An Interview with Gary Renard

The Secret Spiritual World of Children
















December 2006

From the Filmmakers

I am always amazed at how time flies! Yesterday seems like a distant memory already.  2006 will soon fall away to a few moments remembered. What are your memories from these last 365 + days?

The end of the year is a wonderful time to set aside a few moments for personal reflection on the past seasons and to create dreams for the future. What did I learn about myself this year? What lessons can I take forward? What will I let go of in order to evolve? Am I any closer to understanding myself and my journey? And what the heck am I supposed to be doing here?  Where am I going?

Somewhere a voice is calling me – yelling actually – “Hey you! Get out of your head and be here in the now!” You’d think that was some godly voice, and in a way it is. It’s my 2 1/2 year old wanting to play yet another round of hide-and-seek or dress-up. Oh yeah – that’s what I learned this year. The NOW! Play and have fun, because you’re going to get there (wherever there is) anyway, and you might as well enjoy it!

Holiday DVD Giveaway

We are pleased that in response to the holiday giveaway of 75 free What the Bleep… DVDs, we had over 400 enthusiastic requests from schools, libraries and other learning institutions all over the world. With such a huge response we felt we had to dig up a few more DVDs to send and finally came up with a grand total of 250. Included in the list of elementary schools, high schools, home school groups, colleges and public libraries, we also gifted a child development center in California, a chemical dependency clinic in New York, a kindergarten class in New Hampshire, a hospice society in British Colombia, an adolescent treatment program in Minnesota, a Behavioral Health Corporation in Alaska, a community church in San Francisco, an outreach healing ministry in the Philippines, and one of the DVDs is being delivered to a school in Turkey where there are hopes of creating a LifeSkills4Kids program that will include a What the Bleep study group. Thank you to everyone who sent in a request. It was such a wonderful experience to see all the interest in sharing this information among so many different communities.

An Interview with Gary Renard

by Cate Montana

WTB – I’m just going to jump in and ask the question I’ve wanted to ask ever since reading Disappearance of the Universe. In thinking about God and Creation, it never made sense that something that is whole, seamless, and infinite, could ever even conceive of a creation that was fragmented and limited. When I read Disappearance it was like, “Finally, somebody said it.” Yet the explanation from Arten and Pursah about how the multi-verse of all creation resulted from an infinitesimally small, timeless bobble in the seamless fabric of the IS somehow didn’t quite convince me either.

Gary: Yeah, you know it’s kind of like the equivalent of you’re sleepy and you’re driving your car late at night. And you start to doze off for just a second and then you wake yourself up like real quick. And so it's just maybe a second - an inconsequential blip on the screen, and everything keeps going. You keep driving along and you get to your destination and everything is fine. That’s kind of like the equivalent to what the Course (A Course in Miracles) calls the tiny “mad” idea. Nowhere does it ever say that Christ actually separated from God. In fact it says just the opposite. It says the full awareness of the atonement is that the separation never occurred.
