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.

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?

I understand what's happening but even though this man speaking has some neat life teachings but in a sense he's going around the bush, giving a bunch of this and that and not getting to the point.

“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.”

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.

I am the one making the determination about what to do next, what causes I will make. I think of myself and each one of us as having evolved, like all life on earth and evolving still. Each containing the capacity for both good and evil and each possessing the potential for enlightenment all at the same time. Understanding this is a truly liberating experience!
