The twelve books which have been written about Edgar Cayce have totaled more than five million in sales. Many 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 through whose eyes you look at him. A goodly number of his -confemporaries-knew the “waking” Edgar Cayce as a_gilted professional photographer. er group pecscmuipaatly_ children) aaited fim as ‘a warm and friendly Sunday School teacher. His own ‘im as a wonde: and-father.———— e Was-an entirely different i 2 k jousands of people, in all walks of life, who had cause to be grateful for his help. In- deed, many of them believed that he alone had either their-tives when -all-seemed lost. The eeping” Edgar Cayce was a medical diagnostician, a rophet, and a deve jonent-of Bible lore; — . ee nrdune- 19s4—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 writer referred to him as a “religious seer.” In that same year, the children’s comic book House of Mystery bestowed on him the im- pressive title of “America’s Most Mysterious Man!” Even as a child, on a farm near Hopkinsville, Ken- tucky, where he was born on March 18, 1877, Edgar Cayce displayed powers of perception which seemed to ex- tend beyond the normal range of the five senses. At the age of six or seven he told his parents that he was able to see and talk to “visions,” sometimes of relatives who had recently died. His parents attributed this to the overactive imagination of a lonely child who had been influenced by the dramatic language of the revival meetings which were popular in that section of the country. Later, by sleeping with his head on his schoolbooks, he developed some form wf of photographic memory which helped him advance rapidly in the country school. This gift faded, however, and Edgar was only able to complete his seventh grade before he had to seek his own place in the world. By the age of twenty-one he had become the salesman for a wholesale stationery company. At this time he developed a gradual paralysis of the throat muscles which threatened the loss of his voice. When doctors were unable to find a physical cause for this condition, hypnosis was tried, but failed to have any permanent effect. As a last resort, Edgar asked a friend to help him re-enter the same kind of hypnotic sleep that had enabled him to memorize his schoolbooks as a child. His friend gave him the necessary suggestion, and once he was in a self-induced trance, Edgar came to grips with his own problem. He recommended medication and manipulative therapy which successfully restored his voice and repaired his system. A group of physicians from Hopkinsville and Bowling Green, Kentucky, took advantage of his unique talent to diagnose their own patients. They soon discovered that Cayce only needed to be given the name and address of a patient, wherever he was, to be able to tune in telepathically on that individual’s mind and body as easily as if they were both in the same room. He needed, and was given, no other information regarding any patient. One of the young M.D.’s, Dr. Wesley Ketchum, submit- ted a report on this unorthodox procedure to a clinical research society in Boston. On October 9, 1910, The New York Times carried two pages of headlines and pic- tures. From that day on, troubled people from all over the country sought help from the “wonder man.” When Edgar Cayce died on January 3, 1945, in Vir- ginia Beach, Virginia, he left well over 14,000 documented stenographic records of the telepathic-clairvoyant state- ments he had given for more than six thousand different people over a period of forty-three years. These docu- ments are referred to as “readings.” The readings constitute one of the largest and most im- pressive records of psychic perception ever to emanate from a single individual, Together with their relevent records, correspondence and reports, they have been cross-indexed under thousands of subject headings and 8
