Through Cayce's otherworldly journeys, he learned the true interpretation of the Bible. According to Cayce, the Bible is the symbolic account of the fall and restoration of the human soul to its divine origins. Genesis is the symbolic testimony of humanity's fall from heaven and paradise lost. Revelation is the symbolic testimony of humanity's restoration to heaven and paradise found.

The Book of Revelation was written by a man named John (possibly John the Apostle) toward the end of his life. John records a vision he experiences, probably while dreaming or meditating. This vision contains a tremendous amount of symbolism; the same kind of symbolism one would see in a dream, a vision of the spirit world. In fact, the Book of Revelation contains the same symbolism found in the symbols in the Prophet Daniel's dream. All Biblical dreams, such as those of Joseph, Gideon, Daniel, Paul, and Peter, are very symbolic and therefore had a hidden spiritual meaning rather than a literal interpretation of the symbols. Such is the case with the Book of Revelation.

During several of Cayce's journeys into the spirit realms, he was able to unlock the secrets to the symbolism in the Book of Revelation. He gave a large amount of information specifically for the purpose of discovering the book's hidden meaning.

Cayce described the true nature between humanity and God. Cayce revealed that humans actually have three different dimensions of human awareness: the conscious mind (personality, the subconscious mind (soul) and the superconscious mind (spirit). An important goal in everyone's life is to awaken our superconscious mind to attain what Cayce called at-one-ment with God.

What was the final salvation of the bodily, mental, and spiritual forces described within John, now are shown to take place in collective humanity. When humanity recognizes the divinity within them as the controlling force in the world, and turns away from their own selfish pattern of living for self alone, the old pattern disappears and the Christ pattern emerges.

John is told that the merging of the evolved self with the divine superconscious, which has taken place in John, must also take place in all humanity (Rev. 19:7). The fulfilled pattern of evolved humanity, the Christ (i.e., superconscious mind), is now shown in a position of power (the so-called "second coming of Christ").

Now the archetype of humanity's continual rebellions, the self-willed intellect symbolized as the "devil", is confined for a time in the collective unconscious mind. During this period of one thousand years (the 1000 year reign of Christ), only the evolved souls will be permitted to incarnate the Earth (Rev. 20:4). At the end of this period, the remaining souls begin to incarnate, bringing with them their unsatisfied ambitions and desires. This, of course, brings about the former conditions of imbalance (wars and plagues). These conditions, all man-made, are now themselves eliminated and all mental forms and patterns not formed by divine will are purged (Rev. 20:14).

The "new heaven and new Earth" John sees is humanity's perfected state of consciousness and regenerated body. The human mind at this point is now one with the divine in the perfection of control and is free from outside limitations. The human conscious mind merges with the superconscious mind.

The Prostitute of Babylon symbolizes humanity's desire lust for riches and gratification of the flesh. The beast it rides on are man-made ideas stemming from self-gratification. It is explained to John that these forces have taken control of the seven spiritual centers of the human body, thereby becoming possessed and ruled. However, as the highest forces of evolving humanity overcome the forces of self, even the ten basic urges of the body, symbolized by the ten horns, will in time fulfill the divine pattern. As the divine nature in humanity becomes less realized, society is destroyed by its own hand through self-gratification.

Yeeeaa, who didnt see that coming. The self-fulfilled prophecy.

Let me paraphrase that.
'greed and power lusting is bad'

What happened with this though? You can't show boobies on TV , but you can show violence.
Greed is admired, the rich man garners way more respect that a mere ordinary person. Yes, we worship those who serve to self satisfy, we see in them what we want to be. They are our heroes.
Gratification of the flesh means sex only to those who don't see, to those who can see it means greed and looking out for your own desires, putting yourself above all others, the meaning became perverted, the human body must be covered up!

As far as myself, I just need enough to keep life from getting uncomfortable, I don't need riches, I need security.


OK, back on topic, please keep in mind that Cayce's interpretation of his readings is tainted by his beliefs and may or may not be messages from god. Just as if someone believed in alien robots sending messages of prophecy, it would come from them.
I would bet Edgar knew just as much about the existence of god, or not, than the rest of us.
Where did his knowledge come from? Of course Edgar would say god got in touch with him, where else would the info come from, according to him?

So where does prophecy come from? Aliens with time machines or expert foreknowledge of event trends?
The ability of these aliens to guess educatingly about where our behaviour traits will eventually get us.
Our ancient survival instincts which brought us to this point are no longer working, it is not terribly hard to predict that some of us will acquire way more necessities of survival than they need, stuffing their faces and filling bank accounts while lording over the serfs who do their bidding.

Sometimes prophecy is not rocket science, you can make vague predictions just by paying attention to your current environment and putting together pieces of the trending puzzle pieces.

Those are my thoughts on this.
