Transmission 095: Be alive

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

This week’s theme is about living.
Not planning. Not perfecting.
Just being here.

Inspired by lessons from philosophical Earthling, Alan Watts.

Let’s begin.

- - - - - HUMAN OBSERVATION - - - - -

Humans love to grade their moments.
Was it productive? Did it count?
Was the day good enough?

As if you’re under review.
Like joy needs to be justified.

Alan Watts said,
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

You don’t listen to music for the last note.
You don’t dance to reach the end of the floor.
So why treat this moment like a stepping stone
to some better one?

Today, this week, do something unmeasurable.
Not for progress. Not for content.
Just because it feels good to be alive.

Bioluminescent water.

Water that glows. Kinda.
Alive with light. Actually.

Sometimes it’s blue.
Sometimes it’s green.
Always impossible to describe
without someone thinking you’re exaggerating.

Some humans paddle into it.
Others just stare and whisper wow.

(I did a cannonball.)

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
