The A.R.E. Bookstore

There were other things to do in and around the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach. There were various introductory lectures given at A.R.E. throughout each week. I went to one or two of them.

The lectures cover the basics about Edgar Cayce and the readings, the founding of Association for Research and Enlightenment, and some of the specific topics mentioned in the readings, such as castor oil and the location of Atlantis. At the end of the lectures, participants are given a coupon which is good for one dollar toward a purchase in the A.R.E. bookstore. Of course, the bookstore is where participants are expected to visit after the lecture, or at least before they leave, to purchase something that might have been mentioned in the lecture. Yes!

The A.R.E. Media Room

Once I felt that I had taken enough notes from the transcripts of Edgar Cayce's readings collected at the library of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, I relaxed and spoke with the librarian from time to time. The librarian I liked was the one who knew what I had come to A.R.E. for and didn't ask me if I needed help every time I walked in, as the others always seemed to do. I would still come back and read other transcripts, but I varied my visits from then on.

One day I was talking with the librarian (sorry, I do not remember her name) and she mentioned that there were eleven named storms. She said something strange was happening with the weather. I did not fathom the significance of these statements. I expected unusual weather. I had witnessed the change in weather patterns over the years. We can only deal with the weather as it happens, I thought.

The librarian pointed out that there was a media room attached to the library. I guess she noticed that I hadn't spent time in there. She said that she met the guy who made the "Master Teacher" tapes. She said he was a nice guy and left a bunch of tapes for the library. Wasn't this the guy who was a party to the litigation over the copyright to A Course in Miracles? I realized that I wasn't absolutely sure and let it go. I agreed to watch a tape of "Master Teacher." Yes! I want to Read the rest of this post ...
