Just Pictures Of Jap Girls In Synthesis

Do you remember a guy that's been, In such an early song, I've heard a rumour from Ground Control, Oh no, don't say it's true.   

They got a message from the Action Man,"I'm happy, hope you're happy too,I've loved all I've needed love, Sordid details following".   

The shrieking of nothing is killing, Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I, Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair, But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing. 

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, We know Major Tom's a junkie, Strung out in heaven's high, Hitting an all-time low.

Time and again I tell myself, I'll stay clean tonight, But the little green wheels are following me, Oh no, not again, I'm stuck with a valuable friend, "I'm happy, hope you're happy too"

One flash of light but no smoking pistol.

I never done good things, I never done bad things, I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh, Want an axe to break the ice, Wanna come down right now. Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, We know Major Tom's a junkie, Strung out in heaven's high, Hitting an all-time low.

My mother said to get things done, You'd better not mess with Major Tom, My mother said to get things done, You'd better not mess with Major Tom, My mother said to get things done, You'd better not mess with Major Tom, My mother said to get things done, You'd better not mess with Major Tom.

You Are Not Peripheral

The felt presence of direct experience is the nexus of space and time that is completely unique to your existence. The rest is another roadside attraction.

The Apocalypse & Revelations Are Awesome

An Apocalypse (Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. 

Both The Apocalypse and Revelation have been cynically reframed by the Vatican (and the other Abrahamic faiths) to relate to catastrophe and disaster. It is part of their vast arsenal and track record of historical revisionism to deceive us to be fearful and seek salvation through their services.

Through a readers encouragement I revisited Neil Kramer's work last night and I enjoyed it very much. Like Neil I also believe we're living in the Apocalypse, as the self evident daily revelations of inarguable global elite hypocrisy dissolves in full view of those who are both awake and aware. It's a one of the best things of living in these times and the show has already started as far as I'm concerned. 

There's some very nice lines in this interview including the obsession of our age to own 'nice things' as a poor reflection of our species given half the planet gets by on two bucks a day - it's unconscionable. 

I returned to Neil's work thinking I'd find him humourless and a little too worthy for my taste but I was wrong. He's got some very useful paradigms for separating what is and isn't important.

Time To Stop Appeasing The Psychopaths In The PENTAGON™ Mr President

He's right to be angry over the accusations of appeasement from his detractors, and  of continuing Bush 43 policies by his supporters. The only reason that I can guess why a clever (and likeable) man like Obama would approve of Osama Bin Ladin's murder without trial and insta-body-disposal at sea, if it even happened, is if the Pentagon are lying to him. 

All the more reason to kick those doors down. Notice how his tie changes colour just before he walks off.

NASA Wants To Break The Ice On Europa (Good Luck With That)

Insider joke for those in the know. More info on the official story here, and the back stage drama (audio interview) here or the overall picture in Richard Dolan's excellent video above. Good pun if intended and excellent channelling if not. Punk Planning salutes you.

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. - Quote from 2010 Space Odyssey

Seminal Project Camelot Interviews: Dr. Pete Peterson (Law Order & Economic Collapse In The U.S.)

The release of these videos were delayed because Dr Peterson was concerned that it might contain some material that was just too sensitive, and which might endanger Project Camelot. He spent time checking with colleagues to ensure that Project Camelot would be safe, to release the material. At the time of writing, he has not specified what the sensitive parts of the video are - though one might guess. Project Camelot have taken the decision to take these risks upon their own shoulders and to release the interview in its entirety. It has not been cut.

Camelot hope that those who have been waiting this for what feels quite a long time may understand the complexities and many factors involved, and that being a whistleblower is far from a simple matter. Dr Peterson is a person of high integrity who is very concerned about some of the problems faced by the human race, and who to his immense credit feels that he must give a warning. Besides the warning, as you will see, he offers a substantial smorgasbord of fascinating information on a very broad range of subjects.

Dr Peterson is an extremely well-informed insider - and a most remarkable and brilliant scientist - who came forward to talk with Project Camelot publicly because he feels deeply for the issues he cares and knows are too important to keep silent about. 

We salute his courage.

Among the many things Dr Peterson spoke about at length was his strong, informed belief that there will be a melt-down of the global economy - and US infrastructure - which may be almost upon us.

