Edgar Cayce’s : A Psychic Discourse on the Twenty Two Chapters of The Revelation of St. John the Divine.

It is not without trepidation and a fear to tread where Angels fear to walk to write Edgar Cayce’s interpretation of The Revelation;the Holy and sacred Word of God.

And I read in the second Epistle of Peter: 1:19-21

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts; Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost”.

I hope my brothers and sisters in Christ find Edgar Cayce was moved by the Holy Ghost to write on St. John’s prophecy.

The work is in symbolic form and will need discernment for further understanding.  I think it’s best to write one chapter a day.  I will refer to each chapter named in the Bible 1 – 22.  However, I will not be writing out the chapter from Revelation thus it will be good to read the chapter from the Bible along side Cayce’s interpretation. I do believe Cayce’s book is available in book stores and this is for those you have not come across it.

Also, the writings here are a summary taken from the second part of Cayce’s book.  The first part of the book is Edgar Cayce and the Glad Helpers; the second part to quote is:  In order to make the message at least available, a group of laymen in New York met to see if they could apply the key supplied by the Norfolk work, possibly to bring out an interpretation of the Revelation for general study.   To this task these people have devoted seven year’s faithful research and the following pages are a result of their labor.

The publication I have is Published by A.R.E. Virginia Beach, Virginia and is a 9th printing, January 1991.  I write it as it is with no change and I trust in the Name of God; I may write it here.  Edgar Cayce was a special man and I thank him for his dedication and service.

‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead’. 1 Peter 1:3

Symbology

Seven Churches:  Seven spiritual centers, the endocrine system of the body, but more in a collective sense, named after the 7 churches in Asia Minor.

Seven Spirits:  Seven guiding intelligences or mind cells of each Church or Center.

Seven Stars:  Control of key points of body, all attributes of the Overself.

Alpha and Omega:  The Overself, the superconscious mind of John.
Definition of the Overself- the self-conscious, individualized portion of God, which is the unchanging core of each entity, the superconcious mind.

In the Spirit:  Meditation

Golden Girdle:  Worth

White Hair:  Wisdom

Eyes of Flame:  Perception

Feet as Brass:  Understanding

Two Edged Sword:  Power rising from centers applied either constructively or destructively according to the will.


Interpretation

V4.  John is hereby giving his Revelation as a guide book and a testimony to the seven churches of Asia, of his own experience while in meditation.  These congregations were as despairing refugees, persecuted and some fallen away, who needed to know a way whereby they could bring into activity the forces of regeneration latent within each Individual body.

This was the purpose of the book, John’s opening greeting serves to introduce, perhaps, the concept of the Christ consciousness from within as being the author of the book, who is now one with Jesus, the Man, who became the Christ.  He it was, who first fulfilled the pattern of man’s evolution and then turned to redeem and reclaim the rest of the race.

V8. Alpha and Omega refers to the plan for all evolution, only partly fulfilled at present, which has within it the power to bring about a successful outcome for man in terms of experience in the world.

V9. John now states his position as a fugitive also and in dire straits while living in the isle of Patmos to which he had been banished.

V10.  John explains that he was in meditation on the ‘Lord’s Day’, and what follows takes place within his own body and mind.  This is true of the whole book, containing all the images, symbols, and forces described here.

V11.  The actual physical seven churches of Asia are to be the recipients of the ensuing book, but they will also be used as symbols for the seven glandular centers in the human body, where the physical forces of the body, the mental forces and the spiritual come together.  These are the key spots throughout the body, known as the endocrine system.  

V12.  Through the imagery of the candlesticks, John is shown that within each center is a mind cell, the light of which would symbolize intelligence, which is in charge of the functions of each center.  These in turn are in the control of the superconscious mind with supreme intelligence.

V18.  The Overself, or the superconscious mind explains that it is in perfect control of all physical and mental states and John is urged to describe his findings for the use of others, the relationships of all the parts of his own body to the whole.

The Revelation
Chapter Two

Church: Smyrna
Virtue:   Suffering
Faults:   Insincerity
Seal:      2
Vision:    Black Horse
Spiritual Gland: Lyden
Lord’s Prayer:   Temptation

Symbology

Angel of Ephesus:  Mind cell or intelligence governing gonads.

He with Seven Stars:  Overself or superconscious

First Love:  Spiritual ideal – purpose

Nicolaitans – Cells in this centre (in this case, the gonads) that have degenerated through misuse and lascivious practices.

Tree of Life:  The function of supply, healing and growth, the power of regeneration as manifested through the endocrine system perfectly synchronized.

