Edgar Cayce

This blog starts to explore the life work of Edgar Cayce, perhaps one of America's most prolific Christian prophets. Before that, current status, then a headline review.

Christmas Week

This is of course Christmas week and we have been distracted from normal work for this relatively short work week.

Feedback from last week's blog involved suggestions about how to fix some of the problems in the shop. At least a better chair would be a good place to start.

When Ryan saw that feedback, he was more emphatic and suggested replacing the entire desk arrangement that I have been using for a long time. We went to the local Ikea and found a computer desk that is regular height instead of the bar table height of the current setup.

We found a desk that was deep which could handle the monitor stand. That desk is also adjustable in terms of height from the floor. We found the boxes in the warehouse and brought them back to the shop. After some time working on assembly we found the top of the desk had no chance of attaching to the legs of the metal desk frame.

I went online with Ikea customer support. They suggested we had the wrong table top, and gave the recommended part number. We went back for the exchange. I was working the returns desk, Ryan was off finding the new top.

Once we met up again in the warehouse there was a problem. The part number I'd been given from customer support for a new top did not exist in the Ikea computers at the warehouse itself. A helpful nitwit gave us another number for the correct top. So we found it on the shelves. There was no way this was the top to match what we'd originally seen in the showroom. It was wide enough, but not deep enough.

Starting Over

We eventually went back to the configuration tool for all of their computer desks and started again.

Turns out we had the wrong table frame and legs. The original top had been fine. Of course we did not have the wrong legs with us, those were still at home in the shop. We bought another top, and the right legs and returned home.

That combination did work, we got it assembled and replaced the existing desk. Then we made a 3rd trip back to Ikea to return the wrong legs.

Shop Rearrangement

We had another several hours of work changing the rest of the shop. Two of the Vorons were lifted off short stands and put on the old tall desk. This so they can be worked on in-place. The Elegoo was moved far away from the main garage door. The fully enclosed printer stacks are now near the door. We also now have a giant piece of scrap Ikea cardboard in order to try forming an enclosure for that Elegoo printer.

While we were at it, the entire shop was swept out and cleaned. Networking cables and power were rerouted and reconnected. The 3d print farm is now back running.

In reworking the computers at the desk, we seem to have lost the old desktop computer from 2018. This is the machine that ran the Bible in Genome code. With that machine unable to boot, I connected all the monitors on the monitor stand into the new desktop machine, which gives a very nice 4 screen setup. I will look to see if I can reinstall the old machine as a headless server, a work item for later.

I can now do desk work in the shop while sitting at a regular desk. My legs are not dangling off of a stool. I am now within earshot of all the 3d printers. I don't need timers to track those printers, unless I leave the room, typically for food. For the first time, I have 4 monitors all connected to the same desktop. Life is much better.

Divine Names

Ryan is continuing to run through all the divine name references found across the BRB text. This is tedious work, but needs to be done in the correct order so he knows for sure that every single reference has been checked and marked up correctly.

Ryan's updates this week to the scripture related apps are mostly checking and correcting the Keyword God markup in all the various places where this is used. This markup replaces older word level Filter related markup.

Edgar Cayce

Over the past several months Youtube has been offering me various videos dealing with a variety of odd topics. I can easily be tricked into watching cat videos and other animal rescue videos. Watching a Russian fishing boat rescue a baby polar bear riding on the back of a barnacle encrusted whale is just interesting. Anyway, videos like this will often put me to sleep, which is nice after a long day of design work.

Youtube has also offered me various AI generated videos. These are nowhere near as good, and cover much of the same subjects. But Youtube has been pushing into new areas, including pop spirituality. Perhaps the best known name in that space is Edgar Cayce.

I recognized Cayce's name, but I knew nothing about the man. He has always been outside of my church upbringing. But, I took the click bait and did watch a few videos supposedly describing things Cayce had said.

In one of those videos was a reference to something Cayce supposedly said dealing with a new form of Christianity that will start in the USA. I lost the link, but several days later realized that might be a reference to our work.

Youtube Going AI

The problem was everything Youtube offered me about Cayce was AI generated garbage. There has been many videos like this recently showing up on Youtube.

I saw a video on the Quartering Youtube channel that explained the changes going on at Youtube. Seems Google's AI capital investment is so high, and so unprofitable, that Google is squeezing all their other properties for increased profit.

For Youtube, this means generating cheap junk AI generated videos and offering them instead of videos created from viewer's own subscriber lists. This cheats real content creators of viewers. Google itself captures as many viewing minutes as possible. They are squeezing out real content creators in favor of garbage.

This behavior is an early warning that Google is suffering financial difficulty. AI is probably not a good investment, there are many parallels to the dot com bubble of the late 1990s.

No matter how this ends, Google is ruining their otherwise good brand name. All of this also explained why the Cayce videos were so poorly made and why nothing I'd seen on Cayce could be trusted, at all.

Cayce Books

Then, for my birthday in October, I was given an Amazon gift card. What I really wanted was written material that was not AI generated junk where I could actually understand Edgar Cayce better. I found a couple books that seemed interesting on Amazon and started reading. Even figuring out where to start is hard because Cayce was prolific.

So I am working my way through what are now 4 different Cayce related books in order to understand the man better. What follows are my initial impressions on the man who was most likely the most prolific Christian Prophet ever to have lived in the USA.

The Problem of Scale

When I first went looking for material on Cayce I was interested in what he had to say. Prophets are usually strange enough, what is there to learn? I did not want to dive into his full biography. So I started with a book that surveys some of what he said, "Edgar Cayce's Black Book," is the title.

In that book I learned the scale of his prophetic career. Nobody else comes close. The files of his prophetic work have 14,000 entries. I later learned he hired a stenographer to record everything he said. After his death she was responsible for dealing with those files.

9,000 of those files deal with personal prophetic words which were in some way related to personal health. He was best known as a prophetic diagnostician. If someone came to him who was sick, he could prophetically call out exactly what was wrong, and what needed to happen to fix the problem.

In those prophetic episodes he spelled out a model for human health that has since had massive impact on what we might call the world of alternative health, outside of conventional, Rockefeller, medicine.

The other 5,000 files deal with other things. If he actually did say something about our work, it would be out in those other files. 5,000 is still a massive number. This is not going to be an easy hunt.

So I finally realized I needed a better place to start. I needed to back up and read a full biography about the man, just to understand his life arc and the scope of his work. I have now finished reading the first of 2 biographies. I am mostly through the 2nd biography, which does not add all that much to the 1st biography, but which surveys his prophetic materials in preparation for yet more reading.

What follows are notes on Cayce's life arc taken from the first and likely most important of the biographies written about this most unusual man. He was very, very prophetic, and like nearly everyone else, also trapped by the text.

Biography: There is a River by Thomas Sugrue

The author of this biography was Thomas Sugrue, a college roommate of Edgar's eldest son. Thomas first met Cayce in 1927. Thomas lived with Cayce for a time and had access to the rest of Cayce's extended family. This is the recommended first book for understanding the life work and life arc of Edgar Cayce himself.

There have been several printings, with various updated introductory materials. The more recent introductions to Cayce's life explain how it is very hard to quantify just how much Cayce himself has widely impacted American culture. Ever see a sign in your grocery store selling locally grown fresh produce? Thank Edgar Cayce.

As a starting point I need to compare Edgar to other prophetic voices. Using more modern and conventional terms, Edgar had the spiritual gift normally called a "word of knowledge" or "gift of prophecy." Though how he came to have that gift, the complexity, depth and precision of that gift, and how he used that gift was unlike any other person in modern American history.

Cayce eventually hired a stenographer who recorded every prophetic thing he said. She assembled a set of typed files that has over 14,000 entries. No one else remotely comes close to this much prophetic writing. After Cayce's death she took on the problem of cataloging and indexing that material. Amazon has something like 30 books that cover different aspects of that material. I understand those files are also now available online, for a fee, but I have not looked into that.

The other key introductory point is that most of those files deal with prophetically given medical diagnosis for people with otherwise incurable, often fatal, medical conditions. Cayce was responsible for saving many, many lives with medical cures that made no sense whatsoever to medical doctors of his day. (Or our day, I would guess.)