There is much, much more. Here is a very general list of the subjects discussed: 

• The probable (in Dr Peterson's strong opinion) collapse of the economy, infrastructure, and law and order in the US

• The Aurora (now retired from service and replaced by vehicles capable of superluminal travel) and the TR-3B (the large flying triangle, which functions as an aircraft carrier)

• Artificial intelligence and advanced robotics

• The "information field" and how the body, the mind, and DNA really function

• Healing modalities which work very rapidly and effectively

• 'Rescuing' brilliant scientists out of the old USSR

• How Mir (the Russian Space Station) was so heavy that it could not have been assembled without 'help' from our 'friends' (or, to be exact, the Russians' friends)

• Time spent in the Vatican Library

• The existence of Sumerian high technology

• Quantum computing (off-camera, Dr Peterson held in his hand a cheap quantum chip, which he had assembled himself in his own laboratory, with the computing power of 10,000 PCs)

• The genius of James Clerk Maxwell, and why Einstein was wrong

• Why you should not spend too much time in front of your new Digital TV

• The reality of the US prison camps

• How President Obama was (in all probability) set up

• How he came to understand that 15% of the world's population (of all races) have ET ancestry that can be seen in their DNA - and are also resistant to mind control technologies.

Why Are The British Royals & Rockefeller Bloodlines Obsessed With Crop Circles & UFOs?

I do love it that the global-elite ruling-lizard bloodlines are, and have been, panicking over crop circles since the beginning - it's so very very revealing. 


The Rockefeller Banking family threw a huge wad of money at seasoned crop circle investigator Colin Andrews (who is from my home county of Hampshire) to investigate the matter and the Royal Household through Baroness Margaret Thatcher's cabinet and directly through Nicholas Ridley (Baron Ridley of Liddesdale) who requested Colin provide a report back in the Eighties when they first appeared. 

Both of these (and many other) ancient bloodlines families that stretch back to the Anunnaki in Sumeria have been running the planet for the last few centuries and accumulating wealth and property and power while dividing the people through their wars and family feuds.


The crop circle phenomena unsettles the ruling elites because the message of impending change points towards the end of their long overdue rule. There's a lot of opinions out there as to what the 20% of (according to Colin) genuine crop circles mean and I've written at great length about the sacred geometry, the magnetic fields, the solar and planetary changes but deep down you know in your hearts that this is a despicable age to live in where half the planet feeds off and beggars (starves) the other half through division, exploitation and militarism.


The outlook for the Windsor and Rockefeller dynasties if we pay close attention to the crop circles is not good at all. The quicker they fall the better.


Update: This post reveals even more about the subject.


Here's the blurb from the video/audio embedded above:

Nature of Luck:

First hour guest, author Ellen Whitehurst talked about the nature of luck. She cited four ways a person can enhance or improve their luck-- maximize your chances for opportunities (such as networking), listen to your intuition or trust your gut instincts, expect to receive good fortune, and turn a negative situation into a positive one. She also suggested that the last thing you see before going to sleep, and the first thing you see when you wake up should be something that makes you feel positive and purposeful.

Crop Circles:

Electrical engineer and researcher Colin Andrews coined the phrase "Crop Circles" 30 years ago. He discussed his research into the mysterious phenomenon, and its possible connections to the Mayans' calendar cycle ending in 2012. During a two-year period starting in 1999, he received funding from Laurance Rockefeller to study crop circles in England, and came to the conclusion that only 20% of them were real, i.e. not man-made-- a conclusion that angered many in the crop circle community. He found that the formations not made by humans, were with a few exceptions, "consistently of the more simple variety... [with] non-complex geometries."

As to who or what is creating the circles, Andrews suggested that it could be a "higher mind," such as an extraterrestrial species that's interacting with humans, as the messages evolve. While a low-level of directed microwave could account for the plant changes, the designs themselves contain mathematical, astronomical, and natural information, and fascinatingly, they are often "placed [in the field] in response to an individual's thought process, [or] prayer or meditation," he reported, citing a personal instance where a Celtic cross design appeared in a field near his home, after he made a mental request for it.


One crop formation depicted our solar system, and specifically referenced the date of September 2033, which Andrews was intrigued to discover corresponded to another end date for a different Mayan cycle. The date of 12/21/12 has a rare astrological alignment, and Israel and Iran may be drawn into a nuclear conflict around this time, he continued. Andrews also touched on encounters people have had with ET-type beings at crop circle locations, as well as a strange incident that occurred on the British TV network, ITN, when a metallic-sounding voice interrupted the program in 1977 and claimed to be an alien.

