Why Spiritually Awake People Feel Lost After Awakening - Alan Watts

If you’ve gone through a spiritual awakening but somehow feel more lost than ever, this video will speak directly to you. Many people expect awakening to bring clarity, peace and purpose, but the truth is far more complex. When the old identity dissolves, the world you once knew no longer fits. What you’re experiencing isn’t failure. It’s the natural, confusing, and often painful transition into a deeper state of awareness.

In this video, we explore why spiritually awake people often feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or directionless after awakening. We dive into the collapse of the old self, the emptiness that follows, the loss of motivation, and the unsettling feeling of floating between worlds. Through a calm, reflective Alan Watts inspired perspective, you’ll discover why this phase is not a mistake but an essential part of your evolution.

About Alan Watts:
Alan Watts (1915–1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker who made Eastern philosophy accessible to modern Western audiences. With humor, insight, and often a touch of irreverence, he shared the teachings of Zen, Taoism, and Vedanta in a way that felt relatable and alive. Watts reminded us that life is not a problem to solve, but an experience to be embraced fully — with curiosity, playfulness, and presence.
