2013-11-23T20:48:32.470Z

Matt Damon, a lifelong friend of Howard Zinn and his family, read excerpts from a speech Howard Zinn gave in 1970 as part of a debate on civil disobedience.

This performance was part of "The People Speak, Live!" with Matt Damon and Lupe Fiasco at the Metro in Chicago, on January 31, 2012, produced by Voices of a People's History (www.peopleshistory.us) in collaboration with Louder Than a Bomb: The Chicago Youth Poetry Festival.

Here's what Howard Zinn writes about this speech in his introduction to the full piece in his book Voices of a People's History of the United States, written with Anthony Arnove and first published in 2004 by Seven Stories Press:

"In November 1970, after my arrest along with others who had engaged in a Boston protest at an army base to block soldiers from being sent to Vietnam, I flew to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore to take part in a debate with the philosopher Charles Frankel on civil disobedience. I was supposed to appear in court that day in connection with the charges resulting from the army base protest. I had a choice: show up in court and miss this opportunity to explain — and practice — my commitment to civil disobedience, or face the consequences of defying the court order by going to Baltimore. I chose to go. The next day, when I returned to Boston, I went to teach my morning class at Boston University. Two detectives were waiting outside the classroom and hauled me off to court, where I was sentenced to a few days in jail. Here is the text of my speech that night at Johns Hopkins."

Talk 9 with Lynsey Beswick - Any disease can be healed

Communicating transparently with Lynsey Beswick. This talk will change your life. From life, love, death, cancer, rape in the Congo to mass healing and other great stuff in between! You will find it most inspiring.

Another authentic person I have attracted along this transparent path of exploration and one who is serving the evolving consciousness in everything she does. Like us all Lynsey has been on an adventure through life with many ups and downs. Having worked for many years being in service to others, its no wonder she has dedicated her life to supporting people as they explore their own unfolding on this magical planet. She is now a Theta healer practitioner and kindly after this talk gifted me a place on the course she teaches. Its was a great insight into Theta and how this technique can assist in digging into our psyche and releasing the dysfunctional sub conscious programs which limits us all.