Dr. Wilhelm Reich & The Censored Science Of Orgone Energy

I had a vague recollection that Wilhelm Reich was connected to some fringe psycho-sexual therapy practise earlier last century but got listening to an interview on the subject and rediscovered yesterday that the scientific, legal and bureaucratic establishment did everything to shut his research down and lock him up.

These days that's a green light open arms invitation to investigate further. I now fully understand how Terence McKenna leapt into action and car on hearing how Rupert Sheldrakes ideas were meeting fierce resistance from the scientific establishment and made his way to the first bookshop to find more information. The first video on his work I discovered was UFO connected so that sealed the deal and I fell asleep listening to a ray-gun like rain making machine that also attracted (and destabilised) flying saucers as outlined in the presentation below.

Free Energy - Andrea Rossi's E-CAT (Energy Catalyzer)

Ever noticed how the cheaper stuff gets the less brands matter? The marketing schizoids should bear this in mind as 3D printing (race to the bottom costs) and experiments in free energy are beginning to mushroom without the latter inventors being suicided as so often happens when challenging big oil.

Andrea Rossi's cold fusion or low energy nuclear reaction experiments are increasingly gathering steam (pun unintended) and yet corporate media ignores the story and white coat science sneeringly declares his experiments as beyond the laws of standard model physics when that is  exactly the point of the CERN large hadron collider. The Wikipedia entry is not reflective of the latest experiments conducted in late October when the E-CAT ran for 5.5 hours producing 479 kW, while in self-looped mode. That means no substantial external energy was required to make it run, because it kept itself running even while producing an excess of nearly half a megawatt which is still only half it's anticipated final output.

As Foster Gamble put's it. It's not free energy as in free like air but free like free beer. Somebody has to make it in the first place. 

I ask you. Why is a the multi billion Euro CERN smashing up stuff we don't need to understand, when small inventors are struggling to invent some of the most important science ever needed in the history of our species. 

Maybe Obama Doesn't Know?

I love the Google Maps layout of Washington D.C. with the Satanic Pentagram laid out clearly. I wont comment on thumbs up or down for the President in this 60 minutes interview because my opinion, even if I had one, or if I had one that was consistent, or if I had one that wasn't bonkers isn't really all that important. 

That doesn't mean I couldn't write twenty thousand words of and on, meta-politics with respect to this interview but that's not much use to anyone, unless I wanted a PhD and let's face it, they're mostly a waste of time too.

However I think the 60 minutes interview is worth observing and maybe not having or forming an opinion is the trick.

Interview With Foster Gamble Of Thrive (Free Energy Movie) Movie

If you haven't seen the documentary Thrive yet it's an excellent introduction into why Capitalism has a huge profit incentive to lie, conceal, suppress and destroy over at least a century's worth of innovation on free energy developments as indeed Nikola Tesla discovered while working with Edison. Capitalism hates free energy, hates miracle medicines and has a love hate relationship with the internet.

That's a very short summary because the topic is quite convoluted and deals with ideas that are quite challenging to the stiffs in the scientific world who have a peer review reputation to maintain, greedy capitalism to defend, salaries and pensions to protect, and generally speaking with a mind that is risk averse and trained to follow not lead. The proof of that is our reliance on over century old combustion engine technology and the illusion that technologically we're an advanced species. We're not.

Foster Gamble the maker of Thrive is an heir to the Proctor & Gamble dynasty who walked away from a life of dutiful corporate wealth secured through relentless growth and acquisition. This interview was conducted by pesn.com one of the more cautious and dutiful sites documenting free energy developments. It's worth recalling that a hallmark of the Universe is free and abundant energy. 

It's just the way it is. Here's a copy for download if you wish to see it.

Pre & Post-Internet History

I think the internet challenges the language of historians in many ways. Pre internet history likes neat symmetrical interlocking shapes. Library history insists on concrete starts and ceremonial finishes. It likes old fashioned good guys and bad guys. It has no language for totally new types of historical event and can't deal with messy complexity. It imposes binary outputs on multilateral inputs and struggles to identify when it deceives itself in the present thus contaminating the past and messing up the future. 

Traditional historical language is imploding with the language of information warfare, singularities, emerging globalised conciousness and groaning with the burden that WWIII  may already have started but wont be officialy recognised until the victor declares checkmate through a new variant of Stuxnet.

Academics, scholars and historians through books, documents and archives were once the official narrative but now Vox populi and real time verbatim counts for something too.

