The Sleeping Prophet

In my studies, I have stumbled upon the readings of the "Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce. Cayce was born in a small town in Kentucky, thus his humble origins paint him not as a new age leader, but simply a "seer" with access to vast arrays of knowledge.

Wikipedia gives this introduction:
"Edgar Evans Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) (pronounced /ˈkeɪsiː/) was an American who was allegedly psychic. He is said to have demonstrated an ability to channel answers to questions on subjects such as health or Atlantis, while in a self-induced trance. Though Cayce considered himself a devout Christian and lived before the emergence of the New Age Movement, some believe he was the founder of the movement and had influence on its teachings."

What lead me to his 14,400 documented readings, compiled in 50,000 pages, was those readings that spoke of the Lost City of Atlantis. There are about 700 mentions of Atlantis in his readings. He speaks of volumes of information hidden in three locations ("Hall of Records") and the use of crystals by the Atlantians. Because information, health, and energy are at the forefront of our culture, Edgar Cayce's words are priceless and timely. Here's a quote from an interview I had the privilege of hearing.

"Cayce believed Atlantis was a large empire that stretched from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Gulf of Mexico. Its inhabitants were able to generate electricity by focusing the sun's rays through crystals, and had flying machines, elevators, submarines, and hi-tech houses." Says Dr. Greg Little an Edgar Cayce expert.

Dr. Little also speculated that the Bermuda Triangle anomalies might be due to the crystals that the Atlantians used and abused. The discovery of the Bimini road and other discoveries in the area of the Bahamas has led many to begin to look at Cayce again with fresh eyes. Another discovery is a room under the Sphinx in Egypt, under the right paw precisely where the sleeping American prophet said it was. This location is more than likely one of the 'Halls of Records' were Cayce says 32 stone tablets tell the story of creation until Atlantis. The fall of Atlantis, says Cayce, was due to the culture departing from the connection to the divine. This destruction happened 3 times. Once, about 52,ooo years ago, again in 28,000 BC, and the last time at 10,000 BC.

Currently, the correct diagnosis and prognosis of many types of health problems has given life to the work and study of Cayce's trances and recorded words. Scientific statistical analysis has been done to find that at least 83-88% of everything Cayce said is accurate. The missing 12-17% is due to two things: first, people not following his advice after the readings, not error on Cayce's part; and secondly, some of the information and prophecy has yet to play out. Leaving a lingering question, what did Cayce tap into? He clearly didn't make this stuff up, in fact once waking from a trance Edgar didn't even remember the reading.

Most of what I know about Edgar Cayce, I found at the A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment) Here is the Link: http://www.edgarcayce.org/
