Extracts from the eight Cayce readings using the term “lost tribes:”

READING 311-1 (Life reading for Commercial Agent ... R.R., Protestant, Rosicrucian)

...In the one before this we find during that period when there was the return to the land of promise. The entity then of those in favor with Xerxes [Ahasuerus] [Ezra 4:6], the king, and of the Persian or Syrian peoples, yet in sympathy with those returning to their promised land; not wholly accepting all of their laws, or their version of man’s relation to man or man’s relation to the Creative forces, yet in SYMPATHY with same, and a contender and an aider to those peoples; in favor with the king, in favor with the peoples returning. A friend, then, both to Xerxes and Zerubbabel.

In this experience the entity gained, though the entity suffered in body during the latter portion of the experience, becoming a student of nature, of peoples, of histories, of travel - and the entity known in that period as a compiler of data of the nations round about. In the name Zenzol. In the present, those books as pertain to the lost tribes, the lost arts, and particularly of travel, are of interest to the entity.

...As to the appearances in the earth, while these have been many, not a great number of these influence the entity in the present.

Before this we find the entity was among those peoples that were native to the land of the entity’s present nativity, or the entity’s birth; among those peoples of the land that were accredited not only with the experiences of the people that were of the Atlantean and Lemurian races but those also that had taken on a portion of the activities of that people who were as a lost race.

Hence in the land of the entity’s present nativity or birth, we find the activities of the entity then were in the name Amelius Cooke.

In the experience the entity was a priestess, in those interpretations of what later became known as the Incals, the Lost Tribes, the peoples from the Atlantean land, the peoples who came west from the activities in the Lemurian land. All of these became as a portion of the entity’s activity.

Those things that pertain to building, to organized building in its relationships not to things but as to building in the hearts and the minds and the experiences of individuals.

Confusions arose in the entity’s experience during that sojourn, for it was many years in that land - though in many portions of same; just as in the present it will find itself in many portions of the land - or as a rover or as a roamer from this or that experience, this or that group. These were the very things that made for confusions. For while the entity understood much those in authority (the entity itself being a princess and somewhat in authority), it allowed self to be controlled rather by those that were supposed to be as leaders - or those who would be termed in the present day as trustees or directors or managers of various groups where individual worship, individual education, individual activities of peoples made for a great activity.

The experiences during that sojourn make for the greater influence in the present. For metals, glass, crockery, woven cloth, the use or application of these in the services not only for the places of abode but for the places of amusement or for places of worship, these the entity insisted upon as its activity of separating as one from another.

These in times past, or in the experiences of many, were all as of one abode. The entity made for a separation, yet these brought for its very self confusions. Yet the mental forces that arise from those experiences may be applied in the activities of the entity in the present, or rather HAVE been applied. They need to be, as indicated in the first, CRYSTALLIZED into not that which forms as a group or as an organization; for the church, God, the relationship of same is not found in houses made with hands. Rather is it found, as has been so oft given, neither in this place nor in that mount, but rather in the hearts and the minds of men may the individual know its Maker!

READING 1258-1 (Life reading for Housewife, Christian Background)

...Before this we find the entity was in the land or isle known as Samoa, during those first periods in the latter portion of the fifteenth century, when there were settlings and the first combinations of the natives that were the descendants of those peoples who had lost their way from the others - or those called the Lost Tribes, or the peoples of Naphtali.

The entity’s forefathers then were in that line. The entity was a combination then in that experience between the peoples of the Mediterranean and the natives.

Then the name was Lulu Lung.

In the experience the entity made for the combinations of the activities of a musical nature and the ability for the understanding of the nautical activities.

Thus the sea and the isles of same have held, do hold for the entity an unusual drawing. Yet the very natures of research demand as it were in the experience in the present those seekings, those livings, those environs of things that are both old AND new; surroundings that have been of a nature that have found the changings of peoples in their activities, where great deeds of valor have been done, where the surroundings produced the environs for the composition of song or music; where great books were written by individuals who allowed or made for the surroundings or environs of the material nature to enhance the activity of their abilities for the subscribing or inscribing of those influences or forces for the influence upon peoples of all walks of life.

READING 1286-1 (Life reading for Model, Christian Background)

...Before that we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods when there were the spreadings of those teachings that had come from the lands from which those peoples came that were known as the Lost Tribes, as well as from Atlantis, Yucatan, the Inca, and the land of On [?]. [Og?]

They were portions of the entity’s people then, in that part of the land now known as the central portion of Ohio, during the early portion of the Mound Builders.

There the entity was a priestess of those peoples that were a part of the experiences there of those peoples. For while confusions arose from the tenets of the Hebraic as well as the Atlantean, as well as the Inca, these became centralized or localized in the expressions of those peoples and those groups in that particular period of their activity.

Yet the greater blessings that the entity in its activity rendered the people in that experience were in the building of individual homes.

And this will become a part of the entity’s experience in this sojourn. For within the next two and a half to three years there should come into the experience that association, the relations with one who was as a helpmeet to the entity during that sojourn.

