Cayce's Analogy to John's Relevation

As is indicated in the Bible (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) our body is the temple of God and God is spirit (John 4:24). Whoever wants to meet him needs to be physically and spiritually pure to tap into his overwhelming presence. Cayce compares the "God-Force" with what we know today as electricity (Reading 3618-1) and as John 3:30 reveals; the more one let go his own sophisticated thoughts - the stronger Gods love and power becomes within.

(Q) "How can I best fulfill God's purpose in this existence?"

(A) "As just been given. First in finding self, as may be accomplished through the turning within for those experiences that have been not only the lot but the development of the entity in those as indicated. Then by giving this new understanding, which is as old as the hills, as is the earth, as is the sun itself, to those about the entity in its daily walks, in its conversation, in its relationships to others. It is not what one says, but rather what one DOES that counts; for by this must ye judge YOURSELVES before the throne of grace."

Reading 873-1

The spiritual awakening, as described in the Edgar Cayce readings, involves a deep realization and understanding of the oneness of all existence and the interconnectedness of all things through the divine or cosmic forces - also refered to as Christ Conscuousness. This awakening is characterized by a profound sense of unity with the universal spirit, where individual consciousness expands to recognize its part in the larger cosmic scheme.

Key aspects of this spiritual awakening include:

• Realization of Oneness: Understanding that all beings and phenomena are manifestations of the same divine energy. This is emphasized in the reading where it is stated, "ALL of these are GOD," highlighting the idea that everything is a manifestation of the divine.
• Understanding Cosmic Forces: The awakening involves recognizing the role of cosmic forces that have been built by the entity through physical experiences. These forces influence desires, actions, and life paths, contributing to the individual's spiritual and physical journey.
• Connection with Universal Forces: The spiritual awakening brings about a closer connection with universal forces, which are described as the spiritual, cosmic, and subconscious forces within man. This connection enhances one's understanding of how these forces interact and influence each other.
• Expanded Consciousness: The readings discuss the concept of the subconscious as a storehouse of all spiritual actions across various planes of existence, suggesting that spiritual awakening involves accessing and integrating these vast reservoirs of knowledge and experience.
• Integration of Spiritual Principles: The awakening is also about applying spiritual principles in everyday life, leading to actions that are aligned with higher spiritual truths, such as compassion, altruism, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Overall, spiritual awakening according to the Edgar Cayce readings is not just an intellectual understanding but a transformative experience that changes how one perceives the self, others, and the world, leading to a life more deeply aligned with spiritual truths and cosmic laws.
