Basecamp for Men E176: Unified in Our Humanity

E176: Unified in Our Humanity with Special Guest Nadine Ness

 

E176 Introduction

You all are aware by now how much the myth of the Hero‘s Journey has impacted my life and my worldview. I have taken this meta-narrative into my heart and have lived FROM this story as much as I am able to. I didn’t set out to be particularly heroic. I was not trying to prove myself, per se.

No. It was a selection process. As in the myth selected me after I had prepared myself to be more principled and courageous. Maybe you can see the same preparation for yourself. The Hero’s Journey loves characters that have grit and stand in principles. It makes the story more interesting, doesn‘t it? As humans, we want to see other principled humans battling ancient demons on behalf of the tribe.

There is part of us that enjoys witnessing these battles. Even if we don’t agree with the hero or character in the myth. And I suspect that for the ones who stand witness to things like courage or principles like freedom or truth, these are the ones that will soon stand alongside the ones that are already in this battle.

This is how myth works, in my humble opinion. We are all just now arriving at the destination, are you following me? Victory is on our side. And by “our side” I mean humanity as a whole.

My guest today walks this talk. Both as a Hero in the myth and an everyday mother who speaks from principles and from truth. Let’s go sit around the fire with her.

Nadine Ness Bio-

My guest today is the Nadine Ness. Nadine is the founder and President of the non-profit organization Unified Grassroots. She is also a wife, mother of four and a former Canadian police officer with an interesting background. Here is my interview with Nadine Ness.

E176 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Nadine Ness. She opened my eyes to how I might be closing myself off and how sometimes I have pre-conceived notions that keep the division alive and well. Learning about your blind spots is part of what keeps The Hero’s Journey moving into new chapters! Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E175: Taxes…with Special Guest Dr. Sherry Peel Jackson

E175 Taxes… with Special Guest Dr. Sherry Peel Jackson

 

E175 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all going well. Let’s see, what has been going down? The banks! That’s who. Will our money be safe in our banks? Most people still think so but you hear a lot more rumblings these days, don’t you?

Last weekend over 1 million people set up new Bitcoin wallet addresses. Think about that! That trend is unlikely to change anytime soon. People are looking for a safe haven for their assets and Bitcoin is emerging as the new gold standard with its absolute scarcity and true decentralization.

Something has been circling around my awareness like a hawk overhead. That there is something in the way that the Globalists have enslaved us that is hidden in plain sight. It’s in the legal system.

Have you ever wondered WHY Washington DC is not part of America? Why does it have separate laws and separate jurisdiction? Why do the court systems operate under Maritime law? What are the implications of that? Why does the Federal Reserve Bank, a private corporation hold so much power and sway over our public officials and public life? Why is the IRS allowed to collect money UNLAWFULLY on behalf of a private corporation? Do you see the absurdity of this?

Today is the first part of a deeper dive over the course of Season Five into how to live as a free, sovereign human being despite being born into a legal structure that is meant to enslave and to keep you in the dark as to Natural Law or God’s Law.

Remember that episode I did with Paul Remington Jones or as he is know as Paul Unslaved? That was way back in E87 titled Standing in Strength. Well, it seems that we are circling back around this issue:  what sorts of structures our enemy has created and hoped that we wouldn’t discover?  Yet we are figuring it out and talking amongst ourselves.

Let’s go sit around the fire with Dr. Sherry Peel Jackson, a former IRS agent.

Sherry Peel Jackson Bio- 

My guest today Dr. Sherry Peel Jackson. Dr. Jackson is a Christian author and speaker. She currently teaches entrepreneurship, debt-free living, audit and asset protection, and survival in the new economy. She is a long-time accountant and former IRS agent who has an interesting story to share with us. Here is my interview with Sherry Peel Jackson.

E175 Final Thoughts-

While I was listening to this episode, I realized a few things. One, this is likely to be one episode in a series I will do on individual Sovereignty. I have done a number on Sovereignty but I feel like we are getting down to the essence of it. What it is that holds the whole corrupt system in place.

And I also realized from this new book that I am reading about the United States incorporated that there is a big difference between what is LEGAL and what is LAWFUL.

Legal refers to maritime law and corporations large and small and that even includes you and I with our so-called “birth certificates”. Lawful is God’s law or Natural Law. Big difference. We will be unpacking this as I find the right guests. Something big is brewing in this area for Americans. We’re going to figure out what all of this is trying to teach us.

Thank you for your patience Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E174: Truth and the Spine of a Warrior

E174: Truth and the Spine of a Warrior

with Special Guest Joel Rafidi

 

E174 Introduction

I’d like to start this episode with a couple of quotes. The first is from Herbert Hildebrandt who says “In a world of propaganda, the truth is always a conspiracy.”

And one from an aikido master who says “In order to seek the Truth, you need the spine of a warrior.” Aho

What a time to be alive, isn’t it? We are seeing Truth rumbling through the tribe and making a mockery of the MSM narrative at every turn. It seems as soon as the Globalists put something out, here are 1001 badasses from the Truther movement calling bullshit and setting the record straight. It’s a beautiful thing!

Last week, we had a number of banks fold and then needed to be bailed out by taxpayers. Those will not be the last, mark my words. The Fed’s solution? Print more money of course! Which futher deteriorates the dollar. Bitcoin, the peoples solution, has officially started its next 3 year bull run. Did you get some for yourself and your family?

Being in conversation people who value truth has taught me a lot. Once you get a taste of Truth, there is no substitute. Just like with personal freedom. There really isn’t a second best, as they say.

