Full Report:

By far the most impressive psychic source on the lost Hall of Giza was voiced through Kentucky-born Virginian Edgar Cayce. At the age of 21, Cayce found he could place himself into a hypnotic trance, and though his formal education never went beyond the sixth grade, people could pose questions to him while he was asleep, and he would answer them with an astounding degree of accuracy. Between 1901 and 1945, the “sleeping prophet,” as Cayce was called, gave 14,246 hypnotic readings. Today, more than half a century after this death, scientists are looking into many of his readings, and are finding many answers to modern-day problems. Jess Stearn, who did extensive research into Cayce’s readings in terms of prophecy, medical cures, etc., calculated Cayce’s accuracy quotient at 97 percent.

Many of Cayce’s glimpses into the unknown concerned past reincarnations of many of those who sought readings from him. And, in many of these, the sleeping seer revealed aspects of history not recognized by modern conservative scholars. According to Cayce, Egypt was but one of several ancient cultures influenced by the legendary Atlanteans—a people of a high civilization whose land was destroyed by cataclysms. The Atlanteans, he said, were the originators behind so many of Egypt’s mysteries—the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and most important, a hidden source of knowledge buried beneath the Egyptian sands.

According to the sleeping prophet, the Great Pyramid is far older than conservative historians date it. He placed the beginnings of the Pyramid’s erection at 10,490 B.C.E., and noted that it took one hundred years to complete, until 10,390 B.C.E. The building was accomplished during the reign of a ruler named Araaraart, under the authority of the priest Ra Ta and his wife Isris—later remembered as the gods Ra-Osiris and Isis. But the chief “construction architect,” as Cayce called him, was Hermes.

The Great Pyramid, Cayce further “saw,” had been built by means of an advanced technology we have yet to understand. The prophet spoke of the Pyramid blocks having been moved by forces in nature that can make iron “float or swim.” He associated these forces with the use of mysterious gases, and a source “from which all power comes.”

Not only was the Pyramid built by sophisticated means, but it had incorporated within its structure knowledge of an advanced kind. The dimensions contained information of the mathematical relationships between the Earth and the Cosmos, as well as the Pyramid position in respect to the surface of the Earth.

The sleeping prophet stated, “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. There were (also) the mathematical, the astrological and the numerological indications.” Cayce noted further that the Great Pyramid’s design was “formed according to that which had been worked out by Ra Ta in the mount (the Pyramid) as related to the position of the various stars, that acted in the place about which this particular solar system circles in its activity, going toward the constellation of Libra”—which is where the Super Galactic Center is found.

Other Giza monuments, both above and below ground, incorporated “geometrical lines in every manner,” “the geometrical forces, the square of the one equal in the square of the other, as related to numbers and the positions of numbers as related to the stars in the universe, and the relation of one to another.” Cayce spoke of “those interpretations of the planetary forces in the earth, the activities upon which were based much of that in the building and in the research that went on among those peoples in that experience.” All Giza construction “was in keeping with the astrological aspects, the numerological aspects, and those things that would be the more lasting in their relationships to the climatic conditions, the atmospheric pressures and the various influences had upon those temples and those monoliths.”

The Pyramid’s internal structure of passages and rooms were meant to delineate the history of humankind, past and future. Cayce called the Pyramid the “final statement,” the “interpreter” of the panorama of history, the “house initiate” or “Hall of Initiates,” pinpointing coming alterations in the world’s spiritual development.

The prophet indicated, “The Pyramid (was) man’s attempt to leave a sign to those who, in the spiritual comprehension of material associations in spirit, would interpret that which had been, that which is, and that which was to be.” It is “an interpreter of that given to the world as a lasting memorial of the relationships between man and man, man and the Creative Forces, and that it brings through being at an at-oneness with Creative Energy.”

In 1932, the sleeping seer spoke these words: “Then, with Hermes and Ra Ta, there began the building of that now called Giza, with which those prophecies that had been in the Temple of Records and the Temple Beautiful were builded, in the building of this (the Great Pyramid) that was to be the Hall of the Initiates of that sometimes referred to as the White Brotherhood.”

That the Great Pyramid was utilized as a Hall of Initiation over a period of thousands of years was indicated by Cayce’s alluding to the monument having been visited by the two last members of the White Brotherhood in the first century A.D—Yeshua of Nazareth and John the Baptist: “In this same Pyramid did the Great Initiate, the Master, take those last of the Brotherhood degrees with John the forerunner of Him, at that place. For John first went to Egypt, where Jesus joined him and both became the initiates in the Pyramid or Temple there.”

When asked in 1932, “In which pyramid are the records of the Christ?” Cayce answered: “That yet to be uncovered.”

“Are there any written records which have not been found of the teachings?” The seer responded: “More, rather, of those of the close associates (disciples), and those records that are yet to be found of the preparation of the man, of the Christ, in those of the tomb (Christ’s burial place?), or those yet to be uncovered in the pyramid.”

Cayce stipulated that past and future history was revealed in the Great Pyramid when the Initiates in the Ancient Mysteries progressed through the passages, and discovered the layers, color of stonework, and the changes in direction they traveled.