My favorite example, from one of the other Cayce books in my set, called out "oil of smoke" as part of the cure. The local pharmacist had never heard of such a thing. Cayce was asked again on this strange ingredient.

Another prophetic word named the distant store where it was still available. They sent a request, I suspect by telegram. The shop keeper there sent back back word that they had never heard of it either.

Another prophetic word indicted the exact shelf where it could be found in that distant shop and indicated what the jar was hidden behind. Oil of smoke, no longer even being made, was sent back in a package, healing the ailment.

Many years ago, Ryan and I spent much time with a prophetic friend who had a very similar prophetic gifting. So this was not such a strange story to read about in Cayce's biography. But it also helped frame Cayce as having a special, but not unheard of, prophetic gift.

Cayce's stenographer produced the set of files that became the body of work that has become the basis for most of the well known alternative approaches to medical healing that we know of today.

"Alkaline forming foods" is but 1 example. It was a very important health topic that I learned about in an alternative health class in the late 1990s. That phrase is seen in the prophetic work of Cayce.

Cayce also elaborated a consistent view of what causes sickness and the normal path to healing. This was unheard of. Most doctors of his day only dealt with fixing symptoms.

So if you have ever run into health related practices outside of standard hospital care, you've also likely seen some aspect of the impact of Cayce's prophetic work.

Cayce's prophetic gift, though, went well outside of health and of normal "words of knowledge." This is where he gets even more interesting. Let me back up and explain his early life in order to frame the rest of Cayce's work.

Early Life

Cayce was born in 1877 in Christian County, Kentucky. If you know the modern interstate highway system, this is on the Kentucky side of where I-24 crosses into Kentucky coming up from Nashville. His early life was on a farm in the southern part of that county. The family would move to the county seat of Hopkinsville which would be the family hub for much of the rest of his life. He was eventually buried there.

When Cayce was about 10, his family started attending church. He soon became a devout Christian. By age 12 he was the caretaker for the church building, and was there when anyone was using the building. The denomination was Presbyterian, having been formed by the merger of 2 smaller denominations. His church was the half way point between the territories of the earlier denominations. When the founders met, they used that church to discus matters. Cayce was exposed to their conversations and was seriously impressed by how often these men had read their Bibles.

Cayce learned from these men the need to know the Bible well. Cayce set a personal goal to read the bible clear through for each year he was old. He made the plan when he was 12 and so he had some catching up to do.

He became a voracious bible reader for the next couple years. During summers he had a spot on the farm near a creek for reading. When done with chores, he would go there to read.

By about age 14 he had an angelic visitation. It was bright, hard to see, a woman with wings appeared while he was reading. She asked him if he could have anything, what would it be? His answer, to be able to help people, especially children. He confided this to his mother who would witness to it later on. It was this encounter that set the life arc that would later make Cayce famous.

Book Reading

Cayce was not a particularly good student, finishing his formal education when he was 16. His father and uncle took turns running the school, so they were his teachers.

Cayce's uncle was trying to get Cayce to learn his spelling lists in order to pass the grade. They were working together late one night. His uncle was getting angry at Cayce's apparent lack of care for wanting to learn the spelling lists. His uncle left the room in anger.

The same angelic voice called to Cayce and told him something like, "We can help you, but you must sleep." It was strange, but he recognized and trusted the voice. With his uncle out of the room, Cayce put his head down and quickly fell asleep.

He awoke to his uncle even madder than before. But Cayce knew the entire spelling book. He had photographic recall of every page. He asked his uncle to test him, and with each vocabulary word Cayce saw the page with his mind's eye and could read off the spelling.

Note that I would call this an unusual, but not particularly strange, spiritual gift. It was a childhood version of what he would grow into later in life.

This gift worked with all text books. All he needed to do was sleep with his head on the book. He usually did this by bringing them home and sleeping with them over night.

This worked, provided they were books that needed rote learning. So geography books with place names and maps worked just fine. Math and grammar did not, this because the learning in these subjects is procedural. This strange detail also matters to his later prophetic development.

Cayce eventually used this gift to memorize a famous political speech. He then recited it in public, becoming something of a county celebrity.

This early gifting would become very important later in his prophetic life. Turns out he would later claim that all humans generate something like a book about everything we have ever done. Revelation 20:11-15 is the key cite. The BRB uses the term "scroll" instead of "book." According to Cayce we are judged by what is in our own book.

