Summary
Known as "the Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce is probably the best-known
American seer. He gave readings from a hypnotic trance state. For many years
they mainly addressed individual medical problems, but later they broadened to
take in topics that ranged from reincarnation and dreamwork to the "Earth
Changes" and general transformation that he predicted for the final decades of
the 20th century.
Cayce's work is carried on by the Association for Research and Enlightenment,
based in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Commentary
Oh, we were enthusiastic students of Cayce back at the old U.C. Davis
Experimental College in the late '60s. He had said (in the book Edgar Cayce on
Prophecy) that massive Earth Changes were just around the corner, and we
believed him. He said that two signals that the Changes were heating up would
be increased activity of Mt. Etna and Mt. St. Vincent (St. Vincent, Caribbean),
and there were indications that both were indeed perking up. He said there
would be the reappearance of Atlantean ruins in the waters off the Bimini atoll
(Virgin Islands?) in 1969; and, right on schedule, there was the discovery by
archaeologists of a curious, hook-shaped, obviously manmade formation of large
stones, running for hundreds of yards underwater, just off Bimini. Then we
really believed him!
He said that if there were eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. Pelee (Martinique,
Caribbean), California would do the Monster Mash and tumble into the drink
within three months. Safety areas would be places like Montana a slightly
alarming prediction that has spawned an ongoing scramble for the really high
ground (witness the full sets of topographic maps and accompanying analyses and
debates in the Prophecy and Earth Changes Forum on CompuServe, and elsewhere)
and resulted in healthy net immigration to Montana (where Angie McDowell, John
Perry Barlow, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and the Freemen are now among the
curious bedfellows). Etna, at least, has erupted (and more than once); but
California, like it or not, is still hanging in.
Cayce said that by the late '80s the United States would have "half as much
wealth and twice as much spirituality" quite possibly true, though I'm not
sure how you measure either of those things.
There would be social and political unrest at home and unchecked famine and
disease abroad. Things would come to an Apocalyptic head complete with
shifting Earth's axis, reversal of magnetic poles, and the return of Christ
in the period 1998-2001 a convenient bracketing of the millennium; but then,
Nostradamus could do no better.
To its credit, the A.R.E. has a spirited rebuttal to those who say the Earth
Changes have pooped out.
Cayce was impressive in the 1960s; but I'm less inclined to be blown away
today, particularly after coming across several of his prophetic
contemporaries, who, it turns out, were talking up "Earth Changes" and the
reemergence of Atlantis back into the last century, well in advance of the
Sleeping Prophet (who may have had an eye out). The following was uploaded to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Jan. 26, 1996 (edited slightly for
consistency).
Harriette and Homer Curtiss
"Coming World Changes," 1926
"Owing to volcanic actibity and a tilting of the axis of the Earth, vast and
cataclysmic changes are to take place in the comparatively near future which
will entirely remodel and rearrange the land surface of the globe."
Madame Helena Blavatsky, 1831-1891
"The Secret Doctrine"
"That the periodical sinking and reappearance of mighty continents, now called
Atlantean and Lemurian by modern writers, is not fiction will be demonstrated.
It is only in the 20th century that portions, if not the whole, of the present
work will be vindicated."
"A world destruction as happened to Atlantis 11,000 years ago... instead of
Atlantis all of England and parts of NW European coast will sink into the sea,
in contrast, the sunken Azores region, the Isle of Poseidonis, will again be
raised from the sea."
Lewis Spence, England
"Will Europe Follow Atlantis?" 1930s
"There will be a tilting of the earth's axis which will cause the European
continent to sink."
Count Louis Hamon, England
"Cheiro's World Predictions," 1927
"Germany and Italy will war against France and England.... In the coming 50
years an earthquake zone will develop in NE Pacific coast of Peru up thru to
the Arctic regions.... Eastern cities of the U.S. will be affected and parts of
New York will be destroyed ... in 50-100 years.... A series of earthquakes will
cause the Azores to rise and Atlantis will resurface and be explored." Even
Arthur Conan Doyle (the creator of Sherlock Holmes) got into the act, uttering
these dire words of prophecy in 1915:
A period of natural convulsions during which a large portion of the human
race will perish. Earthquakes of great severity, enormous tidal waves would
seem to be the agents. War appears only in the early stages, and appears to be
a signal for the crisis to follow.The crisis will come in an instant. The
destruction and dislocation of civilized life will be beyond belief. There will
be a short period of chaos followed by some reconstruction; the total period of
upheavals will be roughly three years. The chief centers of disturbance will be
the Eastern Mediterranean basin, where not less than five countries will
entirely disappear. Also in the Atlantic there will be a rise of land which
will be a cause of those waves which will bring about great disasters upon the
Americans, the Irish and Western European shore, involving all of the low-lying
British coasts. There are indicated further great upheavals in the southern
Pacific and in the Japanese region. Mankind can be saved by
returning to its spiritual values.
