In our concerns about our world crisis today, we humans tend to think it's just our problem, and it's of significance only to ourselves and to our own world, which we believe to be the only inhabited world that's around. Well, there's more to this than that.

Here Palden outlines what he understands of the perspective of others in the universe - what we call ETs, to whom we might add MDIs or multilevel intelligences. Actually, some ETs are MDIs. So are we: our multilevel we call 'sleep', 'dreaming', 'meditation' or 'altered states'.

Planet Earth's fate actually concerns the whole universe, and Palden attempts here to explain how and why.

So it's about Earth, how it evolved, the significance of our world crisis today, and what we're all here for, really. Well, Paldywan's interpretation of it.

33 mins long. The intro is the sound of jackdaws at our farm, scared by someone clomping down a plank of wood down in the yard, and flying off to the woods. The podcast was recorded in the woods below our farm, so you can hear the breeze in the trees, birds and offstage sounds. Finally, the outro is of me walking in the woods along the path back toward the stream - off back home for a cup of tea.

If this subject really interests you, go to my PodTalks for an inspired 1hr 15min talk I did in 1996 about the same subject, and about healing our world.

We humans, we're weird - we live on one planet but in multiple worlds.

With love from Cornwall, Paldywan

So, do you reckon the existence of your soul and psyche began here on Earth? Here, Palden talks about tribes, nations and civilisations, material and multidimensional, in which each and all of us have our roots as souls.

This is key to finding our true, deep identity, not solely as a product of Earthly evolutionary experience, but from a deeper level way beyond. It concerns the initial reason we decided, or it was decided, that we'd partake of the Earth experience.

If we anchor to this root source of our being, it can help us identify and serve the deeper purposes for which we came - to learn and, especially nowadays, to contribute. One of the great crimes of our time is withholding of our gifts and capacities - often because we think we're not good enough, not ready yet, or 'little me' will make no difference.

Yet we are part of larger soul-collectives. We need to peer beyond our individualism to cleave to the contribution our soul-tribes seek to make. We are, after all, the people we've all been waiting for. And if not now, then when?

Recorded in Somerset while on tour. Worth hearing if you are attending any of Palden's magic circles. As a follow-up, try the podcast Close Encounters too. 27 mins.

All about being alone and loneliness - a growing phenomenon around the world. It particularly concerns people outside the mainstream rush of life. Paradoxically, the more that world population has grown, the more that loneliness has become a major issue. It has been a personal experience for me in the last 6-12 months.

Sometimes, when you're alone a lot, you can come off the rails and lose the plot, and your anchorage. It can lead to further problems and can get quite deeply embedded. Sometimes these are but periods of life, and sometimes people get lost in it.

For astrologers, this podcast is a living description of someone who in the last year has had transiting Neptune opposing his natal Saturn. But I survived and am rising again, and this podcast talks about turning loneliness around - either into a happier aloneness or into a new openness to relationship with others. Or perhaps some variant of both. Becoming more comfortable with the way things are.

Introduced this time by a skylark above Botrea Barrows, where I recorded this episode on Saturday 9th July 2022. Outroduced by a nightingale on a tree just outside my house on the farm, a week or two earlier.

'Epiphany'comes from Greek. It means to cause to appear, to bring to light, to make visible. It's also a form of religious experience, though that's not really what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about those pattern-setting realisations we occasionally get which suddenly show things as they actually are, rather than what we, up to then, told ourselves. Nowadays, we tend to tell ourselves a lot and then try to mould reality around it. But life doesn't work like that.

Listen more closely to things than to people - a chunk of wisdom from the Xhosa of South Africa.

We need many more epiphanies, for individuals, social groups, nations and the world. This is crucial in the 21st Century, and our future depends on it.

In the 2020s we're being served waves of crises that seem designed to invoke epiphanies - without which, things can quickly get a lot worse because people seek to restore normality rather than to get the message about the acceleration that's happening. It's a reality-shift, and it started during the Covid crisis.

Covid was but a catalyst of a cascade of further change-processes, prompting myriad personal realisations that life was not going the way many people wished. This in turn will lead to much wider social shifts of values and life-patterns as the months and years progress. There's more coming.

Now, in 2022, we face war, food shortages, economic shocks, climate disasters, and it's increasingly stretching us open. These are all questions we needed to address earlier, but we didn't want to look.

It's a shorter and simpler podcast, this one, compared to a few recent ones. It was recorded outdoors, down the old trackway on our farm. 18 mins.

Origins, and where we came from...

This leads on from the preceding podcast, Origins, though you don't have to listen to that first. All my podcasts are related and they knit together, yet each stands for itself.

