Sheryl asks Marc to think back to his childhood to remember a person place or event that left a lasting imprint on him and which guides him in his work and life pursuits in adulthood. Sheryl who knows a great deal about Edgar Cayce and his work is reminded of the story of Edgar Cayce as a young boy riding on a horse with his grandfather and the horse fell. The boy saw his grandfather on the ground but at the same time Edgar saw him walking away. A sensitive child, only 3 years old, he was able to see spirit. Sheryl didn’t read about Edgar Cayce until she had already studied Reiki in New York at the A.R.E center there. Mark goes on to tell us about a gift he received as a child and how he wished to serve and find out his real purpose in life.
Edgar Cayce his ideology and his love of God influenced Mark immensely and he incorporated much of the many archived readings done by Edgar Cayce into his work and writings as a spiritual psychologist He tells us that eighty years ago Edgar Cayce a renowned mystic and psychic was one of the few who spoke so specifically and eloquently about each person having a particular Soul purpose. A calling was not reserved for those whose vocation was in the church or religious order, but all of us, a farmer, teacher, or business owner. The broader view is that we are all born with a gift a set of talents aptitudes and inclinations to do something special.
Sheryl tells Mark that about 24 years ago she was sick with the flu and had a dream and felt her grandfather who had passed many years before standing to the side in shadow form and just knew it was him. Sheryl’s grandfather told her to write something for her father and when she awoke Sheryl wasn’t sure what had transpired. The next day she received a phone call from her mother informing her that her father had passed and so she wrote his eulogy. At that time Sheryl didn’t believe in an afterlife or past lives as she was very much a practical girl of the physical world even though as a child she was sensitive, intuitive and empathic simply knowing there was more than she was being taught by her family and teachers. After her Reiki energy training Sheryl realized and used her medical intuitive abilities and readings for people wanting to be of help or service to people as she always felt inclined to do. As she learned more about Edgar Cayce she felt more and more like she was following his instruction and work style.
