Basecamp for Men E203: The Truth About Men

E203: The Truth About Men

 

E203 Introduction

Today is a different sort of episode but one that we have done from time to time….me being interviewed on another podcast. I like to throw these in there when the content is good and relevant and vibrant. My new friend Marja West guides the conversation in expert fashion.

And I am offering a new service for men and woman alike. One on one Zoom calls with me to support you in your unique Hero’s Journey. I have been feeling the pull to offer something else for humanity and I think this is a very good option. I am not feeling like starting up group work again at this time. I know quite a few men who have reached out to ask about this. I just had coffee with another yesterday.

So this is my way of keeping my finger on the pulse without going back over some of the same terrain I’ve already covered. And the new service isn’t super-structured like my old coaching programs. It is really just you and I finding out what challenges you are facing and how I can help you into the next chapter of your Hero’s Journey. I feel like this taps into my experience as a facilitator of shadow work and the human experience and my love of humanity and where we are all going together.

Men will find it valuable to have a nonjudgmental man in their corner to help them navigate what is going on and where they want to go. Women will benefit from this as well, especially if you are looking to better understand the men in your lives- the husbands and partners, the sons, the brothers.

For more information, simply go to either www.basecampformen.com or www.tonyrezac.com and you can click on the email form and reach out. If you think my perspective can help you navigate, don’t hesitate to contact me. It is a no-pressure way to see if I can assist you in forward movement, whatever that looks like for you.

And now onto today’s conversation. Marja West and I at the microphones, dropping truth bombs. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E200: A Basecamp Retrospective

E200: A Basecamp Retrospective

 

E200 Introduction

Today’s show is E200 and a bit of a landmark episode for me. When I was originally chosen to host a show for men way back in early 2019, I had no idea I would still be doing this well into our fifth season. It goes to show you how mysterious the Divine is and how mysterious our own Hero’s Journeys are if we surrender to higher, more powerful currents than our own.

As I was fumbling my way through season one, I heard a small, clear voice. One I have come to recognize as my Higher Self or the Divine within me. Or God whispering to me. It simply said “Do 200 high quality episodes. That is your task.” I accepted.

When I shared this story with my teenage son Lucas, he asked me “what are going to do after EP 200?”. I said “Do episode #201, of course!”I love doing this and I have found this to be a medium of creativity that really suits my particular creative strengths and it aligns with my mission to assist humanity.

As I was reflecting back on the first five seasons, a few things jumped out at me. First, BFM started out as strictly a personal development show for men. This was tapping into my own experience as the author of a humble little book for men and the fact that I had long led small men‘s groups throughout my time as a man. Conversations with men and leading men was something that came natural to me.

But as we moved moved through season one and beyond, my love of myth, mysticism, and transcendence began to be expressed in more and more episodes. I started to recognize God’s hand in my choice of guests and topics. I began to deeply understand that I was simply a vehicle and it was the work of God that was asking to write the episodes speak to the people…..enjoy the look back and thank you listeners!

 

 

Basecamp for Men E195: Meme Warfare and Our State of Mind

E195: Meme Warfare and Our State of Mind

 

E195 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, how are you all holding up in these strange times we live in? More and more are aware that we seem to be in some sort mass spiritual awakening being spurred on by an unconventional war.

We the people and decentralization against top-down centralized control and even tyranny from our adversary, the Globalist, the WEF, call em what you will. Sociopaths is a super accurate way to describe them. Anti-humanists. I kid the Globalists, those friendly psychopaths.

Today is one of my short-format Firestarter episodes. I have a boatful of memes to share with you. We have an interview coming up with Jessica Rose, I am excited about that one. The Secret Space Program episode if fucking daunting! Seriously. I think it will take me awhile to do that subject matter justice. I am hoping for continued Divine intervention to bring it to you in a manner that will make sense and have you lean into the truth of the matter.

Enjoy this short episode Basecampers and we‘ll see you around the fire next week with our usual format.

 

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.

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.
