What if God were completely loving, the universe completely orderly, and everything that transpired in life a purposeful experience chosen at some level by the soul for spiritual growth and soul development? Such is the premise of Edgar Cayce on Mastering Your Spiritual Growth. Drawing upon contemporary examples as well as historical case studies of individuals who received psychic guidance from Edgar Cayce, this insightful volume examines the activities of soul growth and the process of personal transformation that will ultimately enable all individuals to transform themselves as well as society and the world at large. For countless ages, people have asked Who am I? Why am I here? And does my life have a purpose? The answers to these questions were explored by thousands of individuals who came to famed psychic Edgar Cayce, and they are answers that are just as applicable today. The ultimate truth is that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience living purposeful lives in a process of soul growth. The keys to that process are working with a personal spiritual intent or ideal, discovering our own approach to personal attunement, and repeatedly working with personal application. The Cayce information contends that it is the inevitable destiny of every soul is to become cognizant of its true relationship to the Creator, eventually achieving spiritual enlightenment in the process. This stage of enlightenment was described by Cayce as “the Christ Consciousness” and has been demonstrated by such individuals as Jesus. What if a new understanding of the nature of the soul and the purpose of life on earth could transform humankind? Such is the premise in the Cayce information.
“I want very much to tell my story. You see, there may not be another story like this in all the world.” So begins the tale of eighty-five-year-old Clara Cabot’s remarkable journey through time and history. Clara relates her life story to a reporter, as she has been eyewitness to the rise and fall of a small Utah town and its nearby military base for sixty years. However, much more than a simple tale of history, Clara’s unique narrative describes how actions from previous lives have set in motion her experiences in the present. Her relationship to her younger sister is karmic and associated with the child she abandoned in 19th century Wyoming. Her attraction to a self-centered husband is connected to fantasies she acquired during a seventeenth century life in England, when she longed to be with a self-center lord. Her psychic talent has been a part of her soul since becoming involved in mysticism in early Palestine. Clara’s highly developed intuitive sense, which she calls “looking sideways,” reveals how the tragedies and challenges of the present are simply the continuation of patterns set in motion in the long ago past. At first a complete skeptic, the reporter is won over by the narrative and eventually comes to understand her own surprising connection to Clara Cabot through time. Clara’s story portrays the amazing saga of the soul and some surprising revelations about the nature of life and the responsibility each of us shares in co-creating our lives.
For years Edgar Cayce, the most documented psychic of all time, provided a small group of individuals with lessons in soul growth and personal transformation. This volume presents a new look at those major principles. From the first lesson on cooperation through others on ideals, patience, oneness and love, this book provides specific tools for personal and spiritual development. The Cayce information suggests that each individual has a definite purpose for living. There is also the promise that with a spiritual intent we can come to understand that purpose. We are all here for a reason, a reason that joins us in search of a common heritage. Presented here are insights for awakening to our spiritual nature and to an awareness of the purpose of the soul. Edgar Cayce’s Twelve Lessons in Personal Spirituality is designed as a tool for personal reflection, as a handbook for small group discussion, and even as a source of encouragement during those moments when the challenges of life seem more overwhelming than the beauty of it. For though we may be separated by language, or religion, or customs, or race, or even vast distances, we all share the earth as our temporal home, we are all Children of the same God, and we are all seekers along the way.
For millennia, the Arab world has been one of extremes: a place where wind-swept desert plains coexist with tropical climes and rich vegetation. It is a place where the splendor and majesty of some of the largest and oldest cities on earth provide a stark contrast to wandering desert nomads who travel with all belongings in tow–a place where warring peoples are as common as a depth of spiritual commitment found few places on earth. This novel traces the development of the legendary city of Ishlandoen, a great metropolis that arose on the plains of the Persian desert and eventually gave birth to the Zoroastrian faith. The story follows the life of a reluctant leader, Ravi, who was trained from his birth to bring a scattered desert people together into one nation. It is the story of a powerful nemesis, the emperor of Lydia, who resides in pampered luxury while his kingdom is rampant with unspeakable crimes of lack. It is the tale of a mysterious Egyptian holy man who possesses mystical powers found nowhere else on earth. And it is the story of two young lovers who are separated by a desert and are destined to find one another. Woven together with accounts of magic and mystery, desert skirmishes and intrigue, passion and one’s search for meaning, the story explores the wonder of ancient Persia. Within its pages, A Persian Tale describes the formation of a new city upon the hills and the plains of a desert, destined to forever alter the history of its people, laying the foundation for one of the most important religious movements that the world would ever know.
