On Tour with Rennie Davis

Rennie Davis College Speaking Tour:

In the 1960s, Rennie Davis was the coordinator of America's largest coalition of anti-war and civil rights organizations of that era. He was one of the Chicago 7, described by the NY Times as "the most significant political trial in U.S. Today Rennie inspires audiences with the breathtaking frontline stories about the amazing American generation that was determined to change the world. For today's college students wanting to go back and discover this country's most historic moments of student empowerment, spending time with Rennie Davis is a treat to be treasured.

Philosophical and wise, today Rennie Davis offers a journey into the deepest issues facing the human condition and presents a road map for a way out of human misery. In a voice reminiscent of Tom Payne's Common Sense, he takes his audiences on a life-changing, spellbinding journey, challenging and inspiring the present generation to a new way of living. As monumental as the events of the 60s and 70s were in shaping this country, Rennie nevertheless believes that the big event is not behind us but still right in front of us.

Embarking on a remarkable journey to the largest machine on Earth designed to study the smallest particles in the universe, Rennie invites his audience to "visit" the particle collider in Switzerland. Experiments at this massive underground installation are now beginning to unveil the strange and remarkable properties of our atomic world. Acknowledging these advances in physics, Rennie invites all of us to become part of the "world's greatest discovery.' He returns to the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi--be the change you seek for the world--to describe a viewpoint first introduced to him by is protest partner, John Lennon. Rennie goes onto the physics of human perception and makes the compelling case that this generation is about to discover that our world has its origin in the 60,000 thoughts that cross our own brain every 24 hours.  What we fear is what we attract. What we condemn is what we experience.

Rennie Davis is dedicated to co-creating with today's generation a path out of destruction. Infusing respect and community into a modern fearful world, he presents a new direction for a challenged time.

Selected excerpts from Rennie Davis:

Lessons From The '60s: "In the 1960s, the war in Vietnam served our generation as a unifying issue. With a unifying issue, it became possible to bring thousands of diverse organizations and tens of millions of students and adults into a single coalition. Unlike the historical junctures of the Renaissance and the 1960s, today's constituency for a new humanity is greater in size and wiser in understanding than any previous historical period. Nevertheless, neither our global enormity nor our potential to reshape the human condition is apparent--not to ourselves and not to the world. That invisibility is about to change."

The Time of the Earth: "There is now emerging a new event. The planet herself will re-define this historic crossroads. The unifying issue for this generation will arrive in our lives naturally and decisively. The time of the Earth is also the time of Humanity. The earth is evolving and so must the human race. If you live on the earth today, you can expect to make this discovery yourself. It will not be necessary for anyone to tell you evolution is at the crossroads. Common sense will tell you."


Breakthrough Technologies: Rennie Davis also presents a wide range of recent discoveries that could change the daily life and basic understanding of everyone on Earth were they to become available to the public. Each of these technologies--many of them publicly introduced for the first time--presently exist, hidden in an inventor's garage or basement, creating options to energy depletion, 'incurable' diseases, water contamination, food deprivation, and unaffordable housing.

Among the breakthrough discoveries presented by this tour:

  • Small, affordable power stations able to power a home or business wirelessly, operating from magnets or the electromagnetic spectrum
  • New health strategies able to re-regenerate tissue and cells safely and without drugs, based on new understandings of precise frequencies delivered non-invasively to the human body
  • Technology to pump sea water 1500 miles for the cost of the pipeline, desalinating the water as it goes
  • Technology to convert every category of waste (except nuclear) into a safe material that can be fabricated into virtually any consumer product currently made from wood or concrete
  • Devices to transmit a frequency to a fuel line, converting high emission vehicles into low emission vehicles that pay for the technology costs from fuel savings while returning the air to the condition of a pre-industrial age
  • Cost-effective organic agricultural technologies including inexpensive, mobile green houses and 'energy sprays' that create an explosion of micro-organisms to regenerate depleted soil for nutrient rich food production in any region.

Global Perspective: "People admit the strangeness in their growing sense of connection among the world's troubling events. The suspicion grows nevertheless that a connection is operating in our world-wide terrorism, teenage violence, child kidnappings, killer viruses, food insecurity, ethnic cleansing, weapons of mass destruction, United Nation breakdowns and the fires, winds, floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes and global warming that challenge a new century. To suggest connections among previously unrelated events may trouble the rational scientist but when satisfactory answers cannot be found in science, sociology, psychology, or history, the search to understand what threatens humanity becomes a new global agenda. Recent discoveries in quantum physics deliver a new understanding about the origin of our troubled world. In the greatest discovery in human history, this generation is about to realize the origin of our misery is not at all what we commonly believe."


Community: "The 'Earthome' is an example of exceptionally affordable, fire-proof housing with elegant designs placed within walking distance of environmentally sound manufacturing facilities, shops, business offices and gardens of every variety. Contributing to the global economy, a new human community is not dependent on the global economy. Instead, it is self-sufficient, mobile and thriving. This thriving, self-sufficient concept becomes feasible with the introduction of certain emerging technologies. With energy that is produced on-site and basically free, the community is off-the-grid while former energy budgets are re-directed to support other purposes. Vehicle fuels and food are also produced on-site. With the practical introduction of the self-sufficient community, people can experience an evolution of living as they create a new Earth relation. The most important component of a new humanity community is not its technology but its new stage of awareness. When entering a new humanity community, there is a ritual for every guest and resident. Blame is left at the door. Everyone puts blame aside when approaching the community's gate. Instead of blame, a new humanity is the decision to acknowledge one's creative power to author your own life rather than deny your power with victim and blame."
