Basecamp for Men E320: The Game of Trust

E320: The Game of Trust with Special Guest Dr. Tess Lawrie

 

E320 Introduction

I love chatting with scientists who also are in touch with their inner mystic and can process information a number of ways. Or another way of saying that is that I love speaking with intuitives and mystics who can also use logic and rationality. And today’s guest is just that.

A highly respected medical doctor with over 80 peer-reviewed publications, my guest fluidly speaks about topics as far-ranging as Covid and Ivermectin, the role of the ancient wisdom book the I-Ching in giving you perspectives with more depth, and even the difficulties of losing friends (and gaining new ones) following the divisive impact that Covid had on all of us.

Before we get to our wonderful guest and the interview, I thought I would share a couple of tidbits.

The first comes from the FDA, who CNN reports will now put a “black box” warning on Covid vaccines. The black box is the most serious type of warning, which highlights major health risks and serious side effects.

Better late than never, I suppose.

And one that I just love from the book The Holographic Universe. The author says:

“And that is why the beings of Light tell us again and again that the purpose of life is to learn. We are indeed on a shaman’s journey, mere children struggling to become technicians of the sacred. We are learning to deal the plasticity that is part and parcel of a universe in which mind and reality are a continuum, and in this journey one lesson stands about all others. As long as the formlessness and breathtaking freedom of the beyond remain frightening to us, we will continue to dream a hologram for ourselves that is comfortably solid and well defined.We are, as the aborigines say, just learning how to survive infinity.”

Love that little nugget and now, on to our sponsor and our guest. Enjoy the interview.

E320 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that interview as much as I did. What a wonderful and interesting woman. After our recording, we talked about doing another episode where we ask big questions and throw the I-Ching and see what emerges. We have never done anything quite like that on our show and I think it sounds really interesting. Thank you Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E319: Claiming Our Sovereignty

E319: Claiming Our Sovereignty with Special Guest Terry Hodges

 

E319 Introduction

Today’s episode is one I have been wanting to do for a couple of years now. A follow-up to E186: Intro to Natural Law. That episode was a solo show and was my attempt to make sense of a whole slew of important topics: Natural Law, the difference between lawful and legal, the difference between the ALL CAPS foreign-owned corporate USA headquartered DC and the Constitutional Republic of We The People.

We talked about law jurisdictions and made distinctions between Common Law (law or the land) and Maritime/Admirality/Commercial Law (law of the sea) and how their was a grand deception using these jurisdictions to confuse us.

I also introduced you to the ALL CAPS strawman, your corporation of one that is owned and used as collateral by the foreign-owned US Corporation. All if this can be easily verified although you may need a strong stomach once you start uncovering it all.

I have been wanting to bring a guest on and finally found my guest today and he does an excellent job of bringing our understanding along.

I highly recommend going back and listening to E186 Intro to Natural Law if you have not done so. Hopefully, a light-bulb or two will go off and it will help prepare you for today’s discussion.

Today’s episode deserves a disclaimer. None of what we talk about here should be taken as tax OR legal advice. It is for the intellectual curious. Neither myself or my guest are tax experts or legal experts. You’re on your own Basecampers. Now a word from our sponsor and on to your excellent interview. Enjoy!

Terry Hodges Bio

My guest today is Terry Hodges. Terry hails from Corvalis OR and did his undergraduate work in physics there. He is a Vietnam veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force. Terry has been a long-time crusader against injustice perpetrated by the government (especially the unlawful IRS). Here is my interview with Terry Hodges.

 E319 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did with the great Terry Hodges. This is an ongoing inquiry for me. What is sovereignty? What is freedom? What has been deceptively hidden from us? Keep looking with an open mind, trust your discernment and trust the plan that God has laid before us.

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

Basecamp for Men E318: Basecamp Classic

E318: Basecamp Classic

 

E318 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Today’s episode is a replay of a Basecamp Classic. I am traveling to see my Mom on the big island of HI and I was not able to get something fresh out.

But I have a great Classic today and another great new interview coming after this with my new friend and mentor Terry Hodges.

