Basecamp for Men E293:Basecamp Classic

E293: Basecamp Classic

 

E293 Introduction

Well, I had an interview that fell through this past week and I’m travelling a bit. So I thought it would be a perfect time for a Basecamp Classic. These are top-shelf replays of episodes done in past seasons.

What I do is look over my list and then read over the notes for the top two or three and then select the best one. I thought this one was particularly interesting as we are talking about navigating the chaos and messiness of the times we’re living in using your own inner knowing as a compass. These themes hold up well, don’t they Basecampers?

The original title was Dealing with Ourselves with my old friend Ben. Enjoy this Classic and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

The American Pulse E22: Be Who You Are

E22: Be Who You Are with Special Guest Jim Rosemary

 

E22 Introduction

Whenever I talk to everyday Americans, like my guest today, I am reminder how Americans of all political stripes share so many common values. We all want safe, thriving communities to live and raise families in. Talk to anyone in your neighborhood and you’ll see this is true.

Yet, the mainstream media who represents the Globalist Agenda, simply will not recognize all of the common ground we share with Americans who vote differently than we do.

The more conversations I have, the more convinced I have become that, to truly unite Americans, more and more of us need to have the courage to have conversations with Americans across the political spectrum.

I would like to raise the bar on the American Pulse. My original intention was to have Democrats, Liberals, Centrists, and Conservatives on the show. But I have yet to be able to talk to a Democrat. I have only asked two but the response after looking at the show notes was no.

But I am going to renew my efforts. I don’t want to turn the Pulse into a debate forum. That is not my style. But to truly ask liberals and others on to better understand their values would be outstanding I think. As American Pulse listeners please send us any ideas for this. Who do you know who is NOT a die-hard Republican that may be game to come on the show? They will be treated with the utmost respect and never belittled or embarrassed, I promise you.

Thank you listeners and now on to this good interview.

E22 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. Jim is so insightful on how to unite Americans, isn’t he. Let’s all take a deep breath, step into our courage (which is an American trait btw) and go open ourselves to new people. Thank you listeners and we’ll see you next time on The American

Basecamp for Men E292: Creating a Personal Myth

E292: Creating a Personal Myth w Special Guest Patrick Christell

 

E292 Introduction

The topic of myth and narrative, story and mythic imagination is something that I have been fascinated by for decades. My life has been immersed in mythic imagination since I was a boy, really. Even my sports heroes and sports stories I gravitated to and followed as a child had mythic undertones, unbeknownst to me at the time.

And I believe we all long to live by myth. To have our lives have this sort of magical quality to them. I believe that deep down, we all want to live more courageously. Or to follow the path of the Light or the path of the Divine, the path of God, whatever that means to you. Or to really live by our highest spiritual knowing and our highest truth, are you following me?

In short, we were built for more than just work and a few laughs. We’ve just forgotten. A type of mythic amnesia has set in.

It seems the mass consciousness of the human race is looking for these threads right now, doesn’t it? Things seem to be teetering a bit, right? Nobody knows exactly what is going on or what is about to happen. It is times like these where myth is so valuable. By leaning into mythic possibilities, we open up new neuropathways that helps us set a new course in life. Both for ourselves and for our tribe.

Yet, so few reach this point. Why is that? Too many beautiful human Souls coast through life, resting on what has already happened, giving up their sovereignty and ability to set their own course. I believe if more of us were actively engaged in growing our mythic imaginations and living by a personal myth, you would see a lot more courageous people in the world. And God knows, the world NEEDS courageous people right now, doesn’t it?

My guest today is all about building a personal mythic narrative for oneself. I thoroughly enjoyed his company and this conversation. Enjoy.

Basecamp for Men E289: Informing Humanity

E289: Informing Humanity w Special Guest Dr. Chris Shoemaker MD

 

E289 Introduction

I was texting back and forth with an old friend of mine. A woman who is a conservative and she recently married a wonderful man who happens to be a slightly left-leaning centrist. She exclaimed that he has been red-pilled. When I asked what and how? She explained to me that he still doesn‘t like Donald Trump but he agrees with all almost all of his policies. And then she said something that I am seeing more and more of. She said that he is really mad about the Covid vaccines. Hmm. Yes, this seems to be the great red-pill that is being processed right now. Or at least one of them.

Why is that? Well, we have a few years under our belt and the cascade of damning evidence and data from the vaccine makers themselves like Pfizer and Moderna is confirming everyone’s greatest fear. The shots were not what they claimed them to be. Far from it.

It seems that everyone knows people that are suffering under some terrible health condition or another following the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th Covid booster. And to further illustrate the point, the unvaccinated are clearly doing much better than the vaccinated. The data also shows that as well and in overwhelming numbers.

I am not doing these post-Covid episodes as a ha-ha-ha to anyone or to rub your noses in anything. I just want to put the nail in the coffin of any blind trust we might put in the future in the so-called “authorities” like the deeply corrupt and psychopathic doctor Anthony Fauci or Bill Gates or Big Pharma captured doctors or organizations with the WHO.

We all want informed consent. Meaning if you are going to do a clinical trial on all of us, show us how it has been tested and let all doctors weigh in on it, not just the doctors who are working for Big Pharma or Globalist health orgs with eugenicist agendas. Give us the truth, let us hear the authentic pros and cons, and we can all decide for ourselves and our families. Wink wink.

I really enjoyed today’s guest, a long-time medical doctor who was punished for speaking the truth. We’ll go over some staggering numbers from Pfizer’s own data and see how it all fits together for you. If the vast majority of us can come to a sort of agreement on what just happened, then God willing, we can avoid more terrible health choices for our kids and grandkids. I wish you all, no matter your vaccination status or political orientation, good vibrant health for your and your loved ones. God Bless you Basecampers.

Dr. Chris Shoemaker Bio

Basecamp for Men E287: Why Can’t We Talk About This?

E287: Why Can’t We Talk About This?

 

E287 Introduction

I was having a conversation with a woman the other day, someone I didn‘t know all that well and the topic of Covid vaccines came up. She brought it up, not me. She asked me what I thought and I sort of chuckled. “What do you want to know?”

Well, she said first do you mind if I ask you if you got any of them. I said I don’t mind the question at all and no, I did not take any of the Covid jabs nor did my wife and son. She went on the say that she knows a lot of people having issues, herself included and she is thinking that it might have something to do with the vaccines. I just listened.

Until she said this, she said “I don’t think we’ll know for years who made the right choice, the vaccinated or the unvaccinated.” I stopped here there. I said no, I agree that each person has to choose for themselves. But I told her something that I have said on this show a couple of times and it illustrates that we don’t need to wait to find out “made the right choice.”

I told her I know lots of people in both camps: the unvaccinated and the vaccinated. Of the unvaccinated I don’t know a SINGLE person who regrets not getting them. In fact, the overall sentiment is one of gratitude for not taking them. As in Thank You God for telling me not to get it, sort of thing.

And I told her that of the vaccinated, I simply know LOTS who, given the choice again WOULD NOT take the vaccine. Lots in that group that have regrets. Not everyone, but many. Lots of

Was I too harsh with her? I hope not. I just wanted her to know how the unvaccinated think about this. We are not waiting a few more years to assess whether we made the right choice. Are you following me?

My guest today has made an important documentary titled “Why Can’t We Talk About This?” about this very topic. I hope you enjoy the interview and will go watch the film and support this filmmaker. Enjoy Basecampers.
