Hello to everyone, and my thanks to you for participating in this program. I hope it has been valuable for everyone who has made it through to the end, and of course to those who did not quite manage that.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry too that we won’t continue with units 19-36. It makes me realize how ambitious the study guide is. It really is a long-term commitment, which is as it should be for TSK. Henry David Thoreau said something that I often think about: The reader should take as long to read a book as the author took to write it. Rinpoche wrote these books over the course of 20 years, so\u00c2\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0David made a suggestion about the second of the 3 programs starting in the fall. It wasn’t quite in line with what I had in mind, because I have been planning to work with topics from Part 2<\/u> of When It Rains<\/em>. But it did help me, especially his enthusiastic endorsement of TSK Exs. 27-28. Right now I am thinking that I will make the topic for the second program “Linear Time.” That is Topic 28 in Part Two of WIR, and certainly a key topic for getting involved with the vision.<\/p>\n The third program as announced is on Light. I will probably stay with that, even though (and exactly because) it’s quite a challenging topic. Sometimes it’s good to take on something that\u00c2\u00a0encourages going beyond your understanding into not-knowing.<\/p>\n Again, my thanks to all of you. Feel free to email me if you have specific questions that come\u00c2\u00a0up as you\u00c2\u00a0work with the vision.<\/p>\n Jack\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello to everyone, and my thanks to you for participating in this program.
