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 E110: The Heartbeat of Our Counter Narrative

E110: The Heartbeat of Our Counter Narrative

 

E110 Introduction

Hello listeners, I hope you are well. I recently did an interview with Roy Holman’s Soulful Warrior podcast. I took a listen to the interview and thought you would appreciate it here.

Roy and I talk about men’s work, the spiritual and information war that is upon us and the current state of the world. I think it is particularly valuable for each of us to be in conversations about how we go about elevating our narrative. It is how we claim the higher ground. In a war, the higher ground has the advantage.

There is something emerging on the radar for me. As I see it, how we weave this narrative using myth, archetypes, and Divine partnership will ultimately be our legacy.

Our political differences are about to mean absolutely NOTHING my friend. I am in your hands and you are in mine. I trust that you are doing the messy, sometimes challenging work of awakening yourself to truth. We prepare ourselves and one another for the historic time we are about to step into.

Here is the interview. I hope you enjoy it.

E110 Final Thoughts

I hope you found that interview valuable. I like being on the other end of the interview from time to time as it allows me to express certain truths in a slightly different way. More off the cuff.

The piece about awakening and strengthening the collective King is, I believe, our edge. Since this is our edge, we will be returning to this archetype and idea again and again in the coming months as I feel this is how we help move the narrative upwards and in our favor.

One last thing, If you find this show valuable. If you sense that you will hear things here that you don’t elsewhere and this content helps you, please share this with a friend, family member, or colleague. Man or woman. Someone that you would like to see inside of this story with us. I appreciate your trust and you have my word that we will continue to bring you truth, wisdom, and a love of our mutual humanity.

 

 

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).

To find all of the great resources he has in The Sovereign Project go to www.thesovereignproject.liveYou can join for free and there is all sorts of resources there for you to start to empower yourself in all the ways we talked about.

 

Basecamp for Men E103: Freeing Yourself from “Niceness”

E103:Freeing Yourself from “Niceness” with Special Guest James Rapson

 

E103 Introduction

One of the common things I see men struggle with is how do you break out of this people pleasing fixation. It is the curse of Nice Guys and Nice Girls. You always need to be getting your approval and validation “over there”. It seems that, if this was a strategy we used as children, unaddressed, this coping pattern will continue to assert itself, showing us in spades that simply pleasing others with our niceness is an insufficient strategy if we are to navigate  our lives in more heroic and authentic ways.

I used to be a full on people-pleaser. No shit. Many from my past might remember this side of me.  A Nice Guy. UGH!! Now I see that it was all part of my development as a man. I needed to outgrow this immature, validation-seeking part of myself. And I had many teachers along the way. Particularly when I got involved with the Mankind Project.

I remember when I first got initiated by MKP and attending my very first men’s wisdom councils. I couldn‘t believe how these guys spoke to one another. There was a rough-and-tumble honesty among the men and complete disregard for being nicey-nice.  These men commanded respect with their truthfulness and authenticity.

It wasn’t that these men were just being assholes, although sometimes this happened when a man was triggered. It’s that they had a freedom of expression that was not bound by the Nice Guy mold. I  would use these chapters in my life to grow past the old Happy-Go-Lucky Nice Boy that was such a dominant part of my young adult life. The Warrior archetype would finish him off in my forties as my inner strength as a man grew.

I still know many men that are hemmed in by incessant people-pleasing. It‘s widespread. My guest today wrote a book and knows a lot about this topic. I’m looking forward to dialoguing with him.
