This is about using our intelligence more deeply. Putting instinct and intuition to work.

I've hovered on the edges of the intel world in my humanitarian and peace-activist work, and here I tell a few tales of things that happened, some of the ways I've done it, and some of the lessons learned. Might be useful to some of you.

This and the podcast that follows later are both about 'higher intelligence' - drawing on sources far beyond our normal reach. 

But first, the waves of Kilgooth Ust or Cape Cornwall, on a mighty Atlantic-rollers day. One of those days when you wonder where the power really lies.

I'm a cancer patient and, for me, it's the complications that are now more problematic than the cancer itself. Recently I had some potentially bad medical news, and this of course brought up a lot of stuff, provoking some deep processing and thought.

So this podcast is about dying - something that is optional for none of us, though more pressing for some than for others. If you get born, you'll die, and that's that.

Recorded in the woods down below where I live, and introduced by the sound of the stream in the woods.

Current thoughts on the climate and environmental crisis. I have reservations about the current climate picture: it's not wrong, but it isn't quite right either. And this issue isn't primarily environmental, it's social, psychospiritual and about the nature of planetary civilisation.

Each and every one of us has to get behind this for it to succeed - form a world consensus that everyone can buy. That's tricky. The breakthrough point on climate will come alongside a breakthrough point in humanity.

As a forecaster - working mainly along social and geopolitical lines - I've learned a few things about predicting the future: what we currently visualise for the future and what actually happens when the future actually comes can be quite different things.

Introduced by the waves at Portheras Cove, a few miles from where I live, here in Cornwall.

Introduced by a nightingale in the tree behind my house, here on the farm. 

This is a perspective on the meaning of our lives and what we're really here for. As souls, we're here to learn and to make a contribution. 

When we see things from this viewpoint, reality changes and our free-will opportunities are advanced to a new stage.

We need to remember why we came, what we're here for. Because, no matter how difficult life gets, if we have a meaningful life in which we're genuinely pursuing our path, it's always positive and progressive - whatever society or our guilt complexes might judge to the contrary. 

So this is about the evolution of our souls.

A five-minute soundscape from the stream just down the field from where I live. Nothing is happening at all, yet a lot is happening. It's the existential Zen of unfolding universal reality, God doing a dance and nature speaking in its own voice.

Yes, waste five minutes of your precious time imbibing the medicinally auditory gifts of a little stream in the ancient land of Kernow...

As a cancer patient, sometimes I plummet toward the edge of death. This is a straight-up podcast recorded in bed in the dark of the early morning, at a time when I was very ill, struggling and on my own.

It's at times like this when we really start facing the truths of our lives - times when we might lose our life and we suddenly notice and own up to things we hadn't seen before. Or we didn't have what it took to look at it before.

So here's a taste of what it's like in the deep, dark space of illness, and the insights it generates. Because facing the spectre of dying draws our attention to what we're doing being alive.

I'm down at the stream again. There are times when I'm faced with my truth, my fuckups, and it's hard. This is all about facing facts: our beliefs about life and about ourselves sometimes get outblasted by raw facts. So this is about facing our stuff, owning up and getting real. Because real change doesn't happen until or unless we do so - we just get the repetition of our ingrained patterns. But if or when we break through, magic happens, and new possibilities are given to us. So this is about freedom.

I have long been a photographer, and here are some pics of West Penwith, where I live: click here.

About choices I have made in life that have led me to where I am now. Recorded by the stream in the breezy woods below our farm. I chose to live in this beautiful, uplifting place, and some think I am lucky to do so, but everything in life charges its price, and this is the result of choices and sacrifices I have made - it's not luck. 

Actually, in dealing with cancer, living here has been a great medicine for me. Our free will hangs around the extent to which we exercise our capacity to choose. Yes, things get really difficult, and shit happens, and it can all take time and effort, but we do have choice - especially at certain key points in life where fundamentals get decided.

So this is about our fears, guilt and shame and stepping over them to move forward. Hold with the magic of your soul's golden thread.

Recorded just down the field by the stream, on an ancient trackway on our farm, running between two prehistoric sites here in West Penwith - Botrea Barrows and Caer Bran. Insights on life, on time and on prehistoric civilisation in Cornwall, and the way that ancient megalithic knowhow is becoming increasingly relevant to us today. It's not just a fascination with prehistory: it concerns the next level of civilisation.

About the inner secrets of prehistoric deep-energy technology. Power points in space and power points in time, and the way these were used for the reformulation of the heart of reality. The ancients didn't need gene editing, nuke power, space exploration or tech fixes of the kind we know - they had other ways of doing things back in the 3000s and 2000s BCE, and we now need to learn about how they did this. This is all about megalithic consciousness engineering, and how we might be able to fix our climate, ecosystem and society in a way that brings a much deeper breakthrough for humanity.
