Full Description

In order to come to your senses, Alan Watts often said, you sometimes need to go out of your mind. Perhaps more than any other teacher in the West, this celebrated author, former Anglican priest, and self-described spiritual entertainer was responsible for igniting the passion of countless wisdom seekers to the spiritual and philosophical delights of Asia and India. 

Now, with Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening from the Alan Watts Audio Archives, you are invited to immerse yourself in 12 of this legendary thinker's pinnacle teaching sessions about how to break through the limits of the rational mind, and begin expanding your awareness and appreciation for the Great Game unfolding all around us.

Carefully selected from hundreds of recordings by Alan Watts' son and archivist, Mark Watts, Out of Your Mind brings you six complete seminars that capture the true scope of this brilliant teacher in action. On these superb, digitally restored recordings, you will delve into Alan Watts' favorite pathways out of the trap of conventional awareness, including:

  • The art of the controlled accident—what happens when you stop taking your life so seriously and start enjoying it with complete sincerity
  • How we come to believe the myth of myself that we are skin-encapsulated egos separate from the world around us, and how to transcend that illusion
  • Why we must fully embrace chaos and the void to find our deepest purpose
  • Unconventional and refreshing insights into the deeper principles of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Western philosophy, plus much, much more

Whether you're completely new to Alan Watts or familiar with his work, here is a rare opportunity to experience him at his best improvising brilliantly before a live audience on Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening from the Alan Watts Audio Archives.

Alan Watts (1915-1973)

For spiritual seekers of many generations, Alan Watts earned a reputation as one of the most accessible—and entertaining—interpreters of Eastern philosophy in the West. Beginning at age 16, when he wrote an article for the journal of the Buddhist Lodge in London, Watts would develop an audience of millions who were enriched through his books, recordings, radio broadcasts, and public talks. In all, Alan Watts wrote more than 25 books, including such classics as The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are and This Is It: and Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience.

MasterPiece of Zen and Mind

I remember buying this for 45$ or so on amazon 10 years ago and it was one of the best purchases I ever made! I need to purchase it again since the CDs I ripped it to have been lost as well as the original download/account. But I 1000% recommend this to any seeker of the mind, buddhsim , or even psychedelic realms. Bless... To go out of your mind... youve got to get out of your head ;)

Gently mind-blowing

Enjoying listening to 'Out of your mind,' an incisive and darkly humorous look at how we can break out of our conditioned human existence and see things as they truly are. Best thing I've heard in several years!
