I was born on 5th September 1950 at Hartfield House in Sussex, England – Winnie-the-Pooh country! Here's my astrological chart. The house had been the High Command for American Intelligence in Britain in WW2, from which D-Day was planned! I was raised in Cardiff, Wales during the 1950s and then in 1960s Liverpool, a happening place at the time. I saw the Beatles before you! My school life was like a prison – as a result, I'm dedicated to radicalising education.

I went to the London School of Economics (LSE), 1969-72. The really educational bits were the political-intellectual activities in the near-revolutionary 'Troubles' of the time – it felt as if a new world was dawning, and our actions were impacting on the world stage. This was a decisive experience – and it was disastrous when LSE student activities were suppressed.

I went on retreat to the mountains of North Wales, 1972-74. I lived in a little cottage by oaken waterfalls under a mountain crag, studying philosophy, astrology and esoterics, roaming the mountains, learning the art of writing, cooking on the fire and inner-journeying. Had a sudden death-experience in 1974. My best friend died, I was unconscious eight days and awoke with no memory – my memory of life before this time has been only partially retrieved since. This was later suggested to be a 'walk-in' or soul-swap. I lost my home too and was ravaged by national press and police.

Shortly thereafter I got involved with Tibetan Lamas (HH Gyalwa Karmapa XVI and Kalu Rinpoche), in Europe in 1975-77. Their influence steadied and protected me during a vulnerable period. They took me to Sweden, where I later married Berit and had two children – Maya and Gwynedd. We lived in Stockholm, then in the countryside north of Uppsala. Employment in printing, a new age bookstore (Vattumannen, Stockholm), teaching English, translation and counselling.

Maya's birth caused us to create a home birth campaign in Sweden (1978). Gwynedd was one of the first people intentionally born at home for decades in Sweden. The campaign attracted a lot of opposition (from medicals and feminists), but it achieved success by the mid-1980s, after our time. It burned us out. Our family broke up – we were all devastated. We had had some remarkable times though.

In 1980 I moved back to Britain, landing in Glastonbury – a salvation. I cried my eyes out for a year in therapy and growthwork and the community of Glastonbury was stimulating and cutting-edge. I worked as an astrological counsellor and helped run the Gothic Image bookstore in Glastonbury.

In 1983 I co-founded the Glastonbury Gatherings, weekend events for 90ish people. In 1984 this grew to camps around the Glastonbury landscape. They varied in size from 100-500 people. In three years we did eight camps – miracle-spaces, a tremendous learning and initiatory stream and a seed of many things. During a rare quiet period I wrote the book Living in Time, about the astrology of power-points in time.

In 1986 I founded the OakDragon Project to spread these camps nationwide and wider-spectrum. In 1987 we staged seven remarkable camps, including one for 450 people at the Harmonic Convergence. OakDragon still exists and carries on its work without me. I did two teaching-speaking tours in USA in 1987 and 1989 and compiled The Historical Ephemeris, longterm astrological tables, published in 1993, and re-published online in 1998.

In 1989-94 I worked as editor to Gateway Books, editing a steady stream of alternative and metaphysical books, sharpening the publishing list. I also compiled The Only Planet of Choice – essential briefings from deep space for the Council of Nine, a circle of high beings. This was a spiritualising time. Teaching tour of Australia and NZ in 1992-93.

May-June 1994 was a wipe-out – a sudden multiple crisis and loss: my past activities in politics and alternative matters caught up with me. I went through several significant setbacks and losses. Amongst other things I was barred from entry to USA. I left the space thus created open, and after two months two things came through – a new book and a new project. In two years I wrote a weighty tome called Essays on Geopolitics, History and the Future (available free online).

In 1995 I founded the Hundredth Monkey Project. The Nine had pointed to the need for large groups of people to do consciousness-work to help our planet. I realised I was well-equipped to do it. After quaking and biting inner nails, I started M100. This was a new kind of consciousness-oriented aid agency. I chose to close it in 1997. Not because it failed – more because of its successes. Several things emerged. The two critical factors causing closure were: 1. we discovered that issues and challenges came up which we felt unready to tackle, and 2. by dint of the power of this experience, many participants experienced readjustment problems when retruning back home to the 'real world' – as a result, the more this project succeeded, the more we lost people! It set off growth and evolutionary processes which were so fundamental that participants went off in many directions to pursue whatever had been opened up. After closing M100, the work was carried on in a smaller, discreet group called the Flying Squad.

In the late 1990s I devoted most of my time to building websites galore, including Glastonbury's alternative web-portal, raising our son Tulki and being involved in various other activities such as crop circle research. One website worth looking at is Sir George Trevelyan's online archive. Around 2000-2001, on turning 50, I went through major personal changes, causing a deep-level review of my life and work so far. The results of this will emerge in coming years. I believe that an extension of the Hundredth Monkey project might be part of this., but a new book is also on its way.

My partner is Sheila Martin, and we have a son called Tulki Joe, born 1996, (with whom we had significant psychic communications before birth). We live in Glastonbury beneath the Tor and Chalice Hill. Sheila's great – a dramatist and teacher, a knitter, spinner and seamstress, and we have a lot of trust, respect and integrity between us.

Some 500 talks and lectures, 1,500 counselling sessions and thirty camps later, I'm still at it. It's a strange life. The journey has been long – and there's far to go. By the time I pass on, I want to see world transformation accelerate to lift-off point, and I intend to do my bit toward it. The new century is our time.