So accurate is this architectural prophecy, Cayce observed, that “there are periods when even the hour, day, year, place, country, nation, town and individual are pointed out.” Unfortunately, the prophet lamented, portions of this prediction-in-stone were desecrated or removed when the Pyramid was opened in later periods, by those who did not understand the knowledge preserved within from the distant past.

Before prehistoric Egypt and Atlantis were overwhelmed by catastrophic floods and earthquakes, the sleeping prophet described two important events taking place in association with the Great Pyramid. The first of these involved the sealing of the monument and its records. Cayce spoke of the Pyramid’s “crown or apex” being made of “metal that was to be indestructible, being of copper, brass and gold with other alloys.” It was also portrayed as “composed of a combination or fluxes of brass, copper, gold.” The “crowning or placing of this symbol”—the apex capstone atop the Pyramid—was then “sounded when all the initiates were gathered about the altar of the Pyramid.” A Record Keeper named Hept-Supht was instrumental in the “clanging of the apex by the gavel that was used in the sounding of the placing.” He “clanged the sheet of metal at the completion of Giza, that sealed the records in the tomb yet to be uncovered.” By another Keeper, Atla the Atlantean, was “aid given in the completion of the pyramid of initiation as well as in the records that are to be uncovered.” The sound produced, Cayce said, “kept (preserved) the earth’s record of the earth’s building” from the cataclysmic earth changes that were to come. As this ceremony occurred, “the priest (Ra Ta), with those gathered in and about the passage that led from the varied ascents through the Pyramid, then offered there incense to the gods.”

As a final act, when the Earth was being shaken to its foundations, and Atlantis was in the midst of its last destruction, these “brought the disturbing forces in Ra Ta, and there came then that period when all the pyramid or memorial was complete, that he, Ra Ta, ascended into the mount (the Pyramid) and was borne away” in spirit. The mastermind of the Egyptian Initiation process Transcended into the Realms Beyond, leaving his legacy of the Hall of Records intact for the world of the future.

Cayce also stated that at the same time the Great Pyramid was being built, other activities were underway to preserve books of knowledge. The hiding place for these books Cayce variously described as the Hall of Records yet to be uncovered, a storehouse of records, a time-capsule, a small tomb or pyramid, the pyramid of unknown origins as yet, the holy mount yet to be uncovered. The seer stressed that it contained written documents that explain in full the message contained in the architecture of the Pyramid. The Great Pyramid was thus a record in stone, while the Hall preserves a record in hieroglyphs.

Looking over the many readings Cayce gave as to where the Hall of Records is located, the picture emerges that the Hall described is only one of several subterranean chambers to be found in the Giza area, which are in turn linked with many of the monuments seen today above ground.

In a reading given in 1937, he described records buried in chambers between “the Sphinx” and the “buried pyramid of chambers.” This implies that a passage exists between the Sphinx and the pyramidal Hall of Records, which contains valuable artifacts of its own. In 1939, he verified the observation by depicting “the place of records that leadeth from the Sphinx to the Hall of Records in the Egyptian land.”

As to which direction from the Sphinx the Hall lies, the seer specified in several trances that it is between that monument and the Nile river—toward the east—”as the sun rises from the waters, the line of the shadow (or light) falls between the paws of the Sphinx.”

Pyramidologist Peter Lemesurier commented on these directions:

“The fact that the sun is described as rising from the waters indicates that the ancient time of the High Nile is being referred to—and this annual flooding occurred only form late June onwards.

“Assuming that sunrise is defined as the moment when the sun’s lower limb sits tangent on the horizon, the bearing of sunrise would formerly have reached East 23.5 degrees North on May 20th, subsequently increasing to East 27 and three-quarters degree North on midsummer’s day, before declining again to its former value on July 24th. The two bearings in question would thus seem to mark the likely northern and southern limits of the site of Cayce’s hall of records. Adjustments of a day or so may be necessary in respect to the date of 10,000 B.C.”

According to Cayce, there is an entrance to the underground complex “from the connecting chambers in the Sphinx’s right forepaw.” The Sphinx, Cayce depicted, was established as a guardian sentinel, a marker for the Hall of Records for seekers to recognize in later generations. He also added: “This may not be entered without an understanding, for those that were left as guards may not be passed until after a period of their regeneration in the mount, or the fifth root race begins.”

Cayce, in several readings, hinted that many of the Giza monuments were simply a “replacing” of what had already once existed on the plateau, built by a far earlier civilization. Much work was done by both the prehistoric Egyptians and Atlanteans in “explorations into the archaeological experiences,” in first determining what structures had once first occupied the sacred location. One of Cayce’s inquirers was told that, “the entity found more interest in the unusual things discovered by the excavations or researchers, than in what was going on at the time.“ The seer noted that, in the earliest period, “they began to build upon those mounds which were discovered through research,” which were then later incorporated into the complex of the “record chamber, or record tomb.”

