Description

Public interest in Edgar Cayce is greater now, sixty-two years after his death, than when he was alive and making the incredible predictions that established him as the most documented psychic of all time. In early 1929 Cayce predicted an imminent Wall Street crash. It came the following October. Edgar Cayce's predictions reached beyond historic dates and happenings and often helped people personally by prescribing medical treatment and surgeries sometimes for people he had never met procedures which saved many lives. His gift was truly amazing! Here is the story of this remarkable man whose wonders are yet been able to be explained or duplicated.

Here is a google translation of vdb's (French) review:

Edgar Cayce (18 March 1877 near Beverly, Kentucky, United States - 3 January 1945 in Virginia Beach, United States) is sometimes referred to as the "sleeping prophet" and one of the "greatest mystics" of the United States . During readings,

entering into a trance through hypnosis, he answered questions about an individual. These readings evoke, in the beginning, the physical health. Then, the councils diversify and relate to the past lives, the interpretations of dreams, the psychic phenomena, the mental health, the meditation, the prayer, the spiritual development, but also the trade and Atlantis. He remains known for the parts of his work that he considered most important, such as caring (the vast majority of his "readings" were made for people who were sick) or Christian theology (Cayce was all his life a member of the Disciples of Christ, a Protestant church). It could be the origin of the idea that California will one day be "overwhelmed". Although he lived before the emergence of the New Age, he had a great influence on some ideas of this current. Skeptics doubt his psychic prowess, as well as conservative Christians who question his orthodoxy.
