Basecamp for Men E283: The Good, the True, and the Beautiful

E283: The Good, the True, and the Beautiful

 

E283 Introduction

Today is a bit of an odd little short-format Firestarter episode, under 10 minutes. With that Terrance McKenna audio clip and then a song at the end. I came across the idea for this mini-EP for this as I was on my run around the lake that I do. I had a playlist on and the song “Feels So Good” by Chuck Mangione, which was one of the popular songs of the day when I was a little kid. It made me think back to my childhood when this song would come on the FM radio in my Mom’s car.

A simple little jazz and trumpet song that conveyed its central theme…..Feels So Good. And I realized that this thread of joy and God and Divine Guidance and love and family is absolutely essential for our ascension and redemption. The Globalists, the Luciferians, call them what you will, can’t stand this about us. Our Divine Spark, the life-force and emotions that gives meaning to this whole mythic storyline.

It all got me thinking about something the ancient Greeks referred to as The Good, the True, and the Beautiful. This ancient Platonic ideal contains three qualities or principles that are transcendent. These principles transcend nationalities, transcend Democrat vs. Republican, woke vs. Patriot, Trump as King vs. Trump as Hitler. The Good the True and the Beautiful is a wonderful lens and mirror and a barometer to see and feel how we are doing at each stage.

And you can see the attack on all of this in the mainstream culture and the mainstream media. The education system is dumbing down the kids (which is not True or Good or Beautiful). Our once-proud cities look ravaged by crime and addiction and filth. Again, nothing True or Good or Beautiful going on down the street.

The media landscape is a vipers den of lies and deception. Again, not Good or True or Beautiful. So much so that you could, as a practice, completely invert EVERYTHING that the media says and have a more accurate portrait of what is going on.

And yet….and yet we still have laughter, we still have beautiful children being born and raised, we still have joy in one another. Even as we all see the absurdity of it all like Terrance McKennan said in the beginning.

If Terrance McKenna is correct and moving into a higher dimension is like a “fire in the madhouse” then the game becomes how do we hold onto the Good and the True and the Beautiful while inside the “fire in the madhouse”. That is what we are all attempting to do. No wonder people are freaking out about every little thing and bracing for God knows what.

It’s important for us to keep one another close in these times. Even if it is just 2 or 3 trusted friends and family members. Large numbers in your tribe does not matter. This is not a popularity contest. The fire in the madhouse moment has us reach only for those most important to us. To keep alive the Good, the True, and the Beautiful as we watch this insanity reveal itself to this beautiful planet and all of the confused, traumatized and loving humans who call this place home.

I was going to conclude with a classical musical piece but God was whispering about this song so this song it is. And remember Basecampers, you and I , we belong to the Light. We’ll see you next week.

 

 

Basecamp for Men E282: We the Parents

E282: We the Parents with Special Guest David Spring

 

E282 Introduction

Today’s episode is an interview I did on my other show The American Pulse. Since each show has its distinct listenership, I thought this interview and the subject matter was quite relevant for you here at Basecamp.

Sometimes you meet everyday heroes just going about your day. Such is the story of my guest today who came to speak to my LD meeting (Legislative District) last year to talk about the state of education and the transgender ideology that has exploded in our public schools here in WA. This combination of dropping test scores along with the meteoric rise of the transgender ideology and more and more mental illness has, from my vantage point, overrun our public schools.

Let’s be clear here before we proceed.. I am not against some poor child who is being encouraged to question his or her biological reality. My beef is with the adults who have created and foisted these terrible ideas upon unsuspecting children and their parents who (I would imagine) must watch thunderstruck as their beautiful son or daughter start to walk a treacherous path of drugs and hormone replacement and (possibly) life altering surgery. Who created this? We’re going to talk about that today.

My heart goes out to the trans community. Truly it does and I think this is true for most of the conservative, independent, and libertarian minded Americans. We see what is being done and just because we won’t celebrate all things transgender, does not mean we are against you. Quite the contrary. We fight on your behalf. So future parents feel supported by schools and structures around them. Not threatened if they don’t go along with every crazy idea and legislative action put forth by people who personally benefit from widespread adoption of the transgender cult. Enjoy the episode.

E17: We The Parents with Special Guest David Spring

 

E17 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. Sometimes you meet everyday heroes just going about your day. Such is the story of my guest today who came to speak to my LD last year to talk about the state of education and the transgender ideology that has exploded in our public schools here in WA. This combination of dropping test scores along with the meteoric rise of the transgender ideology and more and more mental illness has, from my vantage point, overrun our public schools.

