We're often told that we live in a world full of toxic behaviour, but is it the world that's toxic or is it our view of it that gives it a toxic flavor? In this episode, Thom explores the true source of toxicity: the stress we carry that makes us sensitive to the inputs from the outside world. As always Thom has a solution that allows us to remove those stresses and develop the resilience we need to be less disturbed by the forms and phenomena we come into contact with on a day-to-day basis. Listen to or watch this episode for a grounded Vedic perspective on toxicity, stress reactivity, and the invincible integrity of the inner Self. Episode Highlights[00:45] What Makes Something Toxic?[04:31] Beyond Stoicism, Toward Vastness[06:15] Maharishi Meets an Imposter[08:58] Toxicity Comes From Reactivity[10:32] Granite, Clay, and Foam Rubber[14:40] Infinite Stability Meets Adaptability[16:12] Premature Associations Become Reactions[19:43] Rest Beyond What Sleep Provides[21:33] Inner Integrity Is Invincible Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Because it was the close of the eclipse portal with the lunar eclipse on śrāvana pūrnimā (pisces full moon) tonight, we were all in a reflective and contemplative mood and so in this talk, we discuss some of the tensions, paradoxes and contradictions inherent in the transmission of Tantra throughout the ages with the early sadhus in the Vedic era to the Śaiva Siddhantins to Ramakrishna to Vivekananda and to us in the modern context, before plunging into some practices from the Kāmakalā-Vilāsa & the japa krama from our vāmācāra paddhathi.

A taste, a smell, a place, a song — something dormant rises suddenly from the depths. The Vedic tradition calls this Udīpana — stimuli that transport you. But where? Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question through Proust's famous Madeleine moment and Akrūra finding Krishna's footprints in the cowherd pasture — the footprints whose pure dust the rulers of the planets hold on their crowns. This is a shadow world — it has the imprints of the real world but can't give you what the real world gives. The senses have the power to transport you. The question is always: where are they directed? Srimad Bhagavatam 10.38.15-39 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, panic disorder, depression – beneath the specific symptoms of almost every mental health condition there is a fear of death at the root. This is the conclusion of a landmark study that synthesized 129 studies across 38 countries and 58 years of research. "Death touches a nerve. Quietly, constantly. It shapes how we live, how we suffer, and how we heal." The person with OCD isn't really afraid of germs. The person with social anxiety isn't really afraid of embarrassment. What we're really afraid of is death. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that finding alongside the Vedic tradition's answer: the panacea for mental and social disorder is spiritual knowledge. Our misidentification with the material body causes all our fear. Srimad Bhagavatm 10.38.15-21 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this talk, Kriya Yoga Teacher Ryan Strong explores connection as an essential part of spiritual awakening. Beginning with a personal experience involving the Vedic ancestral practice of pitṛ tarpaṇa and an unexpected discovery about his own family lineage, Mr. Strong considers how meaningful connections, intuitive guidance, relationships, teachers, nature, and spiritual practice can support our return to our essential nature. Using the image of a great tree sending its roots toward water, Ryan offers a practical way to evaluate spiritual growth: Is your life expanding into greater connection, understanding, acceptance, and freedom, or becoming increasingly limited by fear, judgment, habits, and attachments? He discusses following the deeper guidance of the heart, drawing strength from the spiritual lineage, living according to truth and ahimsa, and having the courage to make changes when something restricts our growth. Ultimately, meditation provides the deepest restoration of connection, bringing awareness back to stillness and the recognition that the light we seek is our own essential nature.

