Alan Watts discusses Nothing
 
I really feel sorry for those people that shit bricks so often that they can't ever appreciate the fact that it's completely unnecessary.  If you think about it, there's really nothing in the world that should get you out of sorts because everything is really nothing.  Now, this is a philosophical view that I'm talking about.  I'm not saying you should pull a Matrix and maintain the view that "there is no spoon."  Because there is a spoon.  You can see that.  I'm saying that all the things that people worry about aren't important in the long run because at the end of the day, it's all really nothing.  I have accepted this take on life, and it helps me to steady myself and not let the discrepancies and unpleasant surprises bother me.  It's really quite a relief.   A saying by yours truly, "Why be serious when you can be silly?"  Just RELAX.
Alan Watts gave a talk on the state of nothingness.  It's a really good meditative lecture.  Watch this:
