Text: The terms `psychic force' and `occult force' are often confusing. "In the truest sense, `psychic' means the expression to the material world of the latent, or hidden sense of the soul and spirit forces, whether manifested from behind, or in and through the material plane." Cayce (3744-1) (2) `Occult' forces are the channels through which the soul forces manifest. "One is the study of the other. One is the essence of the sources, and the other channels through which, of which, the study." Cayce (262-20) (2) "While occultism and mysticism may bring strength in the measure where self may apply same, yet, self must be so grounded as not to be disturbed to the point of destruction. While the influence of the occult and the mysterious in nature, in the universe, in universal forces, are wonderful in their magnitude and in those elements that make up material or human experience, yet, thereoft partakes so much of that in the material plane as termed fanatical, that unless one is well grounded self is lost in the maze of experience. Grounded in that truth in self, and relationship of the Creative Energy with the application of the truth in human experience brings the understanding that enables one to impart to others the strength of the self as pertaining to such experiences." Cayce (307-1) (2) In turning to another phase of the relative activity of forces, let us consider the human body. "In the body of a living, physical being, we have a body made up of many atoms, and their relations to one another depend upon the force as is given in each part to work upon, or in, or through the system. In the nerve system we find that of the force of physical matter or subcon- scious or soul matter, or superconscious or spirit matter, all receiving a force, as may be illustrated in this: When an injury comes to a portion of the body, the nerves transmit first an urge to move; then, the forces of all the elements of other parts of the body are brought into play, that which carries, (the blood); that which replenishes, (the corpuscles); that which stimulates the building of new cells, (the glands); etc. In simpler terms, the Divine force expresses its activity through the various forms of manifestation. From our conscious standpoint we must consider the relative action as manifests through what we call position, space-time." Cayce (3744-2)
