Edgar Cayce

I read some of his books years ago. I don't remember all of his prophecies because back then I was reading up on all sorts of this stuff. I was working for a medium and really got into the paranormal back in the 70's. Do I believe? hmmm. I never found any proof of anything one way or another.

I have read many books of Edgar Cayce. My introduction to his works began with Gina Cerminara's Many Mansions where many of his readings have been quoted and discussed. Impressed by his works I have bought some others where he has oulined techniques of studying past lives. Now, as Hindu I have not only no problem with the concept of karma and rebrth, unlike an average Hindu my interest in Karma and Rebirth are a lot more tha academic. For one thing here is one person whose utterances support the validation of the Theory of Karma as explaining the intangible Reality.Even though a Hindu is enjoined by his Scriptures to accept Karma and Rebirth as given within the ambit of which the other principles of living are carved. However the lay hindu follower is really not much bothered about verifying this Theory. For me personally, Cayce's work provided a verification technique for the theory. That is the greatest contribution of EC. About his being a Prophet I have no opinion. For within Hinduism, we do not call our religious greats as Prophets nor do theu have anything to do with prophesying. Our greats like Lord Krishna for instance or any of the Gurus like Shankaracharya elucidate on how a consistent and cogent path must be fashioned out of the various utterances in the Scriptures. Thus being a Prophet, is of least importance. I look up to Cayce as someone who has upheld the concept of Karma and the existence of many lifetimes for a person, and many details of the modes of operation of Karma have been clearly brought out by him. Of course there are differences. Whereas the Hindu Scriptures concentrate on the way out of Karma cycle, EC's work doesn't seem to provide this way.IN my understanding this has been left open.

I literally grew up knowing about Edgar Cayce due to my great-grandmother who was interested in paranormal and metaphysics. No doubt is was due to him that sparked my very early interest in the possibility of Atlantis existing....and like the other poster Pose...I too have read many books about him like "There is a River"---so far though none of his prophecies have come true though since his time frame was around the late 1970s and into the 1990s--such as evidence of Atlantis rising or being found, and also the Hall of Records which is supposed to be a library of the Atlanteans and stored somewhere in the Sphinx. But while none of his predictions have come about in the time frame he stated, still doesn't make me doubt him...look at the climate changes..he did predict them and we are having them now

Hi worldwise, I first came upon the Edgar Cayce story about forty years ago when I read 'There is a River',the biography of Edgar Cayce by Thomas Sugrue. Having had a belief in past lives for almost as long as I could remember, I felt that I had come home. I am totally convinced that Cayce was a great prophet as well as a real Christian who had a great love for Christ and his teachings, and judged nor condemned no one. The great work that this man did has proven over and over again that he was a true prophet.I have read many of the books written about him but have seen little reference to 2012. I know that he did not predict the end of the world. The fact that Cayce accepted no money for any of his work shows the kind of man that he was. There will of course, always be those who will spread lies and try to make him out to be something else but there is absolutely no proof but that Edgar Cayce was anything but a great prophet and one of the greatest men who have ever lived. Blessings.

I have read many of the books about him written by his son. I think he was a miracle. I do believe in prophets although I think that sometimes, as I do with the Bible, that they are interpreted incorrectly at times and so it makes it extremely hard to understand what the truth is. That doesn't mean the prophet is wrong.

Sorry to say, I never viewed Edgar Cayce as a prophet. I was more intrigued by his ability to heal people. The remarkable talent he had for searching a person's body and determining what was wrong with them. It was some 20 years ago that I began reading about Edgar Cayce. Once I was hooked, I read everything I could get my hands on. Sad to say, his influence came and went in my life. He was gifted. But again, in all that I read about him, I never thought of him as a prophet. He was a healer. Maybe if I re-read those same texts, I'll see what you all are seeing. Needless to say, the "sleeping prophet" worked some miracles!

I just watched a tv show about him now. He was amazing! I never had heard of him before. When thinking of prophets, I would always think of Nostradmous. Now I have to do more research on Edgar Cayce and get the book too.
