Transforming Lives Through Edgar Cayce's Legacy

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.319
So, Kieren, what are we
going on? We have some great stuff

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.360
going on. Well, I think
you would know. I've been living in

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.839
a dream. You've been living in
a dream, and the dream is getting

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.519
better and better because we have just
begun a fantastic, new, very exciting

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.359
partnership. A partnership, A partnership
who with with the Edgar Casey Aar.

6
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.000
Oh my gosh. You know what
that means. It means a lot.

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.839
It is a huge, huge deal. A partnership with the organization that was

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:31.359
established by the father of metaphysics,
This father of metaphysics, who now has

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.200
a facility here in Virginia Beach,
very close to where we live, I

10
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.799
know. And so we've actually made
a partnership with it. We have You

11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.880
know, you never know where life
is going to take you, I like

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:52.840
Kalamazoo or like on some incredible journeys
of discovery and awakening through some fantastic conversations.

13
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.200
That sounds amazing, it is.
So what does that mean for the

14
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.679
audience? Oh gosh, it means
that not only do they get to hear

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.880
from us truly you gonna say yours, truly, ours truly? How do

16
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.079
you say that when it's more than
one person. Use use from used to

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.959
leads guys to lead, but they
get to hear from some bonafide certified experts

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.280
who are blah blah blah blah.
Really, yes, no, I know,

19
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.000
I had no idea we had that
kind of cloud. Well, you

20
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.400
know that's how I rolled. That's
how I'm eye rolling right now. Yeah,

21
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.560
you are. But you know what
really excites me the most about it,

22
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.599
but we have an opportunity to actually
interview these people in person on stage

23
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.159
at the Edgar Casey's AARI. I
know. So not only are we getting

24
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.400
this great information from these fantastic people, but we're also getting the tremendous energy

25
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.319
that is all over that location.
Absolutely, and in the future, we're

26
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.120
going to give more information as to
how you could attend. If you are

27
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.959
in the area, you could come
attend the tapings that we do at the

28
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.280
Edgar Casey AARI. More information to
come on that. When does this partnership

29
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.359
start care it starts now, starts
now, it starts now? Wow?

30
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.960
What do you read It starts now? Well, okay, it started about

31
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.319
a week ago, but wow,
but the edited version starts now. Cool.

32
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.400
Well, that means that what we're
so for the first episode of this

33
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:23.719
partnership, who we have We are
so fortunate we actually got to speak to

34
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.800
the CEO of the edgur Caacyari,
Reverend doctor Nicole Charles, who is gosh,

35
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.439
I don't know. She's got like
two or three master's degrees and just

36
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.599
an incredible, incredible woman, and
she's making some fantastic changes at the AI.

37
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.960
Yeah. The best thing about it, and people can hear it on

38
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.840
the interview. The best thing is
that she is actually keeping holding on to

39
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.479
the legacy Edgar Casey teachings and everything
there is, the energy, the spirit

40
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:58.199
of the Eggcacyar, but also opening
the doors wide open to provide this information

41
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:05.280
to a diverse and open demographic that
perhaps isn't aware of the AAR as much

42
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.919
as some of the folks that have
following along for a long time. She

43
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.599
really wants everyone to get this information
and to have access to all of the

44
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.639
incredible readings and so much more that
the AI provides. Yeah. I remember

45
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.520
walking into the AAR for the first
time after all the renovations had taken over,

46
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.280
and just going wan such a breath
of fresh air. But you can

47
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.840
still feel that that, like you
said, that legacy you know, it's

48
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.280
been there, it's solid, it's
got this incredible foundation totally, and now

49
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.759
she's just kind of tweaking it and
making it just more accessible. Yeah,

50
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.560
it's it's fantastic. Hey, you
know what, why don't we let her

51
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.960
tell us about it? That's a
good ada. Without further ado, here

52
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.960
we are presenting to you our very
first interview from the Edgar Casey Are with

53
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:53.639
the Reverend doctor Nicole Charles. My
name is Will and I'm Garous, and

54
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.039
unlike mulderin Scully, we both want
to believe. So we've embarked in a

55
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.639
journey of discovery. We've talked to
people deeply entrenched the spiritual and metaphysical world.

