What Is Karma?

Show Notes

What is Karma?  Despite popular belief, it’s neither punishment nor reward, neither good nor bad.  It’s simply nature’s way of steering us back onto a more evolutionary path.

In this short episode, Thom explains the true meaning of karma, and gives us a short introduction to kriya, evolutionary action.

He tells us how we can think of karma, and karmic behavior, without lacing it with judgement that, ironically, ‘binds’ us even more.

And as you would expect, he shows us how to align our consciousness with kriya rather than karma.