Let’s be clear here before we proceed.. I am not against some poor child who is being encouraged to question his or her very biological reality. My beef is with the adults who have created and foisted these terrible ideas upon unsuspecting children and their parents who (I would imagine) must watch thunderstruck as their beautiful son or daughter start to walk a treacherous path of drugs and hormone replacement and (possibly) life altering surgery. Who created this? We’re going to talk about that today.

My heart goes out to the trans community. Truly it does and I think this is true for most of the conservative, independent, and libertarian minded Americans. We see what is being done and just because we won’t celebrate all things transgender, does not mean we are against you. Quite the contrary. We fight on your behalf. So future parents feel supported by schools and structures around them. Not threatened if they don’t go along with every crazy idea and legislative action put forth by people who benefit from widespread adoption of the transgender cult.

Ask yourself this: Do you really think Bill Gates and Bob Ferguson and Chris Reykdal care about the health and education of your children? If they did, why do their actions say otherwise? Don’t get mad, I’m just asking a question.

I had the great pleasure to meet my guest and we talked all about the state of education here in WA state. This is a bit longer of an episode but I think it is more than worth the listen. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E281: The People’s Revival with James Dixon

E281: The People’s Revival w Special Guest James Dixon

 

E281 Introduction

We have entered a new chapter in our collective Hero’s Journey and everyone can feel it. Humanity, the underdog in this story, has picked itself off the globalist mat and is finding its legs and its strength. I don’t know about you but I am here for it. So is my guest today.

Humanity is at its best when we are inspired, unified, and in purpose. Resolved as my guest so eloquently states. I believe we are seeing a quickening in our tribe. God has activated us in this timeline for this very reason. To ensure the safe arrival of our people at the new shores and when I say our people, I mean all the good people of this great nation and the world. People, if just given a fair chance, will gravitate to the higher realms. The unifying, inspiring themes that elevate our ourselves and our surroundings.

The irony is not lost on me that the enemy of WE THE PEOPLE has now launched a NO KINGS campaign in the liberal cities across the nation. This is well financed, as usual, by George Soros and other Globalists who seek to create chaos and fear and division in our most liberal cities. They are, after all, experts at color revolutions as they have shown their true colors time and time again.

Yet, the wisdom and clarity of a proper King’s Vision where there is blessing and humility and inspiration is what people are hungry for. People want to be led by what is true and beautiful and uplifting. Let’s go talk to my guest today. A man who embodies so much of what we express here on Basecamp, particularly in the area of King energy.

Oh, and the interview was cut just a bit short. James had a family emergency and had to run before we wrapped up. We captured what I feel is one of the best episodes of the season. And thanksfully, everything is ok with James and his family, just to let you know. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E280: The Circle of Men

E280: The Circle of Men with Special Guest Jimmie Allen

 

E280 Introduction

As many of you know, this show was originally conceived years ago as a show to assist men in their personal development and living in a more authentic and courageous fashion. Front and center to my philosophy is the central and essential role of men’s groups and retreats to awaken and accelerate the Hero on his most authentic path.

The benefits of this approach for men has yielded some of the best men that I know and I know a lot of men. The truth is that men (and women) admire men who live with a lot of heart. For to live with a lot of heart means you need to peel back some of the shadow and trauma and armor that has kept the heart from leading the man.

I have seen this so many times in men’s retreats and circles. It can seem daunting at first to the uninitiated. The good news? You aren’t in it alone. In fact, you absolutely need other men in your corner, fighting for you and modeling truth and authenticity where there was previously denial and repression.

The whole thing takes on a sort of mythical theme as we witness one another build skills that will take us to new heights as men. Some of these skills like greater emotional intelligence and clarity of purpose, act almost like super-powers for men as you do the work.

You find that your ego attachment starts to loosen as you let go of patterns that no longer serve your higher purpose, cooperation with the male tribe begins to replace reflexive competitiveness, you start to stand a little taller as you realize that all of us men share common themes and common wounds.

Let’s go talk about all this and more with my friend Jimmie, who is putting together a great retreat and I have the honor to co-create and co-lead. Enjoy the episode.

Jimmie Allen Bio

My guest today is Jimmie Allen. Jimmie is a friend, a father, a leader in men’s personal development, and a fitness and personal trainer. Here is my interview with Jimmie Allen. 

E280 Final Thoughts
