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.
My wise father told me on his death bed that, although the state of our society is in which money is a necessity for survival but, don't work your self in the ground for a dollar. Many things in life are much more important than money. Love compassion life itself positive relationships. Learning wise divine knowledge to not help your situation but to help others in theirs. Leave your vehicle for your soul in a place better than when it arrived. Only way to be honestly one with nature
Well said 🙏❤️

Very well said
Wise Father indeed... Thank you for sharing... God bless, Amen 🙏🏽
I have been trying hard to protect what I thought was the vulnerable part in me; the source of pure love in me.
I have just realized I got it backwards; the source of pure love in me is where my power is.
I feel the same :) truly, we just gotta be ourselves. 🙏🙌
@@Dank_204 : Agree 🙏
City on the Hill , put your light on a candlestick not under a table.
YES 💓 THANK You, for connecting to yourself more than ever before 💝
Gotta love the wealthiest among us preach about how money doesnt make you happy. Havent seen them give it away yet
That's the point - they are unhappy because they are attached. They speak from experience...
@@theanonymousmagellan thank God we know this truth. We‘ve always been in good hands!
Yes, and the most frustrating part must be they don't give any of it to *YOU,* right?
True...
At what point is it too late?
1 Timothy 6:10-12
King James Version
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Mark 8:36-38
King James Version
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
... Stewart brand, of the wonderful whole earth catalog, said that the quickest way to be rich, and the only sure way, is to live below your means.... I'm 81 years old, and this has worked for me all my life.
I am so sorry for you dear, you never lived.
Awesome. I love wisdom from people like you who have lived their whole lives, who have the wisdom to give. I appreciate your wise words good sir.
That's the biggest problem with people today, everyone wants to live above their means....that and everyone wants instant gratification and don't understand the concept of working towards a goal.
Time for a Posche dear, you will get there faster.
@@SuperBenette ... I would prefer a Cadillac. It's heavier and safer. Or maybe a mercedes-benz.
I've been poor and broke. A multi-millionaire and been homeless. And the greatest form of wealth is inner peace. Hands down.
❤️💚🥰
As long as your not living on the streets.
@@garydownes1594 As tough as it was being on the streets homeless, I did experience some of the calmest, serene and peaceful moments in that time.
I stopped carrying a cell phone because when I was homeless and didn't have one, I was so peaceful. Those phones are such detrimental distractions to the real importance of life.
Ik heb het ook meegemaakt zooo raar😊 6:12
The truth is you have a universe of light within you. It’s the infinite, you are the finite. They will go in different directions when we leave earth one day.
... Smoking a good doobie helps this universe of Light Within Me glow brighter
The really poor man is not the one who lacks money, but the one who lacks the joy of the heart.
YES INDEEDY MY FRIEND! SUSTAINED BROTHER!

We are all gods stuck in our perception of the physical here on earth 🌎
Thank you
Chasing after money can make you miserable. But having to do unfulfilling menial work just for the very basics of survival, when there are people raking in $10s of thousands a day, $100s of thousands a day, $millions a day (like the CEO of DoorDash built on slave labor that have to bring their own equipment to damage and destroy to do the job), makes one far more miserable.
Hmmn 😢
Ahh, the joys of living in a society. Well this is necessary for progress, don't throw that away with some positive-thinking or dissociate-from-your thoughts bullshit, but also don't hurt yourself or make the world worse just because you had some thought and misused it. Constructive use of "negative" feedback is the ultimate good.
1:23 I love this clip of Bob Marley.
When the accumulation of things ie making money your God is when it starts to OWN you.. as quoted the LOVE of money is the root of evil.. we all need money to feed, clothe ourselves and have a roof over our head.. we ALL strive for happiness, few achieve this goal..personally believe GRATITUDE is the start of true happiness and being able to help others along the way..
I am 42 years old and the way I've been thinking has been this way as long as I can remember and I've been listening to Alan Watts roughly about about a good month now I happen to come across him on a TH-cam video and was kind of relieved to hear someone else saying things that I had already been saying and thinking myself but living in a world where no one thinks that way or no one understands or no one can relate you definitely feel isolated and which is fine but you definitely feel outside of this world but to be able to hear someone else be able to say things that I I've been saying for so long and thinking to myself it was just breath a breath of fresh air I said so long ago that money was useless when we got put here on this earth when we came out of this Earth everything we need here is already here for us to survive earth air water fire that's everything we need to survive here money does nothing a human being does everything that we get done so when someone says there wasn't enough money there wasn't enough money we don't have the money that's bull if something isn't getting done someone doesn't want to do it money doesn't get up and perform surgery does it make medicine doesn't grow grain and and a human being does all of that everything we do will get done in here is done by a person people don't understand that the definition of survival isn't to try to live as long as you can the definition of survival is to sustain the bodies that were in while we're here because every single living organism needs Earth and waterfire we need sleep we need food we need clothes or some type of habitat that keeps us from freezing or overheating so we need a roof we need a roof we need a home we need clothes we need food and we need water to survive here every living organism needs if not all of those some of those the way we sustain the bodies that were in is by making sure that we eat sleep that were warm or not too hot and that we have liquid or fluid in our bodies Our senses are here after five senses that we have aren't supposed to rule us they're supposed to help us as we making it through this place so when a lion or whatever walks upon a cliff his eyes can see that he can't go any further and not to go can't continue walking or your hand tells you if you're touching something that's hot or cold or whatever or back away the senses aren't supposed to rule us and have you indecisive about what to do and what not to do as far as going back and forth make the decision and keep it moving we are ruled by our emotions and our senses and we're not supposed to be there just a guide it's just amazing to be able to have somebody that I can listen to and relate to somebody that's talking about something that I find interesting and stimulating for my mind and and in collaborating and and and get through all of this and and be okay with it I've never been afraid of death it's amazing that people are afraid of it to me I mean it's the one thing to be known for sure it's just uncanny how people are so scared to death of it cuz I know I don't want to live forever I'm good with living as long as we're supposed to live. Because people are trying to live forever or as long as they can we're taking away from all the other species and living organisms when we do that and that's not right!

