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.
I got snowed into a house with a wood burning stove one winter in New Hampshire, and listed to about 7 hours worth of Alan Watts after the sun went down with the only light coming from the fire. It was an amazing and surreal experience.
Oh that’s magnificent 😎
Sounds absolutely beautiful

Wow! How cool!!
i'm now in the middle of a Typhoon labelled category red, I am stuck indoors with a hot cup of English breakfast tea and the sound of the rain and heavy-winds up to 200kmph (125mph) pounding against my large glass windows, listening to this remarkable man on my loud speaker. It's a true ASMR experience.

"Our world today is about speed. Everyone seems to be in a rush, yet most of people are unsatisfied; and, they have no clue where they're going...it's the rare person who slows down to enjoy the present moment." (Harper Daniels, 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety). We don't need to accept the stresses and preconditioned worried of our modern societies. We can return to the basics. We can return to ourselves.
Hello. I listened to you today. I probably listened to your bullshit because I has weed today. Never give up
I call it progress , progress sometimes needs to slow down and take a rest, it’s killing the planet
Would you recommend that book? Is it worth the read? I’m going through the most difficult time in my life at 68, and I need something.
I’m chronically ill, full of anxiety, and depressed because of a few severe forms of tick-borne illnesses, which generally ve me malaria symptoms, and so is my grown son, who let his treatment slip, and is in jail, money is extremely tight because of his mania, my fiancée dropped me because he can’t face reality, and I’m alone and disabled (not that you’d know it on the outside). There’s WAY more to this, but I hate this part of my life, and I’ve always been optimistic, and have hope for a better future. Thank you!!!
@@Tinyteacher1111 I'm sorry to hear everything you have gone through. The book is a nice mindfulness guide, but it's probably best to make it one part of a bigger healing approach. Life is hard sometimes so it's important to have at least a few moments per day to let the stresses and worries pass.
@@rijd2304 yes! I totally agree and that’s why I take time to mediate and ask for answers. Thank you for your concern❣️🙏
I'm from Afghanistan ❤
Allan Watts voice before bed is a regular thing" Great human being 👍💝💝💝✅
No way - I’m Afghan too! Khush wa sehatmand bashen.
Greetings from Virginia
This human who is no longer with us in physical form, by me listening to him sharing his thoughts and perceptions, has made me feel more understood than I have ever felt by anyone in my entire life except perhaps by my own mother.
As Witt LOwry put it, "Society taught me to hate myself." and like many have said, to let go and live life for the moment not in fear of the future, or fear of the past repeating itself.
A dog lives in the moment and as beautiful as that is its past and future are already determined because of that. If we don’t use the Time Machine in our heads to try and make a transcendental change then we are simply a predetermined vessel of this world, which in my view is a waste a consciousness.
I found this to be extremely enlightening!
Alan Watts is a speaker for all generations. He clearly knew how to play the game of life. What a truly life changing talk.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤
Truly he was fully aware, bless him for making these talks recorded, along with his son. 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
He was a drunken bum , find a new hero !
I think he died from effects of alcohol abuse; not to take anything away from his musings, but I don't think he discovered some unique clarity that gave him any sort of peace.
@@blakeaaron5698 yup..rantings and ravings of an alcoholic!!
If you’re reading this comment, it’s too late, you’ve already been immensely blessed with an abundance of love, wealth, luck, health, joy, and whatever else your heart desires!! I’m so proud of you for surviving everything you’ve been through. This is your sign to go after what your heart most desires for the highest good, it’s your time....
❤❤❤❤
Thank you Lotus for your kind and encouraging words to humanity and to me. I am trying to get to that point but it is a bit aspirational for me. Sending love from Mary ❤🕯🕯
Thank you. You as well.
Love u ❤🙏
I love you too ❤🙏🏽🛐
I enjoy taking time to watch and listen to these videos. I don't judge or question, I just be part of it. My breathing rate drops, my sense of calm increases. My mind always feels better by the end of it. Thank you for continuing to make these videos. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! :))
Life sends you the problems.....then sends you the solutions to solve them!Accept -resolve -forget- move on ......its called life 😊
🙌💗
I will never stop caring. My life is important
Holy freaking christ, did this guy have things to say or what? Is this just philosophy, or is it art as well? To speak so eloquently such deep truth, seriously? I have listened to this man for years, I don't know how many, and still it's just mind blowing. As we live life, these things take on new meaning. Straight at the core. Jiddu Krishnamurdti was like this. This is earth shattering truth, a level of consciousness and understanding that is pushing the boundaries of human consciousness. This is a part of all of us, as we chop our wood and carry our water. This is a wonderful example of how incredible humans are, and ultimately the cosmos and whatever may lie beyond.
❤❤
i was into him 10 yrs ago, turns out he drank himself to death in a cabin still rather early in life. Theres much more to learn past what his words offer. Youll get stuck unless you dig even deeper. The seriousness in life, youll understand when you become aware of the depth of suffering that humans can experience. Then youll either drink yourself to death as he did or find the answers he never could. Then, still more to learn.
I totally agree!
@@nikkimousiex1931Always more to learn. I didn’t know how he died, not that I makes a difference. Thanks very much!
Dawg....it's Alan Muthaeffin' Watts boy! If you don't know, now you know!!!!
Older recordings have so much character. It would not be the same if it was crisp and clear. This is perfect.
Imperfections add warmth to sound. I only listen to vinyl records . Whatever the imperfections may be , the depth of sound is far greater.
"But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be." - Alan Watts
As a fine artist myself, it is refreshing to feel understood.
Thank you! 💖
Same here, sometimes evil can make us feel like we don't mafder as artists when we do. Thank you Alan
Not feeling the need too be understood will make you a finer artist 😊
I had the pleasure of treating a 106-108 year old Artist. I have her last paintings she made hanging in the gym where my coworkers and I treat. I asked her one day, how did you know how to value one of your pieces, was it subjective to quality, your like or dislike for the person, size, materials used, time consumed…? “If they rolled up in an expensive car, I would charge more.” 😂 She was a joy and lived an interesting life 🎉.
i'm now in the middle of a Typhoon labelled category red, I am stuck indoors with a hot cup of English breakfast tea and the sound of the rain and heavy-winds up to 200kmph (125mph) pounding against my large glass windows, listening to this remarkable man on my loud speaker. It's a true ASMR experience.
How did things turn out? With the tea I mean, not the hurricane. 😄
Idk why Alan watts voice is so calming
There's thousands of people out there who we all can learn from and I'm sure there's thousands of you people who are always listening to Alan Watts but, after listening and learning what he is talking about no one will ever be able to live such a life until you apply it to your way of life. Then comes the experiences and knowledge fore...
Experience + Knowledge = true WISDOM
Take life to a level of simplicity and peace 🕊️
MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS
Alan Watts, my hero of truth!!!

