Meditate on Any Problem and Receive Guidance

READING 2533-4 EXPLAINED

In reading 2533-4, Edgar Cayce is explaining how a person can meditate on any problem and receive guidance. He says that each person is created in the image of God. This means we are not separate from divine help. We are known and remembered by God. The fact that we are aware of ourselves — our strengths, our weaknesses, and even the faults of others — shows that we already have consciousness and spiritual awareness. We know when we fall short of our own ideals. But we also sense that there is something greater within us. There are hidden possibilities inside us that we have not fully used.

Cayce reminds us that we do not need to look outside ourselves for answers, as if someone must come down from heaven to give us a message. The message is already within. Our body is called the “temple of the living God.” This means that wisdom, understanding, and knowledge can speak to us from inside, if we make space for it. God can communicate with us when we quiet our minds and open our hearts. The problem is not that guidance is missing. The problem is that we often do not create the inner stillness to receive it.

He then speaks about Christ as a living helper. Cayce says that Christ came into human life so we would not feel distant from God. Christ acts as a friend and representative for us — someone who understands human struggle and stands ready to help. This presence is always near, “at the door” of our consciousness. But the door must be opened from the inside. Guidance is available, but it requires willingness.

So how do we open that door? Cayce says we open it by attuning ourselves. This means turning our thoughts, desires, and intentions toward unity with God. It means sincerely wanting alignment. Atonement — or “at-one-ment” — has already been offered. The connection already exists. When we seek God with honesty, we will find guidance.

When we meditate on a problem, the key attitude is surrender. Instead of demanding our own solution, we pray: “Not my will, but Yours be done through me.” This shifts us from ego to alignment. When we truly desire to be a channel for good — when we want our actions to reflect love in the way we treat others — clarity begins to come. The answer may not always appear as a loud voice. It often comes as inner knowing, peace, or a clearer sense of direction.

Cayce finishes by reminding us that how we treat other people shows whether we are truly aligned. If Christ stands as our representative before God, then every person we meet represents Christ to us. The way we treat others becomes the measure of our spiritual understanding. Meditation is not only about solving problems. It is about becoming a channel of love, day by day.

In simple terms, Cayce is saying: The answers you seek are already within you. Quiet your mind. Open your heart. Surrender your personal will. Ask to be aligned with God’s will. Then listen. Guidance will come — and it will show itself in how you live and how you treat others.

READING 2533-4

(Q) Outline additional comprehensive instructions that will enable this entity to meditate on any problem that may arise and get the solution.

(A) As has been indicated so oft for others, as well as for this entity, - ye as an individual are made in the image of the Creator. Ye are, as an individual, remembered by Him, - which is demonstrated in thy awareness of thy ability, thy consciousness in the present of being alive and conscious of the faults and the failures of thy fellow man about you, and of thine own shortcomings in meeting or fulfilling all of thine own ideals as to the relationship an individual soul-entity should bear to the Creative Forces or God.

Yet ye realize the possibilities, the opportunities that lie latent within. For, as was given of old, - Say not as to who will descend from heaven that ye may have a message, for Lo, it is in thine own heart. For, thy body is indeed the temple of the living God. There He - as all knowledge, all undertakings, all wisdom, all understanding - may commune with thee, if ye but give that opportunity, that force an opportunity to open thine heart, thine mind, thy understanding, to His presence.

Ye believe, and ye know, and ye understand, that His Son, thy Brother, entered into the flesh that ye might have not only that promise of old that man has gotten so far from, but that ye might today have an advocate with the Father; that ye might know not only that thine own angel of thyself, what thou hast been, stands ever as the evidence of thy consciousness, thy awareness, thy presence in the throne of the Father, but that thy Brother, thy Representative, thy Friend, stands ever ready to intercede for thee. And, as He hath given, He stands continually at the door of thy consciousness, of thy heart. If ye will open, He will enter.

How do ye open? By attuning, turning thy thought, thy purpose, thy desire to be at an at-onement with Him. The atonement has been offered. Thus ye have that assurance that as ye seek His face He will come and abide.

Thus, as ye seek for any purpose, - worthy or unworthy, - these will be made known to thee, and the course thou shouldst pursue. In this, even as He:

"NOT MY WILL, LORD, BUT THINE BE DONE IN ME, THROUGH ME, DAY BY DAY. MAY I EVER BE THE CHANNEL THAT MAY BRING TO MY FELLOW MAN THAT AWARENESS OF THY LOVE, - BY THE MANNER IN WHICH I, MYSELF, TREAT MY FELLOW MAN DAY BY DAY; KNOWING, IN MY OWN HEART AND MIND, THAT INASMUCH AS OR IN THE MANNER I TREAT MY BROTHER, HERE, I AM TREATING MY BROTHER WHO STANDS IN MY STEAD BEFORE THY THRONE."