Cayce, as a prophet, under the right conditions, would be granted access to some of those books and could read them back. This is not a main subject of the biography, but I can see it coming with some of the other books from Amazon on Cayce that I have not yet read.

Ryan and I once knew a more recent modern prophet. That man was said to be able to "read someone's mail" which he could demonstrate in frightening detail. I believe this was the very same spiritual gift as Cayce, reading the "book of life" of the soul involved in the prophecy.

Hypnotized

Cayce eventually attended a performance by a traveling hypnotist. This would unintentionally trigger a more complete development of his prophetic gifting. In a hypnotized state his prophetic gifting became extensive.

Cayce would eventually learn that he could enter that pseudo-hypnotized state on is own, without a hypnotist, though he did need someone trustworthy to manage these sessions. By late in life it was his wife who performed this task. Cayce was called the "sleeping prophet" because his regular mind was not awake when this was going on. He had to read notes after his prophetic sessions were over in order to know what he said.

Note how this sounds like channeling, but this is NOT what was going on. There were eventually 2 sessions when channeling was an issue, but those exceptions proved the general rule.

If it wasn't for the prophetic words and earlier prophetic gifting, I would call this a soul injury. But in his case it does appear to have been an intentional setup for his later prophetic gifts to fully develop.

I would also strongly urge everyone to stay away from hypnotism because of the risk of this type of mental injury. This system was developed in France in the 1780s. So in the tribe of Simeon. Let me not enter their council.

The Cayce family would eventually find documentation for 2 other people who were like Edgar Casey in terms of strange prophetic gifts created or at least triggered through hypnosis. One was in France in 1784. This was one of the first people who was ever hypnotized. The other was in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1831, who would become known as the Poughkeepsie prophet.

The Procedure

The pattern, that would follow Cayce for the rest of his life, was that he could put himself to sleep. He would explain prophetically later what was going on with his mind. While his conscious mind was asleep, his subconscious mind was able to answer questions.

The nature of the human subconscious is something he would also later explain. In his early years his prophetic gifting was almost always helping someone diagnose a medical issue. This usually also included the needed cures. Later in his life his prophetic topics became quite wide ranging.

This whole process required trusted people to be around him. It required their care to wake him up, especially to bring him out of this strange state of mind. Eventually his father, and later, his wife would be responsible for these issues.

Cayce's own physical body was limited as to how often he could do this. No more than 2 times per day was considered safe. He broke this rule after the outbreak of World War II, when his sons were in Europe fighting. Especially important was how his older son was away. That son would have not allowed him to break this 2 times per day pace. Cayce eventually died of a stroke most likely caused by breaking this rule.

Early Years

For many of Cayce's early years, he was known locally for having this strange prophetic gifting. Friends and family and people around town knew it. It was a strange gift, but not the focus of his life. He did not want to make a business out of selling what he considered to be a gift from god. Instead, he owned and ran his own photography business.

In 1912 the New York times ran a piece about Cayce. It described this strange fellow with this strange ability to diagnose otherwise difficult medical conditions. This article was the first to generate widespread fame. It also generated trouble.

What that New York Times article did was attract people who wanted to figure out a way to make money off of Cayce's prophetic gift.

Without exception, everyone who attempted to make money off of Cayce's prophetic gifting ended up in financial ruin. There is a long list of examples given in the biography.

Beware

I suspect that this may be true of all similar prophetic gifts. Very late in his life he was able to see the pattern and would eventually warn those around to only get involved if they had a heart of service.

Cayce's eldest son eventually figured out a business model that was acceptable which did not bring ruin to those around him. They established a not-for-profit, with annual dues and a newsletter. It eventually branched out to publishing. Today this financial model might be called a para-church ministry.

This struggle with financing, and the desire of strangers to try and make money from his gift, was something I could relate to. Early on, when I was working Bible Time, I had people come around who wanted to add a computerized timeline into their own proprietary market trading software.

This bothered me. But it was in ways I did not understand at the time. I suspect selfish uses of prophetic gifts, of nearly any type, risk the same fate as many who are described in Cayce's biography.

