The Deep End

Our ability to form predictive models is unique to human beings. Our expectations in life, and from day to day, are being written by our experiences from the past and the
present. How can we live healthy and balanced lives as our expectations, and our ability to prepare for them, walks hand in hand with uncertainty? What a trip this life is!!

Gratitude is a uniquely human affair. Why is it so important for us to be thankful - individually and collectively? What are rhetorical benefits of gratitude and what gets in the way? I’m thankful for this podcast, my cohosts and our listeners. Be well… Wonder deep🙏🏾

We get serious about humor. Humor, Humility, Human… all have the same root: Humus, which means “of the Earth”. What is this thing called humor and why is it so important to human consciousness? Mary Anne Ruddis, Bob Hays and Redhawk take a jaunt through the nature of humor and how it can both lift up and offer healing to some of our darkest times… and that’s no joke.

What are the threads that are weaving this division among us? How can we talk about it? Is there any way to heal our division? Redhawk shares a song he wrote that deals with his own feelings about today’s wedge-full America that adds a modicum of hope to our national picture.

We look at the radical misinterpretations made about the Garden of Eden and offer another way of seeing this ancient story. We delight in our early ancestors attempt to understand how this self awareness came upon us and allowed us to become a different species. What a trip!! Blessings

Nature is reckless, wasteful, extravagant and excessive and yet she is also economical… as nothing, in the end, goes to waste. We celebrate our experience of this magnificent relationship with nature and the fact that we are not separate but another expression of that magnificence. Be well… Wonder deep…

From the forming of the first armies to feeling safe in you own home and skin, security has been central to our journey as human beings. Will we find true and lasting security as a result of our wars or as a result of a new context where our vulnerabilities are a source of a greater strength? Mary Anne Ruddis, Bob Hays and Redhawk jump into the deep end on this one. Blessings

Much of our inner work is centered around tracking our mental associations and seeing how we are connected to our past, our feelings and our thoughts. We are invited to engage our inner world as the fabric of our being and to learn to be honest with our mental associations. No thought lives alone but is part and parcel of a huge interdependent happening that is our soul, our mind.
If we do our inner work the big haunting monsters can become little shmoes that we can have into tea. Blessings

An essential process in all evolution and development is semi-permeability. In human terms this is called empathy. What is this opening that allows us to feel what another is feeling? Can empathy help save the human family? How is it that so many have different capacities with regard to empathy and what impedes the spread of an empathic community? Redhawk, Mary Anne and Bob get into it. Blessings.

What is the language that nature? Is it a binary language of yes/no, up/down, right/left or a quantum language of every direction at once? We explore the growing mystery that borders on magic of a quantum universe that weaves everything and every energy together as ONE. It seems we have come to the mystics imperative that all things are interconnected and we are ONE. Science is catching up… Blessings!
