On September 25, 1939 a twenty-six year old man, a physicist by training, received a life reading from Edgar Cayce that began with this observation about the extremely high character ("of the first water") of this individual:
An Atlantean, of the first water; and one that may bring into the experience of itself and fellow-man that which may add to his weal or the woe of human experience during his sojourn, dependent upon the application of self respecting those influences which are innate and manifested in this entity. (ECR: 2012-1)
The reading went on to provide astrological influences and some important past lives, including one as Eli Witney, the American inventor of the cotton gin and numerous other industrial innovations. The Atlanean past life as Oron focused on his role as an important leader who “kept itself in the background.” Oron was part of the Law of One group during the latter periods of Atlantean culture when the land was being broken up. He was influential in determining the ways and mean for the survival of the Atleantean people and culture, and in particular the preservation of the records of Atlantis. The emphasis on the preservation of the records was notable, with the suggestion that the recovery of this information could be a meaningful activity in his modern life:
It would be well if this entity were to seek either of the three phases of the ways and means in which those records of the activities of individuals were preserved, - the one in the Atlantean land, that sank, which will rise and is rising again; another in the place of the records that leadeth from the Sphinx to the hall of records, in the Egyptian land; and another in the Aryan or Yucatan land, where the temple there is overshadowing same. There we find the entity, in the name Oron, was as the leader of those influences to those that made for the escapes. And though the entity kept itself in the background, innately there is held the thought or feeling within the experience of the entity in the present that SOMEWHERE, somehow, there may be found that manner, that means, that way in which all of that which has BEEN may become a part of men's experience in the IMMEDIATE, now. (ECR: 2012-1)
In the question and answer section of his reading, the recovery of the records was again addressed:
(Q) In what kind of work am I most happy?
(A) As just indicated, in that as we have outlined; and it would be well some day to search for those records as ye CAUSED to be put there. (ECR: 2012-1)
In portraying the character and activity of Oron, I have placed him in a scene in the Yucatan. Iltar, the leader of the expedition, is overseeing the completion of a temple in which the records will be placed. In the background (as always) Oron is safeguarding the records that are being moved into the newly completed temple.
Unfortunately, with the final destruction Atlantis, Iltar’s temple was destroyed. The records remain hidden. There is no indication that the twentieth century physicist followed the advice in his reading with regard to searching for the records.
