A complete guide to the work of the remarkable twentieth-century seer Edgar Cayce, featuring Cayce's most intriguing and influential readings, and a biographical introduction to his life. Edgar Cayce is one of the most mysterious men of the twentieth century. Sometimes called "The Sleeping Prophet," he was prone to pick up taglines that reflected the sensationalistic side of his work rather than its real depth and meaning. The core of his life's work was actually being an intuitive healer and Christian mystic. More than one hundred books have been written about his teachings and his life story. Yet no book has combined insightful commentary with lengthy, verbatim selections of the full range of his contribution to holistic healing, practical spirituality, and the psychology of the soul. The Essential Edgar Cayce gives the reader an understanding of each major area in which Cayce helped pioneer the modern holistic living movement, as well as the contemporary popular approach to spirituality that weaves together the best of Eastern and Western religious traditions. The book's substantial introduction frames Cayce and his life's work, and is followed by eight topical sections in which commentaries by Mark Thurston guide the reader through some of the seer's most significant readings. Here is a truly integral portrait of the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most fascinating spiritual figures.

John Van Auken combines his love of Kabbalah with his 40 years of studying the psychic readings of world-famous seer Edgar Cayce to take us on a mind-expanding journey through creation and the higher levels of our consciousness. Van Aukens easy writing style helps to shed light on the most complicated concepts in Kabbalah, making it easier to grasp the five divisions of our being, the four planes of existence, the seven heavens, the ten emanations, and the twenty-two channels of the Infinite Creative Consciousness. We also learn how to expand our minds to perceive these realms, to journey through them, and, to remain sane, healthy, and active in our present life. Van Auken brings in insights from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and even ancient Egyptian theology, and includes Gnosticism and Neo-Platonism in this multi-dimensional vista. A reading journey into Edgar Cayce and the Kabbalah offers you a personal road map to higher consciousness and a happier, more fulfilling life!

Perhaps more than any other advice offered in the Edgar Cayce readings, meditation, prayer, and the use of spiritual affirmations were given as tools for personal attunement and enlightenment. The Cayce readings were one of the first sources in the Western hemisphere to consistently recommend meditation to individuals from every religious background. The Cayce readings on prayer advance the ecumenical "Oneness" nature of prayer and discuss the workings and vibrations of this integral tool for personal attunement and spiritual healing. The Cayce readings frequently extol the extraordinary power of affirmations with the philosophy that "mind as the builder" and the premise that personal co-creation is empowered by that which the mind dwells upon. In other words, what one continues to think, one eventually becomes.

Edgar Cayce, widely acclaimed clairvoyant and forerunner of the holistic health movement, is revealed here as a pivotal figure in the transition from the esoteric and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth century to the New Age movement.This book describes and evaluates his psychic "readings," more than 14,000 trance discourses that address medical, theological, historical, and psychological concerns raised by thousands of inquirers. The author evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability in the subject areas emphasized by the readings. Cayce's medical and psychological advice is shown to be well ahead of his time in many respects, and his spiritual teachings are appraised as a reconciliation of Protestant mysticism with New Thought and Theosophy. Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective.

The author, a longtime Cayce readings scholar, answers questions on the principles that allow the body to continually rebuild itself and how we can use these principles to extend our life span. Van Auken uses carefully researched quotations from the Cayce readings and includes an overview of Cayce's emphasis on diet, exercise, rest, and meditation, in staying mentally and physically young and spiritually centered.
