Soul Development: Edgar Cayce's Approach for a New World [Paperback]

Kevin J. Todeschi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2000

For ages, individuals have asked such questions as Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Now, for the first time, collective humanity is on the threshold of understanding that we are truly spiritual beings.

Decades ago, this understanding led twentieth-century mystic Edgar Cayce to state that, "Soul development should take precedence over all things." Just what is soul development and how can it be achieved? Does our collective development have any impact upon our world?

Using contemporary examples and historical case histories from individuals who received counsel from Edgar Cayce, this volume explores soul development and the process of personal transformation, enabling individuals to transform themselves and their society.

This review is from: Soul Development: Edgar Cayce's Approach for a New World (Paperback)

This book is rich in so many wonderful insights both by Edgar Cayce and Kevin Todeschi. The book contains many stories from Edgar Cayce's readings as well as follow-ups with individuals who received readings. While the stories are entertaining to read, the main purpose of these stories is to illustrate how people's lives turn out when they choose to follow the voice of Spirit within them, and how it turns out when the choose to ignore it. The emphasis is always on individual's choice.

I was happy that at the beginning of the book, Kevin has pointed out that many people - whether spiritually inclined or those who have no interest in spirituality look for ways to be done and over with this life - to check out so to speak. Yet, the idea is not to run away, but rather to bring Spirit into one's daily life, to bring Spirit to earth. The one who "walks with God" in his daily life, does not have desire to run away, but rather to be of service, to be helpful, to express love and light of God.

In many of the "readings" which were done for people who were looking for the cause of the problems they were facing in their current life - the "cause" was traced usually to something they did or lessons they haven't learned in past lives - yet, it doesn't matter whether you remember your past lives or not, the only true "cause" of any problems in the present is living one's life from the state of mind of separation of God. The main "lesson" to be learned is to let Love, Power and Wisdom of God flow through in one's daily life. When the individual chooses - decides - to put God first, and to walk with God every moment of his life, when the person chooses to let God express through all that he thinks and says and does - the problems fall away - because the lesson has been learned. This doesn't take years of suffering - it can happen as instantly as the individual is willing to open himself completely to God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Development - Edgar Cayce's Approach for a New World, March 10, 2000

This review is from: Soul Development: Edgar Cayce's Approach for a New World (Paperback)

Thank the powers that be, that there's Kevin Todeschi and that he continues to write such clear and inspirational books, like « Soul Development. » It didn't take reading more than three pages of his latest book for me to begin to remember what is most important in my life and begin to untangle the confusion that I habitually surround myself in. Edgar Cayce may be gone but at least Todeschi brings a here-and-now relevance and comprehension of Cayce's insights to my life, how and where I live it. What a blessing. And with each new book a different aspect of myself and of how to get along in the world is explored. If Mr. Todeschi didn't keep writing new books, I'd just have to read his others over and over again.
