177: Karma and the Politics of the Moment with Dr. Robert Svoboda

The Cosmic Business Podcast - A podcast by Paula Crossfield - Mondays

We are diving into the topic of karma and politics with my guest, Dr. Robert Svoboda. You’ve heard him on the podcast numerous times, as we have covered many fascinating topics with him in the past, taking advantage of learning from his wisdom and expertise. We are taking a big-picture view of this political moment in time, along with the karma of being involved in a political system and the dilemma of why or why not to vote. You’ll hear our personal thoughts on current political threads as if you’re a fly on the wall in our conversation. This episode is an overview of how to stay sane in a time when Rahu is on the scene, and we’ll explain what that means. The biggest takeaway from this conversation is that we are in a time of unpredictability and ungrounding energy, and our responsibility is to navigate this season with grace, skill, and overriding respect as helpful spiritual practitioners.
