ARE Remembrances - An Historic Photograph
While viewing a recent showing of Steven Spielberg’s classic, The Terminal, which centered around the famous photograph “A Great Day in Harlem,” of the jazz greats below, I was reminded of a famous photograph of the original Economic Healing Group from the first ARE of York Center above. In The Terminal, the central character, Tom Hanks, needed one more autograph, which he finally got, from saxophonist, Benny Golson, to complete his father’s collection. In the Economic Healing Group photograph, the final member, Daniel Livingston, completed the Father’s collection when he joined the group on the other side on November 2, 2010. At least two members of the group in the photo, Dr. Harold Reilly and Mrs. Lucille Kahn, were acquainted with Edgar Cayce and had been highlighted in the Astral Projections Who Was Who Series June 2010 Issue .
Daniel Livingston
Daniel was born on the same day that he departed, November 2, 1924 in Lubbock, Texas. He came to the original ARE of New York in Chelsea that had been created by Hugh Lynne Cayce and David Kahn in the 1960’s. He was a member of the Wednesday night Prayer for Healing Group and he facilitated a Monday Night Search for God enquirer’s group With the publication of Jess Stearn’s book, The Sleeping Prophet, interest in the Cayce material grew and it became necessary to seek larger quarters. It was Danny who located two floors in a brownstone on 35^th Street that became the new home of the ARE Center. Eventually he became Co-Director of Council. His work with the Prayer for Healing Group is documented in a book on healing by reporter, Sally Harmon. My remembrances of Daniel Livingston during the early days of the first center in Chelsea are documented in my book ARE Remembrances (pps. 10, 50, 87). We were both members of the Prayer for Healing Group, and he was one of the people who attended the first New Year’s Eve Midnight Meditation that I initiated in the early 1960’s. Though I was the “baby” of the group, I served as secretary of the council, of which he was a member.

Daniel’s Remembrances
As the other remaining member of the first NY ARE affiliate, I felt it incumbent on me to encourage recognition of Daniel’s contribution to the work as a way of passing on history to the newcomers and honoring those who came before. This was realized at the 11^th Anniversary Celebration of the second ARE of NY on September, 27, 2008 when a special tribute was paid to Daniel for his years of dedication and volunteer service to the NY ARE since the 1960’s.
At age 84 Daniel was living at DeWitt’s nursing home on the East side, but he was mentally very much alert and loved to have visitors. Both I and Pamela Markley from the 35th Street ARE Center visited with him and listened to his remembrances: Elyse Curtis and Daniel Livingston at DeWitt’s Nursing Home, summer 2008
Daniel never wrote his memoirs, though he mentioned regretting it. However, he passed many of his remembrances on to me and Pamela Markley whenever we visited him at DeWitt’s Nursing Home. His remembrances, like the paintings of those left by an artist, are more treasured now, as there will be no more. Because he is such an integral part of ARE history, they are being passed on to those who did not know him. When I visited Daniel, he would just talk, as though conducting his own life review, so I began to take notes (the insets): And There are no coincidences · The manager of DeWitt’s Nursing Home is from Mexico. He came to the New York Center on 35^th Street. He’s an entrepreneur. Connection to the Wife of a Beatle · Yoko Ono made a dress for Marlene Weiner. On ACIM · I prayed about “A Course in Miracles.” It’s a phony. Shane Miller’s Art · Shane made the logos for the signs in Horoscope Magazine. Sold them for $5 each. · Shane had a dream of Jesus, who showed him the color of his hair for his painting: Red and curly. Hottentots Danny mentioned the Hottentots in the Cayce files (I thought he meant the “things” the animal combination, the mixtures before Adamic man was formed by the Lord God (Gen. 2:4). I searched Hottentot. One mention came up, but not as a “thing.” It was in one of the great discourses: 2780-3 that said all those who had not heard that “The Lord our God is one,” have been eliminated!) Experiences in Healing Group · The floor fell away and the whole group at prayer for healing was in the temple of Karnak, then in France. (Personally, I know the space: the meditation room in the Center in Chelsea, was indeed a time portal. I experienced it many times myself after I moved in. I wrote about it in my book: Are Remembrances.) · A young boy who did not talk much was brought to the healing group. After the prayers for him, he surprised everyone by saying: “healing group is going to heal me.” · Journalist, Sally Harmon came to group and wrote a book, We are All Healers, inspired by group. · I listen to Coast to Coast · I miss the Prayer Group On Who Was Who Daniel wanted to see the Who Was Who, so I took a copy for him.  