Edgar Cayce

From ARE


Profile

Birthdate: March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945

Edgar Cayce “the Sleeping Prophet” was a devout Christian who discovered while under hypnosis for a laryngitis-like condition that he could provide healing information for himself and others.

Al Layne, the hypnotist, had an interest in exploring this ability of Cayce to give healing information to people with aliments and convinced Cayce to give local people readings, guided by him under hypnosis. Cayce reluctantly agreed only if the readings would be free.


From this his work grew, first through local buzz, and then mailed requests for readings began to come in.

Through the years as Cayce became more convinced that his gift was valid and truly helping others he began to work at it more and more asking for freewill donations. His wife Gertrude took over leading him into the trance-state and they hired a stenographer, Gladys Davis, to record every reading.

The "readings" described his ability as his own Higher Self tuning into the subconscious and superconscious minds of those he was reading for, and his Higher Self was also able to consult the Akashic Records for individuals and for humankind in general. Cayce was not a medium, although he passed through the disincarnate realms to reach the hall where the akashic records were kept.

From 1910 until Cayce's death in 1945, a copy of each reading was kept and filed. This grew to over 14,000 readings including health readings, life readings, and readings on reincarnation, past lives, psychic and spiritual development, earth-change predictions, other predictions, the life of Jesus, Atlantis, early human history and geography, and theology.
