According to Edgar Cayce, the period when we (as souls) were still androgynous “Sons of God” was during the very early phases of the Atlantean civilization, long before recorded history.
When exactly?
Cayce placed this in a timeframe of hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the initial development of Atlantis.
Here’s the clearest picture from his readings (especially the 364 series):
Early Atlantis period — Souls first began projecting into the earth plane as “thought-form” beings. In this stage, male and female were still contained as one within the same form (androgynous). These were the “Sons of God” who could change shape and project at will.
This phase is closely associated with Amilius — the spiritual leader whom Cayce identified as an early incarnation of the Christ soul (the same entity who later became Jesus).
The androgynous state existed before the full separation into distinct male and female bodies and before the widespread mixing with the “sons and daughters of men” (the more physical, animal-like humans).
Key timeline markers from Cayce
| Period | Approximate Time (Cayce) | What was happening |
|---|---|---|
| Early soul projections | 200,000+ years ago | Souls entering as ethereal / thought-form beings |
| Androgynous “Sons of God” phase | Early Atlantis (before ~50,000 BC) | Male + female still as one; time of Amilius; creation of the “helpmeet” begins |
| First major destruction of Atlantis | ~50,700 BC | End of the early high period; increasing physical densification and mixing |
| Later Atlantis | 28,000 BC → 10,000 BC | Further separations, cataclysms, final sinking |
The androgynous state was not a short moment, it was part of a long, gradual process as souls densified into physical matter. In reading 364-7, when asked how long the division into male and female took, Cayce answered that it depended on the “branch or line,” and for one line it was an evolutionary process spanning decades in that specific context, but overall it unfolded over a very long period.
How this connects to what we discussed earlier
- Genesis 1 (“male and female created he them”) → Corresponds to this early androgynous Sons of God phase in Atlantis.
- Genesis 2 (Adam formed from dust + Eve from his rib) → Corresponds to the later stage when the “helpmeet” was brought forth from within, and souls were taking on more fixed physical forms.
Simple summary
According to Cayce, we were still androgynous “Sons of God” during the early Atlantean era, hundreds of thousands of years ago — specifically in the time of Amilius, before the first major destruction of Atlantis (~50,000 BC) and before souls became fully locked into separate male and female physical bodies.
This was the period “in the beginning” that the reading you first asked about was describing.
