Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) was a famous
20th century seer who would go into a self-induced trance (appearing
to be asleep) and answer questions for those requesting help. The sessions were
referred to as “readings.” Most of his readings addressed heath issues the requestor
was experiencing, sometimes life threatening. The person requesting the reading
was normally not present while he gave his responses in trance. A conductor,
usually his wife, Gertrude, would pose the questions to the sleeping Cayce.
In addition to health, Cayce’s
readings dealt with a variety of other topics such as reincarnation, dreams, the
mental, the spiritual, and prophecy. The number of his readings on Earth changes
was small, but those readings often have been referenced by the New Age
community because of their dire predictions. Cayce matter-of-factly described
changes that he saw occurring during future periods. Since Cayce died in 1945,
climate change was not yet a topic of concern. However, he addressed changes to
the Earth that he saw occurring during the period 1958 to 2001.
My introduction to the Cayce
material on Earth changes came from a small booklet based on a study originally
published in 1959. The booklet is titled Earth Changes and is published by the
Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.). The A.R.E. is a non-profit organization
established in 1931 to preserve, study, and make available the psychic readings
of Edgar Cayce.
Much of the information in the
booklet deals with Cayce readings concerning earlier geologic times. However,
some fifteen readings in the study focus on the period 1958 to 2001. Some of
Cayce’s predictions have already occurred and been verified. The most shocking
ones that are closer to the end period of 2001 have not occurred. Many reasons
for this are possible, which I addressed in the last post.
Major changes to the geography of
the Earth were forecast. For the period 1958–1998, Cayce’s predictions include
the following (paraphrased from the readings).
- Breakup of land in
the western part of the US
- Most of Japan lost
to the sea
- Sudden changes in
northern Europe
- Volcanoes, upheavals,
and shifting of the poles
After the changes, much of California
and the East coast, including New York City, will be under water. Great
portions of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida will be inundated as well.
Few parts of North America will be
untouched. In one reading, Cayce says safety lands will comprise parts of
Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, along with southern and eastern Canada and
Virginia Beach. This doesn’t leave much for people seeking to stay in the US.
Cayce describes other changes such as the Great Lakes emptying into the Gulf of
Mexico.
For those who want a thorough
understanding of the Cayce readings on Earth changes, I suggest you obtain the booklet
described. One of the early changes indicated is earthquake activity in
southern California and the area between Salt Lake in Utah and southern Nevada.
I find this interesting because of the recent activity in those areas and my
dream about seismic activity in southern California. The area recently had an
earthquake of magnitude 5.9.
The changes Cayce describes do not
occur overnight; it is a gradual process with their culmination in the axis
shift and the greater changes. Of course, the major changes described have not
occurred yet, but we may now be seeing the beginning of those changes. Before
elaborating on this view, I will explore the revelations of Gordon-Michael
Scallion and Lori Toye in my next post. They support the predictions of Edgar
Cayce, but like Cayce the monumental changes predicted have not yet occurred.
I am NOT suggesting that Edgar Cayce
was a prophet of doom. He was anything but that; his message was always one of
hope and possibilities for greater good. His prophetic statements were often
simply a part of the environment he was describing for the person receiving the
reading. They should not be completely surprising because the history of the
Earth is one of great change. We just don’t want that change to occur now that we
humans are present on the Earth.
In future posts, after focusing on
Earth changes, I will address the possibilities for humanity. I believe that we
have only just begun to understand our potential for creativity. Employed in a
positive way, our creative spirit can pave the way to a golden age. (My own
dreams show humanity entering a new age by the end of this decade.) But we are
not going to achieve that with the divisions currently present. We are on a
path of self-destruction that is playing out in a variety of ways. Our
disregard for the environment has caught up with us; climate change is not
ordained by God. It was caused by humans, and we must accept responsibility for
it. As imbalances in nature occur, we are likely to see extreme side effects such
as droughts and famine. And new deadly diseases may emerge from the imbalances.
We are now seeing the effects of
climate change in the West with record high temperatures and a diminishing
water supply. Adverse effects of a warming world are not something that might
happen in the future; they are happening right now and devastating consequences
of climate change appear to be accelerating. We must now plan for life in a
warming world that may involve dramatic changes to our lives. I believe it is
too late to prevent many of the changes that will occur this decade, but it is
not too late to plan for living with them.
If the high temperatures in
California continue, then my dream of everything turning to sand by 2025 may
not seem so unlikely. In the next post, I will describe Gordon-Michael
Scallions predictions and claims about water becoming a critical factor for
survival because there will either be too much in areas flooding or not enough in
areas of drought.
