Edgar Cayce revealed volumes of psychic material, much of which
was verified to be true to the amazement of doctors and scientists.
Cayce discovered at a young age that he could go into hypnosis and
travel to other realms to obtain psychic information on any subject.
He claimed that anyone could do what he did with the proper training
and attunement. He would go into a hypnotic trance that would
induce a near-death experience. During his near-death experiences
he was able to tap into a virtually unlimited amount of information
which he referred to as the "Universal Mind". He was able to reveal
previously unknown information on a wide range of subjects such as:
astrology, the afterlife, religion, the future, consciousness, and human
origins, just to name a few. The following information on human
origins was revealed to Cayce during his excursions while out of the
body and as told in Thomas Sugrue's book, There is a River.
Because of the archaic language used in Cayce's description, I have
paraphrased it slightly, without losing any of original meaning, to
make it easier to read.
People usually demand a beginning, so in
the beginning there was a sea of spirit and
it filled all of space. The spirit was static,
content, and aware of itself. It was a giant
resting on the bosom of its thought and
contemplating what it is.
Then the spirit moved into action. It
withdrew into itself until all of space was empty. In the center, the
restless mind of the spirit shone. This was the beginning of the
individuality of the spirit. This was what the spirit discovered itself to

be when it awakened. This spirit was God.
God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore,
God projected the cosmos and souls. The cosmos was built with
music, arithmetic, geometry, harmony, system, and balance. The
building blocks were all of the same material - the life essence. It was
the power of God that changed the length of its wave and the rate of
its vibration which created the patterns for multitudes of forms. This
action resulted in the law of diversity which supplied endless patterns.
God played on this law of diversity as a pianist plays on a piano -
producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony.
Each design carried within it the plan for its evolution. This plan
corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of
several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases;
phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and
forth, across and between and around each other, to make a
symphony. Then in the end, the music will stop and the physical
universe will be no more; but between the beginning and the finish of
the music there was glorious beauty and a glorious experience. The
spiritual universe will continue.
Everything assumed its design in various forms and their activity
resulted in the law of attraction and repulsion. All forms would attract
and repel each other in their evolutionary dance.
All things are a part of God and an expression of God's thought. The
Mind of God was the force which propelled and perpetuated these
thoughts. All minds, as thoughts of God, do everything God imagined.
Everything that came into being is an aspect of the One Mind.
The souls of individuals were created for companionship with God
(the Whole). The pattern that God used to create souls was the
pattern of God's own Spirit. The spirit is life. From the spirit, the mind
builds patterns. From the mind, the physical creation is the result.
This is how the spirit, the mind, and individuality, became the pattern
for souls. This is how cause, action, and effect became the pattern for
everything. First there was the spirit (the first cause); then there was
Page 2 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
the action which withdrew spirit into itself; then there was the
resulting individuality of God.
The spirit of the individual existed before their soul was created. The
spirit keeps the knowledge of its identity with God. The soul has the
ability to experience the activities of the mind in a manner separate
from God.
Thus, new individuals issued from God and remained dependent
upon God; but individuals were also aware of an existence apart from
God. Individuals were given the power to choose and direct their own
activity. Without free will, it would only remain a part of the
individuality of God. The mind, issuing as a force from God, would
naturally fulfill God's thoughts, unless directed otherwise. The power
to do this - to direct the force of mind individually from God - is free
will. And the record or memory of this freedom is the soul. The soul
began with its first expression of free will through the force of mind.
The first thought that the spirit generated of free will (i.e., the first
diversion of the force of mind from its normal path of unity with God)
was the beginning of the soul.
The nucleus of the soul was the balance of positive and negative
forces that are equal in power. These forces produce harmonious
activities: the positive initiating, impregnating, and thrusting forward;
the negative receiving, nourishing, and ejecting. The steps of this
evolutionary process are also the stages of the thought process:
perception, reflection, and opinion.
Thus, the soul consists of two states of consciousness: (1) the spirit
which bears a knowledge of its identity with God, and (2) the soul
which bears a knowledge of everything it experienced.
The plan for the soul is a cycle of experience
that is unlimited in scope and duration.
