Edgar Cayce on the Future
|
|
|
 Almost
every day, several times a day, for more than forty years, Cayce would induce
himself into an altered out-of-body state of consciousness and reveal
profound information on various subjects such as health, dreams,
meditation, religions, and reincarnation, to name a few. But it was the
information that Cayce revealed about the future which he is probably most
known for. He provided information about the history of humanity from the
very beginning to a time in the future when humans will evolve into beings
with supernatural powers. He described a new era of enlightenment and peace
when divinity within humans would be manifested on the Earth. But before
this "kingdom of God" would rule the world, Cayce foresaw world
events that can only be described as apocalyptic, a period of purification
involving natural disasters that will dramatically alter the surface of the
Earth, wars, economic collapse, and socio-political unrest. These visions
of the future agree with what is known about prophecies
from NDEs.
Cayce believed
that these horrible future events could be averted if humanity changed its
behavior. And this is the purpose for giving prophecies - to warn people to
change so that the prophecies won't happen. Since Cayce certainly was not
100% accurate in his predictions, I believe this only shows how some of
Cayce's apocalyptic predictions have been averted. So, a successful gloom
and doom prophecy is one that does doesn't occur. Cayce's prophecies became
well-known all over the world and a case may be made that he may have had
some influence in creating the change within people to alter the course of
history enough so that the prophecy would not happen. Cayce would
repeatedly say that even the Lord of Lords could not accurately predict
future events because human free will can alter and change the future.
Cayce is referring to the Biblical account when Jesus is asked when he
would return. His reply was:
|
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the
angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matt. 24:36)
|
So, prophecy
is never given for any other purpose than as a warning. For this reason, a
successful prophecy is one that has been averted and therefore does not
happen. Skeptics of Cayce's prophetic ability like to point out that
because some of his predictions did not happen, this means he was a fake.
But from another perspective, one can say that his prophecies helped to
change enough people to prevent them from occurring.
Cayce envisioned
that a time would come when all individuals would realize their
responsibility toward one another – a realization that would change the
thought of humanity. During the height of World War II, he saw the
possibility of a united world and a renewed sense of spirituality all over
the world. When asked in 1944 which religious thought would lead the world
toward the greatest amount of spiritual light and understanding, the reply
was simply, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and your
neighbor as yourself!”
Cayce's
Visions of the Future That Already Have Come True
 Cayce received many visions of the future and many of them
have already come to pass. From these visions he made a number of
remarkably accurate predictions. The following is a list of them:
Foresaw
the Stock Market Crash and Great Depression
In 1924,
Cayce predicted the crash of the market after a long bull run during the
late 1920's. During the mid-1920's he chronicled the rise and fall of the
stock market, teaching his clients how to play the bull market and how to
prepare for the crash of 1929. He even outlined what growth industries
would give them the best long term portfolio after the market reached
bottom. Cayce should have been quite well-to-do with endowment from a share
of their speculations, but his clients did not pay attention to the
readings and failed to pay heed to his warning. Six months later, they lost
all they had when the great October 1929 Stock Market Crash occurred. This
was also the trigger for the Great Depression which Cayce also foresaw. In
1931, Cayce foresaw that the Great Depression would lift in the spring of
1933 which it did.
Foresaw
revolutions in foreign lands
In March
1935, Cayce added that eventually, unless there is more of the spiritual
attitude raised in groups here and there, world conditions would terminate
in a revolution throughout many of the foreign nations. There was nothing
in 1935 which caused much unrest. But in 1936, the Spanish Civil War broke
out, Italy invaded Ethiopia, Japan invaded China, and Stalin elevated the
Great Purges to star billing throughout Russia.
Foresaw
the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler
In January
1934, Cayce predicted that Hitler would rise in power to reign over
Germany. In August 1935, Cayce predicted that Hitler would remain in power
until it will "come as an overthrow or an outside war."
