The American Pulse E22: Be Who You Are

E22: Be Who You Are with Special Guest Jim Rosemary

 

E22 Introduction

Whenever I talk to everyday Americans, like my guest today, I am reminder how Americans of all political stripes share so many common values. We all want safe, thriving communities to live and raise families in. Talk to anyone in your neighborhood and you’ll see this is true.

Yet, the mainstream media who represents the Globalist Agenda, simply will not recognize all of the common ground we share with Americans who vote differently than we do.

The more conversations I have, the more convinced I have become that, to truly unite Americans, more and more of us need to have the courage to have conversations with Americans across the political spectrum.

I would like to raise the bar on the American Pulse. My original intention was to have Democrats, Liberals, Centrists, and Conservatives on the show. But I have yet to be able to talk to a Democrat. I have only asked two but the response after looking at the show notes was no.

But I am going to renew my efforts. I don’t want to turn the Pulse into a debate forum. That is not my style. But to truly ask liberals and others on to better understand their values would be outstanding I think. As American Pulse listeners please send us any ideas for this. Who do you know who is NOT a die-hard Republican that may be game to come on the show? They will be treated with the utmost respect and never belittled or embarrassed, I promise you.

Thank you listeners and now on to this good interview.

E22 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Jim is so insightful on how to unite Americans, isn’t he. Let’s all take a deep breath, step into our courage (which is an American trait btw) and go open ourselves to new people. Thank you listeners and we’ll see you next time on The American

Basecamp for Men E292: Creating a Personal Myth

E292: Creating a Personal Myth w Special Guest Patrick Christell

 

E292 Introduction

The topic of myth and narrative, story and mythic imagination is something that I have been fascinated by for decades. My life has been immersed in mythic imagination since I was a boy, really. Even my sports heroes and sports stories I gravitated to and followed as a child had mythic undertones, unbeknownst to me at the time.

And I believe we all long to live by myth. To have our lives have this sort of magical quality to them. I believe that deep down, we all want to live more courageously. Or to follow the path of the Light or the path of the Divine, the path of God, whatever that means to you. Or to really live by our highest spiritual knowing and our highest truth, are you following me?

In short, we were built for more than just work and a few laughs. We’ve just forgotten. A type of mythic amnesia has set in.

It seems the mass consciousness of the human race is looking for these threads right now, doesn’t it? Things seem to be teetering a bit, right? Nobody knows exactly what is going on or what is about to happen. It is times like these where myth is so valuable. By leaning into mythic possibilities, we open up new neuropathways that helps us set a new course in life. Both for ourselves and for our tribe.

Yet, so few reach this point. Why is that? Too many beautiful human Souls coast through life, resting on what has already happened, giving up their sovereignty and ability to set their own course. I believe if more of us were actively engaged in growing our mythic imaginations and living by a personal myth, you would see a lot more courageous people in the world. And God knows, the world NEEDS courageous people right now, doesn’t it?

My guest today is all about building a personal mythic narrative for oneself. I thoroughly enjoyed his company and this conversation. Enjoy.

Basecamp for Men E291: The Importance of Male Friendships

E291: The Importance of Male Friendships w Kim Eversen

 

E291 Introduction

There is something strange in our culture that tells its men (young and old) that you don‘t really need authentic, loving male friendships to live your best life. It is actually one of the most harmful beliefs that a man can internalize.

For far too long too many men have isolated and suffered, leading lives of quiet desperation when in fact, the deeper truth is that men long for authentic connections amongst the male tribe.

As many of you know, I have long been an advocate for men’s groups and soulful, deeper friendships amongst men. My bond with the male tribe is one of the most enduring gifts that I have ever been given. The names and faces have changed over the decades, but my love and respect and admiration for my male friends is a bedrock of my life.

It’s important that a man have a group where he can unpack life’s challenges and express his deeper truths. For these deeper truths, if left unexpressed, will eat away at a man, sapping his energy, leaving a cloud our pall over the man. Without healthy male friendships, a man will become a more repressed, shadowy version of himself.

