Edgar Cayce's Twelve Lessons in Personal Spirituality

Cooperation at the physical level requires a harmony of activity. Cooperation within ourselves, as well as in our interactions with others, is necessary for the achievement of any outcome or for the attainment of any goal.

(254-42) Therefore, true cooperation allows for a oneness of mind, a oneness of purpose, and a oneness of result.

Cooperation at the mental level deals with a unity of purpose.

One of the most frequently mentioned concepts in the Edgar Cayce material is that Spirit is the life, mind is the builder, and the physical is the result.

Perhaps more than anything else, this premise of somehow preparing ourselves for the activity of Spirit to flow through us is what defines the readings’ approach to cooperation:

In addition, the readings suggested that one take the entire process of meditation seriously and remember it as a vehicle for cultivating our personal relationship with God:

It is not musing, not daydreaming; but as ye find your bodies made up of the physical, mental and spiritual, it is the attuning of the mental body and the physical body to its spiritual source. Many say that ye have no consciousness of having a soul,—yet the very fact that ye hope, that ye have a desire for better things, the very fact that ye are able to be sorry or glad, indicates an activity of the mind that takes hold upon something that is not temporal in its nature—something that passeth not away with the last breath that is drawn but that takes hold upon the very sources of its beginning—the soul—that which was made in the image of thy Maker—not thy body, no—not thy mind, but thy soul was in the image of thy Creator.
