Sheldrake Lecture - 2004

UK: Should Cambridge University Investigate Rupert Sheldrake? (12.8.2026)

The Buddha does not contain ALL knowledge as if it were lying dormant in his mind at any given moment (therefore he is not “omniscient” in this sense) but he does say that an enlightened being can direct the mind in any direction he or she wishes (like a net enveloping and collecting all things) throughout the world, and in so doing bring any part of it into his enlightened conscious awareness.  This lasts for as long as concentration is held in that direction and then fails away – remember that the true nature of the mind is “empty” and spacious – so that all phenomena seems to arise and pass away within it.  In fact the Buddha states a long list of abilities and powers he possesses – including the ability for his mind’s awareness to travel to other worlds.  What happened over-time is that through various commentaries and translations, the fact that the Buddha could move his mind’s awareness in any direction (or none) became conflated with the idea that his mind’s awareness was already in every place and at every time.

Venezuela: Sai Baba & Religion in Uncertain Times! (25.11.2025)

Human evolution appears to possess a “religious” imperative – which I think might be due to sentient-beings experiencing determined material processes – with no physical ability to prevent these processes from unfolding or occurring. Why does theistic religion persist? Well, we are all born – and we will all cease to physically function at some point in future time and space (that is “die”). Whilst the biologically explainable process of “birth” is generally welcomed (within a range of certain caveats) – death is generally disdained, and herein lies the polarity that gives rise to religion – namely “uncertainty”.

Japan: 80 Years on – Reckoning with War Remains Unfinished! (7.8.2025)

The voices underscored a national memory shaped more by the narrative of victimhood than by a full reckoning with the causes and consequences of war, which offered a glimpse into how Japan remembers and forgets its wartime past.

While the physical scars of nuclear devastation are meticulously documented in museums and memorials, Japan’s aggressive wartime conduct is conspicuously muted in both public discourse and state education.

Outside the official ceremony, anti-militarist demonstrators gathered near the atomic bombing site. Their placards decried Japan’s growing defence budget and the possibility of nuclear “sharing” with the U.S.

They were kept outside the formal event by riot police, while right-wing activists tried to drown them out with loudspeakers.

PAUL HERE! You may already know my work as the Joker and various other characters. Firstly, I’m not gay – and do not like underage girls. By getting that out of the way, I can say that I want to offer you a free pair of sun  glasses in recognition of the good work you do. Also, please can I come on your show? I need the revenue boost to pay for all these out of court settlements not related to the above.

UK: My “Grover Furr” [Soviet History] Collection to Date! (23.2.2025)

Be that as it may, I have learned from scholars such as EH Carr, Alexander Werth, and Grover Furr what the facts are about the history and purpose of the Soviet Union. Just as the lies are complex and involved – the scholarship that exposes the lies is diverse and engaging. Everything must be correctly re-examined, deconstructed, and re-constructed back into its proper context. These eleven Grover Furr titles are a work in progress. Think for yourself and never stop learning.
