The danger of seeing what others don’t: Alan Watts

(Alan Watts Daily Wisdom) Oct. 10, 2025: Alan Watts Collection. Ever feel like you see too much? In this profound lecture, let's explore the experience of the highly perceptive person—the one who walks into a room and instantly feels the unspoken tensions, hidden sorrows, and secret truths.

Rebel Truth "All I Know" (Not So Quiet on the Western Front)

This Alan Watts talk reveals why this "gift" of clear-seeing (vipassana, "insight") can be the most dangerous thing you'll ever possess.

Discover the four hidden dangers of being deeply intuitive:

1. the profound isolation of living in a different reality,
2. the impossible choice between speaking truth and losing yourself,
3. the pain of becoming a target for those who prefer illusion, and
4. the devastating risk of losing your own identity by absorbing the emotions of others.

I can even meditate in city traffic and chaos.

This isn't about being "too sensitive"; it's about navigating a world that isn't ready for your clarity.

This is a complete guide to transforming this potential curse back into a gift. Learn the art of "conscious distance"—how to see clearly without the compulsion to fix, how to protect your energy, and how to hold your awareness as a quiet strength rather than an unbearable burden.

Stop trying to WAKE UP the world and, instead, learn to live peacefully with your own eyes wide open.
