Basecamp for Men E252: The Way of the Soul

E252: The Way of the Soul with Special Guest Dr. James Hollis

 

E252 Introduction

Today‘s episode is a special one for me as I get to speak with someone so well versed in depth psychology and the way of the Soul. To me, these interviews have a timeless quality to them as my guest and I talk about life’s most important questions and how a brave and sensitive Soul might go about navigating these questions and finding a true path for oneself.

We seem to be in the midst of a profound collective identity crisis. And I believe it is a calling back to Soul itself that will most help humanity emerge with new perspectives, new life, and a renewed sense of vitality and purpose. Turbulent times seem to guide and prod us to find our deepest resources within.

Before we get to our excellent guest, I wanted to read you a passage from one of his 19 books.

“As children we suffer the wounds of too-muchness or not-enoughness, feeling overwhelmed or abandoned, and wind up adapting our Souls to protect our wounds.

What a difference it would make in the life of the child, and of the whole world, if the parent could repeatedly, sincerely, say ‘You are brought into life by nature having all you need. You have a great force, a great spirit, a great energy within.

Trust it, stay in contact with it, and it will always lead you towards what is right for you.”

Profound words from a very wise man. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E250: The War on Innocence

E250: The War on Innocence with Special Guest Simon Esler

 

E250 Introduction

Of all the issues that our world faces, there is perhaps no greater indicator of enemy and intent than the war on children and on innocence itself.

It’s interesting to note that citizen journalists have reported over 300,000 missing children from our border. Think about that! From the MSM, it has been fucking CRICKETS. No surprise there as they have been running cover for this for decades, haven”t they? 300,000 missing little ones and the Globalists have nothing to share with WE THE PEOPLE. Why not? Well, the CIA Mockingbird media work for our adversary and they exist to keep you in the dark. You know this already.

Do you think this number is exaggerated? By how much? Can you see the flawed logic? “There hasn’t been 300K, it has ONLY been 100k, or 80K, or 50K” Are you following me? Which is the acceptable number of missing children at our wide open southern border? Is there a number that is acceptable? To what ends?

In addition to gagging on this big old red pill is something even more insidious and clever. It is the war on innocence itself. This is directly impacting a whole generation or generation and a half. Kids are not left alone anymore, do you notice that? There seems to be no time in government indoctrination camps for innocent and imaginative play. Kids are hollered at to hurry up at lunch, where they are given 20 minutes total for lunch (which really amounts to 10 minutes with their friends). I witnessed this horrific ritual at our public school. The kids are not honored, not on a soul level. Everything is about obedience and compliance. The kids are not thriving, that much is crystal clear.

I had coffee with a new friend today and he talked about how great some of the public schools were when we were kids. And they were. There was a respect for country and a true desire to equip young people with math and reading and civics and even some critical thinking skills. All that has been pushed aside for Marxist ideology, Paulo Freire , and their woke, social justice nonsense. Every kid needs to be force-fed transgenderism. You know, in case they are confused. Kids are being dumbed down. I can’t say it with any more clarity than that.

This conflict has parents on one side and the Marxists/Communists on the other. Ask yourself this: Which side is fighting for kids and their innocence? Which side is fighting for more state-controlled indoctrination with its mandatory obedience and compliance.? Why do Communist and Marxist educators want to produce dumbed down kids who only spout THEIR ideas and agenda? Is there an agenda to produce a dumbed down populace? Hmm.

To quote the author and thought-leader Jimmy Song:

“Universities are useful idiot factories.”

Aho. Not to mention our public schools. I remember reading that author and three-time New York teacher of the year John Taylor Gatto and said that homeschool kids will end up way smarter and better off than your average public school kid. I wasn“t 100 percent sure what he meant 20 years ago. Boy, I sure know now and so do you. People are leaving public schools in droves. It’s a dying institution as more and more parents are realizing that keeping them away from Marxists who don’t like humanity is actually a way better option than subjecting their little ones to anymore of this nonsense.

Let’s renew a sense of innocence, both in ourselves and in the imaginative play of our kids. It is my belief that humans of all ages can carry a child-like curiosity and joy for life without sacrificing street smarts. The Communists/Globalists are counting on us abandoning this super power. We will not. It only takes a small band of parents and kids to say that we will live with our innocence and divinity intact, despite the attacks for us to win. And win we shall.

Today’s interview is Part 2 with the excellent Simon Esler. Enjoy our conversation!

E250 Final Thoughts

Well, we have a big election coming up, don’t we. It feels as if almost anything can happen, doesn’t it? People are waking up….lots of people. Is it enough to move us positively into our next golden chapter? Do we need to go around and around the Marxist toilet bowl and few more years. God, I hope not. Personally, I can’t handle seeing America Republic so disrespected and dishonored by the leaders of the American CORPORATION.