56
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.560
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful
experiences. I even joined a coven

57
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.199
of witches and wait, you joined
a coven? Yep, all in the

58
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.680
interest of finding something, anything that
will prove that there's something beyond this physical,

59
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:18.120
three dimensional world we all live in. This is the skeptic metaphysicians.

60
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.399
Welcome to some extraordinary conversations. We'll
go on voyages of discovery, exploring everything

61
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.399
from the incredible readings of Edgar Casey
to the metaphysical modalities being practiced today.

62
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.120
We are your hosts, Karen and
Will, and we are thrilled to have

63
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.439
you join us on these journeys of
exploration and awakening. Today, we are

64
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:59.319
honored and privileged to have none other
than the CEO, the Edgar Caseyari here

65
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.040
to have a chat us, Reverend
Doctor Nicole Charles. Hello, mister Rodrick,

66
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:11.920
I know you got her. Makes
me nervous luck to live up to,

67
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.360
Doctor Charles. You have brought incredible, incredible amounts of change to the

68
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.120
organization and we're going to get that
in a few minutes. But before we

69
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.199
do that, let's just get to
the basic topic of it. What exactly

70
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:30.399
is the Aggarcasey Aar Eggar Shacy's AARI
is an acronym for the Association for Research

71
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.519
and Enlightenment. And you know it
sounds like this big name, but what

72
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.439
it really means is that if you
research your life, if you study it,

73
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.839
if you look at it honestly and
a perspective of I can't keep doing

74
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.920
the same things over and over,
you will become enlightened or aware. And

75
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.639
so that is the research research in
my life so that I can do better

76
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.279
and be better. And by doing
that I begin to get a closer draw

77
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.360
to God, the divine, creative
forces, divine forces, whatever you choose

78
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.519
to call it, that you become
a better human being on earth so you

79
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.439
can serve others. I feel so
called out. Yeah, well, you

80
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.920
know, well, before we get
into the meat of the Edgar Casey AIRI,

81
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.279
I want to know what drew you
to this type of work. I

82
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.399
think what I know for a fact
to me is that within what they call

83
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.439
new thought or or theologies of new
thought, you're coming from some incredible writers

84
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:38.800
of Emma Curtis Hopkins, the Fillmore's, Ernest Holmes, and then you have

85
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.920
Casey, who took it I would
say a few steps deeper because he did

86
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.199
the readings. But he did readings
not as what we know always as the

87
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.040
fortune teller. He did it from
a place of everything that I'm coming to

88
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.560
you as has a spiritual component to
it. And that beauty that I saw

89
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.360
that there's it resonated with me because
that's all there is to me, and

90
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.360
there is no separation, and the
only thing that separates. So what we

91
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.519
see is the bad in the world
is really the human condition not rising to

92
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.000
the best of themselves and hurting each
other. So then in a nutshell,

93
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.720
this is a place to come in
order to look into your cell and better

94
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.720
yourself. You have all the resources
you need in this one location. I

95
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.399
say we did. I would second
that because we've actually spent a lot of

96
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.399
time at the AAR and it's become
a second So I want to make sure

97
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.639
that we focus and put a spotlight
on some of these amazing things and ways

98
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:45.040
that you can help yourself to attain
this awakening or closeness with the divine or

99
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.040
whatever you want to call. Let's
talk about some of the changes that you

100
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:57.279
brought. You are bringing the are
into the future by instilling certain changes of

101
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.680
thought, even to the point of
doing renovations to the buildings it themselves.

102
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.839
What kind of changes have you put
in place in the past year before?

