I've posted a new commentary on T-29.VIII, "Seek Not Outside Yourself." This is a great section! It will be weeks before we study it in our group. This coming Tuesday, 09/29/2020, we'll continue our study of T-28.IV, "Separating the Dreamer from the Dream," beginning with paragraph 6. We'll probably continue on to begin T-28.V.

Our next meeting, first of the Fall, will be September 8, via Zoom. We'll be studying T-28.III. Here's a link to the Zoom meeting, which takes place Tuesday, 9/8, 10:00 AM to noon Pacific Daylight Time. Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81448831041?pwd=L3BGRm9DL0U4cVQzdnNyODY3WUp4QT09 I've posted commentaries for T-29.III, "The Body's Nothingness," and T-29.IV, "The Spark that Shines within the Dream." They are available for download.
I just posted the commentary on T-29.II, "The Coming of the Guest." This is comprised of what was the first five paragraphs of Section II in the FIP edition. The CE editor has chosen to break Section II into two sections; the last five paragraphs are now Section III, which I'll post in a few days.
I'm excited because I have finally begun work on the last three chapters of the Text, for which I originally wrote commentary back in 2006-2007. I am updating all the references so there are ones for both the FIP edition and the CE edition, reformatting to match what I've been using lately, and running the commentary through the grammar checking software, Grammarly. It's all going fairly fast, so it won't be long before I have commentary on the website for the entire Text!
I've posted the commentary for T-28.VII, "The Ark of Safety." We'll be going over this later. On Sept. 8 we will be covering T-28.III. An email message will be sent out early in September with the link for Zoom.
Please be aware that I will be unavailable one Tuesday in September, the 22nd. I will be attending the Unity Regional conference (via Zoom, of course). I've posted the commentary for T-28.VI, "The Secret Vow." We'll be going over this later. On Sept. 8 we will be covering T-28.III.
Please be aware that I will be unavailable one Tuesday in September, the 22nd. I will be attending the Unity Regional conference (via Zoom, of course). Or should I say, "re-Zooms on September 8"? 😁
It looks as though we are in for continuing social distancing for the foreseeable future, at least until early next year. The medical authorities say that the earliest we can expect a vaccine for COVID-19 is January 2021, and deploying it to most of the population will take a fair amount of time after that. And that's the optimistic estimate. So I am planning on holding the study group virtually, on Zoom, until it is safe again to gather in person. Suppose I can find a good way to do it, even after in-person meetings are possible. In that case, I'd like to continue to offer the study group online to people who cannot attend in person. In that September 8 meeting, we will pick up where we left off, beginning with the Text Chapter 28, Section III, "The Feast of Plenty." (That's "The Agreement to Join" in the FIP edition.) In June, we covered the first 3 paragraphs of this section, but after a 2-month hiatus, I plan to start with Paragraph 1 again. I've had a good summer so far, and am writing commentary now on Section VI of Chapter 28. I should complete the chapter this month and begin editing the commentaries on Chapters 29, 30, and 31 that I wrote back in 2006 and 2007. Because those were written using the FIP edition, I need to add references based on the Complete and Annotated Edition (CE) we are now using. That takes a lot of time. There are also some differences in the wording of the Text (based on the editor's study of the original shorthand notes). I'll revise my comments accordingly. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again! This evening I expect to receive a new webcam that should offer improved video from my end. I'm excited by what it will enable me to do. Blessings, Allen I've had many inquiries about the availability of my Workbook Companion books for A Course in Miracles. Many people seem to think that because amazon.com does not have new copies available, and some unscrupulous people are trying to sell used copies at an astronomical rate, that the books are out of print.
They are not and never have been out of print. You can purchase a set of the books from the publisher, The Circle of Atonement. This URL link should take you to the right place in your web browser: https://coa-store.org/collections/frontpage/products/workbook-companion-2-volume-bundle Thank you for your interest in my books. It is always encouraging to me to hear from people like you! Blessings, Allen Watson You can find my commentaries on the ACIM Text here: http://www.allen-watson.com/allens-text-commentaries.html |
