Why Spiritually Awakened People Secretly Struggle with Lust | Alan Watts

Why Spiritually Awakened People Secretly Struggle with Lust | Alan Watts There comes a quiet moment on the path of awakening that no one prepares you for. You become more aware. More present. More conscious of your thoughts, your impulses, your inner movements. And instead of feeling “above” desire, you begin to notice it more clearly than ever before. This video explores the hidden paradox of spiritual awakening: why heightened awareness often makes lust feel stronger, not weaker—and why that doesn’t mean you’re failing. Drawing from the insights of Alan Watts, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche, this journey moves through shadow, libido, ego, and transmutation to reveal a deeper truth most spiritual conversations avoid. Lust is not presented here as sin or weakness, but as energy—life force asking to be understood rather than suppressed. Jung called it the Shadow. Freud called it libido. Nietzsche spoke of transforming it. Alan Watts reminded us that trying to rise “above” desire is often just another mask of the ego. Through a slow, cinematic narrative, this video invites you into a dim, silent room where awareness meets impulse—not to fight it, but to witness it. You’ll explore why stillness amplifies desire, why suppression strengthens what we resist, and how conscious presence turns inner conflict into integration. This is not a video about purity or denial. It’s about awakening without self-betrayal. If you’ve ever wondered why spiritual clarity doesn’t erase longing… If you’ve felt guilt for urges you thought you should be “past”… If you sense that desire might be a teacher rather than an enemy… Then this video is for you. Because awakening doesn’t remove desire. It teaches you how to hold it. And the final question lingers long after the screen fades to black: If noticing this changes everything… what else are you ready to see? 🔔 Subscribe for weekly psychological, philosophical, and cinematic explorations of the human mind 🧠 Inspired by Alan Watts, Carl Jung, Nietzsche, Freud 💬 Share your reflections in the comments — your awareness matters #AlanWatts #SpiritualAwakening #LustAndAwareness #ShadowWork #CarlJung #PsychologyOfDesire #EgoAndAwakening #Consciousness #InnerWork #SelfAwareness
