ANOTHER COLLECTION OF CAYCE’S READINGS, ALONG WITH FOUR ESSAYS
Cayce’s son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, wrote in the Introduction to this 1969 book, “When Edgar Cayce died [in]… 1945, he left well over fourteen thousand documented stenographic records of the telepathic-clairvoyant statements he had given for more than six thousand different people over a period of forty-seven years. These documents are referred to as ‘readings.’ The readings constitute one of the largest and most impressive records of psychic perception ever to emanate from a single individual…. A foundation known as the A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment) was founded in 1932 to preserve these readings. As an open-membership research society, it continues to index and catalog the information, initiate investigation and experiments, and promote conferences, seminars and lectures…
“This volume contains one of the best collections of extracts from the Edgar Cayce readings which has been published so far. The subject matter is varied, for it is comprised of the questions most frequently asked Edgar Cayce while he was in the unconscious state during the forty-three years he gave ‘psychic readings.’ The questions and answers range from archaeology to yoga and include eleven selections on psychic faculties, seven on memory, twelve on the Bible, nine on prophecy, three on time and space, thirteen on life after death, etc. In all there are almost two hundred questions and answers directly from his psychic data.
“Supplementing this material, three essays of min are included, ‘When Karma Ends and Grace Begins,’ ‘Faith and Miracles’ and ‘Can We Break the Time Barrier?’ These are taken from lectures I have given through the past few years and are, in part, a response to requests of member of the audiences who wished transcripts of these talks.
“Of special interest to many will be the title essay by Edgar Cayce himself, ‘The Continuity of Life.’ Coming as this does out of the rich personal experience of his explorations of the world we all move into at death, this will be of great comfort and inspiration to many, I believe.”
Edgar Cayce said in his opening essay, “Most of us believe the Scripture; at least we believe what is written there is for our knowledge and our understanding. And if we follow that, we will come to a greater knowledge of Life---that is, God. We will come to a greater concept of how great Life is… It once bothered me a great deal as a child that God spoke to the people in the Bible and did not speak to us. Now I believe that He does and will speak to us if we will only listen. So often we allow the desires of our physical bodies to so outweigh our desires for spiritual knowledge that we build barriers between ourselves and God.” (Pg. 14-15)
He continues, “I choose to think that each one of us has an individual soul, that there is ONE Spirit---the Spirit of God---going through each and every one, that makes each and every one of us akin---that makes all life and all nature akin; for Life in EVERY form is dependent upon that force we call God. For, as matter came into being, it was permeated with the Spirit of God that gives live, with its ability to carry itself on and make of itself that which has been determined by God that it should be.” (Pg. 15)
Hugh Lynn Cayce wrote in his first essay, “Edgar Cayce never claimed to be a great prophet in the historical sense; nevertheless his subconscious mind could penetrate time and space, and this ability to journey beyond the five senses into the realm of time-space furnishes us with a basis, a jumping-off point, from which to assemble our own conclusions.” (Pg. 18-19)
This book will appeal to fans of Edgar Cayce.

A good look into the often confusing Cayce readings by people who knew or almost knew him personally.
