A must have for anyone seeking to improve his life
This book, which was the very first one that introduced me to the works of Edgar Cayce, changed my life dramatically.

WHY IT'S GOOD: It's practical. One of my biggest complaints about the more popular self help books out there is that they tend to be all fluffy, idealistic, super New Age talk without any real, practical advice that you can use. Yeah, it's great to be pummeled to death with the idea that "with your mind," you can do anything you want to do. But in order to change your life, you still need practical solutions you can use. Luckily, this book is one of the rare New Age ones that is a happy balance between New Age ideas and practical wisdom. Even if you think there are some weird concepts in here that you might not cotton to, you will still walk away from it having learned some important practical things you can apply in your own life, like:

1. Setting ideals (instead of goals).

2. Looking at role models for inspiration (instead of "looking deep into yourself" and going, "I think I can, I think I can")

3. And learning to turn negative traits in yourself into something positive (this is a far cry from typical self help books which always tell you that you should only look at the positive in yourself).

This is an excellent book. Don't let its New Age-ness scare you (or the fact that its material was based on the readings of a psychic). ARE Press, the people who published this, produces the most practical, well thought out, and realistic personal growth books on the market today-- better than Chopra, better than Zukav, even better than Weil. You'll find no vague, mumbo-jumbo, pseudo wisdom here, but real down to earth advice. So please buy it! Your life will definitely change for the better.

Unbiased Assessment Of The Cayce Readings
One of the goals of this book is to determine if the information provided in the Cayce psychic readings could have been obtained by Cayce from conventional sources such as books or contact with other people. Also the accuracy of the psychic info is examined.

The general conclusion as I understand it is that Cayce had little interest in reading about esoteric subjects in his normal (non trance) life. In any case he wasn't that much of an intellectual. So there is very little verifiable evidence that the psychic info was influenced by existing sources to any significant degree.

The psychic info about things like Atlantis and past or future events is presented as being less than completely accurate and reliable. However I disagree with this.

Problem: Cayce said earth changes and other historical events would occur in 1958 and 1998 such as New York City would sink under the ocean.

Answer: He didn't say '1958' and '1998'. He said '58 and '98. This could mean any years such as 2058, 3198, etc. (Other supporters of Cayce have said that he was correct but people changed so the future events didn't occur. However this is not an accurate description of a prophet. Prophets only say things that happen. Anyone can say something 'might' happen.)

Those 20 years cycles come up in relation to the time travel experiments that were performed by the navy during The Philadelphia Experiement which later became The Montauk Project.
The earth is on some type of 20 year cycle.

Problem: It is highly unlikely that such a high percentage of those who received psychic readings would have personally known Cayce and Jesus Christ in past lives.

Answer: It was Cayce's hope and prayer to help people understand themselves and their relationship to God in his own unique way. God answered his prayer and sent those people into his life to help him accomplish his goal. (Cayce said he wrote the gospel of Luke in a past life.)

Problem: If a highly advanced civilization such as Atlantis existed we would have some evidence of their advanced technology.

Answer: Such evidence does exist. It's called 'the great pyramid'. In his book The Giza Power Plant Christopher Dunn proves that the great pyramid was a machine like a form of nuclear reactor. The gigantic granite blocks inside the pyramid contain crystals which transformed energy to generate a cosmic energy beam. This is eerily similar to Cayce's description of the temple in Atlantis with its crystal technology and death ray.

Any other discrepancies found in the Cayce readings can be attributed to misunderstandings which occurred when the information was recorded or to misinterpretation.

I think I have demonstrated that everything Cayce said while he was in the trance state is true.

This audio tape provides new insights into Edgar Cayce
This meditation tape really helps the beginner meditator. Not expecting one to have prior beliefs or religious convictions (though Cayce himself was a devout Christian and read the bible once for every year of his life), you can really benifit from this tape in amazing personal ways

millennium prophecies
This book is the most comprehensive book on prophecies for modern times that I have seen. It covers an amazingly broad range of prophets (as the title indicates) and includes prophecies from Ruth Montgomery, Osho, and Buddha, among others. The author takes a very clear headed and methodical approach to the subject. It is a wonderful book for those who are skeptical about the coming earth changes. Many modern books on this topic can come across as flakey and unscientific, but this one has a very solid feel to it. For more open-minded yet still critical people I would also recommend all of the books of Ruth Montgomery on this topic, particularly the most recent one, The World To Come.

