DESCRIPTION:

Author Carol Chapman has shared these prayers for years at her speaking engagements. Audience members have remarked that the prayers have improved their lives. Now she’s sharing the prayers with the rest of the world so that others can reap the benefits the prayers provide.

Chapman learned the prayers from their creator, J. Everett Irion, a kind and psychic counselor working at Edgar Cayce headquarters in Virginia Beach. He studied the psychic guidance in the Cayce readings and provided private spiritual coaching sessions that included guidance in psychic development, personal transformation, and self improvement. One of the prayers, the profound 40-day Forgiveness Prayer, is often referred to as the Edgar Cayce prayer.

Everett was in his mid-70s when the author knew him. Sadly, he has passed away since, but his words of wisdom live on. In this fantastic book you will learn:

• How to forgive yourself
• A prayer for forgiving others
• A prayer that helps with guilt and grief
• A prayer to help relationship problems
• How the 40-Day Prayer inadvertently led to one man’s healing from a terminal illness
  
• How to use the Law of Attraction in ways that honor the will of the soul
• Spiritual guidelines for making good choices
• Why you need to appreciate everything
• A prayer for letting go of anger and resentment
• The interplay of the conscious and subconscious minds in finding happiness
• How body/mind healing and Grace can result when following these spiritual practices
• How the Prayer of Manifestation can bring you the desires of your heart
• How to choose your words to create more powerful prayers

Yucatan Travel links added to this blog site

Today I added a couple of links to this blog site. They will take you to websites dealing with Yucatan Travel:

• a new blog site called, Yucatan Peninsula Travel
• a website for a new travelogue DVD, Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza

I love to travel in Yucatan and have been there six times. My outstanding interest is always the quest for evidence that inhabitants of the lost city of Atlantis visited Yucatan in millennia past. I have written about my experiences in my books When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.

While in Yucatan, I also began videotaping the many places we visited. These became the DVD travelogue Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza.

Those of us who made the Yucatan Travel DVD listed above decided to also start a blog about some of our favorite places in Yucatan. If you’ve been to that tropical paradise, we invite your comments, especially those that would be helpful to other travelers.

Fifth Root Race Story will be presented in Nanaimo, British Columbia

I enjoy speaking about the root races, which I will be doing in Nanaimo, British Columbia at the Nanaimo Metaphysical Network on Thursday, April 19th. The speech is called, “Edgar Cayce’s Story of the Fifth Root Race.”

If you’re wondering what the root races are, they are the step-by-step progression from a soul that can freely move around the whole universe to a soul that is bounded by the physical on earth.

According to possibly the best-documented psychic on earth, Edgar Cayce, our souls were not yet bound by the reincarnation cycle during the time we incarnated in Atlantis. We were a “thought people.”

Lost City of Atlantis discovered and rezoned for commercial development

You really need to read the piece in its entirety. Not only is this a hilarious commentary on the “modern” trend to devalue tradition and human values, but also, it’s a great tongue-in-cheek comment on the mania to find Atlantis in many and diverse places. I must admit, reality stings at the thought of commercial development destroying a “miraculous habitation that has eradicated crime, poverty, and disease.” Bravo The Satirical Rogue!

Here’s an excerpt from the article – the first paragraph – to whet your appetite for the whole piece:

Greece— Archeologists have confirmed the location of Atlantis in the Aegean Sea just off the coast of Santorini Island and plan to turn the entire submerged island into a retirement resort paradise.

Lost City Of Atlantis Discovered, Rezoned for Commercial Development

Existence of the Lost City of Atlantis goes against conventional archeology

These are just a couple of paragraphs of a fantastic answer to the question: Do you believe in the lost city of Atlantis? If you’re interested in this topic, I suggest you follow the link and read the whole article. The online name of the author is “Dubbs.” The question was posed on the Yahoo! Answers UK and Ireland website.

With science accepting this as our basis for the premiss of existence, it will interfere many other branches of science. Archeology isn’t about discovering the truth of our past anymore, it’s about upholding the accepted version of what we call prehistoric fact. The history books have already been written, so when somebody comes across an anomalous find that just won’t fit into the accepted data it’s usually refuted, lost and forgotten. There have been numerous archeological finds that challenge what we know about history and it’s never accepted, it would change things.
So when Plato was told about the existence of Atlantis by the Egyptian priests, of course it was refuted. If a technological advanced civilization existed 9000 years ago as he was told, it would raise too many unanswered questions. Timeas and Critias, the two priests that relayed the tale to Plato, told him of an island continent in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Straight of Gebralter), that once waged war against the rest of the world. While attacking Athens a cataclysmic event caused this continent to become swallowed by the ocean. The survivors fled to Egypt and taught the Egyptians how to build the pyramids.

Do you believe in the lost city of Atlantis?

Inspirational Quote for “Everyone Has a Book in Them” Seminar

I continue to prepare for my speaking engagements in Nanaimo, British Columbia, April 14th to 21st. As I went over what I’m going to share with participants of the Saturday, April 14th all-day event Everyone Has a Book in Them, I especially enjoyed this inspirational quote from Andre Dubus, author of A Father’s Story:

“Don’t quit. It’s very easy to quit during the first 10 years. Nobody cares whether you write or not, and it’s very hard to write when nobody cares one way or the other. You can’t get fired if you don’t write, and most of the time you don’t get rewarded if you do. But don’t quit.”
—Andre Dubus

How do you like that–10 years! Well, actually, in a way that is inspirational. When I have read the biographies of so many writers and creative people, they have pressed on year after year, before they were successful. And, as this quote says, they may also press on year after year, and get no rewards for their effort.

But, there is always the joy of connecting with one’s inner muse!

Past life regression connects with the afterlife in a previous lifetime

In yesterday’s post I referred to a delightful article on the afterlife. I found the article delightful, because it reminded me of one of my past life regression hypnosis sessions in which the hypnotherapist asked me to go to the last day of my life while I was remembering a previous incarnation. As soon as I died (in that past life), my mother, who had passed on years earlier, was there waiting for me. I felt so happy that I could be with her again. The whole story of this reincarnation memory is in my book When We Were Gods.
