   was interested in she could make arrangements for me to check it out. I   
   thanked but explained that I had already found what I was in search of. She   
   then stood up and motioned for me to follow her. She led me into the reading   
   room and had me take a seat at one of the tables. She proceeded to the   
   shelves and removed two large tomes. She laid one of the tomes to the side   
   and placed the other in front of me. She opened the tome and instructed me   
   to read the reading in its entirety and return to her office where we would   
   chat some more. The reading was numbered 1472-3 depicting the Palestinian   
   sojourn of the the Essene Judy. As I read the reading I couldn't help but feel   
   that I was reading my own story, and then when the reading discribed the   
   circumstances of the Essene Judy's birth, a loud bell went off in my head, and   
   I knew I was she and she was now me. I returned to Mae's office, whereupon   
   I discovered the warm smile had now turned to a smirk and she said: "Edgar   
   Cayce despised the Essene Judy's masculinity." I dismissed the statement as   
   an untruth. The warm smile returned and she then told me about a picture   
   that was kept in the archives of the Essene Judy and Edgar Cayce. "Would   
   you like to see the picture?" I responded: " I need time to fully digest what I   
   have just read." She smiled and told me to come back when I was ready to   
   see the picture. I returned to my room at dusk, laid my treasure upon my   
   bed, and went for a long stroll on the beachfront. As I walked I wondered if I   
   was indeed the Essene Judy and the spiritual leader of that Holy Community,   
   and a member of the A.R.E. during Edgar's lifetime, and had readings given   
   by Edgar, was it possible that the remaining 98 members of that community   
   had readings done by Edgar as well? As I laid in bed that night I determined   
   that I had to find out. Saturday morning I returned to the A.R.E. to discover   
   that Mae did not work on the weekends. I then turned to the librarian Claudia   
   and asked her if she could aid me in my search. She told me of a gentleman   
   who was adept in the knowledge of the Essenes and he could locate the   
   readings I was in search of if they did exist, but he wouldn't be in until   
   Monday. I stayed at the library all day and read in their entirety the two   
   tomes dedicated to member 1472. That night I returned to my room knowing   
   that if my research were to be conducted it would take a great deal of time   
   and I needed to check out of my room in the morning as my funds were   
   quickly evaporating. When I awakened in the morning this silent thought   
   entered the crown of my head: "Call Shirley." It was then that I realized I   
   had a cousin Shirley whom I'd not seen in at least thirty years, but the last I   
   heard she lived in Virginia Beach! I retrieved from my suitcase my mom's   
   address book and found Shirley's number. I placed the call and shared with   
   my cousin my dilemna and as soon as I mentioned the A.R.E. a bell must   
   have gone off in her head because she invited me to come and stay with her   
   as she had a two bedroom apartment six blocks from the beach. Needless to   
   say, I checked out and Shirley picked me up at 10:00 a. m. that Sunday   
   morning. After putting my suitcases in my bedroom I told Shirley I was going   
   for a walk to get acquainted with the neighborhood and to catch the noon bus   
   out to the A.R.E. and I would look for a job the next day. I walked up to   
   Virginia Beach Blvd. and across the street I spotted a buffet style restaurant   
   which was closed, but I knew I saw movement within. So I crossed the street   
   and went to the back door of the restaurant and sure enough the door was   
   unlocked. I entered and one hour later I exited with a job starting the very   
   next day! The bus arrived at the A.R.E. just as the doors were opening. I   
   spent the day in the library browsing through the Essene books I had to leave   
   behind. That night I returned to Shirley's with the news that I found a job! I   
   was to attend a training session at 11:00 a. m. the next day. So at 9:00 a.m.   
   Monday morning guess where I was. Claudia introduced me to the gentleman   
   who could help me with my research. I explained to him what I was in search   
   of and he said he could indeed help me. It was a tall order I was asking for   
   but if I would return later that afternoon he would have the list ready for me.   
   I then hopped back on the bus and arrived just in time for my training class   
   which took about four hours. I returned to the Library and after waiting about   
   an hour, Mae approached me and escorted me to the gentleman's office   
   where he handed me a list that consisted of 98 readings! Thus my research   
   began. I didn't have to be to work until 3:00 p.m. each day, so I was able to   
   begin each day with the readings and since my job only required five days of   
   my time, I was able to spend the whole day at the A.R.E. on my two days off.   
   The research took seven months to complete and through my research I had   
   determined that it was possible that seven or more of those who had   
   readings during Edgar's lifetime could still be in the earth in the present. If   
   we were to gather together as a community once again, the seven or more   
   still present would have to pass on and reincarnate almost immediately.   
   Which would make the seven or more children in the present, but then again   
   they were children in the Palestinian sojourn. With my research complete, I   
   decided to do my waiting in Nashville, and thus returned to Nashville on Nov.   
   25, 1998 exactly one year to the day of my mom's passing. I knew my mom   
   would be proud and that self-discovery journey has indeed lasted a lifetime! I   
   have God and Edgar Cayce to thank for putting me on the right spiritual path.   
   My story doesn't end here, but since I'm using a computer in the media room   
   of my apartment complex and their coming to lock it up I will have to   
   continue this at another time. Until then, Peace be with Thee.  I'm back to   
   continue my story, but after discovering that my story has offended one   
   reader, I've decided it is best to keep my story to myself. As far as the first   
   posting goes, I thought I had deleted it and nobody would ever see it. The   
   posting on Dec. 31 was my story from the beginning which would have   
   included what was related in the posting on the 30th. Being a perfectionist at   
   heart, I thought it best to tell my story from the beginning. I really intended   
   no harm in the telling of my story and I honestly thought when I pressed the   
   delete button, that it did so. I will find another avenue to relate my story. I   
   wish to thank you J.R. for your kind remark and wish you the best for the   
   new year. Perhaps you could share your own story with me, I'd love to read   
   it. Peace be with Thee .

   That's a very intriguing story, I was captivated.  We all have our own story   
   involving Cayce and all view the material differently.  Please continue the   
   narrative when possible.  Happy New Year!   
      
   Best wishes,

   Hey J.R.,   
      
   Happy New Year to you, and to everyone!   
      
   This new poster Judi/Jude/Judy first visited this Forum on 09/28/15, and   
   then did not add a post until 12/30/15, and then shortly later removed that   
   post, and then shortly later added a much revised version on 12/31/15.   
      
   In that first post she said her name is Judi, but that the Lord and others   
   call her Jude, and she has reasons to think that she had been incarnate as   
   Judy the Essene.
