Could a Prior Life Help Explain What Happened?

John Bainbridge

It’s been nagging at me since David Wilcock took his own life on Monday: could an Edgar Cayce prior life help us understand what happened to David? Although we don’t have biological details that would aid us in our investigation, we do have information from Edgar Cayce, himself.

According to a Cayce reading, “Bainbridge, the entity, in the material sojourn, was a wastrel, one who considered only himself, having to know the extremes in his own experience, as well as in others.” Bainbridge was a charismatic Englishman who was sent into Canadian military service, from which he escaped. He traveled as an adventurer and wanderer, and “many suffered in his wake” through “many escapades that have to do with those of the nature of the relations with the opposite sex.” Cayce was warned in his readings that he could sabotage his positive spiritual benefit in his Cayce lifetime if he yielded to his more base desires. According to Harmon Bro in A Seer Out of Season, “the legacy of his life in colonial America could detonate within him, damaging both him and others.”

On the surface, Cayce lived an exemplary life. In addition to his thousands of readings, he was a regular visitor to prisons, taught Sunday school, and never missed an opportunity to display compassion and caring. (Wilcock also frequently lectured at a New Age church in Virginia Beach on Sundays and worked for two years with the developmentally disabled.) But despite Cayce’s positive accomplishments, his struggles with his dark side and negative habits were always apparent, to those in his immediate sphere. His Source gave him complete dietetic regimens, which he ignored, as well as suggestions to avoid worrying, which he was largely unable to carry out.

In spite of his good works and the blessings he bestowed on so many via his readings, Cayce seemed to suffer low self-esteem, which kept him in continuing financial difficulties through most of his life until his death in 1945. He was a chain smoker and a workaholic, often plowing ahead for such long periods of time that his physical health was severely compromised. He never had enough confidence in his own psychic abilities to charge anything beyond a small donation for his readings, and all attempts to use the readings for profit, such as digging for treasure or oil, ended in disaster. Cayce agreed with his readings’ perspective that his problems were due to the necessity of balancing the excesses that he had accumulated in his Bainbridge life.

Now we flash forward to the life of David Wilcock. Wilcock definitely has a sense of his destiny. He is a man on a mission. He is clearly a workaholic, often failing to leave his computer long enough to turn on the lights once the room has become dark. He has received numerous instructions and counsels in his readings (to himself), which correlate very well with all the life issues that plagued Cayce. Wilcock speaks candidly about his conflicts in his online book Wanderer Awakening, where he reveals the process of his self-discovery in his formative years. Thousands of pages of his online books are downloadable for free. Although he has already done readings for a few hundred people at the time of this writing, he has been told by his Source that readings are not to be his principal service. Planet Earth is in the process of a dimensional shift, and his most effective role would be as a leader, one of a team of “liberators,” who help guide humankind through the changes taking place. Wilcock is presently laying the groundwork for his own part as a liberator with his soon-to-be-published scientific research, his client readings, his Web presentations, international lecture tours, and now the creation of a complete CG-animated DVD series to illustrate his Convergence work; but he would be the first to acknowledge that he has personal obstacles to be processed, cleared, and removed before he can fully own this potential destiny.

It’s funny how details get stuck in the back of my mind, waiting for a ‘trigger’ to bring them back to the forefront of my thinking. What am I referring to? Suicide.

We can refer to a comment by Harmon Bro about Cayce:

Evidently real damage to the soul’s growth had been done by the suicide [in a previous lifetime, when he was shamed in a position of authority], in the readings’ view, leaving a wound of self-doubt which would correspond to what we encountered at times as Cayce’s hunger for attention and confirmation just below the surface of his personality. And the self-violence of suicide had magnified, the readings indicated, a tendency to a “quick temper,” with its “unexpected” flashing out at even those closest to him.

When we perceive David Wilcock expressing self-doubt or difficult financial straits, we can intuit how he’s still working out the leftover karma from the life where he committed suicide, as well as his Cayce and Bainbridge lifetimes.

So, when people say that David would never take his own life, they’re not looking at the bigger picture.

Has the Circle of Life Finally Been Completed?

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) and David Wilcock (1973 – 2026)

Life is a journey. When viewed from an astrological perspective, it is a circle. Reincarnation allows us to see beyond one life to others. Because Edgar Cayce saw his own return in 1997, Wynn Free picked up the psychic thread and helped David Wilcock understand his own continuing journey.