If life has felt unusually intense, uncertain, emotional, or even a little chaotic lately, you are not alone. We are in eclipse season, a liminal space in which what has been hidden can rise to the surface. Familiar structures may begin to shift, and life can seem to move faster than our minds can fully process. On August twenty-seventh, we experienced a powerful partial lunar eclipse. In Vedic astrology, lunar eclipses are associated with culmination, revelation, emotional release, and the illumination of unconscious patterns. But no two eclipses carry exactly the same energy. The nakshatra, or lunar mansion, in which an eclipse occurs helps determine its particular nature. Each of the twenty-seven nakshatras carries its own planetary ruler, presiding deity, symbolism, and spiritual purpose. An eclipse moving through a nakshatra associated with nourishment, for example, may illuminate themes around belonging and emotional security, while an eclipse occurring in a nakshatra connected to transformation may initiate endings, awakenings, or profound inner change. This eclipse takes place in Shatabhisha, a nakshatra associated with healing, mystery, truth, and the uncovering of what has been concealed. Its name is often translated as one hundred healers or one hundred medicines. Yet Shatabhisha can also bring periods of solitude, disruption, or emotional distance, asking us to turn inward and encounter the parts of ourselves that are ready to be understood and healed. And while an eclipse carries a collective theme, it does not affect everyone in precisely the same way. Its personal significance depends upon where the eclipse falls within your individual birth chart, which planets it touches, and how its nakshatra connects with your own. This is why one person may experience a relationship shift, another may feel called toward a new purpose, and someone else may feel simply exhausted, sensitive, or deeply reflective. Today, we are joined by a dear friend, Nara Singh, to help us understand the deeper significance of eclipse season through the wisdom of Vedic astrology. We explore why eclipses can feel so destabilizing, how the nakshatras shape their expression, and how we can move through these cosmic thresholds with greater awareness rather than fear. If your life feels messy right now, if relationships are changing, emotions are surfacing, or the path ahead suddenly feels unclear, this conversation is here to remind you that you are not alone. Perhaps the chaos is not evidence that everything is falling apart. Perhaps something hidden is simply becoming visible so that a more honest and aligned chapter can begin. Send us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

What if the real problem with dopamine is not too little or too much, but the modern urge to treat it as the source of human experience rather than its product? In this episode, Thom explores the Western fixation on active ingredients, from neurochemicals to nutrition to pleasure, and contrasts it with the Vedic understanding that Nature knows how to restore balance when consciousness settles down. Through this lens, he explains why Vedic Meditation supports order, assimilation, and relevant behavior more effectively than a life built on manipulation and control. Listen to or watch this episode for a grounded Vedic perspective on dopamine, balance, and the deeper intelligence of the human physiology.Episode Highlights[00:45] Dopamine as Effect, Not Cause[05:01] Vedic Meditation Restores Balance[09:57] A Little Knowledge Is Dangerous[12:43] The Active-Ingredient Mentality[16:02] Extraction Leads to Addiction[18:09] Nature Knows Best[21:41] Assimilation Matters More Than Intake[23:13] Consciousness Prints Out the BodyUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Deciphering the Hidden Meaning: Language and the Highest Good in Early Advaita Vedānta (Oxford UP, 2026) presents a transformative history of one of the most significant ideas in Indian philosophy: liberation. Taking the great philosopher Śaṅkara as the focal point, Aleksandar Uskokov analyzes the relationship between liberation, language, and scripture. While modern portraits of Śaṅkara often cast him as a mystic or a religious reformer, the book paints a more complex portrait of the historical Śaṅkara. As a theologian of liberation, Śaṅkara was a maverick within the prevailing Brahmanical ideology of his time. In an intellectual landscape dominated by Mīmāṁsā ritualists and Vedāntic practitioners of meditation, Śaṅkara introduced a radical claim: that the paraṁ śreyas ("highest good") is attained not through action, ritual, or prolonged meditation, but through the immediate, intellectual understanding of the Upaniṣadic identity statements. Uskokov shows that the birth of the mahā-vākya or "great statement"--such as tat tvam asi ("You are That")--was not the work of Śaṅkara himself, but rather his tenth-century follower Sarvajñātman who used the structural logic of the Mīmāṁsā school. The book meticulously traces the evolution of this soteriological model, exploring how early Advaitins navigated complex debates over language, ritual causality, and the nature of the Self. In doing so, it argues that Śaṅkara's most significant contribution was his intervention against Vedic theologians who viewed scripture as a guide for action and meditation rather than primarily informative.

