Ask Me Anything: Right vs Wrong, Good vs Evil
Show notes
What if right and wrong are not fixed rules, but questions of consciousness and timing? In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom responds to questions about right action, hesitation, evil, and so-called demonic forces, reframing them through the Vedic worldview.
From Arjuna on the battlefield to the image of becoming a river rather than the landscape, he explores how Cosmic Intelligence, not personal reactivity, reveals what action belongs in any given moment.
Listen for a deeply Vedic lens on right action, evolution, and the states of consciousness we call good, evil, or demonic.