The phrase “circle of life” often brings to mind a cyclical understanding of existence, like that portrayed in “The Lion King,” where everything is interconnected and life constantly gives way to new life in an endless loop of birth, growth, death, and renewal. This concept, deeply rooted in various cultures and belief systems, emphasises natural cycles and reincarnation.

Life Purpose Matters

Now that David has died, I thought it might be informative to put their birth and death charts together.

I won’t comment further.

My First Thought: Is This a Hoax?

David Wilcock Suicide? (April 20, 2026)

Oh, no: say it isn’t so! (Rachel Platten’s song, “Fight Song” has been running nonstop through my mind.)

Here’s the event chart…

I rounded the time to the nearest quarter hour, bearing in mind that 11 am may be more likely. Or even 11:11, when Jupiter would have been transiting the event horizon (Cancer Ascendant). I tried watching David’s YouTube video Pathway to Peace? (live) from the day before, and he opens with a tirade from his alter ego (Daddy) telling David to stay in his lane and not cross the line about Trump’s Jesus post. Of course, it’s meant to be ironic and funny, but it does present ‘something’ that might be true. Compared with his birth chart, there is one delicate aspect showing quite loudly.

His ‘fatal’ Moon is conjunct his natal Saturn. Ooh. But the Yod (Finger of God) linking his natal Midheaven to his ‘fatal’ Neptune and Pluto means that we cannot take this at face value. In fact, there is a conspiracy theory going around that scientists and UFO specialists are starting to disappear (or apparently die). Just last week it was reported that Nick Pope had died. What is going on?

Because Wilcock’s death has yet to be confirmed by authorities, we have to patiently wait for the truth.

The Event that Started a “Massacree” Protest Movement

Alice’s Restaurant (November 25, 1965)

Guthrie refers to the incident as a “massacree“, a colloquialism originating in the Ozark Mountains that describes “an event so wildly and improbably and baroquely messed up that the results are almost impossible to believe”. It is a corruption of the word massacre, but carries a much lighter and more sarcastic connotation, rather than describing anything involving actual death.

Wikipedia

Have I got your attention? Then, I’ll begin.

I chose 10 am for the timing, because it was on Thanksgiving morning that Alice asked Arlo Guthrie and another individual to take the trash to the local municipal dump. Because it was closed for Thanksgiving (no surprise, there), they found another place to fly tip the garbage, and then thought nothing more about it. The next day, the two men were arrested for littering. The rest is history.

Speculation: Why did He Choose This Name?

Pope Leo XIV (September 14, 1955)

There are shadows of reincarnation here. As usual, no one knows Leo XIV’s birth time, so I will do what I always do: randomize it, and see where the chips may fall.

Then, again, maybe he just has an affinity with the sign Leo. Look out, President Trump!

Pope Leo XIII (March 2, 1810 – July 20, 1903)

Both Leo XIII’s birth and death times are known, surprisingly. That means we are on solid ground when it comes to comparing Leo XIII’s birth and death charts with Leo XIV’s birth chart.

Hmm. Maybe there is ‘something’ to the reincarnation idea.

This Shouldn’t Come as a Surprise

Mark Carney‘s Inspiration is Sir Isaac Brock

They say if you wait long enough, people reveal who they really are. In this case, our Prime Minister went on TV last night to discuss the ongoing situation with the American administration. He then showed the world his hero: Sir Isaac Brock. A-ha, I thought, he’s just told us who he once was.

Want to see the proof?

The exact lineup of Carney’s South Node (past life) to Brock’s natal North Node (future) makes this absolutely beyond doubt. Ask any astrologer, if you don’t believe me.

Do Only the Good Die Young?

Tara Browne (March 4, 1945 – December 18, 1966)

Obviously, being a Guinness heir cannot save you, either. John Lennon admitted that the first two verses in “Day in the Life” were based on this individual. But, as usual, his true identity was disguised to protect his memory.

His birth chart, randomized.

Only one of the two inconjuncts can be relied upon: the one linking Venus and Jupiter. The other one is too unreliable due to the movement of the Moon. If this birth time was any later, the Moon would have moved beyond the inconjunct with Uranus.

His death, the day after his accident, may be more reliable. Even if the time were different, the anchors of the T-square would still be operational: Saturn is opposite the Uranus/Pluto conjunction and the are all square to the Sun in Sagittarius. Venus inconjunct Jupiter is operational again. Hmm.

Putting these two charts together shows that his death was fated from the very beginning. Can you see the links?

Rest in Peace, young sir!

