5.0 out of 5 stars Great Review Of The Cayce Prophecies, September 8, 2004

By

This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient World: Exploring the Insights of America's Most Well-Documented Psychic, Edgar Cayce (Paperback)

This books provides a great review and overview of Edgar Cayce's statements related to the origin and destiny of our human race.

Things which for us today are only legends and myths have a basis in reality at some level. Maybe there really was for example a 'medussa' who had snakes of living hair.

Very interesting for me was the idea that Polaris, the North Star, has become lined up with the entrance to The Great Pyramid in 2004. This alignment indicates that our human race is approaching the beginning of a new age or a new 'root race', the fifth root race. This is tied in with the Mayan calendar that indicates that the current age started arouond 3100 BC and will end in December 2012.

The book also contains a chapter about the various apparitions of the Mother Of God at Fatima and other places. Interestingly the Cayce material related to Mary has its parallels in Catholic tradition. Cayce indicated that Mary is the twin soul of the Christ spirit and was created from Adam as is indicated in the bible. It can be interesting to see how the Catholic Church has its own interpretation of these ideas.

The book also talks about the time when the apostles spoke in one language but everyone could understand them. This may not have been a verbal language but instead is a type of radiation that even the plants and animals can understand. Our ability to understand the radiation was lost as is indicated in the Tower Of Babel story in the bible.

Surprisingly the authors feel that Edgar Cayce's statement that the Great Pyramid is 10,500 years old is wrong based on carbon dating of material from the pyramid. But I don't think Edgar Cayce was ever wrong. Sometimes for example he said things would happen in '98 and people thought he meant 1998 but he could just have easily meant 2098 or even 3198.

I think what may be happening there is the radiation from the Great Pyramid nuclear reactions messed up the carbon dating.

This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient World: Exploring the Insights of America's Most Well-Documented Psychic, Edgar Cayce (Paperback)

In "Secrets of the Ancient World", the authors look at the information given in several of Edgar Cayce's readings, reviewing each in light of current scientific findings/knowledge. The main focus here is on Cayce's version of various biblical stories, as well as the information he gave about Atlantis & his earth change prophecies.

One of the things I really liked about this book is that they didn't only discuss those readings for which scientific evidence is showing the possibility of Cayce's correctness. In fact, at times the authors point out where some of the readings were contradictory & share some possible reasons for this.

What I found most intriguing is how Cayce's readings put a "human face" on current scientific findings (mostly archeology & DNA research). For example, it's hard to understand what a group of people were like just through their pottery & artifacts - but where cayce was right on the archeological part of the reading, it lends credance to what he said about who they were as a people.

It's also exciting to see how new findings are impacting (and in many cases shattering) the past archeological, geological, & biological scientific theories that most people held as fact. For instance, it's finally being recognized that "modern" humans have been on this planet for more than 9,500 years - prior to this, many scientists had "etched in stone" that there was no way that this could be possible. Also, research on mitochondrial DNA is now allowing us to see how & where various people migrated throughout ancient times, thus shattering many long-held beliefs concerning the who, what, where, & when of these periods in time.

Below is just a sampling of what you'll find in "Secrets of the Ancient World":

*Noah's flood - is it truth or fiction?
*Genetics research - will it confirm the existence of Atlantis & Mu?
*The search for the Hall of Records
*The pyramids
*Mound builders
*Lilith & Amilius - ancient legend fact?
*The Tower of Babel - legend or fact?
*The parting of the Red Sea
*Apparitions of Mary
*The "Second Coming"
*Earth changes & the science of prophecy

Overall, I found this book to be quite intriguing! If you are at all interested in what science is now showing regarding the Cayce readings then this book is for you!

This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient World: Exploring the Insights of America's Most Well-Documented Psychic, Edgar Cayce (Paperback)

It's tiring to hear science refer to anything our ancient ancestors did as 'myths and legends', as if we're so smart now just because of our technology. We build things that maybe last a few hundred years. Our ancestors built things that lasted thousands of years such as the great pyramid of Giza, something we'd be hard-pressed to recreate even now with all of our technology.

Edgar Cayce not only took our ancestors claims seriously, he elaborated on them giving them enough detail to enable us to find and understand them today. As our knowledge increases we see that not only were our ancestors smart, but in all probability, they were smarter than we are now.

Greg and Lora Little use the Cayce material to expound on secrets of the ancient world. I found this book one of the most intrigueing books I've ever read. I'd read that Mary was born after her parents were visited by an angel just as her son Jesus was born after she was visited by an angel. Cayce claims they were twin souls. I can't even imagine Mary's grief as a mother watching her son die, and then to compound it with losing her 'other half'.

Then there's the story of the wise men. Who they really were and why they brought the gifts they did to the Christ child. Who was Christ? Why did he come back? Does any religion get the whole story right? Amazingly, we find that religions have more in common than they think. Just knowing that should bring world peace (I'm only half-kidding).

I have wondered for years what our true history was, or at least one that made a little more sense than what we've been taught. This book answers a lot of my questions. What I really find fascinating, is that this book doesn't go against anything else I've read whether channeled, or written thousands of years ago. It's like everyone is reading the same history book and if there are any differences, it's because they've chosen to study a particular area. Wonderful reading. If this were the way history were presented to our young in school, I'm sure they wouldn't find it boring.
