Hi Gary,
I've been thoroughly enjoying being a part of this forum since its
inception, and I've wanted to touch base with you -- but it's probably a
good idea that I email you off-list, so we can discuss important topics like
beer, and our guitars....
But here, "publicly", I wanted to state (as many others have already) how
really cool it is to have your regular input on this forum! Definitely
expands on our understanding of the materials presented in "Disappearance".
I'm currently about 80 percent along in the book, and I actually find myself
holding off from finishing it -- it's like I don't want it to be "over"! Of
course, I can always go back and read it again.... (Wouldn't it be great if
there was some way I could actually forget I had read it, and then
experience it again, as if anew..? Wow; to do something over and over, not
remembering you did it before.... What a concept!!)
I imagine you and I are about the same age; I certainly remember Carnation
Instant Breakfast, and in fact, I remember seeing it on the shelves of our
old local A&P market! My A&P memories go back to the days when there was an
actual wooden pickle barrel, with the tongs connected to a chain, so you
could reach in and select your own pickles... I was always fascinated by
that when I was a little kid.
So *many* things to chat about with you -- but we can save those for future
discussions. I note with interest your upcoming workshops in New York
(where I'm originally from) and in New England (where my wife is from).
Sorry I won't be able to make them! Any plans for "appearances" here in
South Florida? My original connection with ACIM (a little over ten years
ago) was through my participations with a wonderful organization called The
Palm Beach Center For Living. There is also a Science of Mind, right down
the street from where we now live! So there's no shortage of venues in this
area that would welcome your workshops... (And I'm sure we could arrange
accommodations here at the Bogart Inn -- where you'd also have access to our
extensive guitar collection... :^)
At any rate, your work has certainly brightened the Light of Joy and Peace
for so many of us; so "thank you", and I'll look forward to further
conversations!
Love, Bliss, and Mirth,
Gene
