Feb. 3, 2024 – As part of my research, I found out about Edgar Cayce, his readings and philosophy in 2002 after my late wife Elena came back from a trip in New Jersey to visit some of her high school classmates and friend. I am aware that in certain religious groups, Edgar Cayce’s readings when he was on a self-induced hypnosis, are still frowned upon. While he was a Sunday school teacher, a Christian, during his trances, he was said to be a Catholic. I simply want to share what I found just a few days ago in Jan. 2024.
According to the Edgar Cayce philosophy, each person living on the earth is here for a specific soul purpose; a purpose that no one else can fulfill. While for some people, their purpose might be directly related to a profession or vocation, for others it could simply be a particular way of living day by day. Finding and then understanding and living your soul’s purpose is actually a life-long process. As your knowledge grows and deepens, you will find greater and greater opportunities for fulfilling your life’s mission.
To discover clues to your own life’s purpose, ask yourself these questions:
– What makes my heart sing? *
– When in my life do I feel a sense of wonder?@
– In what ways do I feel called to be of service to others?
– When do I feel closest to God?^
The Cayce readings suggest that we are closest to living our soul’s purpose when we feel joyful, when we are in awe of the wonder of life around us, when we are being of service to others, and when we are deeply aware of our connection God.
In your contemplative or meditation time, ask your higher self, “What is my soul’s purpose? Why am I here in the earth at this time?” Then become aware of the answers that will come to you through that “still, small voice” from within, or through synchronous events, or even through your dreams. Your soul is communicating with you all the time, and its greatest desire is for you to fulfill your purpose for this life experience.

* – This expression simply means you give me joy. This can mean the joy of romantic love and maybe more often is used that way, so be a bit careful using this at work, but it’s perfectly fine between generations or with children since there is nothing sexual implied – just joy. – Feb 11, 2020
@- Definition of SENSE OF WONDER n. a feeling of awakening or awe triggered by an expansion of one’s awareness of what is possible or by confrontation with the vastness of space and time, as brought on by reading science fiction. Jon Radoff has characterised a sense of wonder as an emotional reaction to the reader suddenly confronting, understanding, or seeing a concept anew in the context of new information.[4] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_wonder#:~:text=SENSE%20OF%20WONDER%20n.,on%20by%20reading%20science%20fiction.]

When do I feel closest to God?^
^This has got to be it. September 13, 2014 “It was an extraordinary experience. The closest to heaven I have ever been. Quite similar to what this veteran Brian Hoyland went through, a near death experience. Brian claims to have gone to heaven, spoke with Jesus Christ and came back to earth.
In my case it was just the earlier stages of the trip. It’s the closest to heaven, probably God, that I have ever been and I really wish everyone would experience what I did.
