It’s Q&A time once again.

In answer to a young man questioning the timing of parenthood, Thom explains the role the child has in its own incarnation, and reminds us to be led by charm rather than the intellect in our decisions.

He also explains how our intellect interferes with our innate connection with the laws of Nature.

And he tackles two questions on Cosmic Consciousness. One from a listener seeking clarity on his own experiences of Cosmic Consciousness, and one from another listener about the relationship between stress and Cosmic Consciousness.

Something for everyone and, as always, something to inspire us to maintain our practice of Vedic Meditation.