EARTH SHAKING: The Road to 2035, Apocalypse & the Elite Plan | Oksana Buchanan & Efisia Lupino – TSP #2781Alternative with slightly safer wording:Current Energies, Earth Changes & the Road to 2035 | Oksana Buchanan & Efisia Lupino – TSP #2781YouTube/Rumble descriptionWhat is happening to the energy of our planet—and are the changes accelerating?Today, Robert Kalil welcomes returning guests Oksana Buchanan and Efisia Lupino for a deep exploration of the current energies surrounding Earth, the feeling that the planet itself is shaking, and the major transformations they believe may unfold between now and 2035.Could humanity be approaching an apocalyptic turning point? What does “apocalypse” actually mean spiritually—and does it represent destruction, revelation, transformation, or the ending of an old system? Oksana and Efisia will discuss what they are intuitively sensing, how individuals may experience these energetic changes, and what powerful groups and global elites could be planning for the future of our world.Topics include:• Current planetary and collective energies• Why so many people feel that Earth is “shaking”• Major changes beginning now• The significance of the period leading into 2035• What “apocalypse” may actually mean• Spiritual revelation versus physical destruction• Possible elite plans for the future• Global control and societal restructuring• Timeline shifts and competing futures• Energetic and spiritual preparation• Past-life and ancestral patterns• Consciousness, intuition and personal discernment• What individuals can do to remain groundedAbout Efisia LupinoEfisia Lupino is an energy healer, esoteric past-life regression practitioner, hypnotherapist, tarot reader, and creator of the Total Soul Map Method—a deep spiritual decoding system combining numerology, Major Arcana Tarot, Vedic astrology, karmic patterns, ancestral roots, and intuitive energy reading.Her work helps people explore their soul code, spiritual mission, natural talents, relationships, karmic lessons, and direction in life.

If Oneness is our natural state, why does life unfold through uncertainty, limitation, and change? In response to a listener's question, Thom explores why the Unified Field becomes manifest, and why creation expresses itself through sequence, variety, and storyline. Using Homer's Odyssey and the metaphor of the bow, he shows how pure potential becomes lived experience, and why not knowing may be part of the richness of evolution. Listen to or watch this episode for a Vedic perspective on purpose, uncertainty, and the movement from Being into action. Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Why leave unity at all?[01:38] A - The Purpose Is Storyline[02:55] Manifestation Is Sequential Elaboration[05:22] Variety Makes Potential Interesting[07:04] The Bow Becomes a Story[10:14] Unmanifest and Manifest Undulate[11:13] Q - How do we know our next steps?[11:26] The Riches of Not Knowing[13:47] Q - How do we work with the unknown?[14:11] A - Recognize the Through Line Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Ancient history researcher Nilesh Oak joins the Matt BeallPodcast to explore the origins and timeline of ancient Indian civilization. Drawing from more than 35 years of research, Oak explains his controversial dating of the Mahabharata and Ramayana and how he uses astronomy, archaeology, genetics, oceanography, ancient texts, and other scientific evidence to challenge conventional timelines of Indian history. The conversation explores the Mahabharata War, the Ramayana, Vedic texts, ancient astronomical observations, the lost city of Dwarka, dramatic changes in sea level, genetic bottlenecks, and the possibility that India's recorded history reaches much further into the past than commonly accepted. Follow Matt Beall Podcast: https://twitter.com/MattBeallPodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@mattbeallpodhttps://www.instagram.com/mattbeallpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556879741320 Check out our Shorts & ClipsShorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallShortsClip Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallClips Listen Everywhere: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallPodcastApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-beall-limitless/id1712917413  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6727221 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MattBeallPodcast Check out Nilesh Oak:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nileshoak/https://www.facebook.com/AncientIndianHistory5561and12209BCE/https://nileshoak.wordpress.com/about/ Timeline:00:00:00              Introductions00:03:11              Your Mission with these studies00:09:37              Mainstream Viewpoint00:22:11              Most Convincing Evidence01:03:27              Additional Evidence01:27:52              Indian Centric01:34:02              Ancient Indian Connection01:47:34              Cusco Valley Region01:58:36              UFO & UAP's02:02:20              ClosingThe views and opinions expressed on this podcast are notnecessarily the views of the host or of any business related to the host.

It's a new moon. It's in Leo. It's the last day of the Lion's Gate Portal. And it's also a solar eclipse — which means everything you think you know about new moon energy today goes out the window. In this episode Audrey breaks down why this Leo solar eclipse is one of the most significant astrological events in years, why Vedic astrology says today is actually a day to go inward and close the curtains rather than manifest, and exactly what to do with this energy so you can step fully into everything the Lion's Gate Portal has been building toward.In this episode you'll learn:What a solar eclipse actually is and why it can only happen on a new moonWhy this is the first Leo solar eclipse since January 2019 — and what that means for the themes showing up in your life right nowWhy Leo energy specifically is stirring up confidence, self-expression, being seen, and where you've been shrinkingWhat "inauspicious" actually means and why that doesn't mean today is bad — it just means the energy is better suited for certain thingsWhy Vedic astrology says eclipses are not the time to manifest, sign papers, make big decisions, or even go outsideWhat you should actually be doing today instead — and why going inward and releasing is the most powerful thing you can doFREE GIFTTTSSSS: 8/8 Sound Bath — go to www.helloaudreyrose.com/lionsgate to grab it.