103
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.120
And I want to be very clear, before any change can ever occur,

104
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.920
you need to know where you came
from, right, So the mission of

105
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.959
the organization state, the purpose of
the organization state, and that's Casey's work

106
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.959
and the upholding to bring forth profound
ching that then now leads us into our

107
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.840
program. So we have things such
as we had ancient mysteries, we have

108
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.679
psychic development. We have what we'd
call the legacy, and that stays in

109
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.600
place. The changes are in addition
to we want to look at how do

110
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.720
we support a newer generation. And
so that's really been my cause is how

111
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.679
do we move us from what they
know that the other generation that has been

112
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.360
supported for years, but how do
I speak to a younger generation? Really

113
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.440
looking at millennials and generation And the
reason being is because they're the ones now

114
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.120
coming into there. Where am I? Who am I? Why am I

115
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.600
doing what I'm doing? And if
we understand human development, there's always cycles

116
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.320
that we fall under, and so
my goal is to bring us into community

117
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.320
programs that support today. We know
that we have mental health issues due to

118
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.440
this pandemic post pandemic world, and
that post pandemic world has brought in isolation,

119
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:33.080
lack of community, high anxiety amongst
many, but isolation, and so

120
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.960
we wanted to improve programs that can
support the whole person, still in a

121
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.240
holistic way, but to do it
in a very different way that speaks to

122
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.519
today's time. So some of the
partnerships are very proud to say we've moved

123
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.159
out from this closed up into really
reaching out and meeting our neighbors such as

124
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.840
Norfolk State University working with some of
the faculty helping us develop our dance and

125
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.120
yoga studio called Rio Yoga, which
is a a meditative word that kind of

126
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:07.240
is part of the Casey meditation stance
of our own and just instead of saying,

127
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.960
oh, so that's a beautiful partnership
that we'll be coming into. We

128
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.279
then have the Cassia Tarcia Center,
which really is a deep delve into spiritual

129
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.360
emotional healing. And it's a deep
dive, not just surface. It's more

130
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.120
why do I keep repeating the patterns
of trauma? What do I need to

131
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.879
let go of? And why can't
I? Why do I want these things

132
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.759
but I can't be these And so
this is the Charsison is almost a year's

133
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:45.000
long program with various levels in it. And then we have the Casey Institute

134
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.799
of Culinary Medicine. Let food be
thy Medicine, And so this is really

135
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.679
a practical approach in the alkaline way
of eating and foods of today. We

136
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.320
know that in some of Casey's work
he talks about mutton tallow. We're not

137
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.679
probably focused on that, but we're
focusing I was ready for us but if

138
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.480
you will study the readings, you'll
find that it really does work. Like

139
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.519
if you have congestion of the chest, you put it on and it works.

140
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.399
But we're looking at what people can
afford today in incomes and as our

141
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.240
older ones, you know, kind
of move to that I need to save

142
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.480
my money. How can we provide
sources and services for them too? Well,

143
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.919
I think you're it's got to be
hard balancing the legacy with the new

144
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.679
and I think you're doing a wonderful
job at that. Part of bringing in

145
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.480
the new membership, the new faces
is creating a new face physically here and

146
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.559
we're sitting in this beauty on this
beautiful stage. You've redone this area.

147
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.320
It looks gorgeous. I want to
hear a little bit more about the rest

148
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.000
of the campus. I've heard about
the labyrinth. Tell me a little bit

149
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.759
about that. Well, imagine a
me and our lives are usually a made

150
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.399
and we have problems, and we
keep hitting these walls and we can't get

151
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.799
out. The labyrinth is kind of
like your mind. You go in with

152
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.840
some challenges, but there's always a
way to get out even if you hit

153
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.639
these. So it's more of a
contemplative walk around to come out to the

154
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.240
other side, and some people you'll
notice they might walk fast and some go

155
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.919
slow. But the thing is,
it's your journey's walk. But just know

156
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.759
that you will get out of this
maze of life. So that's a place

157
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.679
that a lot of people like to
visit. If you're standing at the maze,

158
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.039
if you look up. We have
an incredible restaurant known as Gray's Restaurant,

159
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.039
local seasonal by a wonderful chef,
Deli, and her food is really

160
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.039
good. We then have the SPA, which holds all the Casey remedies and

161
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.039
the techniques, which is more of
an osteopathic way of looking at things,

162
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.519
but also with his own way of
really dealing with the whole spirit, mind,

163
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.480
body, incorporating into the tun So
our teachers are trained because we also

164
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.080
have the Casey Raley School of Massage. Very proud say that a lot of

165
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.919
our practitioners who work at the SPA
incorporate what they learn and then they move

166
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.080
over the things that we're talking about. Some of the transformative change of the

167
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.639
organization is that that SPA the goal
is to move it to a clinic,

168
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.159
which was Casey's first purpose. This
is to support our veteran This is to

169
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.200
support people with their insurance and so
it's in addition to the SPA stays.

