Leader: Greg
New book is “ASFG Book I” and accompanying “Experiments in a Search For God," keyed to A Search for God, Book I, by Mark Thurston. We completed Puryear’s Edgar Cayce Primer last week.A moment of silence followed by reading of 1) ARE Vision /Ideal and 2) ARE Mission Statement helped set our intention for our group ideal: Oneness.
1) Global manifestation of Oneness and the Love of God and All people.
2) "To create opportunities for profound personal change in body, mind, and spirit through the wisdom found in the Edgar Cayce material."
As for as the experiment of searchers of truth, we learned if we weren’t motivated and enthusiastic to get it done two weeks ago, only one found motivation to do the experiment and is awaiting an answer for guidance sought, 1 forgot, 1 used 6 days to think of a question, if “automatons” are man-made robots and “were misused” by Atlanteans, and Jim Hightower author and columnist in Colorado Springs “Indy” weekly was accurate that automatons with AI will be here and start performing manufacturing jobs in about 15 years, “How could humans have mistreated these man-made “workers” of artificial intelligence?” How? What did they do to automatons that qualified as mistreatment? And four members didn’t do the experiment to confirm accuracy of guidance sought within by “..asking 3 times.”
We read the Introduction and learned the seekers in the original group in 1933 found an answer to a universal question for us throughout life. What is “truly valuable in thought, in activity, experience?” It is our own realization only from within and that supported by our knowledge of self in relation to to God and self to others. Meditation is a path to attain and trust this personal truth of our own life path of hope and seeking a better way.
We read definitions for prayer and meditation and discussed an illustration of prayer from Luke 18:10-14 . It clarifies differences in praying humbly, truly seeing self and praying from a sense of pride. Prayer is our intent to attune our consciousness to that of the Creator and attunement of our minds with spiritual forces in this world.
Meditation requires removal of any blocks (resentment, etc.) to the rising of the Creative Force and allowing it to nurture and strengthen our sensitive spiritual centers, attuning our mental, physical bodies to their relationship with their Maker. "In prayer we speak to God, while God speaks to us in true meditation."
We also discussed the difference in prognostication (Greek medical term- “foreseeing”) versus free will, when Cayce made some predictions, they were like "forewarnings" in that he also said if people changed, then the disastrous possibilities seen would not happen, if they developed and became more spiritual. And how accurate Cayce’s readings were.

And how accurate Cayce’s readings were.
A member named three prophecies for 1933, 1968, 1998 of the 20ish our “psychic diagnostician” was said to have made that never happened. While ARE realizes now a few published as “prophecies” were his personal dreams. And his son Huge Lynn wrote on "The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce’s Power," because as many people as were helped by his information, he was wrong 10% of the time. People receiving the reading may not have had the support and true seeking Oneness of mind of family and friends enhancing Cayce’s work. He was leaving his body and going to his Source for the information. Unlike mediums and many who expected a human “guide” who died and crossed over could magically know more information dead than than they did alive. Yes, that’s another way for 10% more inaccuracies, for a total of 20% mistakes on average.
Cayce refused to be just another medium, claiming his right to go to the source. Besides lack of group support for readings, sometimes the human Cayce just had a bad day. But his good days were 10% better accuracy compared to mediums. Also, Cayce lacked the ability to distinguish ideas-“thought forms”- he called them- from a record of an event in the God’s Book of Knowledge or the Akasha.
Our Experiment for Nov 3 to Nov. 9:
A member suggested we meditate and in so doing, see the positive, and affirm the good blessings in these times of change in our prayers. Petition for or hold a “good” vision of our petition, a cure, gratitude for first responders, doctors, nurses, etc. and thankfulness for those recovered, gratitude for abundance of medical resources, gratitude for the soon arrival of a vaccine! Seeing cooperation, oneness, unity, of our common purpose and goals, and so forth. The experiment is explained on bottom of page ten and upper half of page eleven of our experiments book, but without the positive quality and focus our group discussed explicitly and agreed to do this week.
Among prayer request for concerns are to pray for a strong immune system and immune response and protection of “Michelle” and “Chuck”, abundance of energy, calmness and peace, sense this is easy focus along with patience and strength for family members and parents challenged to be the school teacher, while performing an 8 hour job and doing the housekeeping all at once.
Next week we’ll begin on page 7, "Will prayer answer for meditation?"
We’ve missed you much to those not among the seven tonight!
In Loving Oneness,
Sylvia Raye
