Edgar Cayce (A.R.E. or Association for Research and Enlightenment) conducted trance-channel readings that revealed a great deal more than he the man could have known. The council or collective that came through brought forth much understanding.
Our suffering is not necessarily accidental. While bad, offensive, and sometimes insufferable, there is something that could be learned if we would view it that way.
The Aggregates that experience are dukkha.
What is "suffering"? The Buddha often spoke of it long before Cayce, so it might be good to ask him, as this is a very misunderstood term. The ancient term is dukkha, "disappointment," "unsatisfactoriness," the range of the unpleasant between annoyance and agony. The Buddha defined suffering this way:
"Rebirth is suffering, aging is suffering, death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair are suffering; contact with what is disliked is suffering; separation from what is liked is suffering; not getting what one wants is suffering. In short, the Five Aggregates clung to as self are suffering [unsatisfactory, disappointing, unable to fulfill, associated with pain]" (SN 56.11).
Hey, why talk about it? Why doesn't the B shut up already? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we suffer. Got it. That's clear enough. We're doing everything we can to AVOID it. So the less we talk about it, the better we'll feel. Duh! Become a hedonist. And shut yer yapper, O Great One.
Sadly, this view has been prevalent since before the time of the Buddha, so when the Buddha, the Awakened One, bothered to mention this ugly word, dukkha ("suffering"), were people or devas happy to hear it? No way. That's the last thing they wanted to hear about.
Pain is inevitable, but suffering's optional.
This is where the misunderstanding begins, and it could end here if hearers would just put away their aversion and LISTEN. A doctor comes in with the results of your scan and examination. Want to hear what's wrong? No way, just get right to the cure! Let's only talk about perfect health. What's it going to take? It's going to take all that? Forget it. I'll keep my illness. Why, I never... It's only when we see how bad and big the problem is that we adopt the right view about it and are open to the cure.
The Buddha would have had a much nicer time to only speak positively and in an "airy fairy" sort of way, doling out magic, bliss, sprinkles, blessings, smiles, good cheer, good news, and the energy of a modern motivational speaker. He could have just told everyone who came to him in pain, confused, or ignorant, "That's right, you're doing great, attaboy, right on, keep it up!" They would have been so happy to hear it. But because he understood and was willing to show us the awful truth, he came to be called the Master Physician. He never met a kind of pain he couldn't cure. The first step? Recognition. Second step? Cause or diagnosis. Third step? Assessment or prognosis. Fourth step? (This is the best one!) The cure, solution, course of treatment, the way to fix what's broken as described in the first step.
"Suffering"?
I can take it because I'm a bodhisattva. Ouch!!!
No single English word captures the range, depth, and subtlety of the ancient Pali and Sanskrit term dukkha. Many translations try ("disappointment," "suffering," "unsatisfactoriness," "stress," etc.) Each captures part of the meaning in a given context. There is value in realizing more than one term is needed because the thrust of Buddhist practice is broadening and deepening the understanding of a term so important to the Buddha that he often claimed to only teach two things -- what is dukkha and what is the elimination of dukkha. Until its roots are finally exposed and eradicated, we will not understand why he focused almost as much on the problem as its solution. When landing on the single best English translation, think again. No matter how we translate dukkha, it's always subtler, deeper, and less satisfactory than that.

EDGAR CAYCE WAS RIGHT! The Sphinx's Secret: The Hidden Room that Could Rewrite History
(MindFKD w/ Patrick James) This video uncovers the mystery of an ancient time capsule hidden beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. Edgar Cayce predicted this hall of records would be found (even if the world was not told about it). For centuries, researchers have speculated about the existence of a secret chamber within the iconic statue. And now, using the latest technology and archeological techniques, we may finally have the answers. From ancient artifacts to long-forgotten texts, this video offers a glimpse into the history and mystery of one of the world's most iconic monuments.

(Janson Media) May 17, 2022. Primarily known as a past life regression therapist, Dolores Cannon reveals her experiences as an alien and UFO investigator, citing compelling cases of alien abductions and communications with extraterrestrials. Missing time, the seeding of Earth with DNA, the ET cover-up, crashed UFO cases, what the "Greys" truly are, and humankind's future on the New Earth are but a few provocative topics Cannon discusses.
From the dawn of humankind, they have been here guiding us, monitoring us, perhaps helping us with our advancement, but also manipulating us to some kind of end game. No, we are not alone. We never were. From the true stories of credible eyewitnesses, learn fascinating insight into the alien presence on Earth and what it may mean for humankind.

Shambhala has a sort of downward extension. It is a subterranean region known as Agharti or Agarttha, the “inaccessible.” This place, it seems, has a large population and spreads a long way underground.
The leader of Shambhala rules over Aghartha also. Lamas who spoke of him to travelers early in the 20th century described him as the "King of the World"... More

