 Edgar
Cayce was a great American psychic
know by many as the 'sleeping prophet'. During these trance
like states he gave many remedies and cures that are still
in use today. Edgar
Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was
known in the press by the titles "The Sleeping Prophet"
and "America's Greatest Mystic".
Edgar
Cayce is known as one of America's most famous psychics,
although he himself would probably have preferred to be
viewed as a healer, rather than a psychic.
He worked in
what appeared to be a trance or sleeping state, and would
answer questions of various kinds usually related to a particular
individual. The information thus given came to be called
"readings".
At first these readings dealt primarily
with the physical health of the individual ("physical
readings"); later readings on "past
lives", "business advice", "dream
interpretation", and "mental or spiritual health"
were also given. currently houses all of his readings and
follow-ups to the readings. His work has been very influential
in New Age theories.
The
name "Cayce" is pronounced Casey but is commonly
mispronounced as Case.
Edgar Cayce: For forty-three years
of his adult life, Edgar Cayce demonstrated the uncanny
ability to put himself into some kind of self-induced sleep
state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding
his hands over his stomach. This state of relaxation and
meditation enabled him to place his mind in contact with
all time and space.
From this state he could respond to
questions as diverse as, "What are the secrets of the
universe?" to "How can I remove a wart?"
His responses to these questions came to be called "readings"
and contain insights so valuable that even to this day individuals
have found practical help for everything from maintaining
a well-balanced diet and improving human relationships to
overcoming life-threatening illnesses and experiencing a
closer walk with God.