Foresaw a
world war that would begin in 1936
Cayce gave
one of his greatest world prophecies in February 1932. He sweepingly
outlined the course of most of the decade of the 1930's, which centered
around:
|
"A great catastrophe that's coming to the world in ' 36,
in the form of the breaking up of many powers that now exist as factors
in the world affairs."
|
Cayce predicted
the acceptance or rejection of the League of Nations in 1936, after which
changes would come which would create different maps of the world. He
detailed that before 1936 arrived the powers in Russia, United States,
Japan and England, or United Kingdom would be "broken up", as
indeed they were with major changes in the governments and policies of each
nation.
Cayce began
1935 with predictions about a revolution throughout many of the foreign
nations and finished up 1935 with his first grim predictions about a
universal war which he described as the whole world on fire. He predicted
that international patterns would spiral out of control after 1936,
resulting in new national boundaries. By 1937 he foresaw both the beginning
and the end of World War II. Cayce's readings continued to provide highly
accurate predictions about the escalation of the whole world on fire, the
U.S. entry into the effort to fight it, the establishment of peace, and the
return to normalcy within the new world order. Early on he twice gave a
highly accurate time frame for the ending of the war. Before the war even
began, Cayce was describing the nature of the post-war era.
Foresaw
America's 1941 entry into the war
America's
entry into the war was revealed through a reading in July 1939 for a
retired naval commander, which also contained a message of hope:
|
Question: "Am I likely to be recalled to active service
within two or three years?"
|
|
|
Answer: "The only likelihood will be in ‘41. This, too, if
the people pray, and live as they pray, will pass."
|
Cayce
ominously called the American Destiny, hinting about U.S. involvement in
the great fire: America must remain:
|
"As it
were - the balance of power in not only the money forces of the world but
those influences that will later be for the manning of those powers where
greater destructive forces will arise in those portions of the
world..."
|
He laid out
the worldwide scope of the conflict:
|
"Disturbance
in Asia, that will be effective or active through the changes in Germany,
Italy and especially through the Balkan forces or Balkan States, will
produce a disturbance that may reach proportions that will become rather
terrifying to all of Europe and Asia."
|
Foresaw a
decisive World War II battle
On June 20,
1943, Cayce described a battle that would happen and determine the outcome
and length of the world war.
Five days
after making this prediction, the German and Russian armies clashed in the
greatest tank battle of all time.
Foresaw
the deaths of Presidents FDR and JFK
In 1939,
Cayce predicted the deaths of two presidents in office:
|
"You
are to have turmoil -- you are to have strife between capital and labor.
You are to have a division in your own land, before you have the second
of the Presidents that next will not live through his office ... a mob
rule!"
|
President
Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office in April 1945. In November 1963,
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, when racial
tensions in the United States were boiling.
|
"Unless
there is more give and take," Cayce said, "consideration for
those who produce, with better division of the excess profits from labor,
there must be greater turmoil in the land."
|
Kennedy was
killed during the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. Great civil and
racial unrest followed just as Cayce foresaw.
Foresaw
India's independent from Britain
Cayce
predicted that India would become independent from Britain.
This prophecy
was fulfilled in 1947 when India began a transition to a democratic
republic after independence from Britain.
Foretold
archeological facts which later proved true
Cayce was equally as far ahead of the archeologists and
paleontologists. It took nearly another 60 years for the predominance of
evidence from around the world to prove Cayce probably correct in his claim
that the human species is 10.5 million years old, that the Giza monuments
in Egypt were aligned with the stars as of 10,500 BC, that the structure of
the Egyptian religion was defined from astronomical relationships, and that
an ancient civilization influenced the development of Egypt, Maya, and
Bharati.
 Foretold the discovery of the Essenes and Dead Sea Scrolls
Cayce correctly
described the location of an Essene community which was discovered when the
Dead Sea Scrolls were found. He revealed a series of information
concerning Palestine which was given for people who were told they had been
together during the life and times of Jesus. This data includes a
description of the Essenes and their part in the advent of the Messiah, and
is prophetic of the light thrown upon these mysterious people by the
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1948, fully ten years later after
Cayce described them.
