About the author
Edgar Evans Cayce
268 books324 followersThe origins of life, in the metaphysical sense, began with the creation of the celestial beings. According to Edgar Cayce’s readings of the Akashic Record, first came the Son, the Logos, or the Word -- as indicated in John’s Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Out of the Word or this central primordial expression of life, all else was created. Again in John’s Gospel: “All things were made through this One.” In Cayce’s readings: “We have first the Son, then the other sons or celestial beings that are given their force and power.” Evil and the forces of what humanity has called the Devil developed as a result of rebellion against the flow of creation, the harmony of the original ideal that all life was to follow. Cayce puts it this way (note: the emphasis and parentheses are Cayce’s)
Edgar Cayce has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come.

Being a native Kentuckian, I had heard of the mysterious clairvoyant from the western part of the state since middle school - mostly because I worked at a local bookstore and there were several books devoted to Edgar Cayce on the shelves. They were moderately popular and I was not the least bit interested in reading about him. That was many years ago.
A few months ago, I stumbled upon an old, worn paperback about Cayce among many other books that we adopted after the passing of an extended family member. I nearly pitched it - but did not. I decided to see what I could learn about Cayce and what, if anything, he had to do with The Dead Sea Scrolls. The bottom line? Cayce led an interesting life and spawned a huge following which continues today in the form of the "Association for Research & Enlightenment" in Virginia Beach, VA. I cannot say anything about his prophetic giftings other than that I am extremely skeptical.
What I did learn about, in excruciating detail, was the discovery of The Dead Sea Scrolls. The author did a passable job making their history understandable and interesting. If nothing else, a quick read of the book will leave you with a better understanding of the Scrolls and their authors, the Essenes.
Should you read the book? If it lands in your stack at the local used bookstore for under a dollar, then perhaps. But I certainly would not spend much money for a copy of go out my way to find one.

Dead Sea Scrolls
Every time I read Edgar Cayce, I get more of an insight to Jesus, Essences, and the time Jesus lived in. This book pretty shows you these people lived, waiting for the Messiah and how much they protected the scriptures. Very good read, I recommend this book, read it in just a few days.

The first pages are about the dead sea scrolls. The rest looks like a rambling without any point or meaning.

Good book. Interesting person Edgar Cayce was. I will be keeping this one for reference on The Essenes as this is all I know of them. I'd never heard of them before this book.
2nd Read: June 21, 2018 - June 26, 2018
Still a keeper for my collection as it is quite interesting and oddly enough, educational as well. It has inspired me to find more books about Edgar Cayce and his readings.

Interesting read but mainly focuses on the Edgar Cayce life reading as they relate to early Christianity and the life of Jesus. There isn’t too much of the dead sea scrolls text that is reviewed, just a cursory comparison of the readings and what the scrolls reveal.

my book is copyrighted 1970 and i'm too lazy to figure out how to add it to the list of choices.

He contradicted himself several times (or whatever it was speaking thru him).
