that about 10000bc there was an individual of great spiritual understanding in the area of present

...as suggested by edgar cayce
and this might then be the actual beginning of taoism

Present what?

Do you have books on Edgar Cayce?

I do, and I've read a bit of them, although admittedly not cover to cover. However that doesn't answer my question. The statement "that about 10000bc there was an individual of great spiritual understanding in the area of present...as suggested by Edgar Cayce" doesn't make grammatical sense. Present what? Present day America? Ireland? India? Referencing a Cayce prophecy is all well and good, but if you want to discuss it, you really need to state the whole prophecy.

I have a bunch of Edgar Cayce books which are still in storage and uncatalogued in LT. My Edgar Cayce era was the 1970's, so my memory has dimmed over the specifics of his prophecies, and asked the question really for both #1 and #2.

I am also not particularly familiar with the history of taoism.

Many moons ago, I wrote a paper on Edgar Cayce for a high school term paper. I don't remember my argument, but I do recall the Edgar Cayce center in Virginia Beach, VA was very helpful with information. I'm not much for that sort of thing, but Cayce seemed to be much nicer than your typical mystic.
