Edgar Cayce -- On Reincarnation and Karma (Excerpts From The Readings)

Описание: Edgar Cayce, often called the “Sleeping Prophet,” offered a unique blend of Christian mysticism and Eastern philosophy, especially in his readings on reincarnation and karma. These concepts became central to his teachings. Here’s a distilled look at what he taught about both:

🔁 Reincarnation (Cayce's View)

Cayce's readings affirmed reincarnation as a soul's ongoing journey toward spiritual wholeness. Some key points:

Purpose of Reincarnation: We reincarnate not as punishment, but as a learning process. Life after life is a chance to grow spiritually and correct past mistakes.

Past Lives Influence the Present: Traits, talents, fears, and even illnesses may stem from past-life experiences. For example, someone with an unexplained phobia of water might have drowned in a past life.

No Eternal Damnation: Everyone is evolving, and no soul is permanently lost. Hell is not a fixed place but a state of separation from God, which can be healed.

Choice and Destiny: While our life circumstances are influenced by past actions (karma), we still have free will to choose our path in this life.

⚖️ Karma (Cayce's View)

Cayce described karma as spiritual cause and effect, but not in a punitive sense.

Karma as Balance, Not Punishment: It’s not about "getting what you deserve" in a harsh way—it’s about restoring balance and learning spiritual lessons.

Karma Is an Opportunity: Challenges in life aren’t punishment—they’re opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation.

Relationships and Karma: Family and close relationships are often karmic connections—souls who’ve interacted in past lives come together again to work things out, support each other, or resolve unfinished business.

Grace Overrides Karma: Through spiritual awakening, love, service, and alignment with divine will, karma can be transformed or softened. Cayce emphasized the power of Christ-consciousness and grace to redeem and uplift.

🧠 Cayce’s Unique Blend:

Cayce was a devout Christian, and he interpreted reincarnation and karma within a Christian context:

Jesus was the pattern soul—fully attuned to divine will.

The soul’s ultimate destiny is to reunite with God.

The teachings of Christ (love, forgiveness, service) are the most direct path to overcoming karma and completing the soul's journey.