I don't know that we have a good business model for our work even now. But there are a bunch of examples of financial ruin which came to those who came along side Cayce. The consistent cause of ruin was because they wanted to use Cayce's gifts for their own selfish reasons. We need to be aware of similar risks with our own work.

Metaphysics

The turning point came in Cayce's life when someone who had heard of his gifting wanted to use him to ask questions about metaphysics instead of personal health. What is the nature of life? Why are we here? Questions like that.

Cayce agreed to be part of this line of questioning. They were trying to figure out why people are the way they are. Instead of asking why this person was sick, the question shifted. Why do people get sick at all? Why is the world the way it is that people get sick? That sort of thing.

The nature of Cayce's gifting required concrete questions. They settled on the idea of asking about Astrology, it seemed to the group as a reasonable place to start. Does the astrological sign someone is born under have influence over someone's life? Does it influence health?

The answer would change Cayce. Though there is some small amount of influence based on when someone is born, the biggest of all influences on someone's life is the series of past lives leading up to the current life.

Cayce would later explain this isn't always the immediate past life, but problems created in souls in certain past lives, often way back, which then become soul obstacles that are being worked on in the current life. (We know this from the story of David. Killing Uriah created 4 lives of trouble that followed. At the time of Joash, the trouble had started 3 lives previously.)

To a devout, King James Bible believing Christian, Cayce's world was blown up. Reincarnation is not part of the standard Christian world view. Indeed, I suspect this was the point where he could no longer circulate within standard Christian church circles. These days Cayce is not known as a Christian prophet at all, though he would point at New Testament stories repeatedly in his prophetic work.

In any case, this prophetic word on reincarnation so powerfully impacted Cayce that he was now ready to figure out how to make his prophetic gifting the center of his life, and not a side hobby. He closed his photography studio and started to focus on this work in a full time way.

I could relate to Cayce in some ways in terms of the powerful shift that this insight caused. Ryan and I went through the same episode, where we had to come to grips with reincarnation as a reality. We also left regular Christianity at some point along the way.

Reincarnation In The Text

Cayce would turn to his Bible and offer a series of weak examples where he claims the text is dealing with reincarnation. Few, if any, of those are probably correct and inspired.

Our list is a better list. The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11, the past lives of the prophet Samuel, the future lives of David and the past life of Jeremiah are all better examples.

These are designed into the text to teach about how souls share interests and divine calling across lives. Some of those examples also teach about soul development. Outside of those core examples, there is a standing Bible study to find the past lives of the key people in the New Testament. Who was Paul in a past life?

In terms of what I have read so far about Cayce, he says nothing that fundamentally upsets the principles of Christianity. He rightfully endorses most of them. But he seems to have missed the problem of the edited text. It wasn't time in history for this. He was in the wrong time in history.

Trapped By The Text

It has taken me several weeks of thinking about and reading about Cayce to understand how to integrate his work with how we understand our own work.

For nearly all of Cayce's prophetic work, he was speaking from his own subconscious mind. This is very, very important. He was not speaking for Joshua, he was not speaking for a heavenly king. He was speaking with an unusual and strong prophetic gift. This was not much different from other prophets Ryan and I have met.

When Cayce was accessing external records, like the Scroll of Life, he was just a reporter, telling us about something written somewhere else. When he had a prophetic word on the ailments of someone's body, he was also just a reporter. He was an accurate and gifted reporter, of course. There are many, many other topics that are not obviously in the Bible, and for those he appears to have been a good reporter. I am, of course, still reading.

When Cayce hits topics in the text, though, he seems to be trapped by his own understanding of the text. His own Christian read of the text is driving what he is saying. There are times when the written account of his own speech seems to show him asking questions of the audience, but which may be examples where he was probably really asking questions of himself.

Cayce's own subconscious mind seems to be asking his conscious mind about issues. Readings which end with strange questions, like "See?" are a possible tell that there is an issue with a messed up understanding caused by scripture.

I see him basing what he is saying about the Bible as based on his own understanding of the text. At these times, he was not speaking as a reporter, but as a witness to the crime scene that is the text.

Strange Sourcing

I am also finding examples of off-handed statements that he made which I would consider to be true and sourced from the same place as our own work.

