Edgar Cayce Medium
1877 -1945
Edgar Cayce ; March 18,
1877 – January 3, 1945; was an American mystic who answered questions on
subjects as varied as healing, reincarnation, wars, Atlantis, and future
events while in a trance. A biographer gave him the nickname, "The Sleeping
Prophet." A non-profit organization, the Association for Research and
Enlightenment,[1] was founded to facilitate the study of Cayce's work. A
hospital and a university were also established.
Cayce is a well-documented psychic of the 20th
century. Hundreds of books have been written about him. Cayce's practice of
reading through the entire Bible each year was thought to give him the
insight to reconcile his Christian beliefs with the metaphysical information
provided while in trance, and some consider him the true founder and a
principal source of the most characteristic beliefs of the New Age
Movement.[2]
Cayce became a celebrity toward the end of his life,
and he believed the publicity given to his prophecies overshadowed the more
important parts of his work, such as healing the sick and studying religion.
Skeptics[3] challenge Cayce's alleged psychic abilities, and traditional
Christians also question his unorthodox answers on religious matters such as
reincarnation, and the Akashic records.
Early life.
Edgar Cayce was born on March 18, 1877, near Beverly,
south of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. He was one of six children of farmers
Leslie B. Cayce and Carrie Cayce.[4] A very spiritual child, he played with
the 'little folk' and sometimes 'saw' his deceased grandfather. He regarded
them all as incorporeal because he could see through them if he looked hard
enough. However, he found it very difficult to keep his mind on his lessons
at school.[5]
He was taken to church when he was 10, and from then
on he read the Bible, becoming engrossed, and completing a dozen readings by
the time he was 12. In May 1889, while reading the Bible in his hut in the
woods, he 'saw' a woman with wings who told him that his prayers were
answered, and asked him what he wanted most of all. He was frightened, but
he said that most of all he wanted to be helpful to others, especially sick
children. He decided he would like to be a missionary.[6]
The next night, after a complaint from the school
teacher, his father ruthlessly tested him for spelling, eventually knocking
him out of his chair with exasperation. At that point, Edgar 'heard' the
voice of the lady who had appeared yesterday. She told him that if he could
sleep a little 'they' could help him. He begged for a rest and put his head
on the spelling book. When his father came back into the room and woke him
up, he knew all the answers. In fact, he could repeat anything in the book.
His father thought he had been fooling before and knocked him out of the
chair again. Eventually, Edgar used all his school books that way.[7]
By 1892, the teacher regarded Edgar as his best
student. On being questioned, Edgar told the teacher that he saw pictures of
the pages in the books. His father became proud of this accomplishment and
spread it around, resulting in Edgar becoming "different" from his peers.[8]
Shortly after this, Edgar exhibited an ability to
diagnose in his sleep. He got struck on the base of the spine by a ball in a
school game, after which he began to act very strangely, and eventually was
put to bed. He went to sleep and diagnosed the cure, which his family
prepared and which cured him as he slept. His father boasted that his son
was, "the greatest fellow in the world when he's asleep."[9] However, this
ability was not demonstrated again for several years.[10]
Edgar's uncommon personality is also shown by an
unusual incident in which he rode a certain mule back to the farmhouse at
the end of a work day. This stunned everyone there, as the mule could not be
ridden. The owner, thinking it may be time to break the animal in again,
attempted to mount it but was immediately thrown off. Cayce left for his
family in the city that evening.[11]
Marriage and family.
Cayce became engaged to Gertrude Evans on March 14,
1897, and they married on June 17, 1903. They had three children: Hugh Lynn
Cayce (March 16, 1907- July 4, 1982), Milton Porter Cayce (March 28, 1911 -
May 17, 1911), and Edgar Evans Cayce (February 9, 1918- February 15,
2013).[4][12]
1877 to 1912: Kentucky period.
In December 1893, the Cayce family moved to
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and occupied 705 West Seventh on the southeast
corner of Seventh and Young Streets. During this time, Cayce received an
eighth-grade education, is said by the Association for Research and
Enlightenment to have developed psychic abilities,[13] and left the family
farm to pursue various forms of employment.
Cayce's education stopped in the ninth grade because
his family could not afford the costs involved.[14] A ninth-grade education
was often considered more than sufficient for working-class children. Much
of the remainder of Cayce's younger years would be characterized by a search
for both employment and money.
