Basecamp for Men E115: Elderhood and the Legacy of Men

E115: Elderhood and the Legacy of Men with Special Guest Paul Dunion

 

E115 Introduction

I was thinking yesterday about the Journey of the Soul. The DESCENDED path, as it is often referred to. My guest today speaks and writes beautifully about this road.

The Descended path runs counter to everything about our Western culture. Collectively, we tend to push forward with technological progress and quest for more, more, more. More speed, more improvement, fast results, fast information, fast internet speed and blah blah blah. Everything has to happen 5 minutes ago.

The Soul doesn’t care about any of this. Not one damn bit. The Soul wants to marinate, to meander, to get lost, and to slowly figure things out. All the people I know who have a largeness of Soul carry this expression with them. It is such an attractive quality in people. Those that speak from the Soul.

It’s interesting to me that all of the New Age talk and books are about Ascension. The Ascending Spirit. It is easy to see why. The dynamic of Ascension has an escaping quality to it. As in I am tired of all this suffering and I want to help lift us (and myself) out of this place. I think both dynamics are probably important. At least that is my hunch. The spirit and lightness of ascension and the earthy, authenticity, and truthfulness of the Soul.

I think again and again of the Grail myth here. The Grail speaks wonderfully of the descended path. Remember, Parcival (the Hero of the story) was unable to heal the Fisher King‘s wound and restore the Kingdom until he did his inner work in this descending path. He needed to become humble, which is a derivative of humus, which means earthy, feminine, unsophisticated. In short, Parzival needed more Soul. Or I should say, he needed to do the work to contact and express the largesse of his own inner experience.

How many of us are at this point in the Grail story? We took whatever tools we had and arrived at a place to heal the ailing King. But none of us knew what to do. The story shows us that Parzival (ourselves) had more inner work to do. The DESCENDING path of the Soul. This is where we start to meander. To notice the depths in ourselves and those around us. Nature starts to have an incredible beauty and interconnectedness. The Descended path starts to awaken our inner mystic. The part of us that needs to feel a bit lost and confused in order to properly arrive at our destiny.

If we are to grow into elderhood and properly mentor the good men that are younger than us, as well as awaken the archetypal King, then this path of the Soul will need to be walked and brought into clear focus for future generations. Remember, there are mystics and teachers that will arrive at our shores who have not yet been born.

It is important for men to do this inner work, as my guest today speaks about so eloquently. Let’s go talk to him about the path of the Soul, meandering, and the importance of mentorship and elderhood.

E114: Leaning Into the Mystery

with Special Guest Sophie McLean

 

E114 Introduction

As you can probably tell by now, I am attracted to people who are leaning into the mystery. I think that the mystics I have on are some of my best guests. This list includes among others Paul Dunion (who is coming back on next episode), Anne Baring, Champ Parinya, Chris Pallis, Sally Kempton, Howard Ferguson, Janell Hartman, Lisa Rezac, Ben Tobias as well as my guest today.

I like to be in dialogue with mystically-inclined people. I find their depth of seeing to be reassuring to my own path. And by taking the long-view, mystics always seem to be optimists. Indeed, most mystics can barely contain their excitement for the awakening that unfolding. I find this characteristic to be very attractive. What a time to be alive!

The old, corrupt systems seem to be in full collapse. Are you sensing it? The political, media, and financial narratives are in near free-fall as humanity continues to awaken.What sort of structures and systems will we create in its place? As we better understand consciousness and how it molds perceptual reality, how will we partner with one another to envision and manifest what we are able to see for ourselves. This is the excitement of our times.

I can see bad news as much as the next person. However I am not building the future with any of these depressing tidbits. I am choosing a higher road for this task with more elevated material and I hope you can see the wisdom in this. We are here to help one another see the faint trail that will take us higher. Everyone is finding their way right now.

I met my guest today more than a decade ago. But her influence in my life has been substantial. I count her among my many important teachers. Someone who walked the talk long before I was able to. Her commitment to humanity is something I hold as a model for how to better live and serve the greater good. Let’s go chat with her about what is going on.

Sophie McLean Bio

My guest today is wisdom teacher Sophie McLean. Sophie has spent decades leading transformational seminars to over 80,000 people around the world. People of all ethnicities, ages, religious and social backgrounds. Her seminar topics span both the human and metaphysical dimensions and touch on such topics as: deconstructing the ego, consciousness, the nature of fear, relationships, the dynamics of the feminine and the masculine, and how to make a difference in the world.

Here is my interview with Sophie McLean.

E114 Final Thoughts

I love what Sophie said about keeping a Beginner’s Mind. To be in a space of “not knowing” is a powerful place to be standing right now. Beginners mind along with a steady commitment to the spiritual path and to our tribe, goes a long ways to bringing you along in this Great Awakening.

Basecamp for Men E112: Seeing Through the Fog

E112: Seeing Through the Fog with Special Guest David Whitehead

 

E112 Introduction

Truth, freedom, and justice….that is all we want! Seriously. For too long now the public has been swimming in the lies and deception brought to us by good ole MSM. The momentum has changed in the game. Can you sense it?

