Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the sleeping prophet, the father of holistic medicine, the miracle man of Virginia Beach, and the most documented psychic of all time. For forty-three years of his adult life, he had the ability to put himself into a self-induced sleep state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. This state of relaxation and meditation enabled him to place his mind in contact with all time and space and gave him the ability to respond to any question he was asked. His responses came to be called readings and contain insights so valuable that even to this day Edgar Cayces work is known throughout the world. Hundreds of books have explored his amazing psychic gift, and the entire range of Cayce material is accessed by tens of thousands of people daily via the Internet.

Although the vast majority of the Cayce material deals with health and every manner of illness, countless topics were explored by Cayces psychic talent: dreams, philosophy, intuition, business advice, the Bible, education, child rearing, ancient civilizations, personal spirituality, improving human relationships, and much more. In fact, during Cayces lifetime he discussed an amazing 10,000 different subjects!

The Cayce legacy presents a body of information so valuable that Edgar Cayce himself might have hesitated to predict its impact on contemporary society. Who could have known that eventually terms such as meditation, auras, spiritual growth, reincarnation, and holism would become household words to millions? Edgar Cayces A.R.E. (the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.) has grown from its humble beginnings to an association with Edgar Cayce Centers in countries around the world. Today, the Cayce organizations consist of hundreds of educational activities and outreach programs, childrens camps, a multi-million dollar publishing company, membership benefits and services, volunteer contacts and programs worldwide, massage and health services, prison and prayer outreach programs, conferences and workshops, internet and online activities, and affiliated schools (Atlantic University: AtlanticUniv.edu and the Cayce/Reilly School of Masso-therapy: CayceReilly.edu).

Edgar Cayce was born and reared on a farm near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. He had a normal childhood in many respects. However, he could see the glowing energy patterns that surround individuals. At a very early age he told his parents that he could see and talk with his grandfatherwho was deceased. Later, he developed the ability to sleep on his schoolbooks and retain a photographic memory of their entire contents.

As the years passed, he met and fell in love with Gertrude Evans, who would become his wife. Shortly thereafter, he developed a paralysis of the vocal cords and could scarcely speak above a whisper. Everything was tried, but no physician was able to locate a cause. The laryngitis persisted for months. As a last resort, hypnosis was tried. Cayce put himself to sleep and was asked by a specialist to describe the problem. While asleep, he spoke normally, diagnosing the ailment and prescribing a simple treatment. After the recommendations were followed, Edgar Cayce could speak normally for the first time in almost a year. The date was March 31, 1901that was the first reading.

When it was discovered what had happened, many others began to want help. It was soon learned that Edgar Cayce could put himself into this unconscious state and give readings for anyoneregardless of where the person was. If the advice was followed, they got well. Newspapers throughout the country carried articles about his work, but it wasnt really until Gertrude was stricken with tuberculosis that the readings were brought home to him. Even with medical treatments, she continued to grow worse and was not expected to live. Finally, the doctors said there was nothing more they could do. A reading was given, recommending such things as osteopathy, hydrotherapy, inhalants, dietary changes, and prescription medication. The advice was followed and Gertrude returned to perfectly normal health.

For decades, the Cayce readings have stood the test of time, research, and extensive study. Further details of Cayces life and work are explored in such classic books as There is a River (1942) by Thomas Sugrue, The Sleeping Prophet (1967) by Jess Stearn, Many Mansions (1950) by Gina Cerminara, and Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet (2000) by Sidney Kirkpatrick. Further information about Edgar Cayces A.R.E., as well as activities, materials and services, is available at EdgarCayce.org.

Throughout his life, Edgar Cayce claimed no special abilities, nor did he ever consider himself to be a twentieth-century prophet. The readings never offered a set of beliefs that had to be embraced, but instead focused on the fact that each person should test in his or her own life the principles presented. Though Cayce himself was a Christian and read the Bible from cover to cover every year of his life, his work was one that stressed the importance of comparative study among belief systems all over the world. The underlying principle of the readings is the oneness of all life, a tolerance for all people, and a compassion and understanding for every major religion in the world.

Today, the Cayce organizations continue the legacy begun by Edgar Cayce with an undergirding mission to help people change their lives for the betterphysically, mentally, and spirituallythrough the ideas in the Edgar Cayce material.

During the 43 years he gave readings, Edgar Cayce discussed an amazing 10,000 different topics! Whether your interest is acne or Zoroastrianism, or anything in between, there are undoubtedly insights and information contained in the Cayce material. However, in spite of this immense subject matter, perhaps the information on earth changes has received the greatest amount of publicity and more notoriety than anything else in the Cayce archives. Unfortunately, over the years, many individuals have incorrectly assumed that the Cayce material on earth changes could be summarized with such predicted catastrophes as a global future fraught with earthquakes, California sliding off into the ocean (potentially as far east as Nebraska), a shifting of the poles, and a calamitous disaster that would connect the Great Lakes with the Gulf of Mexico and essentially divide what remained of the continental United States into two.