Paradise of God:  The Original consciousness of man, before he came into matter, and to which he will return.


Interpretation

In verse 1, Chapter 2, the Overself is speaking, pointing out to John the need for a cleansing and purifying of the forces of the gonads.

V2.  The Overself is aware of the efforts of the intelligence found here to regulate and guard itself against destructive activities and pursuits, but says that the original purpose of this centre has been lost.  The mind cell is urged to bring about a return to the original purpose quickly, or lose its intelligence entirely. (This would mean degeneration to the point of animalistic function of this center, instinctual but without intelligence).

V7.  In this verse the Overself gives a clue to the great riddle of the Tree of Life referred to in the Book of Genesis, a riddle of the ages in the western world.  John is told that anyone who can regain control of this centre could bring about within his body and mind, as well as in his worldly circumstances, complete restoration of the law of healing and supply.

Symbology

Angel of Smyrna:  Mind cell or intelligence governing cells of Leydig or Lyden gland.

First and Last:  Overself, or superconscious
Jews:  Cells chosen for special development.

Synagogue of Satan:  Unregenerate cells.

Tribulation 10 days:  Period of purification.

Crown of Life:  Symbol of state of perfect control

Second Death: Regression from partial regeneration, a relapse.

Spirit:  Overself is speaking here.

Interpretation

V8.  The Overself instructs John to see that the ‘intelligence’ in charge of the cells of Leydig or Lyden is reassured, so to speak, for the sense of inadequate creativity in their function, that their possibilities are infinite once the ‘unregenerate’ cells which thwart and limit the activity of this centre, are eliminated through a period of purification.

V10. If the forces of this centre will be faithful to the discipline imposed upon it, complete control will be restored to the ‘intelligence’ in charge.

NB:  the cells of Leydig seem to be the center of what, on the mental level, is called ‘imagination’.  That is to say, the forces at this point.  In a mental sense again, purpose or ideals would be generated here in conjunction with the pituitary.

V11.  The cryptogram here seems to say that the individual who gains control of this center will not be liable to regression from partial regeneration.

Church:  Pergamos
Virtue: Faithful
Faults:  Stumbling block
Seal: 3
Vision: Red Horse
Spiritual gland:  Adrenal Solar-Plexus
Lord’s Prayer:  Debts

Symbology

Angel of Pergamos:  Mind cell or intelligence governing adrenals.

He with sharp sword:  Overself, superconscious.

Antipas:  Martyred bishop, state of loss of control of adrenal functions.

Doctrine of Balaam:  Corruption of cells, chosen for special development, through misuse and lascivious impulses.

Hidden Manna:  The impact of the Spirit upon the endocrine system which releases its secretions into the blood stream, creating energy.

White Stone:  A point of higher development, a new stage of consciousness.

A new name written:  A new sense of identification in the part for its relationship to the whole – ‘responsibility’.

Footnote:  New name is also the means by which the spiritual impact can be repeated at will.

Interpretation

V12.  The Overself now addresses Himself to the mind cell, or ‘intelligence’ of the adrenal centre, through John.  This center is commended for its adherence to its basic purpose even during periods when control of adrenal functions has sometimes been lost.

V13.  The adrenal intelligence is warned, however, against the misuse of its energies owing to the presence of unregenerate cells here implying the need for purification on this level also.

V16.  The two edged sword symbolizes the power rising from the centers, which either blesses or curses, according to the will.  Thus, the Overself promises prompt ‘surgery’ for the cells which resist discipline on this level.

V17.  Now the Overself states that as a result of perfect restoration of self control of the seven centers, the individual can renew and regenerate himself at will as the Master did, by apparently releasing hormones from the adrenal into the blood stream directly, as a result of the impact of the Spirit upon the endocrine system.  Moreover, in the resulting higher state of consciousness, the individual in knowledge of his relationship with the higher forces can effect contact with them at any time.


Church:  Thatira
Virtue: Charity
Fault:  Fornication
Seal: 4
Vision: Pale Horse
Gland: Thymus
Lord’s Prayer:  Evil

Symbology

Angel of Thyatira :  Mind cell or intelligence governing thymus.

Son of God:  Overself, superconscious mind

Jezebel:  Symbol of misdirection of creative forces.

Reins:  Controls

Heart:  Motivation

Satan:  Unregenerate mind

Power over the Nations:  Control of all bodily parts and functions.

Morning Star:  Original state of illumination or intelligence.

Interpretation

The Overself is speaking to the intelligence or mind cell of the thymus center.

V19.  He commends its functions to date even though it is under a condition of limitation and promises that fulfillment will ultimately come about in abundance.

