1 - The Sleeping WonderIt was like any other day for Edgar Cayce. He went to sleep, by merely lying down and closing hiseyes, and then he started to talk in his sleep. But when he awakened a half-hour or so later, he realizedfrom the faces of those around him that he must have said something very extraordinary. And he had.In trance, on that hot, sultry day of August 1941, in the same voice that he would have prescribed aninnocent herb for somebody with the sniffles, he had predicted the destruction of most of LosAngeles, San Francisco, and New York.The greatest mystic America had ever known reacted philosophically to his Cassandra-like prophecy.In the past, he had foreseen great wars and holocausts, and they had come to pass. From his own"readings," which had helped thousands, he had come to believe in an endless cycle of life, andthough he could consciously grieve for those who knew sorrow or pain in this lifetime, he felt it wasall part of God's plan. And so it was with a shake of the head and a shrug that he dismissed theforecast. "What do you make of that?" he said, scratching his head, "I hope it's wrong, but it's neverbeen wrong before." "It" was the subconscious information, apparently the product of a UniversalMind, which had been streaming through him for forty years, and which were rather incongruouslyknown as readings.Cayce's forecast had come quite inadvertently, out of the same blue that produced his amazinglyaccurate diagnoses of ailing people whom he had never seen, and their consequent cures. As withother Cayce predictions, many of them already startlingly confirmed, the forecast was in response to aquestion that had little or nothing to do with the original request for the reading. A New Yorkbusinessman, concerned not only by the continuing strain of big city life, but the threat of wartimebombing, had said to Cayce, "I have for many months felt that I should move out of New York.""This is well, as indicated," the slumbering Cayce observed. "There is too much unrest; there willcontinue to be the character of vibrations that to the body will be disturbing, and eventually thosedestructive forces, though these will be in the next generation."The businessman asked: "Will Los Angeles be safe?"The answer came clearly, directly, without equivocation, "Los Angeles, San Francisco, most all ofthese will be among those that will be destroyed before New York even."The mechanics of this destruction was neither asked, nor given. However, in keeping with otherprognostications of Cayce's, it would appear that the destruction—if it comes—will be through theagency of Nature, and not the Bomb, unless, of course, it would be the Bomb that touched off anatural catastrophe.The predicted destruction in this country, part of the general Cayce forecast of sweeping upheavalsaround the world, has been tabbed for the period beginning in 1958, and extending to the end of thecentury, when a new millennium will hopefully begin. Some of these preliminary changes, in theMediterranean and the South Pacific, and in Alaska, have apparently already taken place, withConnecticut, New England, Alabama, Georgia, Japan, and northern Europe, among others still to be

sharply affected. But it may be a comfort to many, as more than one geologist has noted, that themany cataclysmic events predicted by Cayce are out of harmony with the standard geological conceptof uniformitarianism or gradual change.On the other hand, at least one leading geologist, erstwhile head of a college geology department, haschecked out the Cayce readings, and sees as eminently possible the drastic earth changes merging outof Cayce's stated cause—the tilting of the earth's rotational axis, beginning far below the crust of theearth in 1936.Cayce had a flair for prophecy and some even interpret a reading in 1939, shortly after the outbreak ofWorld War II in Europe, as foreshadowing the current war in Vietnam. "Before that we find the entity[the complex of body, soul and spirit] was in the land now known as or called Indochina. . There wefind the entity was one in authority, one in power, in that city that must be unfolded to the minds, ifthere is not the greater war over same." It was a disjointed excerpt from a past life reading, a Caycespecialty, and could be applied, if the French-Indochina war, which took the French out of Vietnam,was the lesser war. But one usually didn't have to look this hard for signs of Cayce predictions cometrue. He had foreseen, correctly, virtually every major world crisis, from before World War I, throughthe uneasy years of the League of Nations, and beyond through World War II, whose end he hadpredicted for 1945, the year of his own death.In the intervals, casually, while reading psychically for individuals, he picked off earthquakes, storms,volcanic eruptions. He not only saw far a field, but close at home, where his predictions makingNorfolk-Newport News a preeminent port, greater even than New York, have rather remarkablymaterialized, along with his pinpointing