@@rodjoass7284 I saw nothing. There is no thing to see. Seeing is happening. But nothing happens!
Woooow wat een verhaal...
... A beautiful video. Thank you.... and if we make ourselves as useful to others as possible, and to making the world a better place for everyone, we will be just fine. We won't need a big savings account for our old age, or a big bank account.
Better is subjective
Joe , I am quite old, dont save , money loose its value all the time, I will give you a example, a house in the place I was born was worth about 40, thousand say pounds, ten years later it was worth 140 thousand, money in the bank gave you 7 persent intrest- there is allways beter investments than saving. People are so afraid of loosing money that they cannt think, that way you cant ever make money , better spend your money on having fun , in the long run you had something of value no money can buy.
It's a wonderful life comes into my mind.🙏🌎🙏
@@lenakrupinski6303 Money is a neccesity, we need money, and nobody gives you money for free or anything else for free, you have to work hard for it, if you can afford something its a symbol of not being lazy, It seems to be a fact that money can be made with corruption, thats not good money, most things people buy is useless and others benefit from this, so people do not think about money, they spend it unwisely or give it to charities that use it for the opposite purpose than what they say, so its a big problem money is good and evil.
Money isn't everything, your loved , and family are priceless, its not until things change you realise what you are grateful for. Love and Positivity.
People generally focus their time and energy supporting a system that was once an idea.
And so it is. Thank you.
This is so true most people focus on one thing they're entire life put their entire life their money their time their values into one position the trick to life is get out and learn learn more than one thing put your time into growing yourself there's a difference between you and your skills the sooner you learn that the better off you are
This was amazing. Thank you for the video.
🙏❤️
Holy crap... everything I've always seen happening and never understood how others DON'T. TYVM for the video, it's a huge wake up call
Amazing! Exactly what I needed to watch
❤️❤️
... William Burroughs said we need three things for happiness... purpose, function, and conflict.
Purpose and conflict ok. Is not function the same as purpose?
Its nice to hear these words...delivered with a sense of humbleness...i was gonna say humor...but its really humilaty....which myself i possess none of...well i didnt...having died to self i have some now...i should have it completely...now but im still in the works
This positivity is what we need love you all.
He knew he really knew, just stay with it you'll get there
Mr.watts was way ahead of his time ♥️
Many thinks Crypto investment is only profitable when the market price is going up but from my knowledge and experience I can boldly say to you that investing in crypto is profitable both in bulls and in bears all you need is the right information.
I have been making losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading demo account is just like trading the real market, Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading with an Expert is the best strategy for Newbies and busy Investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
@@silencer_212 I would recommend you trade with an expert like Helen Nicholas she's the best
Wow, I'm shocked you just mentioned and recommended Mrs Helen Nicholas, I thought I was the only one trading with her
@@frankjonhson6250 You don't need to be shocked because I'm also a huge beneficiary of Mrs Helen. Her good works has earned a good name for her
This made me cry fr
2:07 i like the part, where the word 'maniac' has appeared, and there she is, yoko in her full glory 😭😂
I needed this. Thank you.
If only my landlord felt this way
I understand your plight.
May the Almighty ease your affairs
AMEN!!!
Whew,
Good Medicine.
Thank You, Alan
Where ever the hell you are😉
Whoa. This was incredible!
I was asked "how do you do it?" She was asking how I can love people so freely, when pain happened as a result of loss or rejection.
"The pain is the bitter in the sweet. Without it, the sweet would go bad in my mouth, and I could no longer enjoy it."
You can lose this with enough pain, so the sweet goes away. You can lose your way. That's ok. It's an opportunity to really learn how to trust the universe.
Where there is bitter, there is sweet. Always.
Awesome video, Thanks again 😊✌️🧘🇨🇦♥️👣👣👣
🙏❤️ Thank you for the support
Hearing rich ppl tell me how it's not worth it while still being rich is not very convincing.
So many people are so eager to tell you that money is not important. The other day, however, I heard of a mother with two children. She had to sell one child to be able to afford food for the other one. If she told me money is not important, I would take her word. As for the rest, they're either hypocrites or idiots. Their feel-good spiels might be valid in a world where personal value is appreciated, but ours is not one of those worlds. Don't give up but don't delude yourself either.
The art is that we are already the semblance of the universe and we can create so many things, we can focus, love and digest any imagination that's in our eyes. It's that simple and complex 😄 and it's that awesome to be alive
Money doesn't make you happy - at best it makes it easier coping with being unhappy! People who need materialistic display, status symbols and such almost always lack genuine substance
in terms of personality, confidence, self esteem and a healthy portion of pride in who and what they are and do. The materialistic stuff is bought as a compensation for this lack. Since materialistic things are short lived in their effect, the buying has to go on and on. It is not a disease but it is a condition that those who suffer from it would be a lot happier without.
In a society where peer pressure is created to the extent that you are considered a loser if you didn't crown a tertiary education with an impressive degree, respect for those who may well do a great job in their field but without academic decorum is non existent. If you are part of that segment, you have plenty of folks looking down on you and that makes it difficult to be happy, too. The thing is not everyone is born to be a successful doctor or lawyer or architect or stock broker etc. Many are born to excel in professions and fields that don't come with the glitzy image of very decent to exorbitant pay. But those professions are fulfilling too, they demand working hard too, they require dedication and determination and skill too, they deserve respect and recognition too and we would be in dire straits without them. I personally admire the contractor who does good work and i think he should be proud of it, i admire the care taker who does hard work at unimpressive pay and i think he/she should be proud of that, the cashier, the post man, the delivery person, the cleaner, they all have lives too, they mostly make do with the little they earn and yet they can be happy at the same time. How so? They got the key to happiness: friends, getting together, cooking and eating together, helping each other out, looking forward to a day off, meeting up for a walk, chipping in for a joint BBQ, singing together, watching sports events together, expressing affection for each other and so on. None of this requires fancy cars, big houses, pricey jewelry, titles, degrees, 85 inch TVs or diamond crusted hand phone covers. In that regard they are not only better off than the status symbol addict but richer too.
wow beautiful video wise words from my favourite inspirations including of course alan watts, john lennon bob marley tupac shakur russell brand-the msg is potent🙏 we must strive to rebalance our trueselfs

