One of the most fascinating topics found in the readings of famed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) revealed the existence of a sacred sect called the Essenes. His information about the Essenes would later be confirmed by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls two years after his death. Cayce's readings contained more than a description of who the Essenes were and their purpose in bringing the Christ into the earth, he gave us details about their lives and past lives! Many of these Essenes reincarnated during Cayce's time and received readings that revealed their soulsincluding their purposes then and now. What can we learn from these readings and the reincarnation of the Essenes? There is so much about our origin, our soul group, and the purpose for which we are here on earth today in this latest book that it is like having a manual for soul growth. Ideals, practices, and guiding principles held by these ancient ones are as valuable to us today as they were then.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Van Auken presents a compelling synthesis of Cayce’s trance readings and Essene history, though it requires an open mind to accept metaphysical claims as historical fact. It will likely frustrate strict academic historians or skeptics who demand empirical evidence over spiritual revelation. However, for those already invested in the A.R.E. tradition, it offers a coherent narrative linking past lives to present-day purpose. The text is accessible but demands familiarity with reincarnation concepts. It is not suitable for readers seeking rigorous archaeological analysis or secular historical accounts of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
