Bringing Your Life into Alignment–Spiritually

There is the care of the Maker for that created. There is the duty of the created to the Creator. There is the love for the Creator of that created. There is that of the honor due the Creator by that created. The will of the one must become the will of the other, and in that may be found the answer to all questions as disturb; for doth not the Father take care of all? Then why worry? Why be afraid? For “He that is on the Lord’s side, who may be against them?”

WHEN EDGAR Cayce began suggesting to those who sought his help to study their own dreams as a source of guidance and information, I began to record mine. I discovered that symbols frequently occurred in different settings. For example, I noticed that in a number of my dreams a young, disreputable character appeared again and again. He smoked, seemed to be drunk at times, and frequently smiled slyly or winked at me. Gradually, I became afraid of him. In one dream, I met this character at night, leaning against a lamppost on a dimly lit street. As I came near him, he threw a cigarette away and unexpectedly tackled me around the knees. We both fell to the ground and rolled around in filthy water that was running through the curb.

Upon awakening, I wrote down the dream. A few weeks later when I had gone back to look at it, I realized what the dream was trying to say. The dream was actually a warning and seemed to accurately foretell the possibility of my entanglement with a series of personal temptations. I should point out that this character looked very much like an ill-kempt me, and I decided that he was a symbol for my own lower self. Repeatedly, in my dreams, he seemed to get into a variety of difficulties. Finally, I began to pray for him. After I had started to pray, I remember in one dream he complained bitterly that I was taking unfair advantage. Nevertheless, I continued to pray. Afterwards, the frequency of the appearance of this character lessened in my dreams and even my challenges in waking life became easier. Prayer can be used in many different ways. In fact, the Cayce readings affirm the importance of both prayer and meditation as being instrumental in the process of spiritual growth and transformation.

Meditation is different than prayer. Many years ago, about one month after I had begun daily, thirty-minute meditation periods, I had a strange and rather beautiful meditation experience. It was spring, and I was seated looking out a window on the third floor of an oceanfront home. After following the quieting procedures for meditation (which are discussed later in this chapter) a stillness came over me that was extremely intense. All at once an incredible humming started in my head. It made me think of the sound electricity might make as it rushes through electrical wires. Then came the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
