Herb Puryear claims that decades with the Edgar Cayce readings turned him toward the soul. He recalls service near Virginia Beach, nightly study afterward, and a stay in the old Cayce house among people who had received readings. Dreams drew him early, through a student paper, Freud, and a course on the dream records. Cayce, he says, saw several times when civilization reached a height like ours, so today’s world is one chapter, not the whole of Atlantis and Lemuria. He claims souls remain children of divinity across many universes, while some beings chose another way from the outset. The seven churches, he says, are seven centers, and the pineal is what he calls the Christ center. A missed lesson returns in a later life. Intention, he claims, can pass from hands into food, a point he links to Tiller, and listed remedies fail if they are never used. The most important act, he says, is to know your spiritual ideal, meaning your spiritual intention. He offers this as an account of the readings and of his own life.