This is like beautiful people saying, "beauty is on the inside".
... Terence McKenna said that everything is provisional, that nothing lasts, and that everything flows.
Which is true. You are a spiritual being instead of a materialistic thing. Nevertheless, you have to play the game of life.

What is the name of the music you used in the last minute of the video? For the footage notes.
I would put forth the argument, contrary to Russell Brand here, that most lottery players simply want to be less reliant on others and on the system, in other words, achieving the same goal Russell is arguing for BY winning the lottery. I personally encourage everybody do whatever it takes, including gambling with a small amount of money, to make yourself self-reliant. Don't spend your life working a job you hate at a noisy factory for a meager sum of money while giving away all your free time.
best things in life are FREE!
Brooo!!!! I made the 900th like!!!
It's not even about filling the banc account, it's just about paying bills and keeping yourself afloat nowadays...
*5 Powerful Things that changed my life in all areas*
1. No longer identifying myself with thoughts
2. ATTRACTION has the word ‘attract’ & ‘action’ with it (Law Of Attraction)
3. I'm not a human but a HUE-MAN = LIGHT-MAN = LIGHT WORKER
4. Investing my time in figuring out my purpose in life
5. BE-ing ok with death and creating urgency to make the most of life!

No. 1 is a big realization
Kinda poseur and sales-y "spirituality" stuff...
I love how “in these times of advanced technology “ every one has the answers to everything. Lol
love that pac clip very rare xxxx
In all your getting, get understanding! The more words, the less comprehension. What you're looking for, you're looking with.
We live in a prison without walls
Yep, basically a cult. You can leave most any cult you want, go ahead. But where will you go, how will you live? That's how they trap ya, from the inside out. This whole system depends on the same currency-- try going along without buying gas, or ever going to the supermarket or not renewing your license, or paying taxes, etc... it is depressing maybe how trapped most all of us are, but also even more concerning imo how people think just getting richer (deeper into this system, exploiting & destroying nature, people, etc) would solve pretty much any issue we could have...
If you save money, you couldn't save earth, if you save earth you can save money,simple
It's weird how everything being said in this video... Is among the wisdoms of the Holy quraan...being preached for years yet we blinded when it's a religious command from God... Yet think we realised this on our own.
And The Bible
Not holy
God is Love !!!!!! For God so loved the world !!!!!!!! GODSPEED !!!!!!!
“ It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society . “
Leave to Bob Marley to speak clear an truthfull....so many upaty folks looked away because of weed he smoked...i went thru that sense....too some are lost in it but a lot are here with their senses all
Amen amen and amen!!!!
My richness is life. Bob Marley. Let that sink in
What is the song in the end?