AUM is what there is.
Everything is AUM.
It has no meaning except it is the pulse of life.
Thanks Alan. 1 September 2023.🦋🦋🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹
I am an Ayuvedic trained Licensed Esthetician. Lately I've been working with different sound frequencies (alpha, delta) along with Shamanic drumming and chanting sounds/music into my treatments to help bring more balance into my clients lives. It definitely helps me too. Thank you for sharing this sincerely. It helps bring confirmation that I am on the right path. Namaste ✨️🪬
Existing in Our moments and accepting everything that comes with the Emotions will always be True..
Stop caring so much and everything becomes funnier, people hate it
The periphery or what u cared about before hate it
I had an old man screaming at me at a wedding party because of this. It was amazing
This is the big secret (and Watts said it many times): you don't control your thoughts. You don't control your feelings. Aka, you can't choose what you're going to think of next without already thinking of it. Similarly, you don't know how you're going to feel about anything until you do actually feel - sensations aren't chosen, they arise in the body. We learn, yes. We have preferences. I don't know if our thoughts are 'just' a product of our biology / environment or if they're given to us by God or what. It almost wouldn't matter - because a thought is a thing experienced. And thus we get to it: what then, is choice and free will? We have our own preferences and we like to think that we're not puppets, and fine. But what would choice even be? To 'choose' (do) the thing you prefer, right? Except you didn't choose what you prefer. That preference that you have about anything - you didn't choose to have it. You just have it. Just like you can't choose to learn. You take in information but you don't go into your brain and rewire it to finally 'get' whatever it is you didn't get previously. See - choice doesn't exist. Options exist, yes. Action exists. Consequences exist. Learning exists. We all have a conscience and that's never going away, even if it's not always right. But at a fundamental level, we're not choosing. We're experiencing our thoughts and our feelings and the consequences of our actions. And so then what is the ego, if choice doesn't exist? Not much, if anything. But does that mean you'll wake up? Who knows - it's not up to you. Watch and see. Would you remove the obstacles from the path of the protagonist in your favorite story? Neither would anyone else. Why expect life to be any different?
I'll just say it, I love this guy.
Love this man, thank you for so much
I’m an artist. Thanks for that ❤ I am relevant. Been having nightmares for so long. I knew it. I knew it. Now I rise.
Amazing insight into existence , amazing mind , genius.
Love Alan. He's very insightful and full of it too. Just another dude.
Unimaginable wisdom. One that suggests detachment brings enlightenment.
The sound is mysterious!!!
Thanks for the insight and wisdom.
Feel lucky to be a musician so this was a life affirming watch .
Much obliged Alan.
Lisa R. and Gina B. Thank you both so much. We continue Onward.
...the flow of tone is ultimately the universal language, a code of communication wordless...
All I need it to hear now ❤🙏🏻🌟🙌🏻☀️
that what you're a loser?
Best speech! I heard!
This man is a genius 🤩
Think positive and you will win! 👌💜💛
Thanks for this. I love the sound of the play button at the beginning. I need to hear alan right now.
I think things are not as serious as we make them out to be.
We work and stress out all the time until we hit our deathbed, then we realize we were sorta wasting our time and energy with that stuff.
Everything is play. But I find I have been through alot of suffering in my time.
I gave up alot of my past and even forgot it. But I have had some amzing experiences on mushrooms as well. The problem came wheb I tried to tell others and they would either be interested and make me abuse mushrooms with them, or they would think I’m crazy for doing them and look at me differently.
The Blue Heron leaves no trace..thanks for this talk. Beautiful music..I’m an artist but feel music can lift the emotions higher than art in general…but not always especially when I see Van Goghs paintings
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ✨️🪬
Just in love with the background instrumentals especially from 7:00
Alan Watts is a genius. His words are so profound. Everyone should listen to his talks. He is our Avatar, Our Mahatma. And if I don't get a red heart for this then no more flattery from me. The art of comedy is so important for enlightenment.

