within the physical forces, that are as small worlds or universes within themselves, and the blood stream that which correlates the ability of each of these atomic forces to work in unison throughout the system.
This not a deficiency, but a lack of coordination between the nerve systems–which are as a unit, yet function one with each within itself–for remember, each organism, and each vibratory force as set in the body, is as of a unit within itself– and they are of the countless millions! See?
Now, to meet the needs of these conditions in this body, it becomes necessary, as we see, then, to create the correct vibration, and remove from the body these conditions in the normal way, without disturbing the equilibrium of the functioning of any organ above or below in its (the organ’s) normal condition . . . we would create that correct vibration that will bring about the normal forces to each portion, and especially stimulating the blood supply to that condition wherein it (the blood supply) may be kept nearer normal throughout, and at all times.

Cayce’s course of treatment included a change of diet, improved eliminations, several therapies designed to help improve the woman’s digestive and assimilation processes, and a stimulation of the circulation through such things as massage. The reading also prescribed the use of a Cayce-recommended electrical appliance (which will be discussed in later chapters), designed to stimulate and assist the body in its return to proper functioning. By following the recommended course of treatment, the reading assured the woman that the condition could be “eliminated through the proper channels” and would result in the creation of “that proper vibration within the body.”
In addition to vibrations and health, the Cayce material provides a wealth of information on the topic of vibrations and consciousness. Essentially, this material suggests that as individuals raise their own consciousness and attune to higher levels of spirit and vibration, they can become channels for the one force and become co-creative partners with the divine in bringing spirit into the earth. Beginning in 1931, two types of group readings started taking place that explored this premise in greater detail. One was the study group readings, which were given to a group of individuals that called themselves Norfolk #1, and the other was the prayer group readings, which were given to the Glad Helpers Prayer Group. Both of these sets of materials continue to have a major impact upon the Cayce work even to this day, and both ultimately provide a series of tools for transforming personal consciousness and raising individual vibration.
As background information, it is important to point out one of the major premises contained in what might be called the Cayce cosmology. From the perspective of the Cayce readings, rather than being physical bodies that possess souls, each individual is ultimately a spiritual being, a soul, having a physical experience. Through life’s experiences and individual soul growth, each soul will ultimately reawaken to its divine source and acquire an awareness of its oneness with the rest of creation. The readings contend that this reawakening occurred in the life of Jesus and is perhaps best described as the universal Christ Consciousness: “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.” (5749-14) Rather than being connected to a particular religion, Cayce called Jesus the “elder brother” for all of humanity and stated that this Christ Consciousness is universal and is the destiny for every soul regardless of his or her religious beliefs. In fact, Cayce suggests that God desired to bring spirit into the earth and that each individual is destined to become an emissary of that spirit, ultimately raising the vibration of the earth and the third dimension to be in accord with divine will.
For example, in 1932, while giving a discourse on the subject of prayer, meditation, and vibration, Cayce told the Glad Helpers Prayer Group that as they raised their personal vibration through attunement and spiritual growth, they would experience a “closer walk” with God. This would also enable them to become channels of spiritual energy to others. In the language of the readings, the group was reminded that:
Vibration is, in its simple essence or word, raising the Christ Consciousness in self to such an extent as it may flow out of self to him thou would direct it to . . . What produces same? These are the vibrations to which a body has raised by its attunement of its whole being, its whole inner self, of a consciousness of that divine force that emanates in Life itself in this material plane.

Echoing this same premise, on another occasion, a forty-five-year-old woman seeking mental and spiritual counsel from Edgar Cayce was encouraged with advice as to the ultimate purpose for which each soul enters into the earth:
The purpose of the entity in the earth, is that it may know itself, also to be itself, and yet at one with the Creative Forces, fulfilling those purposes for which the entity comes into the earth; accepting, believing, knowing then thy relationship to that Creative Force.

Throughout a series of readings given to the Norfolk #1 Study Group, Edgar Cayce described how the application of spiritual principles in the earth led to a growth in consciousness as well as a higher personal vibration. However, even group members might have been surprised in 1934 when a reading described how every location also possesses its own unique vibration, essentially created by the people and activities within the surrounding area. Cayce told those assembled: “This might be interesting to those who are compiling things. Each state, country, or town makes its own vibrations by or through the activities of those that comprise same . . .” (262-66) In other words, the collective thoughts and activities of a group of people in a location create an energetic vibration that is reflective of those very thoughts and activities. As unusual as this may sound to some, the feeling inside a church, synagogue, or mosque– even if you are the only individual present–is very different from the feeling inside a very different place, such as a post office, even if you are the only individual present. Somehow collective thought and activity help to energize a place with vibration. With this in mind, is it any wonder, then, that individuals sometimes feel out of sync with a particular location?–suggesting perhaps that the individual’s energetic vibration is somehow out of harmony with (or very different from) the collective whole.
In addition to vibrations being integrally connected to healing, consciousness, and locations, everything that is a part of the material world is also subject to vibrations and ultimately emanates vibrations all its own. On one occasion, Cayce told a thirty-four-year-old physicist:
For . . . everything in motion, everything that has taken on materiality as to become expressive in any kingdom in the material world, is by the vibrations that are the motions–or those positive and negative influences that make for that differentiation that man has called matter in its various stages of evolution into material things.

Interestingly enough, the same individual was encouraged to use his first initial and his middle name, “J. Howard,” rather than his first name (John), as it apparently created a vibration more in keeping with the talents and abilities he was attempting to manifest in his life at that time. Therefore, names and words possess individual vibrations as well.
On one occasion, an individual who was very interested in the vibrational qualities of astronomy, numbers, metals, and stones obtained a reading and inquired as to how the vibrations of each might best be used to help him in his life. Much like the information on vibrations and consciousness, Cayce suggested that ultimately, each could best be used as a means of attuning to the divine. The individual’s advice included the following:
As these are but lights, but signs in thine experience, they are as but a candle that one stumbles not in the dark. But worship not the light of the candle; rather that to which it may guide thee in thy service. So, whether from the vibrations of numbers, of metals, of stones, these are merely to become the necessary influences to make thee in attune, one with the Creative Forces; just as the pitch of a song of praise is not the song nor the message therein, but is a helpmeet for