Join the Awake Space to explore how to use astrology in practical and liberating ways!This week on The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie tackles the Steven Forrest controversy and addresses the idea that Western Tropical Astrology is exclusionary or a rip off of Vedic. (Find source material links below)Laurie traces the fascinating development of astrology from ancient Mesopotamia through Greece, India, the Islamic world, medieval Europe, and into modern practice. She explains why Western Tropical and Vedic/Jyotish astrology are distinct traditions, how scholars exchanged knowledge across cultures, and why astrology has always evolved alongside our understanding of humanity.She also shares why she developed Progressive Evolutionary Astrology, an approach centered on the complexity of human experience rather than rigid binaries, limiting labels, or outdated interpretations.Plus, Awake Space Magazine Subscriber questions, this week's Ralph Report, and a look at the August 12 Leo New Moon and solar eclipse.Chapters00:00 — Welcome & What's Ahead03:49 — The Steven Forrest Controversy13:15 — Moving Astrology Forward29:21 — The Real History of Western & Vedic Astrology47:02 — Mundane Astrology & the U.S. Chart51:10 — Your Astrology Questions Answered01:05:00 — The Ralph Report01:11:01 — August 12 Solar Eclipse & Leo New MoonAstrology has never existed in a vacuum.

Send us Fan Mail Your attention is getting pulled in a hundred directions, and somehow you're expected to “find yourself” in the middle of it. We sit down with Olga Ramora, entrepreneur, author, product designer, and co-founder of Moonly, a self-discovery and wellness platform used by more than 10 million people, to ask a question that hits right now: can technology support self-awareness instead of stealing it?  We talk about tech as an instrument, not a villain, and why the outcome depends on intention, design, and the way we use the tool. Olga shares how she works with symbolic systems like Vedic astrology, lunar cycles, tarot, and other traditions, not as shortcuts to identity, but as languages that can help us reflect, notice patterns, and stay honest about our inner life. We also get real about the speed of the digital world: new apps, new AI, and endless inputs that can leave even good practices feeling stale unless we keep coming back to the body and to true desire.  We dig into why stories and symbols still land so deeply, from music and myth to archetypes like the moon priestess, and how narrative can carry meaning when life feels chaotic. If you feel disconnected while balancing work, family, and personal stress, Olga offers grounded places to begin: nature, movement, and simple daily practices that rebuild inner contact, plus deeper psychological work around childhood patterns when needed.  If this conversation helps you breathe a little easier, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels stretched thin, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

“Prepare very nice foodstuffs of all descriptions from the grains and ghee collected for the yajna. Prepare rice, dahl, then halavah, pakora, puri and all kinds of milk preparations like sweet rice, sweetballs, sandesha, rasagulla and laddu and invite the learned brahmanas who can chant the Vedic hymns and offer oblations to the fire.

August 9 - 15: FIND AN EXITThe week ahead sees the Moon pivoting around the Sun in proximity with Ketu, yielding a total solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12. This dramatic celestial event centers on the transition between the signs of Cancer and Leo, fusing this moment into a memorable opportunity to discover the roots of obstruction and to see a path forward out of what has been a very stuck situation.The Moon wanes into the new point at 26 degrees Cancer during the first half of the week and then waxes out of the eclipse zone during the second half of the week. Other than the Moon, no other planets shift signs. Saturn's retrograde motion in Pisces will continue to alleviate some friction through mid-December. Jupiter's exaltation celebration is on this week as Mercury, Sun, and Moon join Jupiter, giving a feeling of busy excitement that feels almost like a distraction from the real creative drive going on with Mars in Gemini and Venus in Virgo.DAILY KEYWORDS & NOTESSunday Aug 9: RECOVERY EFFORT.

