(Q) What is meant by environments carried on to the
reentering of the entity?
(A) In this specific place, meant that relating to the body,
Edgar Cayce, in the psychic state, and the environment of
the mind questioning and following the questions and answers
given. In the broader sense, this means the environment
creating in the mind the mentality of the physical body in
earth's plane, and furnishing that upon which the soul, so to
speak, feeds upon, and being the environment as would be the
companion of the soul in the spiritual sphere. For, as we
find in the spiritual entity the subconscious, the physical
world becomes the conscious, in the spiritual, and that known
in the physical as the super-conscious, as the subconscious
in the spiritual sphere. Hence that entity in the spiritual
sphere reaches the developments as attained through the
environments, reaching from one sphere to another, as would
be given in this: Not who would ascend into heaven to bring
God to earth, or who would descend into the depths to bring
him up, for He is ever near, within each own heart.
Then, as we see, environment brings this condition in the
development of an entity, through the physical or material
sphere. We find and entity in the spiritual sphere entering
in the material sphere, in that condition necessary for the
entity's development in the material sphere. The
environments about that entity becoming the portions in the
subconscious that the soul and spirit feeds upon, or
develops through, by the action upon in the spiritual sphere
of the spiritual understanding of conditions. Hence an
entity in the physical that lives more in the subconscious
is spoken of as a spiritual minded individual.
(Q) Make clear what is meant by "in that of the spirit and
soul forces thought and memory are as the entity."
(A) This, as we find, comes in that condition wherein a
material entity may wonder whether thought in memory, or
memory thought, for we find that the indwelling of the
subconscious forces, in the spiritual entity, entering the
material planes, bring gradually the thought of the
development necessary for the entity's development towards
the higher realm. Hence where will again enters into the
condition of being the opposition of soul and spirit forces.
For we find, when thought would take the possession if the
inmost soul or being of an entity, that this is as of
memory necessary for development of entity; when such
conditions are willfully banished for the lighter conditions,
that would remove the necessary environment, for development,
the body is exercising thought and memory by will's forces.
Not that any entity should enter into any condition that
would so unbalance the mind (conscious we are speaking of),
as to bring upon itself condemnation but rather that, that
will make the balanced mind. For the bringing of
condemnation from other minds becomes environment in the
mind itself. Separate these. Correlate these as truths
given here, for this is the basis of heredity and
environment. Break not the will of an entity, rather guide,
guard and direct same in those channels through the
development, for we all must pay the price necessary for
development of self. Hence, never give to an entity a
dictum, for that entity. Rather outline that as found in
self, and let others apply same to self. For the mind
partakes of memory and thought of its own, and takes that
necessary for its own development. For, as has been given,
think not to stand alone. Immediately given, think not to
induce others to think as self.
(Q) Correlate that just given directly to the body, [
900],
to recent events.
(A) That in the memory of the body [
900], correlated with
self's development and thoughts on same, relate in this
manner: Give thought in self as to conditions that have
arisen, for they relate to the thoughts of the individual,
[
900], and when reached in the subconscious again, which will
occur on the 21st, the mind will attain that understanding;
yet do not give those thoughts to others, or attempt to force
others to think as self, for they do not. We are relating
all known development, for we have passed into the
subconscious action in a material world. [See 900-26.]
(Q) Give us the relation of evolution and thought
transferences. How may thought transference be developed?
(A) Just as has been described, when related to many
individuals, we find that when thought of many individuals
are directed to one focusing point, the condition becomes
accentuated by force - see? - of thought manifested. In
evolution, we find the development as has been just given, in
the correlation of the human mind and soul, toward
perfection. Just so the evolution of the soul came in the
attributes of God Mind, and given in Man. As thoughts are
directed, the transmission of thought waves gradually becomes
the reality, just as light and heat waves in material world
are now used by man. Just to in the spiritual planes, the
elements of thought transmission, or transference, may become
real. Be sure of this fact, and assured of same. Thought
transference occurs when both bodies, or entities, are in the
subconscious condition, whether for a moment, or whether for
ages, for time in spiritual forces is not as in material
forces.
We are through for the present.
