Basecamp for Men E202: Keeping Our Humanity

E202 Keeping Our Humanity with Special Guest Elisa E

 

E202 Introduction

Keeping our humanity. This seems to be a recurring theme with each and every guest I speak with. If you are even half-awake, you have no doubt noticed some disturbing signs in your city and town.

The homelessness and addiction. The pervasive mental health issues amongst every demographic group. The creeping sense of dread as if we are bracing for something……monumental and perhaps epoch defining. And collectively, we seem to have a combination of amnesia (as in we don’t really know our own Divinity or Soul’s Journey) and mid-level anxiety and fear that have become the water we are swimming in. Most of the people I observe looked frayed. As in torn and frayed. Those that took the jab are as my friend Mark Jeftovic has expressed “feeling like I have a ticking time bomb inside of me.”

And then there’s the lies and deception that are pushed at us daily. What does it do to the Soul to never be told the truth about anything important? How do we not only survive the toxic enslaught but learn to transmute and transcend the lead into gold? How do we not only survive but come out stronger, more aligned with the Light of the Christ, and more clear in our path together? These are the steps we are learning together. I am in this with all of you.

 

Before we get to the interview, I have a couple of quotes from my guests website to help tee this one up.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edward Burke

“There is a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot.”John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States of America, 7 days before his assassination in 1963.

Enjoy the interview.

Elisa E Bio

Elisa E is a survivor of MK Ultra programming born in New Jersey in the early 1960’s. Her story crosses the MK Ultra trauma-based programming of that era and runs into the technological advancements in the 1990’s. As a survivor and support person to other survivors, she chose to update her books in 2022 as a witness to what is occurring globally since late 2019. Her insights remain important du to the eyes to see and ears to hear beyond the narrative and into the esoteric agenda she has lived through. Here is my interview with Elisa E.

E202 Final Thoughts-

I so enjoyed this conversation and I appreciate Elisa‘s insights and courage to come onto Basecamp to share. In fact, when we were done recording, I immediately had a slew of new questions for her. We are talking one-to-one this week and hopefully, we’ll find a way to do a Part 2 of this sometime soon.

Her book is Our Life Beyond MK Ultra and you can find it on independent bookseller LogoSophia Books. A great opportunity to give your dollars to an independent business and not Amazon. They are at LogoSophiaBooks.com.

And the great Rudolph Steiner. A true visionary and mystic. One of our best. He was such a  prolific writer! One can spend a whole lifetime studying Steiner and still only scratch the surface, it seems. Essential material. You can Google Anthroposophy Rudolph Steiner and find lots of reading material.Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

Basecamp for Men E194: Bitcoin and Proof of Work

E194: Bitcoin and Proof of Work with Special Guest John Haar

 

E194 Introduction

Today is a bit longer of an interview so I want to get right to it. What sorts of possibilities does Bitcoin and sound money present to humanity? I think that many people probably lump in Bitcoin with the rest of the Crypto space, not understanding the differences and thinking it was a flash in the pan and they didn’t need to take time to truly learn and start to understand it.

Bitcoin represents something that we have not seen. A sound form of money that is incorruptible, transparent, and whose value is derived from its fixed supply-21 million. As in there will only EVER be 21 million BTC.

Juxtaposed next to the systemic corruption of the fiat system, where central banks constantly debase our money by printing more and more of it. The more they print, the less your dollar is worth, which naturally leads to inflation and ultimately hyper-inflation.

And Bitcoin is getting closer to its big moment as presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy Jr. comes out in favor of it and even buys 2 BTC for each of his seven children. How cool is that. I don’t know if Kennedy will win the democratic nomination (there are powerful, corrupt forces that do not want him to win) but I love where he is going with this.

Today my guest and I talk far and wide about Bitcoin and also introduced the concept of Proof of Work and what that means for you and I. Enjoy the interview.

John Haar Bio

My guest today is John Haar. He is a passionate Bitcoiner, student of Austrian Economics, and advocate for sound money.

E194 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our conversation with John Haar over at Swan. I know I learned a lot talking with him. Go start learning about Bitcoin! And if you’re ready to start stacking sats, go set up an account at Swan Bitcoin. They have everything you need!

 

Basecamp for Men E193: Fisherman’s Blues

E193: Fisherman’s Blues

 

E193 Introduction

Today is a different sort of episode for me, I spoke of it a couple of weeks ago. It’s a short format Firestarter but it is around a musical and mythical theme. As you know myth and activating the mythic imagination is something I highly value as I believe that there are important messages encoded in myth and poetry and certain music.

Activating your mythic imagination has a multi-tiered impact on humans and human consciousness. First off, it connects us to the Divine, however each one of us conceives the Divine. It is from this place that one can properly receive inspiration and instructions. The attuned human becomes a divining rod, a fleet-footed messenger (as they say) of flying metaphors and fleeting imagery that instructs the next generation of adepts as to where the faint trail of the masters is hidden.

Myth and imagination are full of magic, synchronicity, divine inspiration, and a sense of destiny. Humans, if we are to emerge into a new golden age (a renaissance, something I believe is currently unfolding) will need to listen to the whispers of the wind (so to speak) as the noise and distraction and technological wizardry are pushed at us in hopes we can‘t find the signal. But humans are tuned into the signal, aren’t we Basecampers. Yes we are. Yes we are.

So it is with this as a backdrop that I came up with this little creative spark.

This whole idea of setting a short episode to music came from listening to the Waterboys Fisherman’s Blues. The song came on my playlist, a playlist titled All-Time Favorites and I listened as if hearing it for the first time, enchanted.

I started to wonder how this magical little song helped me along the way. Stirring my imagination, giving me medicine for the Hero’s Journey. It kept finding me here and there over the years, affirming my awakening. God smiling at my progress.

One of the things about the song Fisherman’s Blues is it harkens us back to the Grail. Back to the Fisher King, who is waiting for salvation and healing from his wound.

Basecampers, open up your ears and your mythic imagination. I bring you The Waterboys Fisherman‘s Blues.
