Biography of Edgar Cayce

The sleeping Prophet

18 March 1877
January 3, 1945
One of the most unique and best known cases of the last century: a gentle and kind man able to prescribe treatment in trance drawing on information normally not accessible with the ordinary senses. On 18 March of 1877, on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky/USA, born Edgar Cayce, a man whose destiny was to become a singular visionary. In an era when every "unusual phenomenon" is labeled as Spiritism or occultism, Cayce distinguishes itself from these definitions and trends, proving to the world that you can cross the boundaries of time and space to have visions and important information for physical healing and for understanding the human and spiritual history. While lying on a couch, this self-induced trance state, Cayce reaches a series of visions in which "Diagnostics" the State of health of the person (many times away) and prescribes the most suitable remedy. This despite its culture is very simple and does not have any special knowledge of medicine. He comes into contact with the subconscious of people for whom does the reading (in English "readings") and dig into the "akasciche" chronicles what he calls "the memory book of God".
The Akasha to the esoteric tradition/initiation but not for science, is a primordial great archive of spacetime, where is the history of all souls from their creation. For this Cayce is able to debate on any subject, despite not having studied consciously. In 13 years has the appearance that marks forever: an angelic being asks him what she wants most, and he replies "assist others, especially sick children". So one of his first "reading" is for a five-year-old girl: Aime Dietrich, whose brain following an influence has blocked development and this causes frequent seizures. Many doctors and specialists consulted did not make any solution. Cayce declares that the problem was caused, first of the flu, a special fall (that parents confirm) and "prescribes" a series of Osteopathic treatments, which corrects adequately repeatedly but which eventually lead to a decisive result.
But his first patient is himself ... Hit by a baseball and brought home immediately, Cayce, semitrance, turns to her mother (now its great supporter) giving instructions to prepare a medicated poultice that heals him. When you get sick is treated with hypnosis and commands to your body to restore the organ functions are blocked. Heals by tuberculosis and by different bleeding a lot of the people who have turned to him confident; Restores the view to the son, who lost it in an accident and which doctors they want at all costs to remove an eye; on one occasion shall require a James Andrews water of Sage (Clariwater) of which no one has ever heard of. In the end it turns out that prepared was put on the market in France sixty years before by a Parisian doctor and was then shelved. Again recommends a drug called Codiron, giving the name and address of the chemical industry in Chicago that makes it.
The sick calls the company and feels responsible that the drug by an astonished answer was prepared by no time, registered less than an hour before and therefore is still all that secret. Despite his Orthodox faith denies the principle of reincarnation, Cayce became a fervent supporter on the basis of the information received during his "trips" out of ordinary consciousness. This man of great Christian faith is an avid reader of the Bible, animated by a strong idealist, but who refuses to get rich with these faculties, indeed always works unselfishly, and without pause, until his death on 3 January 1945. Cayce readings are today preserved in Virginia Beach, Virginia, by the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), founded in 1931 with the purpose of studying and disseminating Cayce readings. On almost 15000 reads existing shorthand that include 60% 10000 topics, is mainly physical disease diagnosis, the remaining 40% of discussing topics such as spiritual growth (read inspiring study groups "looking for God"), dreams and their interpretation, the reincarnation (there are hundreds of readings on the past lives of many people), the psychic phenomena , the power of thought, prayer and meditation, philosophical and spiritual principles, technology, Atlantis and ancient Egypt, the prophecies for the future of the world.