“And I Would Walk 500 Miles…”

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (2023)

This one on Prime Video is quirky, to say the least. I had to remind myself it was also a fantasy.

Pensioner Harold Fry lives in Kingsbridge in south Devon with his wife Maureen, leading a humdrum life. Hearing that a former work colleague, Queenie Hennessy, is dying from cancer in a hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed, he writes her a letter, but feels that his words are an unworthy gesture. Too ashamed to post the letter, he puts the decision off by visiting a petrol garage shop, where the attendant tells him her own encouragement helped her aunt fight cancer. He calls the hospice and asks them to tell Queenie that he intends to walk to Berwick – some 500 miles – and she must hold onto her life until he arrives.

Wkikpedia

(Fun fact: Jim Broadbent’s birthday is just 3 days after my wife’s birthday.)

It’s a film about hope and healing, but its accidental benefit to at least four other characters in the story is the reflected light that shines into their lives, due to Harold’s efforts. The ending sequence confirms this. So, it really is about how we are all on this journey together.

The Last of the Flavian Dynasty

Domitian (October 24, 51 C.E. – September 18, 96 C.E.)

I have ignored this individual for several years, now. Why? I wonder. With the doubling up of lives that I have experienced previously, I suspect that this is yet another past life from my own personal history.

I have rectified the timing of his birth chart to have Venus appear at age 19, when he married his wife. That opens up an interesting Yod, pointing at his Ascendant @ 29° Taurus 54′. The inconjuncts are from his Sun and his Jupiter, suggesting perhaps his birth as a future Son of God and Emperor of Rome.

Because his death was tied to a prediction timed for noon on the fateful day, Domitian let his guard down, when he was told that the time had already passed. That proved fatal. But it helps me get the timing right for his death.

Now there are four inconjuncts, three linked to the Moon (Sun, Saturn and the Midheaven), and one linking Jupiter and Uranus. These help us understand a ‘murder most foul’. But how can I even contemplate this situation as being connected to me? Well, Tiberius Julius Alexander may have been my main experience for the 1st Century of the Common Era, but it ‘feels’ that I also became a Roman Emperor, at least for a time. And because I don not accurate vital details for TJA, I’ve never been able to compare his charts with mine. (In fact, Vespasian’s charts, when compared to mine, look like there’s a karmic link, as well. Looking back, this may be due to the fact that Vespasian is Domitian’s father.)

Strongest connections? Natal North Node/South Node positions; natal Moon positions; his natal Midheaven is conjunct my Venus; my Sun is conjunct both his natal Saturn and his ‘fatal’ Moon; my Neptune is conjunct his ‘fatal’ Jupiter; and finally, his ‘fatal’ Sun and ‘fatal’ Mars form a Yod pointing at my South Node, Mars and Midheaven conjunction.

But is it proof, enough? At this point, I want to say ‘yes,’ but in reality, I’m not sure.

I’m Revisiting an Incomplete Post about These Two

Stephen Fry and Oscar Wilde

When I first compared Stephen Fry with Oscar Wilde, I didn’t share their joint charts. That was a mistake, in my opinion. Because of their almost identical looks, it was negligent of me to not finish the job of showing any astrological links between them.

At first glance, it appears that Stephen Fry has almost nothing in common with Oscar Wilde. But upon closer inspection, there are several points of correspondence.

Fry’s South Node is within 1° of Wilde’s natal Uranus, which means that Fry’s North Node is about 1° from Wilde’s natal Mercury. Hmm.

Fry’s Saturn is almost exactly conjunct Wilde’s ‘fatal’ Sun. And Fry’s Pluto is about 2° from Wilde’s ‘fatal’ Mars. Fry’s Neptune is conjunct Wilde’s ‘fatal’ Venus. Hmm, again.

Finally, there is one inconjunct, only, linking Wilde’s ‘fatal’ Uranus with Fry’s Midheaven. But the comparison charts don’t show the other inconjuncts, so I’ll just isolate their combined birth charts.

Now we can see the other aspects as well: the positions of their natal Moons are within 3°; Fry’s Saturn is within 4° of Wilde’s natal Mars; and their natal Venuses are within 3°. Essentially, their natal inconjuncts are also now more visible: Fry’s Moon is linked to Wilde’s Neptune; and Wilde’s Pluto is linked to both Fry’s Venus and Jupiter. And, finally, Fry’s Midheaven is linked to Wilde’s Sun.

So, definitely, these two men are karmically linked. Whether one is the reincarnation of the other is not exactly confirmed, but there is ‘something’ going on between them.
