According to the Edgar Cayce readings, the soul is a divine, eternal aspect of each person that exists as a unique expression of God.
Cayce described the soul as a spiritual essence—not confined to the physical body—and its true nature is aligned with God-consciousness, love, and purpose.
Key Concepts from Cayce’s Readings on the Soul:
The Soul is Eternal and Evolving:
Cayce said the soul is created by God and exists before birth and after death.
The purpose of the soul is to grow through experiences, especially in the material world, to become fully conscious of its divine nature.
The Soul as a Spark of the Divine:
The soul is often described as a "spark" of the Creator—an individualized aspect of God.
It retains free will and is given the opportunity to choose and learn.
Energy or Light?
Cayce referred to the soul in terms of light, vibration, and energy, but not in a purely physical or scientific sense.
He emphasized that "God is Light", and since the soul is made in the image of God, it also has a light-like quality.
He often mentioned that the soul’s essence is vibratory, resonating with spiritual planes of existence.
Soul vs. Spirit:
Cayce made a distinction between spirit and soul.
Spirit is the unchanging, eternal force—the life force from God.
Soul is the individualized experience of that spirit—changing, growing, and learning.
Purpose of the Soul:
The soul's purpose is to learn lessons of love, cooperation, and service, ultimately returning to a full unity with God, having grown through experience and choice.
Summary:
According to Edgar Cayce:
The soul is a divine, evolving consciousness, a unique part of God.
It is often described in terms of light and energy, but as spiritual light, not electromagnetic energy.
The soul uses the body and mind but is not limited to them.
Its ultimate goal is to fully express God’s love and return to oneness with the Creator.
THE SOUL AS LIGHT, VIBRATION AND ENERGY
When Cayce referred to the soul in terms of light, vibration, and energy, he wasn't describing it through the lens of physics, but through spiritual metaphysics — symbolic language that points to the soul’s divine nature and its connection to higher realms.
Here's what that means in Cayce’s context:
Light
Cayce often said "God is Light", drawing from both biblical and mystical traditions. When he spoke of the soul as being of light, he meant:
The soul emanates from the Source (God), just as light comes from the sun.
Light represents awareness, truth, and divine essence.
Souls that evolve spiritually become “beings of light”—radiating love, compassion, and spiritual clarity.
The soul is that which is of God. It is the light that shines in darkness and the darkness comprehends it not.
Vibration
Cayce often used the term “vibration” to describe the foundational quality of all things — physical, mental, and spiritual.
The soul exists at higher vibrational frequencies than physical matter.
As a soul evolves spiritually, its vibration is elevated.
Healing and transformation often come by raising one's vibration (through prayer, meditation, love, service).
All is vibration... and in the vibrations of spiritual forces the soul finds its home.
Energy
Cayce didn’t mean “energy” in a measurable scientific way, but as life force or spiritual dynamism:
The soul is animated by divine energy, sometimes referred to as the Creative Forces.
This energy sustains the soul through lifetimes and spiritual dimensions.
He emphasized this energy could be directed through will, intention, and spiritual alignment.
Term - Cayce's Spiritual Interpretation
Light - Divine essence, truth, spiritual awareness
Vibration - The soul's frequency; elevated through growth, love, and service
Energy - Life force from God, creative potential of the soul
These terms—light, vibration, and energy—were Cayce’s way of bridging spiritual realities with language accessible to the human mind, pointing us toward our non-material, eternal identity.
The soul is a combination of light, energy, and vibration, but understood in a spiritual, not physical sense.
The Soul is Light
The soul originates from God, whom Cayce often described as pure Light.
Therefore, the soul carries within it that divine light, symbolic of:
Truth
Consciousness
Eternal awareness
This “light” is not electromagnetic radiation, but a spiritual luminosity — often seen in near-death or mystical experiences.
The Soul is Energy
Cayce said the soul is animated by the Creative Force (God’s energy).
This isn’t measurable like electricity, but is the vital, divine life force that:
Moves the soul across lifetimes
Powers spiritual growth
Flows through love, intention, and service
The Soul is Vibration
Everything in the universe is made of vibrations — including the soul.
The soul’s vibratory level reflects its spiritual development.
Higher vibration = more attuned to love, compassion, unity
Lower vibration = more material-bound or self-centered
Cayce said souls evolve by raising their vibration through choices, experiences, and spiritual practices.
So in short:
The soul is a living essence of divine light, animated by spiritual energy, and operating on a vibrational frequency that reflects its growth and connection to God.
This is not metaphorical only — Cayce meant that these are the real, eternal properties of the soul. They just can’t be fully captured by science because they operate on a spiritual dimension beyond the physical senses.
How to Experience Your Soul: Light, Energy & Vibration
Cayce strongly emphasized that each person can directly experience the light, energy, and vibration of their soul through practices that align the body, mind, and spirit. Here's a structured guide, inspired by his teachings, to help you experience your soul's essence:
1. Set a Clear Intention
Before any inner work, Cayce emphasized aligning with a spiritual ideal — a word or virtue that reflects your soul’s purpose (like Love, Oneness, Peace, Christ, or Truth).
Let your ideal be the guide, the light, the pattern.
Practice:
Choose a soul-centered word or phrase. Write it down. Say it silently:
“I open to the light and vibration of my soul through the ideal of [your word].”
2. Enter Stillness – Meditation or Prayer
Cayce recommended deep stillness to attune to the soul's vibration.
Steps:
Sit upright, feet grounded or cross-legged.
Close your eyes. Breathe slowly and deeply.
Place your attention gently on your heart center (chakra area), or between the eyebrows (third eye).
Visualize light surrounding and filling you — see it growing brighter, flowing through you.
In meditation the soul meets the Creator.
Let your thoughts settle. Don’t fight the mind — gently return to breath or light. With time, you may begin to feel:
A gentle radiance
A sense of expansion
Subtle vibrations or flowing energy
A feeling of being more than the body
3. Raise Your Vibration
The soul’s vibration is felt more clearly when we are in a state of harmony and purity.
Do daily:
Forgive someone (or yourself)
Speak kindly
Express gratitude
Serve someone without expecting return
Listen to uplifting music or nature sounds
The soul grows through the expression of the fruits of the Spirit: patience, kindness, love, joy.
4. Dream Work – Soul Messages
Cayce taught that the soul speaks through dreams, and often reveals its vibration and light there.
Try:
Keep a dream journal by your bed.
Before sleep, say:
“Let my soul reveal its light and purpose to me tonight.”
Record even fragments upon waking.
Look for symbols of:
Light, flight, mountains, stars, water, ancient places
Encounters with wise guides or deceased loved ones
5. Use the Name of the Divine
Cayce suggested invoking a holy name or sound can “tune” your vibration to the soul’s frequency.
Try repeating silently:
“God is Light”
“Peace, be still”
“I Am That I Am”
Or your chosen name for the Divine
Let the vibration of those words settle into you.
Final Thought from Cayce
The soul is aware — even when the conscious mind sleeps. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it shall be opened.
