was destroyed at the time there was the last destruction in Atlantis. Yet, as time draws nigh when changes are to come about, there may be the opening of those three places where the records are one, to those that are the initiates in the knowledge of the One God: The temple by Iltar will then rise again. Also there will be the opening of the temple or hall of records in Egypt, and those records that were put into the heart of the Atlantean land may also be found there—that have been kept, for those that are of that group. The records are one.
[Background: Reading given the Glad Helpers Prayer Group. This reading discusses ancient Egypt around 10,500 B.C. The readings suggest that after the third and final destruction of Atlantis, Egypt became the cradle of knowledge and civilization and that Edgar Cayce himself had lived at that time as a high priest named Ra Ta.]
Reading 281-42; November 1, 1939
This Priest [Ra Ta] was not merely the director of the spiritual counsel of that body of people who entered Egypt, but of that activity in which all phases of man’s endeavor were, in the experience, being acted upon.
What was the knowledge, the motivating force in the experience of that individual? Was he a prophet sent, as ye look upon the teachers through the various eras or ages of man’s endeavor? Or was he an individual with an idea that grew, under the law, into an ideal?
In interpreting this we will find many questions, that may have oft disturbed many, may be answered as respecting those groups, those individuals who may be even in the remotest sense interested at present in the psychic work of the man called Cayce.
The Priest was an individual who had received inspiration from within. And, realizing that such an influence or force might be given to others in their search for why and what were their purposes in material life, he then sought out one who might foster such a study in materiality.
Thus, from those places that were a portion of what is now called the Carpathias, he came with a great horde, or a great number (as to individual souls, numbering nine hundred), into the land now called Egypt.
Why Egypt? This had been determined by that leader or teacher (not physical leader, but spiritual interpreter or guide) as the center of the universal activities of nature, as well as the spiritual forces, and where there might be the least disturbance by the convulsive movements which came about in the earth through the destruction of Lemuria, Atlantis, and—in later periods—the flood.
What were the factors, ye ask, which determined this in his mind? or from what concept did the entity gain that knowledge? Was it just a concept, just a revelation, just a physical analysis, or what?
When the lines about the earth are considered from the mathematical precisions, it will be found that the center is nigh unto where the Great Pyramid, which was begun then, is still located.
Then, there were the mathematical, the astrological and the numerological indications, as well as the individual urge.
Ye say, then, such an entity was a god! No. No—ye only say that because there is the misunderstanding of what were the characters or types of spiritual evolution as related to physical evolution in the earth at that period.
As an illustration (this merely illustrating, now): It is hard for an individual, no matter how learned he may be, to conceive of the activities that exist only three miles above the earth. Why? Because there are no faculties within the individual entity in the present capable of conceiving that which is not represented within his individual self.
Yea—but the individual of that period was not so closely knit in matter. Thus the activities of the realms of relativity of force, relativity of attraction in the universe, were an experience of the souls manifesting in the earth at that period, see?
Thus we find that the experiences of individuals of the period, seeking for the understanding as to the evolution of the souls of men, might be compared to the minds of individuals in the present who are seeking an understanding as to man’s use of physical or atomical structure in his own relationships.
Then, the individual of that experience or period was not necessarily one other than a soul or entity seeking the knowledge as to the relationship of that which would sustain and gain for man the abilities not only to continue the physical evolution but the spiritual or soul evolution as well.
Such an one, then, was Ra—or Ra-Ta.
[Background: Reading given to an eighteen-year-old male who was told that he had been one of the pharaohs in Egypt during the Ra Ta period.]
Reading 341-9; June 2, 1925
GC: You will have before you the Life Reading given on [341] on February 28, 1925 [341-8], on the earthly existence in Egypt as Raaaart, and the associations with same. You will tell us at what period, as counted by man, in the world’s history this was, and what the entity accomplished at this time.
You will then have before you the individuals, as I name them, and you will tell us whether or not these individuals lived in Egypt at this time, and if they were associated with this entity, and in what capacity.
EC: Yes, we have this sojourn in the earth’s plane. This is rather A-r-a-a-r-a-a-r-t [GD’s note: In the suggestion GC pronounced it R, then spelled the rest and in the first paragraph EC spelled the name again, as he did in 341-8], and the time as we find is, as counted by man, eleven thousand and sixteen (11,016) years before the Prince of Peace came into this land.
As to that accomplished, we find this in one of the highest civilizations of this country in its present position, for we find this same country had been submerged for nearly a quarter of a million years since the civilization had been in this portion of country, and the peoples as had overrun the country in the various changes by invasions from the east and north, and this ruler, Araaraart, being then the second of the northern kings, and followed in the rule of the father, Arart, and began the rule, or took the position as the leader in his sixteenth year and ruled over these peoples for ninety-eight years. The country, as we find, was brought to a higher state of understanding with the surrounding nations, and there was much of the religious ceremonies practiced in this time, much of this being brought in from the northern country and of the religions as existed in this same country through the religion of that of the one taken as the companion, for there were many taken, and with the unearthing of the tribal rites and ceremonies, the coalition of these truths we find were correlated with these peoples as were gathered about this ruler, and much of the architectural forces were set in motion. As we see, the first foundations of the emblematical condition as is set in the sphinx was begun in this rule, for this, as we see, has remained the mystery of the ages.
In the accomplishments then, we have as these in Araaraart. This: Much of the sealing of the peoples’ abilities in being drawn together for benefits of the masses rather than classes, for we find, though this ruler worshiped by many, yet remaining much in that same spirit as is found in the better classes of the ones serving Higher Forces than self, which is service to fellowman. The monuments as were unearthed and added to from time to time, we find are some still existent, though many buried beneath shifting sands. Others underneath sands that became the bed of the seas that overflowed this country.
