Version 4

October 2013
These pages have sat idle for some 6 years.
In October of 2013, These pages were re-worked into a private wiki on my own laptop.
for 6 years they stayed in wiki format. being backed up and restored to a series of laptops and desktops.
Occasionally I would work on them some. Sometimes writing down new thoughts or revising old thoughts.
August 2018
After leaving my second marriage, and getting my own place, I began to work on these pages again.
In August of 2018, Joyful came to live with me. I showed these pages to her and she was supportive of my writings. This encouraged me to work on them.
Much of the later re-work had to do with relationships and sexuality.

Version 5

April 19, 2019
The OurProject organization accepts my request to start a Soul Work project
I am uploading these pages to the Soul Work site. Starting with the last html versions in 2007, updating them with revisions made in the wiki And updating them further as need be.
I'm finding that putting them out for public consumption is very different than having them on my laptop. When they were private, I called them a new religion. But I did not call them that, when I applied for a space at OurProject. The name/focus has changed. Thinking about what this idea is really about. How it focuses on individual's soul works. I came up with the name of Soul Work, instead of Common_life_theology Perhaps I should have been more bold in how I started this online project. But it is such a different perspective, putting them online. I feel cautious. Ease into the subject in a softer format. Tone down the claims and scope and such.