He had no place to keep it, so I give him selected information and he asked questions of who was who.  He asked who TJ (Gladys Davis’ nephew) had been.  (I thought everybody knew.)  He said he knew TJ and they went to Monticello together (that should have been a clue.)  He also said he knew Gregg Cayce and then said something extremely complimentary about him. I told him sadly that Gregg had drowned. He was saddened. · I knew the head of psychiatry at St. Lukes. He had seen every kind of psychic phenomena, but would not tell anyone because they would not believe him. Advise on the Psychic Attacks I told him that I handled the psychic attacks I experienced by using the name of Jesus and the cross as Cayce said, which made that person who was out of the body disintegrate.)   He told me it can also be handled by laughing at them. (Never heard that, but it makes sense since the goal of the psychic attacker is to drain off one’s energy. Will pass it on the Michael Archangel Support group.) On Organizations Daniel also talked about Unity, how they had spread by licensing others to form churches, then, Unity had problems, but that ARE did not do that and did not spread.  (I told him that ARE has affiliates and is spreading.  (He didn't know that the New York group had incorporated on 16th St.  Also, that the 16th St. Center had been a professional duplex dental office before they moved in.  (I moved in there after the center moved to 35th St.)  His Gem · "We ought to be positive and not judgmental.  Watch what goes on and take notes, and then miracles start to happen." Elyse Curtis, Ph.D.
Highlights from Daniel’s Conversations with Pamela Markley 9/12/08 at DeWitt’s · I previewed my next life. · I’m learning to be more heterosexual. · Cayce said man could live to be 120, minus 10%, that would be 108. People who lived a life of great pain did not want to hear of reincarnation, would not want to hear of coming back. So, at the peoples’ request, God made the life span shorter. · In one of my past lives I was a secret agent. · Bishop William Alois – The King collected taxes in those days and was also the charity collector, gave a certain amount to them to keep the people from rioting. In that lifetime, I would go out and pretend to be a sick person – Where were they spending this money…wisely, or putting it in their own pockets? · The A.R.E. started out as an organization to help people. We have eight doors; it is open to all religions… · The Bible of Mankind is a beautiful book that expresses the Golden Rule in different religions… · Every 72 years the earth’s axis moves one degree. You have to modify to keep your lead, or it will slide out from underneath you over a length of time. · The A.R.E. should be a teaching school, and go to places to practice all for free. · I am listed as a homeopathic educator and had an account with one of the major companies. It was bought by an inferior company named Boiron. · My mother died at 95. Queen Elizabeth’s mother lived to be over 102 and she had her own homeopathic physician……. · The night Any Warhol was shot, we prayed for him. I talked to the Prayer Group; it was at the A.R.E. on 35th St. He pulled through and lived a number of more years. A woman shot him, a lesbian who did not like men. · One night when I was giving a lecture at the A.R.E., I saw auras of everyone in the crowd, the full aura. I had to stop because I had to keep focused on the meeting. Paul Mathis, our chiropractor, God bless him, after the meeting he said “Who was that spirit onstage with you?” Paul had seen a figure, an entity. “He was very beautiful.” Other people said “That was a very fine talk you gave.” Those stories are too much vanity for me. So I have to be careful about that. Pamela: I remember that night. I remember hearing this story. · We were teaching meditation before Maharish and teaching better affirmations than Unity. · Unity says: I am the perfect___________, and your unconscious says “The Hell you are.” · Cayce says: “Father, help me to become the perfect ________. Let light, love and hope be the motivating force.” · We are not saying it is already so. That is like putting it over a volcano. It will come and blow it up. We are not already perfect. Some affirmation makers cause more damage than they are worth sometimes. Cayce is very good with affirmations. · There have been two Off-Broadway shows about Cayce, one of which was called “The Freak,” the other one was long before my time at the A.R.E. in New York. The New York Times had an article on Edgar Cayce in 1915.
