One of the biggest struggles people have is in coming to terms with apparent problems, whether they be current problems, or problems from the past.
While we might be able to grasp the concept of evolution or progressive change intellectually, when the experience becomes uncomfortable it becomes more difficult to rationalize.
In this episode, Thom answers questions from listeners seeking resolution to problems that seem too big to be solved, or that have gone beyond the time when something can be done.
It’s a reminder that perspective isn’t just an intellectual process, and that it’s a byproduct of consciousness.
