This was a time of testing; Edgar had to make a momentous decision. He sat in his room pondering this question, looking out of the stars all night long. As the morning dawned, he saw a Bible and waited until it was light enough to read. He went over to the Bible, looked at the opened page and saw that it was the 46th Psalm. That Psalm has been immortalized for all of us who have read There Is a River; the title fo the Edgar Cayce story taken from this Psalm, with new faith, he wrote Dr. Ketchum, "we'll do it." At that major turning point, this Psalm became the basis for Edgar Cayce's answer to his life work. The 46th Psalm may very appropiately be called "The Times of Crisis Psalm." This "there is a river" psalm is also the "be still and know" psalm. A man was todl that in a previous experience he had been Achilles. He was head and shoulders above all other men-beautiful, powerful, a great leader. As Achilles, at about the age of 26, he was injured in battle by a sword blow to the heel. The readings say that this extraordinary entity, if he had learned to be still and quiett, could have healed the wound; but because he could not be still, gangrene developed and he died. It had been an extraordinary incarnation with extraordinary promise and opportunity ahead of him, but he could not be still. This story quickened my interest in the 46th Psalm which, to me, contains within it a prescription for these times. "God is our refuge and our strength." "strength" suggest an active outgoing one. Yin and Yang. God is the masculine and the feminine force, the active and the passive. "God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear." Now this is where the times of crisis come in which might refer to the prophesied earth changes and shifting of the poles: "Though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the seas, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof, there is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God. The holy place of the tabernacles of the most high." CONTINUE
