One of the most fascinating topics found in the readings of famed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) revealed the existence of a sacred sect called the Essenes. His information about the Essenes would later be confirmed by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls two years after his death. Cayce's readings contained more than a description of who the Essenes were and their purpose in bringing the Christ into the earth, he gave us details about their lives and past lives! Many of these Essenes reincarnated during Cayce's time and received readings that revealed their souls—including their purposes then and now. What can we learn from these readings and the reincarnation of the Essenes? There is so much about our origin, our soul group, and the purpose for which we are here on earth today in this latest book that it is like having a manual for soul growth. Ideals, practices, and guiding principles held by these ancient ones are as valuable to us today as they were then.

John Van Auken combines his love of Kabbalah with his 40 years of studying the psychic readings of world-famous seer Edgar Cayce to take us on a mind-expanding journey through creation and the higher levels of our consciousness. Van Aukens easy writing style helps to shed light on the most complicated concepts in Kabbalah, making it easier to grasp the five divisions of our being, the four planes of existence, the seven heavens, the ten emanations, and the twenty-two channels of the Infinite Creative Consciousness. We also learn how to expand our minds to perceive these realms, to journey through them, and, to remain sane, healthy, and active in our present life. Van Auken brings in insights from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and even ancient Egyptian theology, and includes Gnosticism and Neo-Platonism in this multi-dimensional vista. A reading journey into Edgar Cayce and the Kabbalah offers you a personal road map to higher consciousness and a happier, more fulfilling life!

Of all of his clairvoyant excursions into the past, some of the most remarkable information that came through Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), explored the activities of a little known Jewish sect called the Essenes. More than eleven years before the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 1947, Cayce’s readings provided detailed descriptions of the Essenes, their activities, their community, the records they kept, and the fact that both men and women were members of the society. In one reading, Cayce was asked to explain the term Essene, “(Q) What is the correct meaning of the term "Essene"? The answer was given simply as, “(A) Expectancy.” The readings go on to suggest that it was this group who took upon itself the entrance of the Messiah into the earth!

John Van Auken combines the collection of Egyptian past lives found in the Cayce readings with Egyptian legends that appear in papyruses, on temple walls, and in pyramid texts for a complete picture that reveals the full story of priestesses, healers, female pharaohs, and gods among humans.

Your true purpose in life is revealed by accessing your essence or spiritual nature—the “spiritual forces within you.” Using the wisdom and vision of the world-famous seer Edgar Cayce, Van Auken helps us reach our spiritual life force that is intimately and ultimately connected to all of life, all of time, and all of space—a part of ourselves that is our true self and is naturally in touch with the infinite and the eternal.

The life force is within us, within our spirit and mind, and this book gives us the tools to fully awaken and activate it. Includes ancient and modern illustrations of the life forces within the human body and mind, maps of consciousness, and diagrams of the body-mind connections.

According to Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), the most-documented psychic of our time, the Bible is a sourcebook for spiritual development that applies to every facet of our lives. Beginning with the story of Genesis and the creation of souls and culminating with the promises of Jesus and The Revelation, you will discover the powerful plan that has been in place since the Beginning—a plan set in motion to restore humanity’s fallen consciousness to its true heritage as spiritual beings.

This is the account of an American teenager who discovered a monastery in Tibet that was the inspiration for the legend of Shangri La. It might be categorized as a 'new age' or philosophy book, like the Celestine Prophecy, since it focuses on his spiritual training and their teachings in a novel-like format. Hard to believe, but interestingly, the sub-tropical region amongst the Himalayas that he describes finding, was later documented by explorers from National Geographic, then 'covered up' (there is still evidence of this). Also interesting is that the author was apparently mentioned in the Edgar Cayce readings (the famous American psychic whose books have sold millions of copies), as someone who would one day bring an important message to the world.