For example, Cayce indicated that all souls are generally trapped in this solar system for 1 solar cycle, so 1 precession. That solar cycle would be the 25,500 years of the 70 year timeline that is central to the crown exhibit item. Within this general rule, Cayce indicated that some souls have individual lives in other systems. This is an interesting exception to the general rule.

Cayce also indicated there is a solar system where we all head, as a group, later. He did not cite Paul's ship wreck story, but that is the story in the text that explains how we are marooned here for a season. The attributes Cayce ascribed to that next solar system are similar to Paul's final destination of Rome. Some sort of more central planet or solar system.

These sorts of strange off-handed comments are areas that make sense from the perspective of our work, but which will not make sense to the average reader of Cayce's work. I will continue to look for examples like these as I try and understand Cayce better.

Cayce's Later Life

By the late 1920s Cayce had moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia. This location had been given to him prophetically. He was told his prophetic gift would be stronger there because of the water. It took him considerable time before he would become obedient to make that move.

Cayce had a source of financial support to build a hospital and a small college which were both started at Virginia Beach. As had been seen in every earlier example in his life, the people giving large gifts would loose everything. In this case, the 1929 stock market crash would remove that large funding. The hospital and college would both close. The college was kept alive legally, and would reopen in 1985, 40 years after his death.

It was at this time that Cayce's eldest son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, would work out a business model that would work around Cayce's gifting. They formed an association with annual dues, a newsletter, some special events, and a publishing house. These became the key parts to a successful business model. It still exists, and is the publisher for most of the Cayce related books now found on Amazon.

After the publication of Cayce's first biography in 1942, he became famous. He started receiving a river of mail from people asking for help. His sons were off at war in Europe, and without anyone to stand up to him, he started upping his work load. Sometimes with as many as 10 readings per day.

In late 1944 he suffered a stroke. In order to help recuperate he moved to Roanoke, Virginia. He died in January, 1945. His wife died about 3 months later.

What Cayce left behind was a stunning legacy of detailed documentation of nearly everything he'd ever said prophetically.

Cayce's last several years had also included a concerted effort to follow up with anyone who had received a prophetic diagnosis. This was usually months after health advice had been given. This followup asked a series of important questions. Did it work? Did you follow the directions? How long did it take to heal? How are you now?

This provided the documentary proof that Cayce's prophetic was strong and accurate, even if unconventional.

Future Work

I have nearly finished a second Cayce biography, slowed down by Christmas week and rearranging the shop. This second biography is not as compelling as the first biography.

I have more reading still to do. My goal is to try and more completely understand Cayce's metaphysics work, so those 5,000 files outside of his medically interesting prophetic work.

Did he really say there would be a new version of Christianity started in the United States? I don't yet know.

I will report back here in the blog as I learn more.

Watch Dates

We remain within the day-for-a-year replay of David's reign. We will shift to the reign of Solomon starting around 2026-01-14.

There is an ongoing, undated, headline that is most likely part of David's prophetic story. Let me explain.

Epstein Files

The link here is a Alex Christoforou's Youtube daily news video dated December 23, 2025. Starting at about the 30 minute mark he gives an update on the Epstein Files.

This, of course, has been an issue since Trump's campaign. He was elected in part on a promise to release the files. Then, of course, he started calling them fake. This is part of why he may have already lost the mid-term elections, he is behaving like a 2 faced liar.

In any case, only some of the documents were released after Congress passed a law to have these files released. Massie apparently threatened Bondi with impeachment and a few days later we had another massive dump of files.

What Alex Christoforou covers is a strange technical detail. Seems the redactions seen across all of the files were simply black background on black text. Anyone with copies of the files can simply copy and paste the text into another text editor and the redacted text simply reappears.

I suspect this was intentional. The redactions were probably done by internal orders, and someone decided to perform the redaction work in some way that it could be undone by investigators outside of the government.

Alex also explains there was an 8th volume that someone found by following the pattern in a URL. Again, this looks like an intentional mistake.

That these files have been a simmering topic for over a year suggests they may be related to some current prophetic story. Why now?

