Alan Watts is such an important figure in opening up to non-dual understanding

He has singe-handedly given me an understanding I would never have had otherwise. The particulars in his speech and the nuance to his words hooks into my mind like a secret language and he explains things that I've felt that I could never possibly begin to unravel by myself.

@NorthNow That's why these people are called masters and are praised all over the world. Such as Christ, Buddha and others. And there are a lot of them.

Yes. Watts' words have been absolutely instrumental in my own path of awakening. The first 44 minutes of the 'Do you do it or does it do you'-lecture (it's on YT) is hands down the best 44 minutes you can spend on YouTube (if you want to awaken).

There is no human being in the last several hundred years that has given anything new, groundbreaking, or game-changing.  Only a regurgitation of ideas since Ancient India times.  

Presently 5meo and NN seems like the biggest game-changing hack, that can save a person decades of self-reflection, self-surrender, and meditation, which will need to be done in conjuncture. Allan Watts has started many people on the path but ultimately there is no teacher that can break people past the ceiling that they cast on themselves.  Teachers cast about 5% of the path.  Psychs maybe 15-30%, and the rest is based on sheer will and willingness to obtain it all and be willing to let go of it all.

:) Weird how it works, because I was just watching his video last night "What Do You Desire?" and had the same thought in my mind.