Do what you love, then it’s not work, but play
" We are led by maniacs doing maniacal things ." - John Lennon
easy to say after u have money. it doesn't mean spiritual life isn't more important.
🔥
I live with no money and I'm happier bc I have no stress..
Money is what we make it out to be. In today's world money is what makes the world go round. Sadly for those struggling who have found the meaning of life, can't and will not survive without "Money". Those who live the high life can tell you they don't feel fulfilled, however I'm sure they don't go to sleep hungry, or worrying about if they will be able to make their mortgage.
What awaits for someone who wakes up and sees things for what they are "(TRUTH)" ?
There will always be corruption for those in power. As far back in human history anyone given control over anything will never relinquish it.
We go to war over ideas and beliefs that are not our own. It's sad to see grown men and women can't even get along why because of "Money"...
In the beginning there was Nothing ... then Alan Watts spoke .
I must admit, while I could listen to Alan Watts in all eternity and never lose interest, the video accompanying these wise words is a bit dubious.
It keeps showing only these externally perfect model people, I mean, really where is Joe Sixpack in there?, who seem to only have to invest their time in creating art or going hiking in the most beautiful places in the world and they represent the ideal?
But what if I need a plumber? It's already very hard to find one these days who has an hour slot to fix your problem some time within the next 3 months, at least that's what it's like in my neck of the woods. And in this future perfect world I'll have to presumably wait for six months as they are up and about working on themselves, uhm ... taking art classes, going on a hike?
I mean, I get it, we should develop a different mindset to lose some of that obsession with materialism, but I think what is lacking from this narrative is the reason why we are so obsessed with it, which is vital knowledge if you want to get rid of it. We are just advised to give up on it and lead a spiritual life. This is nonsense. While it can be argued that the material world is merely a concept, try driving your car 60 miles per hour at a brick wall, I think you'd arrive at a different conclusion. I know, it is meant not quite that way, but while the material world cannot be 100% pinpointed, we obviously have a pretty wide ranging consensus of it, otherwise we could not co-exist, so this notion, while literally true, does not hold up in reality.
In stead of just dropping our obsession with the material world, as in all things, even in nature, it's all about balance and we need both, the material as well as the spiritual, I'd go even further, you can't have one without the other. The only problem is, that the balance between the two is seriously disturbed and we should be focussing on that, not get rid of one of them. Maybe we should give up on the notion that there is one perfect way of existence that we should all strive for and if only if we'd follow that rule, we would all be happy and content. That's a sure way to achieving the opposite.
To me it sounds like The Big Reset, you'll own nothing but be happy, yeah, let's go back to feudalism, that worked out so well in the Middle Ages.
💕💕💕
Loved your comment and insight ❤️
The Great Reset WEF 🤭
totally agree but many of us have the responsibility to provide food, shelter, education for our families and that's where fear and anxiety reside.... not trusting enough that life can and will take care of them too... that's the main reason I entered the rat race...
💓🍃
The idea that Watts laid out, that there's no explanation, butts heads with the idea of synchronicity from Jung. Having seen the latter, in fact for nearly three years daily and most of the day it felt as if reality was screaming at me, I can say that it is real. Maybe Watts wasn't saying everything had no reason but either some things or ultimately there's no reason, because behind it all there isn't any reason at the most fundamental, but at different scales it is.

Sounds good however a person who has nothing has need of what everyone has need of. Food water and shelter from the storm. It's arrogant to impose self-righteous knowledge on the suffering. If I got it you got it is a neighbor. To withhold from the suffering is evil...pain. if those with more than they need were to give it away it is a gift. Everything is a gift. The ability to create and produce a "mechiene" is capital. In a gifting economy the individual is still responsible for creating the hearts desire to keep Earth alive for many generation. To sever the will to be the best at anything is to destroy the soul likewise is forcing anything to produce. In a perfect world we wish to live so make it happen. NO GUNS NO BOMBS NO GAS NO WAR
The only thing is this world that really belongs to you is a little bit of time. Everything else you're going to give back anyway. Make the most of your time. What is so treasured by men is detestable to God. Give so that you may receive but understand, God is not strapped for cash and what he wants to give you, money can't buy.
The Truth that cannot be pinned.
