Understanding the Laws of Nature

The laws of nature are defined as recognizable patterns of cause and effect that illustrate a movement from less sophisticated to more sophisticated states. This concept of sophistication refers to the integrated complexity that functions effectively, like a wristwatch, which is a sophisticated device capable of accurately measuring time with many moving parts. The discussion emphasizes that these laws are not static and can change over time, as evidenced by the evolving scientific understanding from figures like Galileo to Einstein. Rather than relying on outdated texts, individuals should seek to understand these laws as they are affected by context, indicating that their application can vary based on circumstances.

Most of us think of laws of Nature as being those laws that determine how the environment behaves on a physical level. The Vedic worldview expands the scope of these laws to include consciousness itself, and its constantly-evolving intentions.

This effectively makes Nature a conscious entity, hence why you’ll often find us spelling it with a capital N.

In this episode Thom gives us a masterclass on how to live in alignment with the laws of Nature, taking into consideration not just the variability of the physical laws of nature, with a small n, but also the ever-changing intentions of Nature, with a big N.

It’s an approach that guarantees to reduce, and ultimately eliminate suffering from our lives.
