The Book of the Revelation: A Commentary Based on a Study of Twenty-Three Psychic Discourses by Edgar Cayce Paperback – January 1, 1995

This book presents the material found in the book of Revelations not as a timeline for profetic end-times filled with horror, devastation, punishment, and salvation of the elect, but rather it treats the symbology and actions of Revelations as a road map of the changes taking place in the individual's physical, emotional, mental and spititual bodies during a person's process of spiritual "enlightenment". For example, the opening of the "seals" has to do with the opening of each of the 7 Chakras and the accompanying experiences as each chakra comes into fullness; the 12 Elders are the 12 cranial nerves, etc. The book systematically takes the chapters of Revelations and explains the process taking place in this unique manner.The process described by Cayce is amazingly parallel to the process described in the Hindu spiritual literature. When reading Cayce's material it is important to remember that Cayce's knowledge-base (mind/English language) did not possess the vocabulary to describe these altered estates of consciousness, and had to rely on the symbols familiar to Cayce. Sanskrit, unlike the English language, posseses voluminous terminology that describe the most minute differences in the various altered states of consciousness. This copious vocabulary reservoir allows individuals to communicate ideas and experiences that would be very difficult to describe to those who have not had similar experiences.I have studied this book in a group setting, and can honestly say it is a book for "the few". To those who can "understand" its message it is priceless.

I am a die hard Cayce follower. I usually prefer to read books entirely of his readings rather than predigested by an author. His readings are difficult in the beginning but you get used to it. This book with all the symbolism is by far the hardest book I've read. I only got 1/2 way through. I won't take off a star because this book is VERY IMPORTANT to understand The Revelation. Be prepared !

It's a book.

People seem to think that the evolution of mankind lies in the physical vehicle. Mankind is a spiritual being and his/her evolution is a spiritual one. This book will show to the reader a very interesting approach to Revelations.

Okay, but not great.

Edgar's suggestion that Revelation's imagery is relative to our endocrine system is a very interesting way to look at the concept of personal/spiritual Evolution; I really enjoyed it. One must suspend disbelief to enjoy the book and fully grasp its concept.

This book helps to make the book of Revelation in the Bible easier to understand.

This is a far different viewpoint on the Book of Revelation. Comparing Cayce's "readings" and the Bible excerpts enables one to study both and draw one's own conclusions.

This book is concerned with the Biblical Book of Revelation which describes one man's experience (John) of the opening of 7 Chakras. These are the 7 energy centres of the body, which, in turn, are connected to the 7 main Endocrine (physical, homone producing) Glands of the body.It is the result of 7 years of study with Edgar Cayce by a group called "The Glad Helpers", and contains 4 sections :-1.23 Edgar Cayce Readings (his 281 series).2.The Book of Revelation text on left pages with interpretation on right.3.The Book of Revelation text on left pages with the group's symbology on right.4.A glossary of symbols and tables of correspondence.This book was difficult to find because it is currently out of print - so a used copy was necessary.I found it quite a stunning "revelation", not only from the content, but also from the way the material is treated - which is necessary to translate the biblical symbolism.(NB.There are other books around with "Edgar Cayce" in the title which bear little relationship to his readings. This is clearly not in that category).
