Reply #1: I enjoy listening to his show,

Thanks Wildflower!

I heard one of his shows where he was discussing the Gospel of Thomas. It was fascinating to me. He oftens picks unusual and exotic texts to read and discuss which I find very intellectually exciting.

I think a few years ago I wouldn't have enjoyed his show so much, but now I am more willing to approach spiritual questions with an open mind. I enjoy gleaning the wisdom from the ancient texts, and listening to their beauty. I always love the sound of Rumi's poetry.

Bean really seems to approach things from the standpoint of a scholar. Do you know what his background is?