Let's face it. A trillion internet arguments in the comments of billions of blogs, Facebook updates and social media and news platforms not to mention zillions of tweets will shape what people in the future think about events in the past just as much as the mendacity we're fed and sold in the present by the corporate for-profit mainstream media.


I put it to you that our understanding of ourselves, including where we came from, who we are, what we're doing here and where we're going is on the edge of monumental change. It's a race between education and catastrophe.

DreamHub - Korean Architecture

I think most people who are informed by what happened on 9/11 would gladly see the DreamHub Korean high-rises project secure the green light and financing required if it encouraged those who willingly choke on their ignorance to do a couple of hours research into the false flag attack nature of the twin towers attack. 

The architecture is by Dutch firm MVRDV and the DreamHub website is so data intensive I'm rudely reminded of the extraordinarily fast broadband capabilities of the Korean internet.

Is this a good excuse to remind you to take a look at Dr Judy Wood's explanation for how the towers were reduced to a dust cloud? You bet. Click on the appropriate tag below.

Clif High - Onegai Shimasu お願いしま (With Respect Let Us Begin)

"Onegai shimasu" お願いしま  is a hard phrase to directly translate to English. The second part "shimasu" is basically the verb "suru" which means "to do" conjugated into the present tense. "Onegai" comes from the verb "negau" which literally means "to pray to (something)" or "to wish for (something)." The "O" at the beginning is the "honorific O" that makes the phrase more "honoring." Of course, we would never say that particular phrase without it, but that's what it is. (Don't confuse this "O" with the "O" in O-sensei. The one in O-sensei is actually "Oo" meaning "big" or "great.")

In Japanese culture, we use "onegai shimasu" in many different situations. The basic connotation is the feeling of exchanging "good will" towards the "future" of the two meeting parties. Hence, it's sometimes kind of like saying "I'm hoping that our relationship holds good things in the future." We use this during New Year's celebration by saying "kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu" which transliterated (to the best of my abilities) means "this year also good tidings I pray I do." You get the gist.

Another connotation is "please" as in, "please let me train with you." It's an entreaty often used in asking the other person to teach you, and that you are ready to accept the other person's teaching.

If you're feeling really, really humble, you can say "onegai itashimasu" which uses "kenjyougo" or the "humble" form of the verb. This places you lower on the hierarchy than the person to whom you're speaking (unless they too use the same humbling form -- in which case, I think it all comes down to stuff like who can put their nose closer to the ground when bowing or something).

To pronounce this, I'd transcribe it as:

o ne gai shi ma su.

(If you want to get technical about it, the last "su" is a stop-fricative rather than a fricative-vowel combination, so it _is_ pronounced like the ending "s" in "gas" moreso than the long "su" sound in the name "Sue.")

Ancient Aliens & The Satanic Map Layout Of Washington D.C.

 

To my knowledge Ancient Aliens is the only main stream media programme that ever mentions the extraordinary masonic links to the founding fathers and the myriad of occult patterns laid out in the streets and architecture of Washington D.C.

It's fair to assume that this hit series got to make these points for reasons we've yet to uncover. It's not exactly an 'under the radar' TV programme.

For more information on this topic please see this post and this post.

Terence McKenna - The Apotheosis Of Male Dominator Fury

The video above could have been spoken yesterday by Terence McKenna.


It's a good time to observe and scrutinise the universe instead of grasping at material acquisition, manipulating power accumulation, indulging in trivial distractions and lending credence to the dog and pony show of corporate media and their processed-cheese, news-media, mugging-drugging self-fulfilling constructed-reality show.

Terence Mckenna & Moby Dick On The Vagina Dentata Of The Sperm Whale

As the dominator male culture takes a last few swirls round the toilet before exiting this act in the cycle it's worth appreciating that McKenna has been forecasting this from decades before. This particular Herman Melville quote used by McKenna has stood out for me time and again this year and is an exquisite example of his rhetorical skills. A talent that he sometimes attributed to drawing upon outside forces of channelled collaboration.

The War On A Couple Of Cocktails In The Evening

Janus Forum - Should the US Legalize Drugs? from Brown University on Vimeo.

