The first is excitement that a movie addresses topics to a general audience that are of such vital interest to members of the A.R.E. community.

The third is an expression of curiosity about how these topics, long a part of the Edgar Cayce material, are being presented to a general audience.Spring ForthBy Erin O’NaughtonThe wheel is turning. The winds of change blow thru my hair...Are Miracles Really Possible? An excerpt from:Creating Miracles: A Practical Guide to Divine InterventionBy Carolyn Godschild Miller, Ph.D.I’ve been studying miracles for the past twenty-five years, and what I see that others may not is that Ashley Smith did everything a person is supposed to do in order to make a miracle possible. If you fulfill the necessary conditions for making divine intervention possible, and then something seemingly miraculous occurs, you have good reason to suppose that it isn’t a mere coincidence.Journeys Through Space and TimeBy Kate McRaithShamanic journeying is the practice of entering an altered state of consciousness and traveling through different planes of reality for a specific purpose, usually to serve, help, or heal members of the community.

perfect solution presents itself out of the blue? That’s when you’re playing the quantum
field.
Messengers of Love, Light and Grace: Getting to Know Your Personal AngelsBy Terry Lynn TaylorBook Summary by Linda BrownThe definition of angel is messenger. Often these messengers come to us through intuition, to warn or guide us. Every person has a guardian angel that is with him or her all the time. This companion angel was with us as far back as when we decided to come into life as the person we are today. Most people primarily think of their guardian angel as a protector.

There are certain things we are meant to experience in order to learn the lessons those experiences teach us.Your Heart Knows the Answer: How to Trust Yourself and Make the Choices That Are Right for YouBy Gail HarrisBook Summary by Linda BrownThe most important message the book is that where you are is where you need to be.

We fear non-existence.The Heart of Our SpiritualityBy Henry ReedKnowledge of our oneness with God, of our co-creative opportunities and responsibilities, comes in many ways. Edgar Cayce gave a clue about how to achieve God realization: "...the purpose of the heart is to know yourself to be yourself and yet one with God..." As we’ve conducted quite a bit of research on how to enter a state of heart awareness in order to achieve this spiritual knowledge, I’d like to share some of our findings.Walking with the Wisdom of All Traditions: An Interview with Sage Bennet, Author of Wisdom Walk: Nine Practices for Creating Peace and Balance from the World’s Spiritual TraditionsPeople can learn ways to reduce stress and find balance in their lives from overworking and other addictive behaviors by following simple wisdom practices such as creating a home altar, meditating and finding peace, surrendering to prayer, forgiveness, letting nature be our teacher, visioning, learning to go with the flow, and service.The Power of AwarenessAn excerpt from
The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of AwarenessBy Richard Moss, M.D.Any story you tell yourself about who you are, any belief you have, any feeling you are aware of, is only an object of your larger consciousness. You, in your essence, are always something that experiences all these and remains more complete than any of them.

An atmosphere of faith-based paranoia permeates a portion of our cultural climate. Unlike the Europeans, whose educations have included a thorough steeping in religious studies, we do not -- cannot -- view religion objectively. Instead, we clutch our Bibles to our bosoms and with varying degrees of emotional fervor, proclaiming ourselves "a religious nation."Breatkthrough!By Alan WattsAn excerpt from his autobiography:
In My Own Way
The power of something so apparently simple-and so seemingly absurd-as mantra- and om-chanting
is that it fosters a relaxed concentration on pure sound, as distinct from words, ideas, and
abstractions, and thus brings attention to bear on reality itself.

While residing in cabins located within a wooded sanctuary, the participants worked together under the assumption that the purpose of prophecy is to engage people in the co-creation of the future. The group gatherings involved discussions of ideas, possibilities, and experiences. We also took advantage of special technologies developed at Atlantic University that allow the participants to “channel” their own contribution to the information pool surrounding our investigations.Return of the GoddesBy Edward C. WhitmontBook summary by Jan KruyffHistory demonstrates that consciousness evolves in steps and phases. The study of consciousness tells us we are in the midst of one such transitional phase.

Radical Knowing: Understanding Consciousness through Relationship
This may come as a surprise to some people: You cannot not be in relationship. It is a fact of life. Yet so many of us spend a lot of our precious time and money
trying to find relationships, or the perfect one. But after some reflection and clear thinking we come to recognize a basic, simple fact: We are always in
relationship ... of some kind. It's part of the welcome package we get on arrival into this world. Every one of us—no exceptions—gets the basic package:
a body, a mind, and relationships.
Renaissance II: Rebirth in the New Clear AgeBy Donn O'ConnorA summary by the authorEdgar Cayce, a dedicated Christian, was somewhat dismayed to learn that he had, while in a self-induced trance state, made a statement referring to reincarnation, since he had considered the concept to be "the work of the Devil." Such would be a normal reaction, since it is not commonly known that Christianity's theological foundation, rather than having been based on sacred Hebrew documents and the oral teachings of Jesus, was established principally on the philosophy of Plato, and reincarnation represented the very foundation of Plato's teaching.WHERE IS GOD?By John WelshonsBased on his book, When Prayers Aren't Answered
