Ebook: The Edgar Cayce reader. / v.1.

This unique, comprehensive volume is a remarkable demonstration of the wide range of Edgar Cayce’s life’s work.

For the first time in one book, Edgar Cayce’s insights are offered on a number of consistently fascinating topics: Karma, psychoanalysis, automatic writing, telepathy, out-of-body travel, reincarnation, to name just a few.

The interpretation of Edgar Cayce’s thoughts on these topics are absolutely authentic, having been written by writers who have long studied the Cayce Readings and who have been approved by the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach, Va,

For the many hundreds of thousands of people who have become intrigued with, and who have benefited from, Edgar Cayce, this book will be a basic, invaluable addition to their Cayce reference library.

The almost fifteen thousand telepathic-clairvoyant readings of the late Edgar Cayce include material on an exceptionally wide variety of subjects. While in general it falls into the categories of mental, physical, and spiritual, the research breaks down into studies in the fields of psychology, parapsychology, philosophy, religion, history, pre-history, and medicine. The A.R.E. Journal, the quarterly publication of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, brings to its readers articles based on careful research into the Cayce records, as well as studies which correlate with those data. THE EDGAR CAYCE READER presents some of the articles previously published in the Journal as a sampling of the research being done and as an illustration of the broad scope of the information in these records.
WHO WAS EDGAR CAYCE?
The ten books which have been written about him have totaled more than a million in sales, and more than ten other books have devoted sections to his life and talents. He has been featured in dozens of magazines and hundreds of newspaper articles dating from 1900 to the present. What was so unique about him?
It depends on whose eyes you look at him through. A goodly number of his contemporaries knew the "waking" Edgar Cayce as a gifted professional photographer. Others (predominantly children) admired him as a warm and friendly Sunday School teacher. His own family knew him as a wonderful husband and father.
The "sleeping" Edgar Cayce was an entirely different figure; a psychic known to thousands of people, in all walks of life, who had cause to be grateful for his help; indeed, many of them believe that he alone had either saved or changed their lives when all seemed lost. The "sleeping" Edgar Cayce was a medical diagnostician, a prophet, and a devoted proponent of Bible lore.
In June, 1954, the University of Chicago held him in sufficient respect to accept a Ph.D. thesis based on a study of his life and work: in this thesis the graduate referred to him as a "religious seer." In June of that same year, the children's comic book House of Mystery bestowed on him the impressive title of "America's Most Mysterious Man!"
