FROM MYSTERIES OF ATLANTIS Edgar Evans Cayce (Son of E.C.) Virginia Beach, Virginia E D G A R C A Y C E' S S T O R Y O F A T L A N T I S We will look here at Cayce's description of Atlantis as pieced together from his journeys through time. The chapter is organized chronologically, beginning with the entrance of human beings onto the physical plane 10 million years ago, and ending with the final migrations from Atlantis. This story presents a very different view of the past than that accepted by science in Cayce's time. It challenged the scientific view by speaking of great catastrophes, as recently as 10,000 BC, in which islands and even an entire con- tinent sank beneath the sea. Yet, it did not simply follow Plato or the occultists. The Cayce story tells of multiple Atlantean catastrophes that occurred at intervals over a span of 40,000 years, not destruction in a single day and night, as narrated by Plato. Like Donnelly, the Cayce readings speak of migrations throughout the world, yet the Cayce description of the result of these migrations goes far beyond Donnelly. The Cayce Atlantis, with its high technological achievements and great moral conflicts, resembles the world of today more than the orthodox concept of the ancient world, or even the world of Cayce's day. more........

What makes the Atlantis readings special? Like all life readings, they were given to help individuals understand and answer the questions and problems they might have in their present lifetimes. In the case of people with past incarnations in Atlantis, the problems have a special urgency, both for the people themselves and the world at large. According to Cayce, many people who lived in Atlantis were active, influencial and capable inividuals. These Atlanteans are incarnating again into the world today. Because their influence on world civilization was so great in the past, it is likely they may once again greatly influence world events.
Cayce expressed that thought this way: "Be it true that there is the fact of rein- carnation, and that souls that once occupied such an environ (Atlantis) are entering the earth's sphere and inhabiting individuals in the present, is it any wonder that - if they made such alterations in the affairs of the earth in their day, as to bring destruction upon themselves - if they are entering now, they might make changes in the affairs of peoples and individuals in the present?" no.364-4, February 3, 1932). And elsewhere: "We meet few people by chance, but all are opportunities in one experience or another. We are due them or they are due us certain considerations" (no3246-1, September 28, 1943).
If what Cayce said is true, many of our problems with others may be left over from some past experience. If they are not solved now, they may well return to haunt us in future incarnations. Carrying this thought a step farther, if many individuals who had incarnations in Atlantis are returning to earth now, they may be returning to the same problems that caused such turmoil in Atlantis.

It is not too difficult to draw parallels between the Atlantean civilization described by Edgar Cayce and that of the United States today. Both developed a highly technical society. Both were world powers and both were plagued with racial or social problems. Both developed weaponry that, if misused, could destroy their own country and even affect world climate.
In Atlantis, the worst happened - not once, but on three different occasions, the last resulting in the final distruction and sinking of the country. It is little wonder that many of the life readings that gave Atlantean incarnations were filled with warnings to individuals about the misuse of their abilities. Individuals who had misused their talents once before might easily follow the path of least resistance and misuse them again.
Not everone who lived in Atlantis was a"bad guy". Many of the incarnations there were depicted as ones where the individuals had "gained", as Cayce put it, or had improved their understanding of their relationship to God and others. Certainly one message of the life readings is that it is possible to live a constructive life under any circumstances.
If the idea of reincarnation disturbs you, Cayce's story of humankind's coming into being in Atlantis and the philosophy involved may disturb you even more. It will probably neither the evolutionists nor the creationists, for it contains a little of both theories plus a host of other material that challenges the dogma of many disciplines. I do not ask that you change your beliefs, only that you read with an open mind, particularly in light of the discoveries made and the events that have transpired since these readings were given.

Thank you, Unknown.
It's Saturday night. I am on dial-up, with 'call wave'. Everybody and his brother has been calling me. You'd think they (being young) would have better to do than call this old woman.
It's very hard to get in and out of something like this. Truthfully, it has been so many years that I have read this book (just went to certain needed sections, when the occasion arose), that I am enjoying it immensely and I HATE being interrupted!
Love and Peace, Bianca

