What if your soul began its journey not on Earth but among the stars?

Edgar Cayce had a remarkable gift. He could see beyond time into the distant past, even before Earth existed. In his readings, he shared something amazing: each of us was there, not as we are now, but as our true selves, souls made in the image of the Divine.

According to Cayce, we began as children of God, spiritual beings with minds and free will who existed in celestial realms long before taking on physical form.

Many of Earth’s ancient legends echo this truth. Our souls did not originate on Earth but among the stars, journeying into physical bodies only later, in lost civilizations such as Lemuria and Atlantis.

Join John Van Auken for a three-day retreat where he shares these inspiring stories through engaging talks and images, based on over 60 years of studying Cayce’s work. Together, you will explore the soul’s journey from its divine beginnings to what it means for your life today.