170
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.200
We will still have our practitioners of
massage, but we would like to bring

171
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:31.960
in nutritionness, osteopath dietitians of a
holistic grounding and really expand our services to

172
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.080
support more of the community. So
that is something we're looking for to and

173
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.360
like I stated, the teachings of
the school really supports that, and we're

174
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.600
trying to see how we can truly
become more of our neighbor's keeper than just

175
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.279
the people next door. So you
can keep me at the SPA. I've

176
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.759
heard that the training is some of
the best in the country. I've never

177
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.759
been to it before the country,
so I'm proud of that. Yeah,

178
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.320
you should be. You should be. And Karen will be hanging out the

179
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:09.960
spot. I will be hanging out
at the restaurant waiting for Carrie after rough

180
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.399
One of my favorite places in the
entire campus is the meditation guard. It

181
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.759
is one of the most serene places
and yet not quiet because you have a

182
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:26.720
babbling brook. I only have a
beautiful bamboo and it is stellar. Can

183
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.879
anyone just come and go and meditate
at this guard anyone can come on our

184
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.720
campus. We welcome all right now
you're sitting or we are sitting in the

185
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.840
visitors center, and we welcome everyone
to just come by here. It is

186
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.960
not just for those who know,
but for those who have questions. And

187
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.440
so we give you the space in
the gardens to relax and enjoy and to

188
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.320
hear yourself your own voice, but
also to experience something that some of us

189
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.360
aren't doing anymore, which is just
what is this thing called peace? And

190
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.480
so we hope that we can bring
that to our communities and just give them

191
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:07.519
a little taste piece. Our gardens
are small, but they emanate such stepth

192
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.519
and grandness that people don't realize that
you just need a little place to find

193
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.360
home. That's wonderful. And you
have so many wonderful things here. And

194
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.440
I know there is a big draw, a worldwide draw that you have,

195
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.480
which is your library. What is
so special about the library here? The

196
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.840
are the Ares Library proud to say
is the second largest in the world,

197
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.000
second to the Vatican of metaphysical and
out of print spiritual books. So the

198
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:41.080
plethora of metaphysics ranges from astrology to
reincarnation on one's spiritual development. So a

199
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.519
lot of the books we do have
some contemporary, but a lot of them

200
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:50.320
is out of print and beautiful ways
to see how there's a continuum in life.

201
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.279
Also here the biggest draw is you
are able to sit there and read

202
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.200
the readings of Casey. See the
couch where the readings were done at.

203
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.000
A lot of people come in and
literally go through the logs or the circulating

204
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.679
file, and the circulating files is
more of the subject matter where you would

205
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.919
pick, you would seek to find
what do you specifically want, and then

206
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.080
we have files specifically addressing those areas
of interest. And that's incredible. I've

207
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.279
looked at those files before and it's
that there's diabetes, there's like crew that

208
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.480
any kind of malady. It seems
like you can find a Casey remedy for

209
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.759
those files. It's just incredible,
correct, I mean, And that's the

210
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:29.200
thing when people think about change.
But just like Casey's readings are of that

211
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.600
time, we're still dealing with some
of these health issues. Yeah. Right,

212
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.679
So it's like yes, Yesterday still
speaks today, but it's finding how

213
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.960
do we understand it because it isn't
a language that is of that time,

214
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.039
It's not sometimes you'll see the the
the thou but we call suit we'll call

215
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.240
more of an older English than the
contemporary, so we do. Sometimes you'll

216
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.320
find a split between some of the
work what we call the Egger Casey Reading

