Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce was born on March 18, 1877, near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Cayce was raised in the Christian Church, which was an offshoot of Presbterianism. He grew to have a great love of the Bible and when he received his own Bible at the age of ten, he resolved to read the Bible once through for each year he was alive. This love of the Bible was a main focal point for his entire life. 

He had never asked to be a prophet. It came upon him unexpectedly once when he was hypnotized. He had lost the use of his voice and his doctors we unable to help him. A friend suggesting asking his subconscious what was causing the problem. 

He would lie down and put himself into a trance state. While in this trance state he would not remember anything that he had said. His wife would ask him questions and he would give the answers, while in trance. A scribe would keep a record. In the beginning people came to him for diagnosis for ailments that their doctors could not diagnose. Cayce would be able to not only give a diagnosis, but would be able to give prescriptions for treatments. 

In some of his health readings, he began to mention karmic situations for the illness that had its roots in another past life. This lead to people requesting past life readings. In all the past life readings, Cayce would only mentions lives and situations that were pertinent to the life that they were currently living. 

He has given over 30,000 diagnosis with quite stunning accuracy. He only used his ability to prescribe for the sick or to give spiritual and vocational advice, when asked so specifically. He never sought fame or appeared publicly. He did not seek wealth. His economic standing was often quite precarious and never rose above that of modest security. 

Cayce himself had questioned the source of the information. He came to the conclusion that it was doing nobody any harm and was in fact helping people, so it must have been from a true source. 

From age 23 until he died at the age of 67, on January 3, 1945, he had dedicated his life to helping others through his extraordinary gift. His death was even brought on by overwork trying to finish as many readings as the requests that came to him. 

The core message of the Cayce material would fit nicely with any religion and is a very good complement to the Bible and Christianity. Anyone can benefit from the Cayce material within the confines of their own beliefs systems [Exceprt from Til The Unity of Faith].
