  • Wonderful podcast and teachings

    I’ve been listening to Thoms’ podcast for 6 years now and I’ve found his words tremendously beneficial - both as an anchor and as a reminder on how to reorient myself when needed. His guidance is second to none and I find new and deeper meaning in his words with every listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Know When to Persist or Let Go
Q: I'm wondering why desire and charm are critical in the decision-making process as we are navigating field of fulfillment, capital F?
Knoles says meditation refreshes a person's dharma, or current role in the evolution of things. Charm is a feeling that can signal where one's capabilities may be most usefully applied, and he advises acting on it while it remains and letting go when it disappears.
How to Know When to Persist or Let Go
Q: If someone is already a meditator, but they still find themselves in a state of bewilderment, they haven't yet reached that state where they are feeling that permanent fulfillment. How do they navigate that cusp, particularly when some of those desires might be seen as essential needs rather than nice to have?
Knoles says people often mistake manufactured preferences for essential needs. He recommends building internalized certainty through meditation: confidence in one's own energy, intelligence, and creativity, rather than expecting the external world to remain certain or meet a fixed set of assumptions.
Vedic Meditation in Prison: Joh Jarvis and The Light Inside. Part 2
Q: What can people do to get involved and support The Light Inside?
Jarvis asks listeners to visit the organization's website, sign up for its newsletter, share its stories, help with social media, and donate to support its prison programs and travel costs.
Vedic Meditation in Prison: Joh Jarvis and The Light Inside. Part 2
Q: How did all that happen?
Jarvis says Knoles's stories inspired her to bring meditation to people who might not otherwise have access. After moving to New York, she persistently contacted the Department of Correction and eventually began teaching at Brooklyn jail and Rikers Island.
Ask Thom Anything: Ego, Reincarnation, and Tough Love
Q: How do we balance tough love with compassion?
Tough love should be defined as discipline that refuses enabling harmful behavior and aims for the long-term good; brutality is not tough love. Compassion arises when one has a non-enabling stance and supports sustainable, healthy choices, recognizing that true kindness requires boundaries.
