I have been reading Alan Watts' books and this idea keeps coming up in every book i read.

So, i made a video on it. Just now made it public. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xJbpzRD5XQ

The basic idea is...we lose consciousness when we look to the future and past. Future pleasures and past mistakes take us out of the present moment. Then, your intensity as person is diminished. You are awake but not conscious when you do that. I also talk about how SUFFERING IS needed in life. Very cool ideas from Alan Watts that i wanted to share!

I go over it in detail in the video. I really think if you haven't been introduced to these ideas, you should learn about them. They changed my life when i was living in Helsinki. Got me out of my head and made me MUCH MORE courageous. If you have the time, would love some feedback on the video. I think i was a bit repetitive. Any tips? always looking to improve.

Hope this is helpful
