    Ravana: The Essential Villain Part 1

    What if the villain is not outside evolution, but part of what gives it shape?   In this first episode of a two-part exploration, Thom uses the characters of Ravana and Rama, from the epic Ramayana, to unpack Vedic mythos, dharma, and the surprising role of the antagonist in the unfoldment of consciousness.   Along the way, he reframes mythology not as fantasy or fallacy, but as a way profound knowledge becomes relatable and alive.   Listen or watch to explore why, in the Vedic worldview, even destructive forces may have a place in the larger movement of evolution.   You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/3sGz4FP6LTw Episode Highlights[00:45] What Mythos Really Means [05:32] Valmiki and the Ramayana [07:54] Conditions for an Avatar [10:18] Ravana Enters the Story [13:06] Ravana's Origin in Vaikuntha [16:52] What Is a Rakshasa?

    The Root Cause of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    Does Nature really need us to organize forest floors? And do we all suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to some extent?   We often think of OCD as being a personal affliction, but as Thom explains in this episode, it's much broader than that, reflecting a general lack of trust in Nature's organizing power.   Thom explores OCD through the lenses of entropy, control, addiction, and inner order, and how we can collectively display OCD-like traits.    Thom explains how Vedic Meditation can complement existing treatments by helping the brain settle into a more orderly state., and he also shares a simple coming-to-your-senses technique that can help quiet obsessive momentum in the moment.
