Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma

I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes at the idea of a 5.5-hour audiobook on reincarnation—until I hit the chapter on sibling rivalry. Todeschi takes Cayce’s readings (often dismissed as sleepy mysticism) and turns them into a kind of *karmic ancestry report*. The narration by Scott R. Pollak is a masterclass in restraint: he resists the temptation to go full ‘spiritual guru’ voice, opting instead for a tone that says, *‘This is weird, but hear me out.’* That choice makes the wildest claims—like a mother’s phobia of water tracing back to a drowning in 18th-century France—feel oddly plausible. The pacing stumbles slightly in the middle, where Todeschi leans too hard on Cayce’s original (and dense) readings without enough modern context. I found myself rewinding a few times, not because the ideas were complex, but because the audiobook assumes you’re already sold on Cayce’s credibility. That said, the final chapters on *breaking karmic cycles* are worth the price alone—practical, almost therapeutic advice on how to recognize and rewrite inherited scripts. The production quality is crisp, though I wished for more dynamic pauses; some sections blur together in a monotone that belies the explosive implications of the content. Still, if you’ve ever stared at a family photo and thought, *‘Why do we keep repeating this?’*, this audiobook will haunt you in the best way.
