Episode 5: Talon jumps back into a philosophy focused episode to discuss the 5 mental modifications outlined by Patanjali. Mental modifications are categories of our thought waves, or vrttis. These are the things that spark our mind to travel:

  1. Right knowledge
  2. Misconception
  3. Verbal delusion
  4. Sleep
  5. Memory


We cover the importance between reliable and unreliable sources and how you can discern the difference between these 5 categories of thought. Spoiler: only right knowledge is reliable! Talon offers examples and insight to help you navigate the path towards thinking less — a necessary step towards enlightenment.
