Wednesdays with Wolf episodes

  • Our Character as Individuals, Leads Our Collective Destiny”
    In this episode, Wolf and I discuss the impact that we, as individuals, have on the world as a whole. As Wolf says, "we are blessed that wisdom exists." It's important to learn to tap into the wisdom. We all have our place in moving things forward as we are collectively a sum of the greater whole. Most of us, most of the time, are being creative in very humble ways. However, this is of the utmost importance. What we are doing in our own backyards, and in our own selves, is changing the world.
    Acausal = not governed or operating by the laws of cause and effect = that's when the magic happens.

  • Global Dynamics of Character Development
    In this episode Wolf and I discuss our ethical responsibility to the planet, and the climate of consciousness . Why do we regularly mistreat anything/anyone we don't understand? Cultivating compassion impacts both the planet and society. The balance outside (ecological and societal) is impacted by the balance inside ourselves. It's all iterations of the same thing. Join us and contemplate cultivating compassion for the earth and society!

  • Minutes of Gold: Contemplating the Psychology of Conflict Resolution
    In this episode Wolf and I discuss the psychology of conflict resolution as it pertains to the world today. "Otherism" is a constant swirling around us. How do we respond in a mature manner in order to move change forward? As Wolf says, "the control that needs to be exerted in this world is over ourselves". The role each of us plays when we govern ourselves will have collective influences. Can we conquer ourselves and our unconscious habits to be conflictual? Join us and contemplate!

  • Beyond the Tragedy of a World at Strife
    In this episode Wolf and I discuss, among other things, sage self cultivation. How do we know if we are metaphorically "on the right path"? We are warring with others because we have not won the war within ourselves. Is it our habit to emphasize our differences instead of our commonalities, and can we break that habit? The good news is that everything is subject to change - we can live to expand! Join us and contemplate.

  • Making News Without Making Noise: The Character of Constructive vs. Destructive Influences
    In this episode, Wolf and I discuss interactions and influences which can be constructive or destructive. As humans we are social animals who will always want to influence (or be influenced). However, are we choosing quality over quantity? Are we examining the character of these influences and influencers, and are we speaking with a judicious voice when we ourselves are the influencer? There is a lot to unpack with this episode, which is timely for the world we currently find ourselves living in. Join us and contemplate!

  • Contemplate and Grow Beyond Chaos
    In response to recent events in the United States, and the world, Wolf and I dig into human behavior in a chaotic milieu. We discuss how collective behaviors have been part of society and human development since the beginning of the human race. How are we influenced by group thinking? How does emotionality learn to interface with logicality? What are the imprints that keep us attracted to emotionally influenced experiences vs logically discerned orientations to deal with life? Are we stuck in primitive thinking? Join Wolf and I as we contemplate how we can grow beyond chaos as a human race.

  • Wisdom Through Compassion, for Managing Ourselves and Others
    In this episode, Wolf and I discuss cultivating the wisdom of compassion, forgiveness and sympathy.
    Do we accord that people's thinking can be as broken as someone who has a physical disease?
    Are we able to understand, or have sympathy, for people who are challenged with a spiritual disability?
    Do we become less human ourselves for hating people for what they are disabled to do?
    As Wolf Says "It's always the time to do better, but not all of us are at the point at which the capacity to do better is something we are on top of"
    A lot to ponder and contemplate, we hope you'll join us in doing just that.
