Grace and Devotion on the Path to Unity Consciousness

May 18, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

Grace and devotion are often seen as qualities we need to embody for our spiritual progress, but are they a cause or an effect? In this episode, Thom responds to a guest question about grace and devotion, clarifying the Vedic view of omnipresence, the role of devotion, and why Unity lies beyond the experience of self and Other.

It is a thoughtful exploration of evolutionary progress, deep inner consciousness, and the movement from friction to graceful living. Listen or watch for a clear and quietly radical reframing of two ideas that are often misunderstood.
