   earth to defend or to use in thine own ego, or thine own self-indulgence, or    
   to thine own glory, OR unto the glory of Him who gave thee life and    
   immortality - if ye preserve that life, that spirit in Him.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-78   
   God called into being the mind that is a portion of self.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 3545-1   
   Your ability or your consciousness in the present is lent thee as an   
   opportunity.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 826-8   
   WILL is that factor of the spiritual forces or the gift, as it were,   
   TO man.   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 945-1   
   For without the gift of free will to the soul, how COULD it become aware    
   of the Presence of the All-Abiding Creative Force or Energy called God?   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 826-11   
   In giving such there must be given then some premise that is acceptable or    
   stated as being a practical thing or condition in the experience of the    
   entity; that it may be a part of the entity in fulfilling that purpose in    
   the present experience. The entity or man then is physical, mental and    
   spiritual; or the physical body, the mental body, the spiritual body.   
   The spiritual is that portion of same, or that body, that is everlasting;    
   that is a portion of all it has applied in its mental experiences through    
   the sojourns in the environs of which the entity or soul or spirit body    
   is a part. From whence came then this spirit body, that we find in    
   consciousness in the present; aware of the physical attributes, aware of    
   at least a portion of its mental abilities, its mental capacities; only    
   catching a glimpse here and there in the application of spiritual laws or    
   spiritual truths of the spiritual body? The spirit is the universal    
   consciousness, or God; that which is the First Cause; that which is    
   manifested in all the varied forms and manners that are experienced in    
   the activities of the individual in this particular sphere of activity or    
   phase of consciousness in the present. Why the entity - why the spirit of    
   this entity? A gift, a companion, - yea, a very portion of that First Cause.   
   Hence the purposes that it, the entity, the spirit body, may make manifest    
   in materiality or in physical consciousness the more and more awareness of    
   the relationships of the mental body, the physical body to eternity,    
   infinity, or the God-Consciousness. Why? That is the purpose, that is    
   the gift, that is the activity for maintaining its consciousness throughout    
   matter, mind or spirit. For, as is the consciousness of the entity in    
   materiality, when there is such a diffusion of consciousness as to change,    
   alter or create a direction for an activity of any influence that has taken    
   on consciousness of matter to waver it from its purpose for being in a    
   consciousness, it loses its individual identity. What then is the purpose    
   of the entity's activity in the consciousness of mind, matter, spirit in    
   the present? That it, the entity, may KNOW itself to BE itself and part of    
   the Whole; not the Whole but one WITH the whole; and thus retaining its    
   individuality, knowing itself to be itself yet one with the purposes of    
   the First Cause that called it, the entity, into BEING, into the awareness,    
   into the consciousness of itself. That is the purpose, that is the cause    
   of BEING.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 5377-1   
   The mind is amenable or the builder.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 1620-1   
   The mind is the builder, continuous to the extent that it is constructive,   
   taking hold upon spirituality.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 1861-5   
   As to how eternal the mind is depends upon its creative influence, or as    
   to how eternal it remains.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-80   
   MAN - the free will agent; man made to become a companion to the    
   Creator...makes his Destiny as to whether his mind...is one with or in    
   opposition to the Creative Forces.   
       
       
   AND HERE ARE references to "soul and spirit" found in The Holy Bible and    
   The Cayce Readings. Regarding the latter, sometimes the expression is   
   "soul and spirit", sometimes the expression is "spirit and soul", and in    
   some Readings these are both used, and in some Readings these are   
   both used even in one sentence:   
       
   Hebrews 4   
   For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged    
   sword, piercing even to the point of division between soul and spirit.   
       
   1 Thessalonians 5   
   May the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and    
   soul and body be preserved without blemish to the coming of our Lord    
   Jesus Christ.    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 5752-3   
   EC: Yes. In presenting that which may be helpful, it is understood    
   by many that there is the body, the soul, the spirit. Words are often    
   confusing in describing terms in each of these conditions. Yet, if    
   they are determined for the present, these conditions may aid those    
   seeking to determine or know that which may be helpful and the    
   sources of information that may be presented through any or all of    
   such channels.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 8-1   
   You will give the former appearances of the soul and spirit of the    
   entity upon the earth plane...   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 136-27   
   That builded in the earth's plane, then, is that upon which the    
   soul and spirit feeds.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 137-3   
   In this entity this has been kept, and the body keeps the living way    
   within itself and presents the body, soul and spirit, holy and    
   acceptable unto Him, which is a reasonable service.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 139-12   
   The spiritual elements must then be awakened to that consciousness of    
   the ability to induce the action, physical, or the disintegration between    
   soul and spirit and physical would take place, eventually, in the near    
   future. See?   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 180-1   
   In the spiritual entity one well developed, and an old soul and spirit.    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 195-8   
   Hence the innate desire to work with metals of every character, and    
   the clinging ever closer to that universal force, as is found in the    
   indwelling forces that lie between the soul and spirit in every entity.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-3   
   (Q) [404]: Where must I begin in order to have full coordination in    
   my own body, soul and spirit?    
   (A) Begin with making of self - and self's OWN efforts - as naught    
   but a channel of blessings from the SOURCE of good to others.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 294-15   
   In the separation of the soul and spirit from an earthly abode, ...   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 294-19   
   ...the Universal Forces as are applied to the manifestations of    
   soul and spirit entities through the physical or earth plane.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 304-5   
   You will give the name of the planet from which the soul and spirit    
   of this entity took its flight.    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 341-1   
   EC: We see the soul and spirit completed this present entity at 3:23    
   in the afternoon.    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 470-1   
   ...those sources of strength, power, from which the soul and spirit    
   emanate.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 487-1   
   EC: Yes, we have the conditions here. Body, we find the soul and    
   spirit took possession and made the entity as known here at 7:58    
   in the morning, see?....The entity, soul and spirit portion, has    
   had this, its fourth appearance upon the earth plane.    
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 538-5   
   EC: Yes, we have the conditions here. We find the soul and spirit    
   took possession of this late in the [afternoon] evening. [Her mother    
   later told her she was born at 8:00 A.M.]....As to the appearances,    
   as the soul and spirit portion of the entity present, we find as    
   were these:...