217
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.000
ECR, and then you have the
CCL, which is Casey contemporary Language,

218
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.840
which is more of a flowing language
of today. That's the translation. Those

219
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.640
are the ones that yeah, uh, but it really is. It is

220
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.240
like the epitome of a rabbit hole. You go into that library and you

221
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:19.400
can find yourself lost for hours looking
at every imaginable type of metaphysical, spiritual,

222
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.960
and even some to the paranormal side
of things as well. Yeah,

223
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.599
you've got ufo suf and there's all
kinds of things in there. It literally

224
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.480
is an all day affair for me
every time I come. So I need

225
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:37.359
to keep myself out there might as
possible. But that's and that's an endemic

226
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.720
of what you are doing here.
It is a place for everyone, to

227
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.920
your point, but each person is
called to a different thing. Yes,

228
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:48.599
some people might be called to the
library, some people might be called to

229
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.039
meditation. Guard people want be called
to the restaurant or the spa, or

230
00:17:53.319 --> 00:18:00.680
you have an incredible bookstore that you
have completely renovated here. That is another

231
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.440
rabbit hole that I get trapped in
all the time. What kind of things

232
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.039
can you find there? Oh,
the bookstore, the gem We sell the

233
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.240
gems of crystals and gemstone. But
you can also find the Kcy remedies of

234
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.400
the bar products there, which is
very beautiful, which is the original.

235
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.720
Is the only approved retailer that we
utilize for the Kcy products, which is

236
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.279
really beautiful. Matter of fact,
I got really sick and one of the

237
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:33.240
staff member bought one of the remedies
to me. It was the tallow and

238
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.720
I was suffering with severe respiratory infection
and I put it on wrapped up.

239
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:45.200
It's kind of like Fix times twenty, but it doesn't have that eucalyptum in.

240
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.880
It has just ascent. But I
would say that it really does help

241
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.519
or a lot of us as we
get younger, our knees bother us that

242
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.960
upho rub is the best thing and
I use it constantly, whether it's sciatica

243
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.680
pain or just that feeling of tightness
you have just rubbed on. So there's

244
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.279
a lot of things that are natural
remedies and medicines that you feel empowered.

245
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.559
It's not like it's going to give
you that adverse effect because it's food.

246
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.920
It's the food that's medicine of the
remedy product. Right, every time I

247
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:22.680
go, I buy a pendulum,
he pendulum in there to buy anything,

248
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.480
and this accent is this what I'm
supposed to get at this time? And

249
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.400
watch what happened, And all right, we're gonna we can retire and have

250
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.160
like a book and pendulum stock as
if you did another excuse to get more

251
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.960
pendulum, doctor Charles, thank you
for that. We're bringing in some more.

252
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:52.480
So find a new one. Right. The cool thing is that whether

253
00:19:52.519 --> 00:20:00.160
you are an avid metaphysician or brand
new just questioning things, there is everything

254
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.559
for anyone here at whatever level you're
at. And a lot of people don't

255
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.000
realize that you are so open and
so welcoming to all fates, all ages,

256
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.960
all kinds of people. And I
think it's important to really focus on

257
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:25.519
that because it's an incredible resource that
you have right here in Virginia Beach that's

258
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:30.359
accessible to everybody, everybody. And
because it's not religion, it's not region,

259
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.680
it's spirituality, and it's a big
difference. I think if we look

260
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.200
at what religion is, and this
is what I say. Religion is someone

261
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:47.599
else's perspective. Spirituality is your own, and it's learning to look at what

262
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.400
you need, not taking God out, not taking what your belief is,

263
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.559
whether it's Jesus, whether it's buddh
whether it's it's really finding your path.

264
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.720
And your path is yours alone.
It is it's your place with your relationship.