V20,23.  Now he urges purification against the persistence of this center to misuse the divine forces for personal satisfaction.  Time has been given in which to bring this about.  However, if the faults are persisted in, only disintegration and decay can result.  This, in turn, would automatically bring unbalance to the other centers.  The Overself, being in charge, is examining constantly the controls and the motivations of each center.

V24,25.  The mind cell and those cells still free from misuse, however, will not be called on for any additional duties.  These are admonished to retain the ideals of their perfect pattern.

V26.  To the man who remains true to the perfect pattern which is within each one of us, absolute control will be given him over all parts and all functions of the body.

V28.  Such a man would return to his first condition in consciousness complete master of his environment.

V29.  Meditate on these things.

The Revelation
Chapter Three

Church:  Sardis
Virtue: Few not defiled
Faults: Imperfect
Seal:  5
Vision: Souls of perfect slain
Gland: thyroid
Lord’s Prayer: Will

Symbology

Angel of Sardis – Mind cell or intelligence governing thyroid.

He that hath Seven Spirits of God; Seven Stars – Overself or superconscious mind.

Dead – Unaware; Unconscious.

White Raiment – State of purity.

Book of Life – collective unconscious, record of all souls.

Interpretation

The Overself is addressing himself to the mind cell of the thyroid centre, the seat of human will.

V1.  The human will is an academic fact but its true function has been lost.  The center is warned of its condition and is admonished not to let it go any further.  Otherwise, when it is tested suddenly, it will be found imperfect.

V4.  The cells, however, who have adhered to their inner perfect pattern shall continue in perfection.

V5.  The man who overcomes temptation on this level will have perpetual access to the Creative Forces.

V6.  Meditate on these things.

Church: Philadelphia
Virtue:  Open Door
Faults: No Faults
Seal: 6
Vision:  Earthquake
Gland:  Pineal
Lord’s Prayer: Name

Symbology

Angel of Philadelphia – Mind cell or intelligence governing pineal.

He that hath the key of David – Overself, superconscious mind.

Open Door – Opportunity.

Name – Nature.

Synagogue of Satan – unregenerate cells.

Jews – Cells chosen for special development.

Word of my Patience – Discipline, faithful to.

Earth – Physical body.

Pillar in the Temple – An evolved cell or soul in a collective sense.

New Jerusalem – The new consciousness.

Interpretation

V7.  The Overself is addressing the mind cell of the pineal center, the seat of all memory and record.

V8.  The pineal has apparently been true to itself and its purpose in recording all experiences of the individual and bringing them into comparison with the perfect pattern within the Soul.  At this point, all imperfections and error in motivations and functions stand out in bold relief.  Correction and reform must result, since the pineal is under the special custody of the Overself as it were.  (The records are accurate).

V10.  Because of this accuracy, this center is not subject to the instabilities of other centers in the ways of temptations etc.  but automatically records everything good and bad.  The pineal is urged to continue in its faithfulness and when it is subjected to trial it will not lose control.

V11.  The man who has overcome on this level the Overself says, will be in possession of his entire soul record of all his experiences in the earth and in possession of a new consciousness that will make it unnecessary for him to reincarnate any more.  He will now be in complete God-consciousness.

V13.  Meditate on these things.

Church:  Laodicea
Virtue: -
Faults:  Lukewarm
Seal: 7
Vision: Silence
Gland: Pituitary
Lord’s Prayer:  Father

Symbology

Angel of Laodicea – mind cell or intelligence governing pituitary.

The Amen – Overself, superconscious mind.
Gold tried in the fire – Tested values.

White raiment – Purity.

Nakedness – Faults, exposure of.

Eye Salve – Search for truth.

Interpretation

V14.  The Overself is addressing the mind cell of the pituitary center now.  This is the MASTER gland.

V15.  The forces of the pituitary or MASTER gland have bogged down in materiality, so to speak, having become satisfied with limitation and circumscribed consciousness.  The Overself will have no part of such a negative attitude.

V18.  The Overself counsels this center to enrich itself by accepting the wisdom that comes through living, vital experience – to be clothed in the purity that does not reveal any fault or inadequacy – and to gain in perception and awareness.

V19.  This is the advice given to all cells of all centers, that they return to their original purpose.

V20.  The Overself is available to any men who will accept this counsel.  He says, but the individual, it is implied, must open the door.  When this happens, union of the personality and the Overself is possible in the individual, just as Jesus, the universal ‘Christ’ or Pattern was united with the Father-God.

V22.  Meditate on these things.

Full eyes before and behind – Aware of self.

