This is the setup to something Don M sent
me that I'll get to presently.
Last week, you may remember, Drudge had this link:
Lost city of Atlantis, swamped by tsunami, may
be found... ^
That triggered in me "Edgar Cayce"
. I first became aware of Cayce while I was dating this very hot
college chick (now the mother of my children) who was surprised I'd not
heard of him. She told me they studied him in class, and the Edgar Cayce Institute
was just down the road from my favorite watering hole (The Surf Rider)
in Virginia Beach.
Intrigued, and knowing the value of showing interest in what my
girlfriend likes, I started buying and reading Cayce books.
Whoa! He was perhaps best know for his (extremely well
documented) ability to diagnose disease in people while in a
trance. But when I dropped by the Cayce Institute, the attendant
told me that 90% of researchers who showed up were geologists, or men
of science. They were drawn by his uncanny predictions, one of
which was the existence of a fault line running through New York (since
discovered) and extending down the east coast. Virginia Beach, he
predicted, was the safest place to live on the Atlantic coast, and
would one day be the nations only major seaport. (And yes,
California will fall into the sea)
Atlantis, of which I knew nothing about at the time, also fascinated
me. According to him, Atlantians had a deep understanding of the
universe, but abused that knowledge and, in a cataclysmic event,
disappeared under the sea about 10,000
years ago. That time-line held profound implications for me, if
true. So, what's this all about?
 From Don M. We've passed the last
turnoff. If this Earth was my Sim City project, I'd sink the
whole damned thing and start over. And someone will do just that pretty damned
soon. No, the earth will not end. It will end as we know
it. Like it did for Atlantians.
In the meanwhile, God help us. I feel unrestrained about posting
any damned thing I feel like. I'll either have 1 million
hits/day, or 10. This, though, may change in the morning. You
know what I just thought of? I thought of? Acid Man naked. The man
had class.

All the interesting things aside........Acid Man's blog was the first one I read on a steady basis and Gut referred me to you. Cayce was an interesting bloke for sure too.
ReplyDeleteI can finally justify the purchase of that red '57 Chevy...

ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to have known Acidman personally. He roared on his blog, but in person he was soft-spoken and extremely polite. Everything he wrote was worth reading, and every time he spoke, he was worth listening to.
ReplyDeleteThis car thing would have driven him nuts.
I've read quite a bit about Cayce, fascinating story. If here were alive today, he'd have taken James Randi's reward for proving the existence of the paranormal.
ReplyDeleteI could write a book here, but there's plenty of material online. Some of it is way out there, avoid. Just read what he did himself, the very well documented things he did and predictions he made that have come true are striking. Some of the best are the things that haven't yet been confirmed. Given his amazing success record, those are the ones that really make you think.
AWM
So if you wanted to whack someone, you would take control of the car's computer, run the speed up to 140 mph, wait 'til it crashed into a hard object, and then wipe the computer clean.
