FOOD FOR THE SOUL

I'm a Catholic but don't have a problem with Edgar Cayce & reincarnation. I think this is because Cayce readings really stress the traits as a Christian I believe in...kindness, forgiveness, longsufferingness! (is that a word)?! prayer etc. I try to read the Bible everyday because for me it really is soul food...nothing compares except the Mass. Cayce's books always feel like such a comfort, though. This book, to summarize, is about getting rid of our selfishness. And it explains the Revelation. I'm on my second reading because it was rather difficult the first time through. Rather dense. Very recommended.

Revelations Revealed

This is one of the most facinating books I have read about Revelation. It is almost a step by step guide to spiritualize your mind and body. I like the way the author states this process is not only a journey of the individual but of humanity as group to undertatke. This book will be understood best by students of metaphysics 101 or those who have previous exposure to the Edgar Cayce materials. Also, there are many of the same symbols and achetypes used in Revelation that the tarot uses, so tarot devotees will enjoy this book as well.

understandable explanation

This book is a study guide and explanation of the mystic readings of Edgar Cacye as given to him in a sleep state by his guide. The first part gives an overview of what his readings revealed chapter by chapter through the Bible book of Revelation. After the study, the actual readings with the actual reading numbers as recorded by Cayce's secretary are listed. Those who have not studied Edgar Cacye's readings may find this book confusing, and may want to begin with "The Sleeping Profit" so they gain an understand of the readings, what the numbers represent, and how Cacye was but a vessel for mystical information to be revealed to mankind in this time and age. This book is not an easy read, and will take time to absorb the teachings. What the author does, however, is combine readings and place them in an order the reader can understand in accordance with the writings of Revelation in The Bible

Time, Space, And Patience

I'm giving this book 5 stars but if you're not into metaphysical, philosophical type of information you may not enjoy it. The Cayce material is already esoteric enough on its own. Combine Cayce's philosophy with the already confusing Book Of Revelation and you end up with a very deep discussion. Keep in mind the second part of the title is: A Study Guide For Spiritualizing Body And Mind The author is very much into the 'inner life' which involves using meditation techniques to unlock information contained in the subconscious mind. He includes a lot of that type of information in the book (Part 2) since Cayce said the Revelation was itself a result of the apostle John going into a deep meditative state. There is so much information in this book that I'm having a hard time summarizing the key points. One point is Cayce related the Revelation to the human body. The seven 'churches' correspond to the 7 spiritual centers or 'chakras' in the body. The four 'beasts' in the story are man's lower spiritual centers. Our more animalistic tendancies that must be overcome. There's a lot of numerology in the Book Of Revelation. The numbers seven and twelve come up a lot. I think there are twelve universes. If you're looking for dramatic revelations about who the anti Christ is and where the battle of Armeggedon will occur forget this book. For Cayce these were mainly spiritual concepts rather that actual people and events. But yet Cayce did mention that the scriptures often have a literal, spiritual, and metaphysical interpretation and he hints in a few places that some parts of the Revelation do correspond to actual people and events. I am finding with the Cayce material that he focused mainly on the spiritual aspects of things. Still I recommend this book for anyone who is into meditation and similar types of searching or if you want to read an alternate interpretation for the Book Of Revelation. Edgar Cayce was very mysterious. He provided answers to any questions that were posed to him regardless of the subject. Philosophy, science, ancient history, health, reincarnation. We may sometimes forget that he had no noticeable way to obtain all of this information.
