Basecamp for Men E274: Basecamp Classic

E274: Basecamp Classic w Paul Dunion

 

E274 Introduction

Today’s episode is a Basecamp Classic, meaning a replay of a top shelf episode from seasons past. I try to keep these to only 4 or 5 a year. I like to use them whenever we are a little low on content. I have a bunch of good interviews coming up but needed something this week. Plus for the new listeners, you may have missed a few gems from back in the day.

This episode is a really good one. It’s from all the way back to season two. The original title was E 46: Wisdom for Uncertain Times w Special Guest Paul Dunion. It is a fitting theme for today, the episode holds up well all these years later, and Paul has always been one of my favorite guests to interview. You genuinely feel you are sitting around the fire with a true master. Enjoy this Basecamp Classic.

E11 Introduction

It’s one of the things we all gravitate towards: Life, inspiration, wisdom, and clarity. These qualities are our birthright as we navigate the minefield that are the times that we live in. I thank God everyday that there are voices like my guest today. Voices that carry the Word and resonate with the human heart.

If all you do for yourself and your family is find alignment with the wisdom keepers, you will be shown a new and glorious future. I promise you.

Humanity is waking up. This awakening includes people of all races, ages, creeds and religions. It also includes all classes of people from all backgrounds.

 

The resonance of truth spoken by leaders of the human spirit carries information for an awakening human tribe.

For those that aren’t aware, WE THE PEOPLE have been activated and we are united in our message and we have our TRUE spiritual leaders like my guest today. Enjoy the interview.

The American Pulse E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

 

E7 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse. It is great to have you here with us today. Today is a short little episode with our sponsor, a short piece of news and a song! We are early in our creative process with The American Pulse and trying some different ways of delivering something valuable to you. Knowing that we are all bombarded with content. We are hoping to find something that is short but impactful. Let’s get right to it with a word from our sponsor and this short offering.

There is a local story here that I wanted to share with you along with some of my thoughts on it.

There was a local Democrat leader Jessica Roberts, a transgender woman (meaning, of course a man posing as a woman), who was unanimously elected to the local Lynnwood city council. Well, they didn’t do their due diligence very well as it quickly emerged that Jessica had some dark fantasies that she posted on Reddit. What were they? She graphically describes fantasies of killing and dismembering women and also of eating children while people watch. Yes you heard that right.

Why am I telling you this. For all of the independents and Democrats who have finally had enough.

As a fairly new Republican myself, I want to welcome you with respect and appreciation of your courage for we know how difficult it can be to break away from the herd. Many of us did the same thing. It’s truly a Hero’s Journey and we honor wherever you are on your awakening.

To finish, here is a song of optimism for those that have had enough of the madness. This song harkens back to my own journey. When I looked around at the insane ideas that we being foisted up us and made a choice to reach for a more positive and uplifting narrative.

If you like the song, go download Wake Me Up by Avicii on I-Tunes. And we thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

 

Basecamp for Men E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing

E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing w Special Guest Joel Rafidi

 

E268 Introduction

One of the central themes of this show (especially since 2020 and Covid) has been the Great Awakening of consciousness in the human tribe. Things have been accelerated on this timeline. And as much as pro-freedom, pro-American MAGA and MAHA are ready to celebrate the renewal of the American dream, we have some underlying dynamics that need to play out, are you following me?

As my guest today so eloquently expresses, much of the world feels like these are dark days, apocolypic even. It is important to keep that in mind as these epic events unfold, one after another.

It is a good time to travel LIGHTLY, meaning don’t hold too tightly to preconceived notions of right and wrong, us and them. Humanity as a collective seem to be holding on for dear life right now and keeping that in your awareness will help you and others.

What do humans do when they gradually realize that the systems that they placed their faith in not only don’t serve them but have actively tried to gaslight them and keep them in the dark. The cognitive dissonance that we are witnessing right now is astonishing.

However, there is more light coming into awareness. You can sense this as well. Each day brings a new revelation. We are suddenly realizing COLLECTIVELY that there are many things that we DON’T need as a society. This list is growing every day as the exposure of graft and corruption reach epic proportions.

It’s a good time to restore one’s faith. Whether that is God and Christ or the Divine or the benevolent forces of the creative Universe or just humanity and each other. We have allies that are assisting us, both inner and outer.

Today’s guest is one of my favorite’s. A fellow lover of truth, humanity, freedom, and the Hero’s Journey. Enjoy the interview.

E268 Final Thoughts-

Basecamp for Men E266: Humility and the Hero’s Journey

E266: Humility and the Hero‘s Journey w Special Guest Beth Martens

 

E266 Introduction

Every once in in awhile, I come across a guest with similar interests as myself. I am not talking about sports or Bitcoin or the dismantling of the Deep State. All things I am deeply fascinated with.

No, the interests I am talking about is my long-term fascination and study of myth, archetypes, and the Hero’s Journey. These tools have taught me so much in such a short period of time, that is if you consider 20 or 25 years to be a short period of time. In may ways these things have made me who I am today.

When you work with archetypes and myth, something seems to awaken in your Soul. A remembrance perhaps. And a wisdom emerges. That my life belongs to something deeper and bigger than just myself and my little ego.

There is a very noticeable and powerful impact that living this way has on oneself and those around you. You no longer live this life with so much struggle and angst. Quite the contrary. There is a lightness emerges that comes with right-sizing the ego. The Divine Light (Christ, God, Goddess, however you conceive this Divinity) can shine through and speak through you. The seeker of the Grail becomes a resonance for others to also seek the Soul within.

The more you do this, the more you trust it. I have seen it a thousand times in both myself and those around me.

Something is emerging in humanity right now. We seem to be in the midst of reclaiming something that most people aren’t even aware that we had lost. It is the most fascinating time to be alive.

I am always grateful to speak to a fellow traveler. A woman who has done the work to understand both her own Hero’s Journey but also helps others make sense of their life chapters using this same powerful lenses and tools. Enjoy the interview!

Beth Martens Bio

My guest today is Beth Martens. Beth is a mystic and teacher, a musician, an author and a podcaster. She is also a woman with a deep knowledge of archetypes and the Hero’s Journey. Here is my interview w Beth Martens.

E266 Final Thoughts
