A.R.E. Meeting for 2/24/25

Leader: Eric

Five channels of blessings congregated to continue the readings on “Know Thyself.” We discussed the experiment from last week and read Reading 262-7.

Experiment: In general, keep that known in APPLYING self TO that as is known, being more gentle, more loving, more in kindness to all; for little by little we gain that understanding that comes from keeping a heart, a mind, a life in the light.

A.R.E. Meeting for 2/17/25

Leader: Eric

Four fabulous channels met to continue the chapter on “Know Thyself.” We discussed the experiment from last week, watched a short video on the topic made by David McMillan, and read Reading 262-6.

Experiment: Understand what it means to be measured NOT by which you have, but what each is able to give out. Know what it means to be a channel of blessings to someone then attempt to do so.

A.R.E. Meeting for 2/10/25

Leader: Eric
 
Having finished the Cooperation chapter, we moved on to the Know Thyself chapter. We read from a file that had three topics: The Mirror of Life, Heredity and Environment, and Knowing the Healthy Self. We will do the first application (experiment) under The Mirror of Life.
 
Experiment: Look into the mirror of life as you go about your daily activities. See each experience as a reflection of your inner self and as an opportunity to meet a pattern of your own creation.

A.R.E. Meeting for 2/3/25

Leader: Eric
 
All five students met and we finished reading the Cooperation chapter in the Experiments book. Next week we can decide whether there is more to do with cooperation, or go to the next lesson. This week we have a choice of three experiments to try:
 
Experiment 1: Choose one of your characteristics or abilities which you feel is often able to serve as a channel for the expression of your spiritual ideal. Be sensitive to those who may lack this particular characteristic or ability and find ways of sharing this strength with them.
 
Experiment 2: As a preparation for the period of silence in your meditation, take about a minute and recreate in your imagination some way that you have seen love or harmony manifested in the past day (either by yourself or by another person).
 
Experiment 3:  Take time to consider and write down the kind of world that you would like to come into for your next incarnation. Select one quality of that futuristic world you imagine and write down ways that you could be helping to build that right now, even though it may not show fruits in this lifetime. Work on manifesting those things that you could be doing now to make the world a better place to experience for your next incarnation.
Example:

quality:  everyone meditates

 what I could do now:  meditate daily myself; make a special effort to share my books or understandings about meditation with friends who  might be interested.