Almost on the mark
I believe that the content of this book was basically correct about the coming earth changes and the second coming. The only thing wrong was the author's timeline of events to come. The predictions of Nostradamus, Cayce, the hopi indians,Revelations etc. were explained in a way that was easy to understand. I am looking forward to his revised edition of this book and I believe that he will be the only one to get the time right!

"Much more action than celestine "..... L. Ron Hubbard
This is the first thing I read of Cayce. It is all excerpts straight from the readings. There are no interpretations, conjecture or filtering through this relative or that author. This is straight from the mouth of one of the most documented psychics of the 20th century. I believe that what is in this book was transcribed from edgar cayce while he was in a trance. I may be gullible, but I would just rather believe in everything than pick one thing for life. The book is separated into several sections. For instance, "On Self and Others" and "On Choice and the Will." The excerpts are usually a short to medium paragraph. This is a pocket sized book, perfect for quick reads and bursts of insight. Here's one of my favorites: "For this entity should comprehend and know, and never forget, that life and its experiences are only what one puts into same! And unless the activities, the thoughts are continuously constructive, and the experience well-balanced, the entity cannot, will not fulfill the purpose for which it came into the present experience." - 1537-1 For those who havent read about Cayce its a great introduction to the man in his own words. For people who have already become intrigued with Cayce, this is a useful compendium of some of trance boy's most scintillating insights from beyond. % % % % 1/2 -Tom Cates

Only for Cayce fans.
This book does not reveal anything about Edgar Cayce that wasn't previously known so Cayce fans won't find anything new in it and those who arn't into Cayce won't find it of interest. The book is published by ARE Press, the outfit that publishes all the Cayce material, so what else would it be about. There are better Cayce books and much better 'life after death' books around.

The Best One Yet!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost someone they love or simply has a curiosity about what happens when we die. It answers so many questions that we all have regarding the afterlife. It gives hope to those of us who are grieving, that we will see our loved ones again. It's the best book I've read yet on the subject and it's my #1 recommendation. Well organized and written so that most readers can comprehend it. A great work!

This book is a much-needed Light at the end of the Tunnel!
So many books out there on life after death cover one aspect of this vast subject. In "The Place We Call Home," the author has answered a wide variety of universal questions concerning this subject and drawn from very credible sources. I'd read Dr. George Ritchie's book on his near-death experience, in the Place We Call Home, the author obviously interviewed him and brought out amazing details not included in Ritchie's books. Ritchie glimpsed the realms of heaven and hell - and Grant found correlations from diverse sources that shed so much light and all agreed! Grant detailed that God loves us unconditionally; but it is human beings who create their own hellish after-death state by hating their fellow man;harboring prejudices;being vengeful. Ritchie, Edgar Cayce, British writer Helen Greaves, all said where we go after this life depends upon how much we chose to love, to forgive, being kind,etc., all the virtues of the spirit. In short,all that we build in this life goes with us after death. Those who hate will find themselves in a place after death that reflects that. Edgar Cayce experienced the hellish realms in visions,and Dr. Ritchie saw the same things. However,unlike the fundamentalists beliefs, there is no eternal damnation. Grant managed to show a multifaceted picture that every soul has the opportunity to move out of the "shadowlands"; this is based not on one person's view, but on many. He also writes how we can work with dreams to help heal the grief from a loved one's passing. Dreams are a doorway,according to Grant,where our loved ones can communicate with us. In short,they still hear us and love us;and if we've got unfinished business,guilt,remorse like,"I wished I'd told her Iloved her before she died," the book shows,beautifully,that love can't die and it's never too late to say the things in our heart. They shed the body, at death, but that's it--they still love us and they feel our hurts, pain,and our joy. We've been taught it's too late after they're dead. Grant has a step-by-step exercise that brought me GREAT HEALING...I know now,like Grant said,"the bonds of love are spiritual,not physical...and they continue to exist after death..." What a relief, a joy and a treasure this book is. He discusses what happens during the dying process at the soul level - and that relieved and helped me so much. And reading it made me want to be aboutthe business of being kind,loving,compassionate NOW. Hell is seeing after you die that you chose not to forgive or be kind. And according to Grant, we will all have to review every thought, deed, and act of our lives. And we will experience the impact we had through the eyes of every person we helped,andthose that we hurt. That saying, "he's gone to his reward," is truer than anything. We go after death, to what we've built,and we inherit it. I thank God for this book. I have a new chance everyday to make a difference. And the good we just try to do here,according to Grant,goes out and uplifts the entirety of the universe! And yes,"that which you sow, (here on earth),"so shall ye reap"(afterdeath). This book made me stop and ask,"What am I building?" EVERYONE should read this book....There is a Light at the end of the Tunnel! (please edit this, I know Iwentoff on a tangent...if you don't print it,Iunderstand....maybe someonethere on your staff will pick up this book. If one person does, then my mission is fulfilled!


