Dear Diane Youngs,
This letter replies to your letter informing me I must remove all Shanti Christo Foundation material from my certified web page ShantiChristoWisdom.com by June 15th, 2007.
Your demands will be complied with as demanded by June 15th, 2007.
People coming to ShantiChristoWisdom.com will be greeted by the invitation to read or listen to the Opening statement as it is now given. The next item on the page will show your letter to me and an audio clip of me reading your demand to remove all material. I must provide an explanation to the viewers as to why Shanti Christo lesson are no longer available to them.
The next item to appear on the site will be the letter I am now composing given in both written and audio format. From this point forward all correspondence between the Shanti Christo Foundation and Charles McGee will appear on ShantiChristoWisdom.com.
I will now explain how ShantiChristoWisdom.com became what it now is. I can not provide exact times of occurrences because records have disappeared so this will be a general time presentation. Some years ago I requested from you, Diane, a face to face encounter to discuss the possibility of me developing a internet web page to present the Shanti Christo material to the world. You granted me the opportunity and myself and my wife made the trip from Tucson, AZ to your home in Sedona, AZ. I had prepared for this encounter and brought to you material outlines of what was then a dream of what might be in the future. You took some of my proposal and told me you would take this mater to the Shanti Christo Board for consideration and would keep me informed. I left you with that understanding. This week I received your reply to my request by your order to quit all reasonable teaching of Shanti Christo.
I have for a long time been listed on the Shanti Christo web page as a class facilitator in Tucson, AZ. I was still so listed when I looked this week. I have brought 3 separate classes through from lesson 1 through lesson 35. We spent 3 years with the material in each class. In all of my groups I spoke many times of the need of a teaching program on the internet. A number of students asked about my attempts to join with Shanti Christo Foundation. A reply was never given.
In the final outcome ShantiChristoWisdom.com was born because I was provided 2 hours a week of class time to present Shanti Christo material to the people coming to the Paltalk room ACIM Gather for A Course in Miracles. A gentleman made a decision that there was value in what I was doing and he started recording my presentation and then making the recoding available to others at his web site at a later time. The outcome was that I made a 3 year commitment to lead a group through the material every Tuesday night and we began the study in January of 2006. This group is now doing lesson number 18 in the series. It later was determined that a personal web page was in order and ShantiChristoWisdom.com was born.
In doing my Paltalk presentation I simply used the material I had developed to bring forth my 3 live class that I held at various places over there 3 year life spans. I never considered this practice to be objectionable to the Shanti Christo Foundation but a normal way to bring Jeshua ben Joseph to the student doing the learning. In all instances I was presenting exactly what was provided by Shanti Christo foundation sources.
I am assuming that the letter ordering me to cease and desist must be applied to my class held at Paltalk as well. Without the ability to bring the teacher Jeshua ben Joseph to the classroom no true teaching is possible. All Charles can bring is Charles’ opinion of what he hears the teacher say. The truth is in the Master Teacher Jeshua ben Joseph.
Included in this letter to Diane Youngs are 2 separate Usage Statistics for Shantichristowisdom.com. I bring to your attention that for the period starting in February 2007 to June 6, 2007 this data has been gathered: there has been 22,538 times that the site has been opened by the world public. There have been 3,694 actual visits by people stopping and spending time at that visit.
It is my intention to continue this web site and this letter will continue to appear to all that come. Jeshua ben Joseph must come out of the darkness of being buried in the sales room of people who believe He only whishes to speak to people who have money to pay for the privilege of hearing. In my relationship with Jeshua He has told me that he wants the entire world to hear Him speak of the most important things in the entire world. Can you just imagine that day when he went to the mountain, for a sermon, that he directed his disciples to set up a gate and to charge all who enter a fee to hear him speak?????
In conclusion I state that all that I have presented is that which Jeshua ben Joseph has delivered to me through Shanti Christo Foundation. There is nothing to buy at this web site and there has never been any thing to buy here. I am 79 years old and I work a full 40 hour a week job to support myself and my wife. I don’t know where Charles goes from here but we will find out.
It would be my hope that you personally go to www.shantichristowisdom.com and listen to my opening statement to newcomers to the page. I would like you to observe the nature of a study class so you become aware of what is really happening at the site. If you do not do this you lose all opportunity to see a truly well functioning teaching learning operation actually occurring.
Offering Peace Love Joy
Charles McGee
