Public talks of the 1990s and early 2000s
Here are some of the public talks I've given over the decades.
They are for you who have attended talks, heard podcasts and read books by me. Or perhaps you've been involved in an event I was at in a former decade. Or perhaps you just fell on this page and found it interesting.
If you need some vitamins and enzymes from an original thinker, you'll find these audio talks interesting. Happily, I find I still agree with things I said 30-40 years ago - phew, that's a relief!
I've been giving public talks since I was 16. The early ones I have no recordings of, but here's a selection from the 1990s and the early 2000s.
Now in late life I have cancer, which has aged me and slowed me down, but I'm still at it, and you'll find recent talks here: Recent PodTalks.
Uninterested in persuading people to believe all that I say, my aim has always been to stir the pot, helping people think their own way through things and giving glimpses of the Big Picture. I have a way of articulating perspectives many people half-know but don't quite get, stringing together widely spread and often complex threads.
I've been a founder of several projects, a writer and editor of books, a speaker from many stages, a humanitarian, peacemaker and historian. Oh, and an astrologer and geomancer. And a webmaster... stuff like that.
I live in a cabin with a lovely view over fields and woods on an organic farm in West Penwith, at the far end of Cornwall, UK.
My talks aren't scripted. They're what comes up on the day. I do think up talking points, but it's quite spontaneous. I've done it like that for ages.
Often 20-30 years ahead of my time, once I've popped my clogs this material might be more pertinent and useful than now - messages from a spiritual ancestor. I want to leave something behind, and this is it. It's for you.
With love, Paldywan Kenobi.
From a programme on Glastonbury Radio, 2007. There's a need for a shift in moral sensitivity to allow world change to come, addressing all that really needs addressing. From a 2003 book, Healing the Hurts of Nations. 1hr 12 mins.
Nov 1996, PAN Conference, Lancashire. A 1996 talk about world healing work and the Council of Nine's view of why world healing is needed. In the early 1990s I compiled a book for the Nine called The Only Planet of Choice, and this talk is about that rather momentous work. 1hr 13m.
Wessex Research Group, Sherborne, Dorset, 1995. A talk about a necessary shift in world values in order for the world to come to rights. Good and evil, light and darkness, indifference, public values and choice. 1hr 20m.
Byron Bay, Australia, 1992. The Council of Nine's perspective on Planet Earth. Given soon after I wrote The Only Planet of Choice.
Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Feb 1987. An astrological talk, for anyone a little familiar with astrology. It was for a group of people born around 1965-66, then in their early twenties. They were born during a power period in history. It's about the outer planets, the way history changes, times of intensity and change, and our life's work. Here are astrological charts mentioned in this talk.
A talk in Glastonbury in 1990 about the astronomy of prehistoric sites of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. It explains solstices, equinoxes, cross-quarters, the cycle of the Moon, eclipses, lunar maxima and minima, the stars, planetary line-ups and power points in time, and longterm cycles of time.
