Basecamp for Men E312: Messages from the One Mind

E312: Messages from the One Mind with Special Guest Richard Barrett

 

E312 Introduction

One of the dynamics I have commented on over the years and had many conversations about is the evolution of how we receive information from the more subtle realms. From the One Mind, as my guests calls it. I have notice in myself and in many, many of my closest friends an acceleration and confidence in how they access the Divine, how they receive messages from God, is another way of saying it.

And when I was younger, I was always drawn to the mystics and the unique individuals who seemed to so easily transmit Divine messages. And then, lo and behold, everyone around me (present company included) started to pray, meditate, contemplate, and yes, channel insights and wisdom that seem to come from a different dimension. It seems it is happening to all of us.

As if God and the Divine are asking us to collectively and individually tune into the radio frequency that is God (however each one of us conceives that). God, Goddess, the Universe, the One Mind, Christ Consciousness and on and on. The thousand names that humans use for the Godhead.

The old maps no longer are guiding us. We are in a new chapter for all of us and the trail is faint. Good thing there is a flowering higher consciousness with direct access to God that seems to be organically growing in our people (our people being all of humanity). This may end up being one of our major themes for season #8. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E311: Basecamp Classic

E311: Basecamp Classic with Special Guest Benjamin Seaman

 

E311 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Well, we are in between interviews and Firestarters this week. So I dusted off a re-listen of a Basecamp Classic. And this one is truly a Classic from all the way back in Season #1.

I thought since I was talking a bit about depression and how to move through it last week, you might appreciate this deeper dive from Season one with my old friend Benjamin Seaman, who happens to be a very successful NYC psychotherapist with some great insights around this topic.

Next week we are back to an interview and I have a number of good guests coming on along with a couple of good Firestarters that I am working on.

For now, enjoy this Basecamp Classic with Ben Seaman.

Basecamp for Men E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

 

E310 Introduction

Today’s episode is another Firestarter (short format) episode aptly titled The Mish Mosh EP. I have a couple of memes, a few tidbits from the narrative battlefield and then some personal thoughts on depression and the dark knight of the Soul, something that I am observing in the culture as well as something I have personal experience with.

But first a couple of memes! Love me some meme warfare. Tee hee hee.

From activist Jaime Michell who says: “Liberals need to calm down. President Trump is not going to harm gay people, bring back slavery, or strip women of their rights….He’s not a Muslim.”

From Stacy is Right:

“The hashtag rotates, the outrage gets recycled but it’s always the same sanctimonious clowns, the same hysterical tantrums, the same useless street theater. A new flavor of moral superiority every couple of years, same cast of perpetual protesters, same zero results.

Fuck ICE is just the latest costume swap for “Free Palestine”, “Defund the Police”,”Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, “Believe All Women”, “I’m With Her”, “No Blood for Oil”, “I Can’t Breathe” and “We Are the 99%”

It‘s not activism. It’s a lazy, taxpayer-and-foundation-funded lifestyle subscription for spoiled narcissists who want the cheap dopamine hit of feeling holier-than-thou without ever having to build a damn thing, solve a real problem, take responsibility, lead anyone, or produce one measurable win in the real world.”

Oh, and here’s one for you all of the misguided people who can’t stop virtue signaling about Israel. It is from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, recorded at Finks in Jerusalem, Benji says “America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up and sell it off piece by piece, until there is nothing left but the world’s largest welfare state that we will create and control. This is what we do to countries we hate. We destroy them, very slowly.”

Don‘t shoot me, I‘m just the messenger. What a charmer he is! Let‘s get to this episode.

Basecamp for Men E309: A New Chapter Part 2

E309: A New Chapter Part 2

 

E309 Introduction

Today is a Firestarter, short-format episode as a follow up to the great interview that Mark Carter gave us last week. I wanted to address some of the things that Mark and I discussed. This will just be a short little nugget but hopefully you all find value in it.

And this episode is being written and recorded at my new studio in Lake Chelan. New studio is just a code for my house. I gotta tell you, after all my years in living in big cities like Seattle and New York, it feels just amazing to settle into a small town in the middle of nowhere. It’s slower and clean and beautiful and just what the doctor order for me. I feel really good here.

With that being said, I have noticed something about the left and it keeps coming up in the conversations that I am a part of…

The American Pulse E25: We are Blessed

E25: We are Blessed with Special Guest Mike Oster

 

E25 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into the American Pulse. We are coming off a long sabbatical (thank you for you patience as we figure all this out) and are back at the microphone with a slightly different format and a different sort of rhythm.

We will be doing episodes once a month for 2026 with a caveat. If anyone on my team at KCGOP feels we need to get on the mic and talk to WE THE PEOPLE, then that is exactly what we will do. If these times have taught us anything, it’s the necessity to be grounded in principle yet flexible in our minds and execution. What is God asking of us right now? is, I believe, a great question for both myself and the collective.

And we will have some of the same elements in that I will write the opening piece and conduct the interviews with our esteemed guests. However, we have added something new in that our intrepid, inspiring leader KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will do the final piece to bring it together but also to offer blessings and grace to WE THE PEOPLE, something that is a clear gift of hers and evident to all who have watched her lead.

I am excited for The American Pulse to be a clear signal amongst the noise and choppy waters we are certain to face in 2026. I continue to feel blessed and honored to walk this path with all of you. Before we get to our EXCELLENT guest today (I really loved speaking with this man), our conversation brought two quotes to mind that I thought were relevant for today’s episode.

The first in my Scottish theologian Ian Maclaran who said:

“Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

And the other is by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes who said:

“Do not lose heart, we were made for these times.” 

It’s sure good to be back, you Patriots. Now a word from our sponsor and on to our interview. Enjoy.