Foresaw
the rebirth of the nation of Israel
In 1932,
Cayce advised the Jews to regard the advent of Fascist anti-Semitism in
Europe as the time to fulfill the biblical prophecy which foretold that the
Jews would return to Israel.
In May of
1948, the nation of Israel was re-established just as Cayce predicted. This
was followed by war between Israel and the Arab countries around it.
Foretold
the discovery of the land from Atlantis
Cayce
revealed that new land will appear in 1968 or 1969 off the east coast of North
America, the so-called "rising of Atlantis".
It was in
that timeframe that the Bimini Road
was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean. Whether this is actually a road or
natural, geologic erosion is being hotly debated. Many people believe this
to be the actual portion of Atlantis that Cayce was referring to.
Cayce
maintained that Atlantis was an ancient civilization that was
technologically superior to even our own and that its last surviving
islands have disappeared somewhere in the Atlantic ocean some ten thousand
years ago.
Cayce
revealed that the size of Atlantis was equal to that of Europe, including
Asia in Europe. He saw visions of this continent of the past which had gone
through three major periods of division; the first two occurred around
15,600 B.C., when the mainland was divided into islands. The three main
islands of Atlantis Cayce named were Poseida, Og and Aryan.
He said the
people of Atlantis had constructed giant laser-like crystals for power
plants, and that these were responsible for the second destruction of the
land. Cayce blamed the final destruction of Atlantis and the disintegration
of their culture on greed and lust. But before the legendary land
disappeared under the waves, Cayce revealed that there was an exodus of
many Atlanteans to ancient Egypt. Cayce attributed the Biblical Great Flood
of Noah to be a result of the sinking of the last huge remnants of
Atlantis.
During
Cayce's otherworldly journeys, Cayce would often reveal the past lives of
those who would come to him for information concerning their health. A
number of people who came to Cayce were told by him that they had past
lives in the legendary lost land of Atlantis. In fact, Cayce revealed that
a vast number of souls who lived past lives in Atlantis have been
incarnating to America for a long time now to usher in a new era of
enlightened human consciousness. In all, Cayce referred to Atlantis no
fewer than seven hundred times over a span of twenty
years.
Foresaw the
collapse of Soviet Union and communism
Cayce
predicted the failure of communism and the collapse of the Soviet Union:
|
"[Through
Russia], comes the hope of the world. Not in respect to what is sometimes
termed Communism or Bolshevism -- no! But freedom -- freedom! That each
man will live for his fellow man. The principle has been born there. It
will take years for it to be crystallized; yet out of Russia comes again
the hope of the world."
|
Cayce's
words, despite all disbelief, were fulfilled in 1991 when the Soviet Union
dissolved as a nation, abandoned communism, and instituted economic and
political freedom.
Foresaw
the alliance of Russia and US
Cayce
foresaw that Russia would one day become America's ally. Russia, he said, would
be guided by friendship with the United States. The Soviet Union's attempt
to rule "not only the economic, but the mental and spiritual
life" of its people was doomed to failure.
|
"..for
changes are coming, this may be sure -- an evolution or revolution in the
ideas of religious thought. The basis of it for the world will eventually
come out of Russia. Not communism, no! But rather that which is the basis
of the same as the Christ taught -- his kind of communism."
|
Cayce's
vision came true after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Foresaw
Russian religious freedom and religious movement
Cayce
predicted a strong religious movement would come out of Russia after the
collapse of the Soviet Union.
In 1991, the
fall of the Soviet Union and atheistic communism occurred as Cayce
predicted. The resulting freedom to practice religion released a flood of
Russian spirituality.
Discovered
scientific facts which were later verified to be true
Cayce provided many descriptions of the workings of the world and the
cosmos. Many of them seemed implausible in his day but during the past 50
years none of Cayce's comments about science or the natural principles of
how the cosmos works has been unproven. Many have been proven and more and
more of his ideas have come to form the basis of modern science.
