Edgar Cayce on the Lost City of Atlantis

This book delves into the histories of the lost continent of Atlantis as given from the words of Edgar Cayce—the world’s most documented clairvoyant. During his time in Virginia Beach, the Sleeping Prophet provided past life readings for nearly 1,600 individuals. Roughly half the people he spoke to supposedly experienced a past life in Atlantis. He also claimed that the people who once inhabited Atlantis are again being reincarnated in the modern world at a rapid rate. As Cayce explained during one of his trances:

“As has been said, much data has been received from time to time through psychic forces as respecting . . . this continent’s existence. That the continent existed is being proven as a fact . . . The POSITION of the continent, and the like, MUST be of interest to peoples in the present day . . . [for] individuals are being born into the earth plane . . . BY the spirits of those who inhabited such a continent” (364-3).

The Atlanteans of the past are bringing their skills and knowledge into the present age. The engineers, mathematicians, and scientists of contemporary society likely developed their intellectual insights from their previous sojourns in the vanished land.

Cayce describes Atlantis as a thriving culture; a place of high technological status. The Atlanteans harnessed the powers of nature to bring about a high-functioning society. There were modes of transportation: trains, aircrafts, seacrafts, and levitating carriers. The powers of crystals were used to magnify all aspects of human and geographical development. Cayce says that the technologies of the Atlanteans are something that modern man has not been able to recreate, reinvent, or even reconsider.

It wasn’t only the knowledge of science that the Atlanteans possessed but also the knowledge of the occult or psychic sciences that brought about such a grand world. The entities that populated Atlantis possessed an array of supernatural mental abilities, which they used to bring about one of the most supreme civilizations ever to grace the earth.

As time progressed, error crept into existence. Entities started becoming selfish, seeking pleasure in all its forms. Jealousy and anger ensued and hardships arose. The entire region soon met its downfall due to the ignorance of its inhabitants. The God-given powers the Atlanteans inherited were being misused, contributing to the land’s destruction. The fall of Atlantis didn’t occur over the course of a day, as Plato wrote. Instead, it was gradual, happening over the course of months, years, decades, or centuries.

Just like Atlantis, the nations of the modern world have built up a degree of technology that has proven to be quite remarkable. By using radio waves, sonar technologies, and gas and electric-powered vehicles, today’s world can meet and exceed all the needs and desires of contemporary man. Society is advancing at an exponential rate, and systems are developing in ways that ancient man could never have created prior to the Industrial Revolution.

A technological transformation has once again come upon the earth, and history seems to be repeating itself. Human ingenuity is becoming more sophisticated, more personalized, more resourceful, and more powerful than ever. The forces of nature are again being used to bring prosperity to all countries. However, if the current world is not careful, it could meet the same fate as its deceased ancestor nation.

Many questions arise about the departed territory of Atlantis and its peoples: what were they like? How did they live? What was their lifestyle? What did they know? What troubles did they face, and where did they go wrong? How could such an advanced, knowledgeable culture meet such a dire, disastrous fate? There are endless circumstances one can only envision. Only by studying the myths and prophecies of the lost land can we begin to approach such questions and discover such answers.

Reads like science fiction

The readings sounded like a good science fiction book. I am a strong Edgar Cayce fan and appreciate the readings, but had to suspend believe to fully appreciate these perceptions. It has a strong Christian interpretation, in keeping with his personality.

Great Book!

I really liked the book. I found it pretty hilarious that most of the people coming to him for readings were middle aged housewives. But he definitely has something, if not a true ability, his imagination is truly unmatched. It makes you really think.

meh

it was ok, not what i expected though and not that detailed. also makes the atlanteans sound way less intelligent than i imagine they were.

Hastily Thrown Together

I had read the print version of this book already, so I'm familiar with its content. My disappointments with this are technical. The voice is CG, which the summary states. While it's acceptable, if British- like voices are your thing, I would like an option to pick a voice. seems like it would not be hard to code that in to the reader. There is also not a usable Table of Contents. I think the price is a bit much for not paying a voice talent and no Contents. it is informative as far as the Atlantis material goes.

This is not the best Edgar Cayce book

I was really looking forward to this book. To hear what Cayce had to say about Atlantis. For the most part it seems very believable, and explained how the Atlantian people influenced many cultures. But there are parts that seem more like a sci-fi story. I listened to it twice, to make sure I gave it a fair chance. Unfortunately it seems too unrealistic in many places. This may be what was told to Cayce,but I think they were pulling his leg. Read There is a River, it's amazing.

This was not a work of Edgar Cayce

This book referenced some of Edgar Cayce's readings. It merely used these referenced readings to further the author's narrative.

This was not what I was hoping for.
