Gaynor asked about whether I plan to continue with Part Two of this Study Program (Units 19-36). I had not been planning to. The thing is that not many people have stuck it out. As you know, there are only about 5 people who post regularly. I would rather give more people a chance to get involved, and a ten-week program seems like it would work better for that purpose.
My thought is that anyone doing this program should benefit that much more from participating in the ten week programs. As you know, and as I learn each time I lead a program, there is no such thing as a beginner’s program in TSK: any exercise continues to be of value, and every reading, every time, offers insights. So I am hoping that you will all consider taking part in the ten week programs.
As to the content of those programs, I have been thinking that the second of the three topics announced, “points and pointings,” is going to be a complete mystery for newcomers. So I want to substitute a different topic, one of the 75 in the second part of When It Rains. If any of you have any suggestions, any topics you would like explored, please let me know.

Hi Jack,
I was thinking about your question of what to substitute for “points and pointings.†I noticed Unit 23 Echoes of Zero employs Ex 27 – A Stream of Memories, and Ex 28 – A Cycle of Seeing, two exercises I’ve found fascinating in a major way, particularly the latter. The readings are from KTS, Chapter 12, Transforming Time and Space, and Chapter 13, Knowing Through Polarity. Not that I have any idea really what would be best, I thought I would just toss Unit 23 up for consideration.
I am sorry to hear you won’t be continuing on to the next exercise where our current course leaves off. I intend to pursue the remaining units on my own for now, but will definitely miss your subtle guidance. I particularly appreciated your simple and eloquent explanations, for instance ‘read-outs’, your pointing out that this ‘new way of knowing’ should be employed in daily life, the implication being it isn’t the kind of knowing to be found in rare altered states, but available ‘as’ the objects of knowing and in the logos of appearance.
Anyway, thank you again sincerely for your guidance.
Best wishes,
David
