The greater significance of Scripture lies not in depicting external history, but in what the outward events represent to the inner man. The rupture between Cain and Abel depicts an ever present condition in man.

It has been understood by most of those who have attained to a consciousness of the various presentations of good and evil in manifested forms, as we have indicated, that the prince of this world, Satan, Lucifer, the Devil—as a soul—made those necessities, as it were, of the consciousness in materiality; that man might—or that soul might—become aware of its separation from the God Force.

Hence the continued warring that is ever present in materiality or in the flesh, or the warring—as is termed—between the flesh and the devil, or the warring between the influences of good and evil

262-89

The development of the Adamic race was an attempt to crystallize the thought-form projections into God’s manner of expressing the Spirit. However the attempt failed. As these five races entered, they began to take on forms that would gratify and satisfy carnal desires.

With the fall and ensuing entrapment and loss of spiritual consciousness in a material world, more souls, or spirit, continued entering this dimension as a “balancing factor” to the spirit of self-indulgence which was leading many of the Sons of God astray.

(Q) What was meant by the Sons of the Highest in Atlantis and the second coming of souls to the earth, as mentioned in a Life reading given through this channel?

(A) In this period or age, as was seen—there is fault of words here to project that as actually occurs in the formations of that as comes about! There was, with the will of that as came into being through the correct channels, of that as created by the Creator, that of the continuing of the souls in its projection and projection—see? while in that as was of the off–spring, of that as pushed itself into form to satisfy, gratify, that of the desire of that known as carnal forces of the senses, of those created, there continued to be the war one with another, and there were then—from the other sources (worlds) the continuing entering of those that would make for the keeping of the balance, as of the first purpose of the Creative Forces, as it magnifies itself in that given sphere of activity, of that [which] had been given the ability to create with its own activity—see? and hence the second, or the continued entering of souls into that known as the earth’s plane during this period, for that activity as was brought about.

364-7

Perhaps this “continued entering” by the Sons of God as a balancing factor to avert complete separation through self-indulgence is what is meant when Enoch prophesied, saying, “Behold the Lord comes with ten thousand of his saints.” (Jude 1:14)

Their effect as teachers and ministers is shown in the fact that by the time of Seth’s son Enos, “men began to call upon the name of the Lord.” (Genesis 4:26)

The above reading continues:

Let’s remember that as was given, in the second, third from Adam, or fourth, or from Amilius, there was “In that day did they call upon the name of the Lord”—is right! and ever, when the elements that make for littleness, uncleanness, are crucified in the body, the Spirit of the Lord, of God, is present! When these are overbalanced, so that the body (physical), the mental man, the imagination of its heart, is evil, or his purpose is evil, then is that war continuing—as from the beginning. Just the continued warring of those things within self as from the beginning; for with these changes as brought sin into the world, with same came the fruits of same, or the seed as of sin, which we see in the material world as those things that corrupt good ground, those that corrupt the elements that are of the compounds of those of the first causes, or elementals, and pests are seen—and the like, see? So does it follow throughout all creative forces, that the fruits of that as is active brings that seed that makes for the corrupting of, or the clearing of, in the activative forces of, that being acted upon.

364-7

To the Israelites, Babel was the place where God divided mankind into various nations. (Deuteronomy 32:8) However, the first indication of the fragmentation of the original unity is in Genesis 4, with the murder of Abel and the flight of Cain and Cain’s marriage to an unknown outside group.

Cayce indicates these events were taking place 500,000 to 50,000 years before Moses! (877-26)

. . . in the Atlantean land when there were those divisions between those of the Law of One and the Sons of Belial, and the offspring of what was the pure race and those that had projected themselves into creatures that became as the sons of man (as terminology would be) rather than the creatures of God.

1416-1

The following reading discusses the divisions that were taking place. Cayce uses the terms “Sons of Belial” in the reading, but they represent the same activity as “The Children of Cain.” Cayce told this person he had been “firstborn of the sons of men”:

When the first of life in flesh form appeared in the earth’s plane, this entity was among those making the first appearance in the form of man, or when the development reached such that the universal forces then created the soul man. The entity was among the firstborn of the sons of men.

4609-1

In the second influx came the Sons of the Highest as bearers of spiritual knowledge. Some were giants, and were sought out by those of the first creation. The reference to “first dwellings” indicates a service also.

When there was the second coming of souls into the earth’s plane, this entity was among those who gave the first dwellings for groups. The entity was of giant stature, and was of those who were called Sons of the Highest, for there came many of the first role that were sought by those peoples. This was before the day of the Flood.

2802-1

The following is a significant reading which defines the separation between the Sons of God and the issues which polarized them:

Hence we find there had been the separating into groups (as we would call them) for this or that phase of activity; and those that were against that manner of development.

The Sons of Belial were of one group, or those that sought more the gratifying, the satisfying, the use of material things for self, without thought or consideration as to the sources of such nor the hardships in the experiences of others. Or, in other words, as we would term it today, they were those without a standard of morality.

The other group—those who followed the Law of One—had a standard. The Sons of Belial had no standard, save of self, self-aggrandizement.

877-26

The descendants of Seth kept to the heritage of Amilius, or Adam. Cain is symbolic of the followers of Belial.

A form of non-sexual conception—represented by the creation of Eve from the rib of Adam—was practiced by those souls who were of the Law of One. Through their unity with the Spirit, the innocent and pure in spirit could enter into the earth plane through the channels they established. The Sons of Belial, who were indulging in sexual or carnal forces, were attuned to a more material consciousness. Their spirit had become polluted through their activities in the earth.

Then we find the entity, now known as or called [877], was among the children of the Law of One; entering through the natural sources that had been considered in the period as the means of establishing a family. However, they were rather as a group than as an individual family.

For those who were of the ruling forces were able by choice to create or bring about, or make the channel for the entrance or the projection of an entity or soul, as the period of necessity arose.

Then such were not as households or as families, like we have today, but rather as groups.

Their standard was that the soul was given by the Creator or entered from outside sources into the projection of the mental and spiritual self at the given periods. that was the standard of the Law of One, but was rejected by the Sons of Belial.

But this entity, [877], is the one whom we are to follow in the present; as for its application of those innate tenets, that are a portion of the aroma of the innate being, as it were, or the influence that is as the rate of vibratory force of the entity in its relationships to the universal activity or vibratory forces.

These are the abilities to which the entity may attune self, through all the various phases of its application in those directions in other experiences.

But that was among the first entrances, or the second entrance of the entity from the without, into that form which became encased as an entity, an individual body, see?

877-26

Later it is recorded that Noah “was pure in his generation,” which probably refers to this spiritual manner of producing offspring.
