A.R.E. Meeting for 2/17/20

A chilly winter night this is, but a good night to come together for discussion, meditation, and prayers for healing each other, and also prayers for our individual concerns. Then reading and more discussion in fulfilling our purpose as a group to support and uphold each other on our spiritual journeys.

I felt such gratitude that we were comfortable, warm and indoors, that we had taken that extra bit of effort on a colder night to be there. I also felt gratitude for the experience of the group energy, the presence of which added more depth and intensity and meaning to my Individual meditation experience. And I trust this was both a group and individual experience I'm attempting to describe.

Until I was back with the group, my soul group, I hadn't realized this is what I'd been missing.

We discussed the Radiac, how it's designed, and the energy smoothing or clearing it does, and how it is needed. Staff understand, are knowledgeable in part because of doing manufacturing of health appliances at Barr, and knowledgeable because a telephone sales clerk there also reads and studies the readings. He was excited that a Cayce inhalant formula sold by Barr is not only effective for viruses, but the clerk also believed this inhalant formula could also be effective stopping the potential  Coronavirus spread. An important discovery of a Meridian Experiment is that when one of the two groups were being treated, the healing results were greater in the treated group who also performed a service.

Following meditation, we read the Primer chapter 17, points #2 and completed reading point number #3. Briefly the 7 points describing meditation are:

#1 the purpose of Meditation is to love God, not to have particular experiences

#2 for the practice of meditation, we need to find the technique that relates to the purpose of life-becoming more loving. It is not the particular technique of our meditation practice, but in response to our own seeking and quality our our desire to seek God, that we do attune to him in our practice.

#3 phenomenology: we can and do have any variety of physical and mental experiences in meditation as we open and invite the Spirit of God to flow though us and transform us. A personal transformation, unconscious and too subtle for us to see, a changed life, is the outcome of a regular meditation practice. The phenomena of popping sounds in one's head or experiencing visions in the meditation at the moment, cannot reveal the transformation over the years of a meditative practice.  We have no experiment this week.

Checking the temperature this evening I see that yes, next week, beginning Monday, 24th, is the 4th Monday in February that snow is predicted once again.
