About this listen

The ability to know what the future might hold can seem pretty compelling, but what if it has a downside?

In this episode, in answer to a question from a guest on a retreat, Thom explores why wisdom is not always an abundance of knowledge, but the ability to move between broad context and intimate human experience.

Through the lenses of dharma, avidya, and pattern recognition, Thom reveals how not knowing can be part of what makes life meaningful, relational, and full of discovery. Listen in to hear the Vedic perspective on why surprise in life is not a flaw, but part of its intelligence.
