Description

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called 'the Sleeping Prophet,' 'the father of Holistic medicine,' 'the miracle man of Virginia Beach,' and 'the most documented psychic of all time.' During Cayce's lifetime, he gave more than 14,000 psychic readings that discussed an amazing 10,000 different subjects. One of the most fascinating topics of the readings is Atlantis. According to the readings, not only did Atlantis exist, but the breadth of technology and industry was superior at that time. In fact, it was that civilization's unique use of a type of crystal energy that eventually led to the downfall of Atlantis over a period of several thousand years, as it broke apart and fell into the ocean. After a number of individuals, who were given past-life readings by Edgar Cayce, were told that they had been incarnated during a time in Atlantis, a group of people, staff members who were working with Edgar Cayce, decided to get a series of readings devoted solely to understanding Atlantis. These readings were not given for individuals but for this group seeking information on this ancient and legendary land. In Atlantis, these readings can be found in their entirety.… (more)

Edgar Cayce allegedly feel and hit his head, knocking himself unconcious, and when he awoke he was transformed into the "sleeping clairvoyant" who made predictions and prophecies, and tended to "spriritual" matters, such as telling you how to keep your kharma cool. I predict: It could happen.

Fun,

but a bit spooky. I don't know about you, but I'm about to invest in a diving suit with a metal space helmet and lead-loaded sneakers . . .

This is yet another Cayce book written not by Edgar, but at least by some people in the Cayce family.

A very vague picture and chronology of Atlantis can be gathered from the Cayce readings given here. The topic is just as much on reincarnation as it is Atlantis. I read it a very long time ago and

really don't remember very much at all. I often wonder what the point is of reincarnating at all if you can't remember anything and the world is just as horrible, if not more so, than in any other age. Yes, I am the borne cynic. I must be the incarnation of one of those fellows who blew the place up, and I would do it again in this age!!!!!

Joking aside, what I find most interesting is the picture of Atlantis painted by Cayce's readings. If nothing else, it is one of the grandest mythologies ever created.

I'm sure I would have much more to say were I to reread it, which I might do after researching more into Atlantis. A recent news story dated January 19, 2010, claims archeologists feel they might have located Atlantis in Southern Spain—a 3000 year old buried settlement in the marshes of the Andalusian parkland...

"The theory is just the latest in a long list of suggested locations for Atlantis, including various Mediterranean islands, the Azores, the Sahara desert, Central America and Antarctica."