About The Edgar Cayce Soul Group
A majority of persons who had Life Readings from Edgar Cayce had incarnations in ancient Egypt around 10,500 -10,400 B.C. during the period when Ra-Ta (an incarnation of Edgar Cayce) was the high priest. The Readings indicated that those people had been attracted to the work of Edgar Cayce. Within this wide group, was a smaller group of people, some of whom were physical relatives who were intimately involved with Cayce in the development of the Association of Research and Enlightenment. Some members incarnated at various other times with Cayce, or incarnated as a group weaving intricate patterns of karma to be met. They incarnated as a group in Persia when Cayce was Uhjltd, the grandfather of Zoroaster, in the court of the Louis’ in France and in Ft. Dearborn in early America. Many also incarnated in Atlantis, during the Biblical exodus and the return from captivity of the Jews, and when the master walked in the earth and during the early Christian era. All of the Readings were given file numbers, which preserved the identity of the person to whom the Reading was given. For anonymity all persons are identified by reading numbers, except in those cases where individuals consented to be identified, or have been identified in previous publications.

About the Who Was Who
In the early 1970's while I was living in Virginia Beach, I conceived the idea to write a book about the incarnations of Edgar Cayce. I told Gladys Davis about this. She thought it was an excellent idea and gave the project her blessings. In the process of researching the lives of Edgar Cayce, because the material was so fascinating, it was a major effort to stay focused and not get caught up in a maze of characters from Atlantis to Early America and not stray into those others side lives. After months of research in the library, I came up with a synopsis and outline of the chapters, which I submitted to Hugh Lynn and Gladys. Being a playwright, I used some of the dramatic vernacular, like "setting the stage," the "cast of characters," etc. Hugh Lynn thought the book was a good idea, but felt that the time was not right, because they hoped to have a film of Edgar Cayce coming out soon. He thought it would conflict with the movie (which, unfortunately, never got made). More than twenty years later, the original research that I painstakingly did in 1973, before the readings were available on CD Rom, became the basis for the Who Was Who. Published in 1996, it not only documented the incarnations of the Edgar Cayce soul group, but listed the complete 7,499 entries gleaned from the 1,919 Life Readings and incarnations of others given through association. Relatives and acquaintances often incarnated in the same eras and were advised to parallel their Readings for past relationships, which was done in the Who Was Who. With the exception of 150 universally recognized prominent personages, most of the incarnations were of ordinary people. A few noted persons, like Nicodemus and Bartholomew were mentioned in other types of readings for those individuals or in Life Readings for other people. Judas was confirmed as being a present acquaintance of one of the soul group. Past lives of some prominent persons like Henry Ford (See [464]) and the Duke of Windsor (See [3031]) (who were in the earth plane at the time of the individual Readings) also came through. Most significantly, the past incarnations of Jesus and many more of the characters that interacted with Him, were identified by name. (Continued on pp (v-ix) of the Who Was Who)

First To the Classes… (254 series)
The early books printed by the ARE Press were booklets stapled in the middle and displayed face front for sale. They were treasure troves of information on specific subjects gleaned from the akashic level by the sleeping Edgar Cayce. Those booklets, that are now collector’s items, became the publishing model for Astral Projections Press books that focused on independently verifying that information.
