A.R.E. Meeting for 6/15/20


Yea, we had our Full - Zoom House again tonight!

Thank you all for participating!!! I am so grateful we can continue these spiritual meetings during this time of different daily challenges and happenings! As I stated last week, "I am so grateful for having the Edgar Cayce readings to comfort and help me process all that is going on in our world this year!!!!!!"

Before reviewing this week's meeting I wanted to bring up that I only have 2 more Monday meetings to lead.

John likes to keep the leadership of the meetings tracked and conveyed to all of us and does a good job of it. Please let John know if you have a favorite month you want to lead for the rest of the year and through January 2021. We had discussed only meeting Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 in December and I am all for that! Do we still all agree to that? Please email John.

I love that we are getting a 15-minute meditation done with head exercises and breathing focus!!!!!! Am I doing O.K.? I can take kind feedback.

I apologize if I cut you off or interrupt inappropriately. I am trying to let everyone participate and yet keep the meeting fluid and functional. (I personally find "gate keeping" the hardest part of running a meeting. I want to hear everyone's stories and opinions!)

We had our meet and greet beginning. As we all highly value getting a meditation done, we said the Lord's Prayer and prayer of protection and performed our neck exercises and breathing exercises. We had a 15-minute meditation. We each shared our concentrated love and healing energy as we chose. Thank you John for reminding me to say the 23rd Psalm!

We discussed the book Sex and the Spiritual Path by Herbert Puryear, PH. D based on the Edgar Cayce readings on that topic, and that our current chapter is based on.

We discussed DNA searches through "Ancestry" or "23 and Me" and how interesting it can be to discover where your ancestors were from. Some experiences of being contacted by distant relatives came up and that can have good or stressful consequences. One could discover that your relatives' sexual behaviors were not what you might have expected and there might be "kinks" (or "kinky") in your or another family member's DNA.  It seems one needs to be ready to accept "it is what it is" when exploring one's ancestry. One who is too sensitive may want to avoid possible surprises and not have it analyzed.

We discussed the different gender and gender identities and pronoun usage in the interest of greater equality in identifying or addressing sexual orientation these days. It can be very confusing.

A discussion of acceptance or lack of acceptance of others' different genitalia at birth was begun. Some babies born with abnormal genitalia have surgeries to decide their sexual orientation by a doctor or by a doctor conferring with the baby's family and some are allowed to remain with altered but functional enough to live genitalia. Acceptance has to mean so much to these individuals as they grow up and as adults.

It was brought up how believing in reincarnation can help one to understand that an individual may have some feelings from a past life that influence their sexual preference in their present life.

Setting your own ideal is so very important in your life according to the readings and this is true of having a clear setting of your own ideal for your own sexuality.

We read the Body is the Temple, pp. 172-174. Discussed the body for the purpose of surviving in the earth plane and "to provide a place and an instrumentation through which the soul could become aware of its oneness with God."

We will begin with Mind is the Builder on page 174 next week.

Our experiment for the week is to try and practice greater acceptance of others.

Until next week - Keep Safe, Keep Sane, Keep Praying.

Peacefully Yours,
June
