PSYCHIC PHENOMENA by Bradley & Bradley

"Is a thought a thing?" Such are the heady questions asked by one-hit-wonder paranormal authors Dorothy Bomar Bradley and Robert A. Bradley, M.D. in this dense study. The authors were inspired by experiences in their beautiful English Tudor era home, and undertake an admirably thorough exploration of ghosts and poltergeists (not the same thing!) ESP and clairvoyance (ditto), and other sundry PSYCHIC PHENOMENA. Hugh Lynn Cayce of the Association for Research and Enlightenment provides an introduction new to the paperback edition, and academic translator Siegwalt O. Palleske delivers an epilogue.

EDGAR CAYCE ON ATLANTIS by Edgar Evans Cayce

Cities fall, the oceans roil, and Atlantis rises in 1969! So sayeth the Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce! Some case studies of Cayce's readings on Atlantean reincarnations are also included, as is Cayce's pseudo-Theosophical history of Atlantis, from 50,000 BC to the present, when as predicted the sunken continent will resurface, sparking a spiritual reawakening as humanity rediscovers their heritage as spirit energy entities inhabiting physical bodies.

A very slim volume that often reads as an advertisement for the Cayce-founded Association of Research and Enlightenment. As noted, Cayce's visions of Atlantis read like reheated Theosophy, but Hugh Lynn Cayce assures us in his preface that his father "did not read Plato's material on Atlantis, or books on Atlantis, and that he, so far as we know, had absolutely no knowledge of the subject." Well, that settles that! In a similar vein, second son Edgar Evans takes Atlantean haters L. Sprague de Camp and Willy Ley to task for "attacking Plato's credibility" in what appears to be a deliberate misrepresentation of their argument for Plato's use of allegory. All in all, weak stuff from the Cayce progeny.
