Thanks for the reply, Frayed1

I can shed some light on your question(s), but like so much that has to do with the mysteries in the human mind about God, there are many, many different paths to follow when you ask about the Sleeping Subject (SS).

Both of your site references take one to the Fellowship web site and for my tastes, is superior to the Foundation's web site thanks to so many different documents available on all subjects that surround the mysterious appearance of the text. I think it is extremely helpful for interested readers to examine the time line found by clicking on your "Link". It is a quick read and provides the essential line of development.

John M. Bunker & Karen L. Pressler, in 1999, published a book on the idea that Edgar Cayce and the SS were the same. I know the Cayce family has denied it and so have the older members of the Foundation (e.g. - see Dr. Sprunger's archive on the Fellowship web site) who were witness to the last few years of preparing for publication.

It would make some loose ends come together if one could say that Cayce and the SS were the same, but they were not.

The SS is known to have been a business man working on the Chicago Board of Trade during the 1910's and later. But the revelators asked that his identity be kept a strict secret. From that day to this, no one alive has any knowledge of who this man’s name was and never shall.

You did not ask for how the SS was used, but I thought you would be interested to know that the role he played has never been entirely clear as to how it was achieved. He was a spiritual liaison, but always asleep, and never aware of the activity around him which was considerable. When there were administrative chores to take care of between the Contact Commission (CC) (six humans) and the Revelatory Commission (unseen, but heard celestial presences), the SS would be awake with voice being used, but it was not, according to the CC, his voice. He was permitted to be awake only when business was to be transacted, not when the text of the Papers were to be produced.

The extraordinary thing to note is that the Papers that became the text were materialized in his presence. They did not appear without him being present although corrections did appear without him and then always in a locked safe within the mansion in which the book was being prepared.

If the details interest anyone, they may be found in the book by Larry Mullins, A History of The URANTIA Papers, (See all of Chapter Four, pp 65-83), Penumbra Press, August 21, 2000.
