Think On These Things
Edgar Cayce had a lot to say about attitudes and emotions — in fact, he believed they were central to both physical health and spiritual development. His readings often emphasized that "mind is the builder" — meaning that our thoughts, attitudes, and emotions actively shape our reality, including our bodies, relationships, and even our destiny.
Here are some key points from his teachings on attitudes and emotions:
🌱 Attitude as the Seed of Experience
Cayce often said that attitude is everything. The basic idea is that our mental and emotional state becomes the lens through which we create and interpret our lives. A loving, forgiving attitude leads to healing and growth, while fear, resentment, and bitterness can literally make us sick.
“For the body is the temple of the living God — and must be kept clean. Clean in thought, clean in the activity, clean in the purpose.” (Cayce Reading 281-57)
😠 Negative Emotions = Toxic to the Body
He believed that emotions like anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, and guilt create imbalances in the body and can even lead to disease. He described how long-held negative feelings could affect organs and systems, especially the glandular system and the nervous system.
💖 Healing through Forgiveness and Love
He consistently emphasized forgiveness as one of the most powerful healing forces. Holding onto resentment or judgment not only separated us from others but from our own divine nature. He encouraged cultivating compassion, empathy, and unselfish love — not as abstract virtues, but as daily attitudes that bring spiritual and physical healing.
🧘♂️ The Power of Ideals
Cayce taught that everyone should choose a personal ideal, like “love,” “Christ,” “service,” or “peace.” This ideal becomes a sort of spiritual compass that helps align your attitudes, emotions, and actions. When your life is oriented around an ideal, your emotions tend to stabilize, and your deeper purpose becomes clearer.
⚖️ Balance: Head, Heart, and Body
Cayce stressed the need for balance between:
The intellect (mind)
The emotions (heart)
The physical (body)
If any one of these is out of sync, it affects the whole being. For instance, intellectual understanding without compassion becomes cold, and emotional sensitivity without grounding leads to instability. The goal was always wholeness.
🧠 “Mind is the Builder”
This phrase comes up in hundreds of readings. Cayce believed that the mind was the intermediary between spirit and body — it could either raise the vibrations (through hope, gratitude, kindness) or lower them (through fear, bitterness, self-pity). Your mind builds your reality — moment by moment.
