A.R.E. Meeting for 9/17/18

Leader: Sylvia

Sylvia gave some highlights of the Peter Woodbury conference in Denver this past weekend called “Soul Lessons, Soul Patterns.” She had an affinity to the “Princess and the Pea” story, and we also discussed the definition of twin souls, and the increase in the placebo effect.

We had a short discussion on a course of study after we finish Volume II of the SFG book. A lot of people seemed to like “The Edgar Cayce Primer” by Herbert Puryear. There is at least one person pushing for the study of the Cayce 281 series readings, and he is offering this link to where you can see the order form from the ARE and a sample reading:

We read one section of the Experiments book on Destiny of the Body from page 72 to page 73, however, we decided to continue to work the experiment we did last week in visualization:

That exercise was given in five steps:

1. Get comfortable, sitting or lying down.
2. Focus your attention for about a minute on your breathing.
3. Take a total of at least two minutes to move mentally through areas of your body, beginning with your feet and moving up to the ankles, calves, etc., on up to your head. At each point, feel the life and energy of that part of your body, the consciousness which is there. Speak to that part of the body, to those cells, and direct them to be relaxed and attuned to the Christ Consciousness.
4. Work with visualization and awareness at the level of each of the seven spiritual centers. Move from the first center up to the seventh center. Fill each center with your ideal. Feel a sense of your spiritual ideal touching and healing the patterns of energy stored at the respective centers.
5. Close the exercise by feeling your body to be a channel of light and take a few moments to pray for others for whom you have concern.

There was a brief discussion on the pineal gland and its importance. See this link: https://www.mcmillinmedia.com/sfg-2-resources-pineal-longevity/

One quote was about staying young and avoiding senility:

If the imaginative body, or the trained body (as is called in the material world)  is, trained constantly away FROM the activities of same [the soul influence], it – in natural consequence of things in physical being – draws, as it were, within self. Hence senility sets in. Keep the pineal gland operating and you won’t grow old – you will always be young! (294-141)

  

Sacrificially,
