From:
[I don't know who authored this. Some of these predictions are familiar, but not all]
Although this isn't the complete list of prophecies, it's my choice and picks of the most interesting of his prophecies.
▪ "There will be upheavals in the Artic and Antarctic that will cause the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas, and pole shift."
▪The greater portion of Europe will be changed in the twinkling of an eye.
▪ Southeast Canada will be safe from earth changes.
▪ Mt. Etna and nearby Vesuvius, and Mt Pelee signal the major changes.
▪ As to the changes physical again: The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.
▪ The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east coast of America.
▪ There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the Torrid areas, and there will be shifting then of the poles so that where there has been those of a frigid or the semitropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow. And these will begin in those periods in '58 to '98, when these will be proclaimed as the periods when His light will be seen again in the clouds. As to times, as to seasons, as to places, ALONE is it given to those who have named the name and who bear the mark of those of His calling and His election in their bodies. To them it shall be given.
▪ As to those things that deal with the mantle of the earth, these shall call upon the mountains to cover many. As ye have seen those in lowly places raised to those of power in the political, in the machinery of nations' activities, so shall ye see those in high places reduced and calling on the waters of darkness to cover them. And those that in the inmost recesses of theirselves awaken to the spiritual truths that are to be given, and those places that have acted in the capacity of teachers among men, the rottenness of those that have ministered in places will be brought to light, and turmoils and strifes shall enter. And, as there is the wavering of those that would enter as emissaries, as teachers, from the throne of life, the throne of light, the throne of immortality, and wage war in the air with those of darkness, then know ye the Armageddon is at hand.
▪ "And those that seek in the latter portion of the year of our Lord as ye have counted in and among men 1936, He will appear!" [Corrected to 1998]
▪ The sun will be darkened and there shall be proclaimed through the spiritual interception in the hearts and minds and souls that his star has appeared and will point the way for those who enter into the Holy of Holies in themselves. He will appear!" [Corrected to 1998]
▪ The regenerated shall come and declare that John Peniel is giving to the world the new order of things.
▪ [Cayce gave October 31 as the anniversary of Noah's Flood, or poleshift.
▪ "That same name as to which the priest was banished the constellation of Libra, or to Libya were these people sent.
▪ Is it not fitting, then, that these must return? as this priest may develop himself to be in that position, to be in the capacity of a LIBERATOR of the world in its relationships to individuals in those periods to come; for he must enter again at that period, or in 1998."
▪ There will be the breaking of agreements
▪ The earth changes are affected by sunspot cycle, they will be at max!
▪ The hottest weather occurs during the greatest sunspot activity.
▪ In 2100 AD water covered part of Alabama, and New York was gone. Most of the houses were of glass.
▪ Jupiter and Uranus influences in the affairs of the world appear the strongest on or about October 15 to the 20th. Destructive conditions may cause an earthquake in southern California
▪ "for the time and times and half times are at an end" [Propose a time is 1,000 years. If this count began with Daniel, the 2500 year span is coming to an end.]
▪ The young king's son will soon reign
▪ "In 1998 we may find a great deal of the activities as have been wrought by the gradual changes that are coming about. These are at the periods when the cycle of the solar activity, or the years as related to the sun's passage through the various spheres of activity become paramount or Catamount [?] [Tantamount?] to the change between the Piscean and the Aquarian age. Then the area where the entity is now located [Virginia Beach] will be among the safety lands, as will be portions of what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and much of the southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of Canada; while the western land much of that is to be disturbed in this land as, of course, much in other lands."
▪ "The geographical changes, as we find, will not be of any appreciable change in the affairs of men, save as induced by those activities of men respecting their application of those laws pertaining to same, in this Particular generation."
▪ In America the people are to hold more power in their hands. That there would come three that would make of the perfect way of life. They achieved balance in their spiritual, their mental, their material experiences. They may proclaim the Atlantean records. If men in America don't show brotherly love civilization must wend its way westward, and again must Mongolia, must a hated people, be raised.
▪ "His messenger shall appear there." Hints, is finding those that make the paths straight.
▪ There are healing powers in the waters off Bimini, Changes near the site of the soon to be found Atlantis.
