I recently received an email from Lindy van Burik, co-moderator of the Edgar Cayce Forum with the following link to a very interesting online heath information by Dr. Mercola. The info is cutting edge, news-breaking and controversial, for example, that fungus is the underlying cause of cancer. Take a look at it.

I feel so happy to have received this wonderful endorsement of my soon-to-be-available book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt: Hidden Mysteries of Soul and Myth Finally Revealed. It’s from Day Schwartz, an amazing woman who started the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach with her now-deceased husband Joe. She continues as co-moderator of the The Forum with her lovely daughter Lindy van Burik.
The Edgar Cayce Forum features speakers on metaphysical, new age, and body/mind/spirit topics based on Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings . It meets once a month in Virginia Beach. I’ve spoken for them twice.
Here’s her testimonial:
“Unknown for thousands of years, amazing mystical evidence of Atlantis discovered in the pharaohs’ tombs plus mysteries of Mary’s appearances make this page-turner of a book so exciting readers can’t put it down.”
Isn’t that great! Thanks, Day. Love it.

I always love visiting Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment. Their headquarters is in Virginia Beach. I had the good fortune to see a number of wonderful people there plus return the books I had borrowed from their lending library. I believe their library is the largest metaphysical library in North America. Whether it is or not, they always have so many titles I’m interested in, I find it difficult to restrict myself to their four-book limit.

In a July 29, 2008 blog post, Juan Valdez says he’s presently in Guatemala. He contemplates going north into the Mexican state of Chiapas.
I am thinking of going north into Chiapas in Mexico but am not sure I will learn much more about the Maya Long Count and the 2012 cataclysm being forecast by some, because less than 25% of the inhabitants of the province are of Maya decent and most of them don’t even speak Spanish.
The reason I find this excerpt interesting is that, based on my reading, I thought that the inhabitants of Chiapas were especially dedicated to preserving their culture. In addition, I’d read that many of the Mayan people, continued to dress in colorful traditional outfits decorated with local designs, are especially reluctant to be treated as fodder for tourists’ cameras.
I guess I assumed this meant that the state of Chiapas was a Mayan stronghold. But, what do I know? I’m just reading and this fellow is there. What does he mean by saying that most of them don’t even speak Spanish? That they speak only Mayan and therefore he can’t converse with them so why go to Chiapas, anyway? Or, that they speak English and therefore aren’t in touch with their Mayan roots so they wouldn’t know anything about the Maya Long Count Calendar or 2012?
Something else I found interesting–further in his blog he says that because he’s in the mountains in Guatemala, it’s cool. Amazing! I’m sitting in Virginia where it’s very hot but we’re so much farther north than Guatemala.

Well, as it turned out, I went with another title for my latest book. It’s now called Arrival of the Gods in Egypt: Hidden Mysteries of Soul and Myth Finally Revealed.
Here’s a copy of the fantastic front cover of Arrival of the Gods in Egypt:
Arrival of the Gods in Egypt by Carol Chapman |
As I said yesterday, Edgar Cayce, America’s “sleeping prophet” said in trance that records left by Atlanteans could be found in Yucatan, Mexico.
It turns out that Yucatan is riddled with extensive underground cave systems. I wonder if the ancient Atlanteans placed their records in one of these caves. Some of the caves extend for miles underground and also include underground rivers.

In referring to my previous post of July 30, 2008, I quoted an excerpt from a article posted on Yahoo News proclaiming that archeologists are reopening a secret cave under a Mexican pyramid. My comments included the following:
How exciting! I wonder if the archeologists will discover a tomb as they did in Palenque, which was also in a hollowed out area under the Pyramid of Inscriptions.
I also wondered if this cave could contain the Records from Atlantis, which Edgar Cayce, the “sleeping prophet” said would be found somewhere in Yucatan, Mexico.
For years, I’ve been fascinated with Cayce’s psychic readings on Atlantis that said that there were three places on earth where inhabitants of Atlantis had left records of their civilization.
Because the cave undergoing recent excavations is in Teotihuacan, which is close to Mexico City and therefore NOT in the Mexican state of Yucatan, I doubt that records from Atlantis will be found here.
Nonetheless, it does remind me that the whole of the Yucatan Peninsula, which includes the Yucatan State, is riddled with underground caves where the Atlantean records may be hidden.

If you’re in one of those stuck or bewildered emotional places where you need some inspiration and encouragement, this is a great article. It’s from Alex Mandossian. I thought he was mainly known as a speaker, but his web site says he provides marketing know-how for information publishers, owners of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Biographer Dr. Gene Landrum reports, “Creative geniuses (like Walt Disney) never give up and therefore seldom succumb to the vagaries of change and innovation.”
Story: When Disney drew the first Mortimer Mouse (later Mickey Mouse) many of his associates, including his brother, Roy, laughed at his creation.
His colleagues and critics did the same for The Three Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Both animated productions were labeled “Disney’s Folly.”
Walt’s Disneyland idea (now acknowledged as ”The Happiest Place On Earth”) was ridiculed as a “carny” idea from a man with a “Barnum and Bailey” mentality.
But Disney never allowed expert opinion or adversity to halt him from creating what he recognized as unique and innovative children’s entertainment.
It was his tenacity as an Entrepreneurial CEO that enabled him to protect his ideas and confidence to consequently build the world’s most famous animation empire and amusement park!
Alex Mandossian’s Blog » TENACITY SPOTLIGHT: Walter Elias Disney#comment-17067
I especially like knowing that Disney launched his ideas, for example, Mortimer Mouse, before he was sure the idea was right. The name “Mortimer,” as the excerpt above states, must not have brought the results Disney wanted because he later changed the name to that of the very famous and beloved Mickey Mouse.
Right now, I’m in the process of reworking the title of my latest book, You Are Blessed, because the present title is not working. Me and Walt, together. It feels good to know I’m not the only one. I am encouraged.
I hope the article encourages you too.
Wishing you happiness and success,
Carol Chapman

Here’s an excerpt from a July 13, 2008 article by Miguel Angel Gutierrez:
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Archeologists are opening a cave sealed for more than 30 years deep beneath a Mexican pyramid to look for clues about the mysterious collapse of one of ancient civilization’s largest cities.
Researchers open secret cave under Mexican pyramid – Yahoo! News
The article goes on to say:
How exciting! I wonder if the archeologists will discover a tomb as they did in Palenque, which was also in a hollowed out area under the Pyramid of Inscriptions.
I also like the title the ancient Aztecs gave the location: “The Place Where Men Became Gods.”
It reminds me of the title of my book, When We Were Gods, which describes hypnosis-induced memories of ancient Mexico and a journey to the Yucatan where I found images in ancient ruins of my memories. Here’s the amazon listing if you’re interested in reading more about When We Were Gods.

For the last week, I’ve been downloading and backing up all the photography I took while in Montreal and Burlington, Vermont.
I also hadn’t backed up the photography I took while in British Columbia, Canada.
Today, finally, all my media cards are empty. I’m tired but happy that it’s finally all done.
I’ve been taking pictures for next year’s Edgar Cayce Calendar, Divine in Nature: with Inspirational Quotes from Edgar Cayce.
