Edgar Cayce
For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar Cayce, America’s “Sleeping Prophet,” demonstrated the uncanny ability to put himself into a self-induced altered state by lying down on a couch. closing his eyes and folding his hands over his stomach. He was able to place his mind in contact with time and space. From this state, he could respond to questions on topics as diverse as health, ancient civilizations and personal spirituality. His response to these questions came to be called “readings” and contain insights so valuable that even to this day archeologists, theologians and physicians alike - no to mention hundreds of thousands of individuals – marvel at their startling insights and accurate revelations.
Edgar Cayce predicted the Earth’s poles would begin to shift in the years 2000 and 2001.He said that this pole shift would signify the beginning of a new age, higher level of consciousness, and celestial awareness to the extent that the people of the Earth would become aware of “the people of the universe.” The magnetic poles of the Earth have changed often in Earth’s history. And there are many indications that the planet is preparing for another shift.
The evidence is in every clay pot that was ever fired. During high temperature baking, iron minerals in clay records record the exact state of Earth’s magnetic field at that precise moment. By examining pots from prehistoric to modern times, geologist John Shaw of the University of Liverpool in England has discovered how the magnetic field has weakened. “When we plot the results from the ceramics,” he says, “ we see a rapid fall as we come closer to present day. The rate of change is higher over the last 300 years than it has been for any time in the past 5.000 years. It’s going from a strong field down to a weak field, and it’s doing it very quickly.”
No one is sure what will happen. The field could weaken such that the poles suddenly flip polarity – that is – compasses begin to point to the south magnetic pole. Ancient lava flows from the Hawaiian Islands reveal both the strength of the field when the lava cooled and its north-south orientation. “When we go back about 700,000 years,” geologist Mike fuller of the University of Hawaii,” we find an incredible phenomenon. Suddenly the rocks are magnetized backwards. Instead of them being magnetized to the north like today’s field, they are magnetized to the south.”
Reversals are unpredictable. They come at irregular intervals averaging about 300,000 years. The last one was 780,000 years ago, making us long overdue. Scientist Gary Glatzmaier of the university of California Santa Cruz has observed such reversal as they occur in computer simulation. These virtual events show striking similarities to the current behavior of earth’s magnetic field and suggest we are about to experience another reversal.
Reversals take a few hundred to a few thousand years to complete. “During that time it just gets more complicated,” said Glatzmaier. “Magnetic lines of force near Earth’s surface become twisted and tangled, and magnetic poles pop up in unaccustomed places. A south magnetic pole might emerge over Africa, for instance, or a north pole over Tahiti.
What are the influences of magnetic field changes upon us? After all, we are electromagnetic beings. Changes in the magnetic field will affect us in some manner. Of course, since the last magnetic field shifted over 780,000 years ago, none of us really knows what happened to humans. Dr. Valerie Hunt developed a special constructed room in which she can change the magnetic field. In her book “Infinite Mind”, she reports that when “the magnetism was decreased, gross in coordination occurred. The entire neurological integrating mechanism was thrown off. Subjects could not balance their bodies and they had difficulties touching finger to nose or performing simple coordinated movements. They lost kinesthetic awareness.”
Of course, Dr. Hunt was creating the change quickly. The real magnetic shift will be happening over long periods of time, allowing humans to adapt their bodies to a new environment. Humans and many animals are sensitive to magnetic fields because their brains contain iron oxide crystals (Magnetite) that align with magnetic north, like a compass needle. This is how some animals can migrate long distances during all type of weather and not get lost.
But the greatest danger of a magnetic pole shift is the breakdown of the magnetic shield that protects us from solar radiation. Long ago Mars lost its magnetic shield and subsequently its atmosphere. However, neither Cayce’s readings nor Nostradamus visions see the end of humanity on Earth for some time yet. And there is evidence that the shield is not likely to disappear but simply to have weak spots, even holes that may allow more than normal radiation to penetrate to the surface in a few places.
Scientists have presented detailed information about this on the PBS NOVA program Magnetic Storm originally aired November 18. 2003, but often re-aired. A DVD of this program is available at http:/shop.wgbh.org.
The best part of the Cayce prophecy is the beginning of the New Age. Of course, when we view the evening news, it appears that the world is far from an age of enlightenment and the brother/sisterhood of all humankind. Yet some believe that the magnetic shift may have an unexpected positive effect on human brains, freeing them from Earth’s powerful fields. Certainly Cayce’s view implies such a positive outcome.
Earth Changes
Today, many groups continue to predict major cataclysms and the approach of inevitable change. Ironically, oftentimes these groups have failed to realize that change is all about us. There are wars and rumor of wars broadcast around the globe in the blink of an eye. We hear of floods and famine and hate crimes as they occur. A day does not pass by when we don’t see renewed evidence of gang wars or drugs or our inhumanity to one another. Unfortunately, much of this information has become so commonplace that we simply shrug our shoulders, change the channel, and turn the page. In many places, the world has become more fractured than ever before, as politics, race, sexuality, culture and religion divide us. Countless thousands of individuals have been killed, are dying, or have simply given up. And yet – despite of all these things, some individuals continue to wait for the Big One as evidence of changing times.
It is time to wake up and realize that the changing times are happening RIGHT NOW. Our world, our civilization, and our individual lives are all undergoing dramatic personal and collective change. Yet, this is sometimes hard for us to recognize because the changes have not been one single event. They have rather been a process. Cayce’s predictions for the future are not really about earth changes, or polar shifts, instead they are about the fact that a new world is being born. The changing events in our lives and in our surroundings are to enable us to remember why we are here.
Coming Together as a Global Family
It is true that the geological condition of the planet make some earth changes inevitable. There will be continued earthquakes. But potentially even more influential changes come from worldwide political turmoil, economical challenges, wars, and more upheavals that are not necessarily geological in nature. The purpose of the changes we are experiencing is not for the changes themselves, but rather it is so that we will undergo personal and global transformation. Only this way may we ushering the dawn of the New Aquarian Age.
From Cayce’s perspective, the future offers not destruction and hopelessness, but the change to transform the world as we work together, building hope and community for all of humankind. Today, wherever we find ourselves, there is a great need to come together as one global family. That is our collective destiny. That is the potential we share as spiritual beings manifesting here on earth at this time.