Through this evolutionary cycle, the soul will
come to know the creation in all its aspects at
the discretion of the will. The cycle would be
completed when the desire of the will was no
Page 3 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
longer different from the thought of God. The consciousness of the
soul would then merge with its spiritual consciousness of its identity
with God. Then the soul will return to its source as the companion it
was intended to be.
As a companion, the soul would remain conscious of its separate
individuality and would be aware of its own free will as it now acted
as a part of God, but not diverting its mind because it was in
agreement with God's influence on the mind of the soul. Until this
state of at-one-ment was reached, the soul would not be a
companion in the true sense of the word.
The idea that returning to God means a loss of individuality is
paradoxical, since God is aware of everything that happens and must
therefore be aware of the consciousness of each individual. The
return of the soul is the return of the image to that which imagined it.
The consciousness of the individual - its soul record - could not be
destroyed without destroying a part of God. When a soul returns to
God it becomes aware of itself not only as a part of God, but as a part
of every other soul, and everything.
What is lost is the ego - the desire to do other than the desire of God.
When the soul returns to God, the ego is voluntarily relinquished.
This is the symbology behind the crucifixion of Christ.
The plan for the soul included experiencing of all creation, but it did
not necessarily mean participating in all forms and substance. Nor did
it mean that souls can interfere with the creation. Nor did it mean that
souls are to spin their own little worlds, twisting and bending laws to
make images of their dreams.
But these things could happen. The soul was the greatest thing that
God made because it has free will. Once free will was given, God did
nothing to curb it. However it acted, it had to act within God's reality.
By whatever route, the soul will return to God.
The fact that the human body is a speck of dust on a small planet in a
universe of galaxies can lead to the illusion that humans are a small
Page 4 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
creation. But the soul is the unlimited activity of the mind and the
grandeur of imagination.
At first there was little difference between the consciousness of the
new individual (i.e., soul) and its consciousness of identity with God
(i.e., spirit). Souls merely watched the flow of the Mind, somewhat as
people daydreaming, marveling at its power and versatility. Then
souls began to act itself, imitating and paralleling what Mind was
doing. Gradually souls acquired experience, becoming a
complementary rather than an imitative force. It helped to extend,
modify, and regulate creation.
Certain souls became aggressive with their own power and began to
experiment with it. They mingled with the dust of the stars and the
winds of the spheres - feeling them - and becoming part of them. One
result of this was an unbalance between the positive and negative
forces. To feel things demanded the negative force. To express
through things (and directing and managing them) required the
positive force. Another result of souls becoming aggressive with their
own power was the gradual weakening of the link between the two
states of consciousness (i.e., spirit and the soul). Some souls
became more concerned with and aware of their own creations rather
than God's. This resulted in the fall of certain souls to an even lower
consciousness. The Bible allegorically refers to this event as the Fall
in the Garden of Eden and the revolt of the angels in the Book of
Revelation. This event is also the basis for the cosmology of Christian
Gnosticism and Jewish mysticism.
To enter into another level of creation and become part of it, the soul
had to assume a new, or third consciousness - a physical form.
Assuming a physical form is a way of experiencing that level of
creation by means of a conscious mind (i.e., the third
consciousness). Through the conscious mind, an individual can
experience physical consciousness: the physical body, the five
senses, the glandular and nervous systems. This transformation of
consciousness does not apply everywhere at this level of creation. In
other worlds and solar systems, the transformation may differ. One
can only imagine the number of these other worlds and the aspects
Page 5 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
of divine mind which they represent.
When a soul enters into another level of creation and its
consciousness, it separated itself temporarily from the consciousness
of its own soul, and became even further removed from the
consciousness of its spirit. Thus, instead of helping to direct the flow
of creation and contributing to it, the soul found itself in the stream
and drifting along with it. The farther the soul traveled from the shore,
the more it succumbed to the pull of the current and the more difficult
was the task of getting back to land.
Planets and solar systems became
a temptation to souls. Each solar
system had its own course and its
own plan. Souls moved toward
them through the activity of a
constant stream of mind. When a
soul leaped into the stream (by immersing itself in the system through
which the stream was flowing) it had the force of the current to
contend with, and its free will was hampered. It was very easy, under
these circumstances, to drift with the current.
