Basecamp for Men E111: You Have to Show the People

E111: You Have to Show the People with Special Guest Richard Citizen Journalist

We are in a most interesting, surreal moment in history, aren’t we? Never before have so many of us seen the obvious lies and deceit of the MSM. People are turning away in droves, looking for truth and how to make sense of this through new avenues and channels such as Telegram and Project Veritas.

I respect where you are right now my listeners, wherever you at at. I remember how difficult my own awakening has been at times, especially at the beginning. You feel like Neo from the Matrix, throwing up as one Morpheus or another lays down another truth bomb meant to help you see. We all wanted a cushy, fun adventure in life. Turns out we made a choice to incarnate here during the apex of a system-wide takedown and meltdown.

I wonder how long before the public realizes we are at war with the CCP and that this war involves our 2020 election and the weaponized, gain of function Covid-19 virus? It can’t be long now. A few more weeks? A few more months? It’s coming. You can see it barreling down the tracks.

The conventional military stand-off in Taiwan seems to be just tip of the iceberg. A natural extension of the hidden cyber and information war that has been raging for years. The fact that it is bubbling up into conventional warfare tells us that it is coming to a head (literally) and will be hard to ignore.

The mainstream media continues to use a mushroom farmers technique on WE THE PEOPLE: Keep us in the dark and feed us shit. But people are waking up. I can sense it. Are you gently red-pilling your friends and family? At least the ones with an open enough mind to look at alternative data sets and a different meta-view as to what is unfolding?

We will be tracking this closely now. What is happening in the world and what is happening in consciousness are a mirror image. As we dissolve illusory boundaries between us, so the world will show its foundational unity to us. The lies that the media so obviously pushes at us don’t match the frequency or vibration of who we are becoming. We have the high ground. Frequency-wise, intention-wise. We will all be arriving together at a place that is new and strangely familiar.

Before we get to our interview, I would like to read you a quote by the great Mark Twain who says “In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

Keep up the good work my friend. I honor your courage and open-mindedness. Let’s go talk to another courageous man, Richard Potcner.

Richard Potcner Bio-

My guest today is a citizen journalist and Patriot with one of the most watched channels on Telegram. Richard Potcner, aka Richard Citizen Journalist as he is known on Telegram. He criss-crosses the United States with videos that often show the incongruences and deception of the MSM. Here is my interview with Richard Potcner.

E111 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed my interview with Richard Potcner. I encourage everyone to make their way to Telegram. It is, for now, the hub of WE THE PEOPLE. Telegram does not censor the citizen journalists and writers that are posting there, so you will certainly read and hear truth bombs that MSM is not going to show you. I am seeing more and more curious liberals making their way there and that makes sense to me. It is hard to get a clear picture without this piece, I would think.

The Devolution series by Patel Patriot is a must read for every American. There are 11 or 12 parts to Devolution now plus a couple of Addendum‘s. Devolution will help you understand what is unfolding, no matter your political orientation. You can find Devolution on Patel Patriot’s TG channel or on Substack at patelpatriot.subtstack.com.

 

 

Basecamp for Men E110: The Heartbeat of Our Counter Narrative

E110: The Heartbeat of Our Counter Narrative

 

E110 Introduction

Hello listeners, I hope you are well. I recently did an interview with Roy Holman’s Soulful Warrior podcast. I took a listen to the interview and thought you would appreciate it here.

Roy and I talk about men’s work, the spiritual and information war that is upon us and the current state of the world. I think it is particularly valuable for each of us to be in conversations about how we go about elevating our narrative. It is how we claim the higher ground. In a war, the higher ground has the advantage.

There is something emerging on the radar for me. As I see it, how we weave this narrative using myth, archetypes, and Divine partnership will ultimately be our legacy.

Our political differences are about to mean absolutely NOTHING my friend. I am in your hands and you are in mine. I trust that you are doing the messy, sometimes challenging work of awakening yourself to truth. We prepare ourselves and one another for the historic time we are about to step into.

Here is the interview. I hope you enjoy it.

E110 Final Thoughts

I hope you found that interview valuable. I like being on the other end of the interview from time to time as it allows me to express certain truths in a slightly different way. More off the cuff.

The piece about awakening and strengthening the collective King is, I believe, our edge. Since this is our edge, we will be returning to this archetype and idea again and again in the coming months as I feel this is how we help move the narrative upwards and in our favor.

One last thing, If you find this show valuable. If you sense that you will hear things here that you don’t elsewhere and this content helps you, please share this with a friend, family member, or colleague. Man or woman. Someone that you would like to see inside of this story with us. I appreciate your trust and you have my word that we will continue to bring you truth, wisdom, and a love of our mutual humanity.

