He was a world-renowned psychic who claimed to receive visions while in a trance. Edgar Cayce would download messages during his sleep. He was able to receive messages on all sorts of topics, from past lives to future events, you name it. He could diagnose any ailment and prescribe a cure. Edgar Cayce, as a fact, has healed and helped thousands of people and did amazing things. And he professed to have encounters with otherworldly beings. Edgar Cayce said that he received information from some kind of angel. Could it be that Edgar Cayce was not merely clairvoyant, but a vessel used to carry out an alien agenda? You have to wonder if Edgar Cayce wasn't chosen by extraterrestrials to be a messenger to mankind. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Dolnay Vestunice, the Czech Republic. In 1949, archaeologists conducting excavations near this ancient village came upon the remains of a middle-aged woman. Based on the manner in which she was buried and the ritual items discovered with her body, they determined that she was a shaman, and more significantly, the oldest shaman ever discovered, having died roughly 30,000 years ago. human history, and in every culture, shamans have been people who appear to have the ability to communicate with a higher realm, cure the sick, and even see into the future. But perhaps the most astounding of them all is a modern-day prophet from the hills of Kentucky named Edgar Cayce. Here is Mitch Horowitz, author of Uncertain Places, Essays on Occult and outsider experiences. Edgar Cayce was arguably the most significant Christian mystic of the 20th century. This is Lynn Picknett, co-author of The Forgotten Universe. His reputation preceded him enormously. He became incredibly famous for his readings and his healings. Deepak Shimkata, PhD, is a professor of Asian art at Chaffee College. Edgar Cayce was born on a southern farm in 1877 and came from humble beginnings. But over his lifetime, he would become world-renowned, recording more than 14,000 psychic readings, making him one of the most prolific and documented mediums of the 20th century. And according to Casey's friends and family, his unique gifts were on display from a very early age. Here is Corrine Casey. Yor-Casey was my great-grandfather, and there are these stories that I heard for my whole life about the breathtaking level of his psychic ability. From a pretty early age, his psychic ability and his psychic experiences were happening for him. The stories that I would hear was that the way that his psychic ability kind of formally started was through a very particular experience that happened one afternoon when he was outside by a creek where he had built this little fort and he was reading the bible from a very young age he discovered the bible and he loved to read it and he heard a woman's voice call his name And he looked up, and it was a figure of a woman who had wings. This feminine apparition told him that he possessed some kind of extra gift of insight. And he was asked, what did he want in life? And he responded that he wanted to find ways to help people. And this angelic apparition said to him, thy wish shall be granted. and thereafter Edgar's psychical or clairvoyant abilities seemed to increase. Casey claimed that this winged visitor soon returned and began to instruct him on how to unlock his incredible psychic abilities. His father was quizzing him on the spelling words that he needed to have memorized for school the next day and he was getting increasingly frustrated and Edgar was feeling defeated and sad and very tired And finally, Edgar heard a voice inside that was the same voice that he had heard the day before at the creek, this woman's voice who said, if you'll sleep on your book, we can help you. EDGAR GILLESPATIUS EDGAR WENT TO SLEEP WITH A SCHOOL BOOK UNDER HIS PILLOW, AND HE AWOKE THE ABILITY TO HAVE MEMORIZED ALL THE KEY LESSONS THAT APPEARED IN THE SCHOOL BOOK. AND THIS UNEVEN STUDENT WENT TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY, AND HE ACED IT. HERE IS ANDREW COLLINS, AUTHOR OF BENEATH THE PIRIAMIDS. SOMETHING WAS GUIDING HIM. WHAT WAS THIS ANGEL? WHO WAS THIS ANGEL? OBVIOUSLY, we cannot say, but Cayce was being influenced by otherworldly intelligences. Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that Edgar Cayce was visited by an otherworldly being? And did he truly possess psychic abilities? According to those who have studied Edgar Cayce's life and readings, some of the most compelling evidence can be found by examining accounts of his astounding ability to both diagnose and cure illnesses. This is John Van Alken, author of Edgar Cayce's Tales of Ancient Egypt. Edgar spent his first 20 years focusing on health readings for people, but he didn't go and examine the people. he could access them clairvoyantly and actually see the condition of their body, the blood condition, the injuries they had had, and start to prescribe a way of overcoming the ailment they were dealing with. And he would give them sometimes very strange formulas to get through