A Lovely Wee Book,
By
This review is from: Edgar Cayce on Rejuvenation of the Body (A.R.E. Membership Series) (Paperback)
Describes the health of the body in terms of its connection with spirit which acts through the endocrine system and especially the spiritual centers. Excellent chapter on meditation and how the words in the Lord's Prayer activate the chakras or spiritual centers.
Originally, I sought out this book because I wanted to know more about the radio-active appliance (not nuclear, it means radio waves) also known as the impedance device which was invented by the psychic Edgar Cayce while in trance. Since Cayce's source said that the radio-active appliance, if used properly, could prolong a person's life by half again, I assumed it would be mentioned in a book describing Cayce's views on how to rejuvenate the body. However, although the radio-active appliance and another of Cayce's trance inventions the West Cell Battery are mentioned, I have actually learned more about why a positive attitude while using them is so important from another little book, the lovely Edgar Cayce on the Indigo Children, which emphasizes Cayce's precepts as far as the raising children. By the way, if you want to know how to use the radio-active appliance, you won't find the information in either of these two books. However, you can find articles and testimonials by doing a Google or some other search engine search. In addition, if you're interested in learning about many of the home cures suggested by Cayce in trance, a great book is Harold Reilly's The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health Through Drugless Therapy. Another book that describes the seer's healing philosophy plus suggested preparations is written by Doctor William McGary called The Edgar Cayce Remedies. OK, now back to the book at hand. Much of Edgar Cayce on Rejuvenation of the Body reads like a simplified description of the workings of the body . . . but . . . from the point of view of Cayce's trance source. I found it really outstanding in its explanation of Cayce's philosophy describing how spirit works to heal the body, including the usefulness of the laying on of hands. I loved the section on the importance of fresh air walks in the chapter on Exercise and Rest. Furthermore, I found the first chapter on "Fundamentals of Healing" very helpful to read while USING the radio-active appliance as a means of elevating my mood as well as keeping me encouraged and expectant of positive results. I also found the final chapter on Meditation especially useful since Cayce suggests that while using the radio-active appliance it is helpful to use the time as a period of meditation. Actually, for such a small, wee book, of only 91 pages, it packs a pretty big wallop. by Carol Chapman, photographer for Divine in Nature: With Quotes from Edgar Cayce and author of When We Were Gods: Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening.

Does not live up to its title,
By Anyman (Cyberspace) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edgar Cayce on Rejuvenation of the Body (A.R.E. Membership Series) (Paperback)
I believe that the idea behind this book is excellent, but I am dissapointed with the book for a number of reasons: An absolutely essential part of rejuvenation, and in fact of good health in general, according to Edgar Cayce, is assimilation and elimination - yet, the coverage given these crucial areas, is hardly worth mentioning. Under the heading, The Digestive System, there is very little material, and much of this is about various types of foods, which in my opinion belong under the heading, Diet, not under The Digestive System - some very basic explanation about how the digestive system works is included, but really nothing about what Cayce had to say about this system - yet, this book purports to be Edgar Cayce's approach!? Furthermore, Cayce stressed how vitally important, even life saving, it could be to cleanse the digestive system of old, accumulated debris - yet, the authors mention nothing of apple fasts, colonic cleansing, castor oil packs, etc. - how can one speak of Edgar Cayce's approach to rejuvenation of the body, without discussing these absolutely vital practices? Then too, there are mistakes and material placed completely out of context. For example, under the heading, Sleep, we find; "Well that the irrigations of oil be used occasionally for the lower portion of the system..." - what on earth does this have to do with sleep? Then again, under the heading, Carbon Food, we find; "Cayce seems to be using the term 'carbon' in a manner similar to 'carbohydrate'. However, in 5707-1, he does seem to be differentiating a true carbon food from a starchy food." The authors don't tell you where this 5707-1 is that they are referencing, so you have to page backwards and forwards to try and find it - I eventually found it nine pages later, but lo and behold, it had nothing whatsoever to do with either carbohydrates, or carbon as a food. Other things I find irritating is where the authors insert what amounts to their personal opinions about particular subjects - I bought this book to read Cayce's views, not the authors'. To plan a personal rejuvenation plan for myself, I shall have to go through my Cayce library and summarise what I find there - I don't find the information in this book anywhere near comprehensive enough to serve as a complete guide in that venture. Unfortunately, there are a number of authors who appear to be 'authorised' to portray themselves as authorities on Cayce's teachings, yet do a really poor job of presenting their research - lack of logical flow, poor editing, deficient information and often, as in both the 'Cayce' books I have reviewed, using Edgar Cayce's name to propogate their personal opinions. I find this book to be extremely amateurishly put together, and the proof reader, if there ever was one, should be fired. (As an aside, I see that the cover has been changed from a plain one, to one with a picture of naked woman. This was doubtlessly done to boost flagging sales. I know that sex sells, but instead of using such a cheap tactic to increase sales, might I suggest the authors rather fix the content by getting rid of the amateurish flaws and making the content more comprehensive?)