265
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.400
But for me, it is no
matter what this walk I walk,

266
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.079
I'm not alone. And we hope
that the Aggra cases Aari supports people in

267
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.680
their personal journey. It is a
personal journey. One of the things I

268
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.279
like about it when we talk about
it being for everyone, you have so

269
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.400
many events. We were at an
affair it was like it like a month

270
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.759
ago. We bought our daughter,
she just turned thirteen, and she loves

271
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.079
it. I mean, everyone is
so happy and joyful and welcoming, and

272
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:33.200
there's little things to buy and you
can get readings done. Those fares are

273
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.000
just incredible. My body spirit bears. Yes, we open that. That's

274
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.000
a huge event. It's vendors from
all over the Hampton Roads area come in

275
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:48.160
and you know they sell their gifts
and their brands around. So it's like

276
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.000
a big street fair, but it's
under the aar and it's always within the

277
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.480
little what we call the metaphysical realm. So from crystals to the same thing,

278
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.720
some things that our store sells.
But also you have some nice artisians

279
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.960
who are just doing their own thing. Yeah. And you also you have

280
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.440
guest speakers come and there are hurdle
guest speakers in different areas of the building.

281
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:11.359
You can experience a lot of things. We can had my eyes read.

282
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:19.559
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's
incredible stuff talking about that and learning

283
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:26.759
about yourself and experiencing different modalities and
things like that your events, and diving

284
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.880
deeper into the events you your events. You bring in guest speakers all the

285
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.000
time, not just in my Body
Spirit expos but you also have guest speakers

286
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.200
that come and do lectures and practical
conferences, trainings. Yeah, talk to

287
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.440
us about some of the things that
you are bringing here. Next. Oh

288
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.519
my goodness, I wish I had
zaire. We've planned out twenty four.

289
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.880
She's moving into twenty five already.
Wow. So we have from hypnotherapy.

290
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.440
We have a full training that is
an accredited training and a lot of people,

291
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.359
you know, when they think of
hypnotherapy. They think about the clock

292
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.920
ticking or people clucking like a chicken. But the reality is we can also

293
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.440
use hypnotherapy for ourselves. We have
it's behavior chain and it's just a form

294
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.799
of behavior change. It's like the
stop spinning of the wheel and to actually

295
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.680
get off and be like, oh
I did the run. Now let me

296
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.519
move into it, let me really
run in life, you know. So

297
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:26.119
we have from hypnotherapy psychic development,
which is really something I always make a

298
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.039
joke about. We act like we
don't know, but we know, so

299
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.599
like, you know, I knew
I should have married her, but I

300
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.920
also knew I shouldn't have been with
him, you know. So there's all

301
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.200
these things we sometimes don't even realize
in life what we do and patterns we

302
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.960
hold from crystals classes, the little
summer class in the summer, we have

303
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:47.599
free programs from hula hooping to yoga
right there on the labyrinth, and that's

304
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:49.400
what we open up to the community, and that is free and dancing.

305
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.359
Hula hooping is a form of meditation. Is right when you get into that

306
00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:00.079
move, it's the horrible shula hooper. This is not for this is not

307
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.640
for people who know. We have
literally futures someone who just does this and

308
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.759
this is it's like kind of bringing
joy to a community, building community,

309
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:14.640
engaging with new people. You didn't
now It's really more than just hula hooping.

310
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.279
It's really that whole circle is bringing
the oneness under one within the labyrinth

311
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.799
of a circle. And we're standing
around this circle, but we're building the

312
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.319
oneness of all. And that energy
of joy is so powerful when you're there

313
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.559
and you're hoo and you're laughing because
I suck at it, so it will

314
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.880
fall down and people are laughing at
me, but it's raised the energy.

315
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.960
You probably at me, but i'd
be laughing to say, technically with me.

316
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.359
But I just I love that.
I just think that's so fantastic.

