EDGAR CAYCE

For those who are unacquainted with the work of this extraordinary man, Edgar Cayce was born near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, on March 18th, 1877, and died in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on January the 3rd, 1945. He possessed one of the truly remarkable psychic talents of all time, and throughout his 67 years he used this innate ability with selfless integrity. Although he had relatively little formal education and was not a scholar by nature, his psychic gift enabled him to induce in himself a state of trance or deep sleep which stilled his conscious mind and gave him access to what Jung called "...the collective unconscious...."--- the universal wisdom of man at its subconscious source. He chose to use his gift to help others, and for the first part of his life, the information which came through him was confined to physical ills. The continued accuracy of his diagnoses and the effectiveness of the sometimes unorthodox treatments he recommended made him primarily a medical phenomenon.He needed only the name and the geographical location of an individual anywhere in the world to enable him to give a detailed diagnosis of his/her physical condition. He said that the information came principally from the patients own subconscious mind, which he was able to contact while he slept. This information given by Cayce in his unconscious or subconscious state was called his readings. He saw the collective or universal subconscious as a vast river of thought flowing through eternity, fed by the sum total of man's mental mental activity since his beginning. He maintained that this river is accessible to any individual who is prepared to develop his psychic or spiritual faculties with sufficient patience and effort. This theory has been advanced by many scholars, philosophers, and mystics both ancient and modern, but Edgar Cayce through his psychic faculty was able to substantiate his theory with evidence that stood the test of application. His gift, far from being esoteric in origin, was rooted in orthodox religious principles. The files containing his readings are in the custody of the Edgar Cayce Foundation, an affiliate of the of the Association for Research and Enlightenment. The A.R.E. itself is a nonprofit organisation established in 1931 to preserve, study, and present the Edgar Cayce Clairvoyant readings. The association preserves 14,253 psychic readings by Cayce at its national headquarters at Virginia Beach. According to subject matter, at least 1009 of these were directly on dream interpretation. It was Edgar Cayce's conviction that the individual is best qualified to interpret his/her own dreams. Some people respond rapidly, whereas others are slow to learn, the latter generally affected by mental blocks which the dreams eventually expose.

The importance Cayce attached to the dream emphasises its spiritual content and its moral importance to the conscious mind of the dreamer. He believed that in the spiritual sense, dreams have a universality as fundamental as breathing itself. Speaking from a self-imposed hypnotic trance, Cayce stated this....."All visions and dreams are given for the benefit of the individual, would we but interpret them correctly. Dreams are the activities in the unseen world of the real self......"

"Visions or dreams, in whatever character they may come, are the reflection of:

 [1] Physical conditions.

[2] The subconscious. (Here) the conditions relating to the physical body and its actions (manifest) either through the mind or through the elements of the spiritual entity.

 [3] A projection from the spiritual forces (superconscious) to the subconscious of the individual. "Happy may he/she be who is able to say that he/she has been spoken to through dream or vision."

According to Edgar Cayce,unless an individual is seeking to improve his spiritual life by asking for help in terms of prayer, his dreams will be a meaningless jumble. If, however, he/she is unselfishly seeking God's will for him, then the higher consciousness will monitor the dreams and give him/her a clearer sense of direction in daily life. There is little therapy or value in simply learning the meaning of a dream, especially if it is related to an aspect of behaviour, unless an individual wants to change or improve himself.
