Edgar Cayce is often remembered nowadays as the "father of
holistic medicine" and the rightful originator of many of the
beliefs and practices of the "New Age" movement. Yet what is
remarkable is that although you might naturally think Cayce was a
pop-culture product of the 1960s and '70s, his mystical talents
gained him worldwide attention beginning from just after the turn
of the last century until his death in 1945. Even more astounding
was that the valid diagnoses and cures for the ailing that he was
first known for apparently came to him while in a sleep-like
state and unbeknownst to his conscious mind. Yet Cayce was a
hesitant and modest "medium." Born in 1877 in a farming
community just south of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, he experienced
interactions with the supernatural throughout his life. In
his early childhood, Cayce claimed he played with invisible
"little folk" and could communicate with his deceased
grandfather. While in his early teens and suffering from learning
disabilities, he said he was visited by an angel who told him his
difficulties would be over. Cayce soon realized he could
thoroughly memorize entire books merely by resting his head on
one as he slept. As a young adult, Cayce's medical condition led
to the discovery that if he laid down and entered his meditative
state, diagnosis and treatment would relay through him from a
seemingly omniscient source. And not only did this work for
himself, but the source could accurately diagnose and offer a
remedy to others no matter the distance, with him only needing
the name and location of the patient. Even more incredible was
that this intelligence could also reveal answers about great
mysteries like the Egyptian Pyramids, Atlantis, reincarnation,
future wars, and prophecies, to name a few. Ironically, for many
years of his life, he would remain skeptical and disturbed about
the information that was coming through him regarding these
topics. He preferred to focus on curing the sick while
reluctant to gain much profit from his abilities. Whether you
believe Edgar Cayce was a gifted healer or a charlatan, there is
no doubt his results made him one of the famous names in the
subject of metaphysics and arguably the most documented psychic
of the 20th century. His legacy lives on as "America's Sleeping
Prophet."
