My Life as a Seer: The Lost Memoirs

Edgar Cayce grew up in poverty and achieved only an eighth-grade education. By the time he was a teenager he was able to memorize an entire book simply by placing it near his head when he slept. As an adult, Cayce discovered that while in a trance he could diagnose illnesses. His medical readings, which were years ahead of their time, have been proven to be 90 percent accurate. His abilities helped him become a world-renowned psychic. Edgar Cayce was known as "The Sleeping Prophet" for his ability to put himself into a self-induced sleep state and respond to virtually any question, from minor health problems to world issues, with uncanny accuracy. A pioneer of holistic medicine and educational theory, he was responsible for many books including "Sex and the Spiritual Path", "Mysteries of Atlantis", "Soul Purpose" and "Awakening your Psychic Powers". He died in 1945.