The contrast between speakers and points of view is in so many ways about so much more than drug legalisation and almost defines the difference between someone who knows and someone who knows best; between someone who has a passion and someone who has a job; between someone who wants to chop wood and someone with an axe to grind. (Via Vimeo user Moongold)


Glen Greenwald shreds the former U.S. Drugs Ceaser erm I mean Czar (John Walters) over every single aspect of the topic including the private profit aims of the war on drugs. Chillingly the war on drugs in Washington D.C. fronted by big pharma and has an army of perma-tanned lobbyists that fight tooth and nail to keep the privatised prison business brimming with dark skinned people to maintain the status quo in as stable and profitable a manner as possible. 

This excellent debate isn't just about drugs, it's about a bent system with all the media power in the world to pretend it's about caring for people when the reality is that domestically and internationally the U.S. is the biggest dealer in drugs period.

The current Drugs Czar even says unashamedly that  young people should be proud of  attempts by the U.S. government to spread democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Such is the incentive of his government pension to pursue his retirement plans in an holographic universe funded by holographic money. The delusion is sickening.

John Lash - The Isolationism Of The Judaeo-Christian & Islamic Faiths

A first class interview with John Lash by Mike Hagan with some very poignant parts including the separatist nature of the Abrahamic faiths and the melancholia of living through the flowering of humanity in the sixties and its brutal Dresden bombing before reaching fruition by the Anglo American psychopathy-elite through all means available within its power.

There's lots more than just this in the interview, but I couldn't return to sleep when I listened to John's description of his attendance at the Albert Hoffman 100 year birthday celebration. It's hard not to feel empathic towards him and Joanna Harcourt-Smith as they attended the event and lamented the white, intellectual dominance of the gathering. It's hard avoid the uncomfortable truth he raises over the separation of different generations that is the hallmark of the 20th century mechanistic hierarchy and service to self culture.

The quicker we destroy it irreversibly the swifter we can rebuild.

Reinterpreting Clif High's Webbot Narrative

This just unravelled and opened up the integrity of Clif High's Webbot forecasts for me and in the nick of time. It's an interpretation and thus not the definitive last word but I gotta say this resonated with me on a level I haven't experienced for months and months.


Update: One more addition.

Possession Is 9/10 Of Inter-Galactic Genetic IP Law

Creepy observation in this audio segment by Dr. Joseph Farrell. If the ancient texts (Sumerian and Vedic I guess) are faithful, then the records describing us as genetically rewired may be robust enough for a court case. Our alleged off-planet male gene contributors (often referred to as the Anunnaki), say that they created us to be their worker slaves and is supported by Michael Tellinger's extensive work. Should they return to Earth as they say they will, then under U.S. genetic patent guidelines, the ancient texts would qualify to be adjudicated, under our laws and a patent issued to the Anunnaki for humankind to legally be defined as property.

Just in case the bastards try it on, I'm appealing to a higher authority  over my genetic I.P and unconditionally reject any claims over me. However I believe substantial numbers of the consumer materialist populations are fully p0wned by much lesser authorities than advanced off planet geneticists and would willingly hit the 'Like' Anunnaki button in Facebook and sign over their DNA for some branded tennis shoes, marginally improved career prospects or even a little cash. These specimens you can have. They're spoiling the gene pool. It's only a fifteen minute clip and is a nice intro into Joseph's fascinating work.

Update: The original video deleted. 

I Worry About The United States

Two fresh video uploads that bring to life my very real concerns. The second video concerns the recent National Defence Act legislation passed by the Senate changing the laws over who can be arrested is troubling. I understand the U.S. media has failed to address the implications and that we're back in Bush 43 land whereby only a handful of people are pointing out the dangers of giving the Pentagon 600 Billion to police it's own taxpayers. The ability to control and reign in U.S. citizens with military justice on American soil is troubling as the level of political discourse on Twitter by people who should at the very minimum be raising a large flapping-in-the-wind collective question mark flag in unison over this is negligible.

I ask myself why people aren't concerned and the only answer I have (and please comment if there's a better idea) is that both parties rubber stamped the legislation so far and without the usual hair pulling and teeth gnashing the electorate, seems to be untroubled by the implications.

It's as if there is still an implicit trust in the political mechanisms and representatives to be the guard dog of democratic representation when I thought it was evident that the lap dogs of corporate and security complex interests collaborate like a dream team from heaven when the lobbyists spread the dough evenly enough to forward dangerous laws that are threats to freedom. I shouldn't care about these issues but I do. This is the kind of change many of us warned would precipitate great danger. Let's be candid now. Both the U.S. and the E.U print mickey mouse worthless money and extract wealth from the rest of the world behind a loaded gun. That's an over simplification but NATO's love bombs on Libya and hands off over Syria is as good as it's going to get to dramatise that reality.

