the whole new age religion came after mr. cayce’s death. he had no part in devoloping a cult- like following. i belive that there are certain people who come around every now and then who are truly gifted with extra sensory perception. as humans we only use 10 percent of our brain function. if a person is chanced to be born with a disability like c.p. the same probability applies to a person born with an extraordinary gift. einstein was thought to have used 12 percent of his brain, thus came his brilliance. mr. cayce was conscious in parts of his brain, that for the majority of us, we are not conscious.
cayce was very modest with his work. he collected pay for readings early on, to open a hospital because he truly felt he could help people. there are records of him diagnosing patients in a subconcious state. his claims to have traveled out of the body are an arguement which should be corresponded with carpesian duality. the universe is a very mysterious place, a mere atom in a universe of planets. we are not fully knowledgable of the complete functions of the human brain. in time, we learn from our mistakes; to be such egotist is a flaw of our human nature. edgar cayce should not be classified as a psychic or a prophet. surly, though, he is more accurate in his predictions than nostradamus or those before him.

” And his prophecies? Were any of them correctly interpreted before the events they foretold took place? Or were they all retrofitted after the fact? ”
Actually some of his fortellings, like the existence of the Dead Sea Scrolls, were only realised AFTER he DIED! So no retrofitting was necessary.
The film cannot be a comprehensive answer-guide to every man’s questions, but if you took the time to read and check the facts (e.g. about his wife’s diagnosis by a medical doctor - the answer is yes she was diagnosed before turning to Cayce for help) you would have written a more balanced article.
As for the money aspect - Cayce and his family lived simple lives, he did not charge for his readings and did many of them without receiving a donation. So $$$ was not the motive and wealth was not the result.
I expect you are disappointed.

“The fact of the matter is, either thousands of people (including initially skeptical medical doctors of Cayce’s day) were completely delusional, or Cayce did in fact help to cure people.”

sorry but i must disagree.

Where is the evidence that cayce ever cured anything? We have his word. There is no proof at all.

Cayce claimed a bunch of things that are demonstrably false though. look up some of his predictions. many are downright laughable.

I’m sorry the author of this article has a child with cerebral palsy, but she rather abruptly ends the article without having debunked a single thing.

The fact of the matter is, either thousands of people (including initially skeptical medical doctors of Cayce’s day) were completely delusional, or Cayce did in fact help to cure people.

Even Houdini, who was almost as famous as a debunker as he was an escape artist, did not denounce Casey after having been present at a reading.
