In a reading given on May 23, 1938 for a forty-six year old corporate lawyer, Edgar Cayce described a past life an Atlantean priest named Deui, a recorder of messages from the "outer realm:"
The name then, as we would term in the present, was Deui (pronounced Dar, or D-R); and the entity was active in the recording of the messages, the directing of those forces that came with the use of the light that formed the rays upon which the influence from without was crystallized into what would become as the sound from the outer realm to the static or individual realm. (877-26)
The reference to messages from the "outer realm" is consistent with readings for many other individuals who were said to have sojourned in Atlantis. Sometimes terms like the "outer spheres" is used; at other times the wording is even more explicit with regard to extraterrestrial contact (such as other planets). And yet it all part of the broader experience of the soul as a citizen of the universe. The Law of One faction in Atlantis was keenly aware of this connection and desirous of maintaining such contact in many ways, including adaption of crystal technology for these purposes.
Deui was also a social advocate for the lower class of workers. He wanted the producers to also benefit from the advanced crystal technology that had been developed to provide a high standard of living, rather than simply being treated like machines or "things" (objects).
Then this entity, Deui, was among those who attempted to make such influences a part of the experience of those who were - as indicated - the producers of that used for food, clothing; for the MACHINES as it were for the producing of these - as we would call them today; rather than the machines used for the sources of the correlating or centralizing or crystalizing of the activity in their very forms. (877-26)
The reading given for this man does contain some fascinating information about the development of early humans and human-like beings, including the observation that some of these individuals had extra appendages: "For there were more of the influences that might be used when necessary; such as arms or limbs or feet or whatnot." Certainly, having an extra set of arms could come in pretty handy for harvesting crops, as illustrated. But Deui didn't want the workers to be treated as freaks or "untouchables" in the very class-conscious Atlantean society.
