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!

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.

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.

Of all the books I have ever read on Cayce, this is the most informative and useful. It contains direct quotes from thousands of readings, with over 200 different topics covered. You'll find some of Cayce's most inspiring quotes here. I use this book every day to send inspirational quotes to my mailing list, and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in delving into Cayce's readings.

This book contains ALL of the most important DIRECT quotations that were ever voiced THROUGH the sleeping body of Edgar Cayce.

This book, "There is a River" and "Edgar Cayce's Story of Jesus" are the three most imortant books ever written concerning America's greatest psychic.

Have studied the Cayce Materials for over four decades -- along with many other metaphysical writers. Cayce was a trance medium who when in trance state contacted sources from the other side or overself.

This is an excellent reference. Cayce presented much data for the enrichment of self and this book shows the variety of his trance work.

His materials are not easily read -- for the subjects are complex ---and written in a style of English no longer used. But study of the data will make clear the subject.

I recommend the book highly....RR

Just wanted to say that I received my book and it was in great condition. I also got the package fairly quickly. Thank you.

I am a fan of Cayce but find the antiquated wording of the readings a real drag to read. This book is nothing but a bunch of readings grouped under topic headings. No further explanation or interpretation given. If you don't mind this then you'll like the book. If you find your eyes glaze over when reading Cayce-ese like mine then keep looking.

this was a gift for my boyfriend and from what he told me this book was great!

Buy This Book and you'll not regret it!

Also,I feel obligated to comment on a Reviewer's quote from a Cayce reading and stated "Cayce's readings are NOT ALL correct and they sometimes originated from spiritual darkness!"

The quote he inserted was not in its' entirety such as in where he, the reveiwer states, "In reading #1472-14 he (Cayce) said", ('IT IS NOT MEANT THAT INFORMATION GIVEN THROUGH THIS CHANNEL SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS BEING INFALLIBLE.')

I felt that in all fairness it should be read and taken as intended for the recipient it (the reading) was given to, so therefore I have included the entire two paragraphs from the reading itself, that pertain to this particular EC quote.

(Q) As far as I know I followed all instructions given me through this source in all former Rdgs. and would therefore be grateful to be told why I received no help through the information, that I may now correct the cause of former failures in order to make this Rdg. and the advice it offers more effective.

(A) Because they didn't do what was indicated to be done! It was not always the fault of the body, [1472]. Mostly it was because of the manner in which administrations were made by others. These as we find are the faults, if faults they be.

It is not meant that information given through this channel should be interpreted as being infallible, but these are the conditions existent as viewed from the condition of the individual entity.

The interpreting of the information in the minds of others, as well as the manner in which the individual entity is influenced by others - by their material or physical knowledge, does not imply that the information given is incorrect. But it does imply that if these are met under certain other administrations, and done in the same manner and attitude that the information may be given, there may be produced a oneness - and response in its own kind.
READING 1472-14

Again the same reviewer wrote: In #531-2 he posed the question, 'WHAT PREVENTS THE INFORMATION FROM ALWAYS BEING ACCURATE, OR BEING WHOLLY OF UNQUESTIONABLE NATURE?' before continuing on with an impossibly convoluted answer! This is YOUR spiritual development we're talking about here; no small matter! Do you REALLY trust your own judgement sufficiently to always be able to discern which of Cayce's readings are Divine and which are a demonic deception?

Below is the two paragraphs from the original reading. And if read accurately with an open heart and mind, it will and does make perfect sense. Of course if one were 'looking' for evil, then they shall certainly find it somewhere within their own mind, even if it doesn't truely exist, but I have yet to find any so-called "demonic deception" in any of Cayce's readings....Ever! And I have encountered nothing of this "spiritual darkness' that was spoken of by the reviewer and have lost nothing from my own personal 'indepth' studies of the readings except a portion of my own selfish nature, in which is a blessing.

EC reading 531-2:

The soul of the seeker being passive, and the soul of the individual through whom information comes being positive (as the physical is subjugated into unconsciousness) goes out on the forces that are in activity by being guided by suggestion to that individual place of the seeker. And the souls commune one with another.

9. Then, it is asked, what prevents the information from always being accurate, or being wholly of unquestionable nature? The fact that such information must be interpreted in material things. And that then depends upon how well the training of the physical-mental self is in picturizing, visualizing and wording that which takes place in such a communion.
READING 531-2

Quote: MANY of his Earth changes prophecies have proven to be inaccurate. Jesus did not return in 1998 (#5748-5); The poles did not shift in 2000 or 2001 (#826-8), et al.

These are not inacurate! These are wrong 'only' according to an individuals own personal interpretaion or in this case 'mis-interpretation'.

Jesus did return in 1998, the proof is in the spirtual awakening that has occurred world-wide since 1998.

The poles 'are' shifting right now and there are plenty of 'scientific evidence' and articles to back this up.

If you want to grow spiritually and want to understand lifes real purposes, then adding "The Edgar Cayce Companion: A Comprehensive Treatise of the Edgar Cayce Readings" to your collection is a must!

Please, there are many Edgar Cayce critics out there that have tried (in vain) to defame this spritual God-loving individual, all because of the selfish deceptions of ignorance. Please do yourself a favour, buy this book and keep it along side the greatest book of all, your Bible, It is an worthy companion and helpmeet in your search for True enlightenment.
