PRINCIPLE #1 Mind Is the Builder: What You Think, You Become   While in college Jerry attended a weekend seminar called “Preparing for the Future.” Included in the seminar was a workshop that involved writing down in as much detail as possible just what you would like to be doing in twenty years. Jerry gave this exercise serious attention and did his best to visualize an ideal day twenty years into the future.   Participants concluded the exercise by putting the document into a sealed envelope, which would then be stashed away where it wouldn’t be thought about or lost. All this Jerry did, and, as was expected, he forgot all about it. By a curious coincidence he found that envelope almost to the day twenty years later. As he read over the “ancient” document, he was amazed and tickled to discover that he was now actually living his projected scenario with uncanny accuracy.   What does this true story tell us—that Jerry was psychic and had successfully predicted the future? Maybe. But, more likely, what happened to Jerry is an illustration of something deeper and more profound, a principle that was articulated over and over in the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce: Mind is the builder. In other words, with the awesome power of your mind you can create your future, your situation in the world, even the very person you are. That power is a very special gift of the Creative Force, or God.   What is this gift of the mind, this fundamental aspect of your soul? Is it your ability to analyze and calculate? Is it your ability to visualize and imagine possibilities? Is it the mysterious part of you that concocts dreams every night while you sleep? Actually, it’s all these things. Your mind is versatile and multifaceted, and it’s the bridge between the realm of spirit and the world of physical reality.   The phrase Mind is the builder is usually found in the Cayce readings as part of a spiritual law that summarizes the creative process itself. In its entirety, the formula states, “Spirit is the life, mind is the builder, and the physical is the result.” These simple words describe the most basic process of life. Understanding the concept gives you a potent tool in your pursuit of happiness.   The formula begins with the source and essence of all life, the spirit—the foundation of all things—the raw power from which everything is born. The Greeks named it pneuma. The Hindus call it shakti; the Sioux Indians, wakonda. In Western religions it is often referred to as the power of God. The Cayce readings l
