Edgar Cayce : The Sleeping Prophet

Summary: Very Puzzling life and book, successful cures from trance?
Review: Jess Stearn's style of writing may tend to be a tad sensationalistic, but he certainly makes you think. Especially now that it is l998, reading Ch. 3 on earth changes can be a bit chilling. I love the book because it set me on the spiritual path with both feet. Edgar Cayce, the greatest prophet of our century, the Father of Wholistic Medicine and simple man with a great heart and a cosmic mind, will be a truly "real character" for you, by the time you finish this remarkable book. Thanks Jess for making him so accessible!

Review: One has to consider the time this occurred and the level of education of Edgar Cayce. He was incredible and I find it sad that people reading it today are unable to grasp the importance of his work. I think this is a book all thinking people should read and understand in context. If a reader is too literally minded or unwilling to accept the possibility of miracles then (s)he should read something else.

Review: The story of Edgar Cayce and other people with parapsychological ability is a most compelling and interesting phenomenon of mental capacity. That some people have this type of psychic ability demonstrates the vast power and perception of the human mind that warrants investigation. That this type of phenomena doesn't necessarily "fit" into mainstream psychological study causes severe conflict with generally accepted mainstream beliefs about the workings of the mind. As a consequence, the field of orthodox study tends to put people like Cayce into the catagory of fakes and charletans, at worst, and to ignore them at best. The study of this type of psychic phenomenon would go far in explaining the unknown regions of the mind. Scientific discovery necessitates following examples that are exceptions to the general rule. People with parapsychological powers ala Cayce provide great opportunity to track the great uncharted regions of the human psyche.
