The last time I visited the Association for Research and Enlightenment,
where all of Edgar Cayce's archives are kept, I noticed that they
had built a mini-pyramid near the main building.  Turned out that
you could rent this structure for a night - just sleeping in a
pyramid would provide all sorts of aura-improving, mind-expanding
benefits.  It was expensive, so I decided to stay in a mundane
rectangular motel room.

I recommend a visit to the ARE to anyone who travels in the
vicinity of Virginia Beach, if only to check out their well-stocked
bookstore and library (I have to give them points for having
the Skeptical Inquirer in the library).
