Basecamp for Men E313: The Secrets of Water

E313: The Secrets of Water

 

E313 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. I have a slew of good interviews coming up, which will lead to a string of what would be considered standard Basecamp episodes. That is, my introduction, an interview, and a wrap-up. When I don’t have an interview to work with, I have two options. Either a Basecamp Classic replay of a top episode from seasons past or a Firestarter short-format episode.

Today is a Firestarter about a topic that has long-fascinated me and has come back on my radar recently and I wanted to share it with you. It is the work of Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto and his work with water. My sense is that many of you dear listeners do not know his work and have probably never read or seen any of his books. This episode is mainly about “check this guy out” more than anything else but, of course, I wanted to tell you a bit about it.

I remember getting The Hidden Messages in Water at a new age book store. I felt drawn towards it in many ways. Dr. Emoto’s work I would come to find out is simple and elegant but with profound transformative implications. I will do my best today to describe it in simple terms. Enjoy this Firestarter short-format episode!

 

 

Basecamp for Men E312: Messages from the One Mind

E312: Messages from the One Mind with Special Guest Richard Barrett

 

E312 Introduction

One of the dynamics I have commented on over the years and had many conversations about is the evolution of how we receive information from the more subtle realms. From the One Mind, as my guests calls it. I have notice in myself and in many, many of my closest friends an acceleration and confidence in how they access the Divine, how they receive messages from God, is another way of saying it.

And when I was younger, I was always drawn to the mystics and the unique individuals who seemed to so easily transmit Divine messages. And then, lo and behold, everyone around me (present company included) started to pray, meditate, contemplate, and yes, channel insights and wisdom that seem to come from a different dimension. It seems it is happening to all of us.

As if God and the Divine are asking us to collectively and individually tune into the radio frequency that is God (however each one of us conceives that). God, Goddess, the Universe, the One Mind, Christ Consciousness and on and on. The thousand names that humans use for the Godhead.

The old maps no longer are guiding us. We are in a new chapter for all of us and the trail is faint. Good thing there is a flowering higher consciousness with direct access to God that seems to be organically growing in our people (our people being all of humanity). This may end up being one of our major themes for season #8. Enjoy the interview. 

Richard Barrett Bio 

My guest today is Richard Barrett. Richard is a prolific author, a thought leader in the area of consciousness studies, and the founder of the Barrett Academy, a London-based organization that seeks to provide evidence-based advice on the evolution of human consciousness. Here is my interview with Richard Barrett

E312 Final Thoughts-

Hope you enjoyed that interview as much as I did. I love watching how creative individuals get important messages to the People. Super inspiring. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week

Basecamp for Men E311: Basecamp Classic

E311: Basecamp Classic with Special Guest Benjamin Seaman

 

E311 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Well, we are in between interviews and Firestarters this week. So I dusted off a re-listen of a Basecamp Classic. And this one is truly a Classic from all the way back in Season #1.

I thought since I was talking a bit about depression and how to move through it last week, you might appreciate this deeper dive from Season one with my old friend Benjamin Seaman, who happens to be a very successful NYC psychotherapist with some great insights around this topic.

Next week we are back to an interview and I have a number of good guests coming on along with a couple of good Firestarters that I am working on.

For now, enjoy this Basecamp Classic with Ben Seaman.

Basecamp for Men E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

E310: The Mish Mosh Episode

 

E310 Introduction

Today’s episode is another Firestarter (short format) episode aptly titled The Mish Mosh EP. I have a couple of memes, a few tidbits from the narrative battlefield and then some personal thoughts on depression and the dark knight of the Soul, something that I am observing in the culture as well as something I have personal experience with.

But first a couple of memes! Love me some meme warfare. Tee hee hee.

From activist Jaime Michell who says: “Liberals need to calm down. President Trump is not going to harm gay people, bring back slavery, or strip women of their rights….He’s not a Muslim.”

From Stacy is Right:

“The hashtag rotates, the outrage gets recycled but it’s always the same sanctimonious clowns, the same hysterical tantrums, the same useless street theater. A new flavor of moral superiority every couple of years, same cast of perpetual protesters, same zero results.

Fuck ICE is just the latest costume swap for “Free Palestine”, “Defund the Police”,”Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, “Believe All Women”, “I’m With Her”, “No Blood for Oil”, “I Can’t Breathe” and “We Are the 99%”

It‘s not activism. It’s a lazy, taxpayer-and-foundation-funded lifestyle subscription for spoiled narcissists who want the cheap dopamine hit of feeling holier-than-thou without ever having to build a damn thing, solve a real problem, take responsibility, lead anyone, or produce one measurable win in the real world.”

Oh, and here’s one for you all of the misguided people who can’t stop virtue signaling about Israel. It is from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, recorded at Finks in Jerusalem, Benji says “America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up and sell it off piece by piece, until there is nothing left but the world’s largest welfare state that we will create and control. This is what we do to countries we hate. We destroy them, very slowly.”

Don‘t shoot me, I‘m just the messenger. What a charmer he is! Let‘s get to this episode.

E309: A New Chapter Part 2

 

E309 Introduction

Today is a Firestarter, short-format episode as a follow up to the great interview that Mark Carter gave us last week. I wanted to address some of the things that Mark and I discussed. This will just be a short little nugget but hopefully you all find value in it.

And this episode is being written and recorded at my new studio in Lake Chelan. New studio is just a code for my house. I gotta tell you, after all my years in living in big cities like Seattle and New York, it feels just amazing to settle into a small town in the middle of nowhere. It’s slower and clean and beautiful and just what the doctor order for me. I feel really good here.

With that being said, I have noticed something about the left and it keeps coming up in the conversations that I am a part of…
