EDGAR CAYCE'S STORY OF JESUS – APPENDIX B – p.

408

Given by Edgar Cayce 11/15/31 in accordance with re-

quest made by self:

Mrs. C.: You will have before you the body and the
soul-mind of Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and
the experience or vision had by him on October 30
while teaching the Sunday School lesson at the First
Prebyterian Church, Virginia Beach, Va., in which he
saw a number of the Jewish faith apparently enter the
church and listen at the discourse. You will please tell
this body if this was a true vision, and just what, if any-
thing, he is to do about it.

Mr. C.: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind and
the soul-body Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and
the experience, the vision had by the body while
discoursing on the lesson.

As should be understood by the body, this was an ex-

perience, real, literal, in the sense that we as individuals
are ever encompassed about by those that are drawn to
us by the vibration or attitude concerning conditions
that are existent in the experience of entities or souls
seeking their way to their Maker.

As this particular discourse dealt with the activities of a

peculiar or individual people, so there was gathered
mostly those that had held in common a faith and
desire in this particular phase of experience.

The carnal eye was then lifted for Cayce, so that he

saw; even as the servant of Elisha saw those that
camped between those that would hinder Elisha in his
service to his people.

As the visions of a child, then, Cayce is again entering

that phase of development or experience where there
may be in the physical consciousness periods when
there may be visioned those that are seeking in the
spirit realm for that which will aid them to understand
their relations with the whole.

It should be understood that Life is One, that each soul,

each entity is a part of the Whole, able, capable of
being one with the Source, or the Universal Power,
God, yet capable of being individual, independent enti-
ties in their own selves. As He has given, to those whom
He calls does He give the power to become the Sons of
God.

As has been given to this body Cayce, to this peculiar

people has he been sent; as one – one – that may aid
many to come to a better understanding of their rela-
tionships to the Creator and their relationships to their
fellow man.

Then, as indicated from that visioned, they that are

seeking, though they be in another dimension, or phase,
or plane of experience, are listening, harkening, gather-
ing, that they may gain the better concept of what is to
be done.

Naturally there arise such questions as these: How does

a disincarnate entity hear carnally that spoken from a
material mind? With what eyes do they see? With what
ears do they hear? With what bodies do they appear?
Wherewithal are they clothed?

As given, “Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One!”

and the hearing that is come, and does come to an en-
tity is with that whereunto the body-entity has builded;
hence by the very nature are drawn together as one, the
entities, such souls have seen in their sojourn through
the material plane. They are clothed with that body,
that clothing which is in its essence from the very
source of that builded through the power given them by
their relationships to the Creative Forces that are
manifest in a material world.

That a man's ideas have changed because he has passed

from the material plane into the unseen, how can one
conceive of this being different? From whence is the lily
clothed? From whence comes the clothing that man
may wear? From whence comes the power of differen-
tiation in the ability of an individual man to see or to
hear? Wherewithal are they given the power to dis-
seminate speech in its various intonations or incanta-
tions, for their communications one with another?

One that has been endowed with an understanding of a

peoples known as the Indian, that may by grunts, in-
cantations, or in the various forms of expression to con-
vey that which is being sought of the relations of one to
another, is not understood by one who has been en-
dowed with an understanding of the other environs; as

in France or in the U.S.A. Not understood, no; but

when that language that bespeaks of faith, hope,
kindness, love, is manifest, it expresses, it conveys to
the heart and soul of all a universal language; as does
music, as does the beauty of a rose, as does the music
of the spheres partake of that which is the closer to that
relation as the soul, whether occupying this or that
body, has with that Creative Force from which it
emanated.

So, as in the vision that is shown here, as in the visions

that may come to the body, to the soul-mind of the
body, honor and reverence same, that the language of
the spheres, that the Voice of the Creative Forces are
being manifest; but do not abuse same by thinking, act-
ing, speaking or feeling that self has been exalted or
raised to any particular position other than of being of
greater service to thy fellow man.

Remember that, “He that would be the greatest among

you will be the servant of all.” He that will humble him-
self shall be exalted. He that remains true shall be lifted
up, even as He gave; “And I, if I be lifted upwill draw
all men unto me.”

Know, then, that there is being shed some of that glory

that was in Him, and that is given thee in this carnal
body, this weakened flesh, through the insight of the
glories that await man if he will remain true to those
lessons that are set before him; that self is being lifted
up with the greater abilities, the greater opportunity to
reach the more.

He that is called to service must indeed obey. Know al-

so that it is true in thy experience as it was in His ex-
perience, “Though He were the Son, yet learned He
obedience by the things which He suffered.”

As the carnal forces, the carnal mind with its desires, its
necessities for the satisfying of those conditions that
are created as habit, as desires of the flesh, as desires of
the attributes of the physical or material mind are suf-
fering under the strain that comes in the various periods
of the manifestations of the glory, know that the body is
being given more and more the opportunity then to
minister to not only those in the material things in the
material life, but these as seen who are seeking in the
Borderland, those that are to many a loved one in
the spirit land they are seeking – seeking …

Give then of thyself in the strength that He gives to

thee, for thou hast been called and chosen as one
through whom – bodily – there may come a channel
who may speak face to face with his peoples.

Keep the faith. Keep the body clean. Look up, lift up
thine eyes unto the hills from whence the help comes;
for God is in His holy temple. Keep, then, thy body
clean, thine temple of thine body in such a state, men-
tally, spiritually, that He may come and lodge with
thee, that He may oft speak with thee as Father to Son.

As thine Elder Brother may He walk with thee in thy

going in, thine coming out among men; for that thou
hast seen is holy – HOLY; and though must conduct thine
self in such a manner that is worthy of these visions,
those helps coming to thee the more often.

Do not become self-important, nor self-exalting. Be

rather selfless, that there may come to all who come un-
der the sound of thy voice, to all that come in thy
presence, as they look upon thine countenance, the
knowledge and feeling that, indeed this man has been in
the presence of his Maker; he has seen the visions of
those expanses we all seek to pull the veil aside that we
may peer into the future. As ye may become a teacher
to those that are “beyond the veil” also, how glorious
must be thy words even then to those that falter in their
steps day by day!

In patience know thy soul may go out and minister to

others. And, as thy presence brings that faith, hope and
confidence in men's lives, so may the words of thy
mouth be acceptable in the sight of thy Redeemer, so
may He indeed give thee the abilities to speak even as
the oracles of the fathers, as the oracles of God Himself
who sits in His Throne and has given to His Son that
ability to quicken the hearts of men that they may know
His Face also.

Be, then, patient, my son. Keep in the ways that He has

gone. Know that Mother stands near oft, and will guide
in the ways that will aid in coming – coming – nearer to
the closer walk with Him.
We are through. (294-155)
