The following selected quotes are from "readings" given to individuals by  Edgar Cayce during the course of his life. They were not complied during  his life as a list of mantras or affirmations, although they can be  referred to that way. "The Sleeping Prophet's" readings were conducted  by a mediator in a question and answer format while Cayce placed himself  into a state of self-hypnosis.

The  readings were delivered in response to letters and inquiries from the  general public on relationships, health, the past, the future, karma, as  well as health and personal issues. He as mentioned in newspapers  throughout the country during his life. Cayce's readings evolved to  include universal truths, facts, and details about humanity, the world,  and the universe. Cayce was tested, and proved, his clairvoyant ability  repeatedly and did so on several occasions in a public venue. Refer to  the ARE website above for more information. 

"ECRL"  means "Edgar Cayce Reading Line" and "CCL" means "Contemporary Cayce  Language". CCL is a recent attempt by the ARE to clarify Edgar Cayce's  readings in cases where he used vernacular that was influenced by old  English through the  version of the King James Bible; a book that he  read from cover to cover once per year.

John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. His books, letters and essays describing his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park, and his example has served as an inspiration for the preservation of many other wilderness areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir

-"As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens." -John Muir

(1) It's always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at  once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal  sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. -John of the Mountains 

(2) Both ocean and sky are already about as rosy as possible the one with stars, the other with dulse, and foam, and wild light. - Steep Trails

(11)  Storms of every sort, torrents, earthquakes, cataclysms, 'convulsions of  nature,' etc., however mysterious and lawless at first sight they may seem, are only harmonious notes in the song of creation, varied  expressions of God's love. 

(12)  And into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

(13) I ran home in the moonlight with firm strides; for the sun-love made me strong. 

(14) ...full of God's thoughts, a place of peace and safety amid the most  exalted grandeur and enthusiastic action, a new song, a place of  beginnings abounding in first lessons of life, mountain building,  eternal, invincible, unbreakable order; with sermons in stone, storms,  trees, flowers, and animals brimful with humanity.

(15) We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us. Our flesh-and-bone tabernacle seems transparent as glass to the beauty about us, as if truly an inseparable part of it, thrilling with the air and trees, streams and rocks, in the waves of the sun, —a part of all nature, neither old nor young, sick nor well, but immortal.
