Edgar Cayce

An American Prophet

De: Sidney D. Kirkpatrick

Narrado por: Stephen Graybill

A New York Times best-selling author and documentary filmmaker presents the definitive biography of Edgar Cayce, the father of the New Age and harbinger of alternative medicine - the mesmerizing story of a simple man with a complex gift.

Edgar Cayce Jr., born in 1877 in rural Kentucky and educated only through the eighth grade, was a man with special powers. Known as the "sleeping prophet", Cayce was an endless source of information. Awake, he had no knowledge of any of the subjects he discussed, but in a trance he prescribed medical treatments, predicted future world events, interpreted past lives (including the life of Jesus Christ), designed innovative technologies, wrote screenplays, spoke in foreign languages, and brought spiritual messages from the "other side." Although he never examined patients and often gave trance readings for people hundreds of miles away, his medical diagnoses were deemed to be correct nearly 90 percent of the time, and his predictions were often uncannily accurate.

The first researcher to have unlimited access to thousands of Cayce's documents, Sidney Kirkpatrick has written a fascinating, definitive biography of a humble man whose psychic work prefigured the New Age movement and the alternative-health movement and brought him a huge following.

Ordinary Man, Extraordinary Gift

This book will blow your mind…more than once. The fact that Cayce talked about leaky gut being the cause of psoriasis 100 years ago is absolutely astonishing. Doctors are just now beginning to understand how a healthy microbiome plays a crucial role in preventing disease and this info is still being debated and only truly accepted by functional medicine practitioners. He also mentioned OMAD (One Meal A Day) as optimal for health and nutrition long before it became currently popular in the longevity community. That and prescribing what is known as a Blue Zone diet shows that this man was a visionary… or had a little metaphysical help. All this makes one wonder what else was he saying that is true? Never before have I heard Christianity woven so well with Eastern religions. Cayce’s “gift” does so with such logical reasoning one wonders why they haven’t seen it before. Get the audiobook/book only if you’re mentally courageous enough to uncover the unknown.

Fascinating story, well read.

A fascinating biography of Edgar Cayce. He shows us the divinity in all of us and what we can do to help one another.

Fascinating!

I chose this book to learn about Edgar Cayce, whom I knew only a little about. This book is a complete biography to follow his entire lifetime. What an amazing human being! Even though this is a long listen, I found this the story of his life captivating throughout with excellent narration of the story.

An outstanding book!

Kirkpatrick does an amazing job in this book! He not only goes into great detail in reviewing Cayce's life history, but he gives a tremendous amount of information on the Readings. Outstanding!

fantastic and fun

Just when you think this story can't get any bizarre it totally does. pa-pow! Fun to listen to.

The advanced homeopathic treatment

Worth learning in this new century, and acknowledgment to stop and pause and set priorities.

The Final Chapter

I suggest reading "Many Mansions" by Dr. Gina Cerminara & "There is a River" by Thomas Sugrue first as introductions to the capabilities of the Trance Psychic/Healer Edgar Cayce.

Once you are then fully aware of Cayce's true capabilities, this book becomes far more interesting as it reveals the life story - both good & bad times - of the man with those attributes.

My point is that, if I had read this book first, I may have had difficulty getting past the first few chapters. But knowing who Cayce was made it worth the read, as it becomes more & more interesting the further one progresses through the book.

It is interesting to note just how many unscrupulous people - even the medical & legal establishments - tried to take advantage of Mr Cayce - something not emphasized in other Cayce works.

In summary I found it to be one of those books that I just "could not put down".

Enlightening

This book has been an eye opener for me. The reader does an incredible job with expression. the only downfall is the occasional scratch word but they did not present a problem for me.

Good story.

Good interesting story. Narrator is alittle mono tone. Sone parts of book get alittle long. Other than that very interesting. Worth reading.

Edgar Cayce revealed

Cayce’s health readings for countless individuals proved prophetic. He was a sleeping prophet because the information and wisdom provided clearly did not come from his own mind and mental abilities. Case in point was his poor management of both his health and financial understanding.

However many around him did profit from both in accordance with the readings and adherence.

I’m not convinced of his many past life reading for his friends and family.

But one thing I do concur is that people do incarnate as a whole group thus interactions and karmas can be worked out in those lifetimes. Rebirth is real and it’s a spiritual crime in my knowledge that it was removed from the Bible making Christianity one of the few major religions in the world to discard this wisdom and knowledge.
