Will we be like Atlantis long ago??

This weekend I decided to catch up on some reading. I feel refreshed now that I have learned the things that I have; I never could have guessed that I would come to realize things as I do now. It is quite a long story, my reason for seeing things in this light, but I will try to explain it as best I can for anyone who wishes to sit through such explanations.

One of my longest and most mutually beneficial friendships has extended from high school until this very day. This friendship has brought me to realms of thought that I could not have conceived otherwise. One of the first such extensions, beyond that which was known at that early time, came when this friend started turning me on to Pink Floyd and the like. At the time, I understood little of what was being said in the music, but I enjoyed the originality of the music far more than that music to which I had been exposed to in the past.

Sitting here and thinking about it, having been nearly 8 years since my first experience of this sort, I am amazed at the path that I have taken. Were anyone to have told me, back then, that everything that i would do after my exposure to the levels of higher consciousness brought forth by Pink Floyd, I would have not believed them. I can now see, after all of these years, that I have had but one resolve; this resolve was to delve as far into the occult ideas set forth by Pink Floyd and the like, and that is exactly what I have done. I still have yet to reach a point at which I can say I've delved as far as I can go; this is because the music of Pink Floyd and all of those like them is truly Abysmal indeed.

After my experience of Pink Floyd continued on for awhile I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the work of Maynard James Keenan and from this point the influx of novel concepts was truly tremendous indeed! Maynard James Keenan is one of the few artists that I can honestly say has helped the state of musical expression to evolve in a manner which helps those who listen intently to reach states of higher being.

Well, I spent years listening to all of this music and many related artists and still do to this day, but there is one thing that I have overlooked until the last few months. My friend was very fond of a man named Edgar Cayce and, at times, would encourage me to read writings about him. Unfortunately I overlooked this for many years; recently, however, I have re-discovered Mr. Cayce and am awe struck at what I have learned.

Edgar cayce lived in the early part of the 20th century. Mr. Cayce is quite an anomilie indeed; he has been termed the "sleeping prophet" by many. He was known to drift into a trance state and diagnose individuals' illness better than any doctor ever could; he would perform many of his diagnoses from hundreds of miles away without any pre-existing knowledge of the individual to whom he was giving the diagnosis! These readings were wittnessed by people from the general public and recorded for later study.

The readings of Mr. Cayce have been studied so as to determine their accuracy and consistency and have been found to be extrodinarily accurate. Individuals who were desperate for treatment would often come to Cayce for a health reading and say nothing of their pre-existing conditions (they wished to test his psychic abilities for themselves before taking his advice). Extrordinarily, Cayce would discover their pre-existing conditions in addition to any other problems; he would then give guidance as to which dietary habits, etc, would fix such problems. Some time after the readings were done, individuals were sent questionaires asking how effective the reading was and, at times, asking some specific questions about the reading.

For the last few months I have been exploring Mr. Cayce's teachings. I began by studying the health teachings and have benefitted enormously both in body and spirit from his teachings. It is a little known fact that if one wishes to begin on the path to enlightenment they must start with a balanced diet; the diet laid out by the Edgar Cayce readings is excellent for "spirtual development." I've been adhering to the dietary guidelines, which I have discussed in recent entries, and have recently begun to feel very much different than ever before.

I now feel an energy, the Chinese call this "Chi" circulating freely through my body via the meridians therin. Not only can I feel this circulating through my body, but I also feel it radiating out of my head and body; it is as if there are two spheres of energy (a large sphere for the body and a small one for the head). I would liken this entire experience to breaking free from encasement in a cement block. I've spent years getting out, but now I feel as if i'm standing on the pile of rubble that was once a form of imprisonment.

Edgar Cayce did much more than simply health readings, however, and that is where much of the controversy about him lay. He would also give what are called "life readings" in which he would describe how past lives currently effect individuals. During these readings about past lives Cayce would often describe what was going on in the world and how the individual was involved. While describing many of these past lives, Cayce stumbled upon some events that are directly in contradiction with our widely held notions of "history."

Most of the "learned" history buffs think that history basically began with the Egyptians and Sumerians and then really became active with the Greeks and all of their exploits, but Cayce's readings give us an entirely different view of history. Cayce describes the period before the Egyptians in STAGGERING detail and consistency. Many have studied Cayce's life readings and found them to be without inconsistancy! This man gave tens of thousands of readings, a few thousand of which were life readings and scholars, to this very day, have not been able to find inconsistencies among the many thousands of life readings.

If anyone would like to find out about the period considered unknown by the history books, then I would advise you to read everything you can about Edgar Cayce's Atlantis readings. Cayce claims that most of the individuals born in modern day America are re-incarnations of those individuals who once lived in Atlantis; this being the case, individuals born in the modern day have the same sub-conscious tendancies as those who once lived in Atlantis.

If you read what he has to say about the history of Atlantis, you will be amazed to find that we are very much the same as Atlantis and are likely to meet the same fate if we don't learn what happened there. Most importantly, we need to have a sense of our true history if we are to understand what it is we are doing here on Earth. The period covered by the existence of Atlantis covers a great deal of time and explains how we got here and the forces at work on Earth TO THIS VERY MOMENT.

If anyone is interested, I would recommend the following books:

This book delves deeply into the the Atlantis readings given by Edgar Cayce. It is very well written without bias one way or another, very scientific in its scrutiny of the readings, etc:

Edgar Cayce On Atlantis

This book looks into the health advice given by Cayce. I can attest that the dietary guidelines outlined in this book are simple and effective and will change the life of anyone who earnestly follows them:

Edgar Cayce on Healing Foods for Body, Mind, and Spirit

The books listed above are good starters. There is also a great deal of information about all of these things on the web, just search for it and you will find very well organized information about all of this to wet your apetite. It is important that this knowledge reaches as many as possible; i feel this way because I think that the message contained therin will help to heal the disheveled masses of people who feel that their lives have little purpose or meaning and cannot find any credible form of guidence to help them with their problems. Please take some time to earnestly consider these ideas and it will become apparent as to why I have made such an effort to say these things.

The time has come to stop seeing ourselves as individuals immersed in our own little material creations; it is time to realize that we are spiritual beings manifest in physical bodies. One's essence combines with the physical at the time of conception; this is done so that one can experience materiality and grow to reach higher levels of consciousness. Liberate the spirit that is in your body by partaking of the right substances regularly and having the right understanding of how we arrived at the Earth and why.
