Ebook: Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet

The New York Times once named Edgar Cayce "the most fascinating man in America." Despite having only an eighth-grade education, he was called on by world leaders (such as Woodrow Wilson), prominent scientists (such as Thomas Edison), and Hollywood producers to advise them on their most pressing problems. Treasure hunters, stockbrokers, and oilmen made millions of dollars from his talents, while he himself lived much of his life in poverty. And in a hypnotic trance so deep he was twice pronounced clinically dead, he diagnosed illnesses with astonishing accuracy and prescribed medical treatments that were years ahead of their time, curing people with life-threatening diseases.
Cayce was born to a family of tobacco farmers in rural Kentucky, and as a child he began having visions beyond waking reality. Although he had no idea where his powers of perception came from, through years of hardship and struggle he used his abilities to help others in need, offering invaluable medical and spiritual guidance. Even as he became famous for his sensational achievements, and fell in with the most influential people of his day.
Cayce never sought the limelight, and his greatest legacy may be the wisdom he left behind through the messages he brought from the "other side." Now. in this definitive biography.

The only author to have been granted unrestricted access to all of Cayce's letters and papers, Kirkpatrick has uncovered fascinating details about his work as a psychic, and is the first to crack the code of Cayce's trance readings to show how they were used by such prominent individuals as George Gershwin, Nelson Rockefeller, and Marilyn Monroe.
