Edgar said Jesus was raised by the Essenes. That was what Jesus’ was doing his missing years.
Jesus was on the move: in India, Persia (Zoororastrian, the mystical magi who visited him at his birth), Egypt (Temple of Heliopolis–Jesus would have learned about Resurrection: Osiris/Serapis).

Jan. 3, 1945 is when Edgar died.

= = =

SO, was Jesus only incarnated one time ? ? ?
OR
Was he an old soul?

Edgar Cayce (/ˈkeɪsiː/; March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was an American attributed clairvoyant who claimed to speak from his higher self while in a trance-like state.[1] His words were recorded by his friend, Al Layne; his wife, Gertrude Evans, and later by his secretary, Gladys Davis Turner. During the sessions, Cayce would answer questions on a variety of subjects such as healing, reincarnation, dreams, the afterlife, past lives, nutrition, Atlantis, and future events. Cayce, a devout Christian and Sunday-school teacher, said that his readings came from his subconscious mind exploring the dream realm, where he said all minds were timelessly connected. Cayce founded a non-profit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment,[2] to record and facilitate the study of his channeling and to run a hospital. Cayce is known as “The Sleeping Prophet”, the title of journalist Jess Stearn’s 1967 Cayce biography.[3][4] Religious scholars and thinkers, such as author Michael York, consider Cayce the founder and a principal source of many characteristic beliefs of the New Age movement.[5]

June 30, 2020 – Bart Ehrman

Jesus was not an Essene [final analysis]

BUT – I stress the adversative, BUT – in another sense Jesus and the Essenes were very similar. They were all apocalypticists who believed that God was soon to intervene in this wicked world to overthrow the forces of evil – even the recalcitrant among the Jews, and those who were “running the show” in Jerusalem – to set up a good kingdom on earth. And so in many respects Jesus and the Essenes (and the Pharisees, and probably others) had a good deal in common, even if Jesus was almost certainly not himself an Essene. To understand the basic world view of the apocalyptic Jesus though, we now have invaluable data available to us in the Scrolls, which indicate the basic world view of the apocalyptic Essenes.

Steefen:
Jesus was influenced by John the Baptist

Christ the King Roman Catholic Church:
John the Baptist is considered an Essene for he, celibate, went out into the wilderness near Qumran, the Essene Community Center. Qumran was near the crossroads connecting Rome and Jerusalem with the Middle East. Here all the nations crossed as traders passed through.
