A.R.E. Meeting for 8/29/22

Leader: Greg
 
Five learners were present at one point in the meeting this week, studying “The Destiny of the Soul.” We watched the last part of a video covering all the destinies (mind, body, and soul). We read through one experiment this week:
 
Experiment: Respond to slights, slurs or any offensive behavior of others directed at you with words and deeds reflecting love.

A.R.E. Meeting for 8/22/22

 Leader: Greg

 Four Cayce fanatics met to start the chapter on “Destiny of the Soul.” We started with a discussion about all the channelings that are available today (Kryon, Seth, Abraham, and Q’uo(Ra)). Is channeling something someone should want to do, or should people be wary? Can we channel our higher self for the same type of information?

 We covered a lot of material. In the SFG book, we read the “Introduction,” “Creation of Soul,” and “The Soul’s Association with the Mind and the Body.” We read two experiment sections:

 Experiment 1: Select an experience which might be called a dishonor for you. It is likely to be something you find yourself being ashamed of, embarrassed about or criticizing yourself for. Turn around your response to this. What was the lesson you learned from what happened? Try to put that lesson into action in your life rather than continually dwelling on those past events.

 Experiment 2: Make a list of what you have faith and confidence in to do well. Select one item and identify what “soul power” might be associated with it. Use that power more often or more effectively to help others.

Example: “I am good at home repairs.” The soul power – the God-given talent – might be a mind which is insightful about how physical things operate or good eye-and-hand coordination. Now how could you be doing an even better job of using what has been given to you?

A.R.E. Meeting for 8/15/22

Leader: Greg
 
Five finer specimens finished the chapter on Destiny of the Body, so next week we will move on to Destiny of the Soul. Most of us seemed to concentrate on diet over the previous week to reflect the awareness that we and our bodies are eternal. We watched a video to give us a summary of the chapter, and we read the final experiment.
 
Experiment: Practice using this training exercise for meditation. Let it carry over as well into your daily living. In tense times take a moment to think of a spiritual affirmation, then harmonize mental awareness with breathing. This can be done with your eyes open, even in the midst of daily affairs.
 
The six steps were:
  1. Preparation
  2. Repeat the Lord’s Prayer
  3. Repeat your affirmation several times
  4. Surrender the affirmation
  5. Turn your awareness and attention on harmonizing mental awareness with a physical presence
  6. Pray for others

A.R.E. Meeting for 8/1/22

Leader: Greg
 
Six stewards of the Cayce material met to discuss the Destiny of the Body. We finished reading the chapter in the SFG material and have two experiments to consider:
 
Experiment 1: Work on purifying your body for one week through diet, exercise, cleansing or whatever ways you can.
 
Experiment 2:
Live with a sense of contentment with the now. Let go of any feelings of being rushed or wanting the current moment to end so that you can get to the next thing.
