Hello garyrrenard@...,
In reference to your comment:
è It's been surprising to me that I really haven't received
è many? complaints about this particular subject. Even in
è exchanging e-mails? with priests (both Catholic and
è Episcopalian) and ministers, I don't? think I've heard
è one negative comment about the book's style. A? priest
è told me it's nothing compared to what he hears in
è confession!? In any case, A Course in Miracles says,
è "If you would be heard by? those who suffer, you must
è speak their language. If you would be a? savior, you
è must understand what needs to be escaped." (M64-65)
LOL, isn't fascinating that what you think people are going to respond to, they don't and vice versa?
Today I finished the your book.? First nonsexual book I have finished in years.? I haven't even read the Course from cover to cover yet.? :-)
I just wished I could figure out why I can? do most of my readings only when I go to the bathroom, sometimes even when I don't have to do anything I just go and sit there because I can read it in peace.?? (mind you now I live alone LOL)
As soon as I sit down at a desk or get comfortable in bed (I have an adjustable bed) I get sleepy or easily distracted.
But I have learned, don't try to figure it out .. the answer may come one day or it may not.? Even when I took the book to the job, the only place I could read it was in the ladies room.? I know my co-workers looked at me funny at times.? I would get up to go to the bathroom and then say "shit" (and that is not a pun) I forgot the book and go back and get it.?
Mind you now I could only get in a paragraph or two, but it always seemed to be the paragraph(s) I needed to read for that moment.
Ah well, fickled ... the fickled ego minds showing you one of it strange permutations of the split mind.? :-)
The end of the book was definitely a show stopper and made so much sense .. I loved the circular feel of it.
I have a lot of things to say... but I can't remember them right now (I get epiphanic moments in the bathroom and in my car, and I usually do not have a pen and paper available to write down these breakthroughs) but this was a wonderful book and thank you gary for sharing yourself with me.
Peace
