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.

The truest Bodhisattva. No one else like him. He inspires awakening with speech alone. His words are like puzzles that are finding their spot inside your brain and you feel a connection with the whole.
-
"Do you define yourself as a victim of the world, or as the world?" Powerful!!

I once told a friend during a 10 day wilderness hike that in my most awakened moments I am the world and everywhere is my home.He looked at me like I was crazy.I knew I was not, nor Alan either.

"To resist change, to try to cling to life, is like holding your breath." -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

It's an extraordinary shift on perspective. Alan Watts words never fail to empower and inspire me.
-
If you're reading this, we need your involvement in the collective conscience to change the direction in which our world is falling. Your faith that we will come through to harmonic balance is paramount.

The only real, small shame about listening to this is that if you've managed to make it this far, and fully comprehend all that he is saying, it is unlikely that if you shared it with most of your friends or family that they would either grasp, appreciate or understand the magnitude of what he unpacks. MY God; it's so good to be alive!!

Wow! Just Wow! I’m in tears. I love Alan Watts
-
I'm always happiest in the natural environment, amongst the trees, under the stars, away from society. Don't know what that says about me. But it's what I know. What I feel. Can stare at the stars for hours. Watch an ant colony at work all day. The natural world is what I revere.
-
It makes me sad that he's not with us anymore....SO powerful and wise his words are...
-
When you align yourself with your true self you can achieve what you want.

I usually listen to Alan Watts to relax or fall asleep, but this time his speech woke me up!!
-
Ive been listening to alan watts for about 15 years now. Its funny how he can point out every problem and solution to life and get 3.5k views. Meanwhile millions watch the news just to absolutely lose their mind.

"The paper in our system is more valuable than the wealth. " . Let that sink in . Easily the most profound words I've ever heard in my life. Western civilization in one sentence.
-
"but you begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental" Yep. I felt that because I didn't believe in a world past this one- that there's a non-physical soul, I could see that I exist now because of the world, and I will come back again. Fundamental existence. No need to explain why. I love how Alan Watts translates the zen riddles so well!
-
I don’t need words to hold my great granddaughter in my arms and feel the connection and love.. When our world is limited by time and space, we understand truth when it repeats itself in time and space..
-
So powerful.. i feel sorry for the masses that dont contemplate this beautiful reality
