According to the Cayce readings, when some of us spirits were in the process of getting enmeshed in the Earthly dimension we interfered with the structure of physical things by the use of our creative ability.

            The result of this was, for example, trees with arms and anatomically mixed animal forms some of which included aberrations of the then human form which we had created for our use on Earth.

            The Cayce readings further stated that in Atlantian times scientists had developed methods of surgically correcting such aberrations which, by then, had become inherent in humans, and were applying them as a matter of course in special institutions.

            It does not take much to equate the motivation behind the initial interference with that of scientists of modern times in their work in genetic engineering, stem cell use and the like. Similarly it does not take much to equate the results in the past with possible results in the future.

When in life the sun appears not to shine on you, remember that above the clouds it shines day and night.

There is love, the emotion, and there is that which is commonly termed love but which is actually an expression of selflessness manifesting as what appears to be love. Emotional love has degrees of self, ranging from extreme selfishness to human selflessness whilst what is commonly termed love, but is not love as such, is a spiritual state of being whose qualities manifest in instances of selflessness, devoid of emotion, that manifest despite the presence of the moul. Of course, with full enlightenment the spirit has divested itself of emotional love, and the moul, leaving only the state of being.

“When the time is right the teacher arrives” is the saying but the “teacher” is information, and this information “arrives” by divers means; means such a book, a person, hearing, sight, neoption and so on, but we should not honour the means because to honour the means is to risk focusing on the means instead of the objective. For instance we can focus on the book, or the words in the book, and thus lose our focus on the purpose of the words or book; we can focus on the person and lose focus on the information that person provides. So, take the true teacher, the information, and make it your objective, your state of being, provided that you have subjected it to critical analysis and/or you instinctively recognise it as Truth.

Hope can be a positive state of mind, when it is maintained as a general attitude to life; or a grasping at straws, when it is aimed at a specific want or perceived need.

The former results in a degree of peace of mind and the latter in doubt and possibly disappointment.

The Buddha is quoted as saying, “Hope causes pain.” This is quite true in the context of mental pain and highlights the wisdom of acquiring the ability to live in the now – and have use for hope.

In the final analysis all our paths are parallel, and like all parallel lines they merge on the horizon.

If aspects of your life are more important than people and all living things you have made unwise priority choices along the Way. Examine your ways very carefully and ask your self, “Quo vadis?”

Quo Vadis means, literally, 'Where' 'Go'?
