The 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.

Like many people, Cayce believed that everyone could channel and that all people have the capacity for some level of psychic abilities, though he recognized that the vast majority of people wouldn’t enter into trances. When I say “trance,” I don’t mean creative visualization, meditation, or even a “feeling”—I mean that more often than not, you **cannot** control what you receive, whether you’re sleeping or awake.

Cayce talks about using channeling to help people, and by that he means that they’re NOT paying you in money or in favors. This is something that I absolutely approve of. Plenty of people think that they can read a few books and then go hang out at an herb shop or Pagan shop and sell information as “professional psychics.” Certainly, it’s done all the time, but Cayce is advocating for something quite different: teaching people how to get in tune with their higher selves and encouraging them to show a level of empathy and compassion for other people.

Edgar Cayce was an interesting personality. Known as “The Sleeping Prophet,” he received visions primarily within a trance-like state where his higher self would answer questions. This is vastly different from my own and others’ experiences where we receive information from someone other than ourselves. This is a short book that provides a lot of insight into Cayce’s thought process and beliefs.

This is an author that I read decades ago and thought it was time to revisit and see what I liked about it back then. It is based on the teachings of Edgar Cayce who is considered to be the most documented and accurate psychic in American History. This book is focused on channeling your higher self to stimulate personal growth and tap into ancient knowledge. It includes practical how to examples to use and develop your own abilities. Edgar Cayce died in January 1945 but his books still make for interesting reading for today.

Not the thing I was looking for, but I think it's a good start.
I haven't thought about channeling myself... But I guess I have. Guess that's the little voice that speaks to us and gives us ideas when we are left to ourselves for half an hour.
What Edgar Cayce has said about channeling sounds right to me. He seems to be a prodigy.
I intend to use the meditation part at the end at some point in the future.
Guess it's a good start for people who want to learn channeling.

Not by Edgar Cayce.

Not of much value as far as I heard.

audiobook: Interesting and helpful - worth the listen. I don't know how this relates to Cayce's body of work - this was my introduction, and I enjoyed it.
