You’ve Died Many Times Already — You Just Forgot — Alan Watts

Did you know that a part of you has already died today — not metaphorically, but experientially?
This video explores a deeply unsettling idea: the self you think you are is constantly disappearing, moment by moment. Every night in sleep, every shift in identity, every fading belief is a kind of death — yet something remains untouched.
Drawing from timeless insights found in Eastern philosophy and the spirit of Alan Watts’ teachings, this reflection challenges the fear of death at its root. What if death is not the end of you, but the end of the story you believed you were?
In this video, you’ll discover:
• Why the sense of a permanent self may be an illusion
• How awareness exists beyond identity, memory, and time
• Why the fear of death depends on clinging to a story
• How “dying before you die” leads to psychological freedom
• The wave-and-ocean metaphor that transforms how you see life and death
This is not a belief system.
Not a doctrine.
But an invitation to notice what is already happening.
If you’ve ever felt moments where the self dissolved — in love, music, silence, or deep presence — this video speaks directly to that experience.
