I'm not really sure to what you are referring. The podcasts have always been free and will continue to be free. So, how is this being "part of a purely commercial enterprise"?
Are there announcements in the podcast and on this blog about various books which are for sale for those who might be interested? Yes, there are, but if you are not interested in such things, then move on to the next free thing which does interest you.
The sale of books and the free podcasts are completely independent of one another in the sense that no one has to buy anything in order to be able to download any of the podcasts. The entire production costs for the podcast and creating a web site through which people can download the podcasts or listen to them via streaming audio is paid for by me by the Grace of Allah.
Thank you for another great podcast. I have downloaded and listened to all 31 of them and appreciate the work you are doing by providing these to the community.
I have just added a link for downloading. If it doesn't work, please write back and let me know, and I'll try something different. I appreciate your listening and am happy that it has a place on your walks in the countryside.
I was born in Denver, Colorado, but I grew up in various locations in Maine. I went to high school in Mattawamkeag, Maine where there were eleven kids in my graduating class and 44 students in the high school as a whole. Somehow, I ended up going to Harvard University. I believe a mistake was made and the Harvard Medical school wanted me for experiments they were conducting, but, mysteriously, my name showed up on the desk of someone in admissions for the Collge instead. I majored in Social Relations, which is an interdisciplinary area of study combining psychology, sociology, and anthropology. I did graduate work in educational theory at the University of Toronto. Eventually, they let me leave with a doctorate. I became interested in mysticism around 1970. After spending a little time with a Gurdjieff group, I stepped onto the Sufi Path, and, in the process became a Muslim.

So, are the downloads from now on to be part of a purely commercial enterprise?

Thank you for all your work.
I enjoy listening to your podcasts, especially when I am on long solitary walks in the countryside.
I have downloaded your podcasts many times in the past but can't seem to download podcast 31 for some reason. What am I doing wrong?
I have just added a link for downloading. If it doesn't work, please write back and let me know, and I'll try something different. I appreciate your listening and am happy that it has a place on your walks in the countryside.
