Long before "Alan Watt" was spreading NWO bullsh*t, there was a completely different "Alan Watts" who later became known as hands down, the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.
Alan Wilson Watts (January 6, 1915 – November 16, 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience.
He wrote more than 25 books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the non-material pursuit of happiness. In his books he relates his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religion and philosophy.
When he returned to the United States, he began to dabble in psychedelic drug experiences, initially with mescaline given to him by Dr. Oscar Janiger. He tried LSD several times with various research teams led by Drs. Keith Ditman, Sterling Bunnell, and Michael Agron. He also tried marijuana and concluded that it was a useful and interesting psychoactive drug that gave the impression of time slowing down. Watts’ books of the 60s reveal the influence of these chemical adventures on his outlook. He would later comment about psychedelic drug use, "When you get the message, hang up the phone." [7]
For a time, Watts came to prefer writing in the language of modern science and psychology (Psychotherapy East and West is a good example), finding a parallel between mystical experiences and the theories of the material universe proposed by 20th-century physicists. He later equated mystical experience with ecological awareness, and typically emphasized whichever approach seemed best suited to the audience he was addressing.
Watts felt that absolute morality had nothing to do with the fundamental realization of one’s deep spiritual identity. He advocated social rather than personal ethics. In his writings, Watts was increasingly concerned with ethics applied to relations between humanity and the natural environment and between governments and citizens. He wrote out of an appreciation of a racially and culturally diverse social landscape.
He often said that he wished to act as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, between East and West, and between culture and nature.
Watts led some tours for Westerners to the Buddhist temples of Japan. He also studied some movements from the traditional Chinese martial art T'ai Chi Ch'uan, with an Asian colleague, Al Chung-liang Huang.

When you said "Long before "Alan Watt" was spreading NWO bullsh*t, there was a completely different "Alan Watts" "
With the former, are you referring to Alan Watt(Conspiracy researcher, not to be confused with WattS)? Because he actually has good information, and seems to be very opposed to NWO Control.
Alan Watt is a plagiarist
He's also gullible and highly repetitive. To top it off, he was very snotty and aggressive when he wrote ConCen to have his plagiarised books taken down.
His main problem is that he doesn't research enough, like the clown Alex Jones, so he falls for hoaxes and bullshit. His arrogance is probably the reason for that.
Interesting comments. On a
Interesting comments. On a related note, please can someone post electronic scans of The Kealey Papers? This is a (hard copy) newspaper that Glen Kealey wrote in the mid to late 1990s through to the early 2000s. I'd be very grateful if anyone could post it. Many thanks in advance and best wishes!
