Edgar
Cayce, Famous American
Psychic
Edgar Cayce was born in 1877 and died in
1945. He is generally remembered as an American
psychic who gave trance discourses on subjects
like health and cures, astrology,
reincarnation, and lost civilizations. While in
trance, he could respond to virtually any
question asked. His responses have come to be
called "readings".
Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 "readings"
between1901 and 1944. These are trance
discourses which Cayce revealed while in a
hypnotic or "sleeping" state. While "awake" he
claimed generally not to remember what he had
said while "asleep".
The Association for Research and
Enlightenment (A.R.E), headquartered in
Virginia Beach, is the major organization
promoting interest in Cayce. Edgar Cayce
Centers are now found in 25 other
countries.
The readings are customarily divided into
the following categories:
Health Readings..........9603 Life
Readings............1920 Business

EDGAR CAYCE ON ORIGIN AND DESTINY OF
HUMANITY:
"All souls were created in the beginning,
and are finding their way back to whence they
came." The Earth, with all its limitations, was
created as a suitable arena for spiritual
growth.
EDGAR CAYCE ON DUALITY:
According to Cayce, Atlantean society was
divided into two long-lived political factions
- a "good" faction called the "Sons of the Law
of One," and an "evil" faction called the "Sons
of Belial." According to the readings, a major
source of turmoil was the Sons of Belial's
desire to exploit the Things, sub-humans with
animal appendages and low intelligence, and the
movements to protect and evolve them by the
Sons of the Law of One.
EDGAR CAYCE ON UNIVERSAL
LAWS:
Souls incarnated on the earth are subject to
certain spiritual laws such as, "As ye sow, so
shall ye reap" (karma) or "As ye judge
(others), so shall ye be judged." Properly
regarded, such laws represent an aspect of
God's mercy whereby no matter what our
circumstances, he has promised to guide us in
our spiritual path.
EDGAR CAYCE ON JESUS AND CHRIST
CONSCIOUSNESS:
Jesus was a soul like us, who reincarnated
through many lifetimes (and made many
mistakes). "Christhood" is something which he
achieved, and to which we also ought to aspire.
Cayce accordingly calls Jesus our "elder
brother."
EDGAR CAYCE ON UNKNOWN LIFE OF
JESUS:
Cayce presented narratives of Jesus'
previous incarnations, including a mysterious
Atlantean figure called "Amilius" as well as
the more familiar biblical figures of Adam,
Enoch, Melchizedek, Joshua, Asaph, and Jeshua.
Cayce describes Jesus as an Essene who traveled
to India in his youth in order to study Eastern
religions.
EDGAR CAYCE ON REINCARNATION AND
PAST LIVES:
Edgar Cayce found that the concept of
reincarnation was not incompatible with any
religion, and actually merged perfectly with
his own beliefs of what it meant to be a
Christian. Eventually the subject of
reincarnation was examined in extensive detail
in over 1,900 Life Readings.
EDGAR CAYCE ON THE
ATLANTIS:
The Cayce readings affirm the existence of
Atlantis, a vast continent with an advanced
technology whose refugees peopled ancient Egypt
as well as pre-Columbian America.
EDGAR CAYCE ON EGYPT:
Next to biblical times, the most significant
era for the "life readings" was a pre-dynastic
Egyptian civilization consisting of Atlantean
refugees. Cayce purported to have been an
otherwise unknown pharoah named "Ra Ta" who
built a spiritually-based healing center (the
"Temple of Sacrifice") and educational
institution (the "Temple Beautiful"). His
diagnostic readings and narratives about the
past and future were supposed to be a
continuation of his ancient work. This
civilization also built monuments on the Giza
plateau, including the Great Pyramid, and left
records of Atlantis in a "hall of records"
located somewhere beneath the Sphinx. These
readings bear a close resemblance to books by
AMORC founder H. Spencer Lewis.
He prophecized the Sphinx had been built in
10,500 BC and that survivors of Atlantis had
concealed beneath it a "Hall of Records"
containing all the wisdom of their lost
civilization and the true history of the human
race. Cayce prophesied that this Hall of
Records would be rediscovered and opened
between 1996 and 1998.
EDGAR CAYCE ON EARTH
CHANGES:
Some Cayce readings allude to massive Earth
changes - perhaps in conjunction with a pole
shift - in the 1930s, 1960s, or 1990s. Cayce
people have developed several creative ways of
interpreting such passages, although some were
disappointed with the failure of 1998 to bring
either the rising of Atlantis, the sinking of
California, or the Second Coming of Christ.
Other predictions were about dramatic changes
in the Earth's surface in the period from 1958
to 1998 due to a tilting in the Earth's
rotational axis which would begin in
1936.Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com
