Reviews

[Jim Nail · Rating 1 out of 5]

I only read this to research character and incidents for a piece of fiction I’m working on. As a young man growing up in earthquake country I was riddled with anxiety over the prophecies of great earth cataclysms as the magnetic poles shift. But we’re still here and things are weird in ways totally different than we thought. Most intelligent people dismiss Cayce as a quack but he still has believers which fascinates me, in fact I am fascinated in general by the diversity of things that people believe. This book, written by one of Cayce’s staunch followers and biographer, is not full of doom and gloom but purports that many of the earth catastrophes Cayce predicted can be forestalled if we just “get right with God.” Imagine the most fundamentalist, evangelical Christian doctrine and then throw in a bunch of stuff about Atlantis, how they originally created the Death Ray to kill the annoying dinosaurs that were messing up their everyday lives, but then they got addicted to power until it took them down, but the true spirit of Atlantis will return and escort us into a New Age. I can’t really say these people have done all that much harm, maybe they’ve even done some good. So I’ll give the book one star. It has some merit.