Cayce described part of the fundamentals of what would become
the sciences of weather and earthquake prediction in the later part of the
20th century, easily 30 years ahead of scientists. He predicted the
existence of a ninth Planet (Pluto) many years in advance, and the
discovery of major quantities of gold on the bottom of the ocean, which was
discovered in the 1970's. He also attributed the main cause of motion in
the Earth's tectonic plates and crust to the motions and relationships of
the planets, which the Trilogy thoroughly documents as an important
scientific discovery.
Foresaw the rise of major technological industries
 Closely related to his ability to read science well in advance
of its practitioners, Cayce astutely predicted the broad stream of the
technological future. He was able to fully describe the major technology
industries which would drive the development of the American economy after
World War II. Consistently, 10 to 30 years in advance of the economy, while
ideas were still in their novelty stage, Cayce advised his clients to focus
on all aspects of radio, telegraphy, telephones, communications and
electronics industries which were associated with war products, deluxe fine
furniture cabinetry for electronic products, composite woods and molded
materials, and plastic resins. A man named David Kahn made millions of
dollars with this information.
The following are some more of Cayce's most astute predictions
about science and technology:
Discovered the existence of the long economic cycle
Cayce
described a long term economic cycle of 24 to 25 years which predicts
depressions and major recessions. Starting with a base year of 1907, every
24th or 25th year precisely describes an economic downturn. Based on
Cayce's definition, the next major depression is forecast for the year 2006
or 2007. The cycle does not describe all of the downturns but it definitely
describes the worst downturns.
Foresaw a shift of the Earth's poles around the millennium
In the late
1920's and early 1930's, Cayce was the first to describe the concept of the
shifting of the pole as a result of the crust of the Earth moving
independently from the core of the Earth to bring different a surface area
over the spin axis. During the past 30 years, this concept has received
more and more attention by geophysicists, some of whom now seriously argue
that the crust does move independently. Some geophysicists now also argue
that the best way to explain a variety of paleo sea-level and other data is
that it moves and shifts fairly frequently and more rapidly than previously
imagined.
Cayce
predicted changes to the Earth surface to begin some time between 1958 and
1998. The cause of these dramatic Earth changes will be the shift in the
world's magnetic poles around the year 2000. Cayce predicted that when this
pole shift occurs it would begin reversals in the world's climate so that:
|
"..where
there has been a frigid or semi-tropical climate, there will be a more
tropical one, and moss and fern will grow."
|
Cayce's
prediction of a pole shift occurred in 1998. According to NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center, in 1998
something changed the Earth's gravitational field which moved the
magnetic poles closer together. The NASA article explained that as the ice
on the poles melted, ocean currents moved water toward the equator, which
factors researchers believe to be partly responsible, in conjunction with
shifts in atmospheric patterns, for this ongoing shift in the Earth's
magnetic field. This NASA finding affirms Cayce's prediction of a pole
shift.
Foresaw
the rise of the aviation and radio industries
In May 1930,
despite the deepening depression, Cayce predicted the industries which
would become the next U.S. focus of industrial activity: those of the
aerial nature; that is, radio and its associations; aerial and its
associations. At the time, both the radio and aviation industries were
still widely regarded as commercially unproven toys.
Foresaw the rise of new communications technologies
Cayce
foresaw that exceptional changes and improvements would come in the
communications and broadcasting industries: he pointed years in advance to the
coming of TV, fax, telex, expanded stock ticker-tape services, and
microwave transmission on land to replace copper wire.
Foresaw the great influence of aviation on the world
During the
1930's Cayce told his clients to get out of rails and to get into the air.
In February 1933, he named the most outstanding change that would come -
airplane manufacturing and transportation industry. In November 1942, Cayce
predicted that air transportation will become more and more the basis of
ALL relationships with other nations, countries, as well as the internal or
national activity. By 1944 he predicted that any town that has any name
will eventually be on an airline and when they're off it's as bad as being
off the railroad (in another ten to twenty years).