Each solar system also represents an opportunity for development,
advancement, and growth toward the ideal of complete
companionship with God - the position of co-creator in the vast
system of universal mind.
Our solar system also attracted souls. Since each solar system is a
single expression of the divine, with its planets as integral parts, the
Earth came into the path of souls.
Each solar system in the universe is like an atom in a universe of
worlds. Atoms have quantum levels for electrons to travel around.
The sun has "quantum levels" for planets to travel around. The
planets of our solar system are physical representations of heavenly
dimensions. These levels as a whole are the consciousness of our
solar system. There are nine planetary/heavenly dimensions to the
consciousness of our solar system. The planet Earth represents the
Page 6 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
third dimension. Earth represents three-dimensional life in our solar
system.
The Earth is an expression of Divine Mind with its own laws, its own
plan, and its own evolution. Souls, longing to feel the beauty of the
seas, the winds, the forest, and the flowers, mixed with them and
expressed themselves through them. They also mingled with the
animals, and made thought forms in imitation of them. Souls played
at creating and imitated God. But this interfered with the evolutionary
plan of the Earth. Thus, the stream of mind that was carrying out this
plan for the Earth gradually drew souls into its current. Souls had to
evolve into the bodies they had themselves created.
This entanglement of souls into physical form was a probability from
the beginning. But God did not know when it would happen until the
souls, of their own free will, had caused it to happen.
All souls that exist were created by God in the very beginning. None
has been made since. This means all souls on this planet, pre-
existed before birth. Of the souls which God created, only a
comparative few have entered into the experience of our solar
system. Many other souls have gone through or are going through a
similar entanglement in other solar systems in the universe.
A way to liberate the souls that were entangled in matter was
created. A physical form became available as a vehicle for the soul
on Earth. A way became available for souls to enter the Earth and
experience it as part of their evolutionary/reincarnation cycle. Of the
physical forms already existing on Earth, a species of anthropoid ape
most nearly approached the necessary pattern. Souls descended on
these apes - hovering above and about them rather than inhabiting
them - and influenced them to move toward a different goal from the
simple one they had been pursuing. They came down out of the
trees, built fires, made tools, lived in communities, and began to
communicate with each other. Eventually they lost their animal look,
shed bodily hair, and took on refinements of manner and habit.
The evolution of the human body occurred partly through the soul's
Page 7 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
influence on the endocrine glands until the ape-man was a three-
dimensional objectification of the soul that hovered above it. Then the
soul fully descended into the body and Earth had a new inhabitant:
the homo sapien.
Homo sapiens appeared in five different places on Earth at the same
time, as the five races. This evolved human is what the Bible refers to
as "Adam". When souls incarnated into physical form, it would bring
the divine consciousness (i.e., the spirit) in with it. Cayce referred to
this divine consciousness as the "Christ Consciousness" or
"Buddhahood" or the "superconsciousness". Christ consciousness
has little to do with the personality known as Jesus. It means that a
person has attained a complete human-divine unity. This human-
divine unity has been attained by many people thus far - one such
person was Jesus.
The problem for the soul entangled in flesh was to overcome the
attractions of the Earth to the extent that the soul would be as free in
the body as out of it. Only when the body was no longer a hindrance
to the free express of the soul would the cycle of Earth be finished.
This is the condition of having a perfect unity of the human with the
divine.
In a smaller field, this was the evolutionary drama of free will and
creation. In a still smaller field, each atom of the physical body is a
world in itself where a drama of free will and creation is occurring.
The soul brings life into each atom, and each atom is a physical
reflection of the soul's pattern.