(Aug. 27, 2017) Many people believe that the key to understanding human civilization and history is hidden in the akashicHall of Records made known by American psychic Edgar Cayce (now Gaiam TV's David Wilcock of divinecosmos.com). There are a number of references to this mysterious hall, which has now possibly been rediscovered under the pyramids in Giza, Egypt.
Sphinx when found before reconstruction
One possibility includes the "cave underworld" or ground under the enigmatic Sphinx of Giza, which oversees the Giza Pyramids.
If the underground record hall and library has been discovered, and we are told about it by those who would rather keep such discoveries to themselves, it would change history and the origin of the Ancient Egyptian civilization forever.
It is believed that the Hall of Records [with two corresponding halls, an Atlantean one around Bimini Island in the Bahamas and another in Mesoamerica in the Yucatan Peninsula (view from space) near the river border of Mexico and Guatemala (named after the Buddha Gautama, according to researcher and author Rick Fields) at a Mayan temple site called Piedras Negras ("Black Rocks"), see Min. 7:37] holds more than the history of the Ancient Egyptians recorded on ancient papyrus scrolls. It contains the history and the location of the lost continent of Atlantis (Aztlan).
The Yucatan Hall of Records (UFO TV/edgarcayce.org...) The Yucatan Hall of Records: The Atlantis Connection, 2015
Edgar Cayce’s three Atlantean Halls of Records were located in (1) Egypt near the Sphinx, (2) underwater near Bimini, and (3) in the Yucatan near the ancient Mayan city of Piedras Negras in Guatemala. The third location was not specifically named by Cayce, but from clues and details given in several Cayce readings, researchers in the 1930s determined that Piedras Negras must be the correct location. The Cayce readings state that the records were preserved prior to the final destruction of Atlantis around 10,500 BCE. Stone tablets, linens, gold, and other artifacts are stored in the three halls. The records containthe entire history of humanityincluding the beginnings “when the Spirit took form or began the encasements” in physical bodies in the ancient lands of Mu and Atlantis. They also contain information about the ancient practice of building pyramids. An update on the status of each follows: More
The Egyptian Hall of Records has the same significance as the Great Library of Alexandria, which holds the history of the Ancient Greek civilization.
Writer and explorer Andrew Collins has become a prominent force in uncovering evidence of lost cave systems at the Giza Plateau in Egypt, as written about in his book Beneath the Pyramids.
This cave underworld was lost for nearly 200 years [after British and Italian rediscovery] and explored again for the first time in 2008 by a team working with Andrew Collins.
Collins recounts the breathtaking rediscovery of Giza’s lost world while revealing that the pyramids were designed to reflect the influence of the Cygnus constellation, the source of powerful cosmic rays that might well have affected human evolution in the past and could well prove to be the key to understanding the current rise in human consciousness.

Light echoes act as astronomical time machines or portals to the past.
On Earth, echoes are produced when sound waves bounce around like
pinballs. In space, echoes are produced when light does the bouncing.
Just as sounds can echo -- so, too, can cosmic light. But instead of
ricocheting off damp cavern walls, light traveling through the universe
bounces off soft, dusty clouds.
Sometimes, this happens after an explosive event such a supernova. On
Earth, most of the light we’d see from one of these exploding stars
would have come directly here. But supernovas explode in three
dimensions, sending light in all directions. Not all of that light is
aimed toward Earth. If the geometry is right, some of the light... More
"In the sky, O meditators, various kinds of [solar, cosmic, magnetic] winds are blowing: winds from
the east, west, north and south, winds carrying dust and winds without
dust, winds hot and cold, gentle and fierce.
["Wind" or vayo (prana, chi, spiritus) is regarded as the source of movement, the invisible animating principle as it were, in the body.]
"Similarly, meditators, there
arise in this body various kinds of feelings: pleasant feelings arise,
painful feelings arise, and neutral feelings arise."
Illusion of expanding dust cloud (NASA/ESA/H.E.Bond)
Just as in the sky above winds of various kinds are blowing:
Coming from the east or west, moving from the north or south,
Some carry dust and others not, cold are some and others hot,
Some are fierce and others mild -- their varied moving style.
So also in this body here, feelings of different kind arise:
The pleasant feelings and the painful and the neutral ones.
But if a meditator is vigilant and persistent
To practice mindfulness and comprehension clear,
The nature of all feelings will one understand,
And having penetrated them, one will be taint-free in this very life.
Mature in knowledge, firm in Dharma's ways,
Then once one's lifespan ends, this body breaks,
And all measure and concept one has transcended.
[This last line is an allusion to nirvana.]

Prāna (प्राण) is the Sanskrit word for "life force." In yoga, Oriental medicine, and martial arts, the term refers to a cosmic energy believed to come from the Sun (solar cosmic rays) and connecting the elements of the universe.
The universal principle of energy or force, responsible for the body's movement, heat,
life, and maintenance, prāna is the sum total of all [active] energy that is
manifest in the universe. This life energy has been
vividly invoked and described in Vedas. In Ayurveda, tantra, and Tibetan medicine "praṇā vāyu" is the basic vāyu (wind, air) from which all the other vāyus arise. It is analogous to qior chi.More

This is Part
1 of the film "Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds" (REM Publishing Ltd.).
Akasha(space, Buddhist kalapasparticle-wavelets, aether, etheric field, primordial stuff, primary substance, the yin to prana's yang) is the unmanifested,
the nothing ("no thing") or emptiness which fills the vacuum of space.

As Einstein
realized, empty space is not really empty. Saints, sages, and yogis who
have looked within themselves have also realized that within the
emptiness is unfathomable power, a web of information or energy which
connects all things.
This matrix or web has been called the Logos (the "Word," "I say"), the
Higgs Field, the primordial OM, and has been known by a thousand other names throughout
history.
The first part of "Inner Worlds" explores the one vibratory
source that extends through all things, through the science of cymatics,
the concept of the Logos, and the Vedic concept of Nada Brahma (the
universe as sound or vibration).
Once we realize that there is one
vibratory source that is the root of all scientific and spiritual
investigation, how can anyone say "my religion," "my God," "my discovery," or ["my film"]?
