One of the world’s most famous 20th century psychics, Edgar Cayce was born the son of afarmer in 1877. At the age of seven, Cayce was almost knocked out when hit by a baseball. Ina semi-conscious state he told his parents to prepare a strange concoction. He then askedthem to rub it into a space between his head and neck. His parents humored their son but hisstrange medicine worked. In the morning he had made a complete recovery.
Cayce was a poor student. As a young boy, he claimed to have a vision of a woman with wingswho told him that, “If you can sleep a little, we can help you.” Falling asleep with a schoolbookas a pillow, he claimed to wake up having learned everything inside the book.
At the age of 21, Edgar learned to place himself into a sleep-like trance where he claimed hismind was free to wander anywhere in space or time. He called this realm the universal consciousness, where he could access knowledge to heal people. People persuaded Edgar to use his gift to help people. He would enter a trance and thenrespond with specific solutions to his patient’s health problems. His clients included PresidentWoodrow Wilson, Marilyn Monroe and Thomas Edison.
Edgar didn’t just serve the rich and famous. He offered a not-for-profit service and some sayhe helped over 6,000 people. He was dubbed the ‘Miracle Man of Virginia Beach.’ He was alsoknown as the ‘sleeping prophet’ and ‘father of holistic medicine’.
During his trances Edgar would refer to himself as ‘We’ instead of ‘I.’ With a voice as clear as abell, he would display great learning on many subjects.
In his sleep-like state, the man who had only a 9th grade education could speak in 24 differentlanguages.
During his trances he would often offer predictions. Edgar is credited with foretelling thebeginning and ending of both world wars. He is also thought to have predicted the stockmarket crash of 1927 and the death of JFK.
Cayce did have his critics. Some called him a fraud. Others point to the predictions he madethat didn’t come true. For example, he said that in 1958, an ancient death ray that had beenused to destroy Atlantis would be discovered.
Nevertheless, Cayce believed that we are all psychic and have the ability to connect with thepower of the universal consciousness for gaining health and knowledge. His legacy lives on in35 centers and 2 schools around the world that celebrate his life and teaching.