Life is too important to take it seriously..
Through experience one can come to a state of mind and being where you make peace with the past, accept the present and welcome the future. With a gentle outlook with almost no expectation one cultivates patience to let things be as they are.
It's here that the " insignificant " simple things become a wonder and each moment can be approached with a sense of levity.
Ah, this is where I'm at right now in my life as a 34 yr old woman...
There was a time when scientists and engineers were also artists in their own fields. We’ve lost the creative drive do to an increasing dependency on technology, this dependency is painting over our creativity by taking away the work necessary to grow and discover the artist within each of us. Find your inner child and help inspire them, don’t make them live in a dull drab world. Find the colors and paint them everywhere while you can.
I want to give up but I keep faith because I know God will change my situation. Lord I’m sick of worrying. Please hear my prayers. I trust in you and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children. Like many single parents things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling to buy their school supplies. But even in hard times we must choose to have faith. As christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, we can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. The only reason I share my testimony is because we should always keep trust in our Lord he will always provide walk with faith and not by sight!
He will never hear your prayers he don't exist
You are it❤
❤
@@nosetallboybwaaahahaaa yeah ok buddy.
Amen 🙏🏽
Stop caring, don't plan for the trip back either, you'll realize everyone thinks of themselves first. Don't worry what others think.
Thanks
Thanks!
Thanks for this
The love of my life broken up with me last week. I really needed to hear this
How are you feeling now? Wishing you the best.
First time?
Thank you 🌷🪻🌹
I loved it. Thank you:)
Wonderful
What is this wonderful music ?
We all live in our own bubble, individually thinking that what we are doing or fighting for or not for is the most important thing at that time. I'm slowly realising that we all think that whats important is validly important to us. Its just that we don't all think the same things are important at the same time. We all reside in our own personal bubble....
And there's nothing wrong with that.
*Life is short, ART is long*
What it is.........and what we missed. Our grandparents, knowledge. Now Tic-Toc is all knowing.
Evil is in the world now
This video just made me realize something I haven’t been able to realize to truly exist and to die we truly have to live if we don’t it just makes our current consciousness of being existent worthless and that is not true when we live we give reality to reality. Wow.
❤ so 👍 true
Wow. Just wow. Thank you!!!!
WATS HAS IMPACTED MY LIFE LATE AT NIGHT LIKE NOW IM COMPELLED TO SEEK HIM LIKE ECKHART TOLLE SAID WHEN YOU CARRY ON THIS PATH THE GREAT TEACHERS WILL PRESENT THEMSELVES 🙏 INSHALLAH
I wish you all love and peace ✌🏻✨
I have honestly cried with laughter listening to this video twice now. I do understand it’s not meant to be funny but he is such a top waffler it’s unbelievable. Eloquent and all that yes but he is speaking nonsense. Like the old guy down the pub that rambles from subject to subject.
I appreciate this wasn’t supposed to be a funny video but I enjoyed it none the less.

