Edgar Cayce, widely acclaimed clairvoyant and forerunner of the holistic health movement, is revealed here as a pivotal figure in the transition from the esoteric and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth century to the New Age movement.This book describes and evaluates his psychic "readings," more than 14,000 trance discourses that address medical, theological, historical, and psychological concerns raised by thousands of inquirers. The author evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability in the subject areas emphasized by the readings. Cayce's medical and psychological advice is shown to be well ahead of his time in many respects, and his spiritual teachings are appraised as a reconciliation of Protestant mysticism with New Thought and Theosophy. Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective.

The Story of Ada was fueled by a yearning to understand more deeply who Ada really is beyond external appearances. From early adolescence to maturity, multiple dreams formed a hidden current of energy behind many of Adas professional activities, dreams which kept whispering their messages of something moreeven when, for lack of understandingshe ignored them while recording three volumes. Sparked by the comment of a friend, Ada, in her retirement years, went on a relentless inner quest during which she realized that her dreams were, all along, a subconscious spiritual lifeline, supporting her on her lifes journey and revealing hidden aspects of herself which had inhibited her soul growth. Her arduous explorations culminated in an illuminating discovery of her personal elusive why of so many dreams. A blueprint for others to understand dreams as expressions of loving grace.

One of the most remarkable stories of the twentieth century about one of the most incredible men who ever lived: Edgar Cayce, a Kentucky farm boy whose psychic powers healed thousands, touched countless lives, and inspired the dawn of the New Age. For more than forty years, Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), the 'sleeping prophet,' regularly exhibited an astonishing psychic ability. From an altered state, he was able to read minds and souls, diagnose thousands of illnesses, successfully prescribe remedies, see into the past and the future, and tap into a source of universal knowledge where such information resides--a source Cayce said is available to us all. For anyone who has heard of Edgar Cayce-and his name is familiar to millions--here is a concise, reliable, immensely readable introduction to his life, work, and message. In Edgar Cayce's ESP, his story is told by writer Kevin Todeschi, an authority on Cayce's work and the director of the popular educational organization Cayce founded, the Association for Research and Enlightenment. Drawing upon more than 14,000 case histories and readings, Todeschi presents a wealth of proof of Cayce's psychic abilities and the effects they had on the lives of his contemporaries. Todeschi focuses especially on the character of the modest, generous Cayce himself, a man who started out in life as a sensitive, Bible-reading Kentucky farm boy and who grew up to become an unlikely prophet of the New Age and the most famous psychic in American history.

Ancients traveled far and paid handsomely to hear the sibyls and oracles channel wisdom from the gods. The Holy Bible writes of many prophets and seers, but divination by ordinary people was strongly prohibited. As a result, mediums and psychics have since been laughed at, ostracized, and even burned at the stake. But always there have been some people who persisted in believing in spirit communication secretly. We must take a sober and realistic view of divination in the times ahead, but openly and publicly. This book will help you to understand divination for its true value. Listening to the spirit world is our only hope for a world of peace.

Mitchell takes us inside a movement that is increasingly occupying the national consciousness, into a compelling, hidden world, far more connected to the chaos of modern life than its caricature as a freakish antigovernment activity would suggest."--BOOK JACKET.