Throughout his life, Cayce was drawn to church as a
member of the Disciples of Christ. He read the Bible once a year every year,
taught at Sunday school,[15] and recruited missionaries. He said he could
see auras around people, spoke to angels, and heard voices of departed
relatives. In his early years, he agonized over whether these psychic
abilities were spiritually delivered from the highest source.
In 1900, Cayce formed a business partnership with his
father to sell Woodmen of the World Insurance; however, in March he was
struck by severe laryngitis that resulted in a complete loss of speech.[14]
Unable to work, he lived at home with his parents for almost a year. He then
decided to take up the trade of photography, an occupation that would exert
less strain on his voice. He began an apprenticeship at the photography
studio of W.R. Bowles in Hopkinsville, and eventually became quite talented
in his trade.[16]
In 1901, a travelling stage hypnotist and entertainer
named Hart, who referred to himself as "The Laugh Man," was performing at
the Hopkinsville Opera House. Hart heard about Cayce's condition and offered
to attempt a cure. Cayce accepted his offer, and the experiment was
conducted in the office of Dr. Manning Brown, the local throat specialist.
Cayce's voice allegedly returned while in a hypnotic trance but disappeared
on awakening. Hart tried a posthypnotic suggestion that the voice would
continue to function after the trance, but this proved unsuccessful.[17][18]
Hart had appointments at other cities, but admitted
he had failed because Cayce would not go into the third stage of hypnosis to
take a suggestion. A New York hypnotist, Dr Quackenboss, found the same
impediment but, after returning to New York, suggested that Cayce should be
prompted to take over his own case while in the second stage of hypnosis.
The only local hypnotist, Al Layne, offered to help Cayce restore his
voice.[19] Layne suggested that Cayce describe the nature of his condition
and cure while in a hypnotic trance.[17] Cayce described his own ailment
from a first-person plural point of view: "we" instead of the singular
"I."[17] In subsequent sessions, when Cayce wanted to indicate that the
connection was made to the "entity" of the person that was requesting the
reading, he would generally start off with, "We have the body." According to
the reading for the "entity" of Cayce, his voice loss was due to
psychological paralysis, and could be corrected by increasing the blood flow
to the voice box. Layne suggested that the blood flow be increased and
Cayce's face supposedly became flushed with blood, and both his chest and
throat turned bright red.[17] After 20 minutes, Cayce, still in a trance,
declared the treatment over. On awakening, his voice was alleged to have
remained normal. Apparently, relapses occurred, but were said to have been
corrected by Layne in the same way, and eventually the cure was said to be
permanent.
Layne had read of similar hypnotic cures by the
Marquis de Puysegur, a follower of Franz Mesmer, and was keen to explore the
limits of the healing knowledge involved with the trance voice.[20] He asked
Cayce to describe Layne's own ailments and suggest cures, and reportedly
found the results both accurate and effective. Layne suggested that Cayce
offer his trance healing to the public. Cayce was reluctant, but he finally
agreed, on the condition that readings would be free. He began, with Layne's
help, to offer free treatments to the townspeople. Reports of Cayce's work
appeared in the newspapers, which inspired many postal inquiries.[20] Cayce
stated he could work just as effectively using a letter from the individual
as with the person being present in the room. Given only the person's name
and location, Cayce said he could diagnose the physical and mental
conditions of what he termed "the entity," and then provide a remedy. Cayce
soon became famous, and people from around the world sought his advice
through correspondence.
1912 to 1925: Selma, Alabama period.

lived and worked from 1912 to 1923.
Cayce's work grew in volume as his fame grew. He
asked for voluntary donations to support himself and his family so that he
could practice full-time. To help raise money he invented "Pit", a card game
based on the commodities trading at the Chicago Board of Trade, and the game
is still sold today. He continued to work in an apparent trance state with a
hypnotist all his life. His wife and eldest son later replaced Layne in this
role. A secretary, Gladys Davis, recorded his readings in shorthand.[20]
The growing fame of Cayce along with the popularity
he received from newspapers attracted several eager commercially minded men
who wanted to seek a fortune by using Cayce's clairvoyant abilities. Even
though Cayce was reluctant to help them, he was persuaded to give his
readings, which left him dissatisfied with himself and unsuccessful. A
cotton merchant offered Cayce a hundred dollars a day for his readings about
the daily outcomes in the cotton market; however, despite his poor finances,
Cayce refused the merchant's offer.[21] Some wanted to know where to hunt
for treasures while others wanted to know the outcome of horse races.[22]
Several times he was persuaded to give such readings as an experiment.
