I just happened across this whilst searching for something else. Fascinating, especially considering that the founder of Rotary was a Freemason.
Edgar Cayce's Journeys
through the NDE Tunnel
Cayce scholar Henry Reed states that Cayce "went up and up through a very large column, passing by all the horrible things without coming in contact personally with them, and came out where there was the house of records. Cayce stated that as he ascended the column, there would be beings on either side of him calling out to him for help or trying to get his attention. Cayce knew that any deviation from the column and the beam of light would mean he would not be able to return to his body. It, the column, wound around on a wheel like the Rotarians have." [see the graphic above]
Cayce mentioned that he felt very secure traveling this way.

The mosaic pavement = life here on Earth Above is the All Seeing Eye of Cosmic Consciousness, which would have access to all that was ... called by some as the Akashic Records, the House of Records.

The circuitous three symbolical journeys?

Likewise, but I did note on one occasion when some untoward being approached the meditation group that a week later I had an email from the US stating that our group had been "whisked out of the way". The entity on that occasion was not astral, and it seems that we were a little ignorant of our situation.
>we smuggle a tiny portion of negative energy back to the source for reintegration!
There is also another function that might be performed by a functionally spiritual group and that is generating a bubble of energy to contribute to the growing light body of our God.
I get your point ... It is a good point too. When I was thinking about his case some years ago I rather received the impression that it was part do The Deal.... To have a brain that can soar above the rest, one must be free of the body one way or the other. Not having to worry about his body (others must do that) his brain was set free.
Motor neurone disease is my mothers family disease, grandfather, aunt and favourite cousin died young from it. My mother considers herself lucky that she just got Muscular Dystrophy... Guess her glass is half full ... She is now 88. I am a half full glass type lady myself, live till you die and do what you can in the meantime.
Apart from that ... I saw my cousin after her death, she seemed quite happy with her new situation! Lol.
