It is absolutely amazing.

My favorite part is around the end where he talks about blame and praise being one in the same.

Yeah I liked that part too. He is a very eloquent speaker when it comes to addressing the distinction between self and other. 

I personally have two favourite Alan Watts lectures. 00:00 - 02:18 of this video is just amazing, it's one of the most simple and profound things I've ever heard spoken. The rest of the lecture is just as amazing. 

There is a shortened version of this video which shows Alan Watts in person  https://www.organism.earth/library/document/89

 

This other lecture blew my mind as well. He just talks so brutally honestly and accurately about the idea of improving yourself. 

 

 

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

@lmfao The Art of Meditation  video is also mind blowing, I have seen that before.

I will watch the improvement one tonight!
