Basecamp for Men E301: The Cosmic Clock Turns

E301: The Cosmic Clock Turns

 

E301 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Today is a Firestarter Episode. Firestarters were created years ago and they are basically a shorter format episode with just me. I sprinkle these in throughout each season to add variety and they give me the opportunity to stretch out some of my writing and thinking on a variety of topics.

As a proud member of team humanity, I have witnessed the devastating effects of the war of wars on our bodies, minds, and Souls.

When I drive around my city, Seattle, I see heartbreaking evidence of this war. Addiction, mental illness, homelessness, a sort of spiritual confusion as to what the hell just happened or IS happening.

And you can see the confusion in the masses as well. People still triggered by things that happened years ago or things that are not true at all. It is all a bit surreal, isn‘t it?

One of the things that I have noticed and commented on before is the uglification of everything we see around us. Have you noticed this all you city dwellers? It is in all our cities but most evident in the liberal run cities.

It is not just witnessing all the despair and addiction and mental illness. That is ugly and distressing in and of itself. It’s the filth and the garbage and feces and then there is the “new” architecture. Much of it is also ugly. City planners will happily tear down houses and buidings that are old and beautiful to make room for ugly structures that don’t inspire.

And then there is the ugliness in advertising. They used to try and put beautiful imagery in front of you to try and keep your attention. Now? They will put people and images meant to sort of shock you and shake your head. Super Bowl halftime shows, for instance. More and more Satanic imagery, blood red as the dominant color, weird Baphomet imagery, horns, the one-eye covered to show their allegiances to the Dark Lord.

What is the impact of all this ugliness? Well, what are you seeing? I think it is clearly meant to demoralize all of us, don’t you?

Think about the Renaissance for a minute. EVERYTHING was meant to inspire us and bring us closer to God. All the artists and creators clearly said so. So the architecture reached for the heavens. Look at the beautiful cathedrals and castles of Europe. Or the beautiful buildings and Grand Central Station in NYC.

Musicians like Mozart and Bach and Beethoven tried their best to express and awaken the God spark in each and every one of us. Shakespeare and poets did their part to remind us all of who we are.

Currently, we cannot confirm our immanent ascension and embrace of the Divine with what we see OUTSIDE of ourselves, in our surroundings. Are you following me? We can’t win by looking at what they are attempting to do to demoralize us. Our Divine power comes from within. Just as Christ himself said.

Sometimes I think of our Divinity, our alignment with God and Spirit as a sort of innocence. The War on Humanity has been an all out attempt to sever our belief and connection to God.

And it has been a war on children. Both children themselves and the inner child, full of innocence and wonder at the mystery of it all, that lives in each and every one of us.

I see a sacred duty for all of us here. To keep the Divine flame strong in ourselves AND to keep the innocence of the little boy and little girl that live in each and every one of us.

It does not mean that we act childish in all sorts of ways. Far from it. It means we are in touch with our Source and that we have something inside of us that we are sworn to protect. The Divine Child, who has been under constant assault by those that hate humanity.

The narrative war and cosmic chess game has many layers. Reality consisting of frequency and vibration and resonance. What is true for you may not be true for others. What is occurring resists easy dismissives. If reality and WE OURSELVES are multi-dimensional, then The great Cosmic Game becomes a individual AND collective Hero’s Journey for all.

How do YOU connect and align with what is most Divine, most Christ-inspired, most dignified and, indeed, most beautiful and innocent in YOU?

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basecamp for Men E300: UnHypnotized

E300: UnHypnotized with Special Guest Heather Keys

 

E300 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Our 300th episode! Wow! Hard to believe we are starting to come into the home stretch of season #7. It has been an absolute honor to be your captain on this journey through all sorts of twists and turns humanity these past few years.

I have no intention of quitting anytime soon. I figure as long as there are some courageous souls that find this broadcast truthful or uplifting or funny or helpful in any way, then it is my sacred duty to keep writing and keep interview great guests.

A little preview of things to come. Next week I think I am doing a Firestarter solo episode. And we will go on sabbatical for the Holidays in late November for a few weeks to creatively recharge. And I am retiring from my long-time steady, Eddy gig at the Washington Athletic Club. I am envisioning my next chapters of MY Hero’s Journey and want to write more, explore some different directions in alternative health and even some entrepreneurial opportunities in the Bitcoin space.

I will keep you all posted. I couldn’t have asked for a better guest for E300. I hope to come onto her show and have her back on here in Season 8.

We range around all the topics I love: Re-wiring neural pathways, the Hero’s Journey, getting out of your comfort zone, the cultural hypnosis of Covid, and how Bitcoin is a magnet for high-vibration individuals.

Go make yourself a cup of tea and join us by the fire. And thanks for listening to Basecamp for Men as we set sail for another 100 episodes. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E299: What Keeps Us From One Another?

E299: What Keeps Us From One Another?

