Basecamp E82: The Myth of the Grail with Tony Rezac

E82: The Myth of the Grail with Tony Rezac

 

E82 Introduction-

Why does the myth of the Grail still enchant us? What is it about it? Its instruction, its hidden meanings, its mystery? As you begin to engage with this myth, something starts to stir in you. If myths carry information and transformative images over time and generations, then this one packs a punch.  You can tell as soon as you start to step into it.

I found this episode to be a daunting task. This myth is mighty and commands my respect. I sense all the powerful beings that are connected to this story. My best option, and the one I took, is to approach it like Parzival, the innocent fool who becomes the hero of the story. Step into the myth in an unsophisticated way and allow it to shape this communication with you.

We must remember that a myth is a living entity and exists within every person. You will get the true, living form of the myth if you can see it as it spins away inside yourself. When working with a myth, it is good to keep in mind that the characters are representatives of all the various levels of consciousness or parts of ourselves as we seek to put ourselves back together. The boundaries between literal and psychological, inner and outer, symbolic and actual, part and whole, microcosm and macrocosm- become very fluid and porous…..

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Basecamp for Men E71: Bringing Truth into the Light

E71: Bringing Truth into the Light with Special Guest Howard Ferguson

 

E71 Introduction-

We sit at the precipice. The completion of 2020 and the start of what will be an epic 2021 for humanity. If you have been listening and investigating, you are certainly finding some interesting truth threads. They are everywhere these days.

It seems that we are being asked to integrate conflicting narratives right now.  How will you process information that makes you angry or upset? How will you treat people that have a drastically different viewpoint from you? Will the left hand and right hand continue to condescend and project onto one another? Can you find the higher ground in the coming days? If you do, I promise you will receive exactly what you need to understand what is unfolding.

The new information that is coming into your awareness now and into early 2021 will be some of the most important information you will process in your lifetime. Can you make room? Can you let go of your preconceived notions? Can you recognize what is happening? In humanity? In the world? In yourself?

We enter 2021 with a sense of excitement and trepidation. Something big is upon us. The Hero has prepared and has taken a hunter’s stance.

Howard Ferguson Bio-

My guest today is a friend, entrepreneur, restaurateur, and fellow seeker of Truth. Howard Ferguson is a man known as straight-shooter, a truth teller, and someone who is able to integrate new information and form it into a collective vision of what is happening and where we might be going.

Here is my interview with Howard Ferguson.

E71 Final Thoughts-

I hope you enjoyed our time with our friend Howard Ferguson. A few resources for you for the upcoming year. I HIGHLY recommend my teacher Patrick Conner’s New Year Intention meditation. If you go to www.sharmada.org  you will see it right there at the top of the first page and its free.

Howard recommended the Heart Math Institute; Dr. Joe Dispenza and his excellent book Becoming Supernatural; and Dr. Bruce Lipton’s Spontaneous Evolution.

I also love what Howard said about accessing Heart coherence. It’s not only for your health and spiritual well-being but as a way to fine-tune your instrument for resonating with truth. Seems like a good thing for us to continue to develop right now.

Basecamp for Men E66: The Truth is also Seeking the Seeker

E66: The Truth is also Seeking the Seeker

with Special Guest Marie Jones

 

E66 Introduction-

“The Truth is also seeking the Seeker.”

Here we are, in our collective Hero’s Journey. Each contributing what he or she is able to. We started with myth and men’s work,  gathering our resources and seeing which tools we would need for the next chapters of our Hero’s Journey. We’ve talked to men and women about the most important topics that we can find, leaving no stone unturned.

We are coming up on a series of episodes that are very important for us as a tribe. The faint trail of the Hero has taken us out into the darkness, out to our edges.

You may disagree with the information I am uncovering or even get mad and triggered. That is fine with me. It is to be expected. I honor where you are at in your awakening. I really do.

There is something that has been hidden from our view that has slowly emerged in our inner vision.  We are finally seeing it clearly. We have arrived at a threshold. The Truth is, indeed,  seeking the Seeker. We have traversed the landscape, found our allies, and now confront a dark dragon. One that many of us did not know that we would have to face.

So we continue along the faint trail, picking up allies and using our sense of Truth as our compass and guide. The Hero in the story is developing latent and long-dormant abilities that he or she will need for the coming chapter. We are pre-destined to awaken, you and I. This, it seems, has already been written.

There is a sense of Divine intervention in these episodes for me. The subject matter has evolved but he foundation remains the same. I hold the question “What do we need for our next chapters?”  Then I listen and follow the instructions. My guests have all arrived at Basecamp for Men through this process.

Today’s guest shares my love of the Divine and myth and the mystery of our collective Journey.

E66 Final Thoughts-

The second half of our conversation reminded me of a quote by the Indian author Arundhati Roy. She says:

“THE SYSTEM will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling- their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

Basecamp for Men E53: Envisioning Our Future

E53: Envisioning Our Future with Special Guest Ian Mackenzie

 

E53 Introduction

In the coming episodes, I hope to speak with more futurists and visionaries. I like to have conversations about what is possible as we navigate change.

I am reminded of a Kurt Vonnegut quote. He said,“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things that you can’t see from the center.”

It is good for us to listen to alternative perspectives and ideas. It sharpens our intellect and keeps our brains working well. You may not agree or can envision these ideas bearing fruit. But new systems are often started by visionaries and futurists who try and sketch out what they are seeing. And we, as early adopters of these new ideas, work to turn these ideas over in our conscious and sub-conscious minds. Working the fertile ground of our imagination. Trying our best to allow others to contribute as we seek our own place and contribution to the greater good.

I am at a point in my life where I don’t want to close off an idea because it initially feels “out there”. Our greatest transformations, both external and internal, may come from these very esoteric and edgy ideas and concepts.

My guest today is someone I have a great deal of respect for, both as filmmaker and a futurist.