The Sphinx in particular has pre-existing chambers of its own. There is a room to the north-northeast “facing Giza (the village)” containing a history of the Sphinx, its foundation, esoteric geometry and symbolism; other information is preserved in a room below the left forearm; and more “vaults” were placed directly beneath the Sphinx’s base, which are connected with the Great Pyramid.

These latter vaults and passage to the Pyramid appear to be interlinked with still another complex of underground chambers, what Cayce called a “city of shrines,” a “great pyramid and city,“ buried “just beyond the Pyramid,” to the east and north of it. In another reading, the seer pointed to these ruins as “yet to be uncovered, the city then called Aicerao.”

More specifically, to an inquirer who in 1925 asked what connection they had to the creation of the Sphinx, the sleeping prophet said: “As the monuments were being rebuilt in the plains of that now called the pyramid of Giza, this entity builded, laid the foundations; that is, superintended same, figured out the geometrical position of same in relation to those buildings as were put up of that connecting the Sphinx. And the data concerning same may be found in the vaults in the base of the Sphinx. We see this Sphinx was builded as this: The excavations were made for same in the plains above where the temple of Isis had stood. The base of the Sphinx was laid out in channels, and in the corner facing Giza may be found the wording of how this was founded.”

A year later, to another questioner, Cayce reiterated: “Many findings as given, may be found in the base of the left forearm, or leg, of the prostrate beast, in the base or foundation. Not in the underground channel (as was opened by the ruler many years, centuries later), but in the real base, or that as would be termed in the present parlance as the cornerstone.”

The finding of these specific chambers will come when “forces are set in motion, and will bring much good to the peoples of the earth’s plane for many, many, more centuries to come, for, with this arising (finding) again of the powers as may be set, will bring much in every field (of knowledge) to the peoples, even in the greater mysteries of that of the Sphinx.”

As for the Hall of Records, we noted Cayce described it as being pyramidal in shape. However, in 1931, in two separate readings, he spoke of “pyramids” in the plural as “facing the Sphinx,” “between the Sphinx and the Nile.” In other words, there are several pyramid-like chambers to the east of the Sphinx, which make up the Hall of Records, and subsidiary chambers or associated rooms.

What is more, some of the chambers are not strictly pyramidal. Cayce also observed that, in the same area as the Hall, “facing the Sphinx,” there are tombs interlinked with the Hall. One of these, that of an early king named Arart, was the first cone pyramid. It would appear that the Hall of Records complex contains a wide range of architectural forms.

The sleeping prophet also described that in certain locations in the Hall will be the records of the life stories of those directly responsible for the building of the Giza monuments. To one questioner asking about his past lives, Cayce said, “The pyramids should be of special interest to the entity, for some chambers—that are still represented (still exist)—(contain) the individual understandings or activities of the entity in relationships to Ra Ta, Hermes, and the activities of Isis/ Isris and those peoples that made for the preserving in that particular period of activity.”

As to how these many structures both above ground and below ground were built, Cayce stipulated, “the building of the pyramids, the house of records as well as the chamber in which the records are built in stone—these were put together by song” or the use of sound.

And who were the people who gathered the records together and stored them in the Hall of Records? Cayce identified them as historians, genealogists, archaeologists, researchers, recorders, teachers, lecturers, writers, ambassadors, kings, queens, princes, princesses, priests, priestesses, engineers, designers, astrologers, soothsayers, chemists, herbalists, surgeons, doctors and healers, as well as “diviners of the stars, the earth, the land and the sea.”

Without a doubt the most fascinating information the sleeping prophet received dealt with what will be found when the Hall of Records is opened. He “saw” within copies of Atlantean originals on metallurgy, chemistry, building, economics, commerce, labor, music, literature, art, laws and history. The forms the records will take will be “drawings, recipes, and placards,” with one set of information to be found in “thirty-two plates or tablets.”

The script, Cayce said, will be partly in the old characters of early Egyptian, and part in Atlantean.

Today, we are familiar with Egyptian hieroglyphs, but not with “Atlantean” writing. The hidden records, besides offering an important wealth of information, might also be used as a “Rosetta Stone” for deciphering unknown symbols around the world.

One primary source of knowledge that went into the Giza Hall came from Atlantis, including their advanced technology—“that which had been part of the Atlanteans’ experience, in the use of sound waves,” “the manners in which lights were used as a means of communications,” “electrical forces that have to do with lifting,” and “those that have to do with the making of color and its effect.” Information was stored concerning “chariots driven by gases for the Atlanteans,” “a portion of the lost forces as were seen in the lighter than air, and the forces of the force, as given, propelling in water,” “the use of gases, liquid air, explosives, things having to do with both creative and destructive forces.”

The Atlanteans also utilized “electrical forces as the means for removal of forms of appendages, or of those things that caused forms of reaction in the combination of the brain forces of body-influence, and the environmental forces.” This also involved “the use of electrical forces for metals and their activity upon same to be used as carbonizing them, or directing them in manners in which they became as magnetic forces for the applications to portions of the body for transmuting or changing the effect of activities upon the physical energies and forces of the body; able to use same as re-ionizing or re-generating the bodily forces themselves.