With the advent of consciousness, humans became aware that sex
meant something more to them than to the animals. Sex is the "door"
which new souls enter the Earth, a door unnecessary in other
heavenly planetary/realms. Sex is the only means which trapped
souls have of being liberated from their predicament - through the
cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
The plan for the Earth cycle of souls was a limited series of
incarnations with periods in between of dwelling in other heavenly
Page 8 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
dimensions of consciousness. Reincarnation would continue until a
soul's every thought and action of the physical body was in accord
with the plan originally laid out for the soul (i.e., a human-divine unity,
Christ consciousness). When the body was no longer a hindrance to
the free expression of the soul - when the conscious mind had
merged with the subconscious, the Earth cycle was finished and the
soul liberated to move on to new adventures. This conquest of the
physical body could not be attained until there was perfection in the
other dimensions of consciousness that is a physical representation
of our solar system. Astrologically, the goal for the soul is to attain a
level of consciousness that represents the total expression of the sun
and its planets. Whichever level of consciousness that the soul
assumes, it becomes the focal point of activity. The other states of
consciousness receded to the position of urges and influences.
The human race was fostered by a soul
who had completed his experience of
creation, attained Christhood, returned to
God, and became a companion to God
and a co-creator. This is the soul known
as Jesus. The first evolutionary
transformation of ape-men to homo
sapiens is who the Bible refers to as
"Adam". This was the beginning of the divine consciousness into
flesh on the Earth. The soul known as Jesus, was one of the first
souls to enter into one of the Adamic races.
The soul of Jesus was interested in the plight of its fellow souls
trapped in Earth. After supervising the influx of souls into flesh, the
Christ soul took form itself, from time to time, to act as a leader for
the people.
At first, these souls just slightly inhabited the bodies of ape-men while
remembering their true identities as spirit beings. But gradually, after
many incarnations, these souls descended even further into physical
consciousness and the result was a decrease in their spiritual
mentality. They remembered their true selves only in dreams and in
fables that were handed down from one generation to another.
Page 9 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
Religion came into being as a ritual of longing for lost spirit memories.
The arts were born which included music and geometry. This
knowledge was brought into the world from incoming souls who
gradually forgot their heavenly source. This knowledge had to be
written down, learned, and taught to each new generation.
Finally, humans were left with a conscious mind that was separated
from their own individuality as souls. This individual identity as a soul
became the subconscious mind. The individual identity or awareness
of the physical world became the conscious mind. The subconscious
mind (i.e., the soul) influenced the conscious mind and gave it its
stature and quality. The subconscious mind dwelt in the "suit of
clothes" that is the physical body and only in sleep is it disrobed.
Conscious minds, left to its own influence, will work out the plans and
desires of God. Humans eventually developed theories for what they
felt was true, but no longer knew to be true. The result was the
creation of philosophy and theology. Humans searched and
discovered higher knowledge which they carried within themselves
but could no longer reach with the conscious mind. This resulted in
the creation of science.
Humans evolved from having an awareness of higher spirit
knowledge to having only mystical dreams, revealed religions,
philosophy and theology. This evolution of consciousness ultimately
reached a plateau and humans generally only believed what they
could see and feel and prove in terms of their conscious minds. Then
humanity began the struggle of regaining this higher knowledge.
Meanwhile, the Christ soul continued to teach and lead humanity by
incarnating as the Biblical characters named Adam, Enoch, and
Melchizedek. Enoch and Melchizedek experienced neither birth nor
death. Then Christ soul realized after these incarnations that it was
necessary to give humanity a pattern by which they could follow in
order to return to God. The Christ soul achieved this goal by
incarnating as the personality known as Jesus, who became
victorious over the death of the physical body by laying aside the ego,
accepting the crucifixion of the body in order to return to God. Jesus
Page 10 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
created a pattern for humans to follow. Through the acts of leading a
perfect life and becoming unjustly killed, this reversed the negative
karma (i.e., the law of God, an eye for an eye) which came from
Jesus' first incarnation as Adam.
At present, humanity is in a state of
great spiritual darkness - the
darkness which precedes dawn.
Humanity developed a level of
skepticism that reached a point
where it forced humans to make
conclusions that they knew was
intuitively wrong. At the same time, humanity continued their
investigation of natural phenomena to the point where conscious
awareness disproved all the higher knowledge that souls had in the
beginning. The free will of humanity is discovering that all roads to
higher knowledge is leading toward the same destination and
conclusions. Scientific, theological, and philosophical knowledge,
which has no desire to join forces, are approaching a point of merger.
Skepticism faces destruction by its own hand.
