I've read your post three times and have a Cayce Reading that might help. The beginning of this reading might seem "off topic", or to stray
somewhat, but you might find that it answers some of what you seek.. Hope it helps.

Time of Reading
11:05 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
1. GC: You will have before you the enquiring mind present
here, [2533], born December 22, 1904 in Norfolk, Va.,
together with the information in his readings of May 29, 1943
and October 31, 1942.
From the highest source in the Christ Consciousness available
to this entity you will give detailed and comprehensive
instructions necessary for the entity to know, speak, and
understand the proper use of the Sacred Omnific Word of Power
or Logos and to have conscious access to Omnipotence,
Omniscience and Omnipresence. You will answer the questions
that may be asked.
2. EC: In this, as we find, the entity is asking that it knows
not of. This ability - to speak, to apply, to be present in
Omnipresence - is attained by having fully, completely met
all that has been error in the experience of the body, mind
and soul in the earth experience.
3. Not that this is not attainable, but one grows to that
consciousness in the application of the faith in and the
consciousness of being at-one with the divine that is within.
4. This may not then be given as yet.
5. (Q) Is the transmutation of human flesh to flesh divine the
real mystery of the Crucifixion and Resurrection? Explain
this mystery.
(A) There is no mystery to the transmutation of the body of
the Christ. For having attained in the physical
consciousness the at-onement with the Father-Mother-God, the
completeness was such that with the disintegration of the
body - as indicated in the manner in which the shroud, the
robe, the napkin lay - there was then the taking of the
body-physical form. This was the manner. It was not a
transmutation, as of changing from one to another.
Just as indicated in the manner in which the body-physical
entered the Upper Room with the doors closed, not by being a
part of the wood through which the body passed but by forming
from the ether waves that were within the room, because of a
meeting prepared by faith. For as had been given, "Tarry ye
in Jerusalem - in the upper chamber - until YE be endued with
power from on high."
As indicated in the spoken word to Mary in the garden, "Touch
me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father." The body
(flesh) that formed that seen by the normal or carnal eye of
Mary was such that it could not be handled until there had
been the conscious union with the sources of all power, of
all force.
But afterward - when there had been the first, second, third,
fourth and even the sixth meeting - He THEN said: "Put forth
thy hand and touch the nail prints in my hands, in my feet.
Thrust thy hand into my side and BELIEVE." This indicated
the transformation.
For as indicated when the soul departs from a body (this is
not being spoken of the Christ, you see), it has all of the
form of the body from which it has passed - yet it is not
visible to the carnal mind unless that mind has been, and is,
attuned to the infinite. Then it appears, in the infinite,
as that which may be handled, with all the attributes of the
physical being; with the appetites, until these have been
accorded to a unit of activity with universal consciousness.
Just as it was with the Christ-body: "Children, have ye
anything here to eat?" This indicated to the disciples and
the Apostles present that this was not transmutation but a
regeneration, recreation of the atoms and cells of body that
might, through desire, masticate material things - fish and
honey (in the honeycomb) were given.
As also indicated later, when He stood by the sea and the
disciples and Apostles who saw Him from the distance could
not, in the early morning light, discern - but when He spoke,
the voice made the impression upon the mind of the beloved
disciple such that he spoke, "It is the Lord!" The body had
prepared fire upon the earth - fire, water, the elements that
make for creation. For as the spirit is the beginning, water
combined of elements is the mother of creation.
Not transmutation of flesh but creation, in the pattern
indicated.
Just as when there are those various realms about the solar
system in which each entity may find itself when absent from
the body, it takes on in those other realms not an earthly
form but a pattern - conforming to the same dimensional
elements of that individual planet or space.
6. (Q) How may I project a counterpart of my conscious
awareness to any given place desired and comprehend or even
take part in events there?
