T&H Inspiration is on a mission to share inspiring wisdom. The goal is to have you pause, think, and reflect. Many of our videos revolve around the extraordinary teachings of Alan Watts that we produce with permission from the Alan Watts Electronic University.

T&H also films and releases original interviews with iconic people who have experienced successes, while also persevering through life's highs and lows. We look forward to sharing more of these perspectives and insights.

Our hope with these videos is to push your thinking. As Alan Watts said “No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.” – Alan Watts.

This is why I never quit what I love.. Even if it means making less, I know that I am really making more.

[TheJourneyofPurpose]

"Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal, for the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever" (Alan Watts)

[edcatt]

How absolutely true those words are. As a 63 year old man, I can look back and see the same game that Watts talked about, that I played so urgently, with such passionate energy. It's hard to tell a younger person this. They won't (as I couldn't have) "get" it. The economic royalists of our age know this is a game, but it benefits them (also temporarily) so very much; and so they urge us all on, and on, and on. We benefit them, while being defrauded of our only life. There is the true heart break: to have missed living our life while in the service of an illusion that helps someone else who does not care!

Do what you love not what others expect you to do. Even if it kills you, you died having actually lived.

[Guuster]

I never forget the day I realized that past and present only exist in my mind, that time only exist in my head. When I now look at a clock I don't see time, I see some device that represents time. Time for me now is just the space between two thoughts. Thoughts are great for analyzing things, but not a single thought contains any truth. Everything simply is.

You can't live it all unless you can live fully now.
If you always live in the “future”, you can't enjoy the fruit of your action now.
Thanks Alan. 🐛👍🏆🕊🌷💯🌲📯

Alan Watts is like the Bruce Lee of philosophy.

Tears just rolled down my face with this . I'm 43 and looking back at all of watts passionate about life

[Steve-whux]

Alan Watts was very inspiring and his messages still assist people on their life paths. He had a magnificent mind.

I fucked college 2 years ago from when I listened Alan Watts & Terence McKenna. Today, I re-watch videos of Alan and I'm still feeling happy with my decision.

Thank you for the kind!

When Alan Watts said "My goodness! dont you remember when you went first to school.." my goodness, the first day of my school flashed right in front of my eyes i could see it exactly as i did for the first time i went to school. Thank you Alan Watts

[Robin-zbtn]

I needed this right now! These words just saved my life

[tennisjiujitsu]

Alan Watts has changed my life. He was an amazing human being. Wish he was still alive. Thank you for this! 

[TencilX]

I'll be honest with you all. I've always expected life to be amazing for 'me.' That it would just be a matter or time before something came into 'my' life that would turn it all around in an instant. Then it hit me, all there has ever been is this moment. There's a strange duality of spirituality I find. It's like to be free from responsibility you have to accept it in its absolute totality. I am God, we are God.

Wow, it will never cease to amaze

Peace to all beings

[itsbethhealy]

his voice is so pleasing to hear! I could listen all day

[elsapien]

What beautiful words. As a 23 year old male with mental health issues and a physical illness, which is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I have battled so much to take the lead and be in control of my mental health as well as my physical health.

The more I tried, the more I resisted and the worse I felt. Finally I'm at this place called "the now". And I'm so glad I "get it" because I would be in more unnecessary pain. I'm learning to live everyday in the moment instead of living in an illusion. Thank you Mr Watts.

Set yourself goals but on the way up never forget to enjoy the journey and live in the present.

[MrCwaniaczek]

I feel the same. The only time I can truly feel relieved is when I go running. There is only here and now, hence traveling becomes so addicting. The feeling of leaving something behind, that's how you become closer to present. Not by sitting down, but by moving, constantly moving forward. After all, that's why we are not objects. One day we will all die, but let's make sure why die doing what we love.

[tanner]

I really wish I would have discovered Alan Watt's teachings of philosophy when I was younger and still in high school. I'm grateful that now being 20 I feel I'm beginning to wake up and getting past the illusion of the universe that's portrayed to society.
