THE TEXT COMMENTARY IS COMPLETE AT LAST!

6/26/2021

CHAPTER 31 is complete as of 6/26/21. My project of commenting on the Text, begun in January of 2005, is finally complete! Today I posted the last commentary in Chapter 31: Section IX, "Choose Once Again."

The commentary on the first half of the Text was based on the edition published by the Foundation for Inner Peace. Several people have asked if I will return to the start of the Text to write new commentary on the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course from the Circle of Atonement, which has restored a vast amount of material from Helen Schucman's notes that was omitted from the previous editions, particularly in the first five chapters. I would like to do so. I do not know if time will permit. I'm 80 and would like to relax a bit and enjoy being retired! Check back here in a few months (say September, 2021) and I will have a better idea of what I will be doing. I'm asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in the matter.

commentary on T-31.VIII, "The Savior's Vision," has been posted.

6/11/2021

I've posted the commentary on T-31.VIII, "The Savior's Vision." This is the next-to-last section of the Text. I'm currently about one third of the way through writing commentary on Section IX, the final section. I'll be posting that in the next week or so.
When our group meets again on the first Tuesday in September, we will pick up with Section VI, "Recognizing the Spirit." The format of the meeting is not clear to me yet: In person? Zoom? Both? I'll be exploring the possibilities over the summer and will keep you posted.

Commentary on T-31.VII, "Focusing on the Good," has been posted

5/6/2021

A Commentary On T-31.VII, "Focusing on the Good," Has Been Posted.
Next week, on Tuesday, May 11, 10 AM to noon, our Zoom group will be studying the end of T-31.IV and continuing on with Section V, "The Concept of the Self."

It's my intention to end the meetings at the end of May. We will finish with this, the final chapter of the Text in September. The rest of the summer, until Labor Day, we will take a break.

What follows is yet to be determined.

Next Tuesday, 03/16/2021, we will study T-30.VII, "Forgiveness Is Always Justified," starting with paragraph 5.

At last, I've begun posting commentaries for the final chapter of the Text! I'm excited as the end of this huge task, which has spread out for me over the last 11 ½ years, is in sight.

This coming Tuesday, February 16, we'll be studying paragraph 5 of T-30.III, and proceed on to T-30.IV, "The Thought God Holds of You." As usual we are using the Complete and Annotated Edition published by the Circle of Atonement. You can find the appropriate commentaries here: Chapter 30.
