The Real You: Alan Watts, Spiritual Creation, and the Dance of Being

“You are not a stranger in the universe. You are what the whole universe is doing — in this moment, through you.”
— Alan Watts

Introduction: The Problem with “You”

Who are you, really?

A solopreneur “trying” to make it work?

A mid-life creator battling funnels, algorithms, and self-doubt?

Or… are you something deeper? Something wilder, freer, more mysterious?

In one of his most profound talks, Alan Watts dismantles the illusion of separation between the self and the universe. He doesn’t just offer philosophy — he offers liberation.

And if you’re building content, coaching, or digital offers — especially using IMMachines GPT tools — this wisdom is your secret weapon. Because the more you align with the Real You, the less resistance you’ll face in creation, connection, and contribution.

Let’s dive into the spiritual mechanics behind Watts’ talk, and how you can apply them to your life, business, and daily practice.

1. The Illusion of Voluntary vs. Involuntary

Watts begins by questioning what we call “voluntary” actions versus “involuntary” ones:

“When you decide to open your hand… do you first decide to decide?”

This single question shatters the illusion of the “doer” — the ego that claims responsibility for every outcome.

🌀 Spiritual Truth:
There’s no clear line between what you “do” and what “happens” to you. You are the total process. A wave of the ocean cannot say, “I am independent.” It is the ocean.

💡 Creator Reframe:
Stop trying to “force” your niche, your content, or your offers. Let them arise. You are not a CEO managing the cosmos — you are a portal through which the cosmos flows.

GPT Connection:

Use From Chaos to Clarity GPT to sort through ideas not by what your ego wants — but what your being wants to express.

2. Breathing, Blood, and the Sun: You’re Already Doing the Impossible

“If you find out that you circulate your blood, you’ll also discover that you shine the sun.”

Watts beautifully links our biological processes (like breathing or heartbeat) with cosmic ones (like starlight).

In short: you are not in the universe — you are the universe.

🎯 Application for Creators:

• Your voice is not separate from the marketplace — it shapes the marketplace.

• Your content is not separate from consciousness — it broadcasts consciousness.

• You are not “posting on the internet.” You are rippling through the field of awareness.

This is not woo. This is reality — and understanding it removes friction from your creative process.

3. The Ego is Just a Radar

Watts gets blunt:

“The ego is nothing more than the focus of conscious attention. It’s the radar.”

This is where many creators get stuck: they identify with the radar instead of the ship.

Your ego — that anxious voice stressing about followers, funnels, and feedback — is just a tool. It’s not you.

📍 Trap:
Most midlife solopreneurs fall into ego-driven creation — constantly troubleshooting, analysing, second-guessing.

💎 Escape:
Shift from troubleshooting mode to transmission mode.

You are not the voice in your head.

You are the instrument through which divine patterns sing.

GPT Upgrade:

Use the Thought-Leader Engine GPT not just to “write authority posts” — but to channel timeless insight.

4. Harmony in Discord: Everything Belongs

“What is discord at one level of your being is harmony at a higher level.”

Boom.

This is your spiritual permission slip to stop judging your mess.

❌ Missed a launch?
✅ Maybe it was making space for your next evolution.

❌ Product didn’t sell?
✅ Maybe the real offer needed time to form.

❌ Burned out?
✅ Maybe you needed to return to source.

💡 Watts reminds us that even the inner “fights” in our bloodstreams are part of a higher harmony. The same goes for our business struggles.

🎯 Insight for IMMachines Creators:
All your GPT experiments, half-written drafts, and product flops are not failures — they’re fractals of your expansion.

5. Spiritual Physics: There Is No “Stuff”

“It isn’t stuff on the one hand and form on the other… it’s just pattern.”

Here, Watts merges science and spirit. Life is not made of things — it’s made of processes, dances, flows.

And that’s what your business is too.

It’s not a “brand.” It’s not “funnels.”

It’s a pattern of energy.

🌊 The pattern is not linear. It moves like water.

📈 The pattern is not mechanical. It adapts like a forest.

🌀 The pattern is not rigid. It is you — in motion.

6. The Brilliance of Ordinary Consciousness

Watts reveals something mind-blowing:

“The experience you are having… pretending you’re not it… is exactly the same thing as it.”

He’s saying: you’re already having the divine experience — you’re just pretending you’re not.

That “ordinary” moment when you’re:

• Drinking tea while brainstorming a lead magnet

• Staring at the blinking cursor before launching a product

• Walking in nature while an idea for a podcast drops in

That’s it. That’s “God in motion.”

It’s not a special meditation. It’s not in a temple.

It’s in the now. In your experience. And in your expression.

7. The Creator of Light Is You

“If there were no eyes, the sun would not be light. You evoke light out of the universe.”

Watts flips everything.

The universe is not “out there.” It awakens through you.

You — yes, you with your mid-life doubts and 4-page to-do lists — are the organ of perception that brings the world into being.

This is not metaphysical fluff. It’s quantum reality.

Your nervous system doesn’t just observe the world. It collapses probability into form.

🧠 In other words: you don’t find your niche. You create it.

8. Tiny Organism, Infinite Impact

Watts mocks the 19th-century belief that we’re just “insignificant specks in the void”:

“This little microbe… has the ingenuity to evoke the entire universe out of mere quantum jazz.”

If that doesn’t make you sit up straighter, nothing will.

You — with your modest subscriber list and your £37 product — are not small.

You’re the tip of the spear through which Source pushes pattern into form.

Everything you launch, say, create, or share is not insignificant — it’s part of how the Infinite sees itself.

9. How to “Live in the Now” as a Creator

Alan Watts doesn’t just theorise. He points the way:

• Stop identifying with your ego.

• Recognize yourself as a process, not a person.

• Notice that your daily experience is already divine.

• See that all of creation is happening through you — now.

So how do you build your business in that energy?

Here’s a daily Creator Practice inspired by Watts:

Conclusion: The Real You Builds Real Things

So, who are you?

You are not your name.
Not your niche.
Not your Google Analytics dashboard.

You are the pattern by which the entire universe expresses itself in this moment.

The moment you stop trying to “become someone” — and start being what already is — your content flows, your offers click, your audience responds.

Why?

Because truth is magnetic.

And you — when fully you — are the truth.
