Pods from the Far Beyond Palden Jenkins

Down here in Penwith we get a lot of wind - we're stuck out in the ocean and it loves blowing us away with its power and glory. It's one of those things that happen in parts of Planet Earth. And that's what this is about. Conditions on Earth as seen from the outside.

In coming months I'll tell you more about things I learned from the Council of Nine - this is the first of a few. What they taught was so multi-dimensional that it's difficult to cover it all briefly. In this podcast I present one aspect of it, for your consideration.

It's all about how our planet was set up and the larger picture on our current global situation, which is the consequence of the application throughout history of human free will. People might legitimately ask, 'How can the Universe be benign, and how can God be Love when we see things like Gaza happening?', but there is a simple answer.

It is a product of human free will. And collectively as a planetary race we need to apply our free will to deconstruct such tragedies and make them obsolete.

Recorded in May 2024, down in the bluebell woods below our farm. The wind sounds like a powerful gale, but actually it was simply a brisk Cornish ocean breeze rattling in the leaves of the trees. 37 mins long.

With love, Palden.

I recorded this podcast in January and completely forgot about it! That was a memory question. And that's why it's coming out now.

Jean Piaget once said that intelligence is not about what we know, but what we do when we don't know. How we figure things out when we're in new territory or out of our depth.

The problem with AI is that it works by drawing on data and on what is known, on memory, and on the way things have happened thus far.

That's not true intelligence. Human intelligence is better at dealing with the unknown.

So AI is unlikely to be as wondrous in its problem-solving capacities as tech-bedazzled AI cultists would like us to believe.

And there's a hidden twist here concerning human intelligence - it's in the podcast!

Recorded in January 2024, down by an old silted-up millpond in the stream below our farm. 27 mins long.

With love, Palden.

Recorded at an Iron Age Courtyard House up the hill on our farm.

It's all about life in the Iron Age in Cornwall, 2,000 years ago. This was the Celtic period - though the Celts were a culture, not one people. In West Cornwall many of them were descendant of the people of the Bronze Age.

This is about life and reality systems in our time, in the Iron Age, and also in the Bronze Age and the Neolithic - how people saw life and the world in each of these times, and what we can learn from it now.

30 Mins. With love from Cornwall. Palden.

This is about pitying the winners, social healing and walking our talk.

The core issue is this: ascension and the birth of a new world will take place only when we are truly ready for it. We wish for peace, ecological restoration, social and economic justice and change in every sector of life and the world that we can think of.

But the big question is whether and how much we're ready and willing to do what's necessary to allow such things to happen.

Until we become ready and willing, we're holding back progress on planet Earth. As philosopher Edmund Burke put it: 'For the triumph of evil it is necessary only that good people do nothing'.

37 mins. Recorded while sitting in the ruins of a 2,000 year old Iron Age courtyard house, down'ere on the farm.

With love, Palden

It's good to just make a habit of it - like breakfast.

Not a big thing, or a discipline we cannot measure up to. Take it easy, but make a basic commitment to building it into your life - even if just once a week.

Because that's fifty times in a year, and 500 times in a decade.

You notch up quite a bit of experience that way.

I'm not a meditation teacher or even a very good meditator, but I've been at it a long time, and here are a few thoughts and stories from my own way of doing it.

On Sunday evenings at 7pm GMT a group of us in different countries meditates together at the same time, wherever we are. We each do our own thing, but together, with a simple shared intent to raise the world's level an inch by doing so. If that interests you: www.palden.co.uk/meditations.html

The podcast is 34 minutes long. Recorded sitting by the stream on the farm in Cornwall. With love from me, Paldywan Kenobi.

This is about time. Time is what stops everything happening all at once. It stretches us out across a kaleidoscopic storyboard of life-experiences. But in the end, the seemingly lengthy sequence of days and daily life experiences melts into relative insignificance.

It's what we have become by going through life that matters most. It's the burnishing and polishing effect of pleasure and pain. Our inner evolution is not something that is hooked directly into time: the progress we make depends more on willingness and openness than on time.

If we devote much of our energy avoiding experiential intensity in our lives, we evolve more slowly. Our experience and usage of the time we have is very much a matter of deep choice. Living life to the full. Not just the comfortable, pleasant stuff but the grindstone, the fire and the soulquake too.

It's 37 minutes long. This time the recording studio is a field on our farm, with an appearance from the migrating geese of Grumbla.

With love from me, Paldywan Kenobi.
