Many years ago, i read and meditated a lot on Cayce's work. One of the reasons why i became focused on this material, was because i was led to it after praying to be helped with a physical dis-ease that was very uncomfortable. This information helped me to deal it and re-balance the body from a focus on diet, attitude, exercise, spiritual attunement, herbs, etc--basically a very holistic process and understanding.
Another reason why i focused on it, was because out of all the psychic works i ever looked at, i've never found one so vast and with as much verification involved. Whatever Cayce's personal lacks and Uranian extremism, his work is very much in a league of it's own--not to say it's free of error, inaccuracy, or distortion. I don't think it's possible for a material based source to be so. He/She and resurrected Yeshua may be, but while these use what seems to be a human form, it's not quite the body experience that we have.
For a little while i was over attached to this work, and came as close as i ever had to becoming involved in a belief system.
Anyways, one of the things i came away with from having read many of the "Life Readings" was the relativity of advice to individuals and on the various levels physically, mentally, and spiritually. What was constructive for one, might not be for another, and it all depended on who they were and their past. Conversely, what was non constructive for one individual, might not be so for another individual.
There were certain Universal things and patterns that related to spiritual truths or material trends. Of course things like kindness, compassion, the law of Like attracts and begets Like, healthy food, exercise, etc, and above all Love was focused on time and time again, but as far as material activities and personality types, there was quite a wide range.
I've noticed for myself, at times, having a strong dose of Fixed sign patterns in my chart, that i've tended at times to get caught up in overly fixed patterns of mind and thought. For example, a certain conception of what it is to be "spiritual" and to live spiritually. For awhile, i had this picture in my mind of someone who only ever thought nice and positive thoughts and who only ever said nice and positive things to others, among other things.
I also had for a long while, a tendency towards Uranian extremes. This would manifest in certain ways and certain activities.
As i've grown in Love and reached a certain degree of consistency and balance (not always there) in a more consistent sense, i've realized certain things.
Looking at Yeshua's life and example helped with this. Here was the pinnacle of attunement to Love, the very zenith that a human can reach, and yet look at the wide spectrum of interaction and activities. He truly could be all things to all people, while being authentically and sincerely himself.
I don't think Yeshua was overly concerned with being a spiritual person. My sense is that he had very high ideals, tried to live by them, and was led more by inner guidance, intuition, and Love than anything else, which led to a great spontaneity and flexibility in expression at times. At times he was quiet and passive, other times gentle or indirect, at other times implacable and non moving, and yet other times fiery, passionate, and/or verbose.
Another point not quite related to the above, but worthwhile to point out perhaps. Generally speaking, we can only grow so much in a particular life. Because we lack the larger overview of our Disk and it's total history, or our own specific other lives (if we are a repeater currently), i think we sometimes forget that this is a very broad process that spans much time and many, many experiences.
For most, most of the time, we more or less come in with our past development, and make little tweaks here and there to reach a better balance, a little more consistent attunement to Love, etc, basically what we call spiritual growth/development or increasing quality of consciousness.
It's really more so "refinement" rather than great growth, though occasionally, some selves and lifetimes do break through to the next level so to speak. Conversely, some lives can involve a regressing pattern.
So while it's helpful to focus on spiritual growth in this life, enlightenment and perfection probably shouldn't be on the radar goal.
Perhaps only if inner guidance has clearly and repeatedly directed self in this direction. Even then, as recently talked about, it might be helpful and pragmatic to realize that as long as your consciousness is connected to and expressing through a human body in this dense dimension, there is only so much than can be reached and expressed.
One of my long time illusions was the idea of completion or enlightenment while in the body.
I figured if Yeshua could do it, so couldn't we. But i missed that little part about his body dying, and him re-creating a physical form in the likeness of his body. It was a direct insertion/translation from pure Spirit to matter.
According to Cayce's guidance, Yeshua's Disk had done this in the past a number of times, but eventually decided on becoming fully enmeshed in the human process as to be a wayshower.
Melchizedek, Amilius, and some others were examples of times when this Disk/Spirit directly created a human like form out of thought to interact in a way that he could be perceived by us.
Now, if a consciousness does that, it won't have the same limitations as having gone through the whole process of being born of a woman and all that goes along with that process. It won't have all the carnal urges, the easy to imbalance nature, etc of a true human physical body.*
I believe conscious understanding and perception of these processes and laws, can indirectly help one's growth. Not directly though, and knowledge not lived is counted to us as greater error than that done, or not done, in ignorance. The more aware you are, the more responsibility you have. But that which we remain unconscious to, especially if it relates to a limiting aspect of self, is mighty hard to transform.
Most direct spiritual growth or retrogression happens in relation to our choice and interactions with others. To a lesser extent relates to our choices in relation to self and how we treat the holistic self (including the body or the Temple as he sometimes called it for a reason).
