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 ...

The Wings of an Eagle

Yesterday I happened to notice a large bird in the air. It was not exactly circling, but hovering in one area, right over head. It might have been an eagle.

I watched until either the bird flew out of sight or something else got my attention, I don't even know which it was. I was reminded of the lines from A Course in Miracles: Yes!

These five notes - What the World Needs Now

Does God have a dress code?

There was a series of videos like the one below, but I liked this one best, of that series. It's the one that I think is neutral. It's an attempt by geeks at a traditional Christian church to make a statement along the lines of: come dressed as you are; you have a life and you don't have to dress up to come to our church. The comments, however, were anything but neutral.

The comments were about fifty-fifty. Fifty per cent of the comments favored the statement made by the video. Fifty per cent of the comments did not approve of the sentiment. A few didn't like it because it used the Mac vs PC format Apple Computer used in its popular ad campaign. Most of the negative comments were from folks who thought that it is disrespectful not to dress up for church. Yes! I want to Read the rest of this post ...
