   ADDENDUM ONE   
       
   "Soul" And "Spirit"   
       
   Both the Bible and the Readings say that there is both a "soul" and    
   a "spirit". What meaneth these?   
       
   As the following two Reading excerpts clearly explain or delineate,    
   the "soul" is the individual consciousness portion + the individual    
   will portion, and the "spirit" is the universal spirit portion, of    
   each triune etheric being or entity, which being or entity was brought    
   into being in the beginning by God, which being or entity each of    
   us are. The spirit portion, being a portion of the previously existing   
   eternal lifeforce itself, is eternal. The consciousness portion +    
   the will portion were brought into being by God, or created, and did    
   not previously exist, and are amenable to destruction or non-existence    
   if separated from the spirit portion, as can happen in The Lake Of Fire   
   With Brimstone:   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 364-10   
   What, then, IS psychic force? What IS occult science? A developing    
   of the abilities within each individual...that there may be brought    
   INTO being that which gives more knowledge of the source FROM    
   which the entity ESSENCE (Isn't a good word, but signifies that    
   intended to be expressed; not elements, not rudiments, but ESSENCE    
   of the entity itself, ITS spirit and soul - its spirit being its portion    
   of the Creator, its soul that of its entity itself, making itself individual,    
   separate entity, that may be one WITH the Creative Force from which    
   it comes - or which it is! of which it is made up, in its atomic forces,    
   or in its very essence itself!) emanates; and the more this may be    
   manifest, the greater becomes the occult force.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 5749-3   
   Q) Explain the law of the line of demarcation between soul and spirit.    
   (A) This is one, yet distinct - even as the Father, the Son, the Holy    
   Spirit is one, yet is the manifestation of a force that is capable of    
   manifestation in the varied planes of development. The soul is an    
   individual, individuality, that may grow to be one with, or separate    
   from, the whole. The spirit is the impelling influence of infinity, or the    
   one creative source, force, that is manifest. Hence we find that in the    
   physical plane we seek soul manifestation as the spirit moves same in    
   activity.   
       
   The "NONMEDICAL RESOURCE GLOSSARY" which is available at the    
   edgarcayce.org website and which is 1. linked at and 2. integrated   
   into the "Edgar Cayce Readings" option and section [Note: 1. Click on    
   "Edgar Cayce Readings", then click on "Help", then click on "User Guide",    
   then click on "Nonmedical Glossary" at the bottom of the page, OR    
   click on "Resource", then click on "Glossary" under the heading    
   "Nonmedical"; and 2. Click on any nonmedical word that is colored blue    
   or purple and is underlined in the text of any Reading] contains the   
   following definitions for "Soul" and "Spirit":   
       
   SOUL    
   Soul refers to that eternal aspect of our being that is our spiritual    
   heritage.  Cayce sometimes used the term “entity” when discussing    
   the totality of the soul.    
      
   SPIRIT    
   Spirit is the life force or divine energy that animates and is the    
   source of vitality of an individual (as in “spirit is the life”).    
       
   I do not know who wrote these definitions, but as can be easily seen   
   just by the two Reading excerpts above, neither of them is correct, and   
   neither of them is even specific enough or concrete enough to even    
   know what they are saying in an actual practical reality-wise sense.    
   Worse of all, by giving two different words and two different definitions,   
   the suggestion seems to be that "soul" and "spirit" are two distinct   
   things or features, yet both definitions basically say the same thing -   
   that "soul" is eternal and that "spirit" is eternal, and thus the anti-Bible    
   anti-Reading false impression is given that each of us is eternal, shall    
   exist forever, no ifs ands or buts.   
       
   These definitions, per the information in the Readings and the Bible -   
   and that means both of these in their entirety - should be changed to,   
   or something such as:   
       
   SOUL   
   Each of us is a triune etheric being composed of 1. Individual    
   Consciousness, 2. Individual Will, 3. Universal Spirit. The "soul" is   
   the individual consciousness portion + the individual will portion.   
   As to continuation of the soul, depends on if it remains attached to,   
   rather than becomes separated from, the universal spirit portion.   
   [Note: Sometimes the Readings refer to all three portions together -   
   or in other words the entire being or entity - as "soul", and    
   sometimes the Readings refer to the spirit portion as "soul", so one    
   needs to be careful as to which is meant in any particular instance.]   
       
   SPIRIT   
   Each of us is a triune etheric being composed of 1. Individual   
   Consciousness, 2. Individual Will, 3. Universal Spirit. The "spirit"   
   is the universal spirit portion. As to continuation of the spirit,   
   it shall always exist, but if it becomes separated from the soul -    
   or the individual consciousness portion + the individual will portion -   
   then it shall return to or be subsumed back into the spirit God who   
   lent it. [Note: Sometimes the Readings refer to all three portions   
   together - or in other words the entire being or entity - as "spirit",   
   and sometimes the Readings refer to the soul - or in other words    
   the individual consciousness portion + the individual will portion -   
   as "spirit", so one needs to be careful as to which is meant in any    
   particular instance.]   
       
       
   HERE ARE SOME Reading excerpts which form the basis of this ADDENDUM   
   regarding "Soul" and "Spirit", in addition to all of the foregoing material:   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 1567-2   
   In the beginning, when there was the creating, or the calling of individual   
   entities into being, we were made to be the companions with the Father-God.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 2830-2   
   For, the Creative Force made or brought into being SOULS to be equal with,    
   and one with, Him; even as is manifested in the Way, the Truth, the Light.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-115   
   Then why, as has been said, is God mindful of an individual soul? SPIRIT!   
   For our spirit, that is a portion of His Spirit.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 2448-2   
   Know that there is only one Spirit, and that thou possessest thy measure of    
   same. Thy WILL is given thee to use or abuse that Spirit. For, the Spirit is    
   of the Creator, and thy body is the temple of that Spirit manifested in the
