“One of the most exciting and promising of all of the statements in the Edgar Cayce readings is the assurance that there is no question we can ask that cannot be answered from within. No matter how far astray we have gone, we may begin to attune ourselves through meditation and prayer to the indwelling spirit within. As He said, ‘I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.’ (John 14:18.) And ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.’ (Rev. 3:20)
As we invite His spirit into our lives and begin to work with spiritual ideals, both to quicken the proper motivations within ourselves and to serve as standards or criteria by which to measure the motivational origins of our decisions, we may grow more and more in that assurance promised in the Bible and in the readings that ‘My spirit beareth witness with thy spirit.’
Many people who came to Edgar Cayce for advice were told that the information they sought could best be obtained from attunement to that spirit within themselves. The readings gave very specific and detailed information to many individuals on how to go about decision-making with confidence and assurance.
Here is an example of the way the readings spoke of this procedure:
Q-6. How can one be sure that a decision is in accordance with God’s will?
A-6. As indicated here before. Ask self in the own conscious self, ‘Shall I do this or not?’ The voice will answer within. Then meditate, ask the same, Yes or No. You may be very sure if thine own conscious self and the divine self are in accord, you are truly in that activity indicated, ‘My spirit beareth witness with thy spirit.’ You can’t get far wrong in following the word, as ye call the word of God. 2072-14″
