It is not what one says that counts, but what one is!

Edgar Cayce Reading 524-2

. . the church is within yourself and not in any pope nor preacher, nor in any building but in self! For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God, and the Christ becomes a personal companion in mind and in body; dependent upon the personality and individuality of the entity as it makes practical application of the tenets and truths that are expressed.

Edgar Cayce Reading 5125-1

But do not put off today that which will bring hope and help to the mind of another . . . Those things that make for the putting off become a joy never fulfilled. Use, then, the experiences from day to day as the basis, and these will grow under thine very effort; surprising even to self as to the joy that comes from same, and gradually taking shape to become a joy to self and blessings to others.

Edgar Cayce Reading 877-9

Whether in joy, in sorrow, in trouble or in pain, let that mind be in you as was in He that gave, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."

Edgar Cayce Reading 262-33

An experience, then, is not only a happening, but what is the reaction in your own mind? What does it do to you to make your life, your habits, your relationships to others of a more helpful nature, with a more hopeful attitude?
These are the criterions for every individual's experience--sincerity of purpose, of desire; putting the whole law into effect in the activities--which is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy mind, thy body, and thy neighbor as thyself.
This is the whole law. All the other things given or written are only the interpreting of same.
Then what does such a proclaiming preclude? From what basis is the reasoning drawn? What is the purpose of an individual experience of an entity or soul into the earth at any given period?
These answered then give a background for the interpreting of why.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1567-2

Nothing grows, nothing remains alone unless dead. A mind, a body that sits alone and considers the outside and never turning that within to the out, nor that without from within, soon finds drosses setting up in the system; for development is change. Change is the activity of knowledge from within. Learn to live! Then there is no death, save the transition, when desired.

Edgar Cayce Reading 900-465

Remember, the soft word turns away wrath and it brings joy, the kind word as ye have found in thine own experience oft has made the day much brighter for thee. Make many days brighter for others and in making them more and more in attune with love, patience, longsuffering, gentleness and kindness, ye will make for thyself a surety in those things that take hold on peace, harmony and joy. These should be a part of thine experience ever.

Edgar Cayce Reading 5098-1

In the care of self, selflessness is great. But be more mindful of the little niceties about self and you will find a pride in self--not a false pride. But as nature manifested in its Maker, it does the best it can with what it has and looks the most beautiful with what it has to do with. Thy body, too, is indeed the temple of the living God. Keep it beautiful. Be mindful of the care of same, and you--too--will think more of it. So will there be more of the abilities to be conscious of His presence meeting with thee in thy temple; forget it not.

Edgar Cayce Reading 3179-1

And when those relationships about same have been and are such that those conditions arise wherein there is the lack of harmonious effects that are possible, then as He hath given, put at naught those experiences, those influences. Let them be rather as they were not.

Edgar Cayce Reading 845-4

All things having force or power in the earth, in the heavens, in the sea, are given that power from Him; that those who seek may know Him the better. He hath not willed, He hath not destined that any soul should perish. In patience, in persistency, in consistency of thy manifestations of His love before and to and of thy fellow man, ye become aware that thy soul is a portion of the Creator, that it is the gift of the Father to thee. This is manifested in thine daily experience. That portion of thy body which is of the earth-earthy remains with the earth, but that thou hast glorified, that thou hast used as a channel for the manifestations of His Spirit--of thy soul in communion with Him, that body will be raised with Him in righteousness. That the physical body becomes ensnared, entangled in those things in the earth, through the gratifying of those desires that are fleshly alone, those that are carnal, is manifested by the dis-ease, the corruption, the turmoil, the strife that arises within the experience of each soul in its thoughtful activities in the earth.

Edgar Cayce Reading 272-9

For ever, day by day, is there a choice to be made by each soul. One may lead to happiness, joy; the other to confusion, to disturbing forces, to evil and to self-condemnation.
But the will is of self, else ye would not indeed be the child of the Creative and Living Force or God that ye are; but as an automaton.
Then exercise thyself, and bring that to pass in thy experience that will create for thee the environ of helpful hopefulness in the experience day by day.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1538-1

. . happiness is love of something outside of self! It may never be obtained, may never be known by loving only things within self or self's own domain!