Ancient South America: Recent Evidence Supporting Edgar Cayce's Story of Atlantis and Mu

Flawed Atlantis Destruction History Trumps Book's Thesis
This book seeks to correlate times of human migrations -- from Atlantis and Mu to South America - with dates derived from mutation rates of individuals' mitochondrial DNA and with Cayce-readings dates for three destructions of Atlantis and Mu. Roughly two-thirds of the text succeeds in this endeavor. The remaining third fails miserably.

Authors' ignorance of what the readings actually say, coupled with the delight that goes with making up and then referring to imaginary "Cayce readings," is probably the best explanation of what has spoiled this book.

In what might be an otherwise useful study, one finds evidence of deceptive interpretations of several Cayce readings and embarrassing references to imaginary ones. These abominations are used to prop up a flawed "destruction chronology" for the legendary continents of Mu and Atlantis. The outline for this chronology was first advanced in E. E. Cayce's book, "The Mysteries of Atlantis Revisited." Dates for the first and second destructions given in "Ancient South America" are at significant variance with the specific destruction dates given in the Cayce readings. The authors' dates thus void the central thesis of their book re. migrations from Atlantis and Mu to South America.

Impeccable Credentials Yield A Winning Book
If you enjoyed the Mound Builders by these authors you will find this book of value as well. Ditto if you are interested in psychic phenomena or archeology. I trust the book gets wide circulation in archeology circles. I would love to see what the "rebuttal" would be for this book from the archeology community. In typical fashion the authors are very careful with the facts and acknowledge any weakness in the evidence as well as saying the final evidence is not in as yet. I learned new things in this book like the presence of several thousand balls made of granite - hand polished - that have been found in a wide region of Costa Rica some as large as seven feet in diameter weighing more than 16 tons. These man made spheres are completely unique in the world. There are other gems like this in the book. John Van Auken has written at least seven other books concerning Edgar Cayce, which certainly qualifies him as an expert on the Cayce readings thus I have no concerns about the accuracy with regard to the Cayce readings discussed in the book. I enjoyed this read.

Ancient South America
Ancient South America, the authors of this book assert, may have some of the most mysterious and ancient ruins and sites to be found anywhere else in the world. Thousands of miles of ancient roadways and countless cities and temples. In addition, the authors claim that new archaeological evidence and genetic studies from South America provide historical evidence that matches "almost perfectly" with what the psychic readings of Kentucky's "Sleeping Prophet" Edgar Cayce revealed about the ancient people there, who, according to Cayce's readings originated from Atlantis and Mu!
The book is a concise and comprehensive compilation of the latest scientific evidence that supports Cayce's readings on South America, containing also many incredible photographs and illustrations of ancient sites and ruins as well. It's compilers work within the infrastructure of the ARE (Association for Research and Enlightment) organization itself, known also as the Cayce Foundation. Their qualifications are impeccable. The book is very reasonably priced and full of the latest and most up-to-date information available anywhere. You just can't possibly go wrong!


The Edgar Cayce Way of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis : Vibratory Medicine

Getting Tired of the "I Recovered From MS" books
To be clear, I didn't read Dr. Delany's book. I have read several other books in the same genre, and I just wanted to set the record straight: MANY MANY people recover from their first and second and third bouts w/ MS and lead normal lives for 10 or 15 years afterwards. MS is a disease that is KNOWN for its relapsing/remitting pattern. Anyone who tells you that they had MS and then recovered from it by using some treatment are misguided. Chances are EXCELLENT that they would have recovered anyway. My first attack left me paralyzed and bedridden for 14 months. Then, after an aggressive application of steroids, I quickly recovered and was symptom-free for almost 7 years. But I didn't claim to be cured, nor did I tout steroids as a miracle cure for MS. Because I got worse again. And so will Dr. Delany.

