Episode 40: Our 40th podcast episode begins with Gary recapping his recent, extensive (26-day) trip to Europe, where he visited Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Even since his return from Europe, Gary (along with Cindy) has already visited Boston and Canada. Gary talks a bit about his plans for traveling less often in the coming year… but admits he and Cindy may just find time to take a relaxing visit to Hawaii sometime this winter! Gene then brings up an interesting upcoming event, "Gary Renard in the Heart of Hollywood", taking place on October 16th (2010), where Gary, along with Cindy, will be speaking and performing over the course of an entire day in a classic theatre one block off Hollywood Blvd. Gary talks a bit about his playing guitar and performing alongside Cindy, and also discusses a new music CD that he and Cindy are producing together. Gary then expands the topic into that of relationships in general, and how, from an ACIM perspective, people can deal with their "worldly" relationships while moving ever closer to "holy relationships." A listener's "question for Gary" is right in alignment with this discussion, as it asks how married guys like Gene and Gary handle the "romantic" aspects of married life, while also dealing with these complex relationships in a Course-centered way. The questioner also asks Gene, "Is forgiveness really the only answer?" Gene's response involves a quote from ACIM Lesson 271, and how forgiveness is ultimately a "letting go" of all illusory perception, in favor of the vision of Christ. Gary's closing thought is for people to remember that when they are thinking of or seeing anyone else, they are seeing God, and not just partially, but in totality; and when we can think of others in this way, we learn that it is the best way to experience ourselves as well.
