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.

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.💕❤️❤️💕

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! 🙏💖✨

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'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).

We just need someone to sit with us so we won’t be lonely

When you truly experience life without judgment, you become free

We can do this! Balance friends! Two things can happen at the same time simultaneously! Realize that non-dualism is one ness all things are interconnected! I don’t think I know there is a God! But we have much much more free will than you think. He made us eons ago & let us on Our journey! This is just a stop along the way, learn love & play! Enjoy the journey!! 😊

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

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

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.

“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.”

[@user-et1vx7qv1b]

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...❤ ❤ ❤

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…

[@evrenerikli2501]

Perfect visualization. I watched like I was dreaming.

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.
