Edgar Cayce (/ˈkeɪsiː/; March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was an American psychic who allegedly possessed the ability to answer questions on subjects as varied as healing, reincarnation, wars, Atlantis and future events while in a trance.
These answers came to be known as “life readings of the entity” and
were usually delivered to individuals while Cayce was hypnotized. This
ability gave him the nickname “The Sleeping Prophet”. Cayce founded a
nonprofit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment^[1] that included a hospital and a university.

He is credited as being the father of holistic medicine and the most
documented psychic of the 20th century. Hundreds of books have been
written about him and his life readings for individuals. Though Cayce
himself was a member of the Disciples of Christ and lived before the emergence of the New Age Movement, some consider him the true founder and a principal source of its most characteristic beliefs.^[2]

Cayce became a celebrity toward the end of his life, and he believed
the publicity given to his prophecies overshadowed the more important
parts of his work, such as healing the sick and studying religion. Skeptics^[3]
challenge Cayce’s alleged psychic abilities and traditional Christians
also question his unorthodox answers on religious matters such as reincarnation and the Akashic records.