Lately I've been reconsidering the story of time traveller John Titor's prescient warnings on the internet over a decade ago. He chastised the U.S. electorate on internet forums he attended for being lazy, self absorbed citizens who watched their constitution being chiselled away at with little protest as long as the materialist and celebrity obsessed appetite was being fed.  Easy to ridicule except for his prediction of Youtube long before it existed and those twin counter rotating black hole technology descriptors he used that only accumulates more robustness as a scientific idea as time rolls by. 

And folks. It's rolling.

Adam Curtis On Chuck Norris & Scripted Anti-Intellectualism

Adam Curtis writes in his latest post on the relationship between Hollywood and Chuck Norris's views on the manufactured war on terror. It's a bit disappointing that Curtis appears  to be uninformed over the Pentagon's direct say in the scripts of movies that use war hardware from the department of rabid dog tax-parasi.... I mean defence. The observant will have picked up that the demonizing of Muslims commenced promptly after the Berlin Wall came down as the end of Communism was disastrous for the war business. Adam Curtis is being semi flippant on Norris commentary, but I'm serious. War is contrived and enemies are conjured up to justify the human sacrifice of conflict. The elite don't spill their blood. There's no need to when they paint the reality needed to motivate the poorly educated young men who invariably join the military. It's genius really.....if it wasn't psychopathy.

Adam Curtis Writes

I love the section about the making of Delta Force where Chuck Norris in an interview explains how the film tries to show what America's response to Arab terrorism should be in the future:

"I think terrorism is going to get greater all over the world, and I think it's time we started doing something about it right now rather than waiting till it gets a lot worse."

The aim of the film, Norris says, is to show America how to do this retaliation - through what he calls "positive violence". As opposed to "negative violence" - which is what the terrorists do.

Along with George Walker's use of film and celebrity to fake profits in order to do takeover deals, you begin to wonder whether the whole of the subsequent economic and foreign policy of Britain and the United States wasn't created by the rubbish movies of the 1980s.

NB: There's no point holding Chuck Norris accountable. It's evident he's a tragic tool in the strictest as well as most liberal senses of the word.

Time Is Speeding Up

One of the reasons I treat Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero hypothesis respectfully is I recognise his assertion that that time is speeding up. At this rate I will be sixty in a flash and eighty even faster. It's a tricky subject to pin down as the neurology for the subject i.e. more new things happen when we're we're younger then when we're older doesn't match with the traditional perception that time speeds up anyway as we become older (despite less new things happening). I've been investigating this a bit and asking as many young and old people as I can how they feel. Most regurgitate a bit of the neurology or traditional consensus but I can't help sensing a little nervousness over the subject. A sense that something is happening. People never say 'no'. They say 'no' and then explain why time 'appears' to be speeding up. My question is leading, and their answer is invariably unscientific because there is no science of what time is.

Last Saturday I met with a friend and we talked about a lot of subjects but one response stood out for the first time I've heard it. He said his sixteen year old girl could sense time was speeding up. That's a first.

Rupert Sheldrake's Google Talk - The Extended Mind

I find the Google Talks held at Mountain View are more generous than the TED talks in terms of depth as they permitted to go on for longer. Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of more than 80 scientific papers and ten books. A former Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he studied natural sciences at Cambridge University, where he was a Scholar of Clare College, took a double first class honours degree and was awarded the University Botany Prize. He then studied philosophy and history of science at Harvard University, where he was a Frank Knox Fellow, before returning to Cambridge, where he took a Ph.D. in biochemistry. He was a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, where he was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology. As the Rosenheim Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he carried out research on the development of plants and the ageing of cells in the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University.

While at Cambridge, together with Philip Rubery, he discovered the mechanism of polar auxin transport, the process by which the plant hormone auxin is carried from the shoots towards the roots. 

From 1968 to 1969, based in the Botany Department of the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, he studied rain forest plants. From 1974 to 1985 he was Principal Plant Physiologist and Consultant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hyderabad, India, where he helped develop new cropping systems now widely used by farmers. While in India, he also lived for a year and a half at the ashram of Fr Bede Griffiths in Tamil Nadu, where he wrote his first book, A New Science of Life.

From 2005-2010 he was the Director of the Perrott-Warrick Project, funded from Trinity College,Cambridge. He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, near San Francisco, and a Visiting Professor and Academic Director of the Holistic Thinking Program at the Graduate Institute in Connecticut.
