Meditation and the Mind of Man

Based on the Edgar Cayce Readings

A helpful handbook, by authors Herbert Bruce Puryear, Ph.D. and Mark Thurston, Ph.D., designed to teach you how to meditate confidently. This step-by-step approach to the practice of meditation is based on recommendations from the Edgar Cayce readings. It covers the purposes, psychology, and physiology of meditation and includes:

• Setting ideals
• Using affirmations
• Choosing appropriate time, place, and position
• Aiding attunement through music and chants
• Channeling the energy raised

The central teaching of the Edgar Cayce readings is best understood by seeing the oneness in this triune formula: "the Spirit is the life, Mind is the builder, the Physical is the result." This formula is the basis for the understanding of the nature of man which is given in the readings; and oneness in the triune is the key to our understanding of the way in which the readings approach the subject of meditation.
