Ask Thom Anything: Ego, Reincarnation, and Tough Love

Is the problem ego, or our misunderstanding of it? In this Ask Me Anything episode, Thom responds to three big questions: how to balance eliminating the ego with having a healthy self esteem, whether consciousness can move backward through time, and how compassion differs from enabling.

Along the way, he connects self-esteem, spiritual evolution, past lives, and compassionate boundaries to the regular practice of Vedic Meditation.

Listen to or watch this episode for a clear Vedic perspective on identity, evolution, and what it really means to love wisely.