Edgar Cayce Reading 281-30

Study more to understand that each at all times stands in the presence of that Power, that Force, that brings to each the power of knowing self in a material world. Each act, each thought of each body adds to the bringing about of His Kingdom in the earth, or adds to that which prevents it from becoming manifest in this material plane . . .

Edgar Cayce Reading 911-6

In Him there are no limitations. One only limits self by doubt or fear.

Edgar Cayce Reading 2574-1

For all prayer is answered. Don't tell God how to answer it.

Edgar Cayce Reading 4028-1

. . there is no urge in the astrological, in the vocational, in the hereditary or the environmental which surpasses the will or determination of the entity . . . it is true there is nothing in heaven or hell that may separate the entity from the knowledge or from the love of the Creative Force called God, but self.

Edgar Cayce Reading 5023-2

Q) How may the doubt be prevented?
(A) By the application of that thou knowest to do today, putting the trust in Him, making the personal application of that thou knowest to do in His name.

Edgar Cayce Reading 524-2

As has been indicated, a little more patient, a little more tolerant, a little more humble. But . . .not a tolerance that becomes timid--this would make rebellion in self. Not a patience that is not positive. Not an humbleness that becomes morbid or lacking in beauty. For as orderliness is a part of thy being, so let consistency--as persistency--be a part of thy being.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1402-1

Faults in others are first reflected in self. When such conditions arise in the experience of an entity, there should be first those considerations of that in self that has produced such a reflection, so that the God shining through any activity is lost sight of by self in the fellow man; especially one that is seeking for the spiritual activities in a material plane, and he that would gain the world and lose self's own soul has lost all.

Edgar Cayce Reading 452-3

Thus the purpose of each experience is that the entity may magnify and glorify that which is good. For, good is of the one source, God, and is eternal.
Then as an individual entity magnifies that which is good, and minimizes that which is false, it grows in grace, in knowledge, in understanding.

Edgar Cayce Reading 2599-1

Know thy ideal, and live to that. For, each soul must give account for its own self.

Edgar Cayce Reading 2803-2

Then, when these are weighed, choose thou. For, as has ever been, there is no influence that may supersede the will of man; for such are the gifts unto the sons of men that they may make their souls such as to be the companionship with the All-Wise, All-Creative Forces, or separate from them. For, there is no impelling force other than that, "If ye will be my people, I will be your God." It is always thus.

Edgar Cayce Reading 440-16

. . to bring hope, to bring cheer, to bring joy, yea to bring a smile again to those whose face and heart are bathed in tears and in woe, is but making that divine love shine--shine--in thy own soul.
Then smile, be joyous, be glad! For the day of the Lord is at hand.

Edgar Cayce Reading 987-4

. . in thine own heart there comes those things that would make afraid. But fear is of the earth. The spirit of truth and righteousness casteth out fear.

Edgar Cayce Reading 397-1

Do not try to assist self, but rather smile upon those that are downhearted and sad; lift the load from those that find theirs too heavy to bear, in gentleness, in kindness, in long-suffering, in patience, in mercy, in brotherly love. And as ye show forth these to thy fellow man, the ways and the gates of glory open before thee.

Edgar Cayce Reading 272-8

Then let it be a personal thing to thee, that He is thy strength, He is thy life! For in Him ye live and move and have thy being!

Edgar Cayce Reading 528-13

Yet the choice of that form which any of these shall take is ever dependent upon the will, that heritage from the Father that makes for every soul's development--whether as a companion for those environs of the celestial form or whether the terrestrial or the earth that must find its way. For the will of self is as of the Father; He hath not willed that any soul should perish but hath with each temptation, with each trial prepared a way of escape; making as the bridge the Cross, over which each soul may find the glory of its Lord and of that to which it has sought to attain.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1246-2

If it is held . . . as a cross, it will remain as one . . . with individuals where there is in their experience crosses to bear, hardships or surroundings that to them are overpowering, overwhelming, by slights, slurs, and fancies of the inactivity of a coordinating force. If these are held continually as crosses, or as things to be overcome, then they will remain as crosses. But if they are to be met with the spirit of truth and right in their own selves, they should create joy; for that is what will be built.

Edgar Cayce Reading 552-2

The purpose in life, then, is not the gratifying of appetites nor of any selfish desires, but it is that the entity, the soul, may make the earth, where the entity finds its consciousness, a better place in which to live.