“For as the very forces of the bodily functionings are electrical in their activity, the very action of assimilation and distribution of assimilated forces is in the physical body an active force of the very low yet very high vibratory forces themselves. (Thus) there was the transmuting of the bodily energies through electrical forces.”

In the areas of construction, the Atlanteans contributed “the use of all of those mechanical means—whether applied to measurement, to the discoveries for the movements of those activities about the earth in the buildings and the cutting of stones,” as well as how they “used the universal forces in fitting the stones.” The Atlanteans also proved themselves to be masters of “passing a great current through certain compounds or mixtures of metals, that would produce in smeltering a different metal.”

Beyond the physical means of construction was the mystery of building first with the mind—“in the capacity of the mental builder, the seeking of spiritual understanding of spiritual law,” “realizing that all this is (first) composed of the state of mind rather than (by) physical effects.”

The Atlanteans, too, were the primary source for the major religious teachings of the time, known as the “Law of One.” Those who were considered as the “Children of the Law of One” were those “who acted in the capacity oft of the interpreter from and to the masters, the sons of the Most High, that would communicate with those of the earth.” These believers “presented a thought or a mode or manner of the relationships of man to man, as well as the relationships of the men or people to the Creative Forces for bringing them to a practical application in the experiences, of individuals in every clime or in every circumstance or condition of life.“ They were opposed by the “Sons of Belial,” or those who became obsessed with a more materialistic approach to life.

The sleeping seer also noted that some of the sources of information that went into the secret Hall came from the structures of pre-existing civilizations dating back into unknown antiquity. Some of the records preserved in the Hall will be old indeed. The prophet described how, prior to the construction of the Giza monuments, the prehistoric Egyptians had done extensive archaeological work, and had uncovered pyramids in what is now the Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt. These pyramids were built by a lost civilization ten and a half million years old, and contained records of stone and slate of a highly spiritual nature, dealing with human relationship to a Higher Being.

Parts of this esoteric knowledge in a later age found its way into the Egyptian “Book of Coming Forth into Light.” After their careful study by the Egyptians and Atlanteans, the ancient records were placed within the Hall of Records for further safe-keeping.

Cayce also pinpointed the locations of other lost civilizations that were sources of forgotten wisdom. He described these as, “the monuments as were unearthed and added to from time to time, we find are some still existent, though many buried beneath shifting sands.” One such group of ruins “is now the desert (Sahara) land, and in the city of Nu,” which in another reading was called a buried “city upon the top of a city.” Significantly, twelve thousand years ago, when Cayce stipulated the Hall of Records at Giza was constructed, the Sahara was a fertile land filled with lakes, rivers and forests—it did not become a desert until only seven thousand years ago. So whatever unknown civilizations existed there before that time would have been overwhelmed by desert sands.

Cayce confirmed this observation in another trance reading, where he said, “What is now (known) as the Sahara was a fertile land, and (there was) a city that was builded in the edge of the land, a city of those that worshipped the sun,” now disappeared. There is also present in the “hill land” of the south a lost “temple” that is “now overflown when the Nile rises.”

A local source of great knowledge, Cayce stipulated, came from the Library of Alexandria—not the one the Greeks established, but rather a much earlier storehouse of wisdom constructed by a seer called Deosho. It was built on the exact same spot as Alexandria, only first appearing as early as 10,300 years B.C.E., founded by an unknown sage named Ariecel, who created it as “a center of culture that began as a collection of data, books, records of various groups.” The Ptolemaic Greeks who came later were only karmically remembering what had existed there long before.

Another source of wisdom that was preserved in the Hall of Records came from various other prehistoric civilizations existing at that time from around the world. Cayce described how Ra Ta and his followers established an exchange program of both priests and records between Egypt and other now lost civilizations.

The seer spoke of “the activities were in the writing and classification of the physical and spiritual relationships that were established by the enormous numbers of foreign and alien activities that were from and of other lands.” These “other lands” Cayce identified as Persia, Chaldea, Carpathia, Caucasia, Nubia, Libya, Abyssinia, the Pyrenees, and the land of Said or Saad or Saneid (India). There were also contributing sources called Og and On, as well as locations in the Americas called Zu and Oz. There will also be records from the “Nordic” land, “from the upper portions of what is now Norway—though quite a different looking Norway,” which in that time period was covered by Ice Age glaciers. Was this a possible remnant from prehistoric Hyperborea that managed to survive into the Atlantean period?

One particularly important source of spiritual wisdom was from the “Golden Temple” in the “Golden City” in “Taoi” or the “Gobi land” of “Mongolaw” or Mongolia, which the sleeping prophet identified as a remnant of “Lemure, Lemuria, or the land of Mu,” or “Muzuen,” headed by “the ruler, the prophet, the sage, the lawgiver, of this particular group.” He further stated, “The land under those influences of Mu became as what would be termed in the present as among or the highest state of advancement in material accomplishments for the benefit or conveniences for man’s indwelling” with special wisdom on the “influence of the elemental or of what man knows of nature.”

