A.R.E. Meeting for 7/28/25

Leader: Eric
 
Five confident Cayce students continued the Faith chapter in the SFG Book I. We read the sections titled “Need for Faith” and “How Faith is Developed.” Choose one of three experiments obtained from the Experiments book:
 
Experiment 1: Choose and write down the name of one person with whom you frequently feel frustrated or irritated because you don’t think that he/she behaves or believes in a way that would be best for their own growth. Each day for a week replace such thoughts and feelings of frustration or irritation with an affirmation that divine forces are active in that person’s life, God does care about that person, and He will guide them in the experiences which he/she needs. Make a record of situations in which you are able to experience this kind of faith in another person.
 
Experiment 2: Select a situation in your life in which you feel a need for greater faith to bridge the gulf between your conscious perspective and a deeper, more insightful awareness. Pray at night before retiring that you will have dream experiences which will strengthen your faith in this part of your life and lead to healing of any difficulty. Keep a careful record of any dreams you feel may come in response to this effort.
 
Experiment 3: Select and write down an aspect of your life in the material world in which you find yourself desiring an increase (e.g., more free time, more friends, more appreciation from others). Then consider the current conditions and write down the ways in which you are challenged to grow by those conditions.
Example:
     Desire:         more appreciation from others
   Challenges:  (1) to know within myself the things that I’m

                        doing are worthwhile
                         (2) to do things out of love and not for praise

                         from others
