Experiment: As we wait the second coming, let us help prepare a way and call on Him to help us in these times. Try to eliminate prejudice, avarice, and vice of all natures that holds sway in the flesh.

Leader: Eric
 
Five attuning Cayce disciples met to continue with the lessons as presented in the Essential Edgar Cayce book.  We started Chapter 7, “Esoteric Christianity.” We read up to page 269 and will start “A Clairvoyant View of Jesus the Man” next week.
 
Experiment: In meditation this week, use the Lord’s Prayer to awaken our chakras and attempt to attune ourselves to the Christ Consciousness within. For extra credit, use this attunement to attempt contact directly with Christ.

A.R.E. Meeting for 4/15/24

Leader: Greg (for Eric)
 
Four happy Cayce followers met to continue with the lessons as presented in the Essential Edgar Cayce book.  We covered The Cross and the Crown, The Lord Thy God is One, and Love. We read up to page 257 and will start Chapter 7 on Esoteric Christianity next week.
 
Experiment: Life is One, for life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not the goal (thank you to Longfellow). When all aspects of life are one, all thoughts are one, and everything offers us a lesson. As mentioned in the lesson on Love, in our daily walks of life, do the best we can with what presents itself. Find love in whatever the hands find to do, glorifying the expression “As ye do it unto the least of these, my little ones, ye do it unto me.”

Experiment: Seek to abide in God’s presence and let Him handle our worries and help us to find joy. Keep Him in mind, say a prayer often, then leave everything up to Him.

Five Cayce students united in brotherhood to continue with the lessons as presented in the Essential Edgar Cayce book.  We covered Faith, Virtue and Understanding, and Fellowship. We read up to page 244 and will start the section on Patience next week.
 
Experiment: Brotherhood relates to our personal relationship with other people. Fellowship is our personal relationship to God, which allows us to express love to others. This week, be a role model, and treat others with respect and fairness, regardless of their background or beliefs.

Leader: Cindi
 
Five SFG gurus joined together to review some brief concepts from the SFG Book I as presented in the Essential Edgar Cayce book (Cooperation, Know Thyself, and What is My Ideal?). We read up to page 239, and will start the section on Faith next week, when Eric is our leader.
 
Experiment: Practice the ideal of wholeness, of oneness, of unity. This is the ideal that Cayce especially encourages us to pay attention to, nurture, and invite into our lives most fully.

A.R.E. Meeting for 3/18/24

 Leader: Cindi

Four spiritual students gathered to learn what Cayce considered to be a great life. It has to do with humility, knowledge, and understanding. The first part is knowing the Lord and His Goodness. The second part is becoming a messenger. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book we read up to page 232 in Chapter 6.

Experiment: Be a humble messenger (a channel or an example) in our activities with our fellow man. This service should come from our knowledge and understanding, otherwise we won’t achieve the results we hoped for. Base this effort on knowing the Lord and His Goodness.

A.R.E. Meeting for 3/11/24

Leader: Cindi
 
All five Cayce colleagues gave their experiences with the experiment on “let go, let God.” Afterward, we watched a video on a near-death experience called “Clinically Dead for 20 Minutes and Came Back with a Message,” that Monica discovered. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book we read up to page 228 in Chapter 6.
 
Experiment: Be aware of when we make judgments of people this week. We don’t know their whole story. Pray for them and our enemies.

Four talented Cayce practitioners met to discuss their search for their soul’s mission this past week. After that, we read from the Essential Edgar Cayce book. The section was “The Soul’s Talents as a Two-Edged Sword,” taking us up to page 225.
 
Experiment: Dwell on surrendering ourselves to God, or to “Let go and let God.”

A.R.E. Meeting for 2/26/24

Leader: John
 
Five patient and tolerant Cayce acolytes met to determine their soul’s mission. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book, we read through reading 442-3 and are now up to page 218, and ready next week to start the section “The Soul’s Talents as a Two-Edgeds Word.”
 
Experiment: Reflect during the week on your soul’s mission, possibly with meditation and prayer, and try to live that mission. Remember, that if we don’t become weary in well-doing, we receive a gift of divine protection, as we live our mission.

A.R.E. Meeting for 2/19/24

Experiment: Be kind, be noble (showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals), and be constructive (that which produces better citizens, better fathers/mothers, and better neighbors).

Five fortuitous friends gathered in fellowship to study the concept of rejuvenation. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book, we are now up to page 205, and ready to start Chapter 5 (The Soul’s Journey: Reincarnation and Life Purpose).

Leader: John
 
Five old souls covered the cause and treatments of headaches, indigestion, and sinusitis. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book, we are now up to page 200, and ready to start the section on rejuvenation.
 
Experiment: Budget your time so as to take time for rest and recuperation. Take time for activities in which the exercising of the body-physical makes for resuscitation and not for detrimental conditions. 

A.R.E. Meeting for 1/29/24

Leader: Greg
 
Five high-spirited individuals started off discussing diet and how to improve our assimilation of good nutrients. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book, we started the section “The Common Cold” in Chapter 4 and read through reading 902-1. We are now up to page 190, and ready to start the section on headaches.
 
Experiment: This week, keep a near-normal balance of diet (acid vs alkaline), rest, and body temperature to avoid illnesses, like the cold. Also, be aware that you can become susceptible to a condition by psychologically dwelling on it.

We are now up to page 186, and ready to start the section on the common cold.

Experiment: This week use daily exercise to bring strength to the lungs, vitality to the blood supply, and new life to the muscular forces of the body as Cayce would say (4462-1). Cayce recommended vertical exercises in the morning and horizontal ones that exercised the legs and lower torso in the evening.

A.R.E. Meeting for 1/8/24

Leader: Greg
 
The gang of five rang in the new year with our love of Cayce and the ARE. In the Essential Edgar Cayce book, we read the section on “The Workshop of Marriage” and made it through Reading 480-20. We are now up to page 164, and ready to start Chapter 4.
 
Experiment: Keep balance in all things physical and mental this week. Attempt to not overeat, overdrink, overthink, or overreact. Find balance in your relationships, and when troubles arise, strive for peace and joy over dissension and strife.
