Cayce and Wilcock
A reader brings this up: A friend of mine sent me a link to these YouTube videos of a seminar given by a man named David Wilcock at The Conscious Life Expo in San Francisco in Spring of 2008. I find it to fit in nicely with the ‘puzzle’ (at least the one I have been driven towards) so to speak and he answered some questions I had been pondering within myself concerning OBE’s. I wanted to know what the Keysters thought. He claims to be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce.
JJ: I came across this guy (David Wilcock) a number of years ago and wasn’t impressed at the time. It seemed his only desire was to prove he was Edgar Cayce reincarnated.
I figured he was just one more person wanting to be someone famous without earning the fame.
I was pleasantly surprised at watching the video to see Wilcox giving a very intelligent presentation in addition to claiming to be Cayce. Even though the presentation raises more questions than it answers it is well worth watching.
I do not know if Wilcock is Cayce or not but at least he is probably as intelligent as him.
I decided to take a look at the charts of David Wilcock and Edgar Cayce to see if there is anything that stands out.
Probably the most significant thing, as the online astrologer pointed out, is their moons are very close in Taurus, about a degree apart. Also both have Saturn, Mercury Venus and the Sun in the most emotional and sympathetic sign of Pisces. Both also have Mars in Capricorn.
There are two ways to interpret this seeming coincidence. One could say that it indicates that David could have been Cayce because of the coincidental sameness. But there is another more logical view and that is this.
On any given day there are about a half million people born so there are many thousands of others who have a similar chart. Anyone with such a chart who studies Cayce will feel an affinity for him and if such a person studies him deeply he will feel a strong identification with him. This particularly applies to someone with a moon only one degree different in location.
When a person contemplates his own past lives he is likely to guess he may be someone who dealt with similar astrological forces as he is. That is not strong evidence that Wilcox was Cayce in a past life. Instead, it is evidence tat Wilcock is drawn to Cayce because of emotional similarities.
A chart can give subtle evidence of a past life but astrology is a very weak tool in identifying or proving one. A chart is merely a description of forces that surrounds us and saying two people are the same because of two charts is like saying Jim and Bob are the same because they both live in Denver and deal with the same traffic problems each day.
It is also notable that a person’s chart will often be very different from life to life as the entity faces new challenges.
That’s not to say that Wilcock is not Cayce. He could be and it should be easy to prove. He claims that several of his friends were associated with Cayce. All he has to do is regress everyone who he thinks was associated with Cayce in a past life (including himself) and see if they can retrieve information that is not in any book but can be validated.
Another thing to do is compare handwriting samples. Whereas thousands of charts are very similar no two handwritings are the same. Unfortunately, handwriting is usually not solid proof because it changes over the years as does character – but similarities will remain.
Reader Comment: I was impressed how similarly his associates looked to Cayce’s associates. That is one of the signs you have taught in the past.
JJ: Yes, I’d say that was his best evidence so far.
Actually, Cayce didn’t come up with much on his own, but in the trance state – so unless Wilcock goes into the trance state he doesn’t have to go too far to duplicate Cayce’s intellect.
Handling Difficulties
A reader makes this comment: I feel like I have been living The Immortal for the past month or so. As I have been trying to work on my log home it seems one adversity after another has come my way, it reminded me of Joe going from one seemingly impossible task to the next. I wondered how I was going to get the roof on, I had no help and it was slow going till my neighbor came up helped me out of the blue loaned me equipment etc.
I even tried to hire some help but no one was interested then a fellow log home builder called and I hired him (even though I couldn’t afford it). So with the 3 of us we got the structural roof on and papered so it can weather the winter but it still needs a sleeper roof with insulation and the metal etc. I was feeling pretty good about that then my truck broke and a few days later my car broke. Then within a day I was driving my wife to the airport and her car broke, all within one week. And the next night my son called and his car had over heated… Needless to say I was beside myself wondering what the heck was going on…
So I have spent the last week working on cars and we had to buy one so we at least had two running cars as My wife’s car is shot the engine threw a rod meaning it needs to be replaced or rebuilt (not cheap). Now I am broke but we have two cars at least. I haven’t even had a chance to work on the truck but It is just the alternator so I can fix that.
JJ: After having gone through a number of life experiences where my bad luck seemed to defy the laws of probability, I feel for you. If it is any comfort, I might add that in my experience, sooner or later, things normalize and then even some good fortune presents itself.
It does seem though that the good fortune is usually earned by the sweat of your brow whereas bad fortune can sometimes comes like an unannounced tsunami.
Question: Can regressive hypnosis cause or trigger certain events in future? – Is it any good for everyone, indiscriminately to have access to past lives information? Can it cause damage? Is it always better not to know something one is not supposed to know?
JJ: Each of us has been through many past lives. Some have been pleasant and some not so pleasant. I have found that people are much more likely and willing to visit and explore the more pleasant lives than the painful ones.
Also with a difficult life a person is more willing to recall the good times than the bad times. This is not a black and white rule though for I have had subjects return to very painful times.
It is interesting that returning and reliving painful experiences in past lives can alleviate current physical problems. This is one of the correct things taught by Scientology.
I think I told you the story about a lady who had terrible neck pain in this life. I regressed her and she relived an experience where she was beheaded. After going through this her neck pain disappeared and never came back.
Returning to past lives can therefore at times be helpful rather than a hindrance – but not always. Sometimes past memories can be a distraction in the present and this is one reason we forget so we can forge a new path without the past holding us back.
In this life a terrible mistake can paralyze us so we do nothing but feel sorry for ourselves. But when such a person dies and is reborn with a blank slate he no longer has that memory to hold him back.
Overall, I haven’t seen much that can be considered bad results from taking people back. Even when people discover something uncomfortable it usually doesn’t settle with them as strongly as a memory in this life. For instance, if you harm someone in this life you may feel guilt over it, but harm done in a past life is seen more from the viewpoint of the observer and permanent guilt is not likely to resurface.
There is some risk in anything we do so if you decide to be regressed first check your internal barometer and see if taking such an action feels right.
Answers are easy. Finding the right questions is the tricky part. – Anonymous