 

E299 Introduction

I love speaking with people who are a stand for humanity and children. And who carry truth and optimism about our future. There is a wonderful strength to these people that flies in the face of all the doom and gloom that we all hear.

Today, my guest and I range far and wide but one of the takeaways is the desire for unification in our country. Both sides have been traumatized by the divide. Family and long-time friend groups pulled apart by differences of opinion and the engine of social media that seems to know just how to trigger all of us.

One of the things I that came away with is my own desire to hear the other side. I think I have finally set aside my own hurt over having dear friends leave my orbit and I feel more steady now. Less reactive. And ready to serve more of humanity. Not just my fellow Conservatives. My guest and I share stories and a similar desire to start to heal what has ailed our fellow Americans, regardless of political orientation.

Today’s interview is a really good one and a little longer than usual so let’s get right to it.

 Jessica Arburn Bio

My guest today is Jessica Arburn. Jessica is mother, a patriot, and another walkaway from the left. She is also the Director of Mom-Army, a group of courageous women standing to protect our children . Here is my interview with Jessica Arburn.

E299 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Always great to connect with Jessica. I love people that are open to new conversations and I am looking forward to the Dad Army get together that Jessica mentioned. We’ll give you details as we know more.

 

Basecamp for Men E298: Basecamp Classic

E298: Basecamp Classic

 

E298 Introduction

Well, with all sorts of things going on including getting over to our new house in central Washington and my beloved Seattle Mariners making the playoffs and scoring tickets, I just ran out of runway to get you something useful by Tues.

But do not fear Basecampers, we have our trusty Basecamp Classics where I take a real gem from our extensive back catalogue and offer it to you again. These are not random selections. I do my best to get you some of my best content and episodes that still feel really relevant to what is going on in the world and what might be going on with you personally.

This one is from back in season #4 with James Rapson titled Freeing Yourself from “Niceness”. It is perfect for all you people-pleasers out there and I used to be one of them. A healthy dose of menswork cured me of it and James and I talk all about it in the episode.

Also, I want to write a short episode on the storm that we are all facing. It seems the rapidly changing landscape is creating all sorts of inner chaos and turmoil as we all prepare for our black belt test in how fast can you integrate new inputs and a changing reality. Are you following me? I think I can write a juicy Firestarter in the next week or two.

For the time being, enjoy this Basecamp Classic with James Rapson.

Basecamp for Men E297: Bitcoin Simplifies Life

E297: Bitcoin Simplifies Life with Special Guest Pete Noble

 

E297 Introduction

I LOVE talking to Bitcoiners! There is, not only an enthusiasm and excitement that is contagious but also a sense of possibility for the future coupled with a steely-eyed look at the current decaying monetary system that is irresistible to me. In short, Bitcoiners know some things. Things that not everyone knows yet. If this ruffles your feathers because you are a so-called “smart technologist”, neither my guest nor I really give two fucks. Are you following me? Sorry to be so crass out of the gate but there are some serious misconceptions about money that 99 percent of the population holds close.

I have a really interesting interview with a new friend today but first a couple of memes to capture the spirit of what we will be talking about. 

The first is from IG (I think from The Black Robinhood) and titled “If You’re Still Saving in Dollars, You Don’t Understand Money.

Here’ why: the dollar isn’t designed to hold value- it’s designed to lose it. Inflation is built into the system. Central banks print trillions, governments spend recklessly, and your “savings” melt away year after year. Bitcoin flips that script.

With a fixed supply of 21 million, Bitcoin is mathematically scarce. No one can print more. Every four years, new supply gets cut in half. Demand grows, supply shrinks and over time, price compounds.

Saving in dollars = guaranteed loss

Saving in Bitcoin = protection + exponential upside

When you stack in Bitcoin, you‘re not just saving money-you’’re saving your time, labor, and freedom in a form that can’t be inflated away.

People who dismiss Bitcoin expose themselves: they don’t actually understand what money is supposed to do- and that is store value over time.

Fiat fails that test. Bitcoin passes with flying colors. The question isn’t “Why Bitcoin?”. It’s “Why are you still trusting melting dollars?”

And another interesting tidbit for you. Young Hoon Kim, The man who holds the Guiness World Record for highest IQ of 276 has converted all his assets into Bitcoin believes that Bitcoin will 100 X in 10 years and become the world reserve currency. And is quoted as saying “Bitcoin is the only hope for the future economy.” So….. for all you smarty pants out there. The man with an IQ of 276 has done the proof of work and is putting his chips on Bitcoin. Do you think it might be worth a bit of study for you? Don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger.

I really love today’s interview. Enjoy!

Pete Noble Bio-

My guest today is Pete Noble. Pete is a hustband and father, a man who has worked in technology for decades, and an enthusiastic Bitcoiner. Here is my interview w Pete Noble. 

E297 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. We will be keeping track of Pete and all the developments and ideas that spring forth in the Bitcoin space. What an exciting time to be alive! Thank you Basecampers!