However, when he used his ability for such purposes, he did no better than
chance alone would dictate. These experiments allegedly left him depleted of
energy, distraught, and unsatisfied with himself. Finally, he decided to use
his gift only to help the distressed and sick.[20]
In 1923, Arthur Lammers, a wealthy printer and
student of metaphysics, persuaded Cayce to give readings on philosophical
subjects.[23] Cayce was told by Lammers that, while in his trance state, he
spoke of Lammers' past lives and of reincarnation, something Lammers
believed in. Reincarnation was a popular subject of the day but not an
accepted part of Christian doctrine. Because of this, Cayce questioned his
stenographer about what he said in his trance state and remained
unconvinced. He challenged Lammers' charge that he had validated astrology
and reincarnation in the following dialogue:
Cayce: I said all that?... I couldn't have said all
that in one reading. Lammers: No. But you confirmed it. You see, I have been
studying metaphysics for years, and I was able by a few questions, by the
facts you gave, to check what is right and what is wrong with a whole lot of
the stuff I've been reading. The important thing is that the basic system
which runs through all the mystery religions, whether they come from Tibet
or the pyramids of Egypt, is backed up by you. It's actually the right
system.[24]
Cayce's stenographer recorded the following:
In this we see the plan of development of those
individuals set upon this plane, meaning the ability to enter again into the
presence of the Creator and become a full part of that creation. Insofar as
this entity is concerned, this is the third appearance on this plane, and
before this one, as the monk. We see glimpses in the life of the entity now
as were shown in the monk, in this mode of living. The body is only the
vehicle ever of that spirit and soul that waft through all times and ever
remain the same.
Cayce was quite unconvinced that he had been
referring to the doctrine of reincarnation, and the best Lammers could offer
was that the reading "opens up the door" and to go on to share his beliefs
and knowledge with Cayce.[25] Lammers had come to him with quite a bit of
information of his own to share with Cayce and seemed intent upon convincing
Cayce now that he felt the reading had confirmed his strongly-held
beliefs.[26] It should be noted, however, that 12 years earlier Cayce had
briefly alluded to reincarnation. In reading 4841-1, given April 22, 1911,
Cayce referred to the soul being "transmigrated". Because Cayce's readings
were not systematically recorded until 1923, it is possible that he may have
mentioned reincarnation in other earlier readings.
Cayce reported that his conscience bothered him
severely over this conflict. His readings of reincarnations were going
against his biblical teachings and at one point he wanted to cease his
channelling sessions. Once again Cayce lost his voice and in a reading for
himself he was informed if Cayce was no longer going to be a channel, his
mission in this life was complete. Ultimately his trance voice, the "we" of
the readings, dialogued with Cayce and finally persuaded him to continue
with these kinds of readings.[27] It was at this time Cayce directed his
activities to provide readings centred around health. The remedies that were
channelled often involved the use of unusual electrotherapy, ultraviolet
light, diet, massage, gemstones, less mental work and more relaxation in
sand on the beach. His remedies were coming under the scrutiny of the
American Medical Association and Cayce felt that it was time to legitimize
the operations with the aid of licensed medical practitioners. In 1925 Cayce
reported while in a trance, "the voice" had instructed him to move to
Virginia Beach, Virginia[28] across the street from the beach. He was
informed that the sand's crystals would have curative properties to promote
rapid healing.
1925 to 1945: Virginia Beach period.
The
Cayce Hospital 2006
Cayce's mature period, in which he created the
several institutions that would survive him, can be considered to have
started in 1925. By this time he was a professional psychic with a small
staff of employees and volunteers.[29] The readings increasingly came to
involve occult or esoteric themes.[30]
In 1929 the Cayce hospital was established in
Virginia Beach, sponsored by a Morton Blumenthall, a recipient of the trance
readings. Blumenthall was a wealthy New York stockbroker who had the most
extensive readings with Cayce, some 468. He is said to have made
considerable gains through insights into the stock market's futures until it
crashed that year. This event caused Blumenthall to withdraw his funding and
the hospital eventually closed its doors shortly after.
