When I first bought this relatively expensive book I didn't realize that it is actually four books in one. The authors start their scientific analysis with a presentation of the basic Earth changes, as they relate to the Edgar Cayce Readings. They then move to an explanation of the kind of pole shift that they think will satisfy other readings. Because they believe that the achievement of the most severe Earth changes are conditional upon whether or not humanity will "turn about face and accept God," they have an extensive section on human responsibility as related to Earth changes. Finally, they present a detailed analysis of just how Edgar Cayce's readings were made, by reviewing what the readings themselves said about the channeling process. The authors address fully various factors that sometimes caused a "wavering" of truths channeled by Cayce and they reveal 12 possible sources that Cayce could tap for information when giving a reading. Such objectivity is quite welcome in a book dealing with psychic predictions, and I believe that the authors have handled this material with balance and honesty. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in Earth Changes from the perspective of the Edgar Cayce Readings.

This is actually five books in one. Although the price seems steep, at 571 pages including multitudes of charts, graphs, photographs, excerpts from Edgar Cayce's psychic readings, and a comprehensive index, it is well worth the price--a real reference manual for those interested in Cayce's trance readings on earth changes, lost continents, pole shift, and human inference in these effects.

William Hutton is a professor of geology with an impressive resume as an oceanographer and geophysical researcher with extensive university experience in both the U.S. and Canada with over 100 published articles and project reports. He writes under a pseudonym to preserve his professional integrity in the academic community. But, he is also fascinated with the Edgar Cayce's psychic readings on the geological past and future of our planet. He brings his scientific expertise to an exploration of the psychic's trance readings on the earth's catastrophic past and future.

Co-author Jonathan Eagle uses his technical expertise to produce pole shift models, charts, graphs and maps. For up-to-date bulletins on earth changes, visit their comprehensive web site at www.HuttonCommentaries.com.

The five books included within one cover are:

1. Earth Astir--Cataclysms and Catastrophes. This section describes earth's most active volcanoes and pinpoints those which may indicate global upheavals according to Cayce's psychic source. In this part of the book, the authors Hutton and Eagle also delineates earthquake zones, possible tsunamis including an Atlantic tsunami, and, what I like best, an explanation of the causes of earthquakes.

2. Pole Shift. An intriguing section contrasting the rotational poles and the magnetic poles in which the authors consider whether a pole shift is in progress at this time. They draft a pole shift model that explains Cayce's predictions of earth changes and then delineate the areas which will remain above water as safety lands.

3. Recovering History. This is my favorite of the sections because my own books describe my search for corroborative evidence of my hypnosis-induced Atlantean memories. This part is rich with excerpts from the Cayce readings on that famous lost continent. The authors pinpoint those areas of the earth which Cayce's source says are remnants of Atlantis and they also describe their recent geological explorations around the Bimini islands off Florida's east coast where Cayce said that if a geological survey were done, evidence of Atlantis would be found. In this fascinating section, the authors also discuss the lost continents of Lemuria and Latinia as well as new evidence that shows that the Amerindians could be Atlantean descendents. They also describe the locations where Cayce said records of the Atlanteans, including those describing the workings of their deadly Great Crystal may be unearthed.

4. Human Responsibility. An absolutely fascinating section on the effect of humanity's thoughts and behaviors on earth's stability or lack of it. Although one would expect this section would be about the environment and nuclear testing, it is surprisingly also about the U.S. obsession with pornography and lust. The authors correlate a possible preponderance of earthquakes in the Los Angeles area with the center of the porn industry being located in that area, again turning to the Cayce readings, which emphasize that humanity has far-reaching effects on the planet. This chapter also addresses earth changes, Divine Law and visions of an age-ending fire in comparison with the deluge which ended the last age and each individual's responsibility in this precarious time of great change.

5. Reliability and Truth. A chapter on the reliability of Cayce's source.

Carole Chapman is the author of When We Were Gods and Blessed.

Having worked for years at a U. S. Government weapons laboratory, I am familiar with the final storage of plutonium at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. This book states that there may be a connection between the coming sinking of "the southern portions of Carolina and Georgia" that would nullify adverse environmental effects of the huge store of plutonium there. Other locations of plutonium are mentioned as well, and all of them are in earthquake prone areas. I like the way that the authors have referred to Rolling Thunder's view about man's pollution causing earth changes and relating these to the Cayce predictions. This chapter makes a good case for man's inability to handle the radioactivity he has collected together at earth's surface, and the
consequences that may result from that activity.

