Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"Spirit is the life, mind is the builder, and the physical is the result." These words, repeated often by Edgar Cayce [1877-1945] while in a hypnotic trance, describe the formula behind the existence of the physical world and all its trappings, and that includes you and all life on earth. If you would like to know the meaning of life, how you came to be, and how to find purpose in order to make the most of it, this book is a must-read.Known worldwide during his lifetime as "The Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce twice-daily put himself into a hypnotic trance and was able to answer any question put to him. As the very extensive record shows, the accuracy of information revealed by Cayce that could be checked and verified was nothing less than extraordinary. Author and metaphysician Stephen Hawley Martin interviewed authorities steeped in the information contained in Cayce's more than 14,000 psychic readings and in doing so received answers to questions humans have pondered since they first came down from trees and walked upright on the African savanna. Martin shares the interviews and the answers in this volume, along with a bonus book, "The Magic of Mission: Discover Your Purpose, Find Meaning, Achieve Success, and Above All, Be Happy," which he wrote to pinpoint a way for you to identify your mission and use Cayce's formula to achieve it.Don't miss this incredibly enlightening and empowering read.