The depression years saw Cayce turn his attention to
spiritual teachings. In 1931, Edgar Cayce's friends and family asked him how
they could become psychic like him. Out of this seemingly simple question
came an eleven-year discourse that led to the creation of "Study Groups".
From his altered state, Cayce relayed to this group that the purpose of life
is not to become psychic, but to become a more spiritually aware and loving
person. Study Group #1 was told that they could "bring light to a waiting
world" and that these lessons would still be studied a hundred years into
the future. The readings were now about dreams, coincidence (synchronicity),
developing intuition, karma, the akashic records, astrology, past-life
relationships, soul mates and other esoteric subjects. Hundreds of books
have been published about these readings.
Cayce gained national prominence in 1943 after the
publication of a high-profile article in the magazine Coronet titled
"Miracle Man of Virginia Beach".[29] World War II was taking its toll on
American soldiers and he felt he could not refuse the families who requested
help for their loved ones that were missing in action. He increased the
frequency of his readings to eight per day to try to make an impression on
the ever-growing pile of requests. He said this took a toll on his health as
it was emotionally draining and often fatigued him. The readings themselves
scolded him for attempting too much and that he should limit his workload to
just two life readings a day or else these good efforts would eventually
kill him.[31]
Edgar Cayce suffered a stroke at the age of 67, in September 1944, and died on January 3, 1945.[32] He is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.[33]
Reputation for psychic abilities.
Cayce has variously been referred to as a "prophet"
(cf. Jess Stearn's book, The Sleeping Prophet), a "mystic" and a "seer".
While giving a reading for a seeker, he at times referred to consulting the
Akashic Record (the etheric imprint) of that soul's experience. The only
biography written during Cayce's lifetime was There is a River by Thomas
Joseph Sugrue.
Cayce's methods involved lying down and entering into
a sleep state, usually at the request of a subject who was seeking help with
health or other personal problems. Subjects would not normally be present,
and their questions would be given to Cayce, who would then proceed with a
reading. Initial readings dealt primarily with the physical health of the
individual; later readings might be given on past lives, business advice,
dream interpretation, and mental or spiritual health.
Until September 1923, his readings were not
systematically recorded or preserved. However, an article published in the
Birmingham Post-Herald on October 10, 1922, quotes Cayce as saying that he
had given 8,056 readings as of that date and it is known that he gave
approximately 13,000–14,000 readings after that date. Today, a total of
14,306 are available at A.R.E. Cayce headquarters in Va. Beach and an online
member-only section along with background information, correspondence, and
follow-up documentation.[34]
When out of the trance, Cayce would not remember what
he had said during the reading. The unconscious mind, according to Cayce,
has access to information that the conscious mind does not—a common
assumption about hypnosis in Cayce's time. After Gladys Davis became Cayce's
secretary on September 10, 1923, all readings were preserved and his wife,
Gertrude Evans Cayce, generally guided the readings.
Cayce said that his trance statements should be taken
into account only to the extent that they led to a better life for the
recipient. Moreover, he invited his subjects to test his suggestions rather
than accept them on faith.
Other abilities that have been attributed to Cayce
include astral projection, prophesying, mediumship, viewing the Akashic
Records or "Book of Life", and seeing auras. Cayce said he became interested
in learning more about these subjects after he was informed about the
content of his readings, which he reported that he never actually heard
himself.[35]
Supporters
Cayce's clients included a number of famous people
such as Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Edison, Irving Berlin, and George
Gershwin.[36]
Gina Cerminara published books such as Many Mansions
and The World Within. Brian Weiss published a bestseller regarding clinical
recollection of past lives, Many Lives, Many Masters. These books provide
broad support for spiritualism and reincarnation. Many Mansions elaborates
on Cayce's work and supports his stated abilities with real life examples.
This is an example from Gina Cerminara:[37]
Cayce once gave a reading on a blind man, a musician
by profession, who regained part of his vision in one eye through following
the physical suggestions given by Cayce. This man happened to have a passion
for railroads and a tremendous interest in the Civil War. In the life
reading Cayce gave, he said that the man had been a soldier in the South, in
the army of Lee, and that he had been a railroad man by profession in that
incarnation. Then he proceeded to tell him that his name in that life was
Barnett Seay, and that the records of Seay could still be found in the state
of Virginia. The man took the trouble to hunt for the records and found them
in the state capitol at Richmond: that is to say he found the record of one
Barnett Seay, standard-bearer in Lee's army who had entered and been
discharged from the service in such and such a year.