Still other records preserved will be of more recent historical origins. The wisdom kept for safekeeping in the Giza Hall will not only be from the time of Ra Ta and Hermes, but will also include records from later periods in Egyptian history thought to have been lost. Cayce said that “many of those writings as were destroyed in the Memphis and Alexandrian libraries may yet be found in those casements in the pyramid yet uncovered (the Hall of Records).”

Cayce likewise described that some of the lost records will be writings “for the interpreting of the earth as it was, as it is, and as it is to be,” especially in association with geologic catastrophes. In other words, the preserved books are prophecies of events yet to take place in our own future.

In one reading, Cayce was asked, “What do the sealed rooms (in the Hall of Records) contain?” In answering, he specified that there will be records about “the building of the pyramid of initiation (the Great Pyramid) together with whom, what, and when the opening of the records (in the Hall itself) would come.” Here, then, will be explanations of the predictions in the Great Pyramid, and a precise prophecy of the names and dates when the Hall of Records will be entered.

Besides the records, many other items and artifacts were envisioned by Cayce as located in the lost Hall. The seer indicated the Hall is also a “tomb,” containing the remains of those who aided in the gathering and compiling of the records. They, and the accompanying artifacts, were purposely buried there in order to provide evidence for their existence, as well as prove their Atlantean origin. They were laid to rest in caskets of gold, and their bodies were surrounded by gold bands.

One of those entombed in the Hall of Records was king Araaraart, during whose reign the Great Pyramid and Hall were built. In 1923, Cayce said that the king will be found “in the north corner of the second pyramid,” but in 1925 he stated that Araaraart is in the “upper chamber of the northeast corner of the first pyramid builded.”

What appears to be a contradiction may be solved if we remember that the Hall of Records complex, as Cayce described it, is composed of more than one buried pyramid. It could be that the king’s burial pyramid was the first built, but is the second in position in relation to the Sphinx.

Cayce, in the course of many readings, described a wide assortment of other records and artifacts contained in the Hall, much pertaining to a science and technology beyond what we possess today. There will be samples present, displayed in museum fashion, of the products of prehistoric mining and refining: onyx, beryl, sardis, diamond, amethyst and opal; pearls from the sea near Madagascar; minerals from northern Egypt such as gold, silver, iron, lead, zinc, copper and tin; and displays of “gases” tapped from “below the hills” of Upper Egypt.

There will be books and apparati demonstrating electrical methods of fusing “copper and brass with an alloy that comes from gold impregnated with arsenic;” the casting and sharpening of metals by electrical means; the electrical carbonizing of metals; and the instilling of magnetic fields into metals to be applied to the physical body for healing, by stimulation of re-ionizing or regenerating bodily energies.

In the area of medicine, Cayce revealed that the Atlanteans and Egyptians preserved knowledge of an advanced science of rejuvenation, regeneration and re-creation, whereby the Ancients lived well over a hundred years yet remained youthful in appearance. The seer spoke of the Hall containing gold and special stones for healing, medical plaques, sophisticated instruments and chemical compounds. There will be exhaustive catalogs of aids to the body and mind, including experimental data gathered in the application of complex drugs derived from plant, animal and mineral sources.

Books will tell the history and development by Atlanteans named Asphar, Ajax and Ajaxol of an “electric knife” made of special metals and shape, for “bloodless surgery,” with the unique property of activating “coagulating forces” during the surgical cutting of large veins and arteries.

We will also find machines built for the removal of mutational and cancerous growths, for the changing of blood chemistry and vibratory frequencies of the body, and for the production and combination of “sodas” that act on bodily forces to reproduce in a manner divergent from natural, destructive directions.

There will be instructions, too, in methods of changing body vibrations that alter mental disorder and attitudes; the utilization of music as therapy, with instrumental vibrations of harps, lyres and violas attuned to the positive vibrations of the body; and the use of colored light in coordination with musical tones as a therapy to promote physical balance and well-being.

Cayce spoke of many more wonders now lost to us but preserved in the Hall of Records which border on the miraculous. These include the “chemical weaving” of “papyrus” and “linen”—that is, the production of man-made synthetics more sophisticated than modern nylon, rayon or dacron; methods by which to “honeycomb mountains,” to therein tap the energy of “perpetual fires”—or volcano power; the science of drawing out of stones, from clouds and the elements forms of planetary electricity used to “quicken the activity of nature”—that is, increase the size and quality of plants and animals; “gases” of an “electrical and aeriatic formation” used in the “breaking up of atomic forces to produce the impelling force” for “lifting large weights;” and giant crystals that transform solar and celestial energies into a broadcast power, used for general energy purposes.

Concerning the latter, the seer said: “As to describing the manner of construction of the Atlantean firestone, we find it was a large cylindrical glass, as would be termed today, cut with facets in such a manner that the capstone on top of same made for the centralizing of the power or force that concentrated between the end of the cylinder and the capstone itself.” By this power source—which coalesced the energies of the sun, moon, stars, the earth, and the cosmos—the Atlanteans once broadcast energies for running cars, airships and submarines, for communicating the voice and pictures, and for lighting and heating large buildings at a distance. Cayce foresaw that a working model of the Great Crystal would one day be found in the Hall of Records.