317
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.480
Yeah, it just again I'm being
a dead horse, but just shows you

318
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.920
what you said. It's community.
It's it's become an experience. Be part

319
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.079
of the community. Be part of
a community that is awakening, who is

320
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.599
nurturing, who is supportive, and
who is very diverse. This is the

321
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.160
best thing about it. You no
matter who you are, you are welcome

322
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.480
here. That is and that is
one of the things that you brought with

323
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.559
you to the New Edgarcation. Right, I'll plaud you on it. Well,

324
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.279
thank you, But I I think
I brought it. But I think

325
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.519
it was always here because Casey talks
about it in his one ning, right,

326
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.559
and just so it wasn't like it
just basically everything has its ebb and

327
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.680
flow, and we get used to
things and we just kind of move in

328
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119
it because we're used to it,
so it doesn't shift. But there's going

329
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.039
to be always a rumbling because life
shakes up thing. The earthquakes is really

330
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:38.359
sometimes our own and so sometimes there
was a rumbling and then like there's now

331
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.599
a new shift and I'll have my
time, and then there's another shift,

332
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.200
and so the whole thing is just
kind of moving. It's kind of like

333
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.799
just walking through life a little bit, you know, And that's kind of

334
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:53.799
how I see the ar It's just
like it's going through it. It's next

335
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:59.599
shift, and then we settle in
it, we get used to it,

336
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.039
then we move into another shift.
I can do as much as I can

337
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.799
do. Every leader has their time, and you know there'll be another ebb

338
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.279
and flow because there'll be a new
generation that it has to be spoken to.

339
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.680
They talk about divine timing, right. Everything happened in the exact moment

340
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.359
it's supposed to and it feels like
this is the right time for the right

341
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.759
thing, I think. So I
think it's quite beautiful and delicious. I

342
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.799
love the shift, and I love
what you're doing. And one of the

343
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:32.000
things that I was very privileged to
experience was this past summer at one minute,

344
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:36.720
Oh my gosh, it was amazing. What was the inspiration behind that?

345
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:45.799
As a minister, my thing is
to uplift community, and I don't

346
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:51.039
I wanted to bring a diverse body
because I want people to see that it's

347
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.680
all one. I mean, I
really stand in that and that and even

348
00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.640
though our society doesn't always mirror that, I want to say we are one.

349
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.799
So these diverse these these ministers still
under the New Thought what is called

350
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:10.920
new Thought theology, which is like
we had Bishop Carlton Peers and who just

351
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.759
passed was the Soul, and Bishop
Jack Vomar and so many more. The

352
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.799
thing was to have all these different
schools of thought. But then when you

353
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:23.519
got to hear it, everyone was
lifting everyone up, you know. And

354
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:30.000
it was so such a warm community
that it brought people from so far from

355
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.319
Connecticut. We had somebody drive from
Connecticut because they heard about it. It

356
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:40.200
was amazing. We had people from
Delaware and just the fact that people came

357
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:45.960
from far was saying the need for
people to be inspired, and not from

358
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:55.039
the typical religiosity, but from I
belonged, just because it was the love.

359
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.000
There was a lot of love there
that day. It was warm,

360
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.519
it was cute. We were playing
and joking. And when I look back

361
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.119
at it, the laughter that we
saw in the audience was or just the

362
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.400
smiles. It was just something and
people are still talking about it like you

363
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.319
were. Absolutely it was a powerful, powerful event. Wait for the next

364
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:19.240
one who can't be there? I
can't wait. Yeah, but it's again

365
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.839
a testament to what you're ryan tow
to Edgucacy are. We talked about coming,

366
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.680
experiencing the ARI for yourself, getting
to know all the different facets of

367
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:33.200
who you are and who Edgar Casey
was, and all the things that the

368
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:40.480
Erucacy ARI offers in this path to
self discovery. You can actually someone can

369
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.440
become more involved with the ARI once
you come and you feel that you're home.

370
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:51.480
What are some of the benefits of
membership. Some of the the benefits

371
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.240
is that you are part of a
community, a very international community. A

372
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.880
lot of people don't know that we
are an international organization, and I think

373
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.920
that today people are so hesitant of
joining anything, and so my thing is

374
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.200
to say it's not so much as
a membership, though it is, but

375
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.319
really it's a way of expanding your
community. So you'll get like serious discounts

376
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.640
at the spa, discounts at the
bookstore, a discount of becoming a member.

377
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.200
That there's a membership price for our
conferences in training is that you pay

378
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.000
much less on A lot of people
don't also know that we do international tours.