Help for Multiple Sclerosis: The Treatment That Works
A success story is always encouraging, especially if it helps us to break out of the commonly held belief that certain illnesses have, as yet, no cure. In The Edgar Cayce Way of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: Vibratory Medicine, Dr. Dudley Delany, a now retired chiropractor, massage therapist, and registered nurse, challenges the medical viewpoint of multiple sclerosis as an incurable disease. Dr. Delany's inspiring account of how he successfully reversed his own symptoms of MS with therapies recommended in the Cayce readings is indeed a fountain of hope for the estimated 2 1/2 million people worldwide who suffer from this often debilitating condition.

In the Cayce readings, the usual cause of MS is seen as a deficiency of gold in the body related to a failure of the digestive system to properly assimilate that mineral from dietary sources. The holistic approach recommended by Edgar Cayce for the treatment of MS includes diet, spinal manipulation, massage, disciplines for spiritual attunement, and, in particular, a device known as the Wet Cell Battery, designed to introduce into the ailing system the vibratory energy of gold. The body responds to vibratory gold by increasing its assimilation of that element.

Dr. Delany provides a detailed description of the construction, operation, and care of the Wet Cell Battery and a related device, the Radial Appliance. One chapter outlines the relative merits of each device, enabling the reader to make an informed choice as to which of the two instruments might be more appropriate for his or her specific condition. Clear illustrations are used to explain both the function of these appliances and the manner in which they are applied to the body in a treatment session.

A special section on diet addresses the nutritional guidelines to be followed in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The widespread occurrence of celiac disease (gluten intolerance) and other food sensitivities among MS patients is also discussed. Two chapters dedicated to answering the most commonly asked questions provide a wealth of specific information, compiled from the author's unique perspective as both a health professional and an MS patient who has personally experienced the regenerative powers of vibratory medicine.

Now in its fifth edition, Dr. Delany's well-written book revolutionizes our understanding of multiple sclerosis and encourages those who are afflicted, or who have loved ones with this condition, to apply, as Dr. C. Norman Shealy says in the foreword, "the very simple and safe treatments Cayce proposed well over 50 years ago."

Dudley Delaney's book -
I first became familiar with the writings of Edgar Cayce, about 30 years ago, after reading Gina Cerminera's book, "Many Mansions."

Her book chronicled Cayce's life and his remarkable ability to offer cures to countless people across the nation who were suffering from diseases, many of which had not yet even been diagnosed.

Given he had only a minimal education and was capable of only giving readings for individuals while he was asleep, I was intrigued by this "sleeping prophet."

Cerminera's book was one of the few I was simply unable to set down. Cayce did thousands of physical readings and every one of them benefited an individual! His recommendations were impeccable.

Dr. Delaney's book traces Cayce's suggestions for individuals with multiple sclerosis. I am not surprised Dudley's symptoms are in remission.

I have read his book and recommend it to anyone wanting to stand in the possibility that Cayce was a rare individual who was able to tap into answers for hundreds of thousands of people.

Edgar Cayce Killed People
Most dramaticly and ironcally his own son

Very Puzzling life and book, successful cures from trance?
Although there is impressive testimony that many of Edgar Cayce's medical treatments proved to be successful, and are still used today, in one form or another, it boggles the scientific mind to be able to accept that such cures were imparted to Mr. Cayce through a trance like state of sleep and that during his waking hours he had no knowledge of the meaning or methods of his prescribed cures.There is much mumbo jumbo in the book, involved with trying to explain the meaning of his various predictions about the changes to take place in the world. Due to the vagueness of most of his predictions, one could pick a year and find some thing to apply it to to prove that he had great powers. His greatest supporters in today's world would seem to be the osteopaths who have successfully used his prescriptions and natural alternative treatments to help ailing patients. Would be interesting to hear a report from their view!

A Prophet and Remarkable man
One has to consider the time this occurred and the level of education of Edgar Cayce. He was incredible and I find it sad that people reading it today are unable to grasp the importance of his work. I think this is a book all thinking people should read and understand in context. If a reader is too literally minded or unwilling to accept the possibility of miracles then (s)he should read something else.