Joni Patry, Vedic astrologer and author of World Predictions, reveals that your personal childhood wounds are cosmically tied to the collapse of world leaders—and the upcoming eclipse is the trigger. Ketu standing still on Regulus, the star of kings, signals the unavoidable loss of a powerful throne, while Mars crossing the eclipse degree on November 3rd acts as the explosive landmine that detonates the fallout.From accurately predicting the Charlie Kirk assassination and the 2011 Japanese earthquake to mapping every eclipse until 2042, Joni proves why sidereal (star-based) astrology is the divine science. She exposes why tropical astrologers are missing the mark by shifting Regulus into Virgo, and explains how Ketu in Leo is currently rewriting the fate of governments and global power structures.We explore the November 12th alignment of Jupiter, Mars, and Ketu signaling mass pandemonium, the devastating retrograde replay in March/April 2027, and why 2030's planetary alignments mirror the precursors to World War II. Yet amidst earthquakes, floods, and political indictments, Joni insists the real battleground is internal—your subconscious mind, formed before age seven, is sabotaging your success.Will you use this eclipse season to unearth the hidden blocks that have been steering your life from the shadows, or will you wait until the world's collapse forces your awakening?___

At 18, Maya Tiwari was given a death sentence — six months to live. Instead, she spent six months alone in the Vermont woods, and came back a different person entirely. That single decision set her on a path that led through 25 years as a Vedic monk, a pioneering role bringing Ayurveda to North America, and now, a new book calling women — and men — back to a power she says we've forgotten how to hold.In this conversation, Maya and Brian explore Shakti — the divine feminine primordial power — and Shiva, its masculine counterpart, and why she believes restoring balance between the two is the work of this moment, both individually and collectively. They talk about the patriarchal roots of Western religion, what it costs us to lose touch with the sacred feminine, and what it actually looks like to start reclaiming it.About Maya TiwariMaya Tiwari is a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and the pioneer who introduced Ayurveda to North America. A cancer survivor and former Vedic monk, she is the author of several books, including her newest release, I Am Shakti. Her work centers on self-knowledge (Vedanta), the healing science of Ayurveda, and restoring the divine feminine and masculine to balance.

In this episode, Harmony sits down with her dear friend Sarah Poe — a mother, spiritual guide, and self-described "midwife of the soul" — for a deep dive into the star wisdom systems reshaping how we understand ourselves. Sarah is the founder of Living Stars School and works at the intersection of AstroSophy, true sidereal astrology, Gene Keys, and Human Design, weaving them together into what she calls a "soul blueprint": a multidimensional map back to your innate gifts and divine nature. Sarah shares her own path from a Southern Baptist preacher's family in West Virginia to becoming a teacher of Christ-centered star wisdom — including the 3:33am wake-up calls that started it all. Harmony and Sarah unpack the real difference between tropical (Western) astrology, Vedic astrology, and true sidereal astrology, why the sun isn't where you think it is, and why Ophiuchus — the "missing" 13th sign — matters more than you'd guess. They also explore the Gene Keys, Human Design, the Magdalene mysteries, indigenous ritual (including the Lakota "spirit plate" practice), and what it really means to stop chasing someone else's path and come home to your own.

What creates diplomacy, and why does it seem so absent when societies need it most? Thom explores Dhanur Veda, the Vedic body of knowledge concerned with governance, diplomacy, defense, and the awakening of collective potential. He explains why the Vedic approach is diagnostic rather than prescriptive, and why lasting change begins not with controlling behavior, but with raising consciousness. Listen to or watch this episode for a deeper look at how individual dharma shapes leadership, community, and society.Episode Highlights[00:45] Four Vedas and Their Branches[03:07] The Bow as Consciousness[04:47] Governance Begins With Dharma[07:23] Diplomacy Follows Receptivity[09:27] Defense, Not War[10:52] From Family to Society[13:12] Sanskrit Flow and the Sandhi Rule[14:47] Q - Has this been tried before?[15:01] A - Diagnostic, Not Prescriptive[19:40] The Vedas Measure Alignment[21:10] Q - Is this true of architecture as well?[21:14] A - Shaping Space Shapes Consciousness[26:10] Ayurveda Works the Same Way[28:34] Q - What restores diplomatic skill?[29:04] A - Begin With Your Own Example[30:45] Leadership Mirrors the Collective[33:57] Confusion Breeds Corruption[37:03] Change Society by ExampleUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

