READING 900-24 EXPLAINED (LAW OF RELATIVITY)
The “law of relativity” in reading 900-24 is not just about physics or measurements—it is a universal law of relationship. Cayce is saying that nothing exists by itself. Everything—matter, mind, soul, and spirit—only has meaning because of how it relates to everything else. As the reading says, this law “relates to the law as was set in motion in the beginning, when the Universe as a whole came into existence.” This means relativity is not something added later—it is built into creation itself. From the very beginning, everything was designed to exist in connection, comparison, and interaction. Nothing stands alone; everything is part of a larger system.
When Cayce talks about the physical world, he explains relativity through the structure of the universe. He says the earth exists in relation to “the other elements about same,” meaning planets, stars, and cosmic forces. These relationships create order—what he calls “the law of the relative position regarding the spheres.” So even the position of the earth, the movement of planets, and the balance of nature all depend on this law. Then he brings it down to earth: minerals, plants, and animals all develop in relationship to their environment and to each other. Nothing grows or exists independently. Life itself is relational—everything depends on something else to exist, survive, and develop.
Then the reading goes deeper into the human level—the mind and soul. Cayce explains that when humans were created, they were given a mind and soul that “bears its relation then to all other forces in the Universe.” This is powerful. It means your mind is not isolated—it is connected to the whole universe. Your thoughts, choices, and awareness are constantly interacting with everything around you. As the mind develops, it naturally begins “seeking to find those relations.” In simple terms, the human journey is about discovering how everything connects—how you relate to others, to nature, to truth, and ultimately to God.
Cayce then expands this idea into spiritual growth. He says the soul must develop until it reaches “that plane wherein the whole entity may become one with that creative forces… that Oneness with God.” This is where relativity becomes spiritual. The soul grows by understanding and aligning its relationship with all things—especially with the Creator. You don’t become one with God by escaping creation, but by understanding your place within it. Every experience, every relationship, every stage of life is part of this process. That’s why he says development must happen “through all the planes in the Universal Forces.” Growth happens step by step, level by level, through relationships in every dimension of existence.
Finally, Cayce brings it back to life itself. He explains that even chemical combinations and physical forms depend on a deeper force—the “creative plasm” or spiritual life-force. Without this, matter cannot truly live or reproduce. This “spirit agent” is the connecting energy behind all life, and it is itself part of the law of relativity. Life exists because it is connected to this creative force. Every living thing “bears its relation… to those conditions upon which the existence of such force depends.” In other words, life continues only because it stays connected to the source of life.
CHEMICAL LIFE VS LIVING LIFE - THE ROLE OF THE CREATIVE FORCE
Cayce begins by talking about something very simple and physical. He says that on the earth, all things—like soil, water, air, and minerals—can come together and combine. When they combine, they can create reactions, structure, and energy. For example, chemicals can mix and produce heat, change color, or form new substances. So even basic matter already has “force” in it. It can act and react, and it can form systems. But then Cayce makes an important point. He says that even though all this is happening, it is still not real life.
He explains that without what he calls the “creative plasm,” these chemical combinations cannot become living things. In other words, you can have structure, energy, and even complex systems, but without this inner life force, nothing can truly live. There is no ability to reproduce, no inner identity, and no ongoing life. So while chemicals can exist and interact, only living things can reproduce themselves. This ability to reproduce and continue life is what separates something that is alive from something that is not.
Cayce describes this “creative plasm” as “that energy, that first force, that spirit agent.” He is talking about something deeper than biology—a kind of life principle or spiritual seed inside living things. You can think of it simply like this: a rock has structure but no life, a plant has structure and life because it can grow and reproduce, and a human has structure, life, and awareness. The difference is not just that one is more complex than the other, but that living things have this inner force within them. This “creative plasm” is the life-giving essence, the spirit inside the body, and the power that allows growth and reproduction. It is what turns matter into a living being.
This idea also connects directly to the law of relativity. Cayce says this “spirit agent” is related to all life-giving forces, meaning it does not exist on its own. Life is always connected to something else. A living thing depends on its environment, like the sun, water, and nutrients. It depends on its body, like cells and systems working together. It depends on other life, like ecosystems and reproduction. And most importantly, it depends on the Creative Source, which is God. So even this life force is not separate—it works through relationships and connections.
When you put it all together, you can see three simple levels. First, there is the chemical level, where matter combines and creates reactions but has no life. Second, there is the living level, where things grow and reproduce because they have this inner life force. Third, there is the spiritual level, where life exists because it is connected to a higher creative energy.
