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!

 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 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.

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.
