	Messages from the Masters
	Monday April 11, 2005

During the middle two hours, author Gary Renard shared information as revealed by Arten and Pursah, spirit guides who appeared to him in the flesh on numerous occasions. The two beings, whom he described as "ascended masters," told him they had lived previous incarnations as Jesus' disciples. Renard said they appeared to him in order to correct inaccuracies that had been propagated by the Bible and to teach spiritual truths.Their basic message, which he said shared similarities to the material in A Course in Miracles, as well as some tenets of Buddhism, is that humans are caught in the projections of their own making. This illusory sense of duality keeps us from realizing our oneness and true reality, he explained. The masters also told him that because of mankind's focus on duality, we could expect an acceleration of both good and bad events in the 21st century. There will be a huge economic expansion and the Dow will rise to the 100,000 level by 2050, yet there will also ... More

	Thursday December 2, 2004

Twilight Zone Companion author Marc Zicree, discussed the classic Rod Serling series as well as the latest book in his modern-day fantasy trilogy, Magic Time- Ghostlands.

Rod Serling's work as a both a writer and producer for the Twilight Zone was highly influential in television, Zicree noted, as he set the template for many creators that followed in his wake, who mirrored this kind of total involvement in shaping their series. Zicree also mentioned that The Twilight Zone is coming out on DVD and he is providing extras for the package, culled from his research into Serling's scripts and materials. George announced that he is working with Marc Zicree on a new dramatic TV series for FOX based on Coast to Coast that is being called "After Dark." Also in ... More
