Cayce is compelling and so is this book!, March 4, 2000
This review is from: The Edgar Cayce Companion: A Comprehensive Treatise of the Edgar Cayce Readings (Paperback)
This reviewer read about Cayce over a decade ago. Though I am a Hindu, what Cayce said both in his waking life and during his readings impressed me profoundly! He speaks about basic values that cut across religious boundaries and go straight to the heart! As I read more of Cayce I felt very keenly the want of a book which would provide a handy compendium of what he said and spoke about (on topics as diverse as Life, Death and Religion to how best to care for one's teeth!). This book provides exactly that! It is inspiring, it is handy and you cannot read it without feeling impelled to take a fresh look at your own life and the world and the people around you. However, you need to remember that Cayce's advice was both general and specific to persons. So read the book carefully and follow it wisely and your life will be the richer for it. Highly recommended!

An Epiphany for the Imprisoned Fundamentalist, May 18, 2000
This review is from: The Edgar Cayce Companion: A Comprehensive Treatise of the Edgar Cayce Readings (Paperback)
Coming from a very apocalyptic religious background, I was fearful to even open this book. I knew when ordering it that it would deal with such "heretical" concepts as past lives. However, I am so very glad I purchased it! This companion quotes directly from Cayce's readings, and at length, but not simply on past lives. There is poignant affirmation and revelation pertaining to God, soul development, reincarnation, death and life, soul mates, Jesus, even nutrition. I would be lying if I did not admit that this book testified to something deep within me. Simply seemed logical, each page, and as a result, so freeing! I am not asserting that all things proceeding from Cayce's mouth are infallible---I'm too much of a Cacye novice to say anything of the sort. But his beliefs, concepts and practical applications certainly add some much-needed "gray" to the harsh black and white mentality of today's religions. How foolish it is to actually believe that God, in his infinite grandeur, can be contained in entirety within the confines of the Bible! Common sense, as well as resources such as this particular companion, will open the eyes of anyone longing to explore spiritual truths and lead richer, fuller lives. I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to anyone truly seeking something more, something real, something eternal.

Two years later, it's the same gig, August 2, 2002
This review is from: The Edgar Cayce Companion: A Comprehensive Treatise of the Edgar Cayce Readings (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite books. It's curious to me how I come across in the review below, all those months ago. Since that writing, I have come a long way in my spirituality, and Edgar Cayce (and this book, quite truthfully) played an important role in that. This book is comprised of Cayce's readings and covers a broad array of topics. It is engrossing. I have it on my nightstand and reference it often. Still. I am no longer worried about my past fundamentalism. I am, however, still stoking the fire ignited by my interest in Cayce, and spurred on by this book. I truly would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject of PSI or the man himself. Peace.