▪ Roosevelt was "called".
▪ "Scientific change has been found by the observation into the terrestrial forces and into those places and conditions about the earth's planes, there is missing some one of the earth's companions or planets, and the combustion or destruction of same caused much changes"
▪ Quartz crystals amplify, lend, and synchronize many types of energy, such as light and electricity.
▪ Wear Lapis Linguis on the wrist or on the waist.
▪ Oil exists all across America along a line from Monterey, Mexico to Concord, New Hampshire in the Hickory Sands formation, 2400-3000 ft. in Texas.
▪ Atlantis lies west and south of Bimini.
▪ The Earth is catching up with Time. When the lines about the earth are considered from the mathematical precisions, it will be found that the center is nigh unto the Great Pyramid. This is a gradual, not a cataclysmic activity in the experience of the earth in this period. 16023"
▪ "Is Virginia Beach to be safe?" It is the center and the only seaport and center of the White Brotherhood.
▪ "This occurs in the entrance of the Messiah in this period 1998." Watch for them near Davis Strait in the attempts there for the keeping of the lifeline to a land open.
Watch Libya and Ankara, and Syria and the Persian Gulf. Much of ancient Mexico under sea
South California and South New Mexico were settled by Lemurians.
▪ A recession in the 1980s was predicted, caused by greed.
▪ Someday a "City of Gold" will be discovered in the Gobi Desert, a temple with elevators; electric cars
▪ On Russia's religious development hinges the hope of the world.
▪ Other planets and stars affect the elemental powers of the earth: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
▪ An ancient temple to the sun and moon is near Santa Barbara. For the satellite of the moon had not faded then. Mu settlers in Oregon, gave the totem the family tree. The fear of death hinders.
▪ Evidence of Atlantis can be found in the Pyrenees and Morocco, and in British Honduras, Yucatan, and America.
▪ Atlantis during its highest point was in the southern portion of South America and the Artic, and Siberia, and also in Hudson Bay.
▪ In Atlantis, Adam was called Amilius.
▪ The stars of the Pleiades and Arcturus were mentioned.
▪ Earth is slowly receding or gathering closer to the sun, from which it receives its impetus for the awakening of the elements from that which it receives from the sun. elements that give life itself, by radiation of like elements.
▪ Let it be remembered, or not confused, that the earth was peopled by animals before peopled by man!
▪ Stars and planets have various forces of attraction or detraction.
▪ Atlantis had gas balloons.
▪ Their "tempered brass", the temperament of that as becomes between aluminum and that of uranium. Iron fluxes combine and carbonized with those of other fluxes
▪ One of Cayce's clients went to Bimini and found an old fresh water well, walled around the top, with stones of peculiar composition and strange symbols. This well and area are for "regeneration" of certain ailments.
▪ There is much gold under the sea.
▪ Devil's Triangle: there are those conditions as related to the varied powers that are in power or in affluence as respecting activities of any nature there.
▪ Iltar the Atlantean leader of the Maya built the first temple, it will rise above the sea again.
▪ A Temple in the Yucatan is "overshadowing" the location of the Atlantean records. These records contain the history and sciences of the Atlanteans.
▪ The slaves of the Atlanteans were called "things".

▪ The rising of the Temple will make the records accessible.
▪ The secret record chamber lies, as the sun rises from the waters, the line of the shadow or light falls between the paws of the Sphinx that was later set as a sentinel or guard. And which may not be entered from the connecting chambers from the Sphinx's right paw until the time has been fulfilled when the changes must be active in this sphere of man's experience.
▪ The Sphinx, and the treasure or storehouse facing same, between this and the Nile, in which those records were kept.
▪ It is thought that people are still going there for initiation as well as to interpret the religious changes man will undergo.
▪ The Nile was called Nole when it dumped into the Atlantic, "on the Congo end."
