From the ARE (Edgar Cayce foundation) the quote for the day today:
(Q) What is meant by the children of light . . . ? (A) "They that choose to be guided by His will and do not, through themselves, attempt to manifest self rather than the will of the Father. In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. He said, Let there be light-and there was light. Like begets like. It is both cause and effect, and they that choose some other way become the children of darkness; and they are these: envying, strife, hate; and the children of these are sedition, rebellion, and the like. The children of light first love, for "Though I may have the gift of prophecy, though I may speak in unknown tongues, though I give my body to be burned and have not the spirit of the Son of man, the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Spirit, I am nothing." For, the children of light know Him; He calleth each by name."
My personal belief is that Edgar Cayce (who died in 1945 in his mid-sixties) helped us in our culture to make a transition from church-style language to a more free style language in talking about these things -- kind of a gentle transition for those who had been kept in a rigid church-controlled box for centuries. Cayce was perfect for the job because of his devotion to Jesus and the Bible - it was hard to question his sincerity.
