Power of Space with Alan Watts  Preview 1

The Universe Is Playing Hide and Seek—and You’re It!

Imagine you’re climbing a mountain path that will lead you to a paradise where all your needs are met and your questions answered. What do you find when you reach the top? A mirror. This is the great cosmic game, reveals Alan Watts—that everything you’re seeking through meditation, self-improvement, or spiritual practice is always hiding inside of you. On You’re It!, join this legendary “stand-up philosopher” for 15 classic talks on how to play your role in the divine drama of existence with a clear mind, open eyes, and an abiding sense of the joy in the game itself.

See What Answers Are Hidden in Your Own Reflection
Just as you need a mirror to see your own face, the best way to see your own true nature is to let a teacher like Alan Watts reflect it back to you. Watts stands out as one of the 20th century’s most compelling voices because he is so adept at holding up this spiritual looking glass. With his unique combination of penetrating insight and playful irreverence, Watts illuminates the truth that unites all the great wisdom traditions from the East and West—that the universe is always expressing its full, delightful mystery through you.

A 12-hour Audio Retreat with the Original Spiritual Entertainer

You're It! Sample by Alan Watts

“The world doesn't really contain any serious threats in it, because it's all the basic 'you' running up behind itself and saying 'boo' to see if you can get yourself to jump out of your skin...”

“Anybody who tells you that he is in some way, leading you to spiritual enlightenment is just like somebody who picks your pocket and sells you your own watch...”

“You just don't know what you're getting...”

“The only way to handle a thing of this kind, is to bring it all out in the open...”

“Whenever confronted with a Ghost, walk straight into it & it will disappear.”