The main idea Cayce is teaching is that life is not just chemistry—it is chemistry plus spirit. And even that spirit works under the law of relativity, which means life continues only as long as it stays connected to the forces that support it. In simple terms, matter can form, but only spirit makes it live, and that life continues through its connection to everything else, especially its source.
THE "CREATIVE PLASM"
The “creative plasm” is not just one simple thing like energy or a pattern—it is a combination of both, but even deeper than that. The best way to understand it is to see it as a living life-principle that includes energy, intelligence (pattern), and identity all together.
In simple terms, it is the something inside living things that makes them alive, able to grow, and able to reproduce. It is what turns matter into a living being.
First, it is like energy, because Cayce calls it “that energy, that first force.” It is the power that animates the body. Without it, everything becomes still and lifeless. Just like electricity powers a machine, this “creative plasm” powers life—but it is much more than mechanical energy.
Second, it is like a pattern or blueprint, because living things don’t just exist—they grow in a specific way. A seed becomes a plant of its own kind, not something random. Your body knows how to heal, grow, and maintain itself. That means there is an intelligent design inside the life force, guiding how life expresses itself. So the creative plasm carries order and direction, not just power.
But third—and this is the most important—it is also a spiritual identity. Cayce calls it a “spirit agent,” which means it comes from the Creative Source (God). It is not just energy and not just a pattern—it is life connected to its source. It carries the ability not only to live, but to continue life (reproduce) and to express individuality.
So instead of choosing one word, the best way to understand it is:
The creative plasm is living energy plus intelligent pattern plus spiritual identity
You can picture it like this:
Energy: gives life power
Pattern: gives life direction
Spirit: gives life meaning and identity
All three together makes up the "creative plasm"
This is why a rock cannot become alive, no matter how complex its chemistry becomes—it has structure, but it does not have this inner life principle. But a living cell does. It has energy, it follows a pattern (DNA, growth), and it carries a kind of inner “knowing” of how to continue itself.
And this connects back to the law of relativity in a powerful way: this “creative plasm” does not exist on its own. It only functions in relationship—to the body, to the environment, to other life, and ultimately to its Source. If that connection is broken, life cannot continue.
Creative plasm is the living spark within matter that carries power, design, and connection to the Source—making life possible.
LAW OF RELATIVITY KEY IDEAS:
1. Everything Exists in Relationship
Nothing stands alone—everything only makes sense in connection to something else.
2. The Universe is Structured by Relativity
Planets, nature, and life all function based on their position and relationship to each other.
3. The Mind Seeks Connection
The human mind naturally tries to understand how everything is connected.
4. The Soul Grows Through Relationships
Spiritual growth happens by learning our relationship to all things—especially God.
5. Oneness is the Goal
The highest development is becoming “one” with the Creative Force through understanding and alignment.
READING 900-24 (LAW OF RELATIVITY)
(Q) Explain in detail the law of relativity.
(A) This law of relativity we find, as has been given, relates to the law as was set in motion in the beginning, when the Universe as a whole came into existence.
As related to the mind, and to the earth conditions, we find first beginning with that of the earth in its position, with the other elements about same. These became the law of the relative position regarding the spheres, and as there begun the lowest form of the animal and mineral, and vegetable, forces in the earth, we begun with all relative condition regarding those conditions from other spheres, and their relations to same.
In the mind, then, and the soul forces as was given in man, in his creation, bears its relation then to all other forces in the Universe, and as man's mind developed in the earth's forces, the seeking to find those relations still remaining that relative force as exercised in an earth plane; each bearing its relation to the other, just as the planetary system is to earth and its relation to each and every kingdom as presented itself in its relation to the earth condition, and to those of the Creator and the Created, and as we find, then, in the soul's development to reach that plane wherein the whole entity may become one with that creative forces, that creative energy, that Oneness with the God, this we find needs then that development through all the planes in the Universal Forces, or throughout the Universe. Hence the necessity of developing in that plane. All bearing, then, the relative condition, position, action, state of being, to that creative force, and that created.
As we would have, as is shown in the earth's plane from the elements about the earth, all combination in chemical form begins a form of condition with force, less the creative plasm of the entity, the being, to give reproduction in itself, that energy, that first force, that spirit agent; in such being the relative force to all life giving forces. Hence, in its development, each bearing its relation, and its relative relation, to those conditions upon which the existence of such force depends.
