A.R.E. Meeting for 6/30/14

Leader:  Bob

We finished reading the chapter on “Spirit” in the SFG book. We also read one more section in the Experiments book (to the middle of page 145), and the experiment is:

Observe how you think and speak about this country and its leaders. Take responsibility yourself for living more fully some of the ideals upon which the nation was founded.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/23/14

Leader:  Sylvia (for Bob)

Due to a lot of discussion on the experiments, and a brief audio from Gregg Braden on receiving through prayer, we only got one section read in the Experiments book. We are currently near the top of page 144, and the experiment is:

Use the first few minutes of each new day to get started with the right consciousness.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/16/14

Leader:  Bob

We caught up with our reading in the Experiments book for the “Spirit” chapter by reading four sections from page 137 to the midpoint of page 143. Pick any one of the experiments, like this one:

Make it a discipline as many times as you can throughout the day to remember your real self. Take note of your free will. Continually try to move yourself from living as if you were in a dream to living as if you were truly conscious.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/9/14

Leader:  Bob

We started the last chapter in the SFG book on “Spirit,” and read four sections. Next week we will start with the section titled “Time, Space and Patience.”  In the Experiments book, we read one section, and can work the following experiment:

Be alert for signs of the spirit of our changing times. Try to act and think in such a way that you cooperate with and help to build a new world. Be especially aware of how to talk to others about the challenges and difficulties of the times. Let your words bespeak the consciousness of hope.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/2/14

Leader:  Bob

We listened to Elsie Sechrist discuss happiness, but we did not get any further in our reading of the Experiments book, so we have a homework assignment to read the last two sections to finish the Happiness chapter, and pick an experiment. If you happen to choose the last experiment, then you’ll:

Make special efforts to sow seeds of good in the lives of others. Do not be concerned whether or not you will be around to observe the results.