toward healing. Casey had no medical training and had not even attended high school. He claimed that visions of the past, present and future would come to him while in a self-induced trance. It was this practice that earned him the nickname, the Sleeping Prophet. Edgar Casey would lay down on a couch and put himself into a self-induced hypnotic state. his breathing would deepen and his eyelids would flutter like they do when we're in REM sleep. He would wake up and have absolutely no memory of what he had said. Although Edgar Cayce performed his readings while in a trance, a rare audio recording reveals that he spoke clearly and gave very specific instructions when providing health remedies. One of the most amazing health stories in the Casey psychic files is his own wife, Gertrude. She contracted tuberculosis. That was the kiss of death in those days. Gertrude asked Edgar to please give her a reading to see if she could get better, and Edgar was terrified that what he might say might cause this person, who is the most precious to him, harm in any way. But at that point, she was going to die, according to the doctors, and so he did give her the reading. And there were suggestions that were given in that reading for her getting better. Here's the formula. You had to get a two-gallon charred oak keg, and you had to put heated apple brandy in it and inhale the fumes deeply into your lungs. All she did was inhale the fumes coming out of the keg, and she recovered from tuberculosis. And then he started prescribing this method to many other people and it worked. It worked. Many natural remedies Casey prescribed are still used today. And in fact, he was one of the first people to introduce holistic medicine to the Western world, in which body, mind and spirit are considered together in the management and prevention of illnesses. But if some other his otherworldly intelligence was responsible for helping him to develop his psychic abilities as ancient astronaut theorists suggest What could have been the purpose Perhaps further clues can be found by examining Cayce incredible predictions about events that would change the course of humanity. A prodigy in numerous psychic arts from a young age, Edgar Cayce quickly rose to fame in the early 20th century as one of the most sought-after clairvoyants of his time. Casey first became known nationally through a story on the cover of the New York Times in fall of 1910. The headline was, Illiterate Man Becomes a Doctor When Hypnotized. Casey was not illiterate, but nor did he have much formal schooling beyond his early grade school years. He went from being a fairly humble farm boy to being a superstar. are. And it's astonishing how quickly Edgar Cayce became famous and influential. He didn't want it. Although he did not aspire to it, Edgar Cayce found both fame and fortune in the 1920s. Word quickly spread about his ability to not only diagnose and treat illnesses, but also to predict the future. Casey's eerily accurate readings drew the attention of thousands of believers, including high-profile clients like Thomas Edison, Harry Houdini, and George Gershwin. There's even evidence that President Woodrow Wilson had a reading with him, and indeed other high-ranking members of the U.S. government. Casey also claimed to receive visions concerning major world events, and one in particular would forever change public perception of his supposed talents. It was a prediction of a pivotal moment in U.S. history, the stock market crash of 1929. In 1925, Edgar Cayce told his biggest financial supporter to sell all his stocks. And he started to unload his stocks, but the market kept going up and his friends were making so much money he bought back in. And then in October of 1929, he lost everything. In a matter of weeks, the world sank into the Great Depression, just as Edgar Cayce predicted. But this would not be the only time Edgar Cayce's visions seemed to accurately predict major events in history. In the mid-1930s, Edgar forecast a great conflict on the horizon of world events. This was often seen as presaging the invasion of Poland and the events that led to the Second World War. Early on in his career as a psychic, Edgar Cayce would become disturbed when a reading predicted something ominous. Whether it had to do with a single individual or an event that affected the entire world. As a devout Christian, he worried that his visions might be coming from a dark place. It was deeply unsettling and scary for him. At a certain point, he fully committed to it, but there was a number of years where he was picking it up and putting it back down, wanting to have nothing to do with it. The constant question that he was working with is, is this okay? Can I devote myself to this and be the type of Christian that I know myself to be? As more and more time went on, to hear people say to him how he had literally saved their life, or their child's life, or their family member's life, that was really important to him. In 1931, Casey told his followers that he now knew the source of his