Edgar Cayce the Sleeping Prophet and his Powerful Connection to the Akashic Records

Edgar Cayce was a famous Akashic Records Reader

Good morning, all. It’s been an interesting time energetically.  Black Friday can be tough emotionally for many sensitive people.

Hopefully, Cyber Monday will treat me better!

So, in the holiday period, I focused on some enjoyable spiritual study instead.

Amongst other things, I watched this story of Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet

I watched a 45-minute biography on A&E about Edgar Cayce.  It’s well worth a look if you have time over the holiday season.

Watching this program was a reminder that we are in a new spiritual time.   In this Akashic Age, (people like us) might still be derided, but hopefully not threatened with imprisonment like Edgar Cayce.

Edgar Cayce’s young life

Edgar Cayce didn’t wake up one day and say, “I’ll be an Akashic Records Reader”. Like most of us in this community, he found himself on a journey of spiritual enlightenment from a very young age.

As a young child, he was in the unfortunate position of watching his grandfather transition.  His grandfather passed away in an unusual riding accident.

Once his grandfather had passed, he often experienced visits from his grandfather’s spirit and shared these experiences with his family.

As a spiritually connected child, Edgar vowed to read the Holy Bible every year of his life.  He kept this practice up for a long time.

He was never a focused student at his small one-room school.   One day, after struggling with math at home with his father (I can relate), he took a short nap on his math book.  When he woke up, he discovered that he could remember the contents extremely well.

After that, he regularly used this method to study.  He was able to recall information perfectly after sleeping on books, even learning the entire content of a sales catalog so he could work in a furniture store.

How Edgar Cayce became the Sleeping Prophet

Edgar Cayce tried various forms of work, needing to support his wife, Gertrude, and their growing family.

After several tries at different types of work, he discovered he had a talent for photography. He ran several different studios throughout his life, and struggled with bankruptcy when two of them burned down.

Trying to work in sales jobs with his father, he developed a throat problem after an illness, which stayed around for at least a year.

He then met a local hypnotist who offered him a hypnosis session to try to clear his throat problem, since at times he could barely talk.

Edgar tried hypnosis because of an illness

Hypnosis as a medical treatment was new at that time, but Edgar Cayce decided to try.

The first time he was put under hypnosis, he went into a deep trance and described the condition in his vocal cords, even advising what to do for the condition.

It’s reported that after the session, he spat up blood and then was able to speak very well.  He repeated the session several times to clear the condition completely.

His first words in the trance were…

We have the body

Later on, he began many of his diagnostic readings in this manner, and this became a famous quote of his.

News got out about Edgar Cayce’s healing, and his work began

Initially, Edgar Cayce worked with clients to help them with their illnesses. He rarely took payment and worked with people remotely via mail.

Later in his career, Edgar met a printer.  This man was also a metaphysical philosopher called Arthur Lammers.

Arthur realized how talented Edgar was, and asked him to go into a hypnotic trance. 

Arthur wanted to ask metaphysical questions, such as “What is the real nature of man?” and “What is the meaning of birth and death?”.

This part of Edgar Cayce’s life resulted in over 2,500 “Life” readings, relating to information about a person’s past lives, as opposed to the diagnostic readings he had previously practiced.

After many deep philosophical struggles, Edgar Cayce (who was a devout Christian) began to study different religions and metaphysical philosophies.

He finally concluded that the information he was receiving was based on the age-old study of the Akashic Records.

Edgar Cayce’s legacy

During the latter part of his life, Edgar Cayce created a metaphysical and alternative health healing hospital.  After meditating on a desirable location, he chose  Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The hospital sadly failed after a period of time.

Today, the grounds and legacy have been saved through the work of Edgar Cayce’s non-profit foundation.  This association is known as the Association of Research and Enlightenment.  The headquarters remain in Virginia Beach, VA.

To this day, you can visit the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 

People visit to walk the labyrinth outside the hospital and to see the beautiful bamboo gardens. 

There is a beautiful meditation room, and you can book an alternative treatment at the Cayce-Reilly Massotherapy clinic.

How I connected with Edgar Cayce’s work

In the year 2000, I moved to Virginia Beach and lived there for about two years.  During that time, I regularly visited the A.R.E. and studied reflexology there.

I was interested in Edgar Cayce’s work and had read a little about him.  I used to visit the A.R.E. but didn’t connect with the concept of the Akashic Records at the time.

It wasn’t until 2010, when a book arrived that I hadn’t ordered in the mail, and my mother got very sick and passed away, that I started to connect to the Akashic energy.

This was when I realized I could give Akashic Records readings for clients.

Where are you on the journey?

It’s interesting to reflect on Edgar Cayce’s journey and notice where it resonates for each of us.

In my case, I had always had intuitive or energetic experiences.  This meant that I could spontaneously read the energy of a location, but didn’t know it had anything to do with the Akashic Records at the time.

When my father passed away, his spirit visited me during the night of his passing.  I was able to relate what he was wearing in the hospital to my mother, who confirmed my vision.

Later in life, I was drawn to energy work and began to work with clients by learning reflexology.  I started my reflexology study at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E.

Finally, through the writings of a spiritual teacher, I was able to read the Akashic Records.

I hope you enjoyed this post.  Please feel free to comment and let me know how his story may resonate with you.
