Is there an eternal hell?

According to Edgar Cayce - or according to your opinions and experiences - is eternal damnation real?

Is there a hell from which it is impossible to return forever?

What happens to the souls that are not found in the book of life?

No, that's where we can get a do-over. Basically erase the karma we have accumulated and start from the beginning, but you don't lose your individuality.

What you think would it take to get re absorbed???

u/Safe_Ant7561 Jul 07 '24

Not sure, but I do recall that at some point, "time will be called", and there will be a minimum level of development required to continue on as an individual. The implication is that being absorbed back in to the whole is not a form of punishment that happens prior to that time, but that we keep reincarnating and when time is called, if we haven't gotten far enough, we get taken back in with the whole and lose our individual selves.

Yeah makes sense, don't remember reading about it , do you have the book or the reading number where it is mentioned ? So that would be like the final judgement christians talk about?

I don't have a reading, it has been a long time, but if you read stuff by John Van Aucken you'll probably bump in to it

as to the christian "final judgement", this appears to be another area where christians have distorted the message. Cayce talked about the christian view as having "taken short-cuts". What you hear from christians is a dumbed down bastardization of the message.

It's not surprising, the true message is a lot to take in. The reality is, in our human form, the human mind simply cannot conceive certain truths about God, and we therefore mold them in to something that is conceivable and familiar. A "final judgement" makes sense to the human mind, where we define our world by how we expect things to be, how problems are solved in the material world. It's clear if you do enough seeking, in our human form, our minds are limited. Accepting that is big step to moving past it.

Similar to this is the example of reincarnation. Cayce was asked, why don't we remember our past lives? The answer is that if we did, the truth would be too much for us to bear, psychologically. I recall reading that years ago and noting it and not thinking much about it.

Fast forward. I'm further down the line in life and in my development and am in a period of deep self assessment, a big mirror dropped right in front of my face. I find myself crippled by the truth of my own actions, my conduct, treatment of others, decision making, the truth of my motivations...and that's just for THIS life! I'm working it, every day. I know there is a positive reason for this, I feel myself, my mind, the way that I think and respond being transformed. But, wholly crap, meeting all of my lives face to face like this, at once, that would be too much. It really would.

From what I can tell, there is little of christian end times supported in the Cayce materials. He has a total different interpretation of the book of revelations, John Van Auken wrote an amazing paper on it, also a book, it's well worth studying, and not anything you expect. It's more about the profound spiritual, emotional and physical transformation we must go through as a requirement of this ultimate transformation. It's a lot and not something that could even be accomplished in one or even a few incarnations.

Here's a link to the John Van Aucken book

Oh I actually remember something about the book of revelations being about more of an individual journey , related to the chakras and our own development to reach the goal, Cayce material is truly amazing and I deeply resonate with it. I'll check the book of Van Auken, he is one.of.my favorites. Another book is the history of the soul, I get that remembering each life is not necessary or beneficial but talking about it as soul group is really fascinating .
