The Sources of Psychic Information
With a spiritual intention, a subject treated in the next chapter, those who believe in their intuition can read someone else’s mind—called telepathy—or preferably, their own soul and the souls of others. Everything has a soul—an energetic template that gives rise to physical forms—from people and animals, to plants, minerals, and stars, as well as “light beings” in dimensions beyond the earth.
Setting a spiritual intention establishes this higher connection and provides access to the Akashic Library, a record “written on the skein of time and space,” (1574-1, et al.) as Cayce described it. The Akashic Record is a symbolic representation of the superconscious, a quantum sea of light that contains every intention, thought, feeling, word, and deed that has ever occurred or ever will.
Kevin J. Todeschi, author of Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records: The Book of Life, describes the Akashic Library as a storehouse of information —an infinite, interactive “database”—that contains the history of every soul and connects us to one another.
Connecting with the soul and the Akasha—meaning “boundless space”—enables us to be guided by the possibilities and potentialities in the Divine Mind to the future that is our highest destiny.
The highest destiny of the soul, as mystics have known since the beginning of time, is to grow in spiritual awareness and serve others. Motivated accordingly, psychic abilities naturally awaken.
The Thousand Names of God
When I joined an Edgar Cayce study group in 1993, I was relieved and encouraged to find in the Search for God texts an energetic concept of God that transcends religious distinctions. Cayce was deeply religious and devoted to the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible and the Christ pattern attained and lived by the man, Jesus. Yet in psychic trance, below everyday awareness, he perceived God as the love and light vibrating in waves of energy through all of reality. His psychic information came out of those waves of light in Universal Consciousness.
Scientists working with the Institute of HeartMath and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, two leading organizations in research on intuition, have unwittingly confirmed Cayce’s view of God in new theories that the source of psychic information is a quantum sea of light in which waves of energy encode and carry information. This quantum energy field is the chi (or qi), pranic life force, and biblical light out of which everything emanates.
Many people have been hurt by their experiences with narrowminded religions and consequently want nothing to do with spirituality. If these are your feelings, then you may wish to think of your soul’s source as your Higher Power, Peace, Love, Essence, Pure Spirit, or one of Edgar Cayce’s names for God: Universal Consciousness, Universal Mind, and the Creative Forces, to name a few.
Whatever you call it, the “Field” out of which everything arises intuitively informs and evolves human consciousness. There is nothing more freeing than the realization that some benevolent force, in the most intimate sense of a companion or friend, informs us from moment to moment so that we are never alone. Feeling connected to something greater inspires us to take an evolutionary step in consciousness toward this Greater Whole.
The word “evolutionary” describes the person who is consciously evolving the mind, body, and spirit for the greater good. Psychics are evolutionaries first, because their rise into universal light assists and evolves others, and second, because this spiritual light transforms them, as well. In a very real way, the energies carried by the psychic back into the physical world lift our dimension and others in service to the divine.
| Mental Imagery Scale | Rating | |
| Perfectly clear and as vivid as the actual experience | 1 | |
| Very clear and comparable in vividness to the actual experience | 2 | |
| Moderately clear and vivid | 3 | |
| Not clear or vivid but recognizable | 4 | |
| Vague and dim | 5 | |
| So vague and dim as to be hardly recognizable | 6 | |
| No image present at all, only know that you’re thinking of the object | 7 | |
This scale has to be matched to: 1) visual imagery; 2) touch, pain, heat, and cold (skin senses); 3) taste and smell; 4) sound; and 5) kinesthesia (sensation of bodily movement). The score can vary, therefore, from 5 × 1 = 5 to 5 × 7 = 35, where the higher the score, the poorer the mental imagery. The ability to think in sensory imagery instead of in words is an absolutely essential first step toward the mastery of higher states of consciousness, self-control of pain, and so forth. –Comments by C.
