Why Clinging Turns Love Into Fear | Alan Watts

#AlanWatts #LoveAwakening #SpiritualWisdom #LettingGo #ConsciousLove
“Clinging isn’t love.”
Alan Watts once said that what makes people suffer is not love, but fear disguised as love*. And in this talk, we will delve into that paradoxical truth: **We often think we love someone, but in fact we are clinging to them because we are afraid of loss, afraid of loneliness, afraid of emptiness.*

This video reveals a profound perspective:

Why do people confuse love with possession?
Why do we lose love the more we cling?
Why does fear always wear the mask of “I only care”, “I only care about you”, when what it really wants is control?
And what happens when we stop clinging — does love dissolve or become purer than ever?

The video invites you to look at yourself:
Are you in love, or are you afraid?
Are you connecting, or are you clinging?

Are you opening, or are you squeezing something that is trying to escape you?

This journey of discovery is not a moralizing exercise. It is a mirror — a reflection of how we love, how we cling, and how we accidentally hurt ourselves.
When you understand this, you will see:

Real love doesn’t need to hold on.

Real love needs space to breathe.
Real love begins where fear ends.**

Clinging is an ego response — always fearful, always defensive.

Love is a soul response — always open, always allowing.

If you’ve ever loved someone so much it hurts, panicked when they changed, felt like you were losing yourself in fear of being left behind — this video is for you.

Not only will it help you understand love more deeply, it will also help you **free yourself from the kind of love that drains people**.

Watch until the end — because the ending is like a meditation, bringing you back to the simple truth:
*When you let go of holding on, love can begin.*
