The Lives of Edgar Cayce

Summary: Required Reading For All Followers Of The Law Of One
Review: Any fan of Edgar Cayce and his psychic readings will want to read this book which describes events that occurred in the more significant incarnations of this very unusual individual.

The value of this book is not only the descriptions of each of Cayce's past life separately but also how his past lives affected his later incarnations.

Many examples are provided of how choices (both positive and negative) made in one life caused effects in a future life. This is called the law of kharma.

I doubt if there's any other source of information available that can provide this type of insight into the process of reincarnation. For most of us this type of information remains mainly at the subconscious level while we travel through our earthly lives.

This is one of Edgar Cayce's greatest legacies.

There's also a tremendous amount of other information besides Cayce's experiences in this earthly realm. Cayce interacted with incarnations of the Christ spirit in some of his past lives as well as with Abraham in the bible and other famous historical figures.

The sceptic will find it hard to believe that one person would have had experiences involving so many significant historical events and so many historical figures. However the reason for this is that Cayce himself is an historical figure and he is a very spiritually oriented person. Often when people like this are reincarnated they reach a level of fame and recognition and they share experiences with similar types of souls.

Not all of Cayce's past life experiences were positive by the way. He was the one who got tricked into letting the Greeks bring the Trojan horse into Troy and then he committed suicide. He hit rock bottom during his two incarnations as the soldier of fortune John Bainbridge, going so far as to use his psychic powers to make money gambling.

At times the Edgar Cayce soul entity had problems in two areas which are problematic for many people; sexuality and a feeling of racial superiority. As the law of kharma says must happen he experienced the negative effects of these things himself in the most heart breaking and brutal ways. Unfortunately the mistakes we make often affect not only ourselves but those we are closest to.

The author indicates that Cayce gave specific dates for the second coming of Christ and Cayce's next incarnation. The year for both of these events is given as 1998.

Since this year has already passed the questions are:

1) have these things happened but we don't realize it yet ?

2) did Cayce really say '98 (as he sometimes did) and mean for example some other year ending in '98' such as 2098 or even 3098 ? (this seems doubtful because the author is an expert on the Cayce readings.)

3) did Cayce really mean 1998 but some other misunderstandings occurred when the readings were recorded or interpreted ?

4) was Cayce wrong about the year for these events ? since he was right very often this is an interersting question.

I don't know the answers to these questions. I did order a book entitled 'Edgar Cayce In Context' which may help with putting Cayce's psychic prophecies into perspective. I haven't received or read this book yet.
