This is my fourth try. I'll give up after this.
Edgar Cayce and David Wilcock, and friends.



This is Cayce on the left, and Wilcock on the right.

Now for some of Cayce's friends, and David's friends.



One Morton Blumenthal, friend of Cayce, and one Chris, friend of Wilcock.

Morton Blumenthal was heavily involved in Cayce's work, using his readings to win in the stock market.

Blumenthal had a bitter falling-out with Cayce after he had funded the Cayce Hospital, but did not listen to the readings' suggestion to sell all his stock thereafter.

The Great Crash of 1929 quickly wiped out Blumenthal's asset base and destroyed the Cayce Hospital very quickly. Blumenthal also sold Cayce's own home out from under him thereafter, betraying his trust and leaving him destitute.

Chris, pictured here, was David's longest-lasting friend in college, and one of a very small number of people David has stayed in contact with from university. Chris implicitly trusted David's editing help to "sex up" his term papers, requesting it for each and every assignment, and always paying him for his work. Morton was Cayce's single best customer, having paid for hundreds and hundreds of readings.




Edwin Blumenthal, friend of Cayce, and Jude, friend of Wilcock.

Edwin Blumenthal also had many Cayce readings and was a close friend of Cayce's prior to the big falling-out.

The Cayce Readings said that Edwin had been Jesus' brother Jude in a past life, which makes this connection all the more curious.

They also said that Edwin could be a conscious channeler and do even better readings than Cayce.

David's friend Jude, pictured here, was his longest-standing friend in high school, and the only friend from that time who David is still in contact with.

Jude now has a professional photography career specializing in portraits -- just like Cayce did.


I find it kind of extraordinary.

2. Yes, I mean the facial similarities.
They're pretty striking to me.

Am I off base? I could be, of course.

But I have to say when I first saw these photographs, I was kind of astonished. I do think those are striking resemblances. I think they're stronger than those you might see between a parent and a child.

4. The eyes are the most striking feature
I noticed. All have lidded eyes. Would love to hear your ideas on what this means. It is obvious you have spent some time investigating.

3. Don't get upset because maybe we aren't into your present
mind set. Don't let that stop you from posting interesting things.

5. Did you not notice that I posted several things from that website?
I also have been reading one of the ebooks I found surfing some links from there.
Fascinating stuff!

6. I read the Wilcox book. Was very interesting.
And have been following the others who claim to be
Cayce reincarnated.

There are quite a few these days who believe that they
are Edgar Cayce returned.

7. I do think this is fascinating, as I had not been aware of the
strong link in physical appearance for cases of apparent/claimed reincarnation. It could really help make believers out of the skeptical. I'm not a skeptic of reincarnation as a concept at all, in fact I'm a strong believer. But where I've had trouble is in believing in individual cases where there is no factual evidence. I love this website because it really made me believe in these individual cases.

Also, as for lots of people claiming to be Cayce...Wilcock really wins me over on the physical resemblance as well as the other evidence. However, after reading the Journey of Souls, I believe that one soul can choose to have concurrent lives, so I guess it's possible that there are more than one incarnations of Edgar Cayce out there now. Certainly we can use all we can get of the higher level souls!

Anyway, thanks to emcguffie and lildreamer for all of the great posts on this...I spent hours at the website and enjoyed it immensely. It helps to think there may be a way to really feel more sure about these reincarnation cases. I wanted to post earlier and couldn't really get my thoughts together and gave up after a tortured effort or two. But I'm always fascinated by this kind of info, so keep posting!
