From Jesus or from "God" "himself"?<br><br>I do not pretend to know --- but the idea of prophecy and visions of a mystical sort --- and the sometimes uncanny accuracy of such predictions in revelations --- makes me wonder whether such prophecy is possible and whether, therefore, we need to look more carefully at the other predictions ascribed to Jesus and the great prophets (of all traditions, not just the Judeo-Christian ones)<br><br>In any event, I have been interested in Cayce since childhood when my father turned me on to him (my father was an anthroposophist, kind of a Christian-Tibetan Buddhist amalgam) --- and so this fellow at the link seemed interesting and I thought it might be interesting for folks to check it out as it does, in fact, overlap with many of the subjects Jeff discusses on his blog and, while perhaps not too well known, might provide some insights.<br><br>I recently read the "Final Frontier" book (or tried to read it actually --- a little too much mumbo jumbo for me --- but found the different "dimensions" of beings idea (that, for example, angels and archangels resonate at a higher level than we do but can "materialize, in this , the lowest, level - or that "masters, and even "councils of masters" exist at these other levels.<br><br>I am naturally very skeptical of such things and do believe that the potential for great evil is inherent in them - great error and wrong too, even when well-intentioned. But I thought we might shae such thoughts and explore.<br><br>That's all. <p></p><i></i>