For, as has been indicated from the innate experience as well as from the longings within, a home - HOME - with all its deeper, inner meanings, is a portion of the entity’s desire; to know, to experience, to have the “feel” of, to have the surroundings of that implied by the word HOME! Is it any wonder then that in all of thy meditation, Ohm - O-h-m-mmmmm has ever been, is ever a portion of that which raises self to the highest influence and the highest vibrations throughout its whole being that may be experienced by the entity?

Thus does it behoove the entity to find in those activities that which will bring about in the experience that which will make HOME - HOME - as a REALITY; close to nature. Not in the strife and turmoil, not in cities, not where there are the surroundings of those forces that bespeak of the commercial life, but that as of NATURE! That as was given by the entity then as the priestess of those peoples, that made for the dedicating of their lives, that which would bring into the experience of each soul its relationships to NATURE as it manifests itself in its defiance of, in its laws with, in its beauties of, in its troubles with humankind; as it meets same in the rain, the sun, the storm, the dew, the beauty of the sun and the moon and all the glories of nature itself become rather as the song of the entity in its experience; when the sons of God with the voices of the winds sang together of the heralding of the glory of the noonday to the sons of God! That became as the chant of the entity in that experience, in the name Tulu.

In the application of same, much might be said in these directions. For these become so much a portion of the entity; and in those closer relationships with nature, with heaven, with the earth, with all the toils and troubles of same, with all the activities that come with same may be found the greater peace and harmony.

For what becometh to this soul that seeks so beautiful and joyous as the music in the rain or in the babbling brook or in the moonlight or in the noonday sun or in the beauty of the rose or the smile of the child! These become as those that give to the entity the greater expressions of the love of a merciful heavenly Father. For they bespeak of the promise of the rest of a home, of an ohm [?] with Him.

READING 2822-1 (Life reading for female Executive)

...Before that the entity was in the land now known as the Yucatan, when there were those activities as various groups were being organized by the upsetting of the earth’s surface, as well as the various groups that had come from parts of other lands.

The entity then was the leader in a spiritual and a material activity, as founded upon not wholly an empire or that of a local nature, but the attempt of a unified work.

Then in the name Quenteroien, the entity gained. Some of the groups followed those lands as were set or established in parts of now southwestern New Mexico, where some of the Lost Tribes were established as a center; and others from the entity’s own group withdrew to same. Eventually the entity abandoned same; though expecting to return, never did.

These brought periods of disturbance, - but that area of the land, of what is now the southwest of the entity’s present land of sojourn, has been and ever will be a source of interest for the entity; not only as to the activities of the peoples and their associations with certain groups or associations because of certain inborn activities, but of the lands themselves.

...With the injection of those of greater power in their activity in the land, during that period as would be called 3,000 years before the Prince of Peace came, those peoples that were of the Lost Tribes, a portion came into the land; infusing their activities upon the peoples from Mu in the southernmost portion of that called America or United States, and then moved on to the activities in Mexico, Yucatan, centralizing that now about the spots where the central of Mexico now stands, or Mexico City. Hence there arose through the age a different civilization, a MIXTURE again.

Those in Yucatan, those in the adjoining lands as begun by Iltar, gradually lost in their activities; and came to be that people termed, in other portions of America, the Mound Builders.

Ready for questions.

(Q) How did the Lost Tribe reach this country?

(A) In boats.

READING 620-1 (Life reading for Housewife, Schoolteacher, Rosicrucian, Protestant Background)

...As to the appearances in the earth and their influence upon the entity in its present activity:

Before this we find the entity was during those periods when there were the settlings in the land that is now known as the Northwest, when there were the enterings into this land of those peoples from across what is now known as Alaska or Bering Straits; those individuals that journeyed into the lands now known as the Columbia River section.

The entity then was among those whom the strangers from the East met with; that were not the native Indians nor those from across the sea, but the remnants of those people who were of the tribes that were lost or that had journeyed to the land, that had settled in the Aleutian Islands; that were of the Caucasian or white race that settled in the valley, with which Clark came in contact or found there.

During the sojourn the entity gained and lost; gained in those activities as to the influences brought to make for the enlightenment of those people to aid themselves, in not only the comforts of the material activities but as related to the more spiritual or soul forces of each, and in the understanding as to how what individuals did to others brought about the better understanding in their relationships to the Creative Forces as expressed in soul manifestations. Then the entity was in the name Jean Zeda.

READING 1434-1 (Life reading for female, Hebrew)

...Before that we find the entity was in the lands of the present nativity or sojourn in the present, during those periods when there were those peoples entering into the land now called the Yucatan - after leaving the Atlantean and Poseidon land.

The entity was among those peoples who journeyed to the farther West or North and West from the Yucatan land; and the entity there was a priestess, and of the children of the Law of One.

The joinings in activities there were for the attempts to establish with those peoples that had been a portion of the lost or strayed tribe, that came across from Lemuria; as well as with those that came from the lands of bondage by the Persians and those that later were called the Indo-Chinans - or those peoples from the mountain who raided the Indian land.

There the entity aided in establishing a new unison of activity, in what would now be called the Arizona land.

There the entity may in the present experience find its companion or associations for the greater activity in the present experience; and those things that pertain to that land or the western land will have, do have, an influence and a CALL as it were latent within the entity’s experiences.
