A.R.E. Meeting for 6/3/19

Leader: Greg

Six developed souls attended our study group meeting to help finish the primer chapter on reincarnation. We started with a chakra meditation led by Kevin Todeschi on a recording that took us through the Lord’s Prayer. Afterwards, everyone prayed that Scott be surrounded with light and love because of an accident earlier in the day.

Everyone was asked to remember when they first became acquainted with the topic of reincarnation. People brought up books and people that influenced them.

Cindi suggested an experiment from the Cayce Quarterly involving prayer that God’s will be done, but a couple people wanted to reflect during the week on some of the questions asked in the reincarnation chapter, so we may hold off on Cindi’s suggestion until later.

For the experiment, begin an inventory of what you know about yourself:

What were some of your childhood longings? What historical periods interest you? What foreign countries have you visited or would like most to visit? What are your attitudes toward various nationalities? What are the interests or talents which are natural to you? What are your present religious interests and biases? What music and paintings intrigue you? What are your favorite foods? Answering these questions will help you discover more than you imagined about previous lives.

A.R.E. Meeting for 5/20/19

Leader: John

A fabulous five of us gathered to carry on with the chapter on reincarnation. First, however, we had some banter on various topics. John brought in a Scientific American to show how the Rubella vaccine was affecting the country in 1969, and how a magnetic storm in 1918 pretty much provided its own power on transmission lines. Another topic was the essence of flowers in drinks to improve health.

By the time we got through our meditation, the snow was getting so heavy that the library decided to close an hour early. We did get a chance to read one section, “The Law of Karma.”

Next week the library is closed for Memorial Day, so our next meeting won’t be until June 3^rd.

A.R.E. Meeting for 5/13/19

Leader: John

The magnificent seven met again to converse on the Cayce teachings. We had a little discussion about autism and vaccines after a recent Coast-to-Coast show over the weekend. The question was asked what Cayce thought of vaccines. Here is one excerpt:

On July 12, 1935, a twenty-three year old woman, planning to travel to the British Isles, asked:

“(Q) Are inoculations against contagious diseases necessary for me before sailing in September? [from N.Y. to England and Scotland]

“(A) As we find, only where the requirements are such as to demand same would this be adhered to at all. So far as the body-physical condition is concerned, the adherence to the use of carrots, lettuce and celery every day at a meal or as a portion of the meal will insure against any contagious infectious forces with which the body may be in contact.” (Cayce)

She followed this with another question:

“(Q) Can immunization against them be set up in any other manner than by inoculation?

“(A) As indicated, if an alkalinity is maintained in the system—especially with lettuce, carrots and celery, these in the blood supply will maintain such a condition as to immunize a person.” (Cayce)

The experiment from the previous week consisted of words that we would dwell upon, and some of the answers given were mindfulness, moderation, perspective, and love. We heard a little John Van Auken talk about how Ra-Ta dealt with old age by getting rid of the things that made him old. We not only need to get rid of toxins in the physical body, but also in the spiritual body.

In the Edgar Cayce Primer, we started Chapter 3, Reincarnation, and read to the middle of page 21, stopping at “The Law of Karma.” No experiment was discussed.

A.R.E. Meeting for 5/6/19

Leader: John

The holy seven were back from last week. We started the discussion on what we were thankful for, and several mentioned how much they appreciated eyesight. Eric handed out numerous remedies for eyes, and Sylvia mentioned the following sneakers that were being shown on social media. What color are they? Pink and white, or gray and teal.

Here’s the story:

We listened to the Cayce Lord’s Prayer as recited by Tom Baker (see the link from last week). Supposedly Jesus said this at the Last Supper:

Our Father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

As in Heaven

So in earth

Give us for tomorrow

The needs of the body

Forget those trespasses

As we forgive those that have trespassed

And do trespass against us

Be Thou the guide in the time of trouble, turmoil, and temptation

Lead us in paths of righteousness

For Thy name’s sake

We read the rest of Lesson One, and finished Lesson Two in The Edgar Cayce Primer.

For an experiment, look at the Summary and Some Next Steps at the bottom of page 17.

1. Write a list of words that have an impact on you.
2. Choose one word and dwell upon it, making decisions based upon the quality of motivation which is awakened by that word.
3. Establish a quiet time when you read something that quickens a high sense of meaning and purpose.
4. Choose one thing in your life which you have been intending to change for the better.

A.R.E. Meeting for 4/29/19

Leader: Scott

After seven of us went over last week’s experiments, we graduated from our most recent study of the Search from God books, and moved on to our next project: The Edgar Cayce Primer.

Sylvia brought some oyster plant to show us, and said the plant was listed as a vegetable in the Cayce readings as a source for Gold and Phosphorus. Eric gave his formulation for arthritis (and eye floaters). Scott demonstrated the Violet Ray device, which he brought. We mourned the loss of June’s dog, Happy. We discussed the sources of Cayce’s abilities.

For those interested in the ARE’s most recent lecture by Tom Baker concerning Jesus and the Cayce readings, go to:

https://www.facebook.com/edgarcayce/videos/2153171908109286/. It’s about an hour and a half in length.

For our reading tonight in the primer, we covered the Preface, Introduction, and made our way into Chapter 1, stopping at the section “The Importance of Having an Ideal,” on page 7.

You can use something we read as an experiment, and maybe next week we can either work our own experiment, or come up with something as a group.

A.R.E. Meeting for 4/22/19

There were five of us tonight after we welcomed John back from his trip. A lot of interesting conversations occurred.

At first, tattoos were mentioned, and then we transitioned into birthmarks, and how Cayce said they were special. John brought up that a baby was born recently from three merged eggs, and John said two was most that was previously known. We got into habits with numbers among some group members, and how Cayce mentioned that odd numbers were more powerful than even numbers. Sylvia believes this was because even numbers can be divided. Near the end of the meeting, we got into a discussion on the Violet Ray and its healing properties.

There is a recent 4-minute video about the Violet Ray at:

We finished the Experiments book, so next week we should be moving on to the Edgar Cayce Primer. But before that, pick one of the last two experiments for the week.

Experiment: Take note of what your energy levels have tended to be like for the last few weeks. Then try to spend a little more time each day (perhaps only 30 minutes) in sincere and loving service to someone. Observe whether or not this new activity seems to (a) drain energy, (b) create new energy but still not drain any, or (c) reenergize you, renew and rest you.

Experiment: Put concern and love for people first in your life. Try being with people and really enjoying their company and the sharing and love which is possible in being together.

A.R.E. Meeting for 4/15/19

Leader: Scott

Four of us practiced being trans-personal and raising our group consciousness. Eric gave his theory on why the Radiac device should have copper. Out of the Experiments book, we have three to choose from:

Experiment: Pick one group of which you are a member. Do your part to apply the three ingredients of fostering trans-individual group consciousness.

(The three ingredients are 1) a common ideal, 2) harmony and cooperation, and 3) working together)

Experiment: Use the first few minutes of each new day to get started with the right consciousness.

Experiment: Observe how you think and speak about this country and its leaders. Take responsibility yourself for living more fully some of the ideals upon which the nation was founded.