 

 

Basecamp for Men E107: Dealing with Ourselves

E107 Dealing with Ourselves

 

E107 Introduction

One thing that we have come to understand through all this is that we are in a messy process. We are, as a tribe, learning how to deal with uncertainty and chaos. It is all around us right now. And my sense is that we also learning how to develop our inner knowing and our connection to the Divine light. For some this will be through Church and the Light of Christ. For others it will be a Gnostic path with Goddess motifs and the natural world. For still others, it may be an eastern wisdom tradition or aplant medicine of one kind or another to help accelerate this inner knowing. All roads lead to the mountaintop, as the mystic would say.

The process is always messy. Never neat and tidy. As we deal with our repression, denial, trauma, and amnesia. Many of us are working our way out of a kind of numbness that we have used to try to insulate us from the pain of separation or trauma. Others are working through the fog of disinformation that acts like a pollution in our minds. Making it difficult to see the truth or the Divine Light and to know which way is up and out of this mess.

How do we meet one another “where we are.” Knowing that where you are and where I am might be quite different. How do we get our arms around everyone we care about, which is this whole tribe that is in our care. It is my belief and my vision that we are entering a whole new chapter of our collective Hero’s Journey. We will leave cynicism and disbelief and habitually dark patterning behind us.

We are all, you and I, learning to hold the Light for one another. When one of us slips, another stops to help them up. This is our alchemy and our work. We are all in this together, working to elevate one another.  Hang in there for we are almost to the next chapter of our story.

Ben Bio-

Because of the nature of our conversation today, my guest wants to be able to speak freely and remain somewhat anonymous and we will use only his first name.

Ben is a friend, a software developer and spiritual warrior. He leads men’s groups and a Brazilian church that uses Ayehuasca or plant medicine as their sacrament. Something we talk about in today’s episode. Here is my interview w my good friend Ben.

E107 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Ben. I love how authentic and heart-centered Ben is. It was fascinating to me how his work in a church with plant medicine looks a lot light a laboratory that shows us what we are all going through. Processing fear and uncertainty, healing trauma, letting go of ego and habitual ways of doing and seeing things.

It stood out to me when Ben said that in his work, the medicine is the body or Consciousness of Christ. I could feel the power and truth in this declaration.

Not everything is the way we once thought it was. It seems right now, EVERYONE is having to navigate this. THE TRUTH IS ALSO SEEKING THE SEEKER.

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E106: Shaping Our Narrative

E106 Shaping Our Narrative with Special Guest Roy Holman

 

E106 Introduction

I love to interview people who can see patterns and speak with depth. It has always been my aim that Basecamp for Men would be a trusted source of resources and wisdom. So it is not an accident that I gravitate towards guests that express Soul.

For it is in this quality of earthiness or Soul that our ancient teachings can reach us. When each of us humbly does our work, we prepare ourselves for Divine messages and inspiration. We are the vessel for what is emerging.

I sometimes can barely contain my excitement for what is starting to crest in WE THE PEOPLE. Will we win? Or will fascism prevail? As we continue to anchor our thoughts, emotions, and intentions in the higher planes or dimensions, we all help to bring forth the new age we all seek. America will certainly lead as she always does.

It seems we are all just now discovering that there is another dream that is looking for us. Can you sense it? Are you participating? Our collective Hero’s Journey is about to turn another page. Let’s take a deep breath and continue to move into our story with courage.

Roy Holman Bio

My guest today is Roy Holman. Roy is a meditation and yoga teacher, a lover of nature, and the creator and host of the podcast The Soulful Warrior. Here is my interview with Roy Holman.

Basecamp for Men E103: Freeing Yourself from “Niceness”

E103:Freeing Yourself from “Niceness” with Special Guest James Rapson

 

E103 Introduction

One of the common things I see men struggle with is how do you break out of this people pleasing fixation. It is the curse of Nice Guys and Nice Girls. You always need to be getting your approval and validation “over there”. It seems that, if this was a strategy we used as children, unaddressed, this coping pattern will continue to assert itself, showing us in spades that simply pleasing others with our niceness is an insufficient strategy if we are to navigate  our lives in more heroic and authentic ways.

I used to be a full on people-pleaser. No shit. Many from my past might remember this side of me.  A Nice Guy. UGH!! Now I see that it was all part of my development as a man. I needed to outgrow this immature, validation-seeking part of myself. And I had many teachers along the way. Particularly when I got involved with the Mankind Project.

I remember when I first got initiated by MKP and attending my very first men’s wisdom councils. I couldn‘t believe how these guys spoke to one another. There was a rough-and-tumble honesty among the men and complete disregard for being nicey-nice.  These men commanded respect with their truthfulness and authenticity.

It wasn’t that these men were just being assholes, although sometimes this happened when a man was triggered. It’s that they had a freedom of expression that was not bound by the Nice Guy mold. I  would use these chapters in my life to grow past the old Happy-Go-Lucky Nice Boy that was such a dominant part of my young adult life. The Warrior archetype would finish him off in my forties as my inner strength as a man grew.

I still know many men that are hemmed in by incessant people-pleasing. It‘s widespread. My guest today wrote a book and knows a lot about this topic. I’m looking forward to dialoguing with him.