We are currently within the day-for-a-year replay of the reign of David. Perhaps the most important story from within that time is the story of Bathsheba and how David had Uriah killed in order to cover up the pregnancy of the child who would become Solomon.

Affairs with young women, trapped as sex slaves, and murderous political intrigue, are the heart of the Epstein files.

These files look to be the match of this aspect of David's reign.

Shop Work

The 3d printing of the side of the blue chest was finished this week. Watch for pics on Telegram. As soon as that side was finished, the shop was shut down for rearrangement. I expect normal work to resume next week.

Headline Review

The following caught my eye this week.

Turning Point USA Spectacle

The link here is to a Dave Smith video on Youtube. Dave and his friend discuss the strange events at the Turning Point USA meetings held a week ago.

Charlie Kirk's death was the likely fulfillment of the death of 1 of Eli's sons. So Kirk was killed by Philistines in an act of war. This implies killed by foreigners, not by some American civilian.

This particular headline is interesting because Kirk's death does not go away. It continues to fester week by week. It looks like Israel has taken over TPUSA as part of a broader plan to end Christianity in the USA, just about as has happened in Europe.

The United States remains in some sort of religious battle. Jews currently have the upper hand because they control nearly all money and media. Israel, of course, is funded by leaching off the US government.

The rest of the public has trouble using Christianity to defend itself. There is not a real Christian voice, though Tucker and Candice occasionally mention Christianity. They do not have the same compelling goals as the Zionists who want to rule the world from Jerusalem.

The Christian side in the USA has nothing obvious to fight for. Death by nuclear war is the obvious thing to fight to stop, if they only knew. There really is a need for a new version of Christianity. We can hope Cayce actually said this.

X Unfit for Purpose

This link is to an article on Hal Turner that went up on Friday, December 26, 2025. This is the day this blog goes out. This link should be a good into the weekend.

It shows proof that X shadow bans anyone dealing with the Jews, also their influence over the US Government. This is probably what happened to Brother Nathanael. This is more current evidence that our own work would never get past the X censors. X is unfit for purpose, and on the wrong side of the war.

Making 3d Filament

I have shared some here in the blog about the eventual need for making our own filament. Cost and color control are the 2 main reasons. We don't have room in the shop to do this now. But, I am still keeping an eye on how to do this eventually.

The link here is to the Dancyn 3D Prints channel on Youtube. In this video the host of the channel shows his setup for producing filament for use in his (massive) 3d print farm. He explains how making his own filament is also a cash flow issue, a point that matters at his scale. He normally orders filament directly from Sunlu, a huge filament supplier in China. He orders 1 kg spools by the pallet. So he has a huge standing inventory of filament that theoretically goes away if he can start making much of his own filament.

He is still making changes to his setup, but he has worked out all the basic parts needed to extrude his own filament. The extruder itself is from Amazon. He's working on a different "puller" so he has more work to reduce the cost even more. In the video you will see 3 extruders, but 1 puller. He is working on sourcing a cheaper, open source, puller. He also plans much larger hoppers on the inbound side to the extruders in order to reduce labor. A larger hopper would also be an important dye-lot control issue for us.

He goes through his materials costs. It comes out under $4 per 1 kg spool, which is pretty nice. The best price for simple black and white from Amazon is about $11. Most of the rest of the colors are higher, in the $15 to $18 range off of Amazon.

As you watch the video on his setup, try counting his use of parts that come from Home Depot. Very nice.

He also has some discussion about using 3 kg spools instead of normal 1 kg spools. From his perspective this is a labor saving issue. The spools at the end of the extrusion line need far less labor if they hold 3 kg of plastic.

Because our exhibits are very large compared to his product line, the use of 3 kg spools would also help fix our dye-lot problem that he probably does not have.

I put much attention into the problem of not running out of a spool of plastic mid-exhibit because of dye-lot issues. I don't always succeed. I trick the problem by using 2 different spools of mostly similar colors in order to run 1 spool across the entire surface of an exhibit. Larger spools would make this a much easier problem to solve.

Also, important to note, the 3d printers in the farm need to be selected such that they can even use 3 kg spools. Many in his shop cannot handle spools of that size. Currently every printer in our shop could use a 3 kg spool if they were generally available. This is an aspect of thinking about future printers for our own shop.