What values are you holding and expressing on YOUR Hero’s Journey? And they don’t have to be the same as mine. That is the beautiful part of this. You do you and that works for the whole tribe. I find that standing in a principle like Truth or Freedom simplifies things. You aren’t second guessing yourself at every turn. You know what you are here for. It’s a good way to live as my guest today exemplifies as well.

And there are people who say, “oh you are a truther huh, but you were wrong about x or y.” Being aligned with Truth doesn’t mean you are right about every little thing. It doesn’t work that way. No, being aligned with Truth has more transcendent qualities. It means your speaking resonates with the heart and whatever God or Spirit or the Divine is asking you to express to the tribe. You following me?

I honor all of you no matter where you are at. Keep humble, keep open, stay in the flow, and trust that God or the Divine is guiding you along your path. We got this.

My guest today is Joel Rafidi. Joel is a truth seeker, a father and husband, a hip hop artist and a coach who guides truth seekers to inner and outer freedom through his programs. He is also the host of the excellent podcast Here for the Truth. Here is my interview with Joel Rafidi.

Basecamp for Men E173: Conversations with Walkaways

E173: Conversations with Walkaways with Special Guest

Keri Smith

 

E173 Introduction

 

As promised, we continue with our series of episodes about the Walkaways or those who have dared to leave the left, or leave the church of the woke. I like how we are unfolding this season. Sometimes we are diving into a Walkaway episode, sometimes its Bitcoin, sometimes it’s about how the spiritual war is unfolding and what WE THE PEOPLE need to be aware of. Hopefully it all ties together for you.

I do feel this show is in God’s hands. There is a synchronicity and grace in how the guests arrive and even what I feel inspired to share or dialogue with you about. Hopefully, you will feel that the show is giving you some insights and resources that you are not hearing elsewhere or maybe its reinforcing something in you. An alignment with truth perhaps.

Today’s conversation is one of my recent favorites. Keri Smith and I, (Keri is the creator of Deprogrammed), share our Walkaway stories. Both of us long-time liberals. Each of us using our innate wisdom and discernment to find the road less-travelled and then using podcasts to call back to those that may need to also find the road back to sanity, back to truth. Enjoy today’s episode.

Keri Smith Bio

My guest today is Keri Smith. Keri is a thought-leader, a walkaway from the woke ideology, and the creator and host of the podcast and You Tube channel Deprogrammed. Here is my interview with Keri Smith.

E173 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Keri Smith as much as I did. Her and I are in alignment on so many things, it’s fun to go back and forth. It resonated with me when she said that wokeism is an authoritarian ideology. You must comply or else.

And I love how she handles the pronoun thing for transgendered individuals. It’s the first time I have heard such a humanist distinction and I like it. I am going to adopt it.

To find Keri and her work, go to her You Tube channel Deprogrammed for all sorts of excellent content. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

with Special Guest Dr. Bob Beare

 

E172 Introduction

I speak a lot about our Hero’s Journey, both our individual and our collective. Each chapter requiring a slightly different version of yourself. Each man and woman and child will have their own version of this and all will help elevate the collective. Isn’t that fantastic news? Each and every person has the opportunity to embrace their courage, face their fears and their demons, and contribute to the healing and redemption of the Human Soul, the Human Spirit. This Hero’s Journey will bring you many gifts: dignity, worth, unconditional love, the development of grit and strength, and the expression of courage, which always inspires.

I have had many initiations as many of you know. So have you, whether you acknowledge them as such or not. Getting married and moving far away from friends and family was an initiation. Doing the New Warrior training was obviously an initiation. Becoming a father was an initiation. But perhaps my greatest initiation was taking on my sobriety from alcohol.

The reason I am bringing this up is that this episode airs on March 7th. And March 8th, Wednesday, will be my anniversary, marking my 10th year of sobriety. So many blessings happened after this initiation, after I finally committed to myself. It was like God started to bestow these incredible gifts to me. My marriage got a lot stronger, my health and perspective improved, I wrote a book and that led to me having this podcast with 172 episodes. I seriously doubt any of these things would have taken place without my stepping through that dark tunnel and into the light of clear seeing. Anyone can do it. The alcohol and drugs would have you think that there is no way you can live without them. After all, who would you be? My answer, a more courageous slightly new version of yourself.

I want to honor each and every one of you. I have been blessed with an incredible group of friends over my lifetime. Many who are addicts and alcoholics. I even know many who have taken the same initiation that I have taken. Gratefully walking the sober path.

I was approaching March 8th and wondering who I should have on the show. As I was looking over my guest list, I saw Dr. Bob Beare’s name and that was it. Bob knows more about addiction that just about anyone I know, both as a recovering addict and a therapist and addiction counselor and director of a top notch treatment center in Texas.

Let’s go sit around the fire with our respected friend and mentor Dr. Bob Beare.

Bob Beare Bio-

My guest today is author Dr. Bob Beare. Bob has been a leader in the mental health and addiction field for over 20 years. He is the Senior Clinical Consultant and former Clinical Director of The Last Resort Treatment Center for Men.

Dr Bob Beare is the CEO of Deep Waters Recovery Programs – deepwatersrecovery.com . Bob is the author of a new book, which we‘ll talk a bit about today, titled “Stop Doing Shit You Don‘t Want to Do.” Here is my interview with Dr. Bob Beare.

Final Thoughts

If you are someone who is looking for a safe program to step into your new sobriety as a Hero’s Journey, I can think of no better guide that Bob. To find out about his Deep Waters Recovery Program and how it can launch and support you in your healing, go to www.deepwatersrecovery.com

Thank you so much Basecampers, good luck on your Hero’s Journey, and we‘ll see you around the fire next week.