There has been a heavyweight fight that we have been witnessing (and intimately involved in) whether you realize it or not. The Deep State is like a prizefighter on the ropes. Flailing, still a bit dangerous to us, but ultimately about to hit the canvas. And this is extraordinary news for WE THE PEOPLE. Books will be written about this for years to come.

What will happen next? Well, much of that depends on us. I am seeing more and more people questioning the MSM narrative……about Covid, about the Deep State, about Trump and Biden and China, and about us. We are figuring it out.

I think the question everyone needs to ask themselves is this: if the mainstream media is doing their best to deceive and divide us (that should be fairly obvious at this point), how can I continue my own momentum in this Great Awakening?

For some, maybe you start looking at Telegram where you’ll find more citizen journalists and critical thinkers. You start listening to Project Veritas and Clif High to broaden your perspective. Or you go dig into Patel Patriots Devolution series on Subtack because everyone is talking about it and you don’t undertand it. Well, please go understand it. It will certainly help you.

For others, you may just need to drop your MSM addiction. Just let it go and see what comes to you without all that propaganda fogging up your perceptive abilities.

For still others, it may not be any of this. What you may need to do is deepen your spiritual life or your meditation practice. Maybe you need to deepen your expression of gratitude and reverence for the mystery of it all and the Divine. Or increase your capacity for silence. Perhaps you have gotten accustomed to the noise of the intellect and this is keeping you from clear seeing. Can you take an honest look at THAT?

My point here is we all have an edge to explore in the Great Awakening. I have an edge and so do you. Together, we will continue to grow our courage and our sovereignty to face whatever comes at us, knowing that I have your back and you have mine.

The questions that keeps coming up for me is this: How do we collectively develop our strength, wisdom, and humility? Can we do this NOW? How do we do this? This will be part of my ongoing inquiry moving forward.

I am excited to talk to my guest today. Really excited actually. He is a fellow truth seeker, freedom lover, mystic and podcaster. Let’s go have a conversation with him and find out what is going on.

Basecamp for Men E111: You Have to Show the People

E111: You Have to Show the People with Special Guest Richard Citizen Journalist

We are in a most interesting, surreal moment in history, aren’t we? Never before have so many of us seen the obvious lies and deceit of the MSM. People are turning away in droves, looking for truth and how to make sense of this through new avenues and channels such as Telegram and Project Veritas.

I respect where you are right now my listeners, wherever you at at. I remember how difficult my own awakening has been at times, especially at the beginning. You feel like Neo from the Matrix, throwing up as one Morpheus or another lays down another truth bomb meant to help you see. We all wanted a cushy, fun adventure in life. Turns out we made a choice to incarnate here during the apex of a system-wide takedown and meltdown.

I wonder how long before the public realizes we are at war with the CCP and that this war involves our 2020 election and the weaponized, gain of function Covid-19 virus? It can’t be long now. A few more weeks? A few more months? It’s coming. You can see it barreling down the tracks.

The conventional military stand-off in Taiwan seems to be just tip of the iceberg. A natural extension of the hidden cyber and information war that has been raging for years. The fact that it is bubbling up into conventional warfare tells us that it is coming to a head (literally) and will be hard to ignore.

The mainstream media continues to use a mushroom farmers technique on WE THE PEOPLE: Keep us in the dark and feed us shit. But people are waking up. I can sense it. Are you gently red-pilling your friends and family? At least the ones with an open enough mind to look at alternative data sets and a different meta-view as to what is unfolding?

We will be tracking this closely now. What is happening in the world and what is happening in consciousness are a mirror image. As we dissolve illusory boundaries between us, so the world will show its foundational unity to us. The lies that the media so obviously pushes at us don’t match the frequency or vibration of who we are becoming. We have the high ground. Frequency-wise, intention-wise. We will all be arriving together at a place that is new and strangely familiar.

Before we get to our interview, I would like to read you a quote by the great Mark Twain who says “In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

Keep up the good work my friend. I honor your courage and open-mindedness. Let’s go talk to another courageous man, Richard Potcner.

Richard Potcner Bio-

My guest today is a citizen journalist and Patriot with one of the most watched channels on Telegram. Richard Potcner, aka Richard Citizen Journalist as he is known on Telegram. He criss-crosses the United States with videos that often show the incongruences and deception of the MSM. Here is my interview with Richard Potcner.

E111 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed my interview with Richard Potcner. I encourage everyone to make their way to Telegram. It is, for now, the hub of WE THE PEOPLE. Telegram does not censor the citizen journalists and writers that are posting there, so you will certainly read and hear truth bombs that MSM is not going to show you. I am seeing more and more curious liberals making their way there and that makes sense to me. It is hard to get a clear picture without this piece, I would think.

The Devolution series by Patel Patriot is a must read for every American. There are 11 or 12 parts to Devolution now plus a couple of Addendum‘s. Devolution will help you understand what is unfolding, no matter your political orientation. You can find Devolution on Patel Patriot’s TG channel or on Substack at patelpatriot.subtstack.com.
