Summary
Have we met before? Is it possible to be over apologetic? And if Cosmic Consciousness is so special, then what's the function of God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness? In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom responds to guest questions on when an apology is appropriate, how Cosmic Consciousness differs from God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness, and whether past-life connections continue into this life. He explores responsibility without sorrow, the refinement of perception through higher states of consciousness, and the braided nature of lifetimes. Listen or watch to understand the grounded Vedic perspective on relationship, enlightenment, and continuity across lives. Episode Highlights [00:45] Q - How should we apologize?