Today’s episode is a replay of an episode I did back in Season two with Sophie Maclean. I like to pick Classics that still very much resonate and this discussion about the role of the ego in suffering and the benefits of right-sizing the ego or traveling lighter in life, certainly still teaches and resonates with me. Enjoy Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E317: Masculinity and Healing Division

E317: Masculinity and Healing Division w Special Guest Timothy Weineke

 

E317 Introduction

I have the treat today of interviewing a psychotherapist who’s focus is on men and first-responders. AND he’s got a podcast geared towards men. AND he has different political views as yours truly…..and we didn‘t scream and yell and call each other names. Gasp.

With all seriousness, we cover a wide range of topics. From the different between authenticity and vulnerability and why men are attracted to one and flat-out run from the other. We chat about shame and its often central role in the inner lives of men and how to reframe it.

My guest also brings up an interesting insight. How politics in this country (because we can’t agree on the basic facts) boils down to something similar to the Yankees vs the Red Sox. It is just about which team you are on as opposed to having genuine dialogue.

All of this is reinforced by social media and the infinite number of AI bots sending out stuff to trigger one side or the other. I think both sides are tired of the division and I don’t know about you but I miss some of my old friends. Almost everyone I know has experienced a loss of friends and family because viewpoints or values no longer aligned.

This particular healing road is still a work-in-progress. And I will continue to share insights and any and all good news that comes my way.

Today’s interview is a good one. Let’t get to it. Enjoy. 

Timothy Weineke Bio

My guest today is Timothy Weineke. Timothy is a veteran and a psychotherapist and counselor whose practice specializes in helping men, veterans, and first responders gain the skills and knowledge to build connected and purposeful lives. He is also the creator and host of the American Masculinity podcast. Here is my interview with Timothy Weineke. 

E317 Final Thoughts

Go have a listen to Timothy’s excellent podcast The American Masculinity podcast. He really zeroes in on the inner lives of men and how to find a healing road.

I think one of the most impactful things we talked about is how political issues that divide us (whether it is Trump or guns or climate or country vs globalism) … that the most truthful and humble thing we can express is a simple “It’s complicated”. To which I can only respond with Aho! Maybe the ONLY common ground we can start with in this journey to heal the human tribe is to acknowledge that our differences are a bit complicated.

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

The American Pulse E26: Elections and Saving America

E26: Elections and Saving America w Special Guest Brian Burnett

 

E26 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse. We have a really good interview today with one of our State Representatives who was kind enough to make time for us. Our conversation runs far and wide but front and center right now for me (and I think for some of you as well) are two questions: What do we do about all the graft and corruption that we ALL see? Somali day care centers with no kids stealing millions of taxpayers dollars? Well guess what? We have something to the tune of 400-plus Somali daycare centers right here in WA state. How much do you want to bet that many of them have few, if any, kids in them?

The other question that is burning for me is: can we trust the elections? Does anybody (right, center, or left) really trust the elections in this country right now? I don’t think so. And President Trump doesn’t think so either, which is why he introduced the Save America Act. This is meant to restore faith in our elections and our political process. Not only in our nation but in our great state of Washington.

Olympia will fight it all the way, no doubt. It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it? With all the corruption in the air and Democrats are going to fight a bill that simply says only Americans can vote in American elections and we need a proper photo ID. Seems pretty basic, doesn’t it? You would think.

Let me illustrate this a bit further. I can’t vote in French or German or Australian elections. Why? Because I’m not French or German or Australian. I have no citizenship in those countries, I don’t pay taxes there, so I have no right to vote there. The same common sense and laws apply right here in America. Just because you are here in our country, does not mean you have earned he right to vote. There is a clear process for that. Follow the process if you want to vote.

On another gentler note, with spring in the air, one of my prayers is for a rebirth of our great nation. That good Americans serving in all sorts of capacities will tip the scales in favor of WE THE PEOPLE and all of those that love America, no matter their political leanings. And I believe we are seeing this in real time.

Before we get to our excellent guest today, I have a couple of memes for you. And remember that after our interview, KCGOP Chairwoman Jolie Lansdowne will land the plane in our final segment.

From Laura Matsue who says “Life really comes at you fast. One day I was a leftist because I was into organic food and not taking pharmaceuticals and now I’m a far-right extremist for being into those exact same things.”

And from Etheric Echoes who says “Hope is not naïve optimism but the stubburn refusal to grant darkness the final word. It is the quiet rebellion that plants gardens in the midst of ruins” Love this!

Now, onto our sponsor and our excellent guest. Enjoy!