Foresaw the development of infra-red vision for night vision
Cayce was
probably the first human being to describe the concept of infra-red vision.
Infrared night vision is now one of the mainstays of U.S. military
superiority.
Foresaw the union of the radio and telegraph industry
Cayce
foresaw the rapid integration and expansion of the communication industry
which would be driven by the new technology. In October 1935 he predicted
that by '39 should be a fact - that is, the united activity of Radio and
the Telegraph lines. By the end of the 1930's the ITU had created the
technical standards which allowed all forms of communication to
inter-operate. In November 1942 he added:
|
"Thus,
all communications are a part of this activity. This means not only radio
and telegraph (for these must be eventually one) ... but more and more
the air as the greater means of communications. With more and more
satellite communication facilities coming on line, even in the 1990's, it
is more and more the air."
|
Discovered
an investment strategy that proved to be successful
In March,
1936, Cayce advised investing in allied industrials, that deal with
preparations of war materials, for the next few months. But the industrials
having to do with communications of all natures, for long terms.
Discovered a consumer products strategy that proved to be
successful
In
September, 1942, Cayce advised investing in any electrical appliances, all
forms of home appliances, those of greater conveniences, - all of these
will offer the greater investment now and for the future - for the next few
years, at least. These consumer products drove the economy for a long time
and companies which manufactured them become huge. It is still true today,
in the form of computers and digital electronics. In March, 1944, Cayce
again predicted post-war economic leadership for technology in all of the
industrial products, including radio, ice box, automobile, lights. He
predicted at the same time that TV would become an important consumer
product before the TV broadcasting industry had even been conceived.
Foresaw
the day of his own death
The last
vision of the future Cayce received concerned himself. His visions would
often warn him that he should not use his powers more than twice a day or serious
health problems would occur. But because Cayce would receive thousands of
requests for help, he would ignore these warnings and help them anyway.
Many letters were from mothers who were worried about their sons fighting
World War II. Cayce's final vision warned him that the time had come for
him to stop working and rest.
But on
January 1, 1945, Cayce announced that he would be buried in four more days.
This was yet another prediction that proved to be true.
Cayce's
Visions of the Future That are Yet to Happen
 The year the battle of Armageddon will occur in the spirit
realm (may be happening already)
Cayce
predicted that the so-called "Battle of Armageddon" described
symbolically in the Bible would begin in 1999. Cayce foresaw that this
"battle" will not be a war fought on Earth. Rather, it will be a
spiritual struggle between the "higher forces of light" and
"lower forces of darkness" for 1000 years of Earth time. The
reason for this struggle is to prevent souls from lower afterlife realms
from reincarnating to Earth. By preventing souls from the lower afterlife
realms from reincarnating to Earth, only enlightened souls will be
permitted to reincarnate. The result will be 1000 years of building a world
of peace and enlightenment. After 1000 years, souls from lower afterlife
realms will be permitted once again to reincarnate to Earth. By this
time, the so-called "kingdom of heaven" will have been
established on Earth.
The year
of the second coming of Christ (may have already happened)
Cayce often
maintained that humanity would soon experience a "day of
reckoning." He predicted the year of the second coming of Jesus to be
1998.
Critics who
are not very familiar with the Cayce material have pointed out that 1998
has come and gone and the second coming has not occurred. Such critics
wrongly expect the second coming to happen when Jesus appears in the sky
with a chorus of angels while Gabriel blows a horn and dead bodies crawl
out of their graves. This idea of the resurrection was the result of a
misunderstanding of the concept of reincarnation - the ancient concept of
birth and rebirth.
It is more
logical and more realistic for Jesus to make his entrance the same way he
did in his previous life - rebirth. For this reason, I believe that Jesus has
indeed returned just as Cayce foresaw. If my theory is true then it means
that Jesus is currently living on Earth as a young child. Here is why I
believe my theory is highly probable:
(1) Cayce has a good track record about his predictions -
especially the major Earth-changing ones.
