      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to two people who, aside from Edgar Cayce (the man who gave the readings), were most important in making this information from the readings available to the world as a whole:

      Hugh Lynn Cayce—Edgar’s son

      and

      Gladys Davis Turner—Edgar’s secretary

      They, like Edgar, have moved on to another dimension, but their reality and the good that they did does indeed live on.
