Korean National TelevisionInterview with Korean National Television for a series to be broadcast in 2007 about Confucianism in East Asia. Robert personally raised the funding for the revival of the annual Imperial Ceremony to celebrate the birthday of Confucius (September 29) at the 700 year-old Confucius Temple (Kong Miao) in Beijing. It is a ceremony involving more than 120 people in ancient costumes, singing ancient songs and doing ancient dances. Robert once took part in the ceremony, wearing the costume of a fifth-degree Mandarin. A special chimestone made of jade and donated to the Temple by the Emperor Kangxi himself on one of his visits to the temple was struck during the ceremony, adding its unique sound during the musical intervals.Photos from the Imperial Ceremony that I took part in can be seen here. |

Cosmic Dust & Panspermia conferenceRobert took part in an international conference on Cosmic Dust and Panspermia at the Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology, University of Cardiff, Wales. (‘Panspermia’ is the traditional name for the theory that life spreads from world to world, whether as small particles of the building blocks of life, or of viruses, or even bacteria. These particles are often suggested today as being found in enormous quantities in the cosmic dust which occurs in vast clouds throughout space, all over the Universe, and of being transported throughout galaxies on the interstellar ‘winds’ over long aeons, and of being spread throughout the many solar systems by the solar winds and trailed along in the tails of comets, with the viruses seething and mutating in the icy comet heads, spilling out and filtering down through the atmospheres of planets and ‘seeding’ life as the comets pass near the planets).On Thursday September 7th, Robert delivered a paper entitled ‘The Prehistory of Panspermia: Astrophysical or Metaphysical?’ (To read the paper please click on the link below). He was also a panel participant discussing ‘The Societal Impact of the Discovery of Alien Life’. You can read Robert's paper ‘The Prehistory of Panspermia: Astrophysical or Metaphysical?’ Photos from the conference can be seen here |

Eranos Foundation, Ascona, Switzerland
Robert talking to Ximena Di Angulo, who was a friend of Carl Jung, and attended the Eranos meetings from the 1940s onwards. Olivia is in the background.
Olivia and Robert were two of the group of 18 people who formulated the future policy and direction for the revived ERANOS FOUNDATION at Ascona, Switzerland. They were invited to join the Council. The Eranos conferences, famous as the annual August seminars of the psychologist Carl Jung and his circle of intellectual friends for many decades, have been revived by the East-West Foundation chaired by John van Praag. The original villas are being refurbished, and both the town and the Canton (Swiss province) are involved in this major cultural initiative in Switzerland, which will deal with both Eastern and Western cultures. Ascona, on the northern shore of Lake Maggiore, has been a unique centre of original artistic endeavour and creative thinking for more than one hundred years. On Sunday June 18, Robert delivered an hour-long address ‘Eranos: Past and Future’ to a public audience at Ascona, recalling the glories of the old Eranos, and discussing the future activities of the Eranos Foundation. He stressed that while retaining continuity with the past, such as studies of Gnosticism and Eastern religions, the Foundation will now also consider more modern issues including cyber-culture subjects and the maintaining of individual freedoms for thought, reflection, and action in societies which are becoming increasingly monitored and controlled, and where identity theft and IT-based fraud threatens the integrity of culture, and where mass-manipulation and mind control have put the very existence of individual identity under threat. Whereas in the past Eranos meetings, where Carl Jung and his friends could discuss such subjects as ‘the individual and the cosmos’, the greater urgency now would seem to be the consideration of ‘the individual at all, - how do we keep him and can he survive?'

Dada Exhibition Opening, Centre Pompidou, ParisRobert and Olivia attended the reception and opening of the Dada Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, in their capacity as President and Vice President of the Prodan Romanian Cultural Foundation. The Foundation has a Dada Project, whose aim is to call attention to the Romanian origins of the Dada movement in Bucharest prior to its spread to Zurich in 1916. Dada was subsequently launched in Paris by the Romanian poet Tristan Tzara in association with Andre Breton, and the Surrealist Movement later arose from that, in which numerous other Romanians such as Victor Brauner, Jacques Herold, Gherasim Luca, Gregoire Michonze, Matthias Teutsch, Arthur Segal, Marcel Janco and his brothers, and various others were involved, some of them from the earliest Dada days, and others who were younger becoming associated much later. |

Exploring the Later Art of the FugueRobert gave a talk in the Bechstein Room of Wigmore Hall, London, at 6:45 PM on the subject 'Exploring the Later Art of the Fugue'. This was followed by a piano recital by Stefano Greco at 7:30 PM in the Wigmore Hall on the theme 'The Later Art of the Fugue', a programme mutually designed by Greco and Temple, as part of their Later Fugue Project, surveying the fate of the fugue after Bach and Handel. The recital included two world premieres including a previously unknown fugue by Dinu Lipatti which was discovered in manuscript as part of the Project. There were several 'first British performances' of largely unknown fugues by famous composers, culminating in a spectacular one by Rachmaninoff.

My head is buzzing with talk of pyramids, submerged cities and lost artefacts, after... mind-blowing parties with some of the foremost parascience writers and archaeological adventurers. Robert Temple, a real-life Indiana Jones, threw a 60th birthday party, and introduced me to Michael Baigent.
