       About Edgar Cayce

      Edgar Cayce (pronounced KAY-see, the same as the English name Casey) was born on a farm near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, on March 18, 1877. As a child, he displayed unusual powers of perception. At the age of six, he told his parents that he could see and talk with “visions,” sometimes of relatives who had recently died, and on occasion he saw angels. He could also sleep with his head on his schoolbooks and awaken with a photographic recall of their contents, even citing the page number upon which the answer appeared. However, after completing seventh grade, he left school—which was not unusual for boys of his age at that time.

      When he was twenty-one, he developed a paralysis of the throat muscles that caused him to lose his voice. When doctors were unable to find a physical cause for this condition, Edgar Cayce asked an acquaintance to help him re-enter the same kind of hypnotic sleep that had enabled him to memorize his schoolbooks as a child. The friend gave him the necessary suggestions, and once he was in this trance-like state, Cayce spoke clearly and directly without any difficulty. He instructed the “hypnotist” to give him a suggestion to increase the blood flow to his throat; when the suggestion was given, Cayce’s throat turned blood red. Then, while still under hypnosis, Cayce recommended some specific medication and manipulative therapy that would aid in restoring his voice completely.

      On subsequent occasions, Cayce would go into the hypnotic state to diagnose bodily conditions and prescribe a course of action to restore health. Doctors around Hopkinsville СКАЧАТЬ
