A.R.E. Meeting for 7/29/24

Leader: John
 
Four students began our session and we were joined by a fifth near the end. In Chapter 2 of Eula Allen’s book “Before the Beginning,” we read to page 16 and stopped at “Mind Is Ever the Builder.”
 
Experiment: We each are endowed with Christ Consciousness but through our misuse of free will, we struggle. This week, try to see God or the Christ in everyone.

A.R.E. Meeting for 7/22/24

Leader: John
 
All five searchers moved into Chapter 2 of Eula Allen’s book “Before the Beginning.” We stopped on page 12 of Chapter 2, right before the last Cayce reading on the page (900-359). It was suggested that we try to reflect on what was read so as to make better sense of the material.
 
Experiment: The First Cause was that the created would be a companion with the Creator. During the next week, attempt to contact your Higher Self and ask how you can be more worthy of, and companionable to, the Creator.

A.R.E. Meeting for 7/15/24

Leader: John
 

After a late start, we reflected on our weekly experiment about the ideals we perceive of our country. We did not read from our book “Before the Beginning” so will pick it up next week at the beginning of Chapter 2.
 
Experiment: From 262-106: TRY in your own life, that you do not speak for ONE WHOLE DAY unkindly of any; that you do not say a harsh word to any, about any; and see what a day would bring to you…

A.R.E. Meeting for 7/8/24

Leader: John
 
Five seekers of old began a new book by Eula Allen called “Before the Beginning.” We read to the end of Chapter 1 and learned how our spirits came to be.
 
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. Reflect on how some of our country’s ideals compare to our individual ideals.

A.R.E. Meeting for 7/1/24

Leader: John
 
Five group members met to discuss our experiment during the week, and then listen to a Cayce lecture on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit (or Ghost) is “the great comforter” within us and can communicate through a small voice, a gentle whisper, or even a feeling.
 
Experiment: This week, listen for the small, still voice within.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/24/24

Leader: Greg
 
The masculine presence of three seekers gathered to discuss the last few pages of the Essential Edgar Cayce book, on the topic of sexuality. The book was completed, so next week we will need to discuss our next project. One suggestion was a book by Eula Allen titled “Before the Beginning.”
 
Experiment: Sexuality is where we feel the creative forces most intensely and where we can make great strides in growth. Meditate on someone for which you have a closeness, and try to raise your kundalini through the spiritual centers in a creative and not just emotional way. We miss the mark if we make the other person into the object of our longing only.

A.R.E. Meeting for 6/17/24

Leader: Greg
 
Five peaceful students started the meeting, but later dropped to four. We continued in the Essential Edgar Cayce book, reading Appendix 2 on Edgar Cayce and Astrology. Next week, if we read from the book, we will finish with Appendix 3 (Edgar Cayce on Sexuality).
 
Experiment: For those wishing to continue with prayers for peace, continue the discipline nightly at 9 pm. If you would like to learn what your astrological north and south nodes are, then send Eric a message with your birthdate, birth location, and birth time. With the information he provides, refer to the website https://www.karenmblack.com/north-node.html to see what it means.