There will be revealed too, in the Hall, books on “the ability to use unseen forces in the material things of men.” Cayce described the most secret knowledge of demonstrating, calculating and tapping “the various influences that hold in place those forces about this particular solar system.” Times of power surges are reckoned, Cayce said, based on the positions of the celestial orbs, for when these forces are most influential on the Earth, and affect planting, animal growth, and even the crystallization of elements.

And beyond that, there are other powers dealt with in the Hall of a more subtle nature—the power of the mind. Cayce spoke of the ability of some Atlanteans, through altered mental states, to totally transport their consciousness to other worlds and dimensions, and to apport material objects in the same manner. The psychic realm just now beginning to be taken seriously by modern scientists, was a prominent field of study and practice for the Ancients for thousands of years, according to Cayce.

Among the most fascinating descriptions of what will be found in the Hall of Records are those dealing with the wisdom and tools of a highly esoteric nature. Much wisdom and many artifacts, before being placed in the Hall of Records, first had been experimented with in two major centers at Giza, built at the same time as the Pyramid and Sphinx, but which no longer exist in the physical—what Cayce called the Temple of Sacrifice and the Temple Beautiful. The Temple of Sacrifice, the seer saw, “was a physical experience, while the Temple Beautiful was rather of the mental, in which there was (also) the spiritualization” of the Initiates, the “crystallizing of activities or services to a special purpose.”

One inquirer was told in a reading, “The entity then was among those who aided, who assisted those who would of themselves purify their bodies in the Temple of Sacrifice and prepare themselves in body and mind in the Temple Beautiful for service in the activities to make known their awareness of the sons of the Law of One—or God is one, for the glory of the Creative Forces.”

“The priests of that age in giving to the people the knowledge of the relationships of the Creator to the created, in the way of preparing the body physical for the receptivity—or as a receptacle that might attune its inner self—to the divine forces in that particular period of development. (They became) channels for the spiritual enlightenment that came through not only those that had sojourned in the earth as constructive forces but through those of the spiritual realm that thought and directed and aided the individuals in their activity that had purified, that had cleansed themselves.”

Both Temples posessed their own record keepers that kept track of all activities and experiments, as well as the various tools for both the preventive and curative healings that were created.

One area spoken of by Cayce involved “a great wealth of understanding as to the mysteries of odors, as to scents that would influence individuals during periods of their activity or meditations.” These were used in association with “humming, producing those sounds” so that the meditator could “feel the essence of the incense through the body-forces in its motion of body. This will open the kundalini forces of the body, then direct same to be a blessing to others. These arise from the creative center of the body itself, and as they go through the various centers, direct same.” These included “odors which would make for the raising of the vibrations,” “that have a peculiar influence upon the body, of something innate within self that bespeaks of the abilities of the soul, mind and body to revivify and rejuvenate itself as to an ideal.”

Another subject to which Cayce devoted several readings was the use of music—through “rhyme, and tempo, and structure“—in the Temples for healing purposes, as well as for education. Cayce spoke of “furnishing to the peoples that of the first according of vibratory forces in nature to the healing of forces in physical ills; or the first ability of the physician in charge of the institution of learning, toward the application of mental and of material conditions for the welfare of the human race, to gain the knowledge of the nerve vibration in the body from the application of stringed and horned instruments as applied to vibratory forces set in various diseases of the mental and physical body.”

“In those periods when there were greater activities of a spiritual nature, the supplied music would span the distances between loneliness and crowds, that would make for the lifting of the soul in those periods even when operations were performed under the soothing strains of same.”

Such music was for “the glory of oneness of purpose,” “for the glorifying of the creative energy within self that may keep the whole body, whole body-individual, whole body as of the group, the whole body as of those within the sound as it ranges from the highest to the lowest of the incantations for the lifting up, and the various means for changing characteristics of groups and individuals.”

Such music employed not only the human voice or voices in chanting, but also a wide variety of musical instruments, including reeds, pipes, organs, horns, trumpets, flutes, cymbals and percussion, and also stringed instruments such as violas, lyres and one- to sixteen-string harps—many examples of which will be “among those things preserved in the pyramid of unknown origins, as yet, in the storehouse of records.” These were utilized either as single instruments, or small groups, or as full orchestras, for which musical scores will also be found in the Hall. And they were performed in association with body movement, dance and exercise. Music was created “for soul mating“ and “for the interpretations of the emotions of the man, the emotions of the body, that were to be regenerated through the activities in the dance, in the experience found in great joy, peace and harmony as pertained to musical abilities.” Music was made “for those as they swayed in body-movement—as in the chants that aided in the individual raising the thoughts in the praise of that power which impelled through thinking, or the attuning of the spiritual selves to the attunement of the universal forces.”

