What has this to do with THEOSOPHY ?

I am looking for parallels or explanations.

Subject: Theos-World Cayce on Yoga



Hey,

Thanks to Perry, Netemara, Leon, Steve, and John for all the good
information and commentary on shabd yoga and attendant phenomena. 
Here is an excerpt from a Cayce reading in which he addresses the
purpose of meditation:

Thus an entity puts itself, through such an activity, into association
or in conjunction with all it has *ever* been or may be. For, it
loosens the physical consciousness to the universal consciousness.
To allow self in a universal state to be controlled, or to be
dominated, may become harmful.

But to know, to feel, to comprehend as to who or as to what is the
directing influence when the self-consciousness has been released and
the real ego allowed to rise to expression is to be in that state of
universal consciousness-- which is indicated in this body here, Edgar
Cayce, through which there is given this interpretation for [2475].

So, in analyzing all this-- first study the variations of what has
been the body-temperament, in thought, in food. For, the
body-physical becomes that which it assimilates from material nature.
The body-mental becomes that it assimilates from both the
physical-mental and the spiritual mental. The soul is *all* that the
entity is, has been or may be.

Then, *who* and *what* would the entity have to direct self in such
experiences? To be loosed without a governor, or a director, may
easily become harmful. But, as we would give from here, let not such
a director be that of an entity. Rather so surround self with the
universal consciousness of the *Christ* as to be directed by that
influence as may be committed to thee. Thus the entity may use
constructively that which has been attained.

But to prevent physical harm, mental harm-- attune self in body, in
mind, with that influence by which the entity seeks to be directed;
not haphazardly, not by chance-- but as of old-- choose ye this day
*whom* ye will serve; the living God within thee, by thee, through
thee? or those influences of knowledge without wisdom, that would
enslave or enpower thee with the material things which only gratify
for the moment?
