“The purpose in life, then, is not the gratifying of appetites nor of any selfish desires, but it is that the individual, the soul, may make the earth a better place in which to live.”  Edgar Cayce Reading #4047-2Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.

Who Was Edgar Cayce?

Edgar Cayce - The Sleeping ProphetFor most of his adult life, Edgar Cayce was able to provide insights into nearly any question imaginable. When individuals came to him with a question, he would place himself into a self-induced sleep state. While in that state he could respond to virtually any question asked. His responses have come to be called "readings". Today his psychic readings constitute one of the largest and most impressive records of intuitive information to emanate from a single individual. Cayce maintained that everyone could access the "source" of information, as he did.

Cayce was born on a farm near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. At an early age he gave evidence of his budding talent: he was able to master his school lessons by sleeping on his books. At the age of twenty-one he developed a gradual throat paralysis which threatened the loss of his voice. When doctors were unable to find a cause for his condition, Cayce entered the same hypnotic sleep that had enabled him to learn his school lessons years before. In that state, he was able to recommend a cure which successfully repaired his throat muscles and restored his voice. It was soon discovered that he could do the same for others.

For several decades, Cayce gave (on average) two readings a day, mostly for people asking questions about their work, relationships, health, dreams, or future plans. For many years the information dealt mainly with medical problems. Eventually the scope of his readings expanded. Cayce would eventually give over 14,000 readings on more than 10,000 different topics to people all over the world. The transcripts of these readings have provided the basis for over 300 popular books about Cayce's work. They continue to be researched and written about over half a century after his death and are available on CD ROM or online to members of the A.R.E.