Humanity is at all times the total of what they have been and done,
what they have fought and defended, and what they have hated and
loved. In the three-dimensional consciousness of every human, in
every atom of the human body, is a reflection of the soul and a
crystallization of their individuality. Their emotional and nervous
structures, their mental abilities, aptitudes, aversions, preferences,
fears, follies, ambitions, and character, are the sum of what humans
have done with their free will. This makes every personality, as the
earthly "cloak" of an individuality, is different from every other
personality.
The law of karma, which is Earth's law of cause and effect ("of
reaping what one sows") also makes humans different from one
another in their joys and sorrows, in their handicaps, their strengths,
their weaknesses, their virtues and vices, their appreciation of
beauty, and their comprehension of truth. Transgressions that
humans make in life must be corrected in life, if not in the same life,
Page 11 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
then in a future incarnation. The Earth's natural law, not the law
humanity or God, demands an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
This same law applies to groups of people, as they act together.
There is karma for families, for tribes, for races, and for nations. For
example, when a nation of individuals started a war in a previous life
and are reincarnated, a war will be committed upon that nation. Only
when such a nation is defeated in humility by a nation with justice and
mercy, will the karma of war be lifted from the defeated nation.
Every person's life is shaped to some extent by karma: their own,
their associates, their loved ones, their nation, their race, and the
entire world itself. But karma is not greater than free will. It is what a
person does with these influences and urges, how they react to them,
which makes the difference in their soul development. Because of
karma, some things are more probable than others, but as long as
there exists free will, anything is possible.
Thus free will and predestination coexist within human beings. Their
past experiences limit them in probability and incline them in certain
directions, but free will can always "draw the sword from the stone."
The combination of free will and predestination means that humans
freely choose their own predetermined destiny to return to God.
No soul incarnates without having a general plan for the life to be
experienced. The personality that a person expresses in life is only
one of the many personalities (i.e., facets of the soul) that a person
could express. The mission of every soul is to work on one or several
facets of the soul's karma (which can be thought of as the soul's
memory of its prior actions). A soul does not choose a mission that is
more than it can handle or that is too much for the personality
assigned to or chosen by the soul. Some souls can freely choose
their own conditions in which to be born and complete their missions.
Other souls who have made too many mistakes in past lives and who
have become dangerously influenced by worldly desires, are
incarnated into conditions chosen by law of karma at a time and
under circumstances that are best suited to help them with their
karmic debt. Their mission is seldom perfectly fulfilled because of the
Page 12 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
such a soul's large amount of negative karma. Their mission is
sometimes badly neglected.
The circumstances and conditions that a soul chooses to incarnate
into is usually made at conception, when a channel for a soul's
expression is opened by the parents. When this occurs, a pattern is
made by the mingling of the soul patterns of the parents. This sets up
certain karmic conditions. A soul whose own karma approximates
these karmic conditions will be attracted to the opportunity presented.
Since the karmic pattern created by the parents will not be exactly the
same the incarnating soul's own karma, the soul must take on some
of the karma of the parents.
Conditions other than the created pattern are conditions that the soul
must consider when choosing a body to be born with. Such
conditions include: the future of the incarnated person's life, former
associations with the parents, the incarnation of souls that it wishes
to incarnate with, live with, and with whom the soul will have
problems to work out with. In some cases the parents are the only
reason for a some souls to incarnate. Such a child will be devoted to
them and remain close to them. The child then completes its mission
by dying so that the child's death can teach the parents very valuable
lessons in life and of spirit. In other cases, the parents are only used
as a means for which the child can leave home and go about its
business in completing its mission.
The soul may actually occupy a fetus as early as three months after
conception or even as late as a month after birth. In the latter case,
the soul hovers over the infants body since birth to decide whether or
not to occupy it. Once the decision is made and the occupation
completed, the separation between the conscious mind (i.e.,
personality) and subconscious mind (i.e., the soul) takes place and
the soul record (i.e., memory) of the child begins. The fact that some
babies are miscarried does not mean that it was refused as a vehicle
for a soul. Just the opposite is true. The opportunity to incarnate was
taken away from the soul due to natural forces and this made the
occupation of that body impossible.
