We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment In our previous episode, Podcast 123, we came across an interesting story that opened the door to a larger conversation about synchronicity and the different ways our knowledge can sometimes be informed. Synchronicity is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe a meaningful coincidence —two or more events that appear to be connected in a significant…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment This episode builds on the work we have been doing in the Wisdom Project, particularly our Knowledge Construct—the idea that wisdom depends not only on the information we receive, but also on the reliability of that information and the quality of its source. In this discussion a speaker offers a practical way to use the space between stimulus and…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment After several episodes exploring some fairly deep topics, we decided to take a little detour and simply have some fun. With the recent World Cup soccer matches capturing so much attention, Ron kicked off a conversation about the Belgium–United States match and where both the U.S. and Canadian teams fit into the tournament. As three friends around…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment In our previous episode, Podcast 123, we explored how information becomes knowledge and how knowledge contributes to wisdom. What began with Ron sharing the story of Calli consulting both a traditional counsellor and a nontraditional psychic quickly became something none of us expected. As often happens around our Kitchen Table, the conversation…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment Synchronicity is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe a meaningful coincidence —an event where two or more things seem connected in a way that feels significant, even though there is no obvious cause-and-effect relationship between them. Non- Traditional Sources informing Knowledge in the service of Wisdom In our previous episode, Podcast 122, we…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment One of the key insights emerging from the Wisdom Project is that wisdom is not the same as accumulating information . When people think of a wise person, they often imagine someone who knows a great deal, and knowledge is certainly part of wisdom. But our exploration suggests that knowledge is only one component , and it is always incomplete. We…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment Today’s conversation is a tender one. Ron is going to generously share his experience of losing his 94-year-old mother-in-law. Loss like that carries real grief. Real weight. Real suffering. What stands out in this story isn’t an attempt to avoid the pain — it’s the way Ron gently creates space inside it. A pause between the shock of loss and the…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment On February 22, while we were in Mexico at our place in La Penita my son-in-law Josh and I were having breakfast at a local restaurant when social media began reporting violence in our region following the killing of a major cartel leader in Jalisco. In a matter of minutes, uncertainty entered the room. The headlines were dramatic. The proximity…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment In today’s episode, we introduce what we’re calling the experience slider . Every experience is a stimulus. From there, our response tends to slide in one of two directions — toward cognitive reaction (thinking, analyzing, interpreting) or toward emotional reaction (feeling, sensing, reacting from the heart or gut). Neither side is wrong, but where…
We’d love to hear from you please leave a comment In this episode, we’re taking a pause—a moment to check in, reflect, and go a little deeper into the questions that have surfaced during our exploration of uncertainty, anxiety, and suffering in Wisdom Study 2.0. But this time, the spotlight gently shifts to the circular nature of wisdom itself . Dave brings forward a few powerful questions about…
