There is a River

The stream of thought flows through the ocean of consciousness.

Like a rock in a stream, or a boat in a lake, thought affects the pattern of consciousness in its wake.

That pattern of consciousness is your environment. You experience the wake of your mindset as it interacts with the collective consciousness. That is why it is said we live in the past. Your thoughts are the cause and your environment is the effect.

Now, see how important it is to master your thoughts. Your thoughts are the fruits of your consciousness. Your mind is nurtured, like a garden, with knowledge, education, emotion, experience.  It is strengthened or weakened by these choices you make. What will you read? What kind of work will you do? Do you serve humanity? Are you honest in your activities and relationships? Do you control emotions? Do you control anger? Have you mastered it? Are you afraid of love, empathy?

Your mind is capable of so much more than you think. It is a transmitter and a receiver. It is your connection to the cosmic consciousness of which you are a member.

Strengthen your mind with meditation, positive thought and action and emotional control. The stronger your mind becomes, the greater your influence on your immediate environment. This is done both in the causal world through words and actions, and in the enormous field of consciousness, through thoughts emitted by you. You are the center of your experience, and both realities respond cohesively to you.

The consciousness of the famed Edgar Cayce channeled information from the collective consciousness. Cayce's mind was highly attuned to consciousness. He developed his sensitivity through his devotion to his religious reading. Constant study of inspired spiritual works can stimulate the parts of our consciousness that has been asleep for lifetimes. These stories are planted for you to read so that they may awaken and stimulate your consciousness and spirit. They are written and enacted by the higher lights and delivered to us. It makes no difference whether you think of the stories as symbolic or literal. The analysis of the greatest positive effect from each religious work, on the level of consciousness, can be found in Power Vs Force by David Hawkins. The story of Edgar Cayce is written in the book There is a River. The story of my rebirth, and memories of my time in the Light Heavens is in my book: The Light Heavens. What I remember is both literal and highly symbolic. The higher lights have chosen to open this door to you, to trigger your own memories. All you have to do is enter.
