FMC00.635 shows a cartoon by Gavin Aung Than (zenpencils.com) to convey the essence of character transformation and moral ideals guided by one's inner strength and conscience.

The 'feeding' of the inner wolves is our free choice of what we take in as 'cosmic breathing', meaning not just in-breathing as intake of air but also food, information and multimedia impulses (to what do we dedicate our time? what do we take in?) , as well as the out-breathing as in our speaking and actions.

This relates to what Rudolf Steiner calls the middle path of the Christ as selflessness and spiritual love between various opposing Luciferic, Ahrimanic and Soratic counterforces, and what Franz Bardon calls elemental balance in the system of self-initiation 'Initiation into Hermetics' (IIH) and the initiation exercises in the first steps of elemental balance - character transformation. Or, from another angle, by Lao Tzu: "Watch your thoughts, they become your words ... Watch your words, they become your actions ... Watch your actions, they become your habits ... Watch your habits, they become your character ... Watch your character, it becomes your destiny".