Interpretation

V1.  John is speaking now and he tells us that at this point, a mental awkening occurs.  The Overself offers himself as a guide.

V2.  The Overself shows himself in point of control of the entire body-mind. (The stones and colors symbolizes attributes – like judgment, justice, mercy etc.)  Before the control point of the superconscious mind are the lesser control points of the five senses – the 24 cranial nerves.  Also the intelligences of the seven centers of the endocrine system are shown as lamps.

V6.  The sea of glass before the throne symbolizes the stilled emotions, the condition which will allow the Overself to rule.  The beasts full of eyes before and behind represent the four lower centers full of awareness of self.  The attributes of these are:

1.      Self-gratification : Thymus
2.      Self-preservation : Adrenals
3.      Sustenance: Lyden
4.      Propagation of the species: Gonads

V8.  These are shown to be in a condition of complete harmony with the Overself at which point the five senses relinquish their rulership over the body.

 Interesting read Caryn.  I'm pretty familiar with Edgar Cayce, and that his source talked about how Revelations was mostly symbolic/representational of an inner process of awakening to full Source awareness again (Crown Chakra/Pituitary awakening) as written by John, but a lot of what was in those articles was pretty new to me (and honestly somewhat "Greek" as well, but i definitely appreciate it).  

  Yes, very correct, the 7 churches in Revelations are directly connected to and symbolic of the 7 major endocrine glands, and the more subtle energy centers they were patterned after.    

 There is astrological significance too, in these.  For example the awakened Heart and the Crown Centers, both correspond to the Solar, Arcturian, and Galactic forces.   Just think about our Sun and what it represents, and compare this to the human body.  

 The Sun is the center of our system, being the center, it is much like the Heart of the humany body, being the center of all force, the First cause of this system so to speak, it also represents the fastest vibratory energy in our system, so it is also the Crown as well (really its more so the Galactic Center which corresponds to the Crown [which in turn corresponds to the awakended Pituitary gland], but there is a similar symbolism between these).  

 Thanks for sharing this Caryn, but i would suggest that this is more of an "off topic" type thread perhaps?

  Yet it does deal with the nonphysical since after all, each major Chakra is representive and connected to each major dimenion within the ELS.  1st Chakra corresponds to 1 dimension, 2nd Chakra to 2nd dimension, etc.

Hello AhSoLaoTsuAhhOmmra

I do believe Edgar Cayce's interpretation of The Revelation has every right to be on the main board of AfterLife Knowledge.  However, if Bruce feels it should be off-topic than so be it.

St John 12:36
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.  These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

The Revelation
Chapter Five

Symbology

Him that sat upon the Throne – Overself, Superconscious Mind.

Right Hand – Symbol point of control of spiritual forces in the body.

Book – The body.

Backside of Book – Unconscious side.

Seals – Endocrine centers in normal closed state.

Lion of Tribe of Judah, Root of David, Christ – Consciousness, perfected through experience in matter or the earth.

The Lamb – Same.

Harps – Alignment.

Vials – Acknowledgement.

New Song – New understanding, a perfected relationship.

Kindred tongue people and nation – Ordinary cells of body, all cells.

Kings – Ruling forces of physical cells.

Priests – Control points of spiritualized cells.

10,000 times 10,000 – Cells in whole physical body.

Interpretation

V1.  John is speaking and telling of his experiences in meditation.  The Overself is shown at point of control of the human body – body symbolized as a book.  The book is sealed, that is, the real knowledge of the body is sealed up in the control points of the endocrine system.

V3.  Opening these centers is beyond the ability of the average man.

V5.  John senses that only through the development of Christ consciousness through experience, will enable him to open the centers.  To the Christ conscious man only, is the custody of the entire body entrusted.

V8.  Such development of an individual is attested when the lower centers and the senses acknowledge his control.

V11.  John is informed by the entire aggregate of bodily parts and their forces that this power over the body-mind comes only as a result of the death of the selfish-self or self-will, in the regenerating, Christ-conscious man.
NB. The Lamb is the Symbol of the regenerating man.

Souls of Slain – Latent powers.

Earthquake – Trembling of body.

Stars of Heaven – Mental ideals, present concepts.

Mountain – Material attainment.

Island – Limited ideas.

Kings of the Earth – Controlling intelligence of body.

Interpretation

V1.  John perceives the energies of the gonads as this center is opened by the forces of regeneration within his own body.  The intelligence of the gonads bids him ‘Come and see’.

V2.  When the next center is opened, the forces of the adrenal are released.  This is the main source of physical energy, which is capable of galvanizing the body into action, for constructive or destructive purposes.

