How Do I Get the Audio Recordings of Gary’s Reading of the Pathwork Lectures?
____
Option 1: Free Download of Individual Lectures
All of the recordings I’ve made are available for free as individual downloads from the International Pathwork Foundation Website. These can be loaded onto iPods, or used to burn conventional CDs of individual lectures from your computer.
Option 2: Purchasing a DVD with All Recorded Lectures
For those who would like the DVD with all of the lectures I have recorded to date, send me your mailing address and I shall send you the latest DVD. The price is $50. Updates are available for $10. Do not send check until you are satisfied that the lectures are working for you. Note that you can burn conventional CDs of any lecture from your computer after you have loaded this DVD onto your computer. You can also load these onto iPods. For myself I have copied all my recorded lectures onto my iPod and listen during workouts, etc.
Option 3: Purchasing Conventional CDs of Individual Lectures
Each lecture averages 45 minutes and consists of about 50 paragraphs. I offer conventional CDs with individual lectures recorded and where each track is a paragraph. I use these most in my studies and for listening in the car. The text version of all lectures I have recorded in paragraph-numbered format is included with the above-mentioned DVD. This is useful for study classes in navigating through the lectures. If you would like the individual lectures on a CD with paragraph numbers matching CD tracks, send me your mailing address and I shall send you the CDs you would like. The charge is $4 per lecture. Do not send check until you are satisfied that the lectures are working for you.
Background
Since being introduced to Pathwork in 2000, I have come to drink in the words of the Pathwork Lectures. This hunger continues to grow even now, in 2009. While these lectures can be read for concepts and ideas they contain, and as important as these ideas and concepts are, I use the lectures primarily as inspirational material, letting the words call forth truths from deep within my being. The resonance I feel can move me to tears. I hear the words differently each time, because my life has moved forward day by day and the words touch a different need in my soul.
In 2006 I began making recordings of the Lectures so that I could listen to them in my leisure and idle time (riding time, exercise time, etc.). To make the recordings, I read the lectures aloud, edit them very carefully for accuracy of words and meaning, and burn them onto audio CDs. Each paragraph of a lecture is one track on the CD, which enables me to follow the text easily, repeat meaningful paragraphs, etc.
This project grew into creating a library of Pathwork Lecture recordings, now including over 160 of the 258 Lectures given by Eva Pierrokos between 1957 and her death in 1979. These audio readings are available in conventional CD format (1 lecture per CD as mentioned above) or in MP3 format, all recorded lectures on one DVD suitable for downloading onto a computer and iPod. The current version has over 120 hours of inspirational material.
Availability
In 2008 I entered into a contract with the International Pathwork Foundation. Under this contract the Foundation offers my recordings as downloads, one lecture at a time (go to: International Pathwork Foundation Website). In addition under this contract I can sell the DVD that has all the lectures I have recorded on it. This is very convenient for students, teachers, and Pathwork enthusiasts who want access to all this material in audio form. I also sell individual lectures in conventional CD format where each track has one paragraph of the lecture.
Pricing
The Downloads from the Foundation, one lecture at a time, are FREE. The price of the DVD available from me with all the lectures recorded to date is $50. This comes to about 30¢ per lecture. As the DVD is updated from time to time, the latest version of the DVD can be obtained from me for $10 to those who have purchased the earlier DVD for $50. The conventional CDs with one lecture recorded on it is available from me for $4.00. These conventional CDs can be reproduced for use by students in lecture study classes. The text in paragraph-numbered format matching the tracks on the CD are available on the DVD with all the recorded lectures.
The framework for this pricing structure is built off that used for the printed lectures. These printed lectures are FREE, one lecture at a time, off the International Pathwork Foundation website, while a CD with all the lectures on it, so convenient for students and teachers, is $100.