remarkable insights, and that they came to him from a vast otherworldly repository of information called the Akashic Record. Here is ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsouklos. of knowledge. In Hindu mythology, there are several instances where conversation takes place between some entity up in the sky and here on Earth, and that conversation, that voice, is called Akash Vani. Akash meaning sky, Vani meaning speech. So I think in the case of Edgar Cayce, he's hearing some voices from up there, while he's channeling, trying to get the source. Throughout history, there are numerous famous examples of people who professed to access knowledge from another realm. The great 15th century artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci wrote that he would stare at the flickering light from a candle to enter a meditative state in which he could access new ideas. In the early 20th century, genius mathematician Sirinivasa Ramanujan claimed that complex equations were communicated to him in his dreams. And one of the pioneers of electricity, Nikola Tesla, said that his revelation for how to harness alternating current came to him in a moment when he felt that some outside source had entered his consciousness. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. Nikola Tesla claimed that he would envision these many inventions that he created. So it's possible that Tesla himself was tapping into the Akashic Record, just like Edgar Cayce was talking about. Jonathan Young, Ph.D., is the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. It is as if our great thinkers are tapping into something that is there and beyond our understanding, and that perhaps people of a certain intellect are able to open to that, and their genius is to see beyond what we are seeing. Is it possible that certain individuals throughout human history, like Edgar Cayce, had the unique ability to access the infinite knowledge of the universe. And if so, did these mystics come to this gift by chance? Or could they have been chosen for it? Because we know that Edgar Cayce had an incredible visitation from what he described as an angel. Could this connection be something that was given to him by higher intelligences, perhaps by extraterrestrials or extra-dimensional beings? Yes, of course, absolutely. Because of his psychic abilities, he was able then to communicate all kinds of esoteric ideas. is. But yet they were coming from a very normal person. You have to wonder if Edgar Cayce wasn't chosen, say by extraterrestrials, to be a messenger to mankind. If there was a reason that Edgar Cayce was chosen by an otherworldly intelligence to receive this knowledge, just what was that purpose? There are some ancient astronaut theorists who believe that Edgar Cayce was chosen not only to share visions of the future, but to convey lost knowledge from our ancient past. Virginia Beach, Virginia, 1932 Edgar Cayce calls a gathering of his closest supporters for a series of special readings. Up until this time, Cayce's readings most often involved future predictions or remedies to heal the sick. But on this occasion, he will instead be called upon to access the ancient past. One of Edgar Cayce's fascinating readings was about the Great Pyramid of Egypt. The Great Pyramid is on the dollar bill. And so everybody who has a dollar bill in their pocket is carrying around a picture of the Great Pyramid. It's one of the most famous structures in the world, and yet there is so much about the Great Pyramid of Egypt which remains a mystery to this day. The 480-foot-tall Great Pyramid of Giza consists of over 2 million stone blocks, weighing a total of 6 million tons. It stands perfectly level and is more closely aligned to true north than any other structure on earth, built either in ancient or modern times. Here is Egyptologist Rami Romani. The Great Pyramid of Giza is a marvel of architecture. It's something that you cannot, you just cannot replicate today, which makes you wonder how did they have all this knowledge and and what kind of knowledge they had. According to most Egyptologists, the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed during a 20-year period by order of the Pharaoh Khufu, sometime around 2500 BC. But when Edgar Cayce was asked about the origins of the Great Pyramid in 1932 he placed the iconic structure at a much earlier date William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. Edgar Cayce said that it was actually built somewhere around 10,490 BC, 8,000 years before traditional Egyptologists said it was constructed. Now, in the 1930s, this is an astounding statement to make. Cayce also claimed that the Sphinx, which sits near the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, dates back to this same period, which geologist Robert Schock believes is accurate based on his own examination of the monument and water erosion that could be found around the base of the structure. After studying the Sphinx in great detail, looking at the weathering and erosion, I've come to the conclusion