The authors' discussion of geologic evidence leading to a Pole Shift is stimulating to the scientific mind. However, the section on Human Responsibility: "Human Accountability", "The Developing Religious War", "Earth Changes and Compliance with Divine Law" culminating in "The Answer To World Conditions Today" makes a fascinating contribution to an explanation of why we're here and what our future and that of the earth might be.

I was impressed with the thoroughness that the authors displayed in their coverage of what they refer to as "indicator volcanoes," and the "greater activities" by which three specific volcanoes will indicate when Earth changes and floodings are to strike in the western U. S. and around the shores of the southern Pacific Ocean. The authors also deal with Cayce readings that talk about torrid area volcanoes that will erupt prior to a shift in the poles of Earth's rotational axis. These volcanoes will erupt in response to some sort of upheavals in the arctic and the antarctic regions. The authors provide evidence that in 1999 there were upheavals of lava on the floor of the arctic ocean northwest of Europe that may have caused torrid area volcanoes to erupt. Then, in what may be an original research finding, they show that the big Alaskan earthquake of 2003 led almost immediately to eruptions of two, maybe three, volcanoes in Ecuador, indicating that the Cayce prediction came true. If so, maybe we can expect a pole shift soon. Speaking of the Cayce readings' pole shift, the authors seem to think that the many other Earth changes predicted by Cayce will occur as a result of the shift of the poles. This pole-shift part of the book takes some study to understand. The authors think the shift will be small. They have a table in the back that indicates how the elevations of various cities will change relative to sea level, as a result of using their computer model. Would you believe that Miami will rise 908 ft, Honolulu will sink 171 ft, Los Angeles will rise 634 ft, London will rise 710 ft, Moscow will sink 149 ft, and Tokyo will sink 1126 ft? No wonder that a reading says that the greater portion of Japan will go into the sea, presumably with pole shift. All in all this is a fascinating and challenging book from may angles. The authors have convinced me, at least, that pole shift and Earth changes may really be future events to consider and even, perhaps, to prepare for.

The subjects of "Earth changes" and "pole shift" are dominant themes in this book, based upon several of Edgar Cayce's psychic readings. One reading even speaks of the greater portion of Japan going into the sea (during a pole shift) and the breakup of the earth in western America. Another reading predicts the destruction of San Francisco and Los Angeles, "before New York even." The authors explain how these events could take place given an understanding of the science of geology as it is practiced today. Humanity has some responsibility for some of the disasters to happen, it would seem, for in a chapter dealing with pornography, lust, and Los Angeles earthquakes, the authors assert that "as the present culture of science and materialism comes to a climax, it has to be destroyed. A 'flood' comes - namely violence, lust, barbarism, spiritual wickedness, and loss of truth. Then an ark is made to survive the flood and keep alive knowledge for the next culture, in the next cycle." This book presents readings' ideas about how to build one's own (psychological) ark. I particularly like the chapters about how to awaken to the new spiritual imperatives before us, and how to be worthy enough to be a part of the purity of the new cycle.

Linking belief with science and then altering belief or the science as either doesn't add up to an answer, is anywhere between pointless, irritating, misleading and perhaps even a miscarriage of a sensible approach to life in general. Additionally, linking a multitude of different events based on a possible magnetic pole shift, that some scientists say shouldn't have any ill effects, is far-fetched. Given that I paid $45 for a used copy, I'd say that's what irritated me the most. And the book makes a big deal about intra-plate earthquakes in on place - believe it or not they are geologically quite common and are generally as a result of the existence of fault zones, that some time in the distant future, may or may not turn into inter-plate rifts. I have not much read much of this book, maybe 80 pages but I am both annoyed with myself and intrigued, but I have however stopped reading the predictive parts because they are like Nostradamus; mostly meaningless. Maybe Edgar Cayce was good. I can't dispute that because I know nothing about him. However, it is a known fact that Nostradamus was an expert herbalist; meaning he likely regularly ate things like magic mushrooms and the like, and probably spent a lot of his time hallucinating :)
