Core Concepts

Dharma to moksha — the six ideas every story assumes you know. 7 steps, about 35 minutes.

  1. Dharma: Start with the idea that drives every hero: your duty, your right way to live.
  2. Karma: Every choice ripples. Karma is the physics of action.
  3. Samsara: Those ripples carry across lifetimes — the wheel of birth and rebirth.
  4. Moksha: And the goal is to step off the wheel entirely. Not heaven — freedom.
  5. Brahman: What do you merge with? The reality behind everything: Brahman.
  6. The Four Yugas: Finally, zoom out: time itself moves in great circles, and we are in the darkest arc.
  7. The Upanishads: Want to go deeper? These ideas were first explored in the Upanishads.
