Reincarnation... Did you know that in many writings in the Bible, the author and readers assume reincarnation?
Edgar Cayce, a figure renowned for his psychic readings, often discussed the concept of reincarnation, including the past lives of Jesus. According to Cayce, Jesus had several incarnations before he was born as Jesus of Nazareth. Cayce identified several figures from the Bible and other historical texts as previous incarnations of Jesus, including Adam, Enoch, Melchizedek, Joseph (son of Jacob), Joshua, Asaph (a figure associated with King David), Jeshua (the scribe who helped rebuild the temple after the Babylonian exile), and Zend (a leader of a group of people in Persia).
Cayce's perspective was that the soul of Jesus progressed through these lives, gaining experiences that prepared him for his ultimate mission as Jesus. These ideas are part of a broader set of Cayce's teachings that blend Christian mysticism with elements of Eastern spirituality, particularly the belief in reincarnation and karma.
