When Awakening Feels Like Losing Your Mind | Alan Watts

You're lying awake at 3 AM wondering if you've lost your mind. Your body feels strange, reality doesn't feel real, and everything that used to matter feels hollow. Nothing makes sense anymore. You're terrified you're going insane. In this profound teaching, Alan Watts reveals why awakening often feels like losing your mind, and why this terror is actually transformation in disguise.​
