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.

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”

― Alan Watts

This video always leaves me speechless and in tears. I'm not sure what I'm feeling at the end but it's powerful, beautiful, spectacular. It moves me and i'm not sure why.

The synchronicity!!! I had a bad bout of depression the past 3 days and as I was trying to come out of the fog, I sat outside just staring at my garden plants. Didn't have a thought in my head for a couple mins & was actually surprised I didn't. I realized it is something I need to do more of...just being. Nothing more than just being. It felt amazing knowing I could actually do this! 🙏💖✨

When I close my eyes, I focus on the light I see in my mind. Thats when everything gets exciting. When I awake, I'm thankful for enjoying the ride, I just been on.

❤Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit!

There's something about Alan that is irreplaceable. His tone and way of speaking. His wisdom and eloquence. You never sense that he's preaching, but merely trying to open our very being, everything about us, so that we can see who we truly are, and live accordingly.❤ Brilliant scholar, and his words often bring tears. ❤ Thank you for creating this channel. It's what the world needs more of. ❤

I always think I've heard all the best Alan Watts speeches but then another one always comes along and blows me away. This one is really special and makes for a uniquely profound video.

Amen. Needed this. Please pray for me and my children. As a single mother things are overwhelming on me. I’m constantly struggling to support my children. The devil has sent people to attack me. I get harassed and called names for simply asking for prayers, but prayers are all I need. God gives me strength to keep going while I struggle to buy groceries and while I struggle to pay rent. Thank you Lord Jesus.💕❤️❤️💕

Perfect visualization. I watched like I was dreaming.

[ItsShowtime]

Wow this just popped up when I just told myself I need to get fully in the present and get all that thinking chatter out of my damn head…thank u so much for posting! This is such Divine Timing… best video on this topic ever created…

The most pivotal talk Alan Watts has given, to experience Nirvana / Satori even for a day… Will change your life forever, to finally arrive where you are right now but in a state of pure presence and astonishment that your here with the gift of witnessing anything. What a privilege it is…

[Dionysos]

I'm 69 and cannot imagine one more thing I'd like to see, have, or do before I die. By Watts' lights I'm already in Nirvana (so are we all, right now).

i could listen to this guy all day, every day, something about his voice just makes me peaceful

[LeJimster]

I only recently came to know about Alan Watts recently through the band Nothing More. His talks are soothing to my soul. I feel like things are starting to align in my life and I'm on the edge of a huge change.

Awareness of self is the greatest experience. I pass on this knowledge / gnosis wherever my heart leads.

[The_Connected_Universe]

The depth of these profound teachings can only be understood through the emotional experience...it takes time to train our minds to let go, to surrender to the Greater design, so we can be able to see the depth of true nature of reality...❤ ❤ ❤

[kmjnsen]

Man i can listen to this man for hours, hope his voice will be allowed for AI purposses to read all his books and much more

[kyleadoup]

“One cannot act creatively, except on the basis of stillness.” What a beautiful truth.

[deborahonenow]
