Section 15
4:38 he gave them first the spiritual food (not: the first spiritual food)

Section 16
5:19 from even the most unpromising conditions (not: uncompromising)
9:56 he can best preserve this spiritual life (not: serve)

It is such a pleasure to get to learn about this tradition by listening to this book!

I'm happy you're enjoying it!

Sections 15 & 16 are ready to spot check:

Oh, he really lived up to the title of the book -- Practical Mysticism -- with these two chapters! They really were both very practical!

And the reading sounded great; I noticed just a couple of little things:

Section 17
3:53 Is it not essential (not: it is not essential)

Section 18
0:38 to comport oneself (not comfort -- this is com-PORT, like re-PORT)
8:24 the mind is a charnel house (not: a carnal house... the words are related, but charnel is even more intense: it means dead bodies, so a charnel house is like a mortuary, a place full of dead bodies, eeek!)

Did I tell you I am also prooflistening to a reading of Bambi? I had both Bami and your book to listen to tonight, and they make a very odd pair, but it also makes the whole PL process more interesting that way, having two such totally different books to listen to!

That is an odd pair!

Wow, it all went soooooo fast! And these last sections sounded great; just a few tiny things in some of them:

Section 19
all good! (I love the metaphor about the river locks!)

Section 20
7:14 law of periodicity (you lost the "d" syllable in there)
9:28 more from an allegorical point of view (you have an extra "than" in there)

Section 21
2:12 at the equinoctial and solstitial (not celestial: these are the weird adjectives from equinox and solstice, so it's solstitial)

Section 22
all good

Section 23
3:48 call out in him (not: to him)

Chapter 24
1:12 many perished by asphyxiation (not: afixiation)
2:15 soma psuchicon (it would be better if he used this system transliterating the Greek: psychicon -- like psychology, but: psi-kee-kon ... Greek psyche means spirit or soul)
5:46 to be great in the kingdom (not: to be in the great kingdom)

I am so glad I got to read this book, thanks to you! I'll go update the MW now. Almost done!!!

We had soma psuchicon before but I couldn't find it, thought I'd saved it.

I'm happy you enjoyed this one!

Wow, Kirk, you did it: another 100% completed project! Whoo-hoo!!!

That was completely fascinating, and I am really glad that this book will now be available at LibriVox, and so well read!

And I am ready to go go go if you have another project coming. The variety of books I have gotten to read thanks to you is a complete delight, and I will be glad for another.

I'm going to take a break and get the bathroom painted. That project has been waiting for about a year now.

I'll get with you Laura when I find our next project. I'm open to suggestions too.

Thank you both for helping with this project.
