This book was written by the son of a man who was, and is now, known as the 'sleeping prophet'. Without getting into a discourse on Cayce himself, it can be said that this short work is a compilation of selected Cayce 'trance readings', with interpretation by Edgar Evans Cayce, that pertain to the lost (and found?) civilization(s) of Atlantis.The crux here is that Cayce seemingly predicted, by virtue of discussion of the technologies of the Atlantean civilization, breakthroughs such as atomic power, lasers, genetic engineering & cloning, and others, all long before such things were part of the modern human tapestry. Cayce died in 1945 and the readings took place beginning in the 1920s.Cayce's trance references to the rediscovery of Atlantis off the coast of Bimini in the late 1960s (decades after Cayce's death), were 'confirmed' by the chance discovery of the Bimini Wall right on schedule. Cayce's prediction of the discovery of the Atlantis 'Hall of Records' under the paw of the Sphinx was perhaps likewise confirmed when an hitherto unknown chamber was found precisely there just recently. It remains unopened as of this writing.Cayce claimed that his trances, mostly conducted as healing readings for the ill as measures of last resort, and to which references to Atlantis were apparently incidental, were in fact communications with spiritual 'entities' across the ether of time and space. Spiritual reincarnation of the entities is implied, as Cayce was, it seems, himself a citizen of Atlantis.It is important to note that Cayce took no pay for his work, lived a modest life, and, to this author's knowledge, has never been accused of fraud or deceit of any kind.
The most interesting part of this book is the portions that talk about the fall of mankind on how and why it happened. It talks about the sons of God coming down to Earth to take wives. Large men and beings are the result that threaten to take over all of mankind. This may sound a little far fetched until you find supporting stories in Genesis Chapter 6 in the Bible and in the Dead Sea Scrolls.Edger Cayce talked about the technologies of Atlantis in detail and predicted that the weapon that destroyed Atlantis would be discovered 25 years from year the of his reading. 25 years later, lazar beam technology began it's infancy. Also, there is transportation and communications methods mentioned that have not yet been developed in our culture as well as indications that ancient civilization understood the atomic energy. (Atomic energy had not yet been conceived at the time of the Edgar Cayce readings.)This book claims that man has been on the Earth for at least 10,500,000 years which would completely explain the Pyramids at Geza. It also talks about technology that is still in our distant future but probably not more that 100-200 years. The book claims that these ancient societies were not much different from our own. You have groups trying to improve working conditions for workers, followers of Belail (evil) who want to destroy the world, and followers of the Law of One (which I presume is the same God talked about in the Bible.)It also talks about the dissemination of knowledge throughout the world which would explain the 356 day calendar that you see in part of Mexico passed down from the Aztecs and amongst the Hopi Indian tribes in the United States.My only complaint about this book is that the supporting evidence is there, but brief.
