Our present existence on Earth is three dimensional. There is time, space, and motion. We think of space in terms of height, length, and width; time as past, present, and future. We speak of ourselves as having physical, mental, and spiritual life. We understand the dimensions of man’s awareness to be conscious, subconscious, and superconscious; the world about us as mineral, plant, and animal. The Bible refers to a three dimensional God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.8 k9 C+ g+ }/ |6 G( U

我们如今在地球上的存在是三维的。存在着时间、空间和运动。空间即长、高、宽；时间即过去、现在和未来。我们视自己为具有生理、心理和灵魂的生命。我们知道人的感知范围有：意识、潜意识和超意识；我们所处的世界有矿物、动物和植物。圣经中提到一个三维的圣父、圣子和圣灵的三位一体的上帝。

! Y3 l: { f9 @5 [( f" V According to Cayce’s revelations, our experience relates more to the entire solar system and not just three dimensional Earth. Cayce stated that each solar system is like a university with many dimensions of learning available and through which we must travel through. Our solar system has nine dimensions or planes of consciousness, of which Earth represents the third. The dimensions of consciousness are associated with the planets of our solar system. This does not mean souls live on the surface of other planets as we do on Earth, but rather, souls live in fourth and fifth dimensional realms associated with the planetary spheres that we see with our three dimensional eyes. The physical planets also have nonphysical realms which souls can experience when not active in the physical body on Earth. This would include death, deep sleep, or other altered states that free the subconsicous from its normal physical constraints. There is not only reincarnation in the Earth plane, but reincarnation in other planes between Earth incarnations as well. If a soul incarnates into an Earth life from one of these planetary influences, the soul will manifest the influence of the realm from which it recently came. These influences, which are defined in astrology, are related to the dimension symbolized by the planet. Cayce did not give a complete description of them; however, the following incomplete chart was derived from his psychic readings. Each planet in our solar system has a particular influence by which certain lessons are to be learned and for which we are tested on Earth. They are:

Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven is within you. Your body is a temple for the Spirit of God. On this earth plane, a person is influenced by their flesh and, in many ways, the influence of the flesh determines a person’s level of spiritual development. According to Cayce and the Eastern religions, within your body are seven spiritual centers. Through these spiritual centers, our spiritual force finds a means of expression. Our bodies are like a miniature solar system with our hearts performing the function of the sun, the center of the system. The seven spiritual centers are the seven endocrine glands which are the Pituitary gland (the "third eye"), the Pineal gland, the Thyroid, the Thymus, the Adrenal glands, the Lyden gland, and finally the sexual gland (the testes or ovaries). These glands are known by science to be the emotional and motivational centers of the body. They act especially in responses to the imaginative forces of the mind. For example, when you get angry, the Adrenals secrete. The activity of the sexual glands is directly related to sexual motivation. Science knows that the Pituitary is the master gland of the body. It’s secretions have a direct and coordinating effect on all the other glands. According to Cayce and the Eastern religions, each spiritual center is connected to a different plane of spiritual consciousness. The lowest spiritual center, the sexual glands, is influenced by the lowest plane of consciousness. The Pituitary gland is influenced by the highest plane of consciousness. The plane of consciousness one travels to upon death is generally determined by the spiritual center that has the greater influence in a person’s life. Below is a chart showing the location of these spiritual centers on the body. At the bottom of this page is a table showing how these spiritual centers and the afterlife planes of consciousness go together.

, [, _% f0 b3 ]$ ?* l% ^: v As an example, Edgar Cayce during a reading described his most recent sojourns throughout the cosmos. The soul of Edgar Cayce sojourned in the dimension of Uranus, the plane of the "psychic", and just before incarnating in the earth dimension, had a brief experience in the dimension of Venus. He incarnated into the earth with these most recent experiences ingrained in his soul. Such a combination would make a person "psychic" having a "heart" for helping others.

例如，埃德加·凯西在一次解读中，描述了他最近的在宇宙中的逗留。埃德加·凯西的灵魂曾在天王星逗留，即“灵魂层”，并且就在地球维度投生之前，他在金星维度有一次简短的经历。他带着这些深植于他灵魂中的经历投生至地球。这种结合会使一个人的“灵魂”具有一颗帮助他人的“心”。' t9 x, C! D# F9 f2 ]' T5 J
# z5 Y! |0 r! |7 S* V7 Z As another example, Edgar Cayce described his sister Lila’s sojourns. Her soul sojourned in the dimension of Jupiter prior to incarnating into the earth. But before incarnating she had an experience in Mercury which added to her mental ability. Jupiter’s influence of "high mindedness and large groups" is one of the reasons she later became an executive for the International Red Cross. Large groups and high ideals often come with incarnations in the Jupiter dimension according to Cayce. These influences, Cayce says, are latent within the soul by soul experience, not just because the stars are in a certain position at the time of birth. The soul has actually had experiences in these dimensions. This is an energy the soul can draw on during our experience here. During sleep, we also enter into the dimensions again according to Cayce. We are truly citizens of the cosmos even as we walk the earth." v1 z% g" q: h8 J) j

再举一个例子，埃德加·凯西描述了他姐姐丽拉的逗留。她的灵魂在投生至地球前，曾逗留在木星的维度。但在投生之前，她有一段使她增长了心灵能力的在水星的经历。木星的“高度具有思想和大团体”的影响力是她后来成为国际红十字会的一个行政人员的原因之一。根据凯西，大团体和高度理想常常与来自木星维度的投生相关。凯西说，这些影响力通过灵魂经验潜伏在灵魂之内，而不只因为出生时星星处在某个方位。灵魂实际上具有这些维度的经验。当我们在这里经历时，这是一种灵魂可以提取的能量。根据凯西，在睡眠时，我们也再次进入这些维度。尽管我们漫步于地球上，但我们确实是宇宙居民。 |
