Episode 23: It's the Thanksgiving Show! Actually recorded slightly after Thanksgiving, and being released in December, but who's counting... Anyway, Gary and Gene want to give thanks to all their podcast listeners, and they also chat a bit about the concept of gratitude and it's importance in attaining an abundant state of mind all through the year, and all through one's life. The guys discuss how movies, music, and other artistic endeavors are so often linked to those with a spiritual mindset - and how the enjoyment of these things can be yet another cause for gratitude. Next up: Questions for Gary! First question: if there were no humans, but only 'lesser' life forms (like plants and fish), would the forgiveness process still be at work - and if so, how? Next question - somewhat related to the previous one - asks about mentally handicapped people, and if (and again, if so, how) they are able to make spiritual progress while in human form? Then, a listener asks about some of the "other" apostles from the time of Jesus (other than Thomas and Thaddeus), and if any of them are now also in ascended states. Gene then clarifies that the "Steven" referred to in the Bible is not to be confused with the Steven who produces the spoofs of our podcasts... but also announces that there is now a third spoof available! (It can be located at the Links page at Forgiveness.tv) Gary closes out this episode with some thoughts on how giving thanks and feeling gratitude will bring us closer to the mindset of perfect wholeness and oneness, which is the state in which we have been created by God - and where we are always perfectly sustained.