The Dictionary of American Religious Biography writes
about Cayce:[15]
As a humble individual full of self-doubts, Cayce
never profited from his mystic gift. He read the Bible every day, taught
Sunday School, and helped others only when asked. Many did ask, and over the
years he produced readings that diagnosed health problems, prescribed
dietary regimens, dealt with psychic disorders, and predicted future events
such as wars, earthquakes, and changes in governments. He spoke, moreover,
of reincarnations, the early history of Israel, and the lost civilization of
Atlantis. Enough of his diagnoses and predictions proved true to silence
many skeptics and to develop a wide following.
Controversy
Cayce advocated some controversial and eccentric
ideas from his trance readings. In many trance sessions, he reinterpreted
the history of life on Earth. One of Cayce's controversial claims was that
of polygenism. According to Cayce, five human races (white, black, red,
brown, and yellow) had been created separately but simultaneously on
different parts of the Earth. Cayce also accepted the existence of aliens
and Atlantis, and claimed that "the red race developed in Atlantis and its
development was rapid." Another claim by Cayce was that "soul-entities" on
Earth intermingled with animals to produce "things": giants that were as
much as twelve feet tall.[38]
Historian Olav Hammer wrote that many of Cayce's
readings discussed race and skin color and that the explanation for this is
that Cayce was not a racist but was influenced by the occult ideas of Madame
Blavatsky.[39] Cayce declared the Piltdown man to be genuine, claiming he
was an Atlantean colonizer who had travelled to Britain. However, the
Piltdown man was exposed as a hoax in 1953.[40]
Philosopher and skeptic Robert Todd Carroll, in his
book The Skeptic's Dictionary, wrote, "Cayce is one of the main people
responsible for some of the sillier notions about Atlantis." Carroll
mentioned some of Cayce's notions, including his belief in a giant solar
crystal, activated by the sun, and used to harness energy and provide power
on Atlantis, and his prediction that in 1958, the United States would
rediscover a death ray that had been used on Atlantis.[41]
Criticism
Skeptics say that the evidence for Cayce's powers
comes from contemporaneous newspaper articles, affidavits, anecdotes,
testimonials, and books. Martin Gardner, for example, wrote that while
Cayce's trances did happen, most of the information from his trances was
derived from books that Cayce had been reading by authors such as Carl Jung,
P. D. Ouspensky, and Helena Blavatsky. Gardner's hypothesis was that the
trance readings of Cayce contain, "little bits of information gleaned from
here and there in the occult literature, spiced with occasional novelties
from Cayce's unconscious."[42]
Skeptics are also critical of Cayce's support for
various forms of alternative medicine, which they regard as quackery.[43]
Michael Shermer writes in Why People Believe Weird Things, "Uneducated
beyond the ninth grade, Cayce acquired his broad knowledge through voracious
reading and from this he wove elaborate tales."[44] Shermer wrote that,
"Cayce was fantasy-prone from his youth, often talking with angels and
receiving visions of his dead grandfather." James Randi has said that "Cayce
was fond of expressions like 'I feel that' and 'perhaps'--qualifying words
used to avoid positive declarations." Examination of the readings do not
show qualifying terms.[45]
Skeptical investigator Joe Nickell has noted:
Although Cayce was never subjected to proper testing,
ESP pioneer Dr. Joseph B. Rhine of Duke University -- who should have been
sympathetic to Cayce's claims -- was unimpressed. A reading that Cayce gave
for Rhine's daughter was notably inaccurate. Frequently, Cayce was even
wider off the mark, as when he provided diagnoses of subjects who had died
since the letters requesting the readings were sent.[46]
Science writer Karen Stollznow has written:
The reality is that his cures were hearsay and his
treatments were folk remedies that were useless at best and dangerous at
worse... Cayce wasn't able to cure his own cousin, or his own son who died
as a baby. Many of Cayce's readings took place after the patient had already
died.[47]
Biblical Christians are critical[48] of Cayce's views
on issues such as reincarnation,[49] oneness,[50] and the Akashic
records.[51]