I needed this.. beckuse I'm a writer.. and I love art and writing and really using my creativity and soul.. but now that I'm almost an adult I feel so drained.. sometimes.. thank you 😊
How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking? I taught high school for almost 40 years, and I’ve teenagers and young people. I admire your interest in this and feel bad that you’re drained. I taught my students to meditate, because they were so stressed. Please take care of yourself!!!
Would you like to talk to me about an artwork Im working on? It envolves writing and you might be able to help me if you want
I'm 17 I'm gonna be turning 18 this September 9th
@@lilyshealinggarden5648 You are way ahead of your time! I meant to say in my previous comment that I’ve loved teenagers…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY coming up!
Take the other person’s offer and help her! You may learn things you never thought you’d learn❣️
I taught HS English, so I could help you with writing, if you want. 🎂
Aww thank you, that's so sweet.. I would love to help that person..
Caring is what separates us from the animal species.
No disrespect intended but I disagree. I have seen many animal species that care for each other. It is the human species who doesn't care because of arrogance and greed
@@sheenahlee I agree. You misinterpreted what I meant.

The artists shows us to have a deep reservoir of feeling toward life.
When you takeaway everything else you can find anything you want

Tough not to worry when you pass so many shanty town tents on your way to that office job which underpays enough to keep the roof over your head. I think it's important to identify when you're having a good time, catalogue it, so that you remember that it's not all bad.
What a fluent charlatan. I admired him tremendously in my teens and twenties. I still have virtually every book he wrote in a row on the shelf. Not sure why I keep them. By 21stC standards of rhetoric and pedagogy these recordings have not aged well. But neither have I :) 7:18
Maybe it's resonating differently for me but for some reason this makes me want to cry 😅
Aum sweet aum.
Humans derive meaning and understanding through the narratives they weave, for it is within stories that they find purpose and significance. These narratives, in turn, are crafted through the medium of words, each word a vessel carrying its own unique resonance and power. Yet, within the realm of language, there exists the potential for corruption-a distortion that arises as sounds are transmuted into symbols and syntax.
However, amidst this labyrinth of linguistic complexity, there exists a realm of purity-a sanctuary of unadulterated expression. This realm is found within the harmonious cadence of music, where sound transcends the limitations of language, resonating directly with the soul. In music, there lies an essence untouched by the confines of linguistic corruption-a primal purity that speaks to the deepest recesses of the human spirit.
Don't give up yet.. need ur help
I feel like you are talking to me!
Beautiful, spent half of my life in the art world, and I'm a cat hair from being homeless. We don't care, it doesn't matter.
In the beginning was the word and the word was sound.

In the beginning was the one who is called the Word. The Word was with God and was truly God. ... JOHN 1:1.
WHAT IS "WORD" BUT SOUND AND FREQUENCY
JUST AS LIGHT IS CODED INFORMATION, ENERGY AND HAS ITS OWN CONSCIOUS AWARENESS SO TOO DOES ALL OF CREATION BREATHE AS GOD'S BREATH.
Get hooked get unhooked rinse and repeat? For why? Fun I guess 😅 if comedy is just tragedy plus time, we’re all gonna look back at this whole thing and laugh
