Front cover
The cover of this manual is a picture of a quilt that hangs in the ARE (Association for Research and Enlightenment). It is based on a dream that Edgar Cayce had which in his understanding explained how he was able to access the information he received. In the dream, he saw himself as a tiny speck that was elevated in a whirlwind. As the dot/speck traveled upward the vortex around it grew larger and larger connecting and expanding as it grew. Later during a reading he gave it was confirmed by Spirit that the whirlwind visual was an accurate image and it was a fact that during the readings he was no longer constrained by space or time. As indicated, the entity is in the affairs of the world a tiny speck, as it were, a mere grain of sand: yet when raised in the atmosphere or realm of the spiritual forces it becomes all inclusive. (From the readings of Edgar Cayce)
Edgar Cayce
For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar Cayce demonstrated the uncanny ability to put himself into some kind of 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. From this state he could respond to questions as diverse as "What are the secrets of the universe?" to "How can I remove a wart?" His responses to these questions came to be called "readings" and contain insights so valuable that even to this day individuals have found practical help for everything from maintaining a well-balanced diet and improving human relationships to overcoming life-threatening illnesses and experiencing a closer walk with God. Although Cayce died more than sixty years ago, the timeliness of the material in the readings is evidenced by approximately one dozen biographies and more than 300 titles that discuss various aspects of this man's life and work. These books contain a corpus of information so valuable that even Edgar Cayce himself might have hesitated to
predict their impact on the contemporary world. Sixty years ago who could have known that terms such as "meditation," "Akashic records," "spiritual growth," "auras," "soul mates," and "holism" would have become household words to millions? Further details of Cayce's life and work are explored in the classic book There is a River by Thomas Sugrue (1942). The majority of Edgar Cayce's readings deal with health maintenance and the treatment of illness. Even to this day individuals have found physical help from information given as long as 100 years ago! Yet, although best known for this material, the sleeping Cayce did not seem to be limited to concerns about the physical body. In fact, in their entirety the readings discuss an astonishing number of 10,000 different subjects. Even this vast array of subject matter, however, can be narrowed down into a much smaller range of topics. When compiled together, the majority contain and deal with the following five categories: (1) Health-Related Information; (2) Philosophy and Reincarnation; (3) Dreams and Dream Interpretation; (4) ESP and Psychic Phenomena; and (5) Spiritual Growth, Meditation, and Prayer.
Eventually, he found the perfect job in Hopkinsville as a photographer's assistant. There he could be close to Gertrude and his family, and with those closest to him nearby it would not bother him so much that his condition was incurable. Sometimes he regretted the fact that he had never been able to finish school, becoming the doctor and preacher he had dreamed of, but he found comfort in his loved one and in the Bible and he became content with the idea of settling down with a wife and children.
The Experiments
During the first decade of the 1900's hypnotism and stage shows were experiencing a renewed revival in this country. One showman, who called himself "Hart, the Laugh King," brought his comedy and hypnotism act to the Hopkinsville Opera House. Although not a therapist, Hart had witnessed some interesting experiences with hypnosis. Somehow he heard about Edgar's laryngitis and offered to try an experiment in an attempt to help the young man. In the first session, Hart hypnotized Cayce and told him that he would be able to regain his voice. To the amazement of everyone present, Edgar responded to any question asked of him in a normal voice. However, he would not take a post-hypnotic suggestion, and the laryngitis returned when Hart awakened him. The experiment was repeated several times; each time, Edgar was able to speak normally in his sleep state. Nevertheless, when the young man was awakened, his soft-spoken whisper returned. Even when Hart had to leave Hopkinsville because of other commitments, Edgar's predicament was not forgotten. The local papers became excited about the case. Many people became convinced that somehow hypnotism was the cure to Cayce's problem. Knowing that some patients under hypnosis showed powers of clairvoyance, a New York specialist interested in the case advised the Cayce's to repeat the experiment but this time instead of suggesting that the young man's voice return, to ask Edgar himself to talk about his condition. His parents were against the idea. Ever since the first experiment with Hart, their son had lost weight. It appeared as though the sessions were a drain on his physical body. Gertrude let her fianc make the decision, for with or without his voice they could have a life together - and besides, Edgar rather liked working with photography. In the end, Edgar consented to one further test. A local man, Al Layne, was found who could give the hypnotic suggestions. Layne had educated himself. Not only had he worked with hypnotism, but he was familiar with osteopathy as well. Edgar offered to put himself to sleep - much as he had done when he had slept on his schoolbooks. Once he was asleep on the couch, Layne asked him to explain what was wrong with him and how he could be cured. And Cayce spoke back! While asleep, Edgar Cayce described his problem as a "psychological condition producing a physical effect." He went on to explain that the condition could be removed by suggesting to him while in the unconscious state that the blood circulation increase to the affected areas. After Layne made the suggestion, he and Cayce's family watched in amazement as the upper part of Edgar's chest and his throat turned a bright crimson red and the skin became warm to the touch. Twenty minutes passed before Edgar spoke again, stating that before Layne awakened him the suggestion should be made that the blood circulation return to normal. Layne followed the instructions. When Cayce finally awakened, he was able to speak normally for the first time in almost a year.