(2) Cayce was a very spiritual and religious person in love
with Jesus. He actually met Jesus on occasion during his afterlife sojourns
and had a strong personal relationship with him.
(3) As a Christian "prophet", the second coming
of Christ would be perhaps Cayce's most important prophecy to make. It
would seem highly unlikely that he would be so accurate on other prophecies
and not accurate on the event his heart was set on most.
(4) One particular NDE supports the idea that Jesus has
already returned. Dr.
Richard Eby had a NDE in which he was told by Jesus that he would not
die until Jesus returns. But on December 2, 2002, Eby died. Thus,
either Jesus is already here, or Dr. Eby and/or Jesus is lying. The lying
theory seems improbable.
(5) One particular NDE supports the idea that Jesus is
going to return very soon. Angie Fenimore was also given information
suggesting that Jesus is to return very soon, if he hasn't done so already.
Notice also that Fenimore agrees with Cayce about spiritual warfare going
on now.
|
"Humanity
is in the final moments before Jesus Christ returns to this Earth. The Earth
is being prepared for this event. The war between the forces of light and
the forces of darkness are growing so intense on Earth, humanity is in
danger of being consumed by the forces of darkness." (Angie
Fenimore)
|
(6) There is an ancient prophecy
that quite possibly supports Cayce's timeframe for the second coming of
Jesus. Nostradamus gave a prophecy that I believe refers to the
reincarnation of Jesus. Here it is:
|
"In
the year 1999 and seven months, from the sky will come the Great King of
Terror. He will bring back the great king of the Mongols. Both before and
after this, war reigns unrestrained." (Nostradamus)
|
(a) Here is my interpretation of this quatrain:
In the year 1999, the Great King of Terror (perhaps Jesus) will come from
another dimension to be reborn. Jesus will have the king of the Mongols
(possibly Genghis Khan) be reincarnated. Before 1999 and after 1999, great
wars will break out.
(b) Concerning the identity of the King of Terror:
Whenever the
Bible refers to the "day of the Lord" or "the end of
days" or the "end of the age," it always refers to a period
of fear, terror, judgment, fire, and brimstone. This is why I interpret the
King of Terror to be Jesus. The year 1998 that Cayce gave could be a
reference to the conception of Jesus. The year 1999 that Nostradamus gave
could be a reference to the birth of Jesus.
(c) Nostradamus gives anagrams for the names the three
antichrists:
The
Nostradamus quatrain above describes a king of the Mongols which may be a
reference to the final antichrist of which Nostradamus named three of them.
They are: "Napaulon Roy" (i.e., Napoleon), "Hister" (i.e.,
Hitler), and the final one Nostradamus named is "Mabus."
(d) Why did Nostradamus use heavy symbolism?:
Nostradamus
was clever enough to give us the names in a way that we could recognize
them without him actually naming them. In his day, the penalty for being a
prophet was death. This is why Nostradamus cloaked and scrambled his
prophecies in symbols and anagrams so that they can be hidden but still
deciphered.
(e) Nostradamus names the third antichrist:
The identity
of "Mabus", the third antichrist, has baffled many Nostradamus
buffs. Many current world leaders have been suggested to be this Mabus. The
identity of this antichrist may become known someday soon - who knows? Here
are some ideas from the leading Nostradamus scholar John Hogue.
More Cayce
Prophecies for the Future
 A new field of science will be developed based on a
psychic/spiritual phenomenon
Cayce predicted
in September, 1939, that when there is the same interest or study given to
things or phases of mental and spiritual phenomena as has been and is given
to the materialized or material phenomena, then it will become just as
practical, as measurable, as meter-able, as any other phase of human
experience. Cayce did not specify a time frame, he specified a condition,
placing as much research emphasis on the spiritual/occult phenomena as
material causation. It would be nice to think that Cayce was referring to
near-death research which would fit the description of the science he is
referring to. Until we know more in the future, we will have to assume that
this prediction is still pending.