Part of being free flowing in our joy and our feelings is being able to authentically express our inner life to other men. To talk about how things REALLY are with us. It is also important to hear from other men as another man may perfectly capture some shadowy truth about yourself that has been dormant for decades. I have seen this dozens, if not hundreds of times.

I don’t often get to connect with a younger man who is completely committed to championing male friendships. So much so that he has written two books about the topic and started an organization called Brothers to spread the word. Love it! Enjoy the interview.

KIM EVERSEN BIO

 My guest today is Kim Eversen. Kim is an author, a leader, and the founder of Brothers, an organization that champions the importance of male friendship. Here is my interview with Kim Eversen. Enjoy!

 

Basecamp for Men E290: Men and Authenticity

E290: Men and Authenticity

 

E290 Introduction

Man, I have been loving these conversations with men who are committed to the Hero’s Journey and the soulful conversations that are a natural extension of the initiatory path. Whenever I find myself in these circles and conversations, it is a bit like a homecoming.

As a man who has engaged in these topics many times in many different settings, I find the depth to be reassuring and supportive of my own choices moving forward. Small talk is fine for a bit but the Soul longs to hear what is REALLY happening and it is our duty as men to provide the road signs for the men who will follow in our footsteps. It is important to leave footprints along the faint trail for otherwise how will our sons and nephews and grandsons know where to find sturdy footing in an unsure world. Myth will continue to be our guiding light, if only we let it in and receive the messages.

For those that are attuned to the new frequency, it is our sacred duty (is it not) to do our best to hold the flame of Divine Truth or the light of the Christ or the Universal heartbeat in ourselves as a lighthouse for what is unfolding. I can think of no higher purpose than this.

My guest today is a new friend of mine and someone that I have really enjoyed getting to know. Enjoy the interview.

E290 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did with my friend John Owensby. These are the kinds of dialogue that all men need to be a part of…deeper conversations about Shadow and Light, the Soul’s Journey and how men can support and assist one another in the upcoming important chapters that we all face.

 

Basecamp for Men E289: Informing Humanity

E289: Informing Humanity w Special Guest Dr. Chris Shoemaker MD

 

E289 Introduction

I was texting back and forth with an old friend of mine. A woman who is a conservative and she recently married a wonderful man who happens to be a slightly left-leaning centrist. She exclaimed that he has been red-pilled. When I asked what and how? She explained to me that he still doesn‘t like Donald Trump but he agrees with all almost all of his policies. And then she said something that I am seeing more and more of. She said that he is really mad about the Covid vaccines. Hmm. Yes, this seems to be the great red-pill that is being processed right now. Or at least one of them.

Why is that? Well, we have a few years under our belt and the cascade of damning evidence and data from the vaccine makers themselves like Pfizer and Moderna is confirming everyone’s greatest fear. The shots were not what they claimed them to be. Far from it.

It seems that everyone knows people that are suffering under some terrible health condition or another following the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th Covid booster. And to further illustrate the point, the unvaccinated are clearly doing much better than the vaccinated. The data also shows that as well and in overwhelming numbers.

I am not doing these post-Covid episodes as a ha-ha-ha to anyone or to rub your noses in anything. I just want to put the nail in the coffin of any blind trust we might put in the future in the so-called “authorities” like the deeply corrupt and psychopathic doctor Anthony Fauci or Bill Gates or Big Pharma captured doctors or organizations with the WHO.

We all want informed consent. Meaning if you are going to do a clinical trial on all of us, show us how it has been tested and let all doctors weigh in on it, not just the doctors who are working for Big Pharma or Globalist health orgs with eugenicist agendas. Give us the truth, let us hear the authentic pros and cons, and we can all decide for ourselves and our families. Wink wink.

I really enjoyed today’s guest, a long-time medical doctor who was punished for speaking the truth. We’ll go over some staggering numbers from Pfizer’s own data and see how it all fits together for you. If the vast majority of us can come to a sort of agreement on what just happened, then God willing, we can avoid more terrible health choices for our kids and grandkids. I wish you all, no matter your vaccination status or political orientation, good vibrant health for your and your loved ones. God Bless you Basecampers.