There are a LOT of chess pieces moving on the board. Devolution is lurking. Is the American Corporation about to lose its life support? Let’s keep alert and keep our collective cool while all of this plays out. I’m in the narrative trenches with you Basecampers. We’ll have another fire next week, we’ll see you there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E249: The Inverted Hero’s Journey

E249: The Inverted Hero’s Journey with Special Guest

Simon Esler

 

E249 Introduction

Well I did something that I rarely do on Basecamp. Turn an interview with an excellent guest into a two-parter. I have tried (in vain) to keep my episodes to 45 minutes or so. In the early seasons, 30 minutes was the norm. Now, as you know, it is often 45-60 minutes.

However, I don’t want  to go over an hour. If I am honest, I would love to get back to 30 minute episodes but I am following God’s plan for my guests and how long the episodes will be.

In Part one with my guest, we get into the power of rituals and rites of passage (something near and dear to me); the power of homeschooling and unschooling (something more and more parents are looking into these days); and how humanity’s enemy is using inversion tactics including an inverted Hero‘s Journey to capture the minds and hearts of our young people.

I always love sitting around the fire with a bright mind and today’s guest is certainly one of them. Enjoy the episode

E249 Final Thoughts

I hope you all enjoyed Part 1 with Simon Esler. In part two next week, we get into 5th Generation Warfare, the anti-children/anti-innocence culture that we find ourselves in and is this by design. We also cover the taboo topic of pedophilia and what sort of future is this all leading too? Thank you Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E248: “Health Care” is Making Us All Sick

E248: “Health Care” is Making Us All Sick

 

E248 Introduction

“Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.”

Aldous Huxley

 

At some point, the obviousness just hits you in the face. As you look at something called the “Health Care System” (what an Orwellian doublespeak that word is) and see the deep-seated corruption, the masses of unwell people who are plugged into it all. The rampant mental illness and addiction, new diseases and disorder being invented every day with products that have more and more side effects. An endless merry- go-round of poor health, bad advice, strange side effects, and with healthy dose of  fog of confusion and denial meant to keep the whole sick clown car rolling. I am not exaggerating, not even a little bit.

The massive financial incentives for hospital, medical centers, and doctors to keep their collective heads in the sand and shut up and go along with it is literally killing us. Doctors are good at going along with it, with juicy compensation packages keeping them docile and quiet. My take on medical doctors, nearly all of them are smart people… and most of them lack moral courage. They are cowards and if people are starting to ignore them (especially around the vast pharmaceutical products that so many of them are pushing), then good. I do not feel sorry for these people, how can you? They have been gatekeepers and purveyors of a system that is making us all sick.

I just have one thing to say about this situation….thank God for the courage of the nurses. Men and women like my guest today. They are front-line warriors that take their Hippocratic oath very seriously, something that many doctors have lost sight of.

People like my guest today used to be called conspiracy theorists. Today, she looks like a steely-eyed purveyors of Truth. Destiny has caught up with us as more and more people are getting out of the racket of blind trust in doctors, obedience to authority, and Big Pharma reliant, ill-health. Enjoy the episode!

Basecamp for Men E247: We Welcome Kennedy Liberals

E247: We Welcome Kennedy Liberals

with Special Guest Pamela Garfield Jaeger

 

E247 Introduction

When I had Dr. Mark McDonald on recently, he touched on something that really resonated with me. That traditional liberals (Kennedy liberals) and conservatives actually have a ton in common. That it is really the radical left that is causing the rift with their Marxist ideas of hate America, hate individual freedom, transgenderism and other weird notions disconnected from reality. The leftists, not to be confused with Kennedy liberals, are distorting the real dynamic by using the bullhorn of mainstream media and social media to drown out and attempt to suffocate any unity between conservatives and Kennedy liberals.

Sure, there are differences between these two sides but it is not a gulf. It is a stream that we can cross together, I believe.

These bridge-building episodes have been some of my favorites over the past two or three seasons and maybe my most important ones. I like to think that, even though I am a FORMER Kennedy liberal and I now embrace more libertarian and conservative values, my listeners can still hear my stand for humanity. And if Kennedy liberals and conservatives have much common ground, then this is the group that I want to speak to. Because if these two meet across the small stream we need to cross, then our best days in America are still ahead of us, despite the noise coming from the far left bunkers. Let’s keep finding common ground Basecampers, shall we?

I just love talking with my guest today as you can probably tell. Enjoy the interview.
