Do not believe in reincarnation at all. Hogwash!

BTW, I found this mind blowing.

 

When Cayce was still alive, I'd have to look up the date, but decades ago, he advised diabetics to eat a lot of Jerusalem artichokes.

 

Years later, it was found that Jerusalem artichokes have a natural supply of insulin.

I believe in an after life-everlasting life and attempt to live my life in a way that allows me comfort in my personal beliefs--

 

But, it is not in the form of reincarnation-I really hope I only have to pass this way once-though I do believe it may well exist, that something exists and all things are possible-which may never be fully understood as earthly beings.

 

For those of you who are fascinated with reincarnation, you might be interested in the studies of the very young children who have no way of knowing what they know.

 

Specifically; the boy who lived before and the island of Barra.

It is one of the finest sources of dietary fibers, especially high in oligo-fructose inulin, which is a soluble non-starch polysaccharide. Inulin should not be confused for insulin, which is a hormone. The root provides 1.6 mg or 4% of fiber. Inulin is a zero calorie saccharine and inert carbohydrate which does not undergo metabolism inside the human body, and thereby; make this tuber an ideal sweetener for diabetics and dietetics.

In reading through the thread, it's making me smile that pretty much every single book or case mentioned, I have read, or read about. I had a very inquiring mind as a teen and 20-something (well, I still do, and hope I always will). I read just about everything that was written about Edgar Cayce back in the day, though I haven't kept up to current. I don't invariably swallow everything I read hook, line and sinker, but it's food for thought, which IMO is never a bad thing.

Edgar Cayce funded a medical hospital in his time.  He was all about healing, as I'm sure you know, and supported medical treatment, not something wacky, at least to my knowledge.  I think it's still going but I haven't checked it out in a long time.  You may know all this already.


 

@Noel7, I was more thinking about more recently published books about Cayce that might be out there, but I haven't looked for.

 

The Association for Research and Enlightenment, an organization run by his son, still exists - physically and online, to inform people about Cayce and his ideas and works. They mention that the hospital building still stands in Virginia Beach, but it now serves as the headquarters of ARE. I'm going to bookmark the website & cruise around later.

@Noel7 Yeah, I think you and I are on the same page.

 

At some point I think I need to go back to the beginning and re-read the whole thread...too many new posts while I was composing my own. And the accidental deleting, than reinstating posts. Anyway, interesting thread.

More food for thought.  Betty Edie had a near-death experience and wrote a book about it entitled, Embraced By The Light.  She touched on the topic of reincarnation.  She said we only come to earth once but that we have the cells/DNA from all our former ancestors.  These cells have our ancestors lives/memories imprinted on them and that’s what some people are picking up when remembering a past life.

I do believe that I will continue to live after death but not because of reincarnation.

I understand the Dali Lama says  he might not reincarnate after death. It has to do with China's role in  Tibet

 

He has been such a positive world leader, that would be a shame for his people.

 

I don't know what is true. I only believe I will live once.  I can't speak for others

I'm there, also, @cherry

 

One basis of reincarnation is that we are here to learn a lesson, to make ourselves better for the next return.  Something to to work toward anyway.


As in George Harrison's "Give Me Love"  lyrics.... the last line below meaning, keep me free from reincarnation -- that I have learned all my lessons so that I do not have to bear the cyclic burden of rebirth.

 

Give me love

Give me love

Give me peace on Earth

Give me light, give me life

Keep me free from birth.

There is so much in this world that is currently unexplained; but personally, I don't believe at all in reincarnation, and am glad not to.
