The 2022 course will study and apply getting and staying healthy – physically, mentally, and spiritually. It will explore the activities and principles that bring us happiness. And it will explore all the teachings that humanity has discovered and shared about living a meaningful life. Here’s a little sample:
Ancient teachings set forth the principle that illness is a result of disharmony in our being. Health can be revived by bringing our physical, mental, and spiritual energies back into coordinated harmony. Here are a few of Cayce’s key teachings on this manner.
“It [recovery] will require that there be such an attitude in mind, in purpose, in hope, and in relationships to others, that each cell of the body may be tuned to the divine within. Each cell must become expectant, that there may be the renewing, the revivifying of the relationships that the soul-entity bears to Creative Forces.” (ECRL 3511-1)
Here’s another:
“Thus, there may be a revivifying, a resuscitating, a creating of an environment such that the body-mind, with its spiritual concepts and its spiritual understanding, may arouse the whole of the body-forces to their better functioning.” (ECRL 1620-1)
And another:
“Being able to raise within the vibrations of individuals to that which is a resuscitating, a revivifying influence and force through the deep meditation – the attunement of self to the higher vibrations in Creative Forces – these are manifested in people through the promises that are coming from Creative Forces or Energy itself!” (ECRL 993-4)
This teaching reminds me of growing up in the 1960s were we young people were more aware of people’s vibrations rather than their looks. I can remember at the university chatting with my buddies about people’s vibes, not their appearance. That generation produced the classic song “Good Vibrations” by the Beach Boys, which includes these lyrics: “Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now; Softly smile, I know she must be kind; When I look in her eyes, She goes with me to a blossom world; I’m picking up good vibrations.”
Here are more of Cayce’s teachings:
“Put hope and trust and faith in the divine within – the revivifying, the rejuvenating of that spirit of life and truth within every atom of the body. This will put to flight all of those things that hinder a body from giving expression of the most hopeful, the most beautiful.” (ECRL 572-5)
This next teaching had a profound effect on me. It caused me to let go of the memories and regrets I was carrying at the time, and to accept that some wounds are beyond our healing abilities, requiring us to draw on higher forces, on divine influences. For me, this influence was the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, that Jesus spoke of in the Gospel of John, chapters 14-15 that Cayce encouraged us to read as if the words were spoken directly to us. Here’s that teaching:
“The addition of energy-building forces has not removed the hurt, the disappointment. For this has attacked the physical body through the sensory and sympathetic nervous system, causing the reaction. Not that there is any mental disturbance, no. It is rather a hurt, an injury, a disappointment such that there can only come the renewing, the revivifying, by putting the whole trust, faith and renewed life in divine hands.” (ECRL 4037-1)
In these teachings we find expectancy, spiritual arousal, spiritual understanding, good vibrations, and trust and faith in the divine within. All of these are enlivened by tuning to the divine within. I think of my body-mind as a cosmic radio, tuning within to the frequency of the creative, life-sustaining forces of the divine, then listening to the healing melody of that sacred “silence.” When I return, I am renewed.
The courses are in the Member Section on our website: EdgarCayce.org. Click on the button “Member Login.” You will find a viewable and downloadable written lesson and a video. In 2021 we studied how to Enhance Our Minds, Intuition, and Dreams. You can still access those lessons in the Member Section. For 2022, we are focusing on Cayce’s insights into achieving health, happiness, and a meaningful life. As most of you know, Cayce tuned his deeper mind to the Universal Mind, then channeled information on various topics helpful to us in our daily lives and soul growth.
I’ll see you each month with a written lesson and video. I’m wishing you a Happy Hanukkah, a Merry Christmas, a wonderful Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year! See you next year, John.
