Basecamp for Men E127: Up the Mountain

E127: Up the Mountain with Special Guest Chris Pallis

 

E127 Introduction

One of our topics on Basecamp is Consciousness, spiritual awakening and inner knowing. These are really the same topic and it is near and dear to me as a Seeker of Truth. If we are all heading towards the same mountaintop, then showing the various ways we move out of our respective “basecamps” can have a unifying and inspiring effect.

There is no one road that is right for each one of us. Yet in our own unique ways, how we choose to live impacts the collective way up. As people find love and light and how to better serve these foundational principles, our strength is fortified. We are, in cosmic terms, a legendary race of beings.

We seem to be on the verge of something. Something that is reflected in both the inner and the outer world. There is an interconnectedness and Truth that is looking for you. It may look like you have been adrift yet here you find yourself…..at the brink of your own spiritual awakening and deep understanding of our place in the cosmos.

Wisdom is your native language. Maybe you have not been in the habit of exploring your inner depths and what you understand but there it is. Your birthright as a human.

We have stated it before and I will say it again. Spiritual awakening is a group effort. We all get there when we all get there and when we get there is NOW. We are an evolving, interconnected, emerging tribe of people that are just now realizing what this is all about.

Metaphorically, people are gathering around the fire to hear the myths and truths that will set us free.

Basecamp for Men E126: Throwing Bombs

E126: Throwing Bombs with Special Guest Mark Jeftovic

 

E126 Introduction

We are in an unprecedented time in our lifetime. On a global scale you are seeing a Great Awakening. Ordinary citizens (of all colors and stripes) finding their voice and making it heard. It is a beautiful thing to behold. The Covid narrative is crumbling to the ground. Can you sense it? Nobody gives a shit any longer. Everyone is ready for something new and something new is most certainly coming.

What is happening in the fiat/ cryptocurrency dynamic seems to be a reflection of what is happening in consciousness. A clear move into more sovereign ways of thinking and being with structures such as Bitcoin to support our collective emergence.

What happens when the blockchain revolution reaches every nook and cranny of our lives? A decentralized architecture without all the choke points and corruption that we know so well. It is easy to see how it revolutionizes money and transactions and how we store value. But how does this new paradigm impact voting? Or medicine? Or education? Etc. etc.

Because of the increasing speed of technology, this awakening is one that you can not only feel, you can SEE it like a great wave occurring. As my guest today points our, only the most brainwashed True Believers will miss it.

I, for one, am optimistic for 2022. There is a lot going in our favor right now and by “in our favor” I mean WE THE PEOPLE. We are not even to the end of the 1st quarter and we have truckers across Canada building a freedom convoy. Will American truckers do the same? God, let’s hope so. Anything that is built on a lie is collapsing or on the verve of collapse. We are in the process of strengthening the processes, structures, and inner knowing that will set us free. What a time to be alive!

Here is my interview with Mark Jeftovic.

E126 Final Thoughts-

Basecamp for Men E124: Finding Our Way

E124: Finding Our Way with Special Guest Roy Holman

 

E124 Introduction

I would like to start with a quote by St. Augustine who said: “The Truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose and it will defend itself.”

We are at a most interesting time in our awakening. It seems the truth is making itself known to more and more people. And not just the libertarians and freedom-loving tribe. The center, center-left, and yes even some lefties I know are seeing things differently than even a few months ago.

People seem, dare I say, LESS DIVIDED than before? The new book by Robert Kennedy Jr. The Real Anthony Fauci has stormed up the charts. It is red-pilling the center and center-left as we speak. Do you wan to know who Tony Fauci REALLY is? Go grab a copy for yourself and see what all the buzz is about.

And people seem to be turning more to God or Christ or the Divine and this is the other aspect of the Great Awakening. Humanity is learning of our Divine partnership in unique ways with each one of us adding to the whole.

My guest and I were marveling off microphone that we have both traversed the spiritual road far and wide and arrived back at God and Christ. There has been a particular magic for me in all of this. My spiritual journey has been a constant in my life. It was always imbued with myth and teachings from the East. It is only now, well into my middle years, that I have taken a keen interest in Christ and his teachings. It seems that God and the Divine like to keep us on our toes.

With that being said, I have always felt that BFM was divinely guided. My guests and topics come to me in often synchronistic ways. And it has taught me to trust God, to trust myself as a medium and messenger, and to trust you my listener to be able to pull from the conversations the insights and tidbits that you need to accelerate YOUR awakening and Hero’s Journey.

2022 is going to have us on the edge of our seats. There is protests for medical freedom and sovereignty happening all over the place. The center and center/left are waking up. This is the stage that mystics call The Quickening.

E124 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our conversation with Roy. I love his podcast Soulful Warrior. He is so down to earth and approachable in his conversations and never comes from a egoic point of view.

Basecamp for Men E122: Archetypes for Men

E122 Archetypes for Men with Special Guest James Rapson

 

E122 Introduction

Throughout my journey as a man and leader in the field of men’s personal development, one particular approach has stayed with me over time: the use of male archetypes to help men on their Hero’s Journey, whatever path that might be for each man.

