In reply to the piece below, “Peter is Understanidng Wordism” Peter says,

“Granted that we all will respect your wishes, I don’t buy it.”

“When I mentioned citing you chapter and verse, I put a little winky face next to it, so you knew it was a joke.”

“Summarizing some of your pithiest statements in one place would simply do what your archives do, but would be a lot easier to access. If that were wordist, then so would be everything you write.”

“If the real reason is that it would take a lot of work, I understand. Even if a volunteer here offered to comb through the archive for you, you would still want to go over what they did. And even if there be things that are tucked away in an article we skipped over, your blog is here.”

“If the real reason is modesty, I understand.”

“If the real reason is something you have not mentioned, I think we would respect your wishes.”

“In any case, you must realize that this is not an attempt to put anything upon you; it is a compliment. ”

Comment by Peter

I would be highly complimented if someone decided to do what you are talking about. I think my arguments are critical and it would be great if we did have a little book of htem the way you say.

The reason I didn’t write this was because I got sidetracked on your making the critical distinction between ***A*** Whitakerism and Whitakerism.

It would not be worth your trouble because no one would PUBLISH this book, if you are thinking in those terms. My publishability is long gone.

But publication is no longer the way one gets ideas out today.

I am a tired old man. You and Joe shouldn’t fault me for writing what hits my mind and missing so much.

A British group asked me about using my programs on its i-bot(?) program. I said what I always say: “Use them freely and with my blessings.”

Spread the word! I’ll help.

My wishes are NOT that no one put my stuff down in usable order. Nothing would please me more, and I would help.

I just got sidetracked on your clear demarkation of Wordism and teaching. I have tried very hard to get that across, and when you get it, it’s important to me.
