The Role of Beliefs in Dharma
Our beliefs play a fundamental role in how we engage in life. What we learn in our early years becomes our guide as to the actions that we choose to take or not take in our lives.For the most part these beliefs serve us well. They help us to live in harmony with our surroundings and our community, but are there points where we must set aside our beliefs for the higher good?Most of us find ourselves from time to time, much like Arjuna on the battlefield with Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, in situations where our “duty” is at odds with our beliefs.In this episode, Thom lays out a plan of action not too dissimilar from Krishna’s response to Arjuna, a plan that we can all put into practice easily on the battlefield of life.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Virtuous Behavior[03:30] Dynamic Nature of Ethical Principles[04:49] Awakening Consciousness Through Meditation[07:01] Living Dharma: Aligning with Intentionality[09:31] Reinterpreting Dharma: Beyond Roles and Professions[11:14] Journey of Self-Discovery: From Virtues to DharmaUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
