Course Description
One of the core concepts in the voluminous Edgar Cayce teachings is that our life has a purpose, and our soul has a special reason for being here now. We also have innate talents and gifts that can be activated and used with our core strengths to meet our spiritual ideal and mission in life. Using this self-study, body-mind-spirit course, you'll discover your talents, strengths, and even your weaknesses through course content and workbooks, and learn how to work with your dreams and use meditation for insights. The course includes video lessons by long-time researcher and consciousness instructor Dr. Mark Thurston, Jungian instructor Raye Mathis, and life coach Lynn Sparrow Christy, along with a downloadable workbook.

I’m watching this on my iPad and have yet to find the pdf noted here. I will then have to print it which, using Apple products is never a simple action.

The description lead me to think this might have something new for me, an experienced practitioner. It did not. However, if I were just beginning my spiritual journey, this would be a comfortable and comforting introduction to finding my purpose and meditation.

I have a feeling that I have to use the work book for some time before actually seeing or experiencing the full value of this course. I am glad that the course is short and sweet and more of a summary from different people than a several hour long course with a lot of theory. I will now go for the practical side of it.

I enjoyed the lectures and the meditation techniques. I do wish the course had been more in depth, for instance more info and examples of how to work with the worksheets. Worksheet #2 about the guided meditation experience. This was a training video, not a true guided meditation, so there were no real 'experiences'.

This course was so wonderfully broken down. I can take each part, research and find my true motives. I may have a difficult time with the workbook but will give it my best shot. I feel so much better now. Patience and baby steps. Thank you.

There is a gentle, clear direction in all he said that touches familiar chords and don't rush one through as though one is on a manufacture's production belt. The ideas shared mean something to my own individualized self, not merely to those, in general, who are listening and watching. It gives me a sense of hope instead of discouragement. It is also applicable to older person when it seems that everything in the world is for chldren under the age of 20! It helps me to consider that even an older person has a "purpose", or matter.

Although the course is put in a more generic way, it seems to be fairly suitable per se being generic. Even thought I knew quite a lot about this content beforehand and discoveying that I was already following some of the "advices" unaware of, the course was still profoundly useful. The workbooks are also very useful, although they're "simple". Also, totally worth the price. It's kinda short, and it's not so cheap, but I certainly don't regret the money investment regardless.

The overall lesson is very good. Parts are already understood by some yet reminds us in order to bring them up front in our daily lives. Best to watch straight through at one time. AND refer back at various times for a refresher.
By Vicki Carey on 8/25/2015
This course is fantastic! Perfect for someone (me) who wants to feel as though they’re contributing to the world. It has helped me on this journey to discover my life’s purpose. The concepts were explained in simple terms, by instructors who have applied them in their own lives. I just love the workbooks, which I’ve printed and used, and will continue to reuse for the rest of my life!

I've registered and attended online courses over many years. This is by far the best course that I have attended. Each presenter was professional and had a excellent command of a complex and deeply profound topic, "Discovering Your Soul's Purpose". I felt each each presenter was communicating with me on a one-on-one during the entire course. This course has piqued my interest so much that I have signed up for the other online classes and have researched the authors regarding their books and online publications. The A.R.E. should be commended on creating this wonderful series. I highly recommend this course! 5 out of 5 Stars!
