Is anyone familiar with Edgar Cayce, the "Sleeping Prophet"?

He had some thought-provoking writings about sleep, dreams, and the soul. He called sleep the "little death". He analogized that the soul was like a balloon tied to a tight string during our consciousness but during sleep, it was free to go where it wanted.

He wrote about "energy vampires" that steal our energy and interrupt our lives with their "materialism". They can destroy our lives if we let them.

Like Nostradamus, he predicted 2026 as an eventful, and perhaps, a cataclysmic year. Although he had never read Nostradamus, he had similar ideas about the future.

However, it was his writings about sleep and the soul that I found the most interesting.

You do not have to comment on this if you do not want?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce

Edgar Cayce (/ˈkeɪsiː/; March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was an American clairvoyant who reported and chronicled an ability to diagnose diseases and recommend treatments for ailments while asleep.[1] During thousands of transcribed sessions, Cayce answered questions on subjects including healing, reincarnation, dreams, the afterlife, past lives, nutrition, Atlantis, and future events. Cayce said he was a devout Christian and was not a spiritualist or communicating with spirits. Cayce is regarded as a founder of the New Age movement and a principal source of many of the movement's characteristic beliefs.[2]

In 1931, Cayce founded a non-profit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment.[3] In 1942, a popular and highly sympathetic biography of Cayce titled There is a River was published by journalist Thomas Sugrue.[4]

A career counselor once mentioned him extensively. I found the subject a bit complicated.

91. Lucid dreaming is realizing you are dreaming, while you are dreaming
Sun May 17, 2026, 05:11 PM
Sunday

It happened to me last year when I was dreaming about some video game predicament and trying to escape the trap, when I heard a voice saying to the effect: 'this is a dream, you are dreaming, this is not real' so as to be a calming affect, assuring me not to worry about what I was worried about.
Like an early warning radar system.

That is the only time in my life I realized I was lucid dreaming, maybe more unwittingly, since only this year 2026 did I even hear about Lucid dreaming, due to reading several Amanda Quick novels, pseudonym for Jayne Krentz.

While i found some of his stuff interesting, to me it was delivered in a very dry, boring, almost pedantic way that often put me to sleep.
His claims about never having read nostradamus have caused some controversy, if I recall, because some have pointed out that some of Cayces predictions were way too close to nostradamus's predictions.

Cayce seems to go in cycles - his stuff is really popular for awhile, then drops off the radar, then comes back again.

The Bimini Wall (Season 4, Episode 22): Explores underwater rock formations in the Bahamas that Cayce predicted would prove to be remnants of Atlantis.

Might have been others; these are just the two that popped up first when I went "in search of" the Nimoy connection on Google.

I was listening to a Steve Edwards talk show

I found it very fascinating, especially the part
about being able to sleep on a book and then
remember everything in it.

Cayce was also a distance healer, which was new
to me then and so I thought it was really amazing.

His thoughts on Atlantis, though... just sounded

He has been dead a long time. So, as an admirer of history, I'm quite content for people to delve into him a bit and come to their own conclusions and they will. There is plenty of debunking material available that they will find as well as the more controversial (and the apparently highly positive) biography of him.

and you want to preclude others from making their own judgement after doing so. That is a very patronizing and demeaning attitude you are taking toward your fellow DUers--many/most who have probably never heard of him.

I have great skepticism about Cayce based on a limited reading about the man and one that was shared by people of his time. But skepticism, while healthy, is not a conclusion about him because I admittedly know little about him. But, my final judgement is not going to come from one person screaming about the idiocy of others who are merely expressing curiosity. Read my sig line and kindly consider for one damned minute your attempts to censor discussion and others' attempts to learn for themselves.

Almost as silly as believing things without a single shred of evidence. As I stated, they're free to believe whatever they want. No harm, no foul. And when that belief veers off into bizarro world, I'm equally free to point and laugh. That's how free discourse works and that's not about "winning" anything. Why you think there's something to be "won" I don't know.

So tell me....how do these unsubstantiated claims differ from the similarly evidence free claims spouted by Evangelicals? You know, talking snakes, God speaking through burning shrubbery, global floods, zombies, or that humans and dinosaurs existed together. Some are quick to discount those beliefs, yet hold others that are equally rooted in the air, i.e. no evidence. They have no problem with me pointing and laughing at Evangelicals, but goring their ox is off limits somehow? Really?

