Interesting question and answer on Facebook concerning different versions of A Course in Miracles where Lency Spezzano states "I read the Ur text - the original before Helen did a lot of editing. Other than that I am aware of only the official version."
I wonder if the same answer holds true for other Psychology of Vision followers?
A group that teaches and studies ACIM put together a textual history of the work outlining four major versions in What Are The Different Versions of ACIM People Study?

ACIM was still a relatively new document when it first influenced the Spezzanos. It seems Chuck, Lency, and all of POV for that matter is not really connected with any sort of broader ACIM community, as evidenced by Lency's statement she is unaware of all the multiple versions.
Being so early in the ACIM game without a lot of cross-pollination from other ACIM groups, the Spezzanos are sort of living relics. It would be fascinating to hear what an ACIM scholar would say about the POV interpretation of Helen's work compared to today's major ACIM-based organizations.
