Danger in Acapulco? With Luis F. Mises – Episode 203

by  on  in Podcast • 0 Comments

The Story: How safe is Acapulco for expats?

In 2016, a young man known as John Galton was facing serious drug charges with his partner – looking at decades in prison for drug charges. They’d been producing a kind of highly potent cannabis oil known as “dabs” or butane hash oil. It seemed the court didn’t want to make a distinction between the manufacture of dabs, and of more addictive and dangerous drugs such as heroin – and perhaps wanted to set a strong example.

John and his partner decided to flee to Mexico and live in Acapulco with the community of expats there, making a living in different ways – writing articles online, growing food, running a restaurant from their living room, and setting up a form of decentralised conference called Anarchaforko.

A few weeks ago, John Galton was tragically shot dead, and a friend of his was also injured with three bullet wounds. The question of his death is complex, and in many ways it’s not ours to discuss.

However, the other question which it raised for many is, how safe is Acapulco? Every year many libertarians go to Anarchapulco to explore freedom in its many forms. Are they in any danger? And how can they best protect themselves?

In this episode, Kurt interviews Luis Fernando Mises to ask his opinion of Acapulco and Mexico, the four parts of Acapulco. Kurt explains some basic safety precautions that people should be aware of when in Latin America. We also discuss the practice of “shaktipat”, when a devotee receives spiritual energy from a yoga guru, why Luis invests in Ripple, our love for Mexican food and the search for the perfect quesadilla.

Losing half a mill and keeping your cool – Luis Fernando Mises – Cryptonomics

by  on  in Podcast • 0 Comments

It’s common to hear stories of people losing hard drives that held millions of dollars of bitcoin, losing a crypto password or even getting your regular exchanged hacked so hard it never recovers. For a lot of people, it might be devastating to lose their life’s savings, and there’s even the cliché of the Wall Street traders ending it all after losing a fortune.

In this interview, “Emancipated Human” Luis Fernando Mises explains the things he focused on after a tragic loss – losing his best friend and his money at once. It’s always going to be tough, but with confidence in your own skills, the support of your loved ones, and the knowledge that you can always rebuild, life becomes a lot less stressful. Scroll down to listen or watch the episode.

Making the most of what you have

In this day and age, with so mobile phones, computers and video games, it’s easy to forget that just a couple of generations ago, people didn’t have that stuff. Most of our grandparents went through periods where they had very little disposable income, and if they wanted to have a good time, they would find ways to do it for free. It’s free to dance, to sing, to converse and make friends. The people who make the most of things when they have nothing are going to be happier when they have something, and working on the imagination develops your resourcefulness – helping you find ways to create wealth.

The cycle of wealth

Luis says his parents always told him that life is like a ferris wheel – sometimes you’re at the top, and sometimes you’re at the bottom. If times are bad, don’t take it too seriously, and when times are good, don’t take it for granted. Nobody can say how long either will last.

Respectful saving and spending

When some people get money, their inclination is to hoard it, to be very careful with how they spend it, and certainly not to risk it. For these people, showing respect for money means learning to spend it on things that may increase their quality of life, and to invest it on things that have a chance of increasing their wealth.

However, the opposite problem is much more common. Most people spend their paycheque as soon as they receive it, and find themselves scrambling for coins before the next pay cycle clicks over. In this case, being grateful for money means setting some aside for the bad times, and pausing before they invest their money, considering where it is best put to use.

Watch the episode Bitcoin is like poker to learn more about risk-inclined and risk-averse personalities.

Money makes you more like you are

Luis says, if you want to see the true nature of a person, give them power, money, stress, or booze. When people think there are less consequences of their actions, or when they’re pushed to their limit, you’re more likely to see what kind of person they are. We can all develop our character to be more consistent, to show respect for others even when there is no reward. The restraint we show in good times will make bad times much easier.

It’s not about the money

There’s always something to be grateful for, even if you lose all of your material wealth. If you lose your house, you still have your family. Lose your family, you still have your friends. Lose your friends, you still have your health.

The skills you build can stay with you a long time, as can the relationships. You may have a precious few who stick with you no matter what, and remind you not to risk forgetting that you are powerful, that divine power within you – to change, and be changed. Stay grateful!

Spiritual Elements of Money with Luis Fernando Mises – Episode 197

by  on  in Podcast • 0 Comments

The Story: Is money good or evil?

Luis Fernando Mises is known for his podcast “Emancipated Human”, and for teaching servant leadership as a consultant to large companies in the USA. Some people might find it a contradiction that Luis is a corporate man in a suit and tie, and an intensely spiritual man, even a spiritual healer. In fact, there is no contradiction – improving the lives of people in companies and healing souls are goals that are very consistent. Likewise, it seems contradictory to be an entrepreneur in the pursuit of money, and seeking inner fulfillment. As we learn in this interview, money goes much deeper than that.

Many people point and blame the nameless rich, the unseen 1%, rarely present to defend themselves, and it conjures the image of oil robber barons, Rockefellers and Carnegies. In fact, it only takes $32,400 to be in the top 1% of income earners worldwide – nowhere near the mega-rich level that we’re lead to believe.

Is the love of money the root of all evil? Money is a reflection of your energy, putting your effort into creating something, serving others, a representation of your production and service for others. We can use it to improve our own physical reality, enhancing our enjoyment and our friend’s enjoyment, and even to produce more wealth, freeing up time to spend it with loved ones. As long as your pursuit of money doesn’t cause you to lose your respect for people, it is good.

