Basecamp for Men E108: The Mystery of St. Germain

E108: The Mystery of St. Germain with Special Guest Chris Pallis

 

E108 Introduction

Over the years, I have become accustomed to looking out at the edges. We have found that if we are going to walk the talk on our own transformation, and live inspired and mission-driven, then it’s important to not get too complacent.  We tend to gather resources as we live our lives. Adding as we mature into men and women. It can be breath of fresh air to look at and bring yourself out to your edges. This is where some of your new tools will be. The ones you haven‘t learned about yet.

We have spoken about this in previous episodes. How do we receive the deeper clues that are whispering to us? How do we sharpen our perceptive abilities and grow our inner knowing? This is and will be crucial.

I first came across St. Germain as I was exploring the various mystery schools. He held an elevated position amongst mystics. There were rumors in spiritual circles that St. Germain was an Ascended Master who is still actively assisting humanity in their current predicament. Perhaps a being who has evolved to the point of being able to traverse dimensions of time and space.  These elevated masters (such as Christ or Mary Magdalene or St. Germain) are beings who are committed to assisting us in our ascension.

In short, we have allies in high places and will need to access them as we move forward. We all know many who count Christ as an Ascended being committed to helping humanity. There are others and they are available to contact.

Chris Pallis Bio

My guest today is Chris Pallis and he is a mystic, a teacher, and the director of the St. Germain Foundation here in Seattle. He is also a man I consider a mentor. A man who walks the talk and selflessly serves humanity. Here is my interview with Chris Pallis.

E108 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed my interview with Chris. I meet with Chris every couple of months and I always come away inspired and uplifted and remembering what is important. My hope for you men is that you also draw to yourself a mentor a two. Someone who will help you prepare for the next chapters of your Hero’s Journey.

One thing I firmly believe in is the wisdom of bringing other perspectives into your life. When you do this you will hear more that will be out on your edge, particularly on the spiritual side of things. This will help you find new resources in the coming days.

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E107: Dealing with Ourselves

E107 Dealing with Ourselves

 

E107 Introduction

One thing that we have come to understand through all this is that we are in a messy process. We are, as a tribe, learning how to deal with uncertainty and chaos. It is all around us right now. And my sense is that we also learning how to develop our inner knowing and our connection to the Divine light. For some this will be through Church and the Light of Christ. For others it will be a Gnostic path with Goddess motifs and the natural world. For still others, it may be an eastern wisdom tradition or aplant medicine of one kind or another to help accelerate this inner knowing. All roads lead to the mountaintop, as the mystic would say.

The process is always messy. Never neat and tidy. As we deal with our repression, denial, trauma, and amnesia. Many of us are working our way out of a kind of numbness that we have used to try to insulate us from the pain of separation or trauma. Others are working through the fog of disinformation that acts like a pollution in our minds. Making it difficult to see the truth or the Divine Light and to know which way is up and out of this mess.

How do we meet one another “where we are.” Knowing that where you are and where I am might be quite different. How do we get our arms around everyone we care about, which is this whole tribe that is in our care. It is my belief and my vision that we are entering a whole new chapter of our collective Hero’s Journey. We will leave cynicism and disbelief and habitually dark patterning behind us.

We are all, you and I, learning to hold the Light for one another. When one of us slips, another stops to help them up. This is our alchemy and our work. We are all in this together, working to elevate one another.  Hang in there for we are almost to the next chapter of our story.

Ben Bio-

Because of the nature of our conversation today, my guest wants to be able to speak freely and remain somewhat anonymous and we will use only his first name.

Ben is a friend, a software developer and spiritual warrior. He leads men’s groups and a Brazilian church that uses Ayehuasca or plant medicine as their sacrament. Something we talk about in today’s episode. Here is my interview w my good friend Ben.

E107 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Ben. I love how authentic and heart-centered Ben is. It was fascinating to me how his work in a church with plant medicine looks a lot light a laboratory that shows us what we are all going through. Processing fear and uncertainty, healing trauma, letting go of ego and habitual ways of doing and seeing things.

It stood out to me when Ben said that in his work, the medicine is the body or Consciousness of Christ. I could feel the power and truth in this declaration.

Not everything is the way we once thought it was. It seems right now, EVERYONE is having to navigate this. THE TRUTH IS ALSO SEEKING THE SEEKER.

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E106: Shaping Our Narrative

E106 Shaping Our Narrative with Special Guest Roy Holman

 

E106 Introduction

I love to interview people who can see patterns and speak with depth. It has always been my aim that Basecamp for Men would be a trusted source of resources and wisdom. So it is not an accident that I gravitate towards guests that express Soul.

For it is in this quality of earthiness or Soul that our ancient teachings can reach us. When each of us humbly does our work, we prepare ourselves for Divine messages and inspiration. We are the vessel for what is emerging.

I sometimes can barely contain my excitement for what is starting to crest in WE THE PEOPLE. Will we win? Or will fascism prevail? As we continue to anchor our thoughts, emotions, and intentions in the higher planes or dimensions, we all help to bring forth the new age we all seek. America will certainly lead as she always does.

It seems we are all just now discovering that there is another dream that is looking for us. Can you sense it? Are you participating? Our collective Hero’s Journey is about to turn another page. Let’s take a deep breath and continue to move into our story with courage.

Basecamp for Men E105: The Sovereign Project

E105: The Sovereign Project with Special Guest Peter Stone

 

E105 Introduction

As we have watched the events of the past couple of years unfold, there was something that was coming into clearer and clearer focus for many. That we have inverted our ladder of authority.  We have forgotten our own sovereignty, instead giving our power over to the state and worse yet, the media-driven narrative.

It was shocking to me to watch people I care about capitulate so easily. I watched a level of obedience that scared me. I know some feisty people but I haven’t seen many who were expressing much of this during this so-called pandemic.

I naturally started to gravitate to those that were asserting their strength and their freedom and know their rights, like my guest today.  I quickly and quietly left circles that were too conformist and whose narratives were driven by fear. It’s just not for me.

This episode is in the same vein as one I did back with Paul Remington Jones, which is one I know many of you enjoyed.  If you like today’s episode and want to go give that one a listen, it is E87 Standing in Strength.

I find it a bit interesting that, of the four archetypes we use in men’s work, the one that men consistently have difficulty accessing, myself included, is the King or Sovereign. Americans have gotten flabby as to our Constitutional rights. I see this all over the place. We will need citizen leaders in this area in the coming months and years if we are to restore the Republic. Something I believe we are in the process of doing, whether you are aware of it or not.

It may just be time for you to roll up your sleeves and start to educate yourself on Common Law, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Learning or re-learning this will only give you strength and confidence in both yourself and the direction we are heading.

Our foundation is strong and gets stronger each time a citizen becomes clear as to where his or her authority comes from. I invite you today into deeper learning in this area of study.

Peter Stone Bio-

My guest today is Peter Stone and he is a thought leader in the area of empowering citizens to live in their own power and sovereignty. He is also the founder of The Sovereign Project. Here is my interview with Peter Stone.

E105 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed my interview with Pete Stone. I really enjoyed my time with him. If I was in the UK, I would take him to the pub and buy him a beer (or two).
