    Is it really possible for one person to make a dent in the suffering of the world?  In this episode Thom explains why the most powerful contribution begins with ending our own suffering and aligning with the Unified Field through Vedic Meditation.

    Boundaries vs Boundlessness: From Repetitive Thinking to True Freedom

    It’s very fashionable to talk about boundaries, especially in the context of relationships or expectations of others. One could argue that boundaries are useful, but once they become a cage, they become a problem. In this episode, Thom unpacks the difference between living inside sharp routines and cultivating real unboundedness, the kind that actually refreshes the nervous system and expands your capacity to meet the need of the time. Thom also explains why “control” is a false strategy in relationships, what it really means to meet another person’s conscious receptivity, and how empathy becomes a practical tool for clearer expectations, cleaner communication, and less suffering.

    Good Vibrations

    In spiritual circles it’s very trendy to speak of “raising frequency” or accessing “higher vibrations,” but what if higher vibration isn’t mystical at all, but a precise description of physics at work? In this episode, Thom explores how order, coherence, and peace naturally emerge when we reduce excitation, rather than seek to raise it. Drawing on the laws of thermodynamics, Thom demystifies the subject and explains the fundamentals of sustainable change. Episode Highlights [00:45] Q – What Is “Higher Vibration”?[01:16] A – Excitation and Thermodynamics[03:46] Why You Can’t Force Peace[06:29] Superfluid Helium Seeks Unboundedness[08:45] Superconductivity in Simple Terms[10:05] Meditation and Society[13:41] The Meissner Effect You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/8KUIB4Plifk Useful Links info@thomknoles.com   https://thomknoles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom’s only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.

    Rethinking Productivity: Process vs Outcome

    Productivity is often seen as the holy grail of business success. Though organizations obsess over productivity gains, often they miss the fact that these gains come with a hidden cost. In this episode, Thom explores why healthy mission, creativity, and inner stillness are not distractions from productivity, but its deepest source. When work feels meaningful, participation becomes voluntary, effort becomes effortless, and productivity takes care of itself. Episode Highlights 00:45 Productivity is an Illusion 04:01 Making Participation Attractive 06:23 Great Output Comes from Healthy Process 10:17 The Four Aspects of Organizational Mission 14:15 Make Everybody a Believer of the Mission 18:48 The Role of Vedic Meditation in Organizational Productivity 23:02 Q: Are Corporate Missions Manipulative? 23:23 A: Use Your Discrimination Capability 25:07 Q: How do we reconcile ease with being productive? 25:23 A: Frictionless Flow Feels Effortless 26:03 Q: Can we trade off being productive for stillness? 26:46 A: Get corporate support or choose personal control 31:26 Q: How can we remove the pressure to feel productive in life? 32:01 A: I Get To...

    Preyas and Shreyas: Balancing Short-term Pleasure with Long-term Good

    Delayed gratification is often touted as one of the secrets to a fulfilling life.  The famous marshmallow experiment concluded that children who were able to delay the reward of a marshmallow for a larger reward of more marshmallows had better outcomes later in life. But is this really the case? Are we actually better off favoring long-term good over short-term pleasure? In this episode, Thom explains that this is more than just a philosophical question, it’s actually a question that has implications for evolution of the species. And the answer might surprise you… Episode Highlights 00:45 It's All About Knowledge 03:26 Evolution is Not a Straight Line 07:41 We Have to Have a Blend 12:07 There's No Such Thing as Perfection in the Relative World 14:19 Disruption Causes Adaptation to Occur 17:46 Q: What can you tell us about freeze reactivity? 17:58 A: Catatonia is the Extreme 20:38 Practice Vedic Meditation to Remove Irrelevant Neurochemistry You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/B3a7BvY50Tw Useful Links info@thomknoles.com   https://thomknoles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom’s only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.

    Consciousness Is...

    Consciousness is spoken of in many different ways and contexts. Usually when we speak of consciousness, we know the meaning that’s being conveyed. But what exactly is consciousness? It’s both a philosophical and scientific question at the same time.  In this episode, Thom cuts through the philosophy to give us a pragmatic answer to the question. It’s an answer that lets us get on with the business of being conscious with ever-increasing capacity.  Episode Highlights 00:45 Consciousness is That Which Makes Existence Relevant  04:15 Is-ness, Am-ness, I-ness, My-ness  07:38 Repertoires of Consciousness  11:24 Everything is a Response to Observation  14:57 Maximizing Capability  19:49 Q: Where was the one thing before it became many?  20:04 A: Everywhereness Inside of It  23:36 Once Upon a Time  26:26 The Variety that Creates Storyline  29:17 Lesha Avidya: The Faint Remains of Ignorance  32:09 A Blend of Ignorance and Consciousness  34:42 Q - Is more consciousness better?  35:13 A: The Animal Kingdom is More Violent Than the Human Kingdom  37:32 Content vs Context  42:15 The Ability of Enlightenment You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Hj3SxekBMOM Useful Links info@thomknoles.com   https://thomknoles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom’s only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.

    How to Guide Children Through Parent and Partner Breakups

    How do children really experience their parents’ separation? In this episode, Thom explores why children are often far more adaptive to a family separation than adults assume, and how they unconsciously mirror the emotional state of their parents.  Drawing on the Vedic worldview, Thom explains why change is evolutionary, why staying together “for the children” can be harmful, and how honoring the other parent protects a child’s sense of self. A compassionate and clarifying perspective for any parent navigating relationship change.
