Planet Waves FM with Eric Francis

Tonight's Planet Waves FM begins with a discussion of Mars direct in Aquarius. Mars is now moving direct through the degrees where it was retrograde. This is not about a repeat but a re-framing of recent past events. You will be seeing the events of the summer from a new angle, having learned what you've learned.

Tonight's return of Planet Waves FM is timed with the Pisces Full Moon (Sunday, Aug. 26 at 7:56 am EDT) and Mars stationing direct in Capricorn (Monday, Aug. 27 at 10:05 am EDT).

In this repeat edition of The Miracle Hour, I return to the introductory text of A Course in Miracles, focusing particularly on Chapter 1, Section II, which lends its title to this show.

In this re-run edition of The Miracle Hour, I introduce a series of lessons on the theme of defensiveness. I explore three relevant sections of A Course in Miracles: lessons 26, 135 and 153.

In today's edition of The Miracle Hour, I look at Chapter 16 of ACIM, titled “The Forgiveness of Illusions.” Part IV, The Illusion and the Reality of Love, discusses the differences between love and hate, and their relationship to reality.

Today's edition of The Miracle Hour covers the theme of mind and spirit. Haven't you ever sat around wondering what the differences is, and pondering whether it was your mind or your spirit that was trying to figure it out? This edition looks at the “clarification of terms” located at the back of the Manual for Teachers, and explores this interesting theme. Miracle Hour is distributed weekly to the Pacifica Radio Network and is a project of Planet Waves FM.

In today's edition of The Miracle Hour, I provide an introduction to the teacher's manual in A Course In Miracles.

Today's edition of The Miracle Hour is an introduction to the Course in Miracles workbook. I describe the basic purpose of the workbook, take you through the first 14 lessons, and give some ideas about how they work. I also read a piece of poetry called At This Point from a 1989 volume titled 313.

In this edition, I cover the first section of the text, called “Principles of Miracles.” This is a list of 50 concepts associated with the topic, beginning with the first and most famous one, “There is no order of difficulty of miracles.”

Miracle Hour is a brand new program being hosted each Monday here on Planet Waves FM. It's a weekly program based on A Course in Miracles. I began working with the Course in March 1986, and have taken it with me on my journey as an investigative reporter, astrologer and seeker. In this first edition, you'll hear my overview of what the Course is, and how it came into my life.

Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM focuses on the sequence of eclipses we're now experiencing. Before I describe the show, please take a look at this letter introducing our membership drive. Thank you! We are sending it separately as well.

Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM begins with a discussion of Thursday's eclipse of the Sun in the sign Cancer. The eclipse is opposite Pluto, which to me represents a confrontation with all that makes us human, including the potential to relate from the soul level.

In tonight's Planet Waves FM, I ask: what is your American dream? This is in honor of Independence Day, which is Wednesday — the 242nd birthday of the United States.

Tonight I have a special father's day edition for you, featuring my dad.

In this week's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look first at the Gemini New Moon; we have included the chart below.
