   Spirit, making all things possible through the application of that   
   understanding of Spirit in life's experiences or life's conditions,   
   in whatever form they may be presented.

   And each soul must know itself to be itself and yet one with God.   
   That's Christianity!   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 281-37   
   (Q) Revelation 21:15: Please interpret - What is the golden reed to   
   measure the city? ...   
   (A) The new understanding, the reed to measure the city, the abilities   
   of each. Not unto all is given to be ministers, not unto all to be   
   interpreters, not unto all to be this or that; but measured according   
   to that whereunto they have purposed in their hearts. Though all are   
   as one, remember it has been given that the purpose of the heart is   
   to know YOURSELF to BE yourself and yet one with God even as Jesus,   
   even as is represented in God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy   
   Spirit; each knowing themselves to be themselves yet ONE! So the   
   measurements for those that make the vibrations within themselves   
   that become attuned to the new purpose, the new desire, the new   
   hopes, the new Revelation, the new understandings TO DO THE WILL   
   OF THE FATHER [DDF emphasis] with the will of that made perfect in    
   the Christ.   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 452-3   
   (Q) Explain how the "Atonement of Christ" and the "At-onement with   
   Christ" are in harmony.   
   (A) The atonement and at-onement is one in the faith that He, the   
   Christ, presented to man that manner of life, that manner of activity   
   in a material world that leaves easy the spiritual self in atonement for   
   that which has been met in the experience of the entity, or self - and   
   hence becomes the ONENESS, THROUGH atonement, WITH the   
   Creative Forces - which is God! Hence the ONENESS of Christ life,   
   Christ manifestations in the material world, brings those that trust in   
   Him - and act that way - to the consciousness of that at-onement in Him.   
   (Q) Explain the harmony between the "Atonement of Christ" and   
   Re-incarnation.   
   (A) That as is the experience must be met in the activity of that soul,   
   that is an INDIVIDUALITY, that may be one WITH God yet NOT God -   
   yet one WITH Him in its individuality. Hence, as the Son of man -   
   made in the flesh - in Adam brought sin, or separation from God -   
   in the last Adam, the Christ, brought that AT-ONEMENT WITH God.   
   So does this, then, make the at-onement with those that, as He,   
   make themselves - through Him - in the same activity, the same   
   at-onement, WITH Him.   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 2021-1   
   For, each soul enters that it may make its paths straight. For they    
   alone who walk the straight and narrow way may know themselves    
   to be themselves, and yet one with the Creative Forces. Hence the    
   purpose for each entrance is that the opportunities may be embraced    
   by the entity for living, being, that which is creative and in keeping    
   with the Way. For, the Father has not willed that any soul should    
   perish, and is thus mindful that each soul has again and again - and    
   yet again - the opportunity for making its paths straight. In giving the    
   urges which are innate and manifested - know that these are according    
   to spiritual, mental, and material laws. For each entity, each soul, finds   
   itself in a three-dimensional world; body, mind, soul. Hence man in   
   his search has given the Godhead a three-dimensional expression;   
   thus meeting each phase of each soul's experience. Thus the way is   
   opened continuously; that they who seek may find, that they who   
   believe that He is may know Him and thus pattern their lives -    
   physically, mentally, spiritually - according to the pattern which    
   has been set for each soul.   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 1158-12   
   (Q) If God is impersonal force or energy -   
   (A) (Interrupting) He IS impersonal; but as has just been given, so    
   VERY personal! It is not that ye deal only with IMPERSONAL - it is   
   WITHIN AND WITHOUT! It is IN and WITHOUT, and only as God   
   QUICKENETH the spirit within, by the use, by the application of the   
   God-force within to mete it out to others. Else HOW, WHY, did that   
   material experience of a man hanging on a Cross bring - BRING -   
   redemption to a world? In this: Though ye know He had the power   
   within Himself to come down from the Cross, though He had the    
   power to heal, though He had power to rid the very taking HOLD   
   upon death, it had not claims upon Him. Why? QUICKENED by    
   the Father because the life LIVED among men, the dealings among   
   MEN, brought ONLY hope, ONLY patience, ONLY love, ONLY   
   longsuffering! This then being the law of God made manifest, He   
   BECOMES the law by manifesting same before man; and thus - as   
   man, even as ye - becomes as one with the Father. For until ye   
   become in purpose, in activity, a savior - yea, a god - unto thy   
   fellow man, ye do not take hold upon that PERSONALITY, the   
   INDIVIDUALITY of GOD - that is the life, that is the being of life,   
   eternity, hope and love! These then become not only as impersonal   
   but personal, in that ye know thyself - even as He, thy brother in the   
   flesh, made manifest - that ye are aware of thyself BEING thyself,   
   yet one with Him; and thus able to enter into the joys, WHOLLY,   
   that are prepared since - yea, before - the very foundations of   
   materiality, for those that keep His ways.   
      
   Edgar Cayce Reading 815-7   
   (Q) Since the soul of each individual is part of the One Soul, the   
   Great Soul, or what Emerson calls the "Over-Soul", why then is it   
   that its impulsions in each of us are not clearly and singularly heard?   
   And what is meant by the phrase "a soul lesson" - as if the soul    
   instead of being our guide and destiny, needed any lessons from the   
   self, the incarnating entity?   
   (A) This, to perfectly understand, might require the whole period    
   here of interpreting. But the entity forgets that God, the Creative    
   Force, in creating souls - with the attributes of the "Over-Soul" or the    
   One - endowed each soul with FREE WILL, in its movement through    
   time and space - being endowed then with a consciousness in    
   whatever dimension or manifestation the soul moves in that period    
   of expression. God, the First Cause, has not willed that any soul should    
   perish, and has with every temptation given a way, a means, of escape.    
   The entity or soul, in any given period of time of manifestation in space,    
   may use those attributes of that phase of its consciousness in whatever    
   realm it moves, according to the dictates of that which impels it -    
   through its will. If the soul were at all periods, all manifestations,    
   to keep in that perfect accord, or law, with the "Over-Soul" or the    
   First Cause, or the Soul from which it comes, then there would be    
   only a continuous at-onement with the First Cause. But when an    
   entity, a soul, uses a period of manifestation - in whatever realm of    
   consciousness - to its OWN INDULGENCES - then there is need for    
   the lesson, or for the soul understanding or interpreting, or to   
   become aware of the error of its way.   
       
   THE ERROR OF ITS WAY - ITS WAY - NOT THE ERROR OF ITS    
   CONSCIOUSNESS ! ! ! !   
       
   A FALSE PREACHER PREACHES THE ERROR OF THE    
   CONSCIOUSNESS ! ! ! !   
       
   THE READINGS PREACH THE ERROR OF THE   
   WILL AND THE WAY ! ! ! !   
       
   AND ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THE WILL ONE WITH    
   GOD CAN RIGHTLY INTERPRET BOTH THE HOLY BIBLE AND    
   THE CAYCE READINGS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THOSE   
   WHO HAVE NOT HAVE "MEDITATED" OR STUDIED OR    
   THOUGHT OR READ AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY    
   HAVE IMAGINED THAT THEIR INTERPRETATION IS RIGHT ! ! ! !
