VIRTUE AND UNDERSTANDING Virtue is hardly a popular term in the today’s world, somehow sounding disconnected from reality. Edgar Cayce tries to redeem it, suggesting that virtue is the integrity we bring to our purpose in life once we’ve found it. Without virtue, we never really grow in our understanding of our purpose.Once we come to know our spiritual ideal, it’s possible for us to truly have faith, to truly perceive the nonmaterial. But what do we do with the capacity to experience the spiritual world directly? We still must live in the material world, afterall, with its practical demands. With virtue, we are able to hold on to the feelings and insights stimulated by faith; we are able to maintain our integrity of purpose and intention. And with integrity, understanding begins to blossom, an understanding of how the material and nonmaterial are both part of the same whole.Q Please give us that which we need in understanding and beginning work on our next lesson, on VIRTUE AND UNDERSTANDING.A In the beginning of the study of this lesson, would be well that each individual of the group, or students of same, review that as has been the preparation for the study of the attributes that are now to be set before such students.
