Cayce is a fascinating character. Because of his deep faith, he wrestled with the concept of reincarnation and tries to reconcile a biblical explanation for what he experienced in the "life" readings. I found the final chapters of the book more interesting than much of the rest of the book. But it deserves better treatment overall than was given by Kirkus.
Edgar Cayce is also known as the "Father of Holistic Medicine," whose unorthodox naturopathic cures, while helping many regain their health who had been given up as hopeless by the medical establishment, once led to his arrest on grounds of practising medicine without a licence.
In "My Life As a Seer," we get to know the Edgar Cayce who struggled with self-doubts regarding his psychic gift, and with concerns about the impact which the information from his readings might have on those who sought his counsel. We meet Cayce the family man, a photographer by profession, whose deep faith sees him through a series of defeats, including the destruction by fire of his studio; the closure, for lack of funds, of the hospital he had spent years trying to build; an eviction from his home; and physical injuries suffered while being the target of a humiliating attempt to expose him as a fraud. Through it all, Cayce remained a sincere and humble man,who was motivated not by fame nor by riches (which eluded him all his life), but by an overwhelming desire to serve God and help his fellow human beings.
"My Life As a Seer," as grandson Charles Thomas Cayce says in the foreword, represents "the first account of Edgar Cayce's life told completely in his own words. He does not dwell on all of the personal aspects of his life, but focuses primarily on those experiences that marked him since childhood as decidedly different from anyone else in his world."
Reading this fascinating book is the closest most of us will come to talking with Edgar Cayce in this lifetime.
Child support is regulated by a very complex set of laws and policies constantly changing. Welfare reform has had a significant impact in changing the regulatory environment. Automation continues to improve and expand options and avenues. Legislation now requires what used to take a couple of weeks to be done in a couple of days. Judicial control has been streamlined to be more administrative in nature. In the three short years since publication, the child support work force in Colorado has grown from 400 to 600 workers to handle the additional tasks. The reader should take great heed in the disclaimer on the copyright page and check everything stated with either a child support or private attorney.
Most states could replace the forms with their own and do a mass change of "Colorado" to their own state name and much of the material would be applicable.
When Chuck says, "If you did not understand the rules...the first time, don't feel bad. It can even take months for lawyers to get this straight," he is absolutely correct. However, his writing is quite clear and patience will be rewarded. Quizes and answers every few pages with extensive examples illustrate most any scenario. Chuck achieves his aim to provide the parents with the knowledge needed to do their own child support work. One only wishes the material could be placed on the internet and kept up to date.