So, given you haven't read a word of what I actually wrote--including those that show agreement to some degree on this man--as well as the larger picture of the need to validate that which you label "woo" one way or the other, then I'm done with you. Start cursing again if you can't do so. I'm sure all will find that entertaining just like the patronizing attitude you show to all who even remotely disagree with you.

Either there's evidence to back up his claims or there's not. There's no middle ground here when it comes to extraordinary claims. After all this time, there's not one verifiable shred of evidence that any of his ramblings or those like him before or since are true.

And honestly, I don't care a wit what you think about me. Since you're a disembodied entity on the internet, as am I, what we think personally about each other is kind of irrelevant. But I do find it interesting you feel the need to throw that in. Also interesting is you didn't take the bait on the difference between Cayce believers and Evangelicals. How about Jehovah's Witnesses then?

Also, am I going to get the last post or are you? Now THAT'S a good question. I think I'll cede that you.

No one is predicting anything next week, much less far in the future by some mythological "gift." The veracity of anything they've written or said is purely based on probabilities. And their "pronouncements" are usually vague to the point of being worthless. Parsing such vague bullshit-ery is the equivalent of mental masturbation and about as useful. Seriously, will woo ever fucking die?

40. I get the inclincation to boil everything down to "woo"
Sun May 17, 2026, 12:13 PM
Sunday

but the other end of that is to discount every attempt to explain the unexplained as conspiracy theory or "woo." Just as some are doing now with science and that which is proven by the scientific method, including vaccines, other medical interventions, and scientific exploration.

No, I'm not saying there are not charlatans and con men using the unknown and the public's curiosity, fear, and desperation to know the future for their own grift. (Was Cayce one of those, maybe, probably--I haven't looked into him enough to know and apparently neither have many on this thread). But that said, the far end of that is the public's manipulated response by MAGA and other politicians (RFK Jr et al) to COVID-19 interventions, research, recommendations based on best prior case to a new emerging infection, and our scientific experts. Or if you, like, from history, the Catholic Church's initial response to Newton and his work on gravity and the motion of celestial bodies.

So, I do think we need to be cautious about our conflations. If we listened to all those screaming "woo" (especially with COVID-19 vaccines) even a mere five years ago, many of us might not be alive today. Just sayin...

So, do I want to see an end to "woo"? Well one person's considered "woo" may ultimately be a populations' scientifically-valid and proven outcome of an initial theory and one that will advance our knowledge to exist and thrive.

If you’re going to make a claim like what you did, it’s incumbent on you to provide the work you are citing. Here is what you said:

36. Documented as complete BS.

Who documented it?

You should have been taught in college (and it’s even taught in high school these days) that one mitigates the all inclusive, such as “complete.”

Do you even understand what such a study would entail?

You tripped yourself up with this wording.

Furthermore, there are studies that provide an understanding of such phenomena. Radin is a starting point for such work.

It goes without saying that you can’t hide behind a subjective judgment on your part to qualify what you have to do when questioned on your source/claim. Obviously, though, it has to be said because you have demonstrated you don’t know the basics of argumentation.

Mon May 18, 2026, 02:12 AM

fRump went to college. Hogsbreath, Patel, Johnson, RFK Jr. went to college. Probably every one of his cabinet members as well as every R congress person. What a demeaining question to ask of another DU'er. But let me guess, YOU went to college, didn't you. How impressive. Nothing like being the 'big tent' party, eh?

Asking someone to support the phrase “documented as complete BS” is fair enough, but credential-flexing isn’t an argument.

And citing Dean Radin as though this settles the issue is a little awkward given that parapsychology remains extremely fringe within mainstream science. You can’t simultaneously invoke “college-level standards” while leaning on research most mainstream academics remain deeply skeptical of.

There’s a difference between “some researchers explore anomalous phenomena” and “Edgar Cayce’s claims have been validated.” Those are not remotely the same thing.