that in fact the Sphinx has its origins going back to before the end of the last ice age, so around 10,000 or so BCE. This happens to be the date that Edgar Cayce was talking about. Could it be that Edgar Cayce's reading was correct, and that the extraordinary structures that stand on the Giza Plateau were built more than 12,000 years ago. During his reading, Cayce also made the astounding claim that the builders of the pyramid were somehow able to make the giant stone blocks float through the air. Edgar Cayce said the structure was built using powers that we don't understand. He said the ancient Egyptians knew how to float stone in the air like we know how to float iron on water. And people still wonder if it's levitation, if it's gas balloons. We don't know for sure. Cayce's readings concerning the ancient past were not limited to just Egypt. He also commented on another topic that is well known to ancient astronaut theorists. The Bible's Book of Ezekiel In this text, the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel describes a fiery chariot with wheels within wheels, descending from the sky in a whirlwind. This is Jim Vieira, co-author of Giants on Record. Edgar Cayce talked about Ezekiel in the Bible and the spinning wheels being a visitation by an extraterrestrial craft. But Cayce really seems to include ETs in the timeline of human evolution. He talks about extraterrestrials showing up in Mayan times as well. Cayce said that there were undiscovered pyramids in Mexico, the home of the Mayan Empire. A number of lost pyramids have been discovered in Mexico since that time. And as recently as 2022, archaeologists uncovered the ruins of an ancient Maya city filled with pyramids in the Yucatan Peninsula. What I find fascinating about Edgar Cayce is the depth and the breadth of his insights, his readings, and how it's been corroborated by independent researchers. He not only talked about ancient history and the pyramids, but one area in particular is his work on the Essenes, the Jewish mystics, the order out of which Jesus and John the Baptist emerged. In the 1930s, he was discussing the Essenes and telling us what the Essenes believed. Nobody knew anything about this before 1947, when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and then translated in the 1950s. In Cayce's readings, he provided a number of details about the Essenes, such as his claim that in the Essene society, men and women worked and lived together. At the time of the reading, scholars believed that the Essenes were a monastic society composed exclusively of men. However, in 1951, more than six years after Cayce's death, archaeologists discovered evidence that Cayce was right. Men and women live together in the Essene society. Come to find out, Edgar Cayce and his readings precisely match what the Dead Sea Scrolls said. How can that be? Edgar Cayce must have tapped in to the past somehow, some mysterious way. Is it possible that Edgar Cayce was given a vision of humankind's long lost past? And if so, could there have been a reason this secret knowledge was revealed to him? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining another vision Casey had concerning ancient Egypt and a secret repository of knowledge hidden beneath the paw of the Sphinx. On July 1, 1932, while in a trance, Edgar Cayce made an astonishing claim that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built more than 12,000 years ago. He also voiced another, perhaps even more significant, revelation when he declared that a secret chamber lies hidden under the right paw of the Great Sphinx of Giza. The chamber is said to contain records of a highly advanced lost civilization, the same one that the Greek philosopher Plato wrote about in the 4th century BC, known as Atlantis. The traditional concept of Atlantis is that it was located somewhere out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Straits of Gibraltar. Edgar Cayce came along and filled in tremendous gaps in details. In his trance-like state, he described Atlantis as this very luxurious and enormously powerful culture. It had advanced technology. The capital city was at the center of circular canals with magnificent bridges that linked the canals that sailing ships could sail under. In Cayce's vision, Atlantis became real. Cayce specifically stated that Atlantis was an actual historical place. He said this lost world was founded by supernatural beings that were extraterrestrial. So he clearly believed or stated that there were other intelligences in the universe that interfaced with humanity. Here is ancient astronaut theorist Eric von Daniken. One day Atlantis sunk, which in geology makes no sense that Atlantis sunk. Maybe it was a storm or whatever that destroyed Atlantis. Maybe it was a war. What Edgar Cayce said was that the survivors of Atlantis moved into different parts of the ancient world, and he had to build three so-called halls of records. One was to be in what we know today as the Yucatan. Another was to be somewhere in the vicinity of