Summary

Most people today believe that the legendary lost continent of Atlantis is just that, an ancient legend buried by time and not the ocean. The first known mention of the fable comes from two of Plato's dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, where mighty princes ruled the massive and prosperous island. However, Atlantis' glory faded as they were conquered and eventually became undone by their evil and impious ways until earthquakes destroyed this once utopian land, submerging it under the waves. But what if the legend of Atlantis is real, and the account of an advanced civilization thriving in the expanse of the Atlantic ocean is more fantastic, bizarre, and unbelievable than one could imagine? In approximately 2500 "life readings" given by Edgar Cayce for roughly 1600 different people between 1923 and 1945, just such a narrative began to emerge. Of around 700 of the reading's recipients, nearly 50%, had been told that their past-life incarnations in Atlantis had left characteristics that were influencing their present lives. After this revelation, questions focused on an Atlantean history generated details of warring factions with incredible technologies, such as ships that could fly through the air and undersea, particle beam-like weapons, global communication, and genetic engineering, and most controversial, the origins of human life. From a practical standpoint, perhaps just as extraordinary is the fact that none of the references to Atlantis given over two decades conflicted or contradicted one another. Ultimately, the purpose of the story of Atlantis would be to serve as a cautionary tale – that we must all learn from the mistakes and negative proclivities of our past lives so that a new age of peace and enlightenment might save us from our destruction.

0:35.5	Betterment, Health IQ, our contributors at patreon.com and you, our listeners, for making
0:40.4	tonight's show possible. In our last two episodes, we barely scratched the surface of
0:46.4	Edgar Casey's remarkable life. As the sleeping prophet, he conducted readings for thousands
0:52.0	of people, providing guidance on how to cure ailments and improve their lives. We talked about
0:57.6	the predictions in the future he made, prophecies, some of which who seemed to have come to pass,
1:04.4	others haven't, or didn't transpire as he said they would. In all of this, he was very well known
1:11.5	for sharing information about one particular place, for nearly half of the 1600 people that
1:17.0	came to see him for what he called a life reading. It would seem that 700 of those folks had lived
1:23.6	in the lost continent of Atlantis in a past life. Upon hearing Atlantis mentioned repeatedly
1:30.3	during these readings, the group that was working with Casey were then curious enough that they
1:34.8	initiated a series of sessions asking specifically about this topic, that almost half the reading
1:41.0	subjects were reincarnated Atlanteans is of course surprising, but not as surprising as the
1:46.8	details of life in that legendary land and what led to its eventual downfall according to Casey.