V5.  When the regenerating will opens the Lyden center, the warning is given that for every spiritual gift there is a price and a penalty for the mis-use of each gift.

V7.  When the thymus is opened, the ravages of degeneration are shown through loss of consciousness and feelings of guilt as a result of self-gratification of the body.

V9.  The opening of the thyroid center discloses latent powers of the will, which have been immobilized through mis-use, and which will have to wait for the regeneration of the other cells which are in process of being refined.

V12.  The opening of the pineal center is accompanied by bodily trembling and loss of consciousness with the life essence centering only in the sub-conscious, with loss of mental impulses to the physical.

V14.  Old ideals are swept away together with all material attainments and limited concepts.  Even the directing and controlling intelligence of the body bury themselves in matter in an attempt to avoid correction by the forces of the Overself and the regenerating will.

The Revelation
Chapter Seven

Major Divisions of the Physical Body

Those of construction:  bones, muscles, ligaments, skin.

Those that keep alive:  lungs, heart, blood, live.

Those that influence that of the physical, mental, and spiritual:
central nervous system, cerebrospinal, sympathetic nervous system, ductless glands.

Symbology

Four Angels at Four corners of the Earth – Controlling intelligences in charge of four elements of body.
1.      Physical
2.      Emotional
3.      Mental
4.      Spiritual

Angel from East: Beginning of awakening of consciousness.

Seal:  As pattern, having DIVINE APPROVAL.

144,000 Sealed – Selected bodily cells bearing pattern for perfect development, evolution.

12 Tribes – 12 major portions of body.

Temple – Head or the mental.

Interpretation

V1.  John now observes the four controlling intelligences within himself.  These are those which have custody of the four essences that go to make up the a) physical body; b) the emotional natures and all fluids; c) the mentality; d) the soul forces.

(NB. In the BODY, these would be bones, muscles, tendons, skin, having to do with construction.  The organs of vital fluids:  lungs, heart, blood, liver influences and the organs of the mental, physical, and spiritual, such as the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord.  Also the cerebro-spinal system including senses plus sympathetic nervous system and ductless glands).

V3,7. The four intelligences of these four general classifications are instructed to withhold action against these elements until certain principal cells throughout the body are stamped with the perfect pattern of Christ purpose.  The total of these spiritualized cells throughout the body number 144,000.

V9.  Because of the influence of these perfect cells, the whole body, in the sum of all its cells and atoms, will be regenerated and brought into realignment with the ruling force of the developed Christ consciousness.

V13.  John senses that these cells have been purified and regenerated through the abrasion of their experience in matter and can now be relied on for perfect service, without breaking down.

V17.  From now on, also, there will be no breakdown in their contact with the law of supply.

The Revelation
Chapter Eight

Symbology

Seventh Seal – The pituitary

Seven Angels – 7 intelligences of endocrine system.

Trumpets – Impulses or vibrations which actually open centers.

Golden Censor – Pure Heart.

Incense – Good works.  
Note: These are as a result of right activity in the world.

Hail and Fire mixed with Blood – Purification through the sacrifice of ego.

Ships – Concepts deriving from emotional experiences.

Rivers and Fountains – Desires and urges from emotional level.

Worm Wood – Disillusionment with old ideals.

Sun, Moon, and Stars Darkened – Loss of consciousness in all the parts.

Interpretation

(Resumption after pause of opening 6 of the 7 centers)

V1.  Now the Overself opens the pituitary center, as a result of perfect control of the mind for half an hour.  John sees the entire endocrine system being restored to the rightful position of command by the Superconscious, or Overself.  Next, the accumulated experience for good, won by the soul in the earth appears as a force, or intelligence itself.  This mind force infuses the new material with the vitality of regeneration and injects it into the physical structure.  The body reacts spasmodically.

V6.  As a result of the activity of pituitary, the entire endocrine system is recharged.

V7.  When the gonads release their hormones into the blood stream (under these conditions) purification of the organs begins, through the crystallizing of the emotions and a burning out of a portion of the growths and developments of the purely physical.

V8.  Next, the adrenals follow the example of the gonads in turn, removing the conflicts caused by the warring of the spiritual forces against the physical desires, and cleaning out old patterns of energy.

V10.  The lyden in turn, brings about correction of the ideals, which creates disillusionment with former forms and concepts.

V11.  The thymus activity results in partial loss of consciousness.

V13.  More upheavals in the body are promised as a result of the activity of the three upper centers, not yet heard from.

Chapter Nine

Symbology

Fifth Angel – Mind or intelligence of the thyroid.