the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. And the third one was to be in the area that we now know as the Giza Plateau in Egypt. And these were to be the repositories of all of the knowledge and wisdom of the Atlantean people. Did Edgar Cayce access information about an advanced extraterrestrial civilization that inhabited the Earth thousands of years ago? And if so, could proof that Atlantis once existed lie just beneath the feet of the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt? For geologist Dr. Robert Schock, Casey's predictions eerily echoed his own independent investigation at this iconic Egyptian monument. We conducted a number of low-energy seismographic studies around the base of the Sphinx. We placed geophones around the perimeter of the Sphinx. We pounded on the steel plate, which was laid on the surface of the ground. This sent energy waves or sound waves into the rock, and they bounce off of different layers of rock. And from that, we found areas that indicated hollows or chambers or voids within the rock. We found one at the rear of the Sphinx, and we found what looked like a tunnel-like structure, basically along the body of the Sphinx. And we found a large rectangular chamber-like structure under the left paw of the Sphinx. This was totally unexpected to us. I was simply looking for mineralogical changes. Unfortunately, Dr. Schock's investigation would be cut short before he could follow up on his findings. Dr. Robert Schock comes along and it looks like there's a chamber there. The Egyptian military steps in and stops the whole affair. That tells me that there seems to be some awareness that there truly is something there and that the Egyptian authorities wanted to keep a lid on it and have kept a lid on it until this day. Based on our seismic analysis, I have no question that there is a chamber under the left paw of the Sphinx and that this is an artificial, human-made chamber. This is precisely where Edgar Cayce suggested a Hall of Records might exist. If we could find this time capsule, and it was there, I mean, this is something that that would literally change history. Because there still much to be discovered about the human story who we are where we been where we coming from and that what Edgar Cayce was talking about If Edgar Cayce really did receive information about a so Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx could this be evidence that he was carrying out an extraterrestrial agenda to reveal planet Earth's true past? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that Cayce was also preparing humankind for an extraordinary future. Virginia Beach In this rare footage from 1939, 62-year-old Edgar Cayce is captured on film among a growing number of followers who now visit him on a daily basis, seeking cures to their ailments and insights about the future. Four years later, in March of 1943, Casey's fame would grow exponentially with the publication of his first biography, titled There is a River, the story of Edgar Casey. Here is filmmaker Carolyn Corey from Superhuman, the Invisible Made Visible. There is a River by Thomas Chagru was getting a lot of acclaim, and his name was becoming more and more familiar to more and more people. Also, World War II was well underway at that point, and so the combination of people becoming aware that there was someone you could ask any question and you would get a psychic response. Edgar Cayce started receiving vast numbers of requests for readings during that time. He started giving eight to ten readings a day. His psychic readings took an extreme toll on his physical body. His youngest son told me that he could see that his father's body was not doing well with so many readings. I believe when you are in a deep trance state and receiving information, this information is coming through from a very, very high frequency. So your brain is working at this very, very high frequency as if you're pressing on the gas nonstop. And that gets very exhausting. If you did that every day, eventually that takes a toll on you and your body starts to break down. In September of 1944, he had a series of small strokes and the reading that he gave for himself said that he needed to rest and calm down and not work as hard as he was working. On January 3rd, 1945, Edgar Cayce passed away at the age of 67. In the final year of his life, Cayce performed an astounding 1,385 readings. Some say that Cayce worked himself to death. This was not a means for him to get rich. It was a means to help humanity to be a conduit of records from a source of universal knowledge that he could share with humanity. Edgar Cayce stated that his purpose in life was to help his fellow humans. When he died, he left behind an enormous archive of psychic readings that are still being studied today, and which some believe could provide important clues about the future. Cayce is also largely credited with introducing the modern world to holistic medicine. He's called the father of holistic medicine because he was one of the first people to really start