Besides music, color was also used “as a means for instruction in urging the emotional forces of body, and for life-building.” These were often employed “in establishing the customs of dress, the customs of headwear, uniforms of various natures or characters, that would indicate the position or office to which the groups could attain, and were part of the dress.” These were for “making choice of combinations for colors as well as dress for comfort under the various circumstances or offices in which individuals would serve.”

In association with color therapy were “various natures of lighting,” or the use of light for healing. Cayce spoke of “various developments as there were changes during that period in the form of illuminations as were put together in containers that this might become of the source of light in the temples.”

These various forms were inter-related with each other, for Cayce spoke of the “vibrating of light that becomes color that becomes tone that becomes activity.” He described a form of “electron music where color, vibration, activities make for toning same with the emotions of individuals or peoples that may make for their temperaments being changed, as to be very beneficial.”

Another area of healing involved “the interior decorations and the activities that required the preparations of the peculiar characters of furniture and fixtures that were a part of the experience through that particular period.” These included workings in “gold, silver, copper, brass, iron, and those things that were used in the decorative forces, as well as a part of the electrical forces that came into being during that period.”

Basic shapes appear to have been recognized to have healing properties as well. The Temple Beautiful itself was designed as a “globe within a pyramid,” with the globe being more “in the form of an ova, or an egg in its ovate form.” The interior was divided into seven chambers or stations of Initiation, each with its own color, symbols, music, artwork, furnishings and teachings. “From station to station in the seven phases or seals or stands or places of the activities, they were such as to make each station lead from one to another by ever crossing the one; making the continued web.”

Still another group of artifacts from the Temple Beautiful to one day be found in the Hall of Records will involve “a great many signs, symbols of various influences that have had and may have a part in influencing peoples and individuals—dependent, to be sure, upon how much of the will is exercised in regard to same—toward activities for greater expansions, greater developments.” Cayce spoke of the existence of “amulets” having “the symbol of life or death, or building or destroying,” used to stimulate either healthy growth, or the expulsion of cancers.

There will also be found “emblems, symbol-stones, carvings,” and “life seals” which represent the life forces of individuals and groups, “for aiding of the individuals in holding before themselves that which would be helpful, aidful in comprehending their relationship to the whole. And, when properly given, it will be found that each individual will be as in awe of that given to him.”

Incense, music, color, lighting and shapes were “set in their forms and at certain periods or phases of moon and sun, when there were those changes in the astrological effect upon various portions of the body.”

Such influences, in turn, were incorporated into “the study of physiognomy and anatomy and the psychology of individual activities. Thus those experiences dealing with the mechanics of the physical body, as related to the correcting of same by the paralleling reactions of such natures as cause the nerve reflexes, may be those channels through which the entity may find greater activity and service.”

The prehistoric healing efforts likewise included an advanced knowledge of the “composition of drugs, as known—mineral and vegetable, and of animal.” The sleeping prophet noted there was “the interest in chemical forces, as well as the elements of the earth, the elements of the air and water.“ This also involved the alchemical “understandings of the relationships with the material things that partook of health-giving forces to the body, those things as of the air and water that make for the health-giving to the mental forces and the influences of the fire or purifying.”

One classification of items used in the Temples was “linen development from cottons, and the hemp, and the papyrus flowers and lotus flowers of this particular period,” upon which were drawn in picture form “those things that were to make known later in the minds of the peoples, as the changes came about in the earth, the rise and fall of the nations”—a complete historic panorama of the past and future “that was to act as an interpreter for that which had been, that which is, and that which is to be, in the material plane.”

Beyond what was depicted in the linen were elaborate decorations—which, under the “supervision” and “spiritual influence” of Ra Ta’s wife, Isis/ Isris, and their daughter, Iso—portrayed “more attendance to that part of man’s development” throughout all history.

Special individuals also knew “fabrics and how they weave into the experiences of souls and hearts of men and women.” In similar fashion, sculpturing was also utilized as a form of therapy and Initiation.

Likewise, the shaping of gemstones and crystals and their placement either on the person or in the environment was used for healing purposes.

As important as what will be found in the Hall of Records are the questions of when and who will find it. Cayce gave several specifics. He connected the coming discovery with his prophesied period of geological upheavals in the world, which began in the period “between ‘58 and ‘98,” or 2058 and 2098. He said some of the records in the Hall describe earth movements yet to happen in our immediate future, and that these will be used to warn the world of what is coming. This implies the records will be found before the great cataclysms can potentially reach their peak. This confirms, as other sources suggest, the Hall could be opened in 2042, and the era of catastrophic occurrences will follow, between 2058 and 2098, with the “latter portion” to be the most violent.

Cayce also alluded to important transformations within humanity as another sign of the imminent opening of the Hall. In 1932 he predicted that at that time we entered into an “age in which preparations are being made for the beginning of a new sub-race indicated from astrological and numerical conditions.” This will be further marked by “greater interest in occult or mystic influences when there will be the beginnings of the change in the races. Then will come a greater influx of souls from the Atlantean and other civilizations.”

