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.
The greatest wisdom there is, to realise you’ve already arrived, because there was never anywhere to go except to be here and now…
So this is it? Pretty pointless, huh? Now what?
Open your eyes!
Luke 6:39 - _And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?_
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - _But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Ephesians 6:12 - _For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places._
John 14: 6 - _"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"_ - Jesus
John 8:31 - _“...If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”_ - Jesus
@@martinscrapp7166 You completely missed the point…
No beginning, no ending, no journey or destination, only NOW🎉
U don’t have to fight anymore…never lost always found
God I love Alan Watts. He may be my favorite person in the history of the world…
Same here. I am amazed how he simplifies lifes' mysteries.
I love Alan Watts! . His lectures/teachings have truly helped me.
Matthew 7:15 - _"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."_ - Jesus
Matthew 7:13-14 - _"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."_ - Jesus
John 14: 6 - _"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"_ - Jesus
John 8:31 - _“...If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”_ - Jesus
Bruh Alan watts isn't the devil just chill
His lectures have help all of us ❤ I’m very grateful for the posts.😊
This world needs Alan watts more than* ever
than*
Nah, it needs Jesus more than ever! With the amount of social decay, corruption and crime, immorality rife, we all need the one and only saviour, Jesus Christ.
John 8:12 - Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, _“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”_
John 7:37 - _"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."_ - Jesus
Martin, i agree.

The world needs Y O U now, more than ever. 🙂
It does :)
Such astonishing wisdom! The Buddha at first refused to teach, because he did not believe that humans could understand the simplicity and, really, the nuances he Awakened to. He had to be asked 3 times before he decided to Teach. And, here we are "Now," being given so many opportunities to reach that beautiful Simplicity. Amazing! Thank you for this reminder.
Very true & Very well said 🎉
Excellently said
This man is truly eternal. I do not believe in the supernatural, but Alan Watts has lived many lives. Thanks to modern technology, he can keep coming back to teach lessons to endless generations.
Thank you for these videos. Your editing skills and music selection is excellent 👌👌.
Thanks for the video! Wonderful!! ❤❤❤
Speechless and eye opening
Like chocolate ...you just eat and enjoy , no need to study all the ingredients and other complications of the origin etc.💥🙏
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL how he speaks and gets the most profound things across so eloquently and simply and xlearly..sooo glad these recordings are in this world!!!
Wish I could have met him. Great enduring soul

Where is there?
Where are you going?
You may be there already but you don’t notice it.
You have to let go your past to get through the Pearly Gate.
Your future is rear view mirror of your past.
4:43
Are you a head or a tail?
This moment is the creation of the Universe.
This moment is the Big Bang.
You don’t strain in creation.
Look at now.
See it happening, not where it comes from.
It happens.
6:24
What you want is the same question as what is now, what is life.
Look at the way it comes.
Thanks Alan. 9 April 2024. 🌹🔥🍀🤣🍑🍺🍁🚗💗🦒🥂🤣
Beautiful ❤
If it was possible that alan watts himself saw this video, he would be amazed and proud of you and congratulate you for this amazing video, the visuals, the music, amazing.

103 still sharp as a tack, wonderful lady. Longevity is God’s reward for her
Priceless, Timeless, I don't know what else to Say!. Wow!
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Brilliant! I dig it!
My life was missing a vital ingredient which was me, Listening to Allan Watts has helped me immensely. Hes truely a beautiful blessings and look forward to meeting him in the heavenly plains
You are the best man 🤩.
Motivation is important, but real-world results matter more
The past is there to learn from the future is what we make it.
The bit about the gates of heaven and to get rid of the past made me think about the scene in The Sopranos where Tony doesn't want to let go his suitcase.
Great teacher & philosopher
Thank you. Your videos are always so good.
Thank you guys❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
thank you
Allan Watts-- ❤😎👍🙏🇺🇸
Thanks 🙏
great job thanks allot xxx
I’m going to be a tree next at least I want to be put in a tree urn so moving at all and breathing until that happens, is nice. ♥️🌳 I don’t have anywhere to go or anything to accomplish I just like being wherever I am for that day and being alone if the people that day are too toxic to interact with. And even if my SO flushes me, nbd the sewers are where the tmnt hang out lol and if it’s just tossed in the garbage, also cool. Part of the cycle :)
👍🖤🖤🖤
❤️
🙏🙏🙏

I wanna like ask Alan watts so many questions bro
Simliar to the road to here
it's true, I have money chasing me now. I don't care if I ever sell my paintings because my art is for me, so I never push them. Now all of a sudden people are seeking me out to buy. It's really odd.
Okay I leave the past and those who knowingly and purposely hurt me but will they be dealt with through karma because what they did to me was unbelievable.
That's not something you should care about. Once you let go it shouldn't brother you whats gonna happen to them. They are gone. Let them go
Tell this to my creditors. lol.
Shiiiiite....Im killing it
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Yr kidding arent you lol yr copying me not paying me for it pfft lol