It was how I was trained as a young man and I have had a love affair with these archetypes ever since. As the philosophical backbone of the Mankind Projects New Warrior Training, work in these concepts have continually provided a forward path with upward movement.

The use of archetypes has many dimensions, as the great philosopher, author, and therapist Carl Jung helped us to understand. Archetypes can bring us into mythical and transcendent realms where the collective and personal intersect. They also act as a diagnostic lens where we can read what is happening in humanity be looking in any direction: inward, outward, personal, or collective. Once your inner eye starts to focus on myth and archetypes, you start to see with new vision. A new vision that is full of magic and possibility as to where we are going and how you might properly play your role.

Archetypes are great for enlarging the context. For making the conversation bigger. The larger the context for our unfoldment, the more excited I get. With that in mind, let’s go have a conversation about male archetypes with our friend James Rapson.

E122 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. If working with male archetypes is interesting to you, I happen to emphasize this approach in my coaching practice.

I currently have a Life Renewal Program for Men that helps you work with these four archetypes plus the archetypal Hero. I love working with this framework and I can certainly help you create them as powerful tools for whatever transition or challenge you are facing.

If you are interested and want to get started or are just curious as to what this would be like, I offer the first session for free, no strings attached. This is a way for you to see how you might benefit and if working with me is in alignment with you and where you want to go as a man.

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E121: Leaning Into 2022

E121: Leaning Into 2022 with Special Guest Claire Morency

 

Hello listeners, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season and are off to a good start to the new year. I got a much needed rest and am off and going here with season four.

2022 will certainly be an interesting year. More and more people are waking up. Even the most positional of us are starting to realize, shit, I think they might be lying to us. If you still can’t admit this, it’s ok. I‘m not judging you. However the Truth is coming and can’t be stopped.

To me, the pandemic is essentially over. Done. It has lost all steam and credibility. I talk to all sorts of people from all different backgrounds and political stripes. People just don’t give a shit any longer. Omicrom….a mild variant with no deaths. We’re supposed to stay afraid? I don’t think so.

I have been watching along with you, all the people (fully vaccinated) who are testing positive for Covid. This fact alone will wake up a lot of people. The vaccinations are not preventing people from getting or spreading the variants. It was never designed to do so.

2022 will be the year of letting go for many of us. Silo‘s like Democrat/Republican, liberal/conservative, vaxxed/unvaxxed really don’t mean much any longer. It seems that, as Americans, we have a unique opportunity to finally transcend all that has kept us bound and separate. We are Americans. We stand for a set of principles-freedom and liberty being front and center.

Do you like your liberties? Your freedoms? Good! So do I and I don’t care where you are on the political spectrum. I will make you a promise. I won’t box you in and turn you into a cliché if you can afford me the same courtesy. I respect you too much to put you “over there” and label you ignorant. We will all arrive at the mountaintop together. Some are marching straight up. Some are taking a circuitous  road. All good.

What will happen in consciousness in 2022? Where are we at?

What myths will serve us in this next year? What will BFM explore? These are exciting questions for me. My role in our awakening has gradually come into greater focus. I am to keep a meta-narrative of WE THE PEOPLE at all times. If I deliver an uncomfortable Truth, I am to pull back to see the bigger picture. When people are triggered and in fear and denial, I am to give them space to work it out.

I am very optimistic for 2022. There will be many things unfolding, some of which will be jaw-dropping. Is this the year the Great Awakening hits its stride or reaches its apex? Is this the year Americans come together to strengthen our Republic? Time will tell. One thing is for sure. We are rapidly moving towards something that will forever change the way we see the world and ourselves. Are you ready? I am.

I would like to start with an intention. That 2022 is a year like no other for you. This is the year that Truth finds you and does its magic. That you find the resources to make sense of it all and that you and your family are protected and assisted by the Divine at all times. This is the year that humanity transmutes its fear into something that elevates us. And that this is the year we all sense our essential Unity and make our collective and individual choices based on that realization.

Let us all step into the next chapters of our Hero’s Journey boldly together. I am with you. Here we go.

Claire Morency Bio

Claire Morency is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Conscious Language Instructor and Body Language translator, a natural teacher and facilitator of health and wellness. She acts as a bridge to specific, clear, and insightful wisdom, coalesced by more than 30 years of education and experience. Here is my interview with Claire Morency.

E120 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our interview with Claire. Hypnotherapy has always existed in those in-between spaces for me. Meaning that because it addresses your sub-conscious mind and how you use language and self-talk, it has the power and ability to effect positive change in the area or areas that you are struggling with. I think it could be an important tool in your toolbox as you look to transform what may be stuck.

And Claire has graciously given Basecamp listeners a generous discount. If you are ready for a change and want to get started working with Claire, simply email her at https://clairemorencyhypnotherapy.com and mention Basecamp in the email and she will discount your first session by $50. I am planning on working a bit with Claire in 2022 to see what hypnotherapy is like and see if I can shift some old mindsets that no longer work so well.

Thank you for listening. It’s good to be back!
