Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce, An American Prophet details the life of a man of extra-ordinary powers. This book by Sidney Kirkpatrick is filled with the amazing life of an amazing man.
Edgar Cayce, born to a poor family of tobacco farmers, developed extra-ordinary powers early in life. He would often talk to spirits that no one else could see, and also developed a keen interest in the Bible. However, most incredible were the feats Cayce accomplished while in trance. When in trance, the normal Cayce would give way to another being called The Source. When asked questions, the source would be able to answer anything with incredible accuracy, but only if the intentions of the question were honorable. Cayce's amazing powers were initially only used to find cures for sick people, with great success as long as the exact instructions from the source were followed. Later during Cayce's career, people tried to use his powers to find oil and buried treasure, but to no avail. Eventually, readings (as they were called) were done on such diverse subjects as inventions, reincarnation, Atlantis, and the life of Christ. Although Cayce did many things, one common theme was always present. He always needed to use his gift to benefit people with the right intentions.
This fascinating biography is an essential read for anyone interested in the mysterious ways of the world.
