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.

Alan watts teachings have allowed me, the ego, to profusely love the life of which I am living. It's gorgeous, I just wish I started enjoying it this much sooner. But that was all part of the dance of which I am dancing.

[@rickzauner]

And make you speak like your a Renaissance poet? Is that how you know 🤔

[@ML-ks2lj]

You cannot enjoy the life without the stuff that not enjoyable. Other wise there would be no such thing as joy. You must have light to dark front to back. Good and bad. The foreground with a background which is which?

@Zih Vil we are the creation. When you look into the universe. You’re looking into yourself. What you’re made up of. What you’ll always be. It’s a reflection. Not separate.

[@dnell134]

@Zih Vil I agree

[@BobSmith-zq6gz]

The first step I took on what would become my degrees in Astronomy was with a high school teacher. And I'll never forget him saying, "We are the Universe trying to understand itself." It was poignant then, and now.

This is the complete opposite of what is said. If you want to improve yourself, you still think you are different from it. Who is the self, that wants to improve itself? The one that wants to improve is the one that needs improving. Cheers! :)

"Begin looking at the spaces between people." Vibrant Awareness by 'just being'. What may seem like a 'seemingly subtle' influence of Alan Watts' Soulfulness but is so much more. 🧘‍♀️🙏💙❣

[@AdeanaSlater]

“You don’t have to do nothing at all.” YES. We call them God’s army of Light. They feel compelled to “do something.” But they don’t need to. They are already doing what they are here to do. I can go down God’s army ranks from there. I think the whole point of this message should be: “Reach for the stars” and be who you want to be regardless of anyone telling you anything differently.”

I love to see the story of Dr. Wudi. He observed timelapse of all Universes. He holds a very different view. He has an unusual Theory of Everything. He is a scientist, biotechnologist and physician. He has been observing in silence since 2017. If you make a video about him, I think it would be a truly fascinating story.

Here comes the sun, do do do do :) And the more you see yourself in others the more it solidifies this compassionate mindset which is free and walkable to be attent in the now. Like can be truly joyful when your thought patterns aren't comparing or being negative to the self OR others. Because the self gets it's ID from other external minds, equally as it gets it's ID from the internals of the mind.
