Graduate Projects Presented
Six Atlantic University students presented their culminating projects at the semi-annual convocation, which was held on Saturday, November 17, at A.R.E. headquarters in Virginia Beach. It was an inspiring event. People were impressed with our students' work and there was much discussion.
Projects included establishing a peace prayer group in a local community, exploring aspects of holistic education, creative images of the meaning of womanhood, a study of the relationship between charka blockages and disruptions of prosperity, the spirituality of science, and paranormal events during bereavement.

The Dream Quest guidebook says, "whatever question or problem you choose to work on it will reflect something about you and how you are responding to your life situation…Dreams do their best, it is assumed here, when you are doing your best, in your conscious life, to work on your problem yourself." I will have to handle my own baggage.
Where is God when tragedy strikes? When events happen that break our hearts? When human beings inflict cruelty and suffering on one another? These and similar questions form the basis of nearly every quest for spiritual understanding, and nearly every individual crisis in faith.
The seven higher dimensions of intelligence are within the heart. They are unity, love, life, respect, honesty, justice and kindness. Each of these is reflected in the first seven commandments.
