Text: "The soul is an individual, individuality, that may grow to be one with, or separate from, the whole. The spirit is the impelling influence of infinity, or the one creative source, force, that is manifest. ...spirit is the life-giving force in every condition, whether of mental or material action." - Cayce Reading 5749-3 "There is a vast deal of difference between spiritual and soul forces, for, as given, each force there has been set guards or bounds. Spirit forces are the animation of ALL LIFE giving life-producing forces in animate or inanimate forces." - Cayce Reading 900-17 M 29 "Let's not confuse the terms soul and spirit, for they are not the same." - Edgar Cayce, in a speech in Washington DC, February 3, 1935 "We have many phases of mind. We have the mind of the spirit consciousness, of the physical sub-conscious, or soul. We have the mind of the physical body, through which any or all of these may manifest." - Cayce Reading 900-21 M 29 "These conditions, mind of the soul, mind of the physical body, mind of the spiritual entity, are separated, that one may gain the knowledge of its action." - Cayce Reading 900-21 M 29 "(Q)Explain the law of the line of demarcation between soul and spirit. (A) This is one, yet distinct - even as the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit is one..." - Cayce Reading 5749-3 "...the subconscious mind...never forgets, and is the...mind of the soul...." - Cayce Reading 5756-4 (Q) "Explain what the divide between the soul and spiritual forces is? How manifest, and how we may study self to gain the approach to that divide. (A) This [is] of the spiritual entity in its entirety. The super-conscious [is] the divide, that one-ness lying between the soul and the spirit force, within the spiritual entity. Not of earth forces at all, only awakened with the spiritual indwelling and acquired individually. - Cayce Reading 900-21 M 29 "Immortality is of the Soul..." - Cayce Reading 900-147 M 30 Cayce taught that Mankind's great spiritual struggle revolved around the issue of division : "...the Cayce source was struggling against all kinds of dualism, all efforts to make the split between matter and spirit, between God and creation, between reason and revelation, into cosmic splits rather than conveniences of thought. ...The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung has suggested that most dualisms are rooted in an unhealthy separation of spheres of the psyche, of consciousness and the unconscious, of ego from a deeper Self." - Harmon H. Bro, "Edgar Cayce on Religion and Psychic Experience", p.237. "(Q) What form of consciousness does the entity assume after death? (A) That of the subconscious consciousness, as known in the material plane, or the acts and deeds, and thoughts, done in the body, are ever present before that being. Then consider what a hell digged by some, and what a haven and heaven builded by many." - Cayce Reading 5756-4