A new
discovery in astronomy will occur
Cayce
provided a major clue that astronomers have not yet taken up: the discovery
of the revolution of the solar system around a star system composed of
Arcturus and the Pleiades.
There is a
possibility of a World War III
Cayce
foresaw the possibility of a third world war. He spoke of strife arising
near the Davis Straits, and in Libya, and in Egypt, in Ankara, and in
Syria; through the straits around those areas above Australia, in the
Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
Given the wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq and the tensions in the Middle East right now, such
a war could certainly be a possibility.
Major
archeological discoveries concerning human origins will be found
Cayce
predicted that there will be three profound
archeological discoveries of a very ancient and important nature that
will revolutionalize the way we understand human origins, cosmology and
religion. Cayce stated that this will occur when humanity reaches a higher
level of spirituality. The three repositories mentioned are in Egypt (near
the Great Pyramid), the Bimini area (where the possible portion of Atlantis
has already been discovered), and the Yucatan (the location where the
asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs).
China will
become a Christian nation
Cayce
envisioned a future where China would be the:
|
"the cradle of Christianity as applied in the lives of
men."
|
On the
surface of it, this prediction appears to completely improbable. This
prediction of Cayce's has stumped a lot of people who are not familiar with
the Cayce material. Some critics use this prediction to show that Cayce is
fallible. The answer to these critics is that, first of all, Cayce has
already been shown to be less than 100% in his predictions and there is no
reason to believe that a person with Cayce's ability have to be perfect in
their predictions. This aside, those who are more knowledgeable about the
Cayce material knows that the brand of Christianity that Cayce affirmed to
be the highest form of Christianity is not modern or traditional
Christianity, but rather Gnostic
Christianity. This sect of Christians possessed the secret teachings of
Jesus that he did not reveal to the general public.
Gnostic Christianity
resembles Buddhism more than it does traditional Christianity because
it involves reincarnation, the divine light within, and concepts that can
found in near-death experiences.
One of the
most respected scholars on the subject of Gnosticism is Elaine
Pagels. She noted that the similarities between Gnosticism and Buddhism
have prompted some scholars to question their interdependence and to wonder
whether "...if the names were changed, the living Buddha appropriately
could say what the Gospel of Thomas
attributes to the living Jesus." Although intriguing, she rightly
maintains that the evidence is inconclusive, since parallel traditions may
emerge in different cultures without direct influence. Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic
Gospels, (New York: Random House, 1979, repr. 1989), xx-xxi
Since the
Chinese communist government has stopped its cultural war against religion
and democracy and lifted the restriction on the practice of Buddhism, I see
no reason to doubt that Chinese Buddhism will one day become the
"Cradle of Christianity."
Volcanic

"If
there are greater activities in [the volcanoes] Vesuvius or Pelee, then the
southern coast of California and the areas between Salt Lake and the
southern portions of Nevada, we may expect, within the three months
following same, inundation by the earthquakes. But these are to be more
in the Southern than the Northern Hemisphere."

America's
west coast will be destroyed
 The widespread destruction in Los Angeles and San Francisco as
well as in many portions of the west coast will occur. Earth changes will
occur in the central portion of the United States as well.
NDE
researcher Dr.
Ken Ring discovered that many near-death accounts he was studying foretell
future Earth changes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, a pole shift,
strange weather patterns, droughts, famines, tidal waves and a new social
order followed by a golden age. These NDE visions of the future agree
completely with the Cayce predictions described below.
The ocean
level will rise significantly
With the
shifting of the Earth's magnetic poles that began in 1998 will come a
gradual melting of the polar ice caps and eventually cause inundations of
many coastal regions resulting in a drop in the landmass of about 30 feet.
