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.
“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
When you truly experience life without judgment, you become free
Agreed
Thanks for d wonderful video.

“One cannot act creatively, except on the basis of stillness.” What a beautiful truth.
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.💕❤️❤️💕
🙏🙏🙏
blessings to you
Prayers won't pay the bills....you do that
@ChildofGod98765 -- First, I am sorry things are so tough for you right now. From your comment I believe you are a Christian, yes? Fyi: Alan Watts (the philosopher speaking in this video) I believe was an atheist....and a sharp critic of Christianity (all religion maybe?). That does not mean you cannot still find his words helpful (sounds like you did). Of course, Jesus of Nazareth himself, in the Sermon on the Mount, teaches that we should not worry (overthink). And Paul speaks of a similar, although Christ-centered, "stop overthinking" meditation.: "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 4:7
Matthew 6:25-34.
Be careful with Christianity and other people’s interpretations of it. Christians have a tendency to dwell too much on the past and place too much hope in the future. Life happens now. Focus more on the blessings that you currently have and less on the things you do not have. Do what is best for you and your kids today. No amount of worry, stress, or anxiety has ever really changed the outcome of any situation. When we live in the past, we suffer from depression. When we live for the future, we suffer from anxiety. When we live here and now, we are at peace. We can’t really live unless we live fully in the here and now.
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! 🙏💖✨
i really need to get better at not thinking. there is so much peace when you are able to calm your mind
I find that my excitement over what seems “good” is directly proportional to the level of crisis I go into when things go south.
What I have found, is that over time, what seems “good” when it happens is often not when looking back on it years later, and vice versa.
I think the truth is, right now is all we have ever had, and what happens is neither good nor bad. It is both.
OH MY UNIVERSE!!! Are you the future version of me? Because same. Im there right now 🫤😔
It can get scary just being... You start to wake up
@@palestar828 never fear waking up...we all need the veil lifted to see our true purpose!
❤Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit!
You've captured -- distilled, perhaps the better word -- the essence of it
👍🙌🙏
Zazen!
@@wavephasemusic
Don’t “ever” let “them” blame “ “you “ for what they did. Don’t give them leverage! I am
@@wavephasemusic
I don’t know exactly how to take your reply. ✌️❤️
"When you don't name things any longer, you start seeing them." ❤
This video always leaves me speechless and in tears. I'm not sure what I'm feeling at the end but it's powerful, beautiful, spectacular. It moves me and i'm not sure why.
When I close my eyes, I focus on the light I see in my mind. Thats when everything gets exciting. When I awake, I'm thankful for enjoying the ride, I just been on.
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. ❤
There will never be another person anything like him. He will live on forever , quite amazing when you think of the irony on how he talks about the purpose of life . I believe his way of speaking is because he is in the flow state he wasn’t trying , he wasn’t working he was living .he has unparalleled confidence in speaking . i feel more people need to know of him. anytime I can’t sleep, feel depressed or lonely he has gotten me through it .
Absolutely. Sometimes while listening, it's almost as if he is speaking directly to me. It's like he and I are in the room together, just talking. These videos, his lectures and books seem to keep his spirit alive. In this way, his message transcends time and his voice echoes into eternity. ❤
@@kwik8534Watts referred to himself as a “philosophical entertainer” for good reason. ❤
I totally agree, AW is a gift that keeps on giving 🎇
"One cannot act, creatively, except on the basis of stillness." ❤
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.
i love this one a lot.
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).
🎉
I love this comment im 23 had an awakening and chose to travel free of care because something deep down told me id be fine wherever i go so i did and i am. Alan watts was a spectacular spirit he was here to awaken part of humanity
This video is an experience.
Perfect visualization. I watched like I was dreaming.
i could listen to this guy all day, every day, something about his voice just makes me peaceful
