“Our souls are here with our personalities, and our intentions help or hinder soul growth, as in Cayce’s channeling below:
‘While mind is the builder, it is the purpose, the intent with which an individual applies self mentally, that brings those physical results into materiality. And these should be kept in coordination (equal in rank) one with another. Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man sows, that must he or she also reap. And with what measure you measure out to others; it will be measured to you again.
In the physical body, be mindful to keep proper eliminations. As in the experience of most individuals during the elderly portion of the life, the lagging of this or that phase of the eliminating activity finds its reaction in the body-forces.
Thus, as has been the stress for this body: Budget the time, so that the spiritual and mental has its periods of recreation. Budget so that the mental has those relaxations, those periods of stimulation, those periods of social activity that are ever creative. These keep a balance.’ (257-252)
In this directive, Cayce gives several of his key teachings.
- What goes around, comes around.
- Budget time for spiritual and mental needs.
- The second commandment to love one another is as important as the first. We are to be interacting with others in creative ways, never destructive.
- Balance! Over and over Cayce taught that life needs to be well-balanced, for it is unhealthy for us to focus on one activity to the neglect of others. Our souls entered physical life intentionally but are expecting mental and spiritual recreation and stimulation.”
