Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria
An excellent study on
Edgar
Cayce
. The information regarding
Atlantis
and Lumuria is top rated. I highly recommend this book for anyone on a quest for knowledge.
Fascinating!
I have been fascinated with ancient cultures (and possible ancient cultures) since I was a teenager - and I continue to be awed by the archeological findings & ideas presented about
civilizations that
may have been much more technologically advanced than we've given them credit for...
If you have similar interests, "
Edgar
Cayce's
Atlantis
&
Lemuria
" will be of great interest to you. It recounts Edgar Cayce's readings about the sunken lands of Atlantis & Lemuria, and shows how stories that closely match these readings have been handed down over millenia in various cultures - as well as how recent archeological finds have also closely matched the information given during Cayce's readings.
Plato wrote of Atlantis thousands of years ago, and even though we recognize him for being a person who consistently pursued the truth, his writings on Altantis is one of the few things our society discounts as fancy - doesn't that seem odd?
Although there is no proof yet - proving once and for all that Atlantis is a tale or truth - there does seem to be quite a lot of compelling evidence for the latter. I guess only time, and open-minded archeologists & scientists, will tell...
Overall, I found this book to be an interesting, thought-provoking read. If you are at all interested in the possible existence of Atlantis, I would highly recommend it.

An original perspective on Edgar Cayce?
Frank Joseph's book is a fascinating well researched 'take' on
Edgar
Cayce's vision
of
Atlantis
and
Lemuria
but it is also a personal and therefore ideosyncratic one.l have read a smattering of books about Edgar Cayce, though far from all there is dealing with him. l've seen him mentioned in many other books and articles.My particular obscession is Atlantis, mainly from the Platonic perspective, yet Lemuria and ancient cycles of catastrophe are all interelated to the subject.ln my research l've read several of Mr. Joseph's books and articles as well as the magazine he edits [ANCIENT AMERICAN]. So l'm familiar with both the author and his subject and Atlantis in general.From his past work l know that Joseph respects Cayces vision and personal integrity and that he is sympathetic to subjects of a mystical nature.But he is not a devotee of psychics and occultists where Atlantis is concerned, squarely choosing archaeology and geology over 'NEW AGE' mysticism. This approach may well not be acceptible to those already committed to Cayce because Joseph's chronology and scale differ markedly from those of the 'sleeping prophet'.Whereas Cayce put the final destruction of Atlantis s
light
ly but indefinitely after 10,000 B.C., similar to Plato, Joseph sets it ca. 1200 B.C., 8800 years later.While Joseph sees the origins of Atlantis between 5000 and 3000 B.C. [ the Neolithc] Cayce places it beyond 50,000 years ago, maybe as long as 10,500,000 years ago! Cayce's vision involves the descent of spirit into matter, an 'event' largely beyond the methodology of science to prove or disprove.And yet if Atlantis existed it aught to be susceptible to physical investigation by geology,archaeology and other disciplines.Joseph believes it is. But the results of that quest do not often mesh with what Cayce said about the
lost
civilizations
, as Joseph reads the evidence. This is bound to enfuriate those who take Cayce literaly.Right or wrong many of the late psychic's supporters treat his words like biblical creationists do with a face value interpretatation of the Bible.Science can be drawn on for support but only when it is in agreement or can be made to sound like it.Admittedly the subject of Atlantis is so taboo amongst conventional scholars that no historical interpretation of the story Plato told is acceptible Joseph's included. For them it is pure allegory.'Cayceites' would like to overturn much of orthodox science in favor of his worldview, at least a few being actively anti-intellectual.Thankfully, Cayce himself, while believing what he said never asked for this 'cultish' attitude. Niether have his direct eirs. They seem to have honestly tried to interpret and verify what he said without demanding a single 'party line'. Understandably they prefer to see him vindicated by science but have never pretended that this has been achieved or may ever be, entirely. l presume that it was with this open attitude that the A.R.E. commissioned Mr. Joseph to write this book as he has made no secret of his theories. They must've realized many of his ideas clashed with those of Cayces' vision of the lost continents yet were sympathetic to the latter.No conventional Academic or 'science journalist' would've touched the subject.They might have been intrigued by Josephs 20 years of research on the subject, often including on site investigations [ at Bimini for example].Perhaps they hoped for a fresh angle rather than a slavish paen to Cayces' infalliblity.What do l think myself? After 33 years of research into Atlantis l believe it existed and l agree with the author that it met it's final end 3200-3100 years ago. l'm less sure of where that last bastion of Atlantean civilization was.l also think, however, that one or more presently unknown acmes of civilization existed before the ' dawn of history', 5000-6000 years ago.Yet how old they ultimately were l've still to decide. As the Caribbean is one strong candidate for the location of such a 'culture-x' maybe Cayce was in part right, though l don't see it as Plato's Atlantis any more than Joseph seems to.I admit my own bias agaisnst accepting everything Cayce said literally. Some evidence appears to support him yet much does not.Far too many blindly believe because the Akashic records reported by Cayce 'could not be wrong'.But any close look at psychic depictions of Atlantis reveals as many devergences as agreements. Allegorical interpretations are only marginally less varied and historcal ones that eschew occult methods may be worse. But they have one great advantage. they admit to being theories, subject to change as new evidence becomes available. They do not claim to be the equivalent of divine revelation. Most psychic sources do. As noted before Cayce himself made no claims to be infallible. So why do so many of his followers ? lf you are interested in Cayce or lost continents but not already committed in your oppinions, buy this book. Those already cmplete beleivers in Cayces' vision doubtless will not appreciate what the author tried to accomplish unless they can agree to dissagree.Even for them it may be worthwhile to give Joseph a fair hearing before deciding for or against his ideas.

