Why You Have No Motivation After Your Spiritual Awakening - Alan Watts

It is 3:00 AM, and you are staring into the silence, wondering where your drive went. You once had goals, dreams, and a fierce ambition that propelled you forward. But then, something shifted. The lights were turned on, and the movie you were so absorbed in suddenly lost its grip.

This sensation of being "unmotivated" or "lost" after a spiritual awakening isn't a failure—it's a profound validation of your own wholeness. As Alan Watts explains with his characteristic depth, the frantic energy of the ego is often just a sophisticated form of escape. When you realize you are already complete, the desperate need to "become" something else naturally collapses.

In this video, we explore why the lack of motivation is actually a transition from a life of "shoulds" to a life of effortless play. You are the ocean, not the wave-maker. Relax into the stillness and realize that the pressure to justify your existence is just a memory of a game you no longer play. You are exactly where you need to be.