MYSTERIES OF ATLANTIS -
Edgar Evans Cayce (E.C.'s Son)
continued:
P I E C I N G T O G E T H E R T H E C A Y C E S T O R Y
In contrast to Plato, Donnelly or even occultists like Steiner, Edgar Cayce wrote no books on Atlantis. We must piece the story together from the nearly 700 individual life readings, given over a twenty year period, that mention one or more Atlantean incarnations. This set of readings comprises a little less than 30% of the approximately 2500 readings.
Weaving the Atlantis story together from the life readings is a formidable task for two reasons. First, most of the remarks about Atlantis, or any other country, were in the nature of asides. The readings gave reasons for an individual's urges, tendencies and personal characteristics, and even mental and physical abilities and disabilities; but they did not describe at length the times and places in which the person lived.
Second, few dates were given for the time of any particular incarnation. Because incarnations in Atlantis extended far into prehistory, it was difficult to tell how long ago the incarnation occurred.
Admittedly, much of the story is sketchy. But, in spite ofthese problems, many readings contained remarks about the customs or the times, and a few gave specific dates. Many of the remarks are at odds with conventional thinking, many of them sound as fantastic as any science fiction story and just as unbelievable. As I (Edgar Evans Cayce) sifted through the kaleidoscope of lives, however, I was impresssed by the INTERNAL CONSISTENCY of the information. Here were readings given as much as twenty years apart, for different individuals, which agreed in minute detail. There were few contradictions between readings for the same or different individuals given years apart. Names for over 400 different people were given in the Atlantis readings, with no confusion.
Cayce recounts three major periods of earth changes involving volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tidal waves and sinking land, occurring between 50,000 and 10,000 BC:
. The first occurred about 50,000BC when a portion of the continent was destroyed.
. The second occurred around 28,000 BC, when the remaining land was split into islands.
. The final destruction occurred around 10,000BC when the last islands were submerged. (This is undoubtedly the destruction to which Plato referred.

These were not the only earch changes that ever occurred in Atlantis; other dates were mentioned. However, it was in these three periods that major changes came about, the shape of the land area was changed and large numbers of people were forced to flee or migrate to other lands.
To find out what Edgar Cayce had to say about Atlantis, we read each of the 700 readings that mentioned it. We copied out paragraphs referring to Atlantis and attempted to arrange the data in chronological order. We ended up taking the three periods of catastrophic destruction, each of which was associated with a specific date, as highlights of Atlantean history and tried to associate the referen- ces we had accumulate to one of these periods. Cayce often referred to these periods as the first, second and final period of turmoil and detruction. When a particular life reading stated that the person had lived in Atlantis "before the first destruction" or after the period of the second destruction, or that he or she had migrated to another country during the final destruction, it was possible to place that individual roughly in a time slot. Unfortunately, many readings did not mention one of the destructions, and it was thus impossible to fix the approximate time of that person's incarnation.
The 700 Atlantean readings are associated with these time periods as follows:
A. Associated with first destruction, 50,000 BC 21 B. Associated with second destruction 28,000 BC 52 C. Associated with final destruction 10,000 BC 352 D. Of indeterminate date 275

I have been fascinated by Cayce since I first picked up "There is a River," at the public library. I hope Falwell doesn't drive them out of Virginia Beach!
Well, I'll let you get back to it,

Based on the general descriptions of situations and customs, we believe the majo- rity of the readings listed as "of indeterminate date" fall somewhere in the period between 50,000 and 10,000 BC, with the majority falling near the more recent date.
Cayce did not mention every incarnation an individual had experienced, but only those that had the most influence on his present life. In most life readings, pre- vious lives were spaced out several hundred years going back from the present. Generally, Atlantean incarnations were the oldest and some individuals had two or more incarnations in Atlantis. It seems probable that more recent lives would have more effect on an individual's present one than a life lived many thousands of years ago, because the person would have had time to work out many pro- blems. The vast majority of Atlantean incarnations, said by Cayce to have an influence on the person's present life, occurred around 10,000 BC. One other factor that may have contributed to this lopsided distribution is the fact that Edgar Cayce himself had an incarnation in Egypt around 10,000 BC and many Atlanteans migrated there to escape the sinking of the last islands. Because they were asso- ciated with Cayce then, they were drawn to him to this life and obtained both physical and life readings, which in turn influenced the statistics.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, Pat and Jerry are sure wonderful examples of Christian tolerance, aren't they?
Don't forget that Haggard guy out in Colorado, who made a living pushing amendments against gay marriage, all the time being gay himself.
Nice work, Bianca, I wonder if Cayce would recognize anything Christian about today's evangelicals?

No I don't believe he would recognize their version of christianity, that being said I hope they will both actually read the new testament at some point.

Yeah, for invoking the name of Jesus as often as they do, they sure seem to ignore Jesus' teachings a lot.
No kidding, Robertson is really buying up alll the land around there?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yah, I know at one point he had a smear campaign going against them. I don't really know if its still going on.
I had given a book on Cayce to my mom and grandma about 10 years back, and they just loved him and bought up all the books on him, well then they heard the evangelists and they threw out all their Cayce books.
Cayce's ability to heal was astounding and many of the things he recommended at the time are now in use, for instance he told people with heart trouble to eat bannana's which are rich in potasium great for the heart.
The whole thing about him predicting were the dead sea scrolls would be found is pretty amazing, its even more amazing when you consider that most everything he said about the essenses at the time, they laughed at, but now we are discovering he was right.
Some of the cayce stuff is really out there though... « Last Edit: February 25, 2007, 12:22:13 pm by unknown » Report to moderator Logged