Wow this just popped up when I just told myself I need to get fully in the present and get all that thinking chatter out of my damn head…thank u so much for posting! This is such Divine Timing… best video on this topic ever created…
The section on action without point was truly profound for me. It’s important we all become aware that we are already where we think we need to be.
What a Devine incredible gentleman so wise and intelligent
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.
Dude me too! Nothing More brought be to Alan Watts last summer now I'm addicted. Valhalla specifically was the song that got me hooked.
I‘m in love with Alan‘s voice,as well as the beautiful visuals. thx for sharing.
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…
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...❤ ❤ ❤
Sometimes I understand him. And IT BLOWS ME AWAY
Awareness of self is the greatest experience. I pass on this knowledge / gnosis wherever my heart leads.
Watts is got this distinct voice.
An important video for human kind
The last bit of the video is...why incredible. If we are possible, anything is possible🙏
What an amazing teacher 🙇♂️
Man i can listen to this man for hours, hope his voice will be allowed for AI purposses to read all his books and much more
The reason why God made this world just by his WORD.
We just need someone to sit with us so we won’t be lonely
WOW, Just AMAZING
I love falling asleep to Alan watts, and now I will be falling asleep to your videos thank you brother thank🎉❤
AMAZING the curator of these videos is excellent . The coordination of the videos with voice and story is fabulous makes it so real;more importantly is the thought behind the narration invoke by Alex is wonderful.
Thank you.
Again, so much wisdom from this man. Seeing, hearing, sensing, feeling, and Just Being-ness. The profound Simplicity that just Is. Plus, such gorgeous video! Thank you. Namaste
Deliciously eloquent.
My mind is my own worst enemy but whenever I read or watch anything to do with the Lord my mind relaxes. We mustn’t let our thoughts torment us, just let Jesus take care of it. He’s got this🙏✝️🛐💟
Um Ser Humano extraordinário… Brilhante!
So important words!
Thank you
I have seen that light described at 8:16. I feel that I saw myself in soul form.
अपने सपनों की ओर बढ़ो, और जब तक वे हकीकत नहीं बन जाते, तब तक रुको मत।
"Fabulous Fractals" 🕉️☯️💚
Thanks so much for this wonderful and inspiring video❤❤❤
Omg this is the most mind spiritual impact video I've ever seen on youtube.
Tremendous work by your whole team, really thankful for your help.
I’m in need of your prayers and healing vibes. Please keep me in your thoughts as I work towards better health.
Sending you love.. Be strong
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!! 😊
That was great. Can’t believe I haven’t heard it before. Thank you !
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 my prayers goes out to whoever needs it. AMEN . 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Stay strong , stay in the moment as much as u can and from there do everything else . my silence sings and my emptiness is full ... BLESSINGS TO ALL .
What kind of prayers??? How can you hand out prayers of randomness? I’m interested.
Do you think you are so powerful that you can pray something for a stranger and if it happens to them it is because you prayed?
Thanks!
I am enlightened
Beautiful….
Thankuu for adding this matching video and music to his voice T&H ❤ u are one of few channels who creat videos out of Watt’s talks without distorting the message or adding distracting musics..
Beautiful poetic arty and depth edit ! Bravo ! I would add make a bit of exercise before the wonderful stillness moment ;) walking, running, bike , anything . Yin and yang ☯️ motion / stillness… my 2 cents ;) each time I successfully do it …more goods come out of it ;))).
Thank you. 💛
Magic
Great presentation👍 What a boost to lighten & focus on the moment of everything.. ❤
So beautiful ❤️ no difference between osho and watts ❤
This was interesting.
Does he have any books? I just discovered him, and his teachings are really good. The wisdom he shares is truly captivating.
This worked for me so this is my GIFT to you and anyone reading this.. These suggestions have made me the person I am today. So take one or two or all of them and transform yourself to a super being. Thank me later. I personally did and do everything listed below and I got massive results.
1. Write out a statement of your Short Term Goal AND your Chief Aim/Main Goal... on a "goal card" or paper.
2. Write it out 50 times a day for 30 days preferably around the same time each day. After the 30 days, you go back and write it out ONCE a day. This is your compass in life.