In 1941, Cayce elaborated on this effect:
|
"As to
conditions in the geography of the world, of the country -- changes here
are gradually coming about ... For, many portions of the east coast will
be disturbed, as well as many portions of the west coast, as well as the central
portion of the U.S. In the next few years land will appear in the
Atlantic as well as in the Pacific. And what is the coast line now of
many a land will be the bed of the ocean. Even many battle fields of the
present will be ocean, will be the seas, the bays, the lands over which
The New World Order will carry on their trade as one with another."
|
Dramatic
changes in coastlines around the world
Due to the
shifting of the Earth's magnetic poles and natural disasters, dramatic
changes such as this will occur:
|
"The
Earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater
portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will
be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east
coast of America. When there is the first breaking up of some conditions
in the South Sea and those as apparent in the sinking or rising of that
that's almost opposite same, or in the Mediterranean, and the Etna area,
then we many know it has begun."
|
Interesting
note: In 1991, a series of natural
disturbances occurred following the eruption of Mount Etna in Sicily. Soon
after the eruption of Mount Etna, volcanic eruptions occurred in the
Philippines. These events may not be a fulfillment of Cayce's prediction,
but they may be a harbinger of greater Earth changes.
Major
Earth changes will occur in America
Here is a
description of these major Earth changes in Cayce's own words:
|
"Portions
of the now east coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the
main disappear. This will be another generation, though, here; while the
southern portions of Carolina, Georgia -- these will disappear. This will
be much sooner. The waters of the lakes will empty into the Gulf, rather
than the waterway over which such discussions have been recently made. It
would be well if the waterway were prepared, but not for that purpose for
which it is at present being considered. Then the area where the entity
is now located (Virginia Beach) will be among the safety lands, as will
be portions of what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and much of the
southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of Canada; while the
western land -- much of that is to be disturbed as, of course much in
other lands."
|
A new era
of peace and enlightenment will follow the tremendous Earth changes
Finally,
Cayce foresaw a new era of enlightenment and peace for humanity in the
future. Cayce states:
|
"A new
order of conditions is to arise; there must be a purging in high places as
well as low; and that there must be the greater consideration of the
individual, so that each soul being his brother's keeper. Then certain
circumstances will arise in the political, the economic, and whole
relationships to which a leveling will occur or a greater comprehension
of the need for it."
|
|
|
"This
America of ours, hardly a new Atlantis, will have another thousand years
of peace, another Millennium. All this done in the same manner that the prayers
of ten just men once saved a city. And then the deeds, the prayers of the
faithful will glorify the Father as peace and love will reign for those
who love the Lord."
|
Cayce's
glimpse of his next incarnation and a view into the future
Cayce once
had a prophetic dream involving an event in his next incarnation on Earth.
It gives us an interesting look into the future:
|
“I had been
born again in 2100 A.D. in Nebraska. The sea apparently covered all of
the western part of the country, as the city where I lived was on the
coast. The family name was a strange one. At an early age as a child I
declared myself to be Edgar Cayce who had lived 200 years before.
Scientists, men with long beads, little hair, and thick glasses, were
called in to observe me. They decided to visit the places where I said I
had been born, lived, and worked in Kentucky, Alabama, New York,
Michigan, and Virginia.
|
|
|
"Taking
me with them the group of scientists visited these places in a long,
cigar-shaped metal flying ship which moved at a high speed.
|
|
|
"Water
covered part of Alabama. Norfolk, Virginia, had become an immense
seaport. New York had been destroyed either by war or an immense
earthquake and was being rebuilt. Industries were scattered over the countryside.
Most of the houses were built of glass. Many records of my work as Edgar
Cayce were discovered and collected.
|
|
|
"The
group returned to Nebraska, taking the records with them to study...
These changes in the Earth will come to pass, for the time and times and
half times are at an end, and there begins those periods for the
readjustments...”
|
From the
list of prophecies that Cayce gave which proved successful, his prophecies
of the future should be seriously considered. However, Cayce himself stated
that the future is not fixed and that human free will makes virtually
everything possible.
|
"As
each second passed there was more to learn, answers to questions,
meanings and definitions, philosophies and reasons, histories,
mysteries and so much more, all pouring into my mind. I remember
thinking, 'I knew that, I know I did, where has it all been?'" - Virginia Rivers describing her NDE