Bottomless Pit – ‘ID’, subconscious mind, area of repression.

Smoke – Obscurity, confusion.

Locusts – Repressed negative emotions.

Grass – Growth, development.

Five Months – Period.

King of Bottomless Pit – Self will, lust.

Four Angels – Physical emotions, mental-spiritual nature.

Horsemen and Horses – Destroying forces from the ‘ID’.
Euphrates – Beginning, original state.

Fire, Smoke & Brimstone – Process of purification through suffering.

Devils – Concepts, ideas that became Frankensteins.

Idols – False ideals.

Murders – Condemnation, slander.

Sorceries – Manipulation for selfish gains.

Fornications – Misapplication of spiritual power.

Thefts – Self deception.

Interpretation

V1.  The thyroid releases its hormone into the blood stream.  Now the control of the ‘ID’ or area of repression, is given over to the will, which deliberately releases the contents.

V2.  Consciousness is dimmed by the confusion brought about by the released negative repressions.  Old regrets and guilt feelings are activated.  Yet, these do not injure the natural growths or developments, but strike at those cells which carry no pattern or program, of development in them.  However ‘painful’, this does not kill them.

V7.  The descriptions of the repressed thought-forms indicate malformation and a hybrid nature, yet they carry force, in the power of their guilt feelings.  These are the creatures resulting from self-will, or lusts in the body.

V12.  (Three mental centers are being activated here.  Only the action of one has so far been given).

V13.  The pineal now activates the latent energies retained in the 4 original elements of John’s make-up, for changes in the physical, the emotional, the mental and the spiritual to be made through the practice of what he has learned.

V18.  A third of the cells are purged yet those that are unaffected continue to manufacture false concepts, create Frankensteins and materiality, and go on misapplying the divine God-Force.

Interpretation

V1.  The Overself is shown now in complete control of the body with all the endocrine centers open.  He is shown master of the entire emotional and physical nature at this point.

V3.  He demonstrates his command over the seven centers.

V4.  John is forbidden to record the knowledge revealed in this demonstration, since he is not yet ready for a complete understanding of his divine nature.

V6.  Time shall be no more – 4th dimensional consciousness?

V8.  John is now urged to take over the body from the control and custody of the Overself.

V9.  The Overself, or Superconscious, tells him that mere knowledge of his divine-physical nature may be sweet to contemplate, but it is digested and made part of him only through the bitter experiences in the world through personal application.

V10.  John then found this out through his own experience.

V11.  He is now told that he must apply that which he has learned to all peoples, in all conditions.

V1.  The Overself instructs John to evaluate man’s mind at the point of union between the human and the Divine.  The physical intellect, however, is given over to conditions of limitation, which for a time will crush to earth the innate ideals.  During this period, all results of these conditions are recorded and judged by the function of the sub-conscious and superconscious minds, bringing about cycles of natural retribution.

V6.  The subconscious and superconscious are the vehicles of the law of healing and supply and when their forces are wasted by the activities of lust and self will, their original function is lost for a time.

V8.  However, they are latent, not completely lost.

V10.  The body now freed from these restricting factors now gives itself over to complete indulgence.

V11.  When these latent functions are reawakened, however, great changes in the body follow.

V14.  John’s experience in regeneration has been completed, the pattern of Collective man’s experience with the law of healing and supply has been laid out and now comes the redemption of the whole race as it acknowledges God as the source of all supply and healing, through a purging of the senses and universal enlightment.

Interpretation

(NB.  John is now given a picture of the soul of Man in its development since the beginning in a historical sense – showing the relationship of the conscious mind to the sub-conscious, and which came first).

V1.  ‘The great wonder’ is symbolic of the human soul, fully illumined and in control of consciousness, crowned with the twelve basic patterns of Man.  Her child is the active principle of mind, the ‘conscious mind’, as we call it.  None of this is as yet come into materiality.

V3.  Simultaneously, a parallel activity takes place.  With the coming of the conscious mind, the rival force of Self Will occurs, which brings about recurring periods of rebellion in Man.

V5.  however, through Divine intervention, the conscious mind is taken into ‘protective custody’ while the unconscious mind from which it has sprung, is withdrawn below the conscious level, where it continues to be supplied for a period.  (See Genesis 1,2,3 – ‘Fall of Man’)

V9.  The forces of rebellion are removed from the levels of mentality and now have their place in the body.

V10,11  It is now the duty of the human mind to control the rebellious urges coming from the physical as a result of experience in the world.

