🕉😀 How your consciousness is working - Alan Watts

What is the nature of consciousness? How does it work in daily life? Spiritual teacher with a Zen Buddhist background Alan Watts describes how your consciousness is working.

Alan Watts compares our consciousness with s ship radar. 'Consciousness is a radar, that is scanning the environment to look out for trouble.' ... 'So in the same way our eyes or rather the selective consciousness behind the eyes only pays attention to what we think is important,' he continues.

He also explains why we don't notice beautiful and harmonious things that are going on in life: 'Because it's a characteristic of consciousness that it ignores stimuli that are constant! When anything is constant it says: 'Ok, that's safe; it's in the bag, don't need to pay attention to that anymore.'
And therefore we eliminate systematically from our awareness all the gorgeous things that are going on all the time.
And instead only become focused on the things that troubles and things that might happen to upset it ... which is all right, but we make too much of it.'
