As I do every year, I'm taking a summer break to get ahead on my commentary writing. The study group will resume the Tuesday after Labor Day. Whether that will be live and in person, or via Zoom, remains to be seen. I'll announce it here and to my email list before the time.

I am continuing to write commentary over the summer and will be uploading them to this website ("Allen's Text Commentaries" page). I won't be announcing each upload in my blog or via email, since the weekly meetings are not taking place. When I announce the first September meeting, I'll include a link to the relevant commentary or commentaries for that week. I hope to complete Chapter 28 over the summer, and possibly beyond that.

I continue to upload Workbook commentaries as well. Now done: 1 to 213, and 341 to 265. I'm making certain to keep ahead of the current calendar date so you won't miss any if following the calendar. Also, I'm completing both indices, by lesson number and by calendar date.

I have created a second Workbook Lesson Index table, this one by calendar date. The months are there in 12 columns, with the day numbers from 1 to 30 or 31 in the column below serving as links to the lesson to be read on that date, assuming you start in on January 1.

At present the lesson files are up from 1 to 181 (end of June), and some more at the end of the year (not yet linked in the calendar). As I upload lesson files I will activate the links in both tables. I plan to stay well ahead of the current date, as I am now, so you should be able to rely on these tables for the rest of this year and beyond.

I have posted a commentary on T-28.II, "Reversing Cause and Effect." It contains a 3-page addendum on the meaning and nature of  creation as the Course uses the word. On Tuesday, 06/16/2020, we will continue study of Section I, "Remembering the Present," from Paragraph 9 (after a quick review of ❡ 1–8). We may get into the first few paragraphs of Section II, so try to have notes for both sections available.

I've posted the commentary on T-28.I, all fifteen paragraphs of it. This is exciting for me because I am starting in on the last chapter I have to write commentary for. The remaining chapters already have commentary I wrote back in 2006–2007. I will go over it and edit, possibly add to it, and reformat it to resemble the rest of my recent commentaries, but the bulk of the work is done.

Also: I have posted an updated ​commentary on T-27.XI, "The Secret of Salvation." I made a few minor edits but I've added an Addendum on the subject of "Spiritual Bypass," discussing how the "secret," "I am doing this to myself," can be mis-used if we apply it to others.

I've been working diligently lately on uploading the HTML versions of my Workbook commentaries. I've got about half of them uploaded, including lesson 1 thru 90 and 107 thru 170. I'll fill in the gap next time I upload, but the currently uploaded lessons cover the lessons for the next several days through June 19 (for those who began on Jan 1), and I plan to keep ahead of the current day so you can always find the current commentary here. Click "Workbook Lesson Index" and then click the number of the lesson you want.

Eventually, I will add a second index that goes by dates.

The commentary on T-27.X!, "The Secret of Salvation," has been posted. We will finish 27.X and cover 27.XI next Tuesday, 05/26/2020.

There will be no Zoom ACIM meeting the first Tuesday in June, 6/2/2020.

I've uploaded the commentary for T-27.X, "Laughing Away the Tiny, Mad Idea." We'll be studying this section next Tuesday, 05/19/2020.

Starting yesterday, I will be sending out a weekly email message to everyone on my mailing list with a link to the latest commentary. You can still find all the commentaries on my website using the "Allen's Text Commentaries" link in the sidebar. If you are not already on the mailing list, use the sidebar link to "ONLINE STUDY GROUP" and scroll to the bottom and fill out the form. The only required field is your email address, but I'd like to have your first and last name as well.

In the commentary for T-15.V.5, I referred to a set of notes titled "Changing the Purpose of Relationships," with a link that no longer works. I have uploaded that set of notes (from a workshop we did in Sedona) and intend to update the link in that commentary.

Last week, I created a new discussion forum for all ACIM students, mostly for those who attend the online study group. It's called ACIMPDX, and can be found online at acimpdx.flarum.cloud. If you'd like to join in the discussions there, just sign up; it's open to everyone.

I've posted commentary for T-27.IX, "The Dreamer of the Dream." We'll be studying this in a week or so. Tomorrow, Tuesday, 05/05/2020, we will pick up with T-27.VII,"Sin's Witnesses,"  paragraphs 5 through 7, and go on to T-27.VIII, "The Cause of Suffering."

I've posted the commentary for T-27.VIII, "The Cause of Suffering." We will be using this a week from tomorrow, on 05/05/2020. Tomorrow, Tuesday, 2020-04-28, we will continue with T-27.VI, and go on to T-27.VII.

I've posted the commentary on T-27.VII, "Sin's Witnesses." Click the preceding link to download it.
I've run into some problems preparing the recorded video for today, 4/21. I expect to make it available tomorrow or the day after.
