Cayce wrote dozens of books on everything from dream analysis to past lives to health remedies. His books on Egyptian civilization are really spellbinding reading. Once I started his books (when I was much younger) they kind of shaped my open-mindedness of thinking about things beyond the normal senses. I could close my eyes and imagine all these fantastic things he talked about from his "readings". I would guess I have read approzimately 20 of his works.
This was no commercial stage act or cash generating sleight of hand, it makes a good case for real psychic abilities to actually manifest themselves in normal people from time to time. It is in a word...believable. Much of what Cayce saw, said and felt during these reading in fact bore out his statements. This was not generic "interpret it how you like" generalizations. Much of his information was very detailed and specific. Many of his predictions came to pass.
He had readings on aliens, Mayan's, Atlantis and even how the New Age that is coming on 12.21.12 would unfold. Less a world destruction and more a rebirth.
If you have any interest in this subject matter I strongly recommend taking in some of Cayce's literary works. At the very least it is fascinating to read.

Maybe a bit of both!
Wow, you caught my attention. I'm definitely going to need to check this guy out.
Interesting post! :)
I don't remember how I first heard about him, but I got hooked on Edgar Cayce books when I was just about 12 years old. I read lots of them and couldn't get enough.
The idea of his "sleep readings" fascinated me then...just as today--especially because he wasn't some slick salesman type, clearly out to get rich.
So he saw December 21, 2012 as more of a rebirth? Wonder if it's the Rapture then?
I did a lot of reading up on him in my teens. Very fascinating fellow.
Love the header too by the way.
I've read some of his stuff and I'm checking the "nut job" box. Very interesting guy though...
Stephanie: I really thought he was very believable while I was reading his work. He didn't try and start a religion (unlike L.Ron) and he didn't do two shows nightly in a Vegas style environment. He seemed real.
Chiz: You will be hooked if you start reading. Wish I could tell you which book I started with.
Earthling: I think I was about 14 or 15 when I started reading him and did so regularly for a couple years. Very addicting.
Alex: His view of 12.21.12 is somewhat a parallel to what some say the Mayan calendar really means for that date. Don't get me calling it the Rapture though.
TS: Same here. Thanks on the header. It is a tricked up picture of a gourmet bowl of soup I was served in Fiji.
Pat: Well then this would be a subject we could have a rousing debate on over a couple of cold ones!
Good choice and good job.I have been a Cayce fan most of my adult life. I too, have read every book he wrote or those written about him.Many people labeled him "fake" but he always passed all the little tests they had for him.
I think some of these nut jobs are tapped in. Nutty, but quite possibly onto something.
Never heard of him, but will definitely check him out now.
I've heard of him, but didn't really know much about him. Sounds interesting; I may need to look up some of his works!

Manzanita: That is so cool. I have talked to many people about him over the years and usually get a blank stare. Then I change the conversation. I believe he was as real as they come.
Stephen: My personal belief is that he was the real McCoy. And I think tapped in is a apt way to put it.
Rayna: It is worthwhile reading and very informative. Good to see you again.
Shannon: It will broaden your horizon and you too may become addicted to his stuff.
