I've posted my comments on CE T-3.VII, "Beyond Perception." We'll cover this section in the study group later this Fall (2024) or next year, depending on how quickly I recover from radiation and chemo.

I've posted my comments on CE T-3.VI, "The Divided Mind." This is a long section with a long Appendix, an extract from Ken Wilber's Finding Radical Wholeness. We'll cover this section in the study group later this Fall (2024).
I have posted a new commentary based on the CE version of T-3.V, "Perception versus Knowledge." I expect to cover this in the Fall of 2024.
As most of you know already, I have been diagnosed with lung cancer (Stage 2, treatable), but I may be undergoing treatment that keeps me from leading the study group for a while. I'll post on my website blog and my email list about any deviation from the normal group schedule. I've posted my commentary on T-3.IV from the CE edition, "Innocent Perception." This will be for study in the Fall.
I've uploaded my commentary on T-3.III (CE), "Atonement without Sacrifice." The commentary contains a long Appendix about how the interpretation of sacrificial Atonement originated, including two long excerpts related to the topic from Ken Wi;ber's recent book, Finding Radical Wholeness. We'll study this material in the Fall, 2024.
I have posted two new commentaries, dealing with the first two sections of Chapter 3 in the CE. Section I is "The Need to Study." Section II is "Special Principles for Miracle Workers," which was part of the last section of Chapter 2 in the FIP edition.
"The Need to Study" contains material that was omitted from the FIP, tragically so, because in it Jesus emphasizes that understanding the first two chapters of the Text is crucial to being able to understand what follows. He recommends setting aside specific study periods for reviewing those two chapters. I think all Course students should take heed. I have posted my commentary on CE T-2.XIII, "The Real Meaning of the Last Judgment." We will study this commentary next September (2024). Feel free to read it over the summer, if you wish.

Commentary On Ce T-2.XII, "The Mastery of Love," Has Been Posted. Visit the Text Commentaries page to download, or use this link. This material will not be discussed in our group until the first meeting in September. https://www.allen-watson.com/uploads/5/0/8/0/50802205/ce_t-2.xii.pdf
I have had a number of reports of inability to access my site due to security errors. I have tried many things to fix the problem. Most people found that one web browser or another would work, while others failed. But nothing solved the problem for everyone.
After exhausting my own troubleshooting options, I reached out to the support team at my web hosting company, Weebly/SquareSpace. While they couldn't pinpoint a specific issue, they suggested that my 'custom theme' might be the culprit. In their professional advice, they recommended switching to one of their standard themes, which I promptly did. I'm not entirely happy with the results. The type sizes on my Workbook commentary pages, for instance, are out of whack, although still readable. Since fixing that problem may entail editing each of the hundreds of pages individually, I don't know that I will be able to solve that issue any time soon. My apologies. If you see any problems that you think need to be solved ASAP, please let me know: [email protected] I've been remiss in updating this blog! In the meanwhile, I have posted new commentaries on the Circle of Atonement's Complete and Annotated Edition (CE) on my Text Commentaries page (link in sidebar). These new commentaries, as of today, cover the CE up through Chapter 2, Section X, "The Real Power of the Mind."