V13.  Rebellion from the physical next brings conflict into the soul (persecution) but the soul can remain above it by remaining concealed from the forces of Self-Will.

V15.  The emotions coming as a result of the struggles between the soul and self-will are absorbed by the body, but there remains ever the danger of continued attacks upon all established ideals.

Patience and Faith of Saints – Experience in world.

Another Beast – Mind on conscious level with power of choice between good and evil.

Mark of Beast – 666

Number of Man – 666; the natural man as opposed to the evolved man.

Interpretation

V1.  From a point of detached observation, John now perceives how forces for the expression of selfish desires arise through the emotions which are capable of ruling man.  Attributes of these forces are treachery, error, and boastfulness.  The power springs from the Self Will of the unspiritualized intellect of Man.
V3.  Because of ability of this force to bring about certain miraculous transformation, the world worships the intellect as a ‘symbol of success’.

V5.  During the period of its apparent unobstructed license to indulge itself, the human intellect, lacking spiritual orientation, cuts itself off from all that is Divine.

V7.  Yet, so great is its influence that it begins to take control of all those in the world who have no particular belief in a higher power, who don’t actually know in what they truly believe.

V10.  however, those who have overcome through experience in the world know that whatever appears to be happening, the law of Cause and Effect goes on perpetually and inexorably.

V11.  The unspiritualized mentality is shown as a deceiving intelligence which persuades mankind to embrace false values of what is wonderful and miraculous in the world, to set up discriminations against those who retain their spiritual values.

V16.  Thus all are forced to bind themselves to the institutions of the world and its systems.

V18.  The intellect can be either the instrument of man’s salvation or his degeneration.

Interpretation

V1.  John now observes, within the collective mind of man, the higher forces going into action.  As the forces of Christ Consciousness in the world are maintained through the 144,000 perfect souls in the world, new experiences come about, not only in the presence of the Universal Forces, but also in that of the lower natures and the senses.  However, the new experience that comes to each soul of the immanence of God as the source of all supply is limited to those who have exercised self-control throughout.

V6.  Worship of God is urged and recommended.

V8.  As the teachers in the world seek to have mankind glorify God, it is shown at a point that the pattern for earthly riches and success in the gratification of the senses is breaking up as the forces for balance in the world bring men into contact with the consequences of their prostitution of their higher faculties and talents.

V12.  Yet, as even these realize their mistakes and seek to change, realizing that only the body is bound, these find redemption too.

V14.  As the Overself of the collective unconscious judges the world, each soul reaps according to what he has sown, and the experience each has had in the world is now refined and ennobled to be made acceptable in the light of the Christ Pattern, by bringing these under control also during the period of trial.

Smoke – From the GLORY OF GOD – Ability to forget.

Interpretation

V1.  John perceives now within the soul of Man, or that known as the collective unconscious, the souls of individual men are purified and tested on seven levels of consciousness (as he has already found in his own experience).

V2.  The 144,000 perfect souls by reason of their own integrated state of emotional and spiritual natures, remain stable in the face of any eventuality because they bear within themselves the stamp of Law – that is to say, Divine Law, or purpose.

V5.  John perceives that all men encounter the condition sooner or later, where the experience of the four lower centers, the mentality of same that is, come against the perfect patterns for those centers.

(NB.  This might be described as the activation of conscience – since the discrepancies between the perfect pattern and the actual experience are now shown up in bold relief).

V8.  The final steps of the individual for perfect service takes place within the mind as all guilt feelings, which result from these seven-fold tests, arise to cloud the mind for this period.  When all seven levels have been purified, then and only then can a man achieve mastery of himself.

Interpretation

V1.  Instructions are now issued for the purification of the gonads, which John witnesses.  Physical diseases follow as a result of the misuse of the sex forces, in opposition to the pattern of perfection carried with them.

V3.  The misuse of the forces of the adrenals result in sapped energies and the misuse of the forces of leydig bring about a shutting off of the powers of natural healing and supply.

V5.  This has always been sensed by man through his emotional and mental-spiritual nature as the law governing each.  (In other words, ‘this has always been generally known’).

V8.  Misapplied love, as on the thymus level, reacts as a consuming force upon the individual.  (Love must go out, not in).

V10.  Also, misuse of the thyroid forces bring about the penalties of self-will. (Stubborness, bull-headedness etc.)

V12.  When the Stream of Memory is dried up, on the pineal level in its turn (cosmic memory on conscious level) new beginnings are possible for the physical, the emotions, and the mental.

V13.  Propaganda (distortions) stemming from wrong emotional, mental and physical action, become ranged in time against universal truth.  This brings about conflict in the world between groups and government.

