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.

Ignore the big picture. Let the world burn. Feel better about yourself. Breathe. Just, breathe. Nothing is going to be alright. This isn't about them. It's about you.

[@ericfarina3935]

​@@wolfmage1922Who fucking cares? The best person in the world won't stop humanity from destroying ourselves. You are focused on the wrong problem, and you call that "enlightenment". Breathe. Just breathe. Breathing is involuntary. It is automatic. I would understand if you read this and came to the conclusion that I have missed the point. But I get it. I understand. It doesn't matter. You have no idea the terror that waits for us all in the very near future. When it comes we'll call it a force of nature... We'll pretend nothing could have been done. But with an ounce of foresight, this tragedy could be averted. It won't be.

@Saa Justin why do you wanna know God's beginning? Will the truth help you with your current life? Once we pass this earth, and go back to our creator we will know the truth. The human mind is not equipped to store all the memories and knowledge of the universe. All that we need to know is who we really are, the I am, part of the All

“Our success is a failure”. Dang... He used just five words to explain everything that is wrong with our world. And even though he said all this 50 years ago, it’s more timely now than ever... not to mention eerily accurate...

You are a rhythm doing a rhythm that creeps up on itself. Ego is an abstract, as an hour or an inch. You can think, but don't be hypnotized by it. 🌷🏇🤩🏖🐘😎🐧🌍💡 We think in rows of words and numbers, but we look at nature in whole. Therefore we have a one track mind while the universe is multi tracked.

[@lesterdelacruz5088]

Listened to Alan Watts at 14. Don’t know what it is that made his words resonate at the time. It helped me through my suffering. At 31, his words still soothing and still helping me through my suffering. A lifetime of suffering is bearable derives from his teachings (I’ve since added lessons from Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nitzche, and Bible in the last 17 years). I might even say these lessons make the suffering meaningful.

[@dupeit007]

He simply stated what is, has always been , it's a matter of discovering it within ourselves, that's upto us to what lengths we are prepared to go to do that, it's not an easy path but it's a beautiful and peaceful one, as I've discovered 'aham brahmasi'- I am the universe! It's the eternal truth which our culture teaches us everyday. We & everything around us is impermanent, once you accept this truth everything becomes simplified and clear but to truly accept this is tough. As the Gita says- it's not that I do not own anything, it's that nothing owns me, once we understand this we are everything and at the same time nothing

The most fascinating part of all this is that Alan was describing a world his audience would never live in. That is to say, Alan Watts lived in the ancient, past, present and future in one life. So in his simplicity, he had a teleporting machine at least

[@honeybunchhoneybunch9954]

He was an amazing man. Why is it that he was so wise - yet he became an alcoholic later in life? Was it because he became frustrated that so many didn’t heed his wisdom? It seems just a tragic waste of such a genius. What is others opinion on why he changed so much? Am so grateful that he shared so much invaluable knowledge and learning with us all.

We've been always controlled by some kind of force. That's natural.

I'll be honest, i came here looking for an answer as to not fret in life and i haven't found it.