August 2 - 8: SET A COURSEAugust begins with several important planetary shifts that signal a change in direction. Venus moved to Virgo on July 31, feeling the slippery pressure of retrograde Saturn's aspect. Mars leaves steady Taurus for the quick-moving environment of Gemini on Sunday, Mercury returns to Cancer on Wednesday after completing his retrograde work in Gemini, and Rahu and Ketu resume retrograde motion, reminding us that life's path is rarely a straight line. The Moon completes its journey through Pisces early in the week, crossing the final gandanta point before emerging into Aries, suggesting that lingering endings are giving way to fresh beginnings.Rather than rushing ahead, this week asks us to transition with intention. The first half favors wrapping up loose ends, clearing space, and preparing the ground before momentum builds. By midweek the atmosphere becomes noticeably lighter, encouraging new initiatives, creative work, conversations, and exploration. Mars in Gemini brings curiosity and movement, while Mercury's return to Cancer reconnects thought with intuition. As the week closes, the Moon joins Mars in Gemini, inviting us to learn, wander, connect, and follow the ideas that spark genuine excitement.Daily Keywords:Sunday Aug 2: DEEP CLEANMonday Aug 3: WRAP IT UPTuesday Aug 4: HOIST THE SAILSWednesday Aug 5: INITIATE SEQUENCEThursday Aug 6: LET IT RISEFriday Aug 7: CREATE & COMPLETESaturday Aug 8: WANDER INHello!

What if the version of yourself you’ve been protecting isn’t actually who you are? Why is it so easy to lose ourselves in roles, expectations, and the need to be understood? And when was the last time you sat in complete stillness and truly listened to yourself? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores what it really means to be your true self—and why so many of us spend our lives identifying with roles, expectations, and versions of ourselves that were never truly ours. Drawing inspiration from Vedic philosophy and the concept of the “atman,” she reflects on the difference between the temporary self and the deeper, unchanging part of us that exists beneath the noise. Through personal reflections and honest moments of questioning, Radhi opens up about the pressure to perform, the fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about ourselves, and the challenge of sitting in stillness long enough to actually listen inward. She shares how attachment, ego, distraction, and constant stimulation can pull us further away from ourselves—and why reconnecting often requires subtraction rather than adding more. In this episode, you’ll learn: What Vedic philosophy says about the “true self” The difference between your identity and your deeper consciousness How attachment and ego shape the way we move through life Why stillness is essential for self-awareness and clarity The subtle ways we perform in relationships, work, and daily life How to recognize inherited beliefs and conditioned identities Why uncovering yourself is more about remembering than becoming Small practices to help you reconnect with who you really are Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed by expectations, or simply craving a deeper connection with yourself, this episode is a gentle reminder that your true self isn’t something you need to create—it’s something that’s already been there all along.

What keeps a body of knowledge alive across thousands of years without losing its purity? In this first part of a two-part series, Thom traces the Guru Parampara, the lineage of the Shankaracharya tradition, from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Guru Deva back through Vyasa, Shankara, and the ancient masters who carried Vedic knowledge forward. Along the way, he explores why preserving the purity of the teaching matters just as much as sharing it. This series also serves as a fitting prelude to upcoming Guru Purnima celebrations for 2026.

Mindfulness can be helpful, but ultimately the mind seeks some positive engagement. According to the Vedic process, which is what we follow, there are various categories of philosophy under a sage named Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva. We follow the Vedic process, which can be understood in the summary study of all the Vedas, called the Bhagavad-gītā. Therein is a hint of the best way to engage the mind, which is in relationship—not emptying the mind, or not just stilling the mind, but engaging the mind in a relationship. We may note that throughout human and even animal society, living beings have a vested interest in relationships. You can notice butterflies, even after they are born, consorting with one another. Birds are famous for building a little love nest; they work together, the male and female bird, to pick up straw and build a nest. Humans, you can see, going to and from Home Depot doing something similar. But the point there is not to build something, but to have a place where one can be in relationship. So, in the process of bhakti-yoga—or I could say, the great teacher of bhakti-yoga, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu laid out the tenets of bhakti-yoga that we follow even today. He pointed out that the Bhagavad-gītā and the other explanations of the Vedas, the consolidation or the essentialization of the Vedas in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, point us towards the highest form of engagement of the mind, which is called devotional service. It's underlying principle is that we all have a loving propensity. When the mind is absorbed in the idea of service out of love, then it's completely satisfied. All other states leave us wanting, and those other states are not stable; they may shift from one point to another. There is a word that comes from Latin: "enthralment." "En" means "in," and "thrall" means "to be imprisoned." When we say we are enthralled by something, we are utterly captured by it. In the positive sense of that imprisonment, there's a way in which the mind can be captured. Another word that expresses a similar concept is "rapture," which means to be fully absorbed in a topic. Well, the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam point out that we are most interested in love and loving relationships. Therefore, in the essentialization of the process of bhakti-yoga, there is a system by which we can express that loving emotion that we have and connect with the object of love that is unlimitedly satisfying.

