Available on the website for reading (Text Commentaries page) or download as PDF (Download Docs page).

The Tuesday morning group only got halfway through the Preface yesterday, so we'll be completing the Preface next Tuesday and, I hope, covering the Introduction as well. The Thursday group, tomorrow (12:19) will cover about the same amount.

Please read through the Preface and Introduction before our next meeting (11/24 for the Tuesday group, and since this is Thanksgiving season, the Thursday group will be skipping a week and will get to the Introduction on 12/3). The commentaries and study questions are, as always, recommended, but optional.]]>watson.allen@comcast.netNone2009-11-17T00:23:29-08:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/8c7cca1cd9d2bd58187101617c108763-82.html#unique-entry-id-82http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/8c7cca1cd9d2bd58187101617c108763-82.html#unique-entry-id-82On November 17 and 19, we will be starting at the beginning of the Text with the Preface to the Text. I've posted my commentary on the Preface to this website [http://allen-watson.com].

However, I forgot that I have another trip planned, with Peggy, from Nov 7 thru Nov 14. So I won't be around that week.

Therefore, the study groups will resume the following week, on Nov 17 and 19.

Each group will be studying the same material. We will begin with a study of the Preface to the Text, particularly the section titled "What It Says." Please read that section over during the week before the Nov 17 or Nov 19 class.

I hope to post some comments on that "What It Says" Section prior to the class, so check the Download Docs page (or the Text commentaries page if you don't mind reading it online) a few days before class.]]>watson.allen@comcast.netNone2009-10-16T06:50:47-07:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/4ca73bc9a746a8e8abdc8f716b2aed06-80.html#unique-entry-id-80http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/4ca73bc9a746a8e8abdc8f716b2aed06-80.html#unique-entry-id-80I posted the handouts for Weeks 4 and 5, on mind training and forgiveness.

Those of you who attended our last meeting in May will have studied through this section with me already, but I think you will find this commentary offers some new insights I did not share in the meetings.

I’ll begin working on T-15, Section I, right away! I think things will go faster from here on out.]]>watson.allen@comcast.netQuotations2009-07-20T18:15:48-07:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/f91d8325bd2db24e558b2c018684fc5e-76.html#unique-entry-id-76http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/f91d8325bd2db24e558b2c018684fc5e-76.html#unique-entry-id-76In case you are wondering, I’m having a hard time making time for writing this summer. I won’t go into all the reasons, but I do ask your prayers that I can buckle down and start producing new commentaries.

I thought I'd share a few quotes I ran across today from Ramana Maharshi, an Indian sage who lived from 1879 to 1950. His primary teaching is associated with Non-dualism, Advaita Vedanta, and Jnana yoga. What is striking to me about these quotations is the marked similarity to "A Course in Miracles."

We loosely talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can one real-ize or make real that which alone is real? All we need to do is to give up our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious practices are meant solely to help us do this. When we stop regarding the unreal as real, then reality alone will remain, and we will be that. (Ramana Maharshi)

If the mind is happy, not only the body but the whole world will be happy. So one must find out how to become happy oneself. Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the whole world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes. (Ramana Maharshi)

All religions have come into existence because people want something elaborate and attractive and puzzling. Each religion is complex, and each sect in each religion has its own adherents and antagonists. For example, an ordinary Christian will not be satisfied unless he is told that God is somewhere in the far-off heavens, not to be reached by us unaided. Christ alone knew Him and Christ alone can guide us. Worship Christ and be saved. If he is told the simple truth, that "the kingdom of heaven is within you," he is not satisfied and will read complex and far-fetched meanings into such statements. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness. (Ramana Maharshi)

Reality is simply the loss of the ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. It will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself. This is the direct method. (Ramana Maharshi)

There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in face we are reality. We think that there is something hiding reality and that this must be destroyed before reality is gained. How ridiculous! A day will dawn when you will laugh at all your past efforts. That which will be on the day you laugh is also here and now. (Ramana Maharshi)]]>watson.allen@comcast.netNotes2009-05-26T07:27:08-07:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/88dc444e85c2a5f4f53f478d6ddbc6c0-75.html#unique-entry-id-75http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/88dc444e85c2a5f4f53f478d6ddbc6c0-75.html#unique-entry-id-75As a general introduction to Chapter 15, “The Holy Instant,” I’ve uploaded a set of notes taken from a workshop I did with Robert Perry on the holy instant. The session was originally titled, “What it is.” It covers material from several chapters, all of which deals with the nature of the holy instant.

We will begin study of Chapter 15 when we reconvene in November, following the 8-week comprehensive overview of the entire Course I will be giving in September and October. I recommend reading through Chapter 15 at least once in the intervening months, and if possible, three or more times.

You can find these on the class website on the “Workbook Lessons Audio” page, listed in the sidebar navigation menu.

I won’t be able to record every day, so there will be gaps. I’ll try to fill in the gaps over time, but you won’t be able to rely on there being a reading every day as we go through the year. Eventually, I’ll record all of the lessons.

Some recordings will be done out of sequence as I record random lessons during our class meditation times.]]>watson.allen@comcast.netACIM Groups2009-04-09T11:06:57-07:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/a1202492dc19a9151aecaa83300363e3-71.html#unique-entry-id-71http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/a1202492dc19a9151aecaa83300363e3-71.html#unique-entry-id-71I’ve posted the notes for T-14.X, “The Equality of Miracles,” which we’ll be studying on 4/14 (morning group) and 4/23 (evening group).

Please note that there will be no classes on the following dates, when I will be out of town at a Unity conference (April 28) and visiting my son and his family, and attending a genealogy conference, in North Carolina (May):

Tuesday, April 28
May 5 & 7 (Tuesday and Thursday)

There was one (T-14.VII, I think) that I wrote but forgot to post several weeks back; apologies if you wasted your time looking for it! They should all be there now.

If I recall correctly, the Tuesday and Thursday groups are still on different sections for this week:

Tuesday: T-14.VIII, “The Holy Meeting Place”
Thursday: T-14.VII, “Sharing Perception with the Holy Spirit”

With missing classes because of sickness and then travel, I’m actually unsure if the Thursday group studied T-14.VI yet. If anyone remembers for sure, please let me know! We can do either VI or VII this Thursday. I don’t want to skip anything.]]>watson.allen@comcast.netACIM Groups2009-03-17T08:07:08-07:00http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/81c248d65bda150b6fc7b16c7016f7a7-68.html#unique-entry-id-68http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/ACIM_Workbook_Groups/files/81c248d65bda150b6fc7b16c7016f7a7-68.html#unique-entry-id-68Hi,

As you must know by now, I had to cancel last Tuesday’s class because of a severe cold. It’s still lingering, so I’m cancelling this week’s class (March 17) also. I was just informed that there is another non-church event scheduled for Thursday that runs into the evening, and occupies the entire church. We've been pre-empted!

So, there will be no class either this morning, Tuesday (that's due to my cold), or this coming Thursday either (because we've been pre-empted).

And next week, I'll be out of town at Unity Village. So, see all of you the following week, either March 30 or April 2.

Love and blessings,

And then it says, "Sin is impossible." That is the basis of forgiveness in the Course: There's nothing to forgive, no sins; just mistakes that have had no real effects. Let me remember that today.
