ACIM Gather / PalTalk Access Instructions
What is
PalTalk?
PalTalk is a website that provides software which makes it possible to have
group meetings (of any size) using your computer as a voice and text
communication tool. It’s a cross between a text only chat group and a voice only
telephone. The great benefit of PalTalk is that we can join with each other and
have meetings in the comfort and convenience of our own homes.
Your computer needs to have working speakers and, if you want to talk also, a working microphone. If you don't have a mic you can type your questions / comments for all to see in the room's text box. Test your equipment before hand. You can do this easily by using Windows Voice Recorder from the Start->Programs->Accessories->Entertainment menu.
PalTalk Gatherings are always held at the same location:
- Open Website: http://www.paltalk.com
- Select Group: Education, then Click on Other
- Select Room: ACIM Gather for A Course In Miracles
Follow these easy instructions to get signed on to PalTalk:
Note:
PCs only... (PalTalk supports MACs
using this link:

2. Then follow steps 1,
2 & 3 to DOWNLOAD, INSTALL and REGISTER.
Fill out the form that pops up.
(Hint: It really helps to use a Nickname that closely matches your name, so
others in the room can easily identify you. Also it is best to use your
most active/recent email address.)
3. Access the PalTalk
Software.
(Double-click the little Blue Icon
on your Desktop.) Avoid and close out the several windows that Paltalk may use
to "ask you to upgrade" your membership. Remember "Paltalk Membership is Free"
4. A Window opens up. It is Paltalk
Messenger 9.1
Enter the Nickname & Password you have chosen. Hit Enter.
(IMPORTANT: Bypass the advertising for other Products offered, like PLUS.)
5. Click on Actions at the top of that
Window. In the drop down window select Join a Chat Room.
When the Rooms Window opens, go down to EDUCATION click on it.
And then Click on OTHER.
6. When Education
opens up... you will see many Rooms... Click on Other.
Then select "ACIM Gather for A Course In Miracles"... Click on it...
YOU HAVE ARRIVED & WE
WELCOME YOU TO OUR SANCTUARY!
