“Know that not only God is God, but self is a part of that Oneness.”
Edgar Cayce's understanding of the soul and spirit comes from the great Cayce scholar, John Van Auken. Van Auken is a former director of the Association of Research and Enlightenment, the Edgar Cayce research foundation. He is editor of Living in the Light and author of books, audio tapes, and videos. He’s an expert in Egyptian, Hebrew, and Christian mysticism, and is a skillful teacher of meditation – from kundalini to his unique “passage in consciousness.” He practices the techniques he teaches and has become a popular speaker, leading retreats, workshops, and tours, and writes regularly as a columnist. He is also the author of several books: The Lost Hall of Records, Past Lives and Present Relationships, The End Times: Prophecies of Coming Changes, Ancient Egyptian Mysticism, Edgar Cayce on the Revelation, Spiritual Breakthrough, and Reincarnation: Born Again and Again.

Cayce sees soul as the developing portion of our whole nature. It is ever changing, growing, and learning, and uses free will to explore, create, test, discover, and more. Soul is the ultimate companion to the Creator; a true companion, because it has the free will to choose to be a companion or not. The soul is also uniquely able to bridge the gulf between the spirit realms and the physical realms, between our divine, godly self and our earthly self. The mind of the soul is the subconscious. It may operate independently of the Collective Consciousness of the Creator. (At least, it is allowed to think it does. After all, there is no way to actually be outside of the Whole.) Or, it may act in harmony and conscious at-one-ment with the Collective Consciousness.