(A) Read what we have just been giving. This is an
explanation of how. For it takes first spirit and mind
form, and may be aware of the elements in space. For time
and space are the elements of man's own concept of the
infinite and are not realities as would be any bodily element
in the earth - as a tree, a rose, a bird, an animal, as even
a fellow being. Yet, just as the body may in its own
material mind visualize, draw, a concept, a picture of an
incident that has happened in time, so may the body in spirit
and in spiritual mind project itself, be conscious of
elements, be conscious of form, by and through spirit mind -
as patterned in a conscious mind. Mind, then, becomes as a
stream, with its upper and lower stratum, with that which
moves swiftly or that which is resting upon either spirit or
physical being.
These come, then, as flashes to a conscious mind. They may
be gradually sustained, maintained. Just as mind may be
projected.
Here we will have an illustration: In a camp near here, near
this particular spot or place ye occupy, there has been a
gift taken by someone else. There will be a projection of
the thought, "This MUST BE RETURNED!" and it will be. For
here we have the parties to this physical condition existent
- right and wrong, good and bad, spirit, mind, body. They
are parts of this happening, and it is now being replaced.
7. (Q) How may I recognize sincere seekers of the Light,
incarnate, and attune to those disincarnate?
(A) This, too, has just been explained in how and where and
in what manner there may be the projection; or even as the
body may interpret it when the body in itself may levitate
itself from matter. Begin with self, then; attuning self in
mind to spirit, until there is the ability in self to see
self levitated from its own body. See it pass by. See it
stand aside. See it act in all of the activities. This,
then, will give the entity that ability within self to
discern incarnate and disincarnate entities in their own
activity.
Begin with self, not outside of self, if you would keep your
own rational self.
8. (Q) Give meaning and pronunciation of the word
J-A-H-H-E-V-A-H-E.
(A) Java; meaning the ability within itself to know itself
to be itself and yet one with, or one apart from, the
infinite; to be a part of that realm of helpers; to know self
as a part of and in that realm where the angels are, or in
that realm of the individuals who have been, who are, with
the Announcer, the Lord of the Way, and who have attained the
consciousness of the Christ-within.
9. (Q) What is meant by the Hidden Way?
(A) Just as we have been trying to explain to the entity -
the finding of the consciousness of self within as related
to, as being at-one with or as a part of, or separated from,
the whole.
For as was given so oft, this is found within. For thy body
is indeed the pattern of the heavenly body, yet it only grows
to same, as it grows away from same; though it may be within
the three-dimensional realm. This is the Hidden Way. For as
the entity uses, never abuses but uses self in service, it
finds the Way. For who is the greater among you? "He that
is the servant of all." Who would know the Hidden Way? They
who seek to do His biddings alone.
10. (Q) The Holy Breath?
(A) This is the same, only in activity; that is, one may be
aware of the at-onement but to see, to feel - There are not
words to express, for we are expressing same in material
terms or expressions of awarenesses in a consciousness made
known as it plays upon the attributes of a physical being.
As we say, the All-Seeing Eye of God, the All-Seeing Eye of
self can only be attained when in attune to God. And when
attuned, He hath breathed the Holy Breath on the activity of
the entity.
11. (Q) The light that cannot fail?
(A) This is the Christ. For it has succeeded, in that it
has in physical consciousness passed through and attained.
And when that light enters, by the individual entity opening
the consciousness of self to that abiding presence, the light
has entered.
What is light? That from which, through which, in which may
be found all things, out of which all things come. Thus the
first of everything that may be visible, in earth, in heaven,
in space, is of that light - IS that light!
12. (Q) The Book of Life?
(A) The record that the individual entity itself writes upon
the skein of time and space, through patience - and is opened
when self has attuned to the infinite, and may be read by
those attuning to that consciousness.
13. (Q) The Rolls of Graphael?
(A) The records of an individual, as an archangel. The
records of those activities with the Announcer, the Way, in
association with the CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS.
14. (Q) The Book of God's Remembrances?
(A) This is the Book of Life.
15. (Q) The Akashic Records?
(A) Those made by the individual, as just indicated.
16. (Q) God is the ten - the Holy Jod?
(A) This is an expression, not a fact - but that which leads
to, directs towards activity in the associations with others.
17. (Q) Any other suggestions?
(A) Be not faint of heart because ye have not been entrusted
with the Word, the Power attained to. Begin within self.
For thy activities are worthy. Don't abuse. Do use.
18. We are through.
