Basecamp for Men E123: The Kybalion

E123: The Kybalion with Special Guest Ronni Thomas

 

E123 Introduction

If one is to be a seeker of Truth, you will inevitably find yourself in a forested maze, so to speak. Truth is looking for us and is embedded in myth, the Western mystery schools, esoteric and occult topics, and things like conspiracy theories where the seeker will rub shoulders with all sorts of characters. Some for us and some against us.

I used to think I was looking for “the Way”. As I have aged, I realize that I was always looking for MY way. My way of interpreting the data, speaking the Truth with courage, helping others understand what is happening to us. And my way of being in the flow and helping to ready ourselves for what is coming.

I believe there is great value in looking at the deeper patterns that are showing themselves to us. Can you be in conversations that are a bit uncomfortable? Ones that take you out to your edge of understanding? We are all being forced to our edges and this is how the Divine intended it to be. Let’s go meet our guest (from Brooklyn) and unpack some esoteric ideas.

Basecamp for Men E119: The Road Forward

E119: The Road Forward with Special Guest Christian Elliot

 

E119 Introduction

Hello listeners. We are finishing up season three and my sound editor Chris and I will be taking a short holiday break. We have today‘s episode and then a season wrap up/preview of 2022 and what Basecamp for Men will be up to in the coming year. The break will be short. We will be back with a new episode to start off season four on Jan 11th.

This will give me a chance to catch my breath and not have a Tuesday deadline breathing down me neck each week. It was always my plan to run seasons. 40 or so episodes before taking a short hiatus. The break between season one and season two was long. Many months as we built the new platform etc etc. I never actually took a break between season two and season three. We simply announced a new season and kept on recording. This upcoming break is more what I had in mind. Just a few weeks to breathe. I am very much looking forward to season four and what we will be covering.

This weeks episode is one of my favorites of the entire season. My guest today is not only holding space for all of our views, he is helping to create the more pro-humanity narrative that we are all instinctively looking for, whether we realize it or not.

Christian Elliot Bio

Christian Elliot is a husband, father of five, and a certified personal trainer, health coach, and nutrition expert. He has a Masters of Divinity and since 2003 has logged over 15,000 hours of one-on-one coaching.

Basecamp for Men E118: Entangled in Myth

E118: Entangled in Myth with Special Guest Dr. Anne Baring

 

E118 Introduction

One of the things I see that can really assist us on this Great Awakening is to keep having conversations with the wisdom keepers. The ones who have done more inner work than we have or are a bit further along. I think this affirms our Soul‘s Journey.

Which myths and modes of seeing the world will best serve us? How does each of us “serve the Grail” so to speak. It is these questions lived in each heart that will ultimately heal the Wasteland that we find ourselves in. We are not living in hopeless times, far from it.

There has never been a better time to be alive. And I don‘t mean because there are opportunities to get rich. Really, who cares about that when the inner and outer Wasteland is so evident all around us and desperately needs our attention.

No, there has never been a time when so many of us are receptive to Divine intervention. Open to the magic of transformation and alchemy. When so many of us are experiencing a deep awakening of our collective mythic imagination or epinoia as the Gnostics referred to it as.

There has never been a time when the Grail myth was so close to completing IT’S mission. That’s right. I have it heard said many times over the last couple of years say we are living in biblical times. I can certainly see and appreciate this perspective. However for me, I would say that we are living in mythical times. That the culmination of our great search for truth and meaning as a collective is about to enter an exciting new chapter.

To quote my guest today:

“What is being born in the collapse and dissolution of the old mythologies- the old belief systems which have divided instead of uniting humanity- is a recognition that we do not live in a dead, meaningless universe but within a Sacred Cosmic Order.”

I couldn’t agree more. Let‘s go have another enlightening conversation with wisdom keeper and author Anne Baring.

 

Basecamp for Men E116: A Walk on the Wild Side

E116: A Walk on the Wild Side with Special Guest Champ Parinya

 

E116 Introduction

Today’s episode is dedicated to all of the brave souls who communicate truth, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular. The rebels, the mystics, the seers, the researchers. The ones who have courageously put their necks out there. On behalf of humanity, I want to thank you for bringing us along. We couldn’t have done it without you.

This episode brings us into some esoteric yet essential terrain. My friend Champ Parinya, the creator of the Great Awakening Map, and I finally take an honest look at the SSP. My hope is that the episode acts as initiation for you. That you hear just enough truth and curiosity and perhaps synchronicity to have you do your own dive into the rabbit hole.

How do you dive down the rabbit hole on the SSP? By reading a couple of Dr. Michael Salla’s books. That is where I would point you. Why there? He is a meticulous researcher with rock solid military whistleblowers and declassified documents. He organizes this material in a way that the layperson can follow and integrate.

It seems the new paradigm is here and this piece of the puzzle is perhaps the one that brings the whole galactic and cosmic picture into focus. It did for me and for my guest today. Let’s take a walk on the wild side with a trusted guide, Great Awakening Map creator and researcher Champ Parinya.

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.
