CO-CREATING WITH GOD - THE PRIVILEGE OF EACH SOUL

According to the readings, co-creating with God is the divine privilege given to every soul—a birthright rooted in the fact that we are made in the Creator’s image. Through our will, thoughts, ideals, and choices, we either align ourselves with God’s creative forces or oppose them. All creation begins in spirit, and when our ideals glorify God rather than the self, our lives unfold in harmony, peace, and purpose. Because God placed creative ability within us, we continually shape our environment through our attitudes and actions. Ultimately, co-creation is fulfilled by choosing to walk daily with God, inviting His presence, and living out the ideals He reveals—becoming true companions and co-laborers with Him.

1. CO-CREATION is a God-given privilege available to every soul.

“To each individual soul has been given the privilege, yea the opportunity, to become a co-worker with the Lord among his brethren.” 3019-1

This means that God has not limited spiritual partnership to certain “holy” or gifted people—every single soul is invited to work with Him. Being a co-creator with God is not something we earn or achieve; it is something God already placed within us as part of who we are. It is our spiritual birthright. At the same time, it is also a responsibility because God gives us the freedom to shape our lives, influence others, and bring goodness into the world. We are meant to be active partners with God—helping, loving, building, and creating good around us. Every soul, no matter how ordinary, young, old, weak, or imperfect, has this same opportunity. God offers it, and we are free to accept it.

2. Co-creation happens through our will, ideals, and choices.

“The will of an entity is either the co-creator with the Creative Forces (or God) or in opposition to such in a material world.” 3412-2

Cayce explains that our will—the power to choose—determines whether we are working with God or against Him. This means that every day, through our thoughts, desires, attitudes, and actions, we are shaping our lives in one direction or another. God never forces us to cooperate with Him; instead, He invites us to choose ideals like love, kindness, patience, and truth. When we choose these things, we work alongside God to create good in our lives and in the world. But when we choose fear, anger, selfishness, or harmful actions, we pull away from God’s creative power and build something less helpful or even destructive. Co-creation, then, is not something mystical—it is the simple, everyday process of choosing what kind of person we will be and what kind of world we will help create. Our choices are powerful because they shape our character, our relationships, and even our future.

3. Everything begins in spirit; we help shape outcomes with God.

“Know that all that materializes must first happen in spirit…in spirit it is purpose and ideal.” 3412-2

Cayce teaches that nothing in our lives appears by accident or starts only on the outside. This means that everything we experience—our actions, our progress, our growth, even our challenges—begins first as a thought, intention, or ideal inside us. When we form spiritual ideals such as kindness, patience, forgiveness, or a desire to do God’s will, we are planting seeds in the spiritual part of ourselves. These seeds eventually grow into the choices we make and the life we live. In this way, we shape our future together with God. Co-creating simply means aligning what we want with what God wants—choosing purposes that reflect His love and truth. When our heart and mind aim toward God’s ideals, our outer life slowly begins to reflect those inner choices. So, partnering with God starts in the quiet places of the spirit, where our intentions and beliefs lead the way for everything else that follows.

4. We are creators because the Creator placed creative ability within us.

“EVERY phase of life is the image of the Creator, or has the ability within itself to CREATE itself; thus the ability to make its own environment, if the activity for such is in keeping with the pattern OF the ideal the entity has chosen. ” 622-6

Cayce reminds us that God designed every part of life to reflect His own creative nature. This means that God placed a spark of His creativity inside each of us. We are not helpless beings just reacting to life—we have the power to shape our surroundings through the thoughts we hold, the attitudes we choose, and the ideals we follow. When we choose loving, hopeful, or truthful ideals, we begin building a healthier and more peaceful environment around us. But when we choose negative or selfish inner patterns, our outer world reflects that too. God designed it this way so we could grow, learn, and take part in His work. Because the Creator lives in us, our inner life becomes the blueprint for what we create outwardly. In simple words, God made us creative beings, and what we think, feel, and choose helps form the world we live in.