Page 13 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
The personality is a facet of the soul's individuality experienced in
three-dimensional consciousness (i.e., body, soul, spirit). The other
facets of the soul remains in shadow - in the background. It gives
tone to the personality through its urges, appreciations, tastes,
avocations, and intuition.
A particular personality of an individual is shaped by three or four
incarnations. The emotions and talents of a person reflects these
past incarnations. A person's dreams, visions, and meditations are
reflections of the soul's experience in other dimensions (i.e., heavenly
realms) of consciousness associated physically by our solar system.
The human intellect was created from the stars and planets. The
intellect is the mind force of the soul which is conditioned by its
previous incarnations on Earth and its experiences in other
dimensions and even in other solar systems. The intellect becomes
dimmed or brightened by its recent experiences within the three-
dimensional consciousness of the solar system and the experiences
within other dimensional realms of consciousness.
Thus, a personality is only a facet of the soul. The soul may incarnate
as any facet to express that portion of itself. As a soul approaches its
completion of the solar cycle of consciousness, the personality
becomes more multi-sided and expresses greater facets of the soul.
This is because each incarnation "burns off" negative karma which
requires less and less attention. Finally, the personality will become a
complete expression of the soul and the cycle of reincarnation is
finished for the soul.
As the soul succumbs to worldly desires by abandoning its intellect
for sensuality, it becomes more and more one-sided.
When
the
individual
has
attained
complete
human-
Page 14 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
divine unity, its cycle of reincarnations is finished, the soul is
liberated, and the soul then merges with its spirit and, therefore, with
God. The soul record (memory) is forever retained. This record is, at
all times, is the sum total of what the soul personality has been: all it
has thought, all it has experienced; all it has eaten, drunk, and felt
through the ages.
Thus, as the soul is subjected to reincarnation, both the atheist and
the religionist are correct. The atheist believes the personality does
not survive after death. The religionist believes the soul is judged
after death by its Creator. Substituting "personality" for "soul", both
are expressing the truth. The personality is evaluated after death and
then returns to the soul which created it, thereby giving up its own
independent existence and becoming once again a facet of the soul.
This process is different from the process where the soul merges with
the spirit after it completes its cycles of reincarnation.
With each incarnation into the physical realm (the solar system) and
the other realms of consciousness, the general plan for perfecting the
soul proceeds. Another facet of the soul is assumed and incarnated
to experience tribulation in order to reinforce the character of the
soul's entire personality.
The trials and tribulations of individuals, groups, nations, and races,
are dealt with time and time again through free will until they are
solved. Then souls are free to journey to other worlds, or other solar
systems, or other universes, or other dimensions of the hierarchy of
consciousness.
Quotes from Edgar Cayce
About the Cosmos and Souls
In the beginning God created the heavens and the
Earth. How? The Mind of God moved, and matter, form,
came into being.
Spirit is life. Mind is the builder, and the physical is the result.
In each atom, in each corpuscle, is life. Life is that you worship as God.
Page 15 of 17Edgar Cayce on human origins
3/27/2011http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce03.html
For the Earth is only an atom in the universe of worlds.
All souls in the beginning were one with the Father. The
separation or turning away brought evil.
For man may separate himself from God - the Spirit - but
the spirit does not separate from man.
All souls were created in the beginning and are finding
their way back to whence they came.
Each soul is destined to become a portion again of the
First Cause, or back to its Maker.
The Father has not willed that any soul should perish,
and is thus mindful that each soul has again, and yet
again, the opportunity for making its paths straight.
Life is, in all its manifestations in every animate force,
Creative Force in action; and is the love of expression - or
expressing that life; truth becoming a result of life's love
expressed. For, these are but names - unless experienced
in the consciousness of each soul.
All power, all force, is a manifestation of that which is
termed the God-consciousness.
The coming into the Earth has been and is, for the
evolution or evolving of the soul unto its awareness.
Birth in the physical is death in the spiritual. Death in the
physical is the birth in the spiritual.
Each soul enters with a mission. We all have a mission to perform.
The conquering of self is truly greater than were one to
conquer many worlds.
He who understands nature walks close with God.
What is truth? Law. What is Law? Love. What is love?
