My friend, Hans Peter Barth has shared part of his extensive library with me on our visit December 27, 2014.

We had a spiritual discussion which led to Edgar Cayce and my comment that I had heard much about Edgar and his prophetic abilities but that I had yet to read anything on that subject. Has rose to the occasion and produced “Edgar Cayce On Prophecy” by Mary Helen Carter and under the editorship of Hugh Lynn Cayce, first printing June 1968.

Since this was my first association with the Edgar Cayce and his prophecies, I was impressed in the manner with which Helen presented these prophecies and so it will likely take another reading, at least, to absorb an understanding.

To those Readers who may be part of the Doukhobor philosophy, I found this interesting response that Edgar Cayce provided to an inquiry as follows (pages 164 and 165);

“……Is there any indication of what church I should join and associate with?”
“Remember, rather, the church is within self,” he answered. “As to the organization, choose that, not as a convenience for thee but where ye may serve the better……..whatever its name, let it be thy life proclaiming Jesus the Christ.

“For the Master built no churches, but He laid the Foundations.” He told another person that the church was within, as he had learned in a former incarnation: “Before that, the entity was in the English land during those periods when questioning arose between church and state. And there the entity for itself settled the question for good: the church is within yourself and not in any pope or preacher, or in any building, but in self. For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God and the Christ becomes a personal companion in mind and in body…..”

Individual preferences and temperaments should be considered, Cayce said, in choosing one’s church. :The let each test themselves with that chosen. That it will make for life in thine own experience will aid another. Not that each has the same vision, or the same experience, but the Lord addeth to the church daily such as should be saved, when all of one mind!”

Cayce interpreted Jesus’ prophecy: “Upon this I will build my church.” What church?” The Holy Church! Who is the head? The One upon whom the conditions had been set by the question asked. For here ye may find the answer again to many of those questions sought concerning the Spirit, the Church, the Holy Force that manifests by the attuning of the individual; though it may be for a moment.

“He asked, “Whom say men that I am?” The Peter answered, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God!” Then, ‘Upon this I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it!”…………..”

Much of the above is with the understanding that Doukhobors have taken as their ‘Way of Life”.
I leave this to my Readers to comment.
