There are plenty of interesting geomantic snippets in this talk, though it's mainly a proposal for a longterm research project into the subtle-energy patterns and behaviours of ancient sites in West Penwith in Cornwall.

Penwith is dense with ancient sites and it's a nice potted area for research like this - and there are quite a few prehistory maniacs living here, to do such work.

Though this is primarily addressed to people in Penwith, this proposed project could be of interest to people elsewhere. I hope it sparks some thoughts and initiatives in the coming time.

If we're working with subtle earth energies, we need to get to know how they work, by systematically studying the way they actually operate - and from a psychic-intuitive, geomantic viewpoint.

I'm happy with this talk, and I hope you enjoy it.

Love, Palden.

The Shining Land and how and why it shines. Belerion is the ancient name of West Penwith in Cornwall. In Penwith we have more ancient sites per square mile than anywhere in Europe.

This is the first part of a talk given at the Aha Class with Palden, on 18th December 2024 in Penzance, Cornwall.

I propose that the whole of West Penwith is one big ancient site (an enormous cliff sanctuary). Why did ancient Penwithians bother to build so many quoits, stone circles and cairns? What was their thinking and what were they seeking to achieve?

In this hour-long talk I go into the sacred technology of

A few things I learned from the Council of Nine.

This is about extraterrestrial civilisations and their relations with planet Earth, and what we on Earth need to do, as a planetary race, to prepare ourselves for meeting up with them, sometime in the future.

That's the first half, and in the second half we look into some interesting questions about ancient sites, collective resonance, our soul-roots in other worlds and... dragonflies.

I have had various kinds of contact with ETs over time, and they're part of my spiritual genetics.

I had a close encounter at age 22 in Wales, followed by a series of metaphysical experiences, and in the 1990s-2000s I was deeply involved in crop circle research. In 1992 I wrote a book on behalf of some non-earthly cosmic beings, the Council of Nine.

I share a fascinating overview of the ET situation, on why we're all here, what Planet Earth is here for, and how none of us started our soul-journey here on Earth.

Power Points in Time goes into peak periods and times of amplified, pattern-setting possibility - and some of the astrology that's involved in identifying such times.

This is about solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarters, cycles of the Moon and line-ups of planets. The ancients made use of both temporal and spatial power points to raise their magical-spiritual game, increasing the possibility of changing the way that life and nature operate through innerwork with the fundamental forces of life, spirit and nature.

Part One of an Aha Class on Time: Peak Periods and Cosmic Rumblings.

This is about being born, dying and going through life, and the predicament of living on an intensely gravitational, dense world, yet one with a remarkable range of experiential possibilities available for human evolution.

It's about the Tibetan bardos - waking life, dreaming, altered states, being born, dying and the after-death state - and the passage of the soul through different kinds of experience. These are very different kinds of experience, yet it is the same soul that experiences them.

However, since accelerating our evolution involves a choice of the soul and a turning in the deepest seat of consciousness, only some of us choose it.

Part Two of Two.

A personal talk about the deeper, wider stuff around activism, creativity, working for justice, changing society, planetary healing, resolution and nudging things along, in any and all of the spheres of activity we might choose to work in, local or global.

Observations and anecdotes about playing our part in change and the unfolding of history. It's about us, the helpers, the people seeking to do something to benefit the wider whole.

It's about real-life questions concerning personal risk, life-purpose, commitment, psycho-emotional issues, burn-out, energy-management, holding true to your beliefs, and tricks for getting through. And what is this all for? What is our true aim? What constitutes success? How's about when it all goes wrong or takes far too long?

I have done decades of work in community and social activism, planetary consciousness work and working in conflict zones, with feet in the lifestyle, political, green and spiritual camps.

This is about helping the world as part of our spiritual path, fulfilling the Great Work - and the toughest part, making it a life's work and staying with it over time.

...and why ETs have spindly legs.

A wide-ranging talk by Palden in Glastonbury in early September 2024, with the Inner Light Community.

It's all about consciousness and levels of reality. Palden speaks about ancient sites, the awareness power of groups of people, close encounters, altered states, consciousness engineering, crop formations, otherworld beings, cancer, dying and a few anecdotes from his life.

A thoughtful journey through the alternative realms of reality.

The Vine of Death | Part Two

At the Ayahuasca ceremony, the Grandmother came to me, or I went to her, and I surfed a rather big, surging wave.

Ayahuasca, an Amazonian tree-vine, is called the Vine of Death because, while you don't actually die, what happens resembles the experience of dying and it's good practice for it. For me, as a cancer patient, that journey is not far away. I definitely got some practice.

The Grandmother is the spirit or goddess of ayahuasca, to whom we are challenged to yield, to receive her teaching and blessing. I met her, and she treated me gently, then to give me a big shake-up.

Four men from three countries, plus a magic cat, travelled a light-year or two in the otherworld and returned, and this is part two of the story as seen through my eyes.

This is a very personal story, with some tears and chuckles thrown in. It's probably best to listen to part one first.
