The

The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump, the weekly show in which we have a discussion with people or someone who has had a spiritual awakening.

My name is Rick Archer and my guest this week is Mary Foster.

And you'll recognize Mary if you've been watching this series because she and her husband George were my first guests

on the first show that I taped back in October. And that show has really sustained this whole concept for months now,

because by the time you see this, shows will be getting aired regularly.

But at this taping in early April, we have still been plagued with technical problems

with regard to the software that, you know, I won't go into the details, but we haven't been able to upload the shows as readily as we would like.

But nonetheless, Marion George's interview has been on the Internet since last October or so

and has gotten well over 600 views and all sorts of discussion and so on.

And they came in, like the night before they were to embark on a trip from Iowa to Seattle,

and they weren't even packed and ready to go yet.

But nonetheless, they came down and I really appreciate you're having done that back in October

because it's really been the foundation for this whole enterprise.

In the first show with Mary and George, I took a sort of a chronological approach in which we

went back to their adolescence and moved up through to the present recounting or tracing

the stages of their spiritual development.

And since we've already covered that ground, I thought

we would take a different tack tonight and just focus in on what Mary considers significant

now. And knowing Mary as I do and having spent a lot of time talking with her and various

friends about her experiences, there's

always something new. There's always something going on, some breakthrough, some development.
