The Cayce readings confirm much that science has proved or theorized about the nature of vibration. In terms of each of the physical senses operating through the use of vibrations, in 1932 Cayce had this to say:
. . . as we find in the physical body that sight, hearing, taste, speech, are but an alteration of vibration attuned to those portions in the consciousness of the physical body, becoming aware of things, of vibration, reaching same from within or from without . . .
281-4
The readings contend that all of creation emanates from one source–spirit–and that one force continues to be integrally connected to the material world and lies at the basis of its movement and vibration:
For, returning to the first principle–as there are those forces that move one within another to bring harmony, as for light or color, or sound, or motion, all of these are but the variation of movement, vibration. What is the First Cause? That from which all emanates, the spirit of the force or influence itself; breaking itself upon the atomic structures about same, bringing those influences as it associates itself one with another in its varied forms of atomic structure.

And:
The basis, then: “Know, O Israel, (Know, O People) the Lord Thy God is One!”
From this premise we would reason, that: In the manifestation of all power, force, motion, vibration, that which impels, that which detracts, is in its essence of one force, one source, in its elemental form.
262-52
In terms of vibration and human emotions and activity, the work of Masaru Emoto suggests that each human being creates a vibration that is unique to that individual. According to Emoto’s findings:
Human beings are also vibrating, and each individual vibrates at a unique frequency. Each one of us has the sensory skills necessary to feel the vibrations of others.
A person experiencing great sadness will emit a sadness frequency, and someone who is always joyful and living life fully will emit a corresponding frequency. A person who loves others will send out a frequency of love, but from a person who acts out evil will come a dark and evil frequency.
Emoto, pg. 41
Along these same lines, the Edgar Cayce readings assert that an individual’s level of consciousness creates a vibration all its own. People also affect one another (both consciously and unconsciously, and positively and negatively) with their personal vibration. On the negative end of the spectrum, someone that is generally angry, depressed, negative, or somehow unbalanced might be described as possessing bad vibes or somehow “draining” to be around. On the positive end of the spectrum, someone who is most often optimistic, inspirational, or genuinely spiritual can come across as an individual who, by her or his very presence, is motivational, nurturing, compassionate, or even a healing presence. In fact, the possibility of possessing such a heightened vibration that it can somehow positively impact and raise the vibrations in another person, facilitating healing in the process, is described in Scripture on numerous occasions.
One such story clearly illustrating the possibility of an individual being healed simply by coming in contact with a being possessing a higher level of consciousness is described in the biblical account of the woman being healed of uninterrupted (menstrual?) bleeding. According to Scripture, she was healed simply because of coming in contact with Jesus and His vibration:
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that is gone out of me.
Luke 8:43-46
In terms of healing and the physical body, the Cayce material suggests that each organ within the physical body possesses an optimum vibration. Furthermore, the readings contend that illness and “dis-ease” often manifest when that physical organ is no longer attuned to that optimum vibration. With this in mind, healing is best facilitated through a variety of measures, all designed to assist the body and its organisms in returning to the proper vibration. Those measures might include a variety of treatments, such as medicine, surgery, physical adjustments, changes in lifestyle or attitude, and even energy work. Regardless of the treatment, however, the goal is primarily to help facilitate the body itself in a return to wholeness and even an awareness of its connection to the one force. In the language of the readings:
For, all healing comes from the one source. And whether there is the application of foods, exercise, medicine, or even the knife–it is to bring the consciousness of the forces within the body that aid in reproducing themselves–the awareness of creative or God forces.
2696-1
Confirming the premise behind Plato’s story of the prisoners bound in the cave, the readings admonish that we are indeed seeing shadows of reality rather than the reality behind those shadows: “. . . all one sees manifest in a material world is but a reflection or a shadow of the real or the spiritual life.” (262-23) Essentially, the shadows we see are simply our perceptions of the material world; the truth behind those shadows, however, has its origins in the spiritual dimension. The spirit is absolutely essential in any discussion of vibrations because, from Cayce’s perspective, the one force that is currently theorized by the Superstring theory would best be described as the Creative, or God, force. Examples of this premise permeate the readings and include the following:
All force is vibration, as all comes from one central vibration and its activity into, out from, and its own creative forces, as given, with that of the divine as manifested in man, is same vibration–taking different form.
900-422
. . . for matter is an expression of spirit in motion . . .
262-78
Electricity or vibration is that same energy, same power, ye call God. Not that God is an electric light or an electric machine, but that vibration that is creative is of that same energy as life itself.
2828-4
As is understood, Life–God–in its essence is Vibration . . .
281-4
The all-pervading presence of vibration has its foundation in the one force of the divine spirit, and all vibration is ultimately that spirit in motion and the variety of ways in which spirit has manifested in the material world. That one force and the vibrations associated with all aspects of the material world continue to affect each and every one of us. With that in mind, this book was written with the hope that it might make a contribution to our collective understanding of the nature of vibrations, how we continue to create and shape those vibrations, how vibrations impact the world around us, how all of life is vibration, and how vibrations are ultimately spirit in motion.