5. Co-creation requires choosing ideals that glorify God, not self.

“...the entity finds himself as a co-creator with the divine that is manifested in self. Thus, if the choice leads the entity into the exalting of self, it becomes as naught in the end. If the choice is that self is to be used in whatever manner - as in the talents, the attributes, the associations with its fellowmen - to GLORIFY the Creative Force, then the body, the mind, finds that peace, that harmony, that PURPOSE for which it chose to enter a material experience.” 622-6

Cayce teaches that we discover our true role as co-creators when we use our gifts, talents, and abilities for God’s purposes rather than for selfish gain. This means that when we use our abilities only to make ourselves look important, powerful, or superior, our efforts eventually fall apart or leave us empty. But when we offer what we have to God—our time, our skills, our kindness, our compassion—we begin to create in a way that brings real meaning and lasting peace. Co-creation is not about making life revolve around ourselves; it is about letting God work through us to bless others. When we choose ideals like humility, service, and love, we align with God’s purpose, and our inner life becomes calmer, clearer, and more fulfilled. In simple terms, we create best when we choose what honors God instead of what glorifies our ego.

6. Co-creation is expressed through everyday attitudes and actions.

“But ye being the co-creator with these forces, make with thy will and thy application of thy ideals the choices that bring about in the fruit of thy activities the good or bad deeds - or good and bad influences or manifestations.” 1531-1

Cayce makes it clear that co-creation is not something that happens only in prayer, meditation, or spiritual moments—it is happening all the time through the way we think, act, and treat people. This means our daily behavior is itself a form of creation. Every decision we make, every word we speak, every attitude we hold produces a result. Kindness creates peace. Patience creates understanding. Anger creates hurt. Selfishness creates division. We are constantly shaping both our inner world—our thoughts, feelings, and character—and our outer world—our relationships, our environment, and even the opportunities that come our way. God works with us, but He lets us choose what kind of “fruit” our life will produce. We create our lives one small choice at a time, and those choices show whether we are cooperating with God or pulling away from Him.

7. We were made to be companions and co-workers with God.

“So with man, the retrogression or progress is according to the application. The soul of each individual is a portion then of the Whole, WITH the birthright of Creative Forces to become a co-creator with the Father, a co-laborer with Him. As that birthright is then manifested, growth ensues. If it is made selfish, retardments must be the result.” 1549-1

Cayce explains that being a co-creator is not just something we do—it is part of who we are as souls. This means every soul comes from God and carries a piece of His creative spirit. We were made not to live separate from God, but to walk with Him, work with Him, and reflect His love through our lives. Co-creation is actually our built-in purpose—it is the reason our souls came into the world. When we live in ways that cooperate with God—through love, kindness, service, and truth—we grow spiritually and become more of who we were meant to be. But when we turn inward and live only for ourselves, we slow down our progress and miss the joy God intended. We were created to be God’s partners, helping to bring good into the world, and we are happiest and most alive when we live out that purpose.

8. Co-creation is strengthened through intimate relationship with God.

“Press ON to the mark of the higher calling as set in HIM, AND in THEE - if ye walk, if ye talk often with Him. Invite Him by name, by purpose, by desire, to be thy companion in all that ye do, all that ye say.” 622-6

Cayce reminds us that we were never meant to co-create on our own. God desires a close, personal relationship with each soul, and this relationship empowers our ability to work with Him. This means that co-creation grows stronger when we actively include God in our daily lives. When we speak with Him in prayer, reflect on His presence, seek His guidance, and welcome Him into our thoughts and decisions, we begin to sense His direction more clearly. We find strength we didn’t know we had, wisdom we couldn’t find alone, and peace that guides our choices. Co-creation becomes easier and more natural when our hearts stay connected to God. The more we walk with God, talk with God, and invite Him into everything we do, the more He can work through us—and the more our lives reflect His love and purpose.

CONCLUSION:

Co-creating with God is the natural purpose and privilege of every soul. Because we are made in God’s image, each of us carries a spark of His creative power. Cayce’s readings explain that we shape our lives through our will, thoughts, choices, and ideals, and that these inner decisions determine whether we cooperate with God or work against Him. Everything begins in spirit—our intentions and ideals form the blueprint for what later becomes our outer experience. God placed creative ability inside every soul, so our attitudes, actions, and daily behavior continuously build the environment we live in.

True co-creation requires choosing ideals that honor God rather than glorifying ourselves. When we use our gifts to serve, love, and uplift others, our lives unfold in peace, harmony, and purpose. But when our choices revolve around selfishness, pride, or fear, our growth slows and our creative power becomes distorted. Co-creation shows up in everyday life—how we treat people, how we respond to challenges, and how we use our free will.

We were created to be companions and co-workers with God. This is not optional—it is part of our identity as souls. We grow spiritually when we align our will with God’s will. Finally, intimacy with God strengthens our ability to co-create. When we walk with Him daily, talk with Him, seek His guidance, and consciously invite His presence into our choices, His power works through us. We then live out our divine purpose more fully and become channels of love and truth in the world.
