Hello mastreet@...,
In reference to your comment:
è There are so many things that I have questions on to,
è but I try to keep an open mind, and realize that I really
è don't know what things mean. Or why certain things
è happen as they do.? I just know that for me, Gary's
è book resonated with my own understanding of the
è Course. Maybe Ossie will answer more later, as I
è believe today is another full day for her. It does sound
è as if it has been a very helpful session for her.
The impression I got was that Ken did not give an opinion.? He was asked to look over the book to be sure it was in alignment with the Course ... and other than the fact that Ken met with Gary on a few occasions, he left it at that.
One of the things I understood at the workshops ... is that there is no Gary, Ken, you, me the Course, we are all symbols of a thought system ... and as the decision maker we can side with the Right Mind or the ego mind.
IMHO, Gary as a symbol was in his Right Mind when this information came through and it came through in a way that was consistent with the personality of Gary, very much in the same way that the Course came through Helen and reflected her personality.
The beauty of Gary's book is that is points us to the Course ... it was consistent in? that it repeatedly stated that the real work is in the study and application of the Course.? I think that is why I lost Gary's book at the airport on my way to Atlanta.? LOL
And you can tell when reading the Course, espcially for those who believe in the Course's objective of undoing the ego thought system that this was the goal in Gary's book also.
Personally I am very glad that Joe mentioned the book and that Ken did his part, because it was exactly what I needed to read ...
But I hope the day will come that I will not need the approval/ok of other's, that I will be able to trust my relationship with the Holy Spirt/Jesus and let Love guide me.?? For folks like Ken and Joe? and others may not always be here in form.

One day?
:-)
Peace
