TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the subject matter as was given in psychic state by the body Edgar Cayce, and questions on same as prepared by the enquiring mind of [900]. You will answer these questions as I ask them, in such a manner as to be understood by the mind of [900].
2. EC: Yes, we have the subject matter here as was given and as transcribed [[3744] series]. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Explain: "By the suggestion the subconscious may be wavered by the forces that are brought to bear on the subconscious to reach conscious mind, just as we have in a purely mechanical form." [3744-3, Par. 18-A]
   (A) In the wavering of forces as applied from the subconscious to the conscious mind, first we must take into consideration that conscious mind is of the material world a part. The subconscious mind may only be fully understood when viewed from the spiritual viewpoint or aspect. The conscious mind rarely gains the entrance to truth in the subconscious, save in rest, sleep, or when such consciousnesses are subjugated through the act of the individual, as in the case of Edgar Cayce, through which the subject matter was given. The illustration as given of mechanical way, that is as appearance of stick in water appears bent. When the consciousness views subconscious forces they appear wavered or bended, when viewed from wholly a material viewpoint, whether from the dream in sleep, or viewed by a conscious mind or material mind of truth from trance or from the subconscious condition. Hence in the sleep we may have the superseding appearance of the consciousness and thus waver the appearance of truth obtained, or we may have the suggestion as is given to a mind directing the truth to be obtained from subconscious forces bended in such a manner as to give the wavered aspect to the truth as given. In such a manner, or in one of such manners, then do we see the wavering often (not always) of truths obtained by a consciousness from the subconscious forces. Just as illustrated in the mechanical manner as given in subject matter.
4. (Q) It was first given, Soul and Spirit are "forces". Then in illustrating force as given [3744-3, Par. 19-A]: "That which is the Spirit of any object, animate or inanimate." Explain "Spirit of an object."
   (A) Spirit in an animate object, that giving same life, whether of of that with the attributes of the one, two, three or fourth dimension of same. Spirit in an inanimate object being then that relation as given to same by the mental intelligence of the individual, or person, or thing, giving it a spirit force. As this would be illustrated: To the animal who becomes accustomed to being hitched to a certain post, that post has the spirit for the animal by the mental abilities of the animal's association with same. To man, the stone occupying the place in altar may be of same quarry, of the same strata, of the one occupying the step to the building. The position of one in altar occupying the spirit of reverence. The one on step occupying the position as of one to reach same. Hence the degrees of the relation as is carried in the inanimate conditions. When this relation then is considered, we see how the evolution, or revelation of same comes to the spirit of the herb, of the fly, of the beast, of the companion. Hence how each occupy their position, or as has been better illustrated in the words as were given, "All flesh is not of one flesh. There are the flesh of animal, of bird, of fishes, of men. There are bodies celestial, bodies terrestrial. The glory of one differs in the glory of another, but because one occupies the exalted position would one do away with that of the uncomely parts? for that which is the uncomely becomes the more comely in its action and self when directed in its proper channel and sphere." Hence we find all occupying then the spirit of that acquired by its position, its relation to other conditions, whether of the animate or inanimate condition and position.
5. (Q) What is meant by [3744-3, Par. 25-A]: "Mental and Physical with relative forces connecting the soul force and unbalancing of the truth may perform on the soul forces that which brings abnormal results to physical and soul matter"?
   (A) Just as has been given in how truth is obtained in the normal or consciousness, may be perverted by the outlook of the individual obtaining same, of as the spirit may view the truth as obtained from a source questionable to the relation of the individual to such conditions. That is, as this: One brought up in the condition of religious liberty does not comprehend a lesson as obtained from one of a faith that would bind the body and the moral and mental forces of an individual, the same as one would understand such lesson brought up in that faith, or as would be seen in this: All religious faiths have their element of truth. Would be hard for the Christian faith to understand the lesson of the Mohammedan faith, and each may gain the lesson to its own destruction, for the relation of each truth bears its relativity of force to the developing of the entity. Then we return to the same premise. What may be viewed by the entity in that plane of the two square, or two fold, or two quantity life, cannot understand the vision of one having reached the threefold or three quantity life.
6. (Q) Explain the different environments which the individual enters before reaching the earth plane, while in earth plane and after.
   (A) The individual entity before coming in earth's plane bears only the spirit relation to the Universal Forces, with a soul to be made, through the environments of Creation, equal to the Created, given the free will as to how same shall be developed. Before entering the earth's plane of its own choice, or free will, developing through those spheres it chooses for its developing. In the earth's plane and spheres then becoming subject to the laws of that sphere to which it chooses its sojourn, passing through same with its urge of development taken on in the beginning, subject to the environment though which it passes for its development, and as has been given, all soul and spirit force is of the Creator, and given to the individual, which brings or makes it an individual to use as it sees fit. As illustrated in that given by Him that shows the Way, the talents given to every entity those of its making, by its use, all being the same in the beginning. As the developing passes, the entity, the nearer the whole becomes one with the Creator, the nearer comes the perfect developing, for the whole law is to be one with the Creator. Yet never losing its identity, for that given in the beginning, but becoming one with the Creator as each unit of the blood itself the portion of the earthly being in its sojourn through the earth. We find in the Man the every elements and represen tation of how the entity one with the Creator, and with the Will to make same one with the Creator, with all the attributes of a creator, and with the will to make same one with Him, or rebel against that element.
7. We are through for the present.