In another reading Cayce alluded to a possible pole shift as being a sign for the finding of the Hall of Records: “At the correct time, accurate imaginary lines can be drawn from the opening of the Great Pyramid to Polaris the North star.” Polaris cannot now be seen from the Descending Passage in the Pyramid, but a change in the Earth’s position by 3 degrees 41 minutes and 37 seconds could create this alignment. Cayce noted that the change would be gradual. It began in 1932, in fact, though hardly discernable. “The Dipper is gradually changing, and when this change becomes noticeable,” then the time will be right.

These conditions are corroborated by the statement made in yet another trance, where Cayce clearly said that the Hall was meant to “hold all the records,” from the time of Ra Ta and King Araaraart, “to that period when there is to be a change in the earth’s position.”

In other words, the Hall’s purpose of keeping its records hidden will come to an end at the time of an Earth shift, and that will be the time it will be found. Significantly, the sleeping prophet told one inquirer: “Before that the entity was in Atlantis when there came the periods of the first upheavals and the destruction that came to the land—as must in the next generation come to other lands.” Cayce was predicting that the world is about to potentially suffer the same geologic disturbances which once destroyed Atlantis, during the time of the “next generation” after the time of the reading was made.

As to who will be the ones to enter the lost Hall, Cayce offered other interesting information. The prophet stipulated that the opening will only come when there is a general spiritual awakening in the world. He said, “As for the physical records, it will be necessary to wait until the full time has come for the breaking up of much that has been in the nature of selfish motives in the world,” and that “activities” must tend toward a “universal approach.” From these statements we sense that those who will locate the Hall will be part of a much larger spiritual body. In effect, the effort of the searchers will be dependent on the spiritual strength of a world-wide multitude who will have put self-centered endeavors aside, in order to add their spiritual energies to the undertaking in Egypt.

Cayce also stated repeatedly that those who will take part in the actual finding of the Hall will have to be of a deeply spiritual character. The seer predicted that there will come forth “those individuals who will purify themselves in the manner necessary for the gaining of the knowledge and the entering into the chambers (of the Hall).” In one reading, the question was put to Cayce, “Who will uncover the history of the past in record form which are said to be near the Sphinx in Egypt?” The sleeping prophet answered: “As was set (predicted) in those records of the law of One in Atlantis, there will come three who will make of the perfect way of life.”

In the same reading, Cayce forecast that these three individuals will have “a balance in their spiritual, their mental, and their material experiences” in order to become “channels,” “worthy of proclaiming” the “truths that have been so long preserved in the earth”—that is, buried in the underground Hall of Records.

In another trance, Cayce again spoke of the finders as being “purified from within,” of possessing a “body consciousness” for a “well-balanced body, mind and soul.” This, in turn, Cayce revealed, will be for the searcher’s development “as an initiate.” In a third reading, the seer also identified the searchers as Initiates, and prophesied that not only will the Hall of Records be opened to them in Egypt, but they will also discover one in Central America and in the Caribbean, where the “records are one.”

One interesting sidelight about these Initiates is that, in previous lifetimes, certain “marks” were set upon their physical bodies, so that they would be able to identify each other in succeeding incarnations. Some of the marks Cayce described as being small, like a quivering above the upper lip, and a spot on the lower side of the left shoulder blade. There are other marks to be sure, and only those who are the “select,” as Cayce called these persons, will know what they are, and will know each other by them. As in so many times in the past, they will come together and work as one, to be known as “the golden company of a hundred souls.”

In a reading given in 1932, the sleeping prophet identified the coming three Openers by their prehistoric Egyptian names—Hept-supht, Atlan and Elka. The first two were Atlanteans who were instrumental in the sealing of the records in the final ceremony at the Great Pyramid, along with “Ra Ta, Isris and Iso.” Cayce further specified that with “the sealing of the record chambers, these were to be kept as had been given by the priests of Atlantis (Hept-supht, Atlan and others), to be opened only when there is the returning of those into materiality or to earth’s experience”—in future lifetimes. This, the seer foresaw, will occur when “the (earth) changes are wrought in the upheavals and the shifting of the poles”—in other words, their reincarnations would take place with the first signs of major geologic alterations in the planet.

When the Hall is finally found and entered, the knowledge it contains will not immediately be made known to the entire world. In a reading, the prophet spoke of “the preserving records that will someday be a part of some (but not all) men’s physical and material consciousness.” In other words, the records will be shared only among a few who are spiritually advanced enough to understand them, and who will not misuse them for selfish purposes.

Some of the information will be voiced to the rest of humankind, especially the ancient prophecies concerning potential upcoming earth upheavals, so that together we may be able to avert their happening, through a change within the human collective consciousness. But for the most part, the contents of the Hall will remain secret, until after the necessary transformations have happened in the earth and in humanity.

This will herald the dawn of a New Golden Age, when humankind as a whole will be raised to a higher spiritual level, upon which the wisdom and artifacts of the Hall will be better appreciated.

One reading which tells of when the “records are to be opened” and revealed to the world plainly states that not until “begins the reign of those influences that have been given in the records”—that is, many of the power sources and wonders spoken of in the Hall’s records will not be utilized by humankind until sometime in the latter portion of the 21st century.
