description: Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) was a documented psychic who was active roughly from 1925 to 1945. Edgar Cayce was a remarkable individual with a unique blend of psychic abilities, healing powers, and spiritual insights. His work challenged conventional medical approaches and highlighted the importance of alternative healing methods. His views on spirituality emphasize the interconnectedness of the physical and spiritual realms, the importance of meaning, and the creative power of spirit.
Edgar Cayce's Healing Work:
The Dietrich Child Case: This case made Cayce famous. A six-year-old girl, Aimee Dietrich, suffered from severe epilepsy. Doctors considered her case hopeless. Cayce, through a trance reading, diagnosed the cause as a spinal injury and infection. He prescribed osteopathic manipulations, leading to Aimee's remarkable recovery.
Curing Epilepsy: Cayce successfully cured eight people of epilepsy, a remarkable feat considering the lack of effective medications at the time. The document contrasts this with the challenges of treating epilepsy today, where medication can control seizures in only 70% of cases.
Cayce's Approach: Cayce's methods involved a combination of trance readings, osteopathic manipulations, and dietary recommendations. His success in treating epilepsy highlights the potential of alternative approaches to healing.
Edgar Cayce's Legacy:
The Sleeping Prophet: Cayce became known as the "Sleeping Prophet" for his ability to provide answers to questions about the past, future, and health while in a trance. His readings were recorded by his secretary, Gladys Davis.
The Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE): Cayce's work led to the founding of ARE, an organization dedicated to exploring spirituality and healing.
In Search of God: Cayce's book, "In Search of God," is a key text for ARE study groups. It offers a unique perspective on God and spirituality.
At the request of the father, Edgar Cayce went to the home of the Dietrich's on December 12, 1902, and gave a "reading" while in a trance. "When he awakened, Mrs. Dietrich was weeping." (p. 177 river) Edgar Cayce's reading indicated that just before she caught the grippe, she had "slipped and struck the end of her spine while getting out of the carriage," and the infection had settled in her spine causing the seizures. While for the most part the causes of epilepsy are largely unknown, one of the specific causes listed is infections of the spine. Developed countries have more incidence of epilepsy and it is believed traumatic injuries and infection are the reason.
