I hope that you DO realize that the presentation of ideas has nothing at all to do with their validity.
I am aware that there are several errors in the Happy Pocket book, as well as WBR. I don't have any control over the Happy Pocket stuff, but the latest version of the WBR book HAS been proofed and I'm not sure which errors you're referring to (though I know the hardcopy still has a lot of errors in it).
In my case, when I communicate, I do it with passion and enthusiasm and you are correct that I don't always stop to edit myself. Many people stop themselves from fully succeeding or reaching goals because they believe that everything has to be "perfect" first. This is a very "human" idea that completely stops people from really being able to FEEL who they are.
Remember that grammar, etc. is a MAN-MADE idea - and that the Universe doesn't care one bit how things are spelled or written. It responds to vibration and that is all.
With so much content in our program, it would be too cumbersome (at least at this stage) to make sure every word is perfect. I do know that there are several like you who are stopped by this, and while I can appreciate your point of view, I also have honor my own sense of passion and purpose - which is to disseminate information.
Having said all that, the time is coming where all the content WILL be looked at by professional proofers after I create it, and that the corrections will be made.
Right now however, I just completed a house move and have fallen way behind on student e-mail and content creation. Getting back up to speed must be my number 1 priority at this time.
Glad to hear that you are tapping on your frustration with the grammar issues. Just please see the bigger picture that all of that is simply semantics, and has no Universal impact on any outcome except to the extent that you give it the power to do so.
I appreciate the kind words in your e-mail, and I hope that you can continue to enjoy and see results from utilizing the material and the essence of its message.
