Читать книгу The Oil That Heals - William A. McGarey M.D. - Страница 5

This book is simply, but with a great deal of love, dedicated to two individuals who have together shaped world thought in a way that benefits every individual living in it.

Edgar Cayce was born in 1877 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and lived a life that was sometimes painfully eventful. He had developed a gift in former lifetimes, however, which gave him the capacity to lie down and enter a state of altered consciousness that could then be tapped. He was able to touch in on the akashic records and the information in what we call universal consciousness.

He could contact the unconscious mind of individuals far distant from where he was giving a reading and could describe not only past lives, but also the state of the inquirer’s physiological functioning and what needed to be done to return that individual to full health.

His legacy for the world was a library full of nearly 15,000 psychic readings of such depth that they have not been equalled in this century, if, indeed, in any century. Hundreds of books have been written about this man and his readings, and thousands upon thousands of men and women and particularly children have awakened to new life through the use of the information he left. I have not seen such a legacy rivaled in the thirty-seven years I have spent working with psychic data and this material as it related to the practice of medicine.

Edgar Cayce called his work the work of the Christ, and anyone who studies these readings to any depth would most likely agree. I certainly find it to be so.

I could not stop there. For, without the lifetime that Hugh Lynn Cayce (Edgar’s eldest son) spent working with the readings, bringing the Work of the Christ to the attention of the world through his leadership, his traveling, speaking, writing, and enthusiasm, the A.R.E. would probably not now be in existence and the work of Edgar Cayce would lie in a dusty corner somewhere.

Too, this book and hundreds of others would not have been written. Nor would my life have been spent moving in the direction that Edgar and Hugh Lynn pointed out to all of us.

Hugh Lynn Cayce, like his father, has shaped thousands of lives with his love and his insights into the nature of humanity and what this world is all about. I would be deficient in my dedication if I did not place these two men together as world leaders in developing the understanding of why this world exists and what we are doing on it. Such an understanding is needed in the world today.

Edgar passed through God’s Other Door in 1945 and Hugh Lynn in 1982. But I know that the future will point to these two men as examples of how the world can be changed by dedicating one’s life to God’s work. Thus, it is with a great deal of love and appreciation that I dedicate this book to Edgar and Hugh Lynn Cayce, who (if they could be heard) would want me to include the hundreds and hundreds of those who followed and made that work that much more important. And, Hugh Lynn, I hear you talking!