379
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:32.759
We travel around the world. From
this came back from Spain, Portugal,

380
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.599
in France. The next one is
Ireland that we're doing that's upcoming,

381
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:44.359
and then we always do Egypt every
October November. So there's this humongous thing

382
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.000
of expanding your network. Learning the
Tribe was basically through the Casey Lynn,

383
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:55.039
so it's very metaphysical of his reading, but you're getting to see how another

384
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.880
culture lives and how they breathe in
the world, and how they add that

385
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.440
and really what makes up all work, not what makes up this radius that

386
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.200
you know, it's wonderful. And
then we're kind of running low on time,

387
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.480
But before we go, I just
still want to ask you about your

388
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:17.000
educational complexes. Oh, Like I
was tarying earlier about the SPA, we

389
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:22.359
have the Casey Riley School of Massage. The school is very different is that

390
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:27.200
it is under mister Riley and Edgar
Casey. So there's this fusion of osteopathy

391
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.240
and of Casey's knowledge of basically medium
health, and so it's this fusion of

392
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.000
the two. The modalities are strong. They're learning the holistic in its fullest

393
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:42.720
sense. So it is before you
touch, create no harm. It is

394
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.279
bringing spirit into the awareness and then
the mental that there's really a balance we're

395
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:53.119
doing. We're not trying to you
know, people say this person is wrong

396
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.519
or this person is broken. No
one is broken. It's just an imbalance

397
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.480
of what you know it to be. Even if it does and to look

398
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.119
what we think of as normal,
it's just an imbalance. And so it's

399
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.279
kind of getting back to that unity
and the unity of my body and soul.

400
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.160
And that's really what we're trying to
do and that we've done for years

401
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:17.640
at the Casey Riley The Blade.
Then we have Atlantic University, which is

402
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:23.039
an online school, online graduate program
in mindfulness studies and the second is in

403
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.720
transpersonal psychology, which is really looking
at the south. And those are two

404
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.839
graduate programs. A Masterstree program.
So much, it is so much and

405
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.039
one thing that we haven't touched on
that I want to make sure we do

406
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.880
before we go. The Aggri Casey
Foundation. Yeah, it is a you

407
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:45.039
have to make a reservation, but
if you do, you have access to

408
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:52.160
all kinds of artifacts and artwork that
isn't available to the public for the most

409
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.160
correct. It's a tour. You
have to request it and it does take

410
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.000
time because there's a clearance and we
want to make sure you going there touching.

411
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.880
We have a white gloves you know, these are the original Casey reading.

412
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.119
Wow, we are looking at changing
how that moves because we want to

413
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:15.920
make sure the more Eric gets you
know, curiation happened. Correct. So

414
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.839
the eger Casey Foundation is really what
upholds the research, which is his readings.

415
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.559
And we have some incredible art pieces
from various artists who have done their

416
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:30.559
work with their interpretation of Casey or
their inspiration under meditation and so you can

417
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.400
see some of their workst We could
talk to you forever and they see it

418
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:42.000
a lot. But truly, you
have bought a wealth of change that has

419
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.920
been so amazing to the organity and
we're looking forward to seeing the space grow

420
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:53.519
and become more rewarding as time provice. So someone wanted to become a member

421
00:32:53.799 --> 00:33:00.440
or find out more information about the
aar E, what's the best place go?

00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:21.239
thank you so much, doctor Charles. This has just been wonderful conversation.

441
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.519
I can't wait to kind of really
get out there and explore the AI

442
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.800
a little bit more. Thank you. So we had a great time,

443
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.559
and a huge thank you to you. Yes, you the person that hit

444
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:36.079
play on this episode. We know
that there are tons of options out there,

445
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.400
and having you decide to come along
on our journey of discovery with us

446
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.440
is an absolute honor for us.
If you know someone who would benefit from

447
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:46.039
hearing the message we're sharing on the
show, do them and us a favor

448
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.320
and share the show with them.
It will help get the word out about

449
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.599
us and it might just change someone's
life for the better. Well that's all

450
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:58.519
for now, but we'll see you
on the next episode of The Skeptic Metaphysician.

451
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.519
Until then, take care
