The Edgar Cayce Readings

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
Count thy hardships, thy troubles, even thy disappointments, rather as stepping-stones to know His way better.

Reading 262-83

[kuyabog]

Think on This ...

For mind is the builder and that which we think upon may become crimes or miracles. For thoughts are things and as their currents run through the environs of an entity's experience these become barriers or steppingstones, dependent upon the manner in which these are laid as it were. For as the mental dwells upon these thoughts, so does it give strength, power to things that do not appear. And thus does indeed there become that as is so oft given, that faith is the evidence of things not seen.

Edgar Cayce Reading 906-3

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
Condemn no one, lest ye yourself be condemned. Give that of love, if ye would find love. Show thyself friendly and lovely if ye would have that love bestowed upon thee that brings peace and contentment.

Reading 2293-3

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
With the arising of rebellious forces . . . the body has assumed the attitude: "I will break over this time, and the next time I won't. I will eat this because it pleases me at the present. I will take this, for I don't want to suffer right now, and next time I won't." This has been done until self loses such holds on self as to become in a manner the slave to self's own indulgences, in mental, physical and material things! These conditions, then, require that there be made by self a definite stand to be taken; that is: "If there is given me a definite program to follow I will--I will--I will adhere to it, no matter what I may suffer mentally or physically! I will trust in the divine forces innate . . . within my inner self for the strength to endure, for the ability to say no when I should!"

Think on This...
Then what are you grumbling about because you dislike your mother? She dislikes you as much, but change this into love. Be kind, be gentle, be patient, be longsuffering, for if thy God was not longsuffering with thee, what chance would you have?

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
And each individual has the choice, which no one has the right to supersede--even God does not!

Reading 254-102

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
. . . for in suffering strength is gained, even as the wind bloweth where it listeth--one heareth the sound thereof and knoweth not whither it cometh nor whence it goeth, yet that is as of the thought and intent in the individual characterization of self--that out of those forces comes that same in an individual or entity's being . . .

Reading 5528-1

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
Faults in others are first reflected in self. When such conditions arise in the experience of an entity, there should be first those considerations of that in self that has produced such a reflection, so that the God shining through any activity is lost sight of by self in the fellow man; especially one that is seeking for the spiritual activities in a material plane, and he that would gain the world and lose self's own soul has lost all.

Reading 452-3

[kuyabog]

Think on This...
Do not rail at anyone. Do not hold grudges. Do not hold ANY of those tendencies that have so long made for disturbing conditions in the experience.

Reading 1311-1

[kuyabog]

They who would gain the greater will suffer the more. Those who would attain to a more perfect understanding of the true relationships of an individual to creative forces and using of same constructively, recognize the unfoldment of the mind through the experiences.