3. Set your phone alarm to go off every 3 hours (to disrupt your daily routine) and when it goes off write down your statement and then close your eyes and see yourself with your goal for 2 mins.
4. Record your statement in your voice on a voice recorder on your phone, and play it back to yourself on loop while you sleep and as often as you can daily, example... in the shower or when you are using the rest room.
5. Find an accountability partner. If you cannot find someone, then you MUST write out your statement DAILY. By doing this you make yourself accountable to YOURSELF.
6. Find a community or FB group/group chat, etc and from that community form a Mastermind with one or two people who have studied from REAL Mentors and are giving VALUE. There is a "Law of Giving" and many people are using it. Andrew Carnegie told Napoleon Hill this back in the early 1900s. Its a LAW and it works. Its what I am doing with this post.
7. Auto-Suggest (Think and Grow Rich Chapter 4) to yourself in front of the mirror in the bathroom at least twice a day. Look directly INTO your eyes OR one eye and recite your WRITTEN statement. Then splash cold water on your face. This sudden shock seals the thought into the subconscious due to emotional and physical shock from the cold water.
8. Write out ten "I AM" statements a day. example. I AM happy, I AM more confident. Use the word MORE; implying you already have it, but want more. You trick the brain.
9. Write out 5 things you HAVE that you are grateful for and 5 things that you are grateful for that are coming to you. Mix up the list one after the other.
10. When in public tell people you see that you love them in your mind. Simply say "I LOVE YOU" to them as you pass them, especially when driving, because their subconscious hears and FEELS the intention. Say it to about 10 to 15 people daily. This increases your Good Karma.
It might seem like a lot. But it took me less than two weeks to incorporate the list into my life and 32 days later I started getting massive results.
What have you got to lose, try some or ALL and see your results. Let me know know too.
Have a great day... and thanks for reading.
Good joob for the video man, it matches perfectly
Excellent work. I’m sure whoever worked on this put thought and care into their work. Thank you!
You earned a new sub and like😉👍
Amazing!!!
I absolutely loved this and the visuals. Thats the life i want ♥️
Thank you
So beautiful 🤩
Beautiful ❤
Love is the only thing that conquers fear, their weapons of choice in the paper tiger evilconomy. Every empire is eaten from within, and will be devoured under this system. ✌️❤️
🎯🙏 Thank for this that is being pointing out to discover. Wishing love, grace, courage and understanding for all.🎯♥😶 🙏☮
Love
That's dope.
Beautiful ❤✨
Stop thinking, but instead, feeling first in the purest manner possible before thinking of anything. By allowing the sensation goes deep enough, the consciousness would genuinely arrive somewhere all in one forever.
Just like the fractal pattern of million things, be it the growing summer cloud or the expanding tree trunks, our nerve system or the river branching towards headwaters. They are all forms of one mandala.
Wow amazing and thank you
Not sure i have understood the video. But entertaining none the less
The Dude abides
Not really on the basis of not thinking, I found the video was more about on our existence
My problem is I am thinking when I am trying to listen to this. But yet the Religion audio/video was very interesting and I was in tune to it and listened to it for about 6 hours.
Thanks i needeed to turn off thinking for awhile
👏
Wow this was amazing!! 😊😮❤
If you shoot an arrow in the sky and it goes really high hurray for you!
that was amazing
❤❤❤

There’s no difference between transcendental world and ordinary world.
All beings are Buddha.

One cannot act creatively except on the basis of stillness.
If you stop thinking, you won’t notice the passage of time.

Stop thinking by looking or listening without meaning.

Prefer older AW videos without only his voice, no sound effects
Agree. I find the visuals a distraction. (didn't watch them.)
Hallelujah!!! I’m favored and blessed with $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
❤🙏💜
HO-LY-MO-LY. That was something :)
Hmmmm. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmm. Need time to process and to digest.
Dam this video has me thinking…..
The Gargoyles roughly pushed them into the opening, where there was a platform, and then flew away and left them.
What a quote the million masks of God there you go that's basically what I've been saying we are God there is no God it's within you it's within your imagination inspiration it's within your powerBut try telling that to most people especially who have church ingrained in them
