A Search for God: Edgar Cayce’s Roadmap to Enlightenment • December 29-31, 2017

Many people find that small group work helps enhance and accelerate their spiritual growth process. You’ll also get tips for starting a new study group, working with person-alities and dynamics within the group, and guidance for energizing an existing group. A current long-time study group member tells us: “I had no idea how life-changing joining this group would be. I have learned so much about myself and about my soul purpose. And, I’ve made some very dear friends who challenge me to be a better person.”SPECIAL STUDY GROUP DISCOUNT OFFER: Special group rates and scholar-ships available to current Study Group members. Contact Karen Boldt at 800-333-4499 x7166 for more information.

You don’t need to be in a study group to benefit from these soul-expanding lessons.Explore this great work and learn to apply these lessons to your daily life to accelerate your own spiritual awakening. Whether you study these profound teachings individually or with a partner or group, you will find them to be an ever-helpful source for continued growth and inner peace.

The lessons and wisdom contained in the A Search for God materials can help you:

The life-changing lessons in the A Search for God material, considered by many to be Edgar Cayce’s greatest legacy, were given in response to a small group of people interested in Cayce’s psychic gift. They asked him for a reading on how they too might help bring light and truth to a waiting world. So began a series of readings on spiritual laws and their application—twelve simple yet challenging steps to spiritual advancement—now studied by tens of thousands of people all over the world.

• Practice and apply spiritual techniques and concepts in a supportive, nurturing environment

• Understand the power of the Ideal and your life’s mission and purpose

• Unite spirit, mind, and body to live a more holistic life

• Improve your relationships through the power of prayer, forgiveness, and cooperation

• Relate more fully to God and humanity and live life more abundantly

• Consciously work with the Universal Laws and the creative forces

• Extend unconditional love and service to others

Begin the New Year with an exciting celebration with music, dancing, fellowship, food, party favors, and fun, followed by a peaceful midnight meditation to usher in the New Year.
