Studying Edgar Cayce

I was recently nudged to check out Edgar Cayce. I suspect many on this forum know him and his works very well, but until now I have heard his name only in passing. So I started out by checking his Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce
There has apparently been written a lot by him and about him, but let's start there. It is clear that he worked as a medium, a reader, a channeler, a healer, a writer and was a devoted family man.

I want to underline first of all that I am not starting this thread to promote, recommend or embrace him and what he did. He lived in a different time and saw from a different, earlier, common understanding of things. But I think I am correct in calling him one of the grandfathers of modern spirituality, responsible for quite a bit of the wide popularity of spirituality today. He should be a more than worthy study object. Of what to do, and what not to do.

Second though.... based on what I have just read, I deeply admire Edgar Cayce as a person. He spent his entire life trying to help people, to stand upright while being ridiculed and face life hardships, to understand his gift and spread the message that there is more to life than the eye can see. That is a very honorable life lived, right there.

There is so much to poke into but I want to start with his ethic that he was not to earn money on his craft. Ever. Many wanted to earn money on him, then and later. I have heard the same from others, great spiritual helpers who refused pay their whole life. And of a few others who were great, until they started to cash in, and then the talent dwindled into nothing. I don't think is a moral thing for each of us to choose, but a standard the spirit world holds us to. All this world's talents for creativity, for art, for a million skills, is available for us to earn money on. All but this. I think, because it is not of this world.

One of my country's great healers passed away not long ago. Vast numbers of people had sought his help in his lifetime and he always gave if it was possible for him. He never asked for a cent. However on his outdoor wall there was a box people could put money in, and I think most did. Every time it was full he emptied it and gave the entire contents to iirc Red Cross. Instead he made his living from first regular work, and then as a church servant until he was pensioned.

On the aspect of money my personal opinion is that perhaps it need not be the utter decider. Do not churches receive a steady income? Do the priests work for free? I believe it is a matter how the money are asked for and how it is spent, rather than spiritual ruin because some money has moved. If I ever get to a place where people want to give me money for this craft, which is rather unlikely, then the passing on of the money to a good cause is what I want to do.
After all it is not a service sold (unless you ask for money up front and then all bets are off) but someone showing their gratification for what was done for them, and if that becomes a way to help someone else in turn then even the spirits seem to be happy.

Money means nothing to me,as long as i have enough to survive,that is enough.
I take most notice of those not asking for money,then you will not be scammed.

This is what i believe in,and is non negotiable.

Look at the treasures of the Vatican and so called esteemed leaders.Their wealth tells you the true story.

ps.......i admire Edgar cayce.

Hazard. Yes I totally agree with you.

White warrior. Many years ago I learnt of Edgar Cayce and did a lot of research about him. What an incredible human being. I am particularly impressed because he never charged anyone a cent as he said it was a gift from God. He was so poor that his wife had to sew newspapers into his coat as it was so threadbare, just to keep him warm.

I think he was about 98% accurate with his healings and some of his castor oil methods are still used today.

Some good books I would recommend are:

There is a river by Thomas Surgrue
The Sleeping Prophet by Jess Stearn. …if you can still get hold of one.

Then there is a book called The Oil that heals by Dr. William McGarey, MD.
This book is about a doctor who incorporated the castor packs into his practice because they were so effective and even prevented surgery. Great book!

Whenever I have some health issue, I always google his holistic medicine page and generally find an answer.

Yes I agree, it’s not a service to be sold. Once I see others charging mega dollars for their services, it just leaves me cold. Although I don’t have a problem with healers who ask for a donation. Then people can give whatever they can afford and probably feel better by giving something rather than just taking something. Most people be happy with this arrangement.

Well dang. I had to google that one and found it. I am not going to comment one word about the validity of it, I absolutely do not have the medical background, but it seems reasonable to include in the thread.

https://edgarcayce.org/resources/hol...alth-database/

That is just a part of what appears to be the official Edgar Cayce website. I have no idea of how correct or genuine it is, but then I have also not read a word of it yet. I'll have to spend some time going through the information offered there before making further comments.

Thanks Redchic, I will be peeking at the other suggestions too.

Next little Cayce fragment. Apparently he did his readings in various state of mind, from mildly meditative to hypnotically-induced 'sleep' which sounds like trances to me. I can relate to both. Somewhat. The first is what I do myself, which is pretty easy. The second troubles me. I am not a fan of trances as it could mean I am saying things I have no control over, and it could mean some other entity takes over that I have no control over whatsoever, saying good or bad things.
I have an experience there. Once when I was under full anesthetics for a major dental job, my dad was with me as having a follower was obligatory. I very clearly remember waking up, having dreamt I was in a conversation, and my dad was asking the dentist what I was saying. He said it wasn't uncommon for patients to speak while under the drugs but he didn't know what I said because it was in some foreign language.
Everyone in that room were fluent in English, which is my second language, so it must have been a third one. I speak some German and a few words in other languages. I never found out which, or what I had been saying. But I was not amused that I had been speaking without any control over what was said. So, I am not good with trances as a concept. Which is a bit inconvenient, as I somewhat follow the shaman path, and shamans use trance all the time. Evidently Cayce could do it all the time but at what cost?

I should add that Cayce apparently always had someone with him during the deep trances, presumably to keep him safe and sound as much as to record what was said. That's a luxury not all practitioners have, and must have been a great comfort to him.

I don't think he could recall the messages after waking up iirc.
I note he was worried about his advice ever hurting anyone,this type of fear worries me as it generally hinders people with great gifts who can benefit many especially when prescription drugs damage many -I have had many cures via herbalists and the Castor oil packs I have used for years on a chronic liver condition that I've had for about fifteen years and its function is still normal! (the GP told me prior to a scan'If the blood tests are OK,there will be nothing wrong with your liver')
You have done good with starting this thread WW,I think I will watch/listen to some of the recordings and post links when I am on the PC,the last link was broke on my phone though,looks like a password is needed.(I hope there is nothing wrong in this post as I sometimes get warned for diagnosing,but I often cannot see where I diagnosed-I do get very enthusiastic about the herbs that have helped me)

iirc = If I rem correctly.
--------------
This is a great a thread, imo, since many have never heard of Mr. Cayce.
I even considered moving to Virginia Beach (USA) to be closer to all the activities - lectures the A.R.E. has...
Association For Research and Enlightenment.
I was introduced to Hugh Lynn Cayce while he was visiting in San Antonio, Texas (USA). Ha, traveling with an old friend of mine.
What a gentle man. :) He did not have his father's gift, just an aside.

AND I'm happy because of this thread I'm getting another book of Mr. Cayce's on a health topic I need.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

I had heard of Edgar case many moons ago.someone in the Healing Sanctuary

I have even done it myself gave someone a message in their own Language.

Probably just a coincidence, but after I started this thread I glanced at the list of threads I have posted in. The counter is at... 1333. I'm not really into numerology but I googled none the less, and, well, found a bunch. Including this one on one website: "Spirituality Meaning of Angel Number 1333
The angel number 1333 also has a significant spiritual meaning. It's a sign that you're growing spiritually, and that you're on the right path to enlightenment. Your angels are guiding you to connect with your higher self and align with your life purpose. Furthermore, angel number 1333 is a reminder to listen to your intuition and trust in the divine guidance that is being offered to you. Your angels are encouraging you to develop your spiritual gifts and use them to help others. " It's a pretty funny coincidence, and relevant only to this thread because Cayce was into numerology. I wonder what his reading number 1333 was about. Anyways!