Shamanic golden matrix beings – Luis Fernando Mises

by  on  in Best Bits • 0 Comments

Luis tells us about a peculiar experience meeting unusual abstract beings during meditation, happening to him as a result of his shamanic path.

Watch the full episode here: Luis Fernando Mises: Shamanic Aliens – Episode 146

Transcript

I kept doing meditation and then at some point I was approached by some beings.

They were not in the form of humans or cows or whatever. If you remember the movie “The Matrix” – the code – imagine that, but like gold. They were like blobs of gold descending on me, and as they were descending it seemed like they lifted off my depression. Their vibration was so high that I was just buzzing. That night, I went to sleep so happily. Before that, I was scared to go to sleep at night because I thought “My consciousness is going to end…” That kind of thing.

So I received a download from these guys, and the idea was “You’ll be fine; there’s more to learn; that was just the beginning. The real stuff is on its way.” Just guiding me through the whole process and lifting me up out of that hole was super appreciative.

Four kinds of leaders – Luis Fernando Mises

by  on  in Best Bits • 0 Comments

Luis from Emancipated Human​ explains the four kinds of leaders that have existed throughout history, about his experience meeting business leaders, and how we can move into the future.

Transcript

There’s been four kinds of leaders throughout history.

First was the religious leaders. They had their religious entities which were able to tell people how to act. But now, those guys cannot necessarily agree with one another – two leaders of religious sects – because they either merge, discombobulate or whatever. So they can’t.

You move to the idea of the militant or military leader. The health of the state is through war or through coercion and all of that, so they can’t, or they will lose their space, their reason for being.

Then you move to the democratic leadership where, through politics, they’re not allowed to have a lot in common with other states – “I always have to be on top.” That’s not ideal, but you don’t see a lot of eye to eye contact. “I’ll help you and I’ll get a bunch of resources…” They just take advantage of each other.

So then we move to the fourth kind of leadership, which to me seems the most spiritually aware and I’ll tell you – it’s the business leader. The business leader is willing to do a deal with the devil if it’s good for all parties involved, because the business leader is not going to lose – but it’s willing to give as well. So it’s a voluntary exchange for mutual benefit.

But a lot of people say “the business leaders are greedy; they’re in it for themselves.” Well, yes and no, but that’s the hurdle that we have to jump. We have to let people see that the business leader is not just there to make a buck and go to the beach – I mean everybody loves the beach right – but the idea is that, when you’re working from purpose – like all these 201 CEOs that I was with, all those guys, they have enough money; they don’t need to work; they have enough resources and influence. They really don’t need to work any more. A lot of people say “They’re just greedy; they just want more.” Well, a lot of those guys stopped taking salaries. They’re just doing it because they love the work they do.

The idea is to help us see, and this just comes with maturity, how the business leader would be able to help eliminate the state, because if you think of international companies, somebody can be in the US, Mexico, Amsterdam, it doesn’t matter what country you’re in, we’re in the same company. Even if you’re Australian and I’m Mexican, and I’m in the states and you’re in Mexico, we’re connected through that link. Screw borders.

So the idea is to help us understand and find our own purpose. The one thing that can save humanity, in my perspective, is raising consciousness in humans. It’s not hating the state, it’s not creating wars. It’s just working on our own individual selves.

Shamanic Aliens: Luis Fernando Mises – Episode 146

The Story: Luis Fernando Mises of Emancipated Human talks about his experience with ETs

Everyone at some stage in their life has looked up at the stars and wondered if there’s someone there, looking back. Certain organisations have spent millions of dollars on satellite dishes and radio telescopes, trying to find proof of life on another world. Yet, what if there was a technology that humans had used for thousands of years, which enabled us to contact extraterrestrial beings? What if, by putting our minds into a certain state, we could access the wisdom of the universe, and over the course of a few hours, receive knowledge that we couldn’t expect to receive from years of regular study?

In this episode, Luis Fernando Mises of Emancipated Human tells us about his experiences talking to extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings, through the use of entheogens – powerful shamanic medicines such as ayahuasca and huachuma, which have allowed him to have fascinating visions, bringing his subconscious mind to the surface. We also talk about his spiritual dance battle with a malicious spirit that has affected the life of a loved one, stretching back generations. We talk about his experience at a conference for CEOs, how they want to change the world by reducing the power of the state, and how capitalism is aligned with spirituality – because it involves service to others.

The Story:

Many millenia ago, certain people started to work with herbs and other plants, healing the bodies and souls of their tribespeople. Over time, they learnt how to use certain plants to form a connection with some deep part of their unconscious, tapping into wisdom of unknown origin, which would, slowly but surely, affect the fate of humanity. Some shamans claim they contact spirits, and by using psychedelic drugs, they can come into contact with the divine.

In this episode, Kurt had a chance to catch up with Luis Fernando Mises at Anarchapulco 2016 and discuss shamanism. We discussed the contrast between San Pedro/huachuma and ayahuasca – how huachuma is like a patient grandfather who is ready to work with you at your own pace, and how ayahuasca is like a stern granddmother; how huachuma gave Luis a master’s degree on economic policy, how the roles of shaman, consultant and gun-owner are more harmonious than it might seem at first, and how psychedelic medicine can have a domino or fractal effect through many lives.