talking in America about the integration and connection between our bodies and mind and spirit. He also popularized certain Eastern ideas with which many Americans were unfamiliar, including karma, reincarnation, as well as a mind-body connection in medicine. Meditation as a therapeutic tool, everything that you find today on the alternative spiritual scene was heightened in public awareness through Edgar Cayce's readings. Edgar Cayce said that people had to fix their thinking and you had to have higher help. You needed your mind on the right attitude. It needed to be expectant. And you needed some of the life force of the spirit flowing better. Cayce believed that a holistic approach to life was not only beneficial to a person's health, but might also lead to more people awakening their own innate psychic abilities and learning to access a higher realm of knowledge, just as he did. Einstein said, all existence is energy, and that energy is being interconnected through the ether. I think Edgar was correct when he says that you can tap into all sorts of information through the ether. But this is not a science in a lab. We are talking about the state of consciousness. Edgar Cayce has spoken about reaching to a new level of holism, higher mental state, higher vibrational state of the body, and more spirituality. Even though he was a Christian, his teachings are way beyond Christianity. They pick up on Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and the Kabbalah teachings. As humans become more enlightened, they can still get new information from Cayce's files. Could it be that by studying Edgar Cayce's teachings, anyone can learn how to access a higher realm? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining Edgar Cayce's visions of a future in which humans develop profound new abilities. Over the course of his life, Edgar Cayce gave readings concerning everything from critical illnesses to the ancient past to major world events. But perhaps most intriguing among his many prophecies is one that predicts the emergence of an advanced group of humans. In July of 1932, Edgar Cayce predicted that a new type of human being would walk the earth. He referred to them as the fifth root race and described this new being as having enhanced psychic powers, telekinesis, psychic ability, and expanded consciousness capabilities. Root races are a concept that emerged from Madame H.P. Blavatsky's two-volume work, The Secret Doctrine, which was published in 1888. Blavatsky maintained that over vast stretches of history, humanity would be moving into different evolutionary stages of expanded psychical abilities, for example. Edgar's predictions of an emergent generation in the early 21st century with heightened psychic abilities arguably could line up with similar predictions that can be gleaned from Blavatsky. the fifth root race. It's something similar to the idea that a lot of new age people started to talk about from about the 1980s onwards. The idea that children would be born much more psychically sensitive. They were referred to as the so-called indigo children or the star children and that come In the 21st century, there would be this huge rise in psychic powers of spirituality and oneness with the cosmos. Casey talked about individuals being born that will have psychic gifts that will be advanced. And I tend to believe that is what's happening on the earth. A lot of people are coming around to these ancient ideas of metaphysics and spirituality. I have encountered a lot of young people and worked with them who have incredible gifts. And we will see through time if there's a changing of the guard in humanity. Is it possible that Edgar Cayce's vision of a fifth-route race is coming true? And if so, could this provide insight into a greater mission behind Cayce's life's work? There are some ancient astronaut theorists who believe that these predictions of humanity's future may actually be part of a plan to prepare us for the return of our extraterrestrial ancestors. Edgar Cayce believed that the Akashic Record can be accessed by anyone. And I think that is absolutely true. that we have not awakened ourselves. But if you are able to access the records, like Edgar Cayce, then the gate to universe opens up. I think it's very interesting to make a correspondence between ancient astronaut theory and what Cayce was proposing. The common denominator is that there was once a glorious past civilization where humans interacted with extraterrestrial beings, the gods. They lived amongst us. and one day they will return and humankind will have full knowledge of its past and we will live in a new golden age. Secrets to healings bordering on miraculous. Lost knowledge of mankind's true ancient origins. Visions of a future in which all humans can awaken their innate psychic abilities. Is it possible that Edgar Cayce's true purpose was to demonstrate to mankind the potential for unlocking the secrets of the universe? Perhaps the truth will only be found by accessing the cosmic knowledge that exists all around us.
