   application of knowledge and understanding in its relationships to others.    
   To know of a thing, then, is not sufficient. To KNOW you know, and apply    
   same in the experience and relationships to others is worth while,    
   provided the application is such as to induce others to give themselves in    
   greater expression - of what? What, then, is life, light and immortality?    
   What is the hope of eternal life? What is the assurance of the continuity of    
   life? These have been problems in the experience of the entity in not only    
   the present sojourn but in many sojourns in the earth. Then, let this be as    
   an illustration, as a demonstration, in the mental self: The Mind is the    
   Builder, as it is both spiritual and material, according to its application in    
   the associations with individuals, conditions, or circumstance...    
       
       
   BESIDES ALL OF THE FOREGOING, we also have the Reading confirmation    
   of Bible scriptures regarding potential loss of soul, as well as the Reading   
   statement over and over again that it is not God's will that any soul should   
   be lost and that God has not willed that any soul should be lost.   
       
   QUESTION IS, if the soul or being or entity is eternal, as many want to say -    
   especially those into Eastern Thought and/or Channeled Materials and/or    
   Pop Philosophies and/or the imaginative daydreaming wicked - then why    
   all this Reading and Bible talk about loss of soul? Do the Readings, and did     
   Jesus, not know what they are talking about? Of course not! The soul or    
   being or entity IS NOT INNATELY OR CURRENTLY ETERNAL - only the spirit    
   portion of same is, and if self is to keep the spirit portion depends upon the    
   choices of self! If self lives for Spirit, then self shall keep spirit for   
   eternity!    
   If self lives for Satan, Self, Sin, then self shall lose spirit for eternity,    
   beginning when cast or thrown into The Lake Of Fire With Brimstone at the    
   second and final judgment:   
       
   Matthew 16   
   Then Jesus said to his disciples, He who wishes to come after me, let him    
   deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wishes to    
   save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find   
   it.    
   For how will a man be benefited, if he should gain the whole world and lose    
   his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 257-36   
   Study to show self approved unto Him, the Giver of all good and perfect    
   gifts - for this the basis EVER for an entity to work; for what profit it a   
   man    
   to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what would a man give in    
   exchange for his soul?   
       
   Matthew 10   
   Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but who cannot kill the soul;    
   but above all, be afraid of him who can destroy both the soul and the body     
   in hell.    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 602-7   
   Remember, there has been given [DDF: i.e. in The Holy Bible], fear rather    
   Him who may destroy body and soul, than he who may destroy the body    
   alone.   
       
   James 5   
   Whosoever causes a sinner to convert from his erroneous path, shall save    
   a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-58   
   And they, as He has promised, that have saved a soul from sin, from    
   perdition, have covered a multitude of sins, and their robes are washed in    
   the blood of the Lamb.   
       
       
   IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE kept in mind that the Readings subscribe to the   
   doctrine of Dispensationalism, or the succession of one dispensation   
   to another, and that therefore whatever has been applying to and is still    
   applying to this current dispensation will not necessarily apply to the next    
   dispensation, which next dispensation the Readings refer to as "the new    
   dispensation" - the dispensation in which glorified regenerated Jesus and    
   the glorified regenerated righteous will spend one thousand years straight    
   on the earth in peace and joy, while during the same one thousand years    
   straight the non-glorifed non-regenerated wicked will be kept in outer    
   darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth or crying and    
   complaining in mental torment in the "wonderful" company of one another    
   and knowing what will be coming later (not good):   
       
   THE NEW DISPENSATION   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 281-43   
   After the purification (which took some six and a half years, as time    
   would be measured in the present), there began the classifying of    
   services of individuals in their activity through the various offices    
   that were undertaken during that period of the greater prosperity    
   through the Egyptian experience. For there was not only the adding to    
   the monuments, but the Atlanteans aided in their activities with the    
   creating of that called the Pyramid, with its records of events of the    
   earth through its activity in all of the ages to that in which the new    
   dispensation is to come.   
       
   DISPENSATION    
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 262-37   
   (Q) Please explain more fully what is meant by the mount as patterned    
   in the physical body.    
   (A) A whole volume might be written on this subject! The reference is    
   given as to the pattern given in the mount as for those under that    
   particular dispensation, for THEIR edification in the approach to that    
   they worshiped through that period. And the pattern in the mount is    
   represented in the body through that shown in the glorification in the    
   mount, as seen upon transfiguration, showing the specific reference as    
   to the Cross and the Crown. For, as the pattern in the first approach    
   of man that came to the outer court (the physical body), the inner court    
   (the spiritual man) is approached through the mental body (to the holy of    
   holies), where the Father may speak as face to face. So, in the vision -    
   or the representation in the mount, the law and the prophets were    
   represented in the physical, the mental, the spiritual; in Moses, Elijah,    
   and the Christ.    
       
   DISPENSATION   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 294-136   
   As is visioned in the dream, the position of the body and the acts at    
   the time indicated the clearing of the system of those things that are    
   vile, or as ejections of drosses from body, so that as visioned at or    
   through those periods, that seemed to indicate through the activities of    
   others - that are indicated by the mound, or prominence as in front of    
   body - WITH this arising will come OUT of same that as indicated by the    
   serpent, which indicates the wisdom of ALL things being known to others    
   as pertain to their proper relationships and understandings, and while    
   temptations arise - as through the serpent - with the use of the rod, or    
   staff, as is of life, as is represented by those that are, or were, the    
   leaders in each dispensation, of activity, may be used in love and truth,    
   budding to like itself, as in the hands of many. So may it make for the    
   overcoming of that which would hinder, or injure in any way, and bring    
   about that peace as sought by the tempter in the vision.   
       
   DISPENSATIONS   
       
   Edgar Cayce Reading 3344-2   
   The entity [Philas, Palestine Period] was among those who were students    
   of the law, those who were interested in the activities having to do with    
   questionings pertaining to the law that had been interpreted from the    
   priests and rabbis of the day pertaining to the Mosaic law, and the    
   interesting facts and fancies that had come from the eastern lands, from    
   which the Wise Men had come. These, as parts of the teachings, had    
   become adopted by those groups of the Essenes of which John and Joseph