Fills In The Missing Pieces Of The History Books
I feel this is a great book, especially for followers of
Edgar
Cayce
. I don't understand why some other reviewers said that this book somehow corrects what Edgar Cayce said. To me it is in complete agreement with what Cayce said, even to the point of devoting an entire chapter to people who were identified in the Cayce readings as having lived in
Atlantis
. They had names like 'Aa-rr-ll-uu' and 'Sululon'.
Scientific evidence does not exist to prove things like the Atlanteans' crystal technology, their ability to travel through time and space, etc.. Since the author is a researcher he doesn't claim that scientific evidence exists where none does exist. But I don't see where he tries to disprove these fantastic but possibly true theories either.
This book discusses the Atlantis that Plato spoke of but by then Atlantis was much like the other races that existed around 1200 BC. This was a much different Atlantis than the one Cayce spoke of with its crystal technology, death rays, genetically engineered 'things', etc.. The islands of Atlantis sank over a period of thousands of years, not all at once if I understand the legends correctly.
I believe that proof of Atlantean technology does exist. It's been sitting on the Giza plateau for thousands of years. It's called 'the great pyramid'. In his book The Giza Power Plant Christopher Dunn proves that the great pyramid was a form of nuclear reactor. Dunn's book proves that the great pyramid was built by people who had god like powers and knowledge of time and space. It was Edgar Cayce in another incarnation as the high priest Ra Ta who built the great pyramid. The sacred geometry for building the great pyramid was given to Ra Ta by another god like being named Horus.
This idea is consistent with 'Edgar Cayce's Atlantis And
Lemuria
'. This book indicates that these god like beings from Atlantis and Lemuria became the mythical gods of later races such as the Incas and Myans. Those later races talk of 'gods' who came from the sea and taught them about new technologies, astronomy, etc.. Eventually most of this knowledge was
lost
as these
civilizations de-volved
to the point of like the Incas began the practice of human sacrifice.
There's a big part of the Atlantis story that's still enshrouded in mystery. All we have is a few statements from Cayce's psychic readings and a few archeological sites under water. You get glimpses of these mysterious topics when in the Cayce readings it refers to things like 'visitations of those from the outer spheres'. This would seem to imply that Atlantis was being visited by beings from other planets, other dimensions, etc..
This book offers a comparison between what happened to Atlantis and our
modern world
. Atlantis was destroyed by the greed of individuals. For them this was catastrophic because their greed could be transformed into energy by the terrible crystals.
The final paragraph of this book is:
"Everyone senses a crossroads just ahead. When we reach it, which example will we follow - Lemuria or Atlantis."
I would answer with a quote from a book called 'UFO Contact From Planet Iarga' which was supposedly communicated to someone by people from another planet called Iarga. The Iargans stated:
"The human race lives for the present since it really has no future."
The Iargans may mean that our human race doesn't have a long term future. Even if we last for another thousand years that's a relatively short time in relation to the universe.
I think most people would agree that many industries have a relatively short term view of using the earth's resources. Maybe somehow everyone knows that what the Iargans said is true.
The Iargans also said that sometimes when people see flying saucers those are our ancestors from Atlantis travelling through time to see us.

Twenty-four centuries after Plato left us his intriguing remarks about
Atlantis
,
Edgar
Cayce began
to talk, in an altered psychic state, about a
lost civilization
on
Lemuria
, Atlantis' Pacific precurser. Frank Joseph now takes a look, via archeology and other fields, at how
modern
discoveries
are bolstering the idea that Atlantis and Lemuria really existed, the disturbing parallels between those
civilizations
and our own, and what those parallels may be telling us.
