The Wait What If Podcast

Paul Adams is a friend and neighbor who is ever willing to share his philosophical views on life. He came over tonight to help my understanding of what it means to be a good person. I have trouble reconciling the fact that so many people call themselves "good" yet we waste so many resources that could be utilized to ease the suffering of other humans. We don't exactly see eye to eye on every issue but I appreciate his openness and careful contemplation with every idea placed before him. 

From Paul Adam's Website www.inchristus.com:

After retiring from the United States Air Force Academy Band (guitar) and successfully completing graduate studies in philosophy of religion at Denver Seminary, Paul D. Adams has worked in the IT industry, taught full-time as adjunct professor of philosophy and religious studies, developed and conducted multiple small group leadership seminars, and currently serves as Director of Information Technology on the Board of Directors with ConservationVIP® — a non-profit dedicated to the sustainability of some of the world’s greatest landscapes and cultural sites.

He holds memberships in the Society of Christian Philosophers, Evangelical Philosophical Society, and the Evangelical Theological Society. Paul and his wife Patty are active members of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Ms. Victoria Carella spent some time with me discussing an ancient technique of healing through Shamanism. As a practitioner of modern medicine, I am fascinated by ancient methods of healing and learning about their role in the modern world. Victoria explains how she uses cannabis as a medicinal "teacher" and the controversy over its federal legality. As such, I have to put a disclaimer on this episode: I do not condone or recommend that individuals self-medicate with plants for medical conditions. These plant medicines can be very powerful and interact with a host of prescribed medications today and these interactions could be fatal!

From Victoria A. Carella's AMAZON PAGE: She is a Mystic, Master Shaman, master of human consciousness, Master Medicine Woman, transformational teacher, visionary, artist, author, poet, and gardener. Her working in mysticism, consciousness and shamanism took her from the American Southwest to the jungles of Mexico, to Europe, to Mongolia, to Egypt, Greece and Tunisia, and to Peru and the Peruvian Amazon. Victoria apprenticed with a Maestro in the Peruvian Amazon in the eminent and legendary lineage of Don Julio Llerana Pinedo and Don Alberto Torres Davila. She focuses her work on authentic disciplines of shamanism. As a Master Shaman, she guides people into shamanic states of consciousness to connect to their true selves as she takes them on the journey of healing and transformation.

If there was the prototypical guest for the Wait What If Podcast, Zac Baker would fit the bill. To say he lives "a life less ordinary" would be an understatement. What brought Zac to the show was his involvement in an A&E reality show in which individuals voluntarily locked themselves up in jail to help better understand the system and hopefully fix any problems experienced first hand from an inmate's perspective. To me, this sounds like a nightmare! To Zac, it was a walk in the park. He discusses an innate, almost genetic draw towards service and leadership which has led him from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the Police academy. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs but Zac has a knack for overcoming adversity and turning everything into opportunity!

Zac discusses how this experience changed his life and how it set into motion the desire to reach out to fellow veterans who may have made poor decisions but can come back from the low points with a little guidance and camaraderie.
