The Hidden Reason You Feel Dead Inside While Still Breathing | Alan Watts

Have you ever felt strangely numb to life—like you’re going through the motions of existence without actually feeling alive? This deep philosophical exploration reveals why so many of us experience this profound sense of emptiness and spiritual disconnection, even when everything seems fine on the surface.
In this eye-opening talk, Alan Watts reveals the surprising truth: the feeling of being dead inside isn’t a flaw to fix or a problem to solve—it’s a symptom of something far deeper. The real issue lies in how we’ve been conditioned to see ourselves as separate, isolated beings, constantly defending our boundaries and protecting our mental self-image.
What you’ll discover:
Why the illusion of being a “separate self” creates chronic emptiness
How identifying with thoughts and memories makes you feel lifeless
The simple shift that can wake you up to genuine aliveness
Why trying harder to feel alive actually makes it worse
How to release the tension that keeps you numb to life
This isn’t about achieving something new or becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about recognizing what has always been true—you’ve never been anything other than alive. The deadness was only ever an appearance.