As his psychic reputation grew the request for readings continued and Edgar Cayce was faced with a problem. Although people were being helped by the readings, many were having difficulty finding doctors to carry out the treatments that were being recommended. Doctors seemed hesitant to follow the guidance of a sleeping psychic who, in many instances, had never even seen the people he was diagnosing. This situation led to Cayce's dream of a establishing a hospital, staffed with fully qualified doctors, nurses, and therapists, who would carry out the treatments recommended in the readings. Altantis one of Cayces visions In pursuit of money to finance his dream Cayce joined with a group in Texas who were seeking oil and wanted to use his talent to locate possible wells. Cayce was told very clearly in his readings that his talent was not for financial gain. Some of his partners did not share his dream of a hospital. They were only seeking money for themselves. In 1923, he hired a secretary, Gladys Davis, to take notes during readings while his wife Gertrude took notes from the readings. By this time his readings were limited to physical and medical problems but a former client asked Cayce for a horoscope reading. In the reading Cayce mentioned that the man was once a monk. This statement led to the research and readings that followed on past life and reincarnation There was no doubt that the information was helpful and accurate when dealing with health, but the readings matter-of-fact reference to reincarnation seemed foreign to his fundamental Christianity. He prayed about it, did much soul searching, and obtained a few readings. He was advised to read the Bible once through from cover to cover while keeping the idea of reincarnation in mind. The underlying philosophy that emerged was one that focused upon the oneness and the purposefulness of life. In time, Edgar Cayce found that the concept of reincarnation was not incompatible with any religion and actually merged perfectly with his own beliefs of what it meant to be a Christian. Soon afterwards, the "Life readings" were developed, dealing with an individual's previous lifetimes, as well as the person's potential and purpose in the present. In time, the topics in the readings were further expanded to include mental and spiritual counsel, philosophy and contemporary spirituality, meditation, dream interpretation, intuition, history and ancient civilizations and even advice for improving personal relationships. The Cayce family moved to Virginia Beach in September 1925. Gladys Davis was with the family and continued to work with Cayce as his secretary. They formed the Association for national Investigations in 1927. This organization was responsible for research and experiments using material obtained from the readings. The motto was That every man manifests our love for God and man. In 1928, the hospital opened its doors and people came from all around the country for treatment. Cayce gave each patient a reading. He had a professional staff composed of Doctors, nurses and therapists and his approach to treatment was based on utilizing the interdisciplinary team to meet the needs of each patient. Financing for the hospital could not withstand the Great Depression and in February 1931, Cayce had to close the hospital.
In June of 1931, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. (A.R.E.) was formed as a research body whose goal was to investigate and disseminate the information contained in Cayce's readings. This organization became interested in such things as holistic health care, the workings of ESP, meditation, spiritual healing, the importance of dreams, and the study of life after death. When individuals asked Edgar Cayce how they could become more psychic themselves he responded by saying that the goal should be to become more spiritual, "for psychic is of the soul." From Cayce's perspective as individuals became more spiritual, psychic ability would develop naturally. Rather than trying to find converts to the readings' philosophy, people were told that if they could incorporate information into their own religious and belief systems, enabling them to become better people, it could be a useful and positive experience; otherwise they were advised to leave the information alone.
Throughout his life, Edgar Cayce claimed no special abilities nor did he ever consider himself to be some kind of 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, tolerance for all people, and a compassion and understanding for every major religion in the world. www.edgarcayce.org - for pictures and documentation [This article is taken from Edgar Cayce's ESP: Who He Was, What He Said, and How it Came True, by Kevin J.
