"Edgar Cayce was far from the obscure mystic or mysterious oracle; he is doubtless one of the most well documented psychics of any age. During his lifetime, the "sleeping prophet" was a veritable celebrity, and even today, the A.R.E., or Association for Research and Enlightenment, administers to a library of transcripts of Cayce's "clairvoyant insights," numbered between 14,000 and 30,000. While the majority of these are "health readings," diagnoses and treatments dictated by Cayce for patients he had often never met, a sizable number are "life readings." These readings departed from Cayce's repertoire of homeopathic and folk treatments, and ventured into more traditional psychic ground: Cayce described an individual's past incarnations, placing many souls on the legendary continent of Atlantis. While Cayce never created a cohesive history or cultural account of his Atlantis, a detailed picture emerges from the various references to the lost society in the collected life readings. Surprisingly, this picture is not a pseudo-homeopathist's simplified Utopia, but a complex allegory, a cautionary tale of technology used for self-gratification and materialistic pursuits.

Cayce' first reference to past lives or the ancient world occurred on October 11, 1923. Cayce said of a client, "Third appearance in this plane. He was once a monk"(Cayce, 34). Cayce performed 2500 subsequent life readings (Cayce 34), detailing past lives and their impact on the individual's, or "entity's" present incarnation. Knowledge of past lives, Cayce believed, would assist an individual in understanding their "karmic patterns" and best using their current life to balance positive and negative karmic patterns." - Excerpt from Edgar Cayce Biography.

Edgar Cayce had many predictions some which seem exceedingly bizarre to those of us who live past the time Atlantis was supposed to reappear and California sink into the ocean. Supposedly his accuracy for other themes like the Great Depression and World Wars I and II was much better. Clearly, as a prophet, Edgar Cayce's work could be questioned. However, as a man who understood the multidimensionality of life and the symbolic nature of existence, I think he was unique in the 20th century.

Much of Edgar Cayce's work centered around dream interpretations and life readings. Through these transcripts much information was gleaned on the nature of symbols as a form of communication between the super conscious and ego. Despite this, Edgar Cayce believed that each individual had their own symbology by means of which they used to communicate with their super conscious or Divinity. He promoted meditation as a means to get in touch with that method of communication and begin to decode the messages to Self that we hide within these symbols.

Sometimes dream connections can be made through the symbol of a character in your dream. Much like everyday people can trigger connections to other existences, past, future or alternate, dream characters can trigger connections to them as well. By paying attention to a particular dream character that appears and reappears in one's dream one can begin to unravel the mystery that is Self.
Beyond The Dream

For people who are not aware of their multidimensionality, the idea of past lives or multiple focuses of existence seems a fantasy of immense proportions. Add to that the further metaphysical understanding that multiple focuses aren't just about "past lives" but also about future or alternate probabilities, and you would have most people in the Western hemisphere shaking their heads wondering why one life isn't enough for you. I wonder that myself sometimes. But, for some people it isn't about discovering past lives, it's about being confronted by them.

All the world is a symbol, whether in your waking or sleeping state. Jung called many of these symbols "archetypes." Clairvoyants often do their work through the interpretation of symbols seen in a person's aura. If one is to understand that all information is symbolic in nature, holding many levels of meaning, one can understand how the appearance of a particular person, place, or thing can catapult one back to a different focus. Thus, you are not focusing on remembering, you merely allow the Remembrance to find you.

Recently, I saw a Greek Orthodox Cross worn by a special someone and I realized the Knights Templar connection which he confirmed. Often, the very choices in clothing and style that we prefer are influences of other focuses of our own life subset. The symbols we are attracted to speak volumes about who we are, not just in this lifetime, but as a soul essence. If I had been clairvoyant, I might have actually seen the Knights Templar Cross in his aura. Many of us wear symbols in our aura to represent who we are and to allow easy recognition by other soul entities as we masquerade as little ol' nobodies. I figure no one is a nobody walking the planet at this point. We're here in the middle of the largest Shift in Consciousness this planet has ever seen. I doubt there are any nobodies on board for the ride.

Imagine a world where every person you meet is no longer a stranger to you. You read their life and preferences in their aura as simply as if you had read a copy of their resume.

"I remember when you and I hid in Scotland after King Phillip betrayed us." You might suggest to one of your coworkers and not have them look at you like you'd lost your mind.

"I remember a time in Egypt when you were one of the lesser princes," you might shock a recent acquaintance with.

"I know you," a 'new' friend might tell you as they shake hands with you. "You and I were in a Tibetan monastery together, right?" And you would agree!

Is this a frightening look or an intensely personal level of connection? It all depends on how comfortable we are with our Self. It all depends on whether we can hold the mirror to our own image and see the whore, the saint, the murderer, the monk, the pauper, and the prince, and call it all good. In the end, this is what multidimensional Remembrance is all about: Connection. We are busy re-connecting to our wondrous and varied Divine Self -- whether it makes any logical sense or not -- whether it has a material payback or not.
