Edgar Cayce's Story of the Soul

Summary: Not Really Edgar Cayce's Story
Review: I have long been interested in the readings of Edgar Cayce and believe that if there ever was a genuine psychic, Edgar Cayce was it. I am also sure that conventional theories of evolution and histories of man have missed much and that Cayce gave clues that may help fill in those blanks. However, Church based this book not only on the readings of Edgar Cayce but cherry-pickings from Blavatsky, Nostradamus, the Bible, and many other esoteric sources - which he then cements together with his own speculations. So this book is not really Edgar Cayce's story. The style also leaves much to be desired. Church repeatly brings up subjects only to tell the reader that he'll get to that later. The author also constantly refers to his text as a "journey" that he and the reader are going on. That style might be appropriate when delivering a slide-show to grade-school students, but seems condescending to me. Consider this book an introduction to the subject until a better one comes along.

Summary: Thanks for a Larger Vision
Review: I've read this book 3 times. It is sometimes difficult to follow (the concepts are so big and in some cases radically new - 2 "Adams"?) and the author sometimes comes across a bit patronizing. But, if you're interested in reading about the "bigger picture" of life - why we are here, where we really are on the scale of soul evolution, you really should take a look.

Some may laugh at the notion of reincarnation, Atlantis and a soul that had had 33 incarnations by the time he was born as Jesus. But my own intuition tells me I've been given a huge spiritual gift.

I found it to be inspiring, challenging and thought provoking.

Review: This book, althought short, took me 2 months to read. I had to keep re-reading chapters to absorb the information and sometimes cross-reference it. Was something that I was truly searching for, the beginnings and the tie-in to all of humanity. It may be a supposition, but much food for thought here. I will be re-reading this soon, many times. Most thought provoking if one is open to all.