What if the key to manifesting everything you want isn't working harder, thinking bigger, or pushing through, but something else that most people don't consider, or even know exists?  Today, I sit down with meditation teacher, manifestation expert, and founder of Ziva Meditation, Emily Fletcher, for one of the most expansive and wide-ranging conversations to ever grace this podcast. Emily has been teaching meditation and embodied manifesting for 18 years, led ceremonies for 30,000 people online, and is now setting her sights on sacred sites around the world, including a large-scale ceremony at the pyramids of Giza this October.  In this episode, we go deep on the ancient mysteries of Egypt, the nature of consciousness, what it really means to manifest, why pleasure is a pathway to the divine, and the surprising reason that doing less might actually be the most powerful thing Emily has ever done. This is one of those conversations I'll be thinking about for a long time, and I can't wait for you to listen!  Emily is hosting a free 3-day live event called Magic Maker on July 16th, 21st, and 23rd at 1 PM ET,  and if this conversation lit something up in you, you won't want to miss it! This is where she'll teach you how to stop manifesting from stress and start manifesting from the field, so your dreams start chasing you instead of the other way around. Save your spot here: https://zivameditation.com/pages/magicmakerevent. Snap a screenshot of the episode playing on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @jameswedmore, @jenniwedmore and @emilystellafletcher. We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones.  In this episode you'll hear:  Emily's theory on who really built the pyramids and the reasoning behind this What happened when Emily led 40 people on a $17,000 pilgrimage up the Nile,  and the brutal initiations that taught her exactly what she'd need to do differently at scale The Broadway life that looked like a dream from the outside and the insomnia, gray hair, and misery that led Emily to meditation and changed everything overnight The backstory of how she created the world's first online meditation training in 2013, years before Headspace or Calm The number one reason people think they can't meditate, and the single biggest mistake you can make Why meditation and manifestation are two sides of the same coin The Vedic concept of creation, maintenance, and destruction,and why playing it safe by trying to maintain what you've built is a very dangerous game Emily's honest confession about how much of her relentless doing has been driven by unworthiness and what finally revealed this to her Why Emily believes your desires are divinely inspired and what is actually  required to receive them What "Cosmic Emily" is, why strangers keep reporting her appearances in their dreams and medicine journeys, and what it's taught her about the power of holding frequency over taking action For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/839 

There's never any shortage of characters on the world stage who demonstrate what appear to be anti-evolutionary behaviors, but what if the very forces that seem to obstruct life are part of what drives its evolution? In this follow-up episode on Ravana, the essential villain (you can find the first episode here), Thom responds to listener questions about adversity, the severity of rishis when creating consequences, the relevance of mythos for householders, the symbolic meaning of Ravana's 10 heads, and how to honestly evaluate our own Ravana-like actions. Along the way, he offers a Vedic view of resistance, showing how disruption, challenge, and even apparent destruction can serve the larger movement of growth and awakening. Listen or watch to explore how this perspective can change the way you meet the pressures of everyday life.Episode Highlights[00:45] Questions From Part One[01:11] Q - Is adversity needed for growth?[01:25] A - Evolution Requires Disruption[04:34] Near Extinction Drives Adaptation[06:57] Why Adversity Creates Rigor[10:37] Destroyers Get Destroyed[11:27] Q - Why are rishis so severe?[11:44] A - Resistance Can Look Extreme[15:25] Michelangelo And The Marble[18:53] Q - How is mythos relevant to householders?[19:15] A - Householder Life Meets Ravana[21:45] Elevational Theater In Life[24:20] Great Stories Reveal The Pattern[25:21] Pattern Recognition Makes Us Human[27:48] Humanity And Self-Destruction[29:08] Q - What do Ravana's 10 heads mean?[29:17] A - Formidability Through Many Forms[31:52] Ten Heads And Twenty Arms[33:26] A Different Form For Each Observer[34:27] Q - What's the best way for a new meditator to engage with mythos?[34:32] A - Enjoy The Story First[38:06] Learn The Deeper Meaning In Satsang[41:02] Q - How should we think about ourselves if we have served the Ravana function?[41:15] A - Evolution Includes A Lesser Past[43:53] Growth Comes From A Smaller Self Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