V17.  Completion of the seven ordeals comes when man’s institutions and structures (financial, educational etc) collapse, concepts and achievements are swept away, because universal truth is fixed, or crystallized.

Interpretation

V1.  John is to be shown the fate of Man’s own lusts, his concepts of what would be pleasurable and satisfying in the world, as experienced through the emotions in all peoples.

V2.  The controlling intelligences of the body as well as the senses have been brought low by misapplication of the spiritual forces through lust.

V3.  In the depths of the collective ‘ID’ so to speak, John is shown the archetype of lust and the emotional forces of rebellion that feed it and keep it alive.

V6.  These emotional forces are drawn from the energies of the mind centers within all parts of Man’s body, thus depriving or limiting the normal supply for bodily parts.

V7.  It is explained to John that the influences from the ‘ID’ as shown in the beast, have taken control of the seven centers of Man’s endocrine system and through this, man is possessed and ruled.

V10.  As a result, seven successive cultural cycles are rotated throughout history through the actions of collective man, each one embodying the strengths and weakness contained in the pattern of each center.  (As within, so without).  These are the urges that keep peace from the earth – basic urges of man – which result.

V14.  However, as the highest forces of evolving man overcome the forces of self, even the ten basic urges will, in time, fulfill the Divine patern.

V18.  The archetype of destructive intelligence which rules man through the senses, is man-made.

V3.  All people and all human institutions have been deluded and weakened through following a course of self-gratification.

V4.  The divine nature in Man is withdrawn from the archetype which is abandoned to its own destruction.

V9.  The senses will record a sense of loss of the stimulations and excitements of the archetype for selfish expression, but by implication, adjustment to the new condition is called for.

V24.  The energies drawn from useful bodily, mental and spiritual functions in man are shown to have been the nourishment upon which this pattern of Man’s collective selfishness has fed.

(NB:  In chapter 11, what was the final salvation of the bodily, mental, spiritual forces in John as an individual, now are shown to take place in collective man).

V1.  When Man instinctively recognizes the Divinity within him as the controlling force in the world, and turns away from his own selfish pattern of living for self alone, the pattern disappears and the senses together with the four lower centers are re-aligned with the Creative Forces.

(NB.  The Intelligence who takes over John’s instruction now is the Overself of collective Man, the Pattern for Mankind).

V7.  This instructor points out that the merging of the evolved self with the Overself which has taken place with him (John) must also take place in all men.

V10.  John seeks to worship his instructor, but is warned against it, having a mission to perform as John as.  He is told to worship God (the unformed) for the stamp of the Christ pattern is in the constant application of Divine truth.

V11.  The fulfilled pattern of evolved Man, the Christ, is shown now in a position of stability, power and judgment.  All rulership of divine and wordly forces are turned over to Him.  He is in control of the law of cause and effect – karma.  He is able to feed his mind on all that is best in earth experience and draw sustenance from it, but to reject the former lusts and errors.  (Individualized Man has merged with collective self).

Interpretation

V1.  Now the archetype of Man’s continual rebellions, the self-willed intellect, itself is confined for a time in the collective ID.

V4  During this thousand year period only the evolved souls incarnate in the earth. (With these souls all in perfect balance they would bring balance into the very forces of earth itself, perfect peace and harmony to Nature itself).

V5.  At the close of the thousand year period, the remaining souls begin to incarnate, bringing with them their unsatisfied ambitions and desires.  This, of course, brings about the former condition of imbalance. (Wars – plagues).

V9,10.  Now the evolved souls are surrounded and their activities curtailed by the unregenerate souls, who only succeed in destroying their physical selves through tampering with natural forces.  Once again they must await reincarnation.

V11.  Here John beholds the universal point of Divine emanation as the point of Judgment which is unbiased by material ideals or considerations.

V12.  Before this judgment, not only are the individual soul records scanned but also the record for Collective Man, Akasha.

V13.  Those souls entrapped by uncontrolled emotions, as well as those trapped by their own frustrations and remorse are now freed.

V14.  These conditions, all man-made, are now themselves eliminated and all creatures, mental forms and patterns, not formed by Divine Will are purged.

V3.  It is explained that the Divine touches Man at the level of the superconscious in indissoluble union with Man. (In a collective sense, as well as individual).

V4.  In the new state, an end is brought to the ‘abrasion’ of natural experience in the world.  The formed conditions have passed.

V5.  The Collective Superconscious calls attention to his powers for regeneration and bids John record the fact.  The Superconscious is custodian of all Supply, and when an individual establishes self control, supply control will be restored to him.
