(Q) Should the Christ-Consciousness be described as the awareness within each soul, imprinted in pattern on the mind and waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with God?
(A) Correct. That's the idea exactly!

...it is ever those that draw nearer to the universal consciousness of the Christ that come closer to the perfect relationship to the Creative Forces or God, the Father - which the man Jesus attained when He gave of Himself to the world, that through Him, by and in Him, each entity might come to know the true relationship with the Father.

For, all men (and He was a man) have fallen short of the glory of God. Only in Him, through Him, by Him may one attain to that true sonship, that true fellowship, that true relationship to the Creative Forces or God.

Edgar Cayce often spoke of Christ consciousness as something far larger than a belief system or a religious title. In his readings, it is described as a built-in spiritual pattern placed within every soul at the moment of its creation. You could think of it as a divine blueprint, a spark of God’s own nature that each person carries.
This “imprint” isn’t something external that we must earn—it is something already present, but often dormant or forgotten. It represents qualities such as unconditional love, patience, forgiveness, compassion, unity, and complete alignment with the will of God. In Cayce’s view, these qualities are not just virtues; they are the natural expression of a soul awakened to its true identity.
Where Jesus comes in is as the perfect example of this awakened state. Cayce emphasizes that Jesus didn’t just teach the way—He lived it fully, embodying what it looks like when Christ consciousness is active in a human life. Jesus becomes the model, the roadmap, and the demonstration of the divine pattern already within us.
According to Cayce, Jesus’ teachings—such as loving your neighbor, forgiving freely, seeking inner peace, serving others, resisting selfish impulses, and living with humility—are not merely moral instructions. They are practical steps for awakening the dormant Christ consciousness within each soul. When a person lives these teachings consistently, the inner divine imprint begins to emerge more clearly. Over time, the mind and heart become aligned with God’s creative forces, just as Jesus’ were.
In this sense, salvation is not only about belief but about transformation. It is the process of gradually uncovering and expressing the God-given nature inside us. Jesus shows us how to do this by walking the path Himself: facing human struggles, cultivating spiritual discipline, and demonstrating perfect oneness with God.
So, “Jesus’ teachings are the steps for awakening Christ consciousness,” means that:
The pattern is already inside you.
Jesus shows you how to bring it into full expression.
It is a lifelong process of remembering who you truly are and learning to live from that inner divine center.
Christ Consciousness as the Divine Imprint
Every soul is created with a built-in divine pattern, which Cayce calls Christ consciousness.
This imprint is the God-nature within—the soul’s original spiritual identity.
It includes qualities such as:
Unconditional love
Forgiveness
Compassion
Patience
Unity with God
Selflessness
Inner peace
It is dormant or underdeveloped in most people because of ego, fear, or worldly distractions.
Jesus as the Full Expression of This Imprint
Jesus represents the perfect activation of Christ consciousness.
He lived in complete harmony with God’s will.
Jesus didn’t just teach spiritual truths—He embodied them fully.
He serves as the template or model, showing what the divine imprint looks like fully awakened.
Jesus’ Teachings = Steps for Awakening the Imprint
Cayce sees Jesus’ teachings as practical spiritual exercises, not just moral advice.
Examples of these steps:
1. Love and Compassion
“Love your neighbor as yourself” is not just ethical—it is the way to activate the soul’s true nature.
2. Forgiveness
Forgiving others removes barriers of resentment and fear, allowing divine qualities to flow.
3. Humility
Letting go of ego opens the soul to its deeper, God-centered identity.
4. Selflessness and Service
Helping others awakens the divine pattern because the soul was created for cooperation, not isolation.
5. Prayer and Meditation
These practices tune the mind to the higher consciousness already within.
6. Patience and Steadfastness
Patience is a spiritual discipline that aligns the soul with eternal truths rather than temporary emotions.
7. Overcoming Fear and Selfish Desire
Recognizing and releasing fear allows the inner divine nature to rise.
Awakening the Christ Consciousness
As a person lives Jesus’ teachings, the divine pattern inside them becomes more active.
Transformation happens gradually—moment by moment, choice by choice.
The awakened Christ consciousness expresses itself in daily life through:
Peace of mind
Kindness
Inner strength
Wisdom
A sense of unity with all life
The Goal
The ultimate purpose of spiritual growth, according to Cayce, is to:
Remember the divine imprint within, and
Express it through loving, Christ-like living.
...as one reads or sees the interpretations of these in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, who became the Christ, the Savior, through fulfilling those purposes, one realizes that indeed He has become the way, the truth and the light.
