“The cosmology (the science of the origin and development of the universe) in the Cayce readings gives us a hint at why a universe was birthed in the first place: ‘Spirit is in the image of the Creative Forces and seeks manifestation,’ (391-4). Spirit seeks manifestation. And as Spirit expresses in manifestation, it takes on form; matter comes into existence.
As part of becoming, Spirit seeks expression in individual — even personal — form. ‘KNOW that the creative Energy called God may be as personal as an individual will allow same to be. It may take that personality, that it will be allowed by the individual itself.‘ (391-4) This is where we come in. The readings would suggest that we are equipped to be the vessels in which Spirit wakes up in matter as individual, personal expressions. The readings further suggest that the impetus behind such personalized, individualized expression is the Creator’s intention for each of us to ‘be His companion, one with Him in each of the activities.’ (1594-1)
And it is here on earth that we are enabled to prepare for this level of ‘companionship’ with God. (5284-1) To be a co-creator is an awesome thing when we stop to really think about it. But to be on the intimate footing of companion to That which comes before the big bang, companion to the Source and Essence of All That Is, companion to the Power behind every law of the universe and the Answer to every mystery — now that is really something!
We each have a role to play, no matter how unworthy or unready we may feel. ‘That of the spirit is the spark or portion of the Divine that is in every entity, whether complete or of the evolution to that completeness … Each and every person … has its individual force toward the great creation, and its individual niche, place or unit to perform.’ In this way, our development will ‘be of assistance to the world.’ (3744-5)
For every one of us, our overriding purpose is to undergo our own development in service to creation itself, to be the means by which the original Divine intention is carried out. And we do that not only by co-creating the world but by co-creating our unique individual Selves.”
