The Illusion That Runs Your Life - Alan Watts on Money, Time & Ego

What if the world you take for granted is a collective dream? What if the very foundations of your life—the money you chase, the person you think you are, the time you never have enough of—are nothing but elegant illusions?

In this transformative lecture, the legendary philosopher and storyteller Alan Watts acts as a gentle guide, dismantling the three grand fabrications that keep us from experiencing true peace and freedom: Money, Ego, and Time.

Watts reveals with stunning clarity how we have become trapped in a world of symbols, mistaking the map for the territory. We starve while reading the menu of life, chasing the shadow and missing the substance.

This is more than a philosophy talk; it is a key to your own prison cell. It’s an urgent invitation to drop the exhausting stories and step into the vivid, unshakable reality of the present moment. Prepare to discover that everything you’ve been searching for—real wealth, your true self, and eternal presence—is not a distant goal, but the very ground you are standing on.

Let this immersive session, accompanied by calming visuals and music, wash over you. Allow it to dissolve your anxieties and reveal the shimmering, alive, and immediate experience of what simply is.