55. Being a cat person I know that Edgar Cayce had a lot of interesting things to say about cats.
Sun May 17, 2026, 12:43 PM
Sunday

He essentially says that they are very spiritual beings. He said that ancient Egyptians recognized this and that is why they were very much into cats in numerous ways. They mummified their cats but not dogs (no dig on dogs intended). The fact that they protected grain stores was more or less just a bonus. They were very protective of their cats and if a person intentionally harmed or killed a cat they were subject to extreme punishment.

He also said that cats were reincarnated over and over again. When they came back they brought the experiences of their past lives with them. He said that some of their odd traits were a result of things learned in those past lives. Some cats comeback many times and become "old souls". Upon reflection, I am quite certain that I lived with one of those old souls. He had a very wide ranging personality along with all of the complicated facial expressions of a human. Over the years I can't say how many cats I have lived with. When they pass I always grieve for them. When that old soul passed, my girl friend and I cried and grieved for him for weeks. The sense of loss was profound. Finally, he said that after you have a loved cat that has passed, and you still feel their presence, it is because that they remain near you for a period before they fully pass to the spirit world.

Take what you will from all of that. Maybe I just have a good imagination. Maybe it is all pure fantasy. Maybe that is why just recently I felt the need to rescue a senior Savannah cat that had just lost its human. He was not doing well at the local animal shelter. He seems to be adjusting well to his new home.

I just recently lost an old friend that came to depend on me. He was a feral cat and no one could pet him. He was attacked by some raccoons recently and I tried to nurse him back to health. He let me get close enough to put some hydrogen peroxide on his wounds, which indeed did help them to heal. In his last days, he would rub against my legs and want to be petted. He was trying to tell me something, I am sure. I found him by my trash can, out by the alley, about two weeks ago. He was stretched out as if he was running. I told my neighbor about it, since he was familiar with him. I was going to call the Humane Society and have him cremated but my neighbor said that he would bury him in his pet graveyard in his backyard. If he does return, he will know there are some kind humans in the world.

I found him comforting. I was in a period of my life where I had recently had a home birth and that was the most meaningful thing I had done in my life before. I was looking for something to abate my terror of dying. I am a recovering Missouri Synod Lutheran. I knew that was not the answer. His conclusions made as much sense to me as smiting the first born to stop a plague or parting the red sea or an eternity in hell of you didn't live in enough fear. It was my first exposure to reincarnation. It made sense and gave me a feeling of awe, and that made more sense to me. None of us know the absolute truth of this universe or the universes. So whatever gets us through and makes us a better person (and nobody is taking advantage of us) isn't hurting anyone. Leave room in your life for wonder.

There are recent theories in quantum physics and metaphysics that our consciousness is not ours alone but part of a universal consciousness. We cannot know these things for sure and we cannot prove them. That does not necessarily mean that it is not true. Indeed, there may be a "transformation" happening which no one can describe, let alone define by facts.

Some folks laughed when they were told that the horseless carriage would someday replace the horse as the main means of transportation. They were small-minded and without imagination. There is a lot of bullshit in this world, we know for a fact. But that does not mean that everything we do not know or do not understand is bullshit.

Quantum mechanics is hard to understand and spooky.

Consciousness is hard to understand and is spooky.

So many people connect the two.

The problem with this is that we are meat organisms made by vulgar processes in an oxidizing nitrogen atmosphere at these temperatures.

Consciousness, as we experience it, requires meat. It lives in and requires a brain. There are switches you can flip to shut it off. These processes are well understood.

They do not require quantum locking at 4 Kelvin using platinum detector arrays. Consciousness is not quantum. It is too salty, too hot, to slippery, and too biological for that.

I am inclined to appreciate the idea that some God construct is an idealized and rarified awareness of the universe. It is a inoffensive and nontoxic deity that doesn't interfere in every day life.

But it isn't the domain of science.

I agree with the spirit of your post (ha, spirit). But I bristle whenever quantum mechanics is brought up alongside discussions of consciousness. They are two very separate areas of mystery that overlap pretty much only because they are mysterious.

To claim there is a force causing a psychic shift towards totalitarianism absolves us of responsibility.

The world we live is can be understood by material means. The "war" you describe is psychological and sociological and is the result of our meat bodies inventing technology that fulfills our desires faster than we can process them.

We are like lab mice dosing themselves with cocaine until they die of starvation.

