Why Anxiety Is The First Sign You Are Awakened - Alan Watts

Why Anxiety Is The First Sign You Are Awakened

What if the anxiety you’re feeling isn’t a problem — but the exact proof that you’re waking up? Discover why anxiety is often the very first symptom of true spiritual awakening.

In this profound exploration inspired by Alan Watts' teachings, we examine the hidden connection between anxiety and spiritual awakening. This lecture reveals why anxiety arises when consciousness begins to expand beyond the ego, and explores the terrifying yet liberating transition that most people mistake for a breakdown.

You'll discover:
• Why anxiety is the ego’s alarm system going off
• How spiritual awakening dismantles your old identity
• The difference between clinical anxiety and awakening anxiety
• Why resistance to anxiety actually prolongs suffering
• How to move through awakening anxiety instead of fighting it

Drawing from Eastern wisdom traditions including Buddhism, Taoism, and Advaita Vedanta, this talk explores the concept of spiritual emergence and its profound implications for modern life. We examine how Alan Watts’ teachings on “the game of hide and seek” perfectly explain why anxiety feels so intense when the separate self begins to dissolve.
