[edit] Thanks for the message
Hey Graytooth,
My favorite way to communicate publicly on Wiki is to leave a message on a user's discussion page by clicking on the + (plus) sign tab next to the discussion tab. In that way, the next time the person I'm leaving the message for logs into Wikipedia, the person is automatically notified;
Also, I will sometimes insert a copy of the message into my own discussion page so I can keep a running copy of the messages I have sent out.
For private email communications, the Email this user link on a user's page will work. I appreciate working with you very much.
Take care,

[edit] device
i loved what you did with my miracle definition. i'm glad you edited it. the last quote i just kind of threw in there but the device for perception correction thing i think should be in there because it gives a clear and simple, concise definition that the reader can grab a hold of (especially for the brief intro) the other defintions of a miracle in the book aren't quite as precise as this one and that's why i liked it. i also think that it's a central tenet of the course. maybe the sentence could have 3 quotes?
ACIM teaches that a miracle is, "a device for perception correction,"

Sounds like a good idea to me. I agree.

- Graytooth,
- All of your edits to the ACIM article look to me to be improvements. Only one comment. The wording in the first sentence still appears as if it might be able to be touched up a wee bit. I don't know. Just looks that way a bit. Your call. Thanks for your great help on this article.
- May the horse be with you. :)

[edit] Your last edit to ACIM
Dear Graytooth,
For your perusal, here are a few definitions that I thought might interest you.
- mysticism (from Random House dictionary) 3. Obscure thought
- Etymology: from Greek mustrion, secret rite
- gnostic (from Random House dictionary) 2. possessing knowledge, esp. esoteric knowledge of spiritual matters.
-
- (sub-definition) esoteric (from Random House dictionary) 1. (Knowledge) understood by, or meant for, only the select few...
- Christian metaphysics (from Catholic Encyclopedia, under Metaphysics: Early Christian philosophy): ... For the most part, they (early heretical Christian metaphysicians) adopted the Gnostic view (see GNOSTICISM) that in the last appeal, the test of Christian truth is not the official teaching of the Church or the exoteric doctrine of the gospels, but a secret gnosis, a body of doctrine imparted by Christ to the chosen few....
Your care and attention to the ACIM article thus far is certainly appreciated. Hoping these definitions might be of some assistance to your ongoing involvement in this helpful process. While there are some other definitions of these terms that might seem to fit ACIM better than the definitions I have listed, why not simply say something like, "...Christian terminology and cliams to teach how one might be attain to a direct personal experience of God."
Take care my friend,

- Since you seem to be involved with other matters for the moment, I have gone ahead and made the edits myself. Please let me know what you think of these edits.
- Thanks