It is completely explicable at the level of the individual, group, society and does not require any appeal to mysticism.

As for sleep, sleep is interesting. For example, you can be aware in a dream, but not conscious. You can have attention, but not be awake.

Most neurobiologists I know think sleep (and dreams) are fascinating but they are still materialistic. It is a feature of our "wetware". We run a screensaver and our sensory systems put on a puppet show.

121. Poe "Up Through The Spiral" 1971 Concept Albums,Psych
Sun May 17, 2026, 08:01 PM
Sunday

We have the album, 45, and the CD.

https://therisingstorm.net/poe-up-through-the-spiral/



This is a pretty good late period hard rock psych concept LP that few people know about. Poe originally were the Playboys of Edinburg, a McAllen Texas band who began releasing singles in 1965. The Playboys of Edinburg released 7 or 8 singles in various pop rock styles (garage, beat, folk-rock and hard rock) throughout the 1960’s and eventually relocated to Houston.

For this 1970/71 UNI release the Playboys of Edinburg changed their name to Poe and created this concept lp. Many of the songs were written and arranged by band members McCord and Williams. The album chronicles the life and thoughts of Edgar Cayce, a man who could put himself into some kind of self-induced sleep state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. This state of relaxation and meditation enabled him to place his mind in contact with all time and space.

No song better illustrates this theme than the great Up Up Thru The Spiral. This track opens with classic paisley guitar riffs and one of the all time great opening psych lines which refers to Cayce’s incredible ability. Up Up Thru The Spiral is also notable for a horn arrangement, distorted vocals and what sounds like tape loop experimentations. This is flat out a great psych pop track with an English sound similar to that of the Move. Other tracks like the futuristic psych of Automatic Writing, Tune In, the furious Sons of Belial, and Fallin’ Off are pretty vicious and rock hard. Fallin’ Off is more than a nod to English rock group Free, with it’s great, heavy guitar riffs, gritty vocals and sound fx explosion mid way thru the track. This song sounds like a lost classic rock radio hit and had considerable pop appeal, it’s definitely a good one! The lead off track, There Is A River reveals a strong gospel influence and has George Harrison style guitar playing and Beatlesque harmonies. Another reflective number, Debt To Pay is a really good acoustic song with sweet, sugary harmonies and a personal favorite.

This is a solid set from an unknown band who can balance soft reflective tunes with druggy, stoned hard rockers. Vinyl orginals are somewhat cheap although the album saw a cd reissue in 2006 off the Mr. Nobody record label.

I first heard the band at an ARE meet near Palestine TX.
I knew Charles Thomas Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce. I went on hikes with them and had long conversations with them. Both of them were extraordinary people.

There are a lot of places in the Cayce work that turned out to be wrong. There were a lot places where he was astounding in his revelations. I don't take any of it word for word or absolute truth, but a lot of his work has informed me in a very positive way. In the 60's we were discussing the flaws in the readings. The ARE even published books that explored the errors.

The A.R.E. organization is Edgar Cayce's own foundation for the advancement of research and enlightenment. The Cayce family is still involved however the sons of Edgar Cayce have already died. Kirk Nelson is the author who wrote the book, and his thesis connects certain Cayce readings with current conditions at the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. Nelson seems to think that things will begin to happen soon, perhaps even this year.

Who knows? I don't know, but I haven't spent a lifetime studying the readings of Edgar Cayce either. Some people do believe it.

I am the only person other than Gladys Davis, Cayce's lifelong secretary and archivist to read all of the Cayce readings in chronological order. You can watch my several videos on YouTube about Cayce. I also publish a daily website publication: www.schwartzreport.net which covers trends that will be of interest to members of this list.

I just recently watched one of your lectures and probably was the inspiration for this post.

Could you tell us more about "energy vampires"? Thank you.

151. I have read much of "his" writing.

I also read the complete Nostradamus. I didn't see much in the latter that was specific and identifiable.

Casey, OTOH, said much that was easy to follow. He gave advice on foods that people can take as medical treatments, often with good results. He didn't personally heal anyone. His answers to questions about more esoteric subjects could be just as esoteric as the subject, and most might find them useless.

I don't remember anything he said about 2026, but his comments about the future might have been more open to interpretation than his comments about castor oil.