of a local realty boom to the very year, nearly fifteen yearsafter his own death.Through the clear channel of his subconscious he peered down the corridors of time into the troubledinternational scene, describing the future of Russia, China, Japan, England, the United States. Heforesaw England losing India, when nobody else did; he saw a free India unloved, because it wasunloving, and he tied in the end of Communism with another and more astonishing prediction of afree God fearing Russia. What he saw for China, eventual democratization, is certainly not beingpredicted, logically, anywhere else, and for an America, unconquerable, except through internal strife,he saw eventual world leadership, shared with another power, as the center of civilization graduallygravitated westward.To me, Cayce was no new phenomenon. I had "discovered" him originally, five years before, inpreparing my book, The Door to the Future. I had become familiar with many of his prophecies, hisremarkable way of apparently traveling in time and space to treat the ill; his concept of reincarnation,with its concept of many lives for the same soul spirit. Cayce seemed gifted with a Universal Mind,which seemingly drew on a subconscious register of everything that had ever happened or was goingto happen.It seemed an incredible quality, but as one studied Cayce, as he would any other individual, work orphenomenon, checking as he could with the evidence on hand, it became apparent that Caycesomehow, some way, was able to look inside of everything that fell into the realm of his unconscious

the human body and soul, the earth, the Universe itself. He was the man with the X-ray eyes.In my current research, I soon became aware that the Cayce influence was stronger now than in hislifetime. It was almost as though a self-limiting world, softened up by flights to the moon, laser raysand television, was catching up posthumously to the sage who had sleep-talked of a forgottencivilization, technologically comparable with our own—the Lost Continent of Atlantis, a visionaryexperience shared with that great figure of antiquity, the philosopher Plato.Twenty years after his death, the mystic's life work was thriving, slowly and painfully collected fromthousands of readings and left as bis legacy in the files of the Association for Research andEnlightenment in Virginia Beach. Scorned, generally, by the medical profession while alive, the deadCayce, and his readings on disease, was now a magnet for the inquiring minds of distinguishedmedical researchers. "Cayce," one medical authority reported, "was one hundred years ahead of histune, medically, and one day we may rewrite the textbooks on physiology and anatomy to conformwith his concept of health flowing out of a perfect harmony of blood, lymph, glands and nerves."Years before psychosomatic medicine, Cayce stressed that tensions and strains were responsible forstomach ulcers.In a benign Nature, he saw the remedy for any health deviation or illness man was heir to, though, atthe same time, he realized that not everyone could be helped when their time was at hand. Thirty yearsbefore the revelation of a rabbit serum "cure" for cancer blazoned across the country's front pages in1966, Cayce had prescribed such a serum for cancer cases, and described how it should be prepared.However, as he recommended it in only five cases of the seventy-eight he diagnosed as cancer, in hisschemata it was obviously only helpful for certain cancers.In the years since his death, five hundred healers of every description—MDs, osteopaths,chiropractors, physiotherapists have familiarized themselves with his methods, and in such diverseareas as Virginia, New York, Michigan, Arizona, Connecticut, and California, people who could getno help elsewhere are being successfully treated out of his readings. One woman was cured of avaginal tumor by a therapist who had studied his Cayce well; again, dramatically, I learned of a mancured of incurable psoriasis, by a voice from the dead, so to speak.I sat and marveled, watching a distinguished American composer, a semi-invalid only a short timebefore, rolling around on the floor, doing the Cayce-inspired exercises that had magically loosened thearthritic joints of his shoulders, arms, and fingers. He was a new man, he told me gratefully, thanks tothe dead Cayce.There was little question of Cayce's healing force, for I was able to check this out with the hopelesslyill who had been helped. I spoke to therapists, principally osteopaths, whom he did not consciouslyknow, to whom in his lifetime he directed patients. He had told one Staten Island mother, with anailing child, "Find Dobbins," and her steps finally took her to a young osteopath, Dr. Frank Dobbins,so newly arrived to Staten Island that his name was not yet in the New York City telephone directory.And just as Cayce had not consciously known of him, so Dobbins had never heard of Cayce.The prescriptions he recommended were often as incomprehensible. Some had a dozen different