It's all about a quest to uncover off-Earth origins - the regression I did is recounted in the first Origins podcast. Here we have the discussion and afterthoughts following it - and these are interesting in themselves. They lead to further thoughts about our situation on Earth and what we can do about it.

The idea here is to give you some prompts from my own life that might suggest some clues to yours, and your origins.

It's about the predicament of being in our world, about divine intervention, dissonance, resonance and how we might bring forward a planetary breakthrough-point in coming times.

This will be of particular interest to anyone working with planetary healing or fixing the world in any way.

Small matters, of course... all in 30ish minutes.

With a blackbird bonus and love from Paldywan Kenobi.

None of us began our lives here on Earth. In this podcast I share with you what happened in a deep regression I had over twenty years ago, which involved going back to the beginning of my soul, far away in another world, and very different to our own. 

It also covered my connections with some advanced beings I worked with thirty years ago (I compiled a book for them called The Only Planet of Choice - essential briefings from deep space). The were called the Council of Nine - they were kinda part of the management structure of the universe, if you could say such a thing.

This is a longer podcast than most Pods from the Far Beyond (it's 39 mins) - it contains a lot. I hope it rings some bells for you, giving a sense of your own connections with the source of your soul. Which might perhaps be a matter of interest to you! After all, that's what's left when you pop your clogs.

With love, Palden

In our time we're going through an intensification of events and pressures, globally, socially and individually. We're heading into harder times, and it's not going to go back to normal. But there are things we can do about this. It doesn't have to be as bad as currently it looks.

The costs and difficulties we have in life can be made a bit easier by not grinding on about it quite so much, by making things less difficult inside ourselves. Sounds easy, but it takes some work.

There are also gifts in any situation that become visible if we shift our focus, take a deep breath, own what we're responsible for and focus on what's really most important.

I've faced some stuff in recent times and seem to be gaining something from it, deep down, underneath. It's a lot to do with finding what's available in any situation - anything that can cheer us, lift us up and open up pathways - and going on from there. Following a path.

If your spirits have some sparkle, you'll be alright. Though often, 'alright' isn't what we originally thought.

17 minutes, with love from Palden.

In November 1972 I had a close encounter. It was a life-changer for me. I was unprepared for it: like so many people, I hadn't really thought about ETs up to that time. The whole thing lasted something between 20 and 40 minutes, and it was witnessed also by my friend, and we checked to see whether we were seeing the same thing. We were. We discussed it fully.

But little did I know what was going on in a deeper part of consciousness. This is one of those things about close encounters: in a way, they're so far from our normal worldly experience that they lodge in deeper consciousness and hide until such time as we are ready to retrieve and recall them and work with the consequences in our own lives.

This is the transcript of a regression I did in 2000, 28 years later, with an ET researcher, Atasha Fyfe. We had done past life regression before, but this was the first time it concerned ETs. I decided to investigate the close encounter, and this is what came up.

If I were trying to concoct a story like this, I wouldn't manage it - it stretches far further than I could go. I'm not good at fiction anyway. There was a second regression in which I explored my relationship with the Council of Nine and the way I was constructed as a soul - and that will follow one day.

With the sound of the stream in the woods, down the field on our farm.

I hope you find this podcast interesting. With love, Palden.

In some of my podcasts I share some very personal things, and this is one of those. 

We're all going through it - that feeling of OMG, this is all too much -  and it's gone global. It hits the best of us. 

This is about my own little version of it, which nevertheless is rather heart-rending for me. With a few insights into the process of riding with truth - it can propel us along.

It's all about those times when reality really hits you in the face, or in the gut, and you just gotta own up because not doing so is no longer an option. Owning up is usually the best thing to do. In the end, it isn't anyone else's fault.

It was recorded in the woods below our farm, on a sunny springtime day, and edited and uploaded same day.

Thanks for listening! Love, Palden.

This is rather heartfelt. It's all about the psycho-spiritual side of having cancer - that is, keeping our spirits up, despite everything. I have found that keeping my spirits up lies right at the core of my wellbeing as a cancer patient. It helps my health, relationships, doctors' visits, dealing with pain and difficulty and getting through crises, and it brings special moments of joy and relief too.

This podcast is for people experiencing cancer or similar kinds of issues, and also for carers and anyone who knows a cancer patient. I'm not an expert or a doctor, but I do have cancer, I go through the grinder, I get swamped in fears and tears, and I try to do my best with it all. So this is from me to you, if it's useful to you.

This was recorded during storm Eunice (we get great storms down'ere in Cornwall), which sometimes you can hear in the background. The podcast is introduced and outroduced by the noble waves of Portheras Cove, near where I live in West Penwith, Cornwall - they're a medicine in their own right.
