Crazy Horse, St. Bernadette, and Edgar Cayce

So what do Crazy Horse, St. Bernadette, and Edgar Cayce all have in common? Just for fun, let's take a look...
Interestingly, the lives of Crazy Horse and St. Bernadette were pretty darn co-linear. Crazy Horse was born in either 1840 or 1844 and was assasinated in 1877. St. Bernadette, the young French girl who was visited by the Female Christ in a grotto outside of Lourdes, was born in 1844 and died in 1879, at the age of 35. Crazy Horse was either 33 or 37 when he died. Their lives were going on at the very same time on the opposite sides of the globe, and they were as opposite as could be. (Or were they?)
Edgar Cayce wasn't born until 1877, the year Crazy Horse died, and two years before St. Bernadette died (to this day her body has not decomposed). Cayce probably had more in common with Bernadette than with Crazy Horse. Both were very Christianity oriented, and both had encounters with the Female Christ. But Crazy Horse's religion--that of the Lakota--was all based on the Female Christ/White Buffalo Calf Woman. So all three individuals are tied into the Female Christ. That's what they have in common.
Another curiosity they have in common is that they are all three Spring babies. Cayce was born on March 18th, a late Pisces just a few days away from Aries. Bernadette was an Aries born on April 16th. Crazy Horse's birthday is unknown, but it is recorded that it was a Spring birth in the Indian months that correspond with our March and April.
Something else they have in common--to some extent--is that they were all three persecuted by Christians. With Crazy Horse it was more indirect. His people were simply wiped out by a people carrying the dual flags of Christianity and the United States. His people's spiritual foundations based upon the Female Christ/White Buffalo Calf Woman were attacked and vilified by the conquering white Christian army.
With St. Bernadette it was more personal. When news broke of her miraculous meeting with the Female Christ, the very first one to attack the reports was the Christian Church. Bernadette's local Christian church put her on trial, threatening to banish her from the church for her claims to have spoken to the Female Christ. It was the village people; the ones who had been cured by the miracle waters brought forth by Bernadette's meetings with the Female Christ, the ones who had thrown away their crutches and wheel chairs and eye patches and such, who finally convinced the local priest that Bernadette was not evil. Once the priest was finally convinced, Bernadette was still not off the hook for the priest had to convince the Holy See--which took an incredibly long time. The Christian Church was Bernadette's biggest enemy, but they finally called her a saint. To Bernadette, it didn't matter.
It was personal for Cayce, too. While he was living in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the church Cayce belonged to--and for whom he taught Sunday Bible school--actually initiated excommunication procedures to have Cayce removed from their church because of his psychic abilities. Cayce was utterly horrified that his own brethren would do that to him. Cayce considered himself an extremely devout Christian and to be accused of evil was earthshattering to him.
The church administration was shocked to open the proceedings for the excommunication to a standing room only audience. It seemed every member of the congregation showed up, and they all testified, one after the other, in Cayce's defense. They told of their babies who had been so sick that the medical establishment had given up, and how Cayce's "evil psychic" advice saved their babies and restored their health. They told of endless medical miracles, and spiritual miracles, too. After a day's worth of people testifying on Cayce's behalf, the church's governing body dismissed all charges against Cayce. If they hadn't, they would have been mobbed by practically the entire congregation.
Cayce never forgot!
Cayce, St. Bernadette, and Crazy Horse are all considered saints, or near-saints, by their followers, yet all three were branded as evil, at one time, by the hierarchical elite aspects of Christendom. This is something everyone eventually confronts who follows the way of the Female Christ. One can get mad and hold a grudge and fight back, like Cayce or Crazy Horse, or one can be totally oblivious, like Bernadette. It is assumed that both Cayce's body and Crazy Horses's body have decomposed, whereas Bernadette's body is as fresh today as it was when she died 125 years ago.
Something to think about, anyway.