My reply:
Dear --
I gave up on Cayce over his talk about Atlantis, years ago. The reason I did is that Isaac Asimov, the science-fiction writer and scientist, pointed out that while he had no idea whether Atlantis ever existed or not, he knew a way to find out if anyone wanted to put in the effort and expense and time to do so. As he said, corals, like trees, show annual growth rings in cross-section. And, like trees, the rings record conditions during the year each one was formed. Thin rings mean lean times, not enough food, or just enough but no more; wide rings mean times of plenty; and distorted rings are the result of significant disturbances in the environment of the corals. Really big distortions in the rings mean catastrophic environmental disturbances. So he suggested that those who want to know if Atlantis was real sample corals all over the Atlantic ocean -- Atlantis was supposed to have been in the Atlantic -- and see if, going back far enough, their rings are grossly distorted everywhere in the Atlantic Basin. If you could see that in all ancient corals all around the Atlantic Basin, it would mean that back then, an enormous event occurred that resonated through the Atlantic Ocean -- like, say, the collapse of Atlantis.
Well, nobody ever took him up on it. Scientists didn't because each scientist has his or her own area of expertise, and has to devote his/her working hours to that. Laypersons didn't -- though why is anyone's guess. But you'd have expected anyone who was serious about their belief in Atlantis to want to prove, once and for all, that it did exist, and did succumb to a giant catastrophe back when to sample corals around the Atlantic Basin and look for signs of that catastrophe in the form of distorted rings. Wouldn't you? Well, apparently, none of them did. Either they didn't know how, or didn't have the wherewithal in terms of equipment and financing (something I doubt, because many of those groups have plenty of money), or they didn't want their pet theory overturned by finding out the awful truth that Atlantis didn't exist.
Which soured me on Cayce. More: quite a few of his prophecies never came true, and others couldn't come true, such as the idea that the West Coast will fall into the Pacific Ocean -- you can't fall off the floor, and the tectonic "raft" that much of our West Coast rides on (the Pacific Plate) is, like all other tectonic rafts, including the continental ones, riding on a global sea of magma that is much denser than that "raft" is. The rock that holds up the continents and islands is much lighter than the molten rock on which it rides, and it can no more "fall off" the mantle than a piece of balsa wood floating in water can "fall off" the water into the water -- it's already there.
Then there's the pole-shift business, which, to be kind, probably came from a simple misunderstanding of what geologists and geographers mean by the way that Earth's north and south magnetic poles wander around. For example, Earth's north magnetic pole is now moving toward Russia at 40 miles a year, and who knows what direction it will take in the future? But the magnetic poles are not Earth's poles of rotation, which never change. Why? Because of the Moon, and her tidal effects on the Earth. If the Moon didn't exist, the Earth's axis of rotation would have nothing to keep it from flopping about all the time, something that would have had a profound effect on Earth's life, the evolution of which would have taken extremely strange directions as life worked its ass off to keep up with the tremendous, radical shifts in environmental conditions that caused (there's a video on Youtube I think I can find again showing that). What the Moon does is generate tides on Earth -- not merely ocean tides (though those aren't insignificant; water is very dense, and that enormous megatonnage of water that constitutes our oceans has a lot of drag!), but also tides in the very rock of which our planet is made. And rock -- the solid rock of the crust, the molten rock of the mantle and outer core, and the solid core as well -- has tremendous momentum once it's set spinning. When the drag on it added by the Moon is taken into consideration, it's clear that between the rotating Earth and the Moon, the stuff of which our world is made has so great a resistance to a change in acceleration (in this case, to change in the direction of its rotation) that it simply cannot change the orientation of its axis of rotation.
The Moon has been with us for around 4 billion years, and in that time, any changes in the orientation of the Earth's poles of rotation must have been so insignificant that they might as well not have occurred at all. So Cayce's "pole-shift" prophecies can't come true unless the Moon suddenly ceases to exist -- in which case, the sudden end to tidal braking would caused the Earth's crust to peel away like the rind of an orange, and that would be the end of life on Earth, right then and there.
Maybe Cayce got a few things right, but others he didn't -- and others, like the "falling off into the Pacific" of our West Coast, and the matter of "pole-shifts," can't happen.
But Cayce's in good company with that. Even Nostradamus, the great grand-daddy of all such prognosticators, screwed up big-time occasionally, such as his prophecy that the world would come to an end in 1999. Hey, you win some, you lose some . . . ;-)
