Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE)

The Association for Research and Enlightenment, founded in 1931 by Edgar Cayce in Virginia Beach, Virginia, maintains an archive of 14,306 documented psychic readings covering medical diagnoses, past lives, and spiritual guidance. The A.R.E. preserves Gladys Davis Turner's verbatim stenographic transcriptions (1923–1945), biographical correspondence, the Aime Dietrich case documentation (Reading 484-1), and comprehensive reading database statistics. The archive represents historically important material within alternative consciousness discourse, though readings lack independent validation and the organization produces no peer-reviewed research.
