Description
Evolution is the only thing that’s ever happening, but what’s the mechanism behind evolution? The Vedic perspective tells us that everything that happens in ‘the relative’ is governed by the three ‘gunas.’In this episode Thom describes the three gunas as balancing agents, engaged in a constant interplay of intention, action and inaction, ensuring that everything is created in perfect harmony, and remains relevant for just as long as it needs to be, and no more. He also explains how Vedic Meditation, the art of transcending the three gunas, can be our most powerful weapon, even in the toughest of life’s battles.Episode Highlights[00:56] Bhagavad Gita - Song of the Supreme Consciousness Field[03:20] Cousins Go to War[05:30] Arjuna Deeply Conflicted[07:57] "You Could Have Avoided All of This"[09:45] "Your Cousins will Destroy the Entire Culture of India"[11:53] Nistraigunyo Bhavarjuna[13:51] Yogastha Kuru Karmani[15:56] Evolutionary Force is Causing Ever More Elegant and Sophisticated Forms[18:13] Humans - Relatively Inept Athletes[20:03] But a Highly Sophisticated Human Brain[22:01] Capacity to See Cascades of Cause[23:42] Upright Neurocentric Arthropods[24:45] Sattva, Rajas and Tamas - Three Balancing Agents[26:09] Inertia of Stillness[27:46] Inertia - A Way to Stop the Vehicle[29:46] Change is Inevitable[32:01] Meditation - Be Without the Three Gunas[34:24] The Yoga Consciousness State gives the Expanded Perspective[36:41] Turiya - the Fourth Consciousness StateUseful 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/
