EDGAR CAYCE ON ATLANTIS

[DK]ITEM DK54e…EDGAR CAYCE ON ATLANTIS $4

Miscellaneous personal notes on the content of this book:

Pages 17-29: COMMON SOURCE ARGUMENTS:

Cayce grandson first surveys the legend of Atlantis; origin in Plato’s DIALOGUES; Ignatius Donnelly’s 1882 book [ITEM in store] brings the story back to public attention; 1949 revision of Donnelly’s book by Egerton Sykes re-popularizes the issue [ITEM in store]; Donnelly has 626 reference sources comparing similarities in far-flung places on the planet – this is circumstantial evidence of a common source – common source is Donnelly/Sykes main argument.  Note: the same data is used by James Churchward in his five Mu books [ITEMS in store] to establish existence of Lemuria [passim Cayce comment on Churchward on p.91] and by others to substantiate the other three of the five lost continents: Oz, Om, On.  [Cayce reference to those three p.93, 114].  MY COMMENT: The common source argument can be defeated because synchronicity is not subject to chronological time. 

Page 20ff:  SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS:

Grandson next surveys additional scientific evidence: p.20 the lava decomposition argument; p.21 the ocean floor terrain argument; discusses unconvincing counter-arguments in Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science; [ITEM in store] general survey of other literature, all prior to 1968 (the original publication date of this book) which are now all somewhat dated.  The scientific arguments also fail because they presuppose chronological time:   we now know from quantum physics that an effect can precede a cause.

Page 26ff:  PARANORMAL ARGUMENTS:

Query (p.26):  How does this connect with Edgar Cayce?  Answer: 700 of the 1600 entities who received Cayce’s readings mentioned prior existence in Atlantis.  This is the paranormal argument I’ve dealt with in South of Tuk [see http://southoftuk.blogspot.ca/ ]and which I experienced in past life regression while a member of the Children of Perfection and subsequently.  From p.27 he discusses law of karma causing many entities to re-incarnate simultaneously to correct prior-life errors/make progress on uncompleted tasks.  I have commented on this theme elsewhere:  over 100,000 of today’s City of Brampton residents are re-incarnations of entities that lived near or in Jerusalem at the time of Jeremiah.  Cayce says:

“when many entities who have lived together at one period of time again re-incarnate in another era, group or national tendencies become apparent”(p.27); “if we are usually associated with people that we have known in past lives, it is likely that many problems [in this life] may be the results of our actions at that time”(p.73).

Hence, Cayce’s purpose is primarily therapeutic.

Pages 30-47 deals with life readings and re-incarnation, summed up in two comments:

“readings indicate that the will of the individual, together with influences from past incarnations, affect a person’s present life much more than any astrological influences”(p.35); “readings imply the existence of a soul, the survival of one’s personality after death and the concepts of reincarnation and karma”(p.39).

Pages 48-164 discusses the actual readings, extracting Atlantis information.  The things of interest to me are:

*p.54 references to axial shift of the planet, also p.78

*discussion of crystal power used in Atlantis is on p.74, 76, 79, 81, 83, 86, 87, 100.  These took several forms:  an external form used to operate machinery (without energy loss or environmental damage), etc; and an internal form used from within the human body for mind control, etc.

*Cayce’s Exodus date is much earlier than commonly accepted in 1968 (p.94)

*Jehovah and Satan may be distorted memories of actual individuals living in Atlantis (p.100)

*discussion of the deliberate creation of a slave race (p.101-7,121,133,134)

*discussion of the detriment of ownership (p.162-3) reminds me of some of my own work, e.g. The Possession Engram

*Cayce’s body creation summary parallels the Children of Perfection interpretation of certain biblical passages (p.82) and he refers also to The Book of the Hopi [look for ITEM AN34 in Catalog AH in this store] for similar theory

*Cayce’s summary of The Law of One parallels Churchward’s description (p.104)

*Edgar Cayce’s personal all-lives history parallels the incarnations of Moses as described in The Moses Legacy (p.150)[see http://nebirucrossing.blogspot.ca/2011/03/review-moses-legacy-phillips.html ]
