Episode 26: Gary's recording of this episode comes from the hotel in San Francisco, where he's appearing at the Course in Miracles Conference. Approximately 450 attendees are at the conference; and over 40 speakers -- all of whom Gary has worked with before, so it feels like "a reunion" for him! Attendees came from as far away as Macedonia, and mainland China, where DU is officially "banned" by the government there, yet underground versions are now available and being read by many Chinese people...

Episode 25: Gary is in Western Massachusetts as this episode is recorded, and he starts off by discussing all the ice and snow he's had to deal with while traveling; as the Course describes everything in the ego's universe, things can appear beautiful from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it's often a different story... Gary talks about how his previously living in Maine was really the perfect location for Arten and Pursah to begin their visits to him. He then mentions an upcoming worksho...

Episode 19: This episode continues with more "Questions for Gary!" First up, a question (from a listener in Kansas City), regarding the differences between the 'dream reality' which we think we are, and the true reality (or the "true I") which we really are. A confusing but not uncommon question... (“To whom is the Course being addressed?") The discussion continues into the area of "choice", and, exactly who is it that is doing the choosing - and, who is it that we really, ultimately are. Next u...

Episode 14: Gary and Gene resume their conversation from the previous podcast episode, where Gary has brought up the concept that the world is not being done "to us", but rather is being done "by us". Gene follows up with the example that the Course holds God in a much higher esteem than most religions traditionally have, in that God is not at all responsible for any of the terrible things that happen in this world; Gary responds with comments concerning the concept of duality, and how that must...

Episode 10: "Questions for Gary!" Expanding on a popular feature of the podcast series, this is the first episode to be comprised exclusively of, "Questions for Gary!" Gene reads to Gary questions submitted by listeners, including: how does one take care of the body's health and needs, without reinforcing the ego's belief that the body is actually real?
