Who was Edgar Cayce

Who was Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce was born on March 18, 1877, on a farm near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Even from a young age, he exhibited signs of extraordinary psychic abilities.

At 13, Cayce experienced a vision of a lady who inquired about his deepest desire, to which he responded with a wish to help sick children. This pivotal moment shaped his life's path.

Soon after, he discovered an unusual ability to absorb the contents of books by sleeping on them, which significantly aided his school performance despite only completing the seventh grade. This method was a precursor to his later method of gaining knowledge in trance states.

The Path to Recognition

By the age of 21, Cayce was working as a salesman for a stationery company, but his career was interrupted by a severe case of laryngitis that left him able to speak only in a whisper. Traditional medicine failed him, but in an act of desperation, he turned to hypnotism. In a hypnotic state, he diagnosed his condition and prescribed a successful treatment, restoring his voice. This event marked the beginning of his public life as a psychic healer.

Medical Diagnoses and Beyond

A group of doctors from Kentucky began utilizing Cayce's talents to diagnose complex medical cases. All he needed was the name and address of a patient, anywhere in the world, to provide detailed diagnoses and treatments. His work caught the attention of the broader medical community when Dr. Wesley Ketchum reported his findings to the Clinical Research Society in Boston in 1910. The New York Times soon published an article on October 9, 1910, dedicating a full page to "The Farm Boy Who Became a Doctor While Asleep," catapulting Cayce into national recognition.

Expanding the Scope of Readings

Beyond medical readings, Cayce's abilities grew to include insights into a vast array of subjects. In what came to be known as "readings," he would enter a self-induced sleep state to provide answers on topics like meditation, the spiritual teachings of Jesus, comparative religions, dream interpretation, prophecy, life after death, ancient civilizations, and global affairs. Over his lifetime, he gave 14,305 recorded readings, touching on over 10,000 different subjects.

Legacy and Influence

Edgar Cayce passed away on January 3, 1945, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but his work continues to influence and assist people worldwide. His readings, archived by the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE), which he founded, offer a treasure trove of metaphysical and spiritual knowledge.
