The Enigmatic Edgar Cayce and His Startling Predictions
Edgar Cayce, known as the "Sleeping Prophet", astounded the world with his purported psychic and healing abilities. But it was his ominous and terrifying predictions about Earth changes, world wars, and the lost civilization of Atlantis that truly capture our imagination. In this post, we analyze Cayce’s prophecies and explore what lessons his life’s work may hold.
The Mysterious Sleeping Prophet
Edgar Cayce was born in 1877 in Kentucky, where even as a child he displayed unique talents. He found that by sleeping on his school textbooks, he could absorb their full content flawlessly. This miraculous method saw the struggling student become one of the most brilliant in his class. However, it was a life-threatening illness at age 22 that unlocked Cayce’s full abilities. After doctors said his condition was hopeless, Cayce allegedly healed himself through hypnosis suggestions.
Astoundingly, Cayce found he could induce psychic trances that enabled medical diagnoses and eventually prophecies. Over 14,000 “Cayce readings” were documented in meticulous records. Major historical events like WWII, JFK’s death, and even personal information was revealed while Cayce was in a deep sleep. Such accurate insights could simply not be explained through fraud or coincidence. But it was Cayce’s future prophecies and connection to Atlantis that prove most chilling.
The Lost Civilization of Atlantis
Cayce provides astonishingly precise descriptions of the advanced Atlantean civilization centuries before Plato’s writings on Atlantis were discovered. He depicts highly advanced technology, flying crafts, and health practices beyond modern understanding. Disturbingly, Cayce attributes the fall of Atlantis around 10,000 BC to the overuse of their advanced energy-harnessing crystals. This abuse of power unleashed deadly weapons that led to the continent’s demise.
Modern satellite imaging shows geometric underwater structures near Bimini in the Caribbean almost exactly where Cayce claimed Atlantis would be found. Architectural dimensions match Cayce’s descriptions precisely. Pieces of man-made materials have also been dredged up showing evidence of an ancient advanced people. Cayce paints Atlantis as the “first cradle of mankind”, where souls first inhabited physical human bodies, evolving into an advanced race. While established historical proof still eludes us, Cayce’s depiction must make us wonder what other secrets remain hidden or lost to time.
Foreboding Pole Shift Predictions
By far the most worrying of Cayce’s precognitions involved drastic Earth changes from a magnetic pole shift. This would trigger global destruction including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and a terrifying 90+ degree tilt in Earth’s axis. Such claims seemed utterly unfathomable, if not absurd, during Cayce’s time. But scientists now have measurable proof that pole shifts have occurred regularly throughout Earth’s history and crust displacement is possible within our lifetime.
Cayce gave numerous readings from the 1920s to 1940s regarding a future shift occurring around 1998. He warned of almost complete global destruction but gave hope of pockets of survivors in various safe locations that would enable civilization to go on. As the year 1998 passed uneventfully, Cayce supporters maintain that his prophecies still stand, only the dates were misconstrued.
Whatever your position may be, scientific evidence of previous historic shifts cannot be ignored. We know the poles have reversed many times before and such an event today would mean catastrophes beyond imagination. Should we not at least consider dire scenarios like a pole shift within our lifetime? And whether his prophecies prove true or not, Cayce selflessly dedicated his life to bettering humanity rather than personal gain.
Mind-boggling World Predictions
Beyond Atlantis and Earth changes, Cayce made startlingly accurate world predictions decades before they occurred:
-
Foretold the 1929 Stock Market crash years in advance as well as WWII
-
Predicted the 1930s Dust Bowl crisis crippling American agriculture
-
Envisioned the Alliance between the US, UK and Russia against Hitler
-
Saw the collapse of the USSR and end of Communist rule in Russia
-
Depicted discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumran caves years prior
-
Warned of coming World War III that would begin “in the areas around the Persian Gulf”
Cayce even diagnosed patients’ illnesses across the globe while asleep, recommending effective treatments outside mainstream medicine. After centuries as primitive healing methods, modern research has concluded Cayce’s holistic remedies stood on medical truth.
Shocking Future World Map Changes
Cayce described other mind-boggling geographical changes for major parts of the world:
Asia:
- Much of China’s coastline being pushed inland
- Japan sinking into the sea
- The Gobi desert becoming fertile land
Africa and Europe:
- Africa divides into three parts from Egypt downward
- Northern Europe sinking below current coastlines
North America:
- The US east and Gulf coasts pushed 500 miles west
- California coastline area sinks except for small islands
- Most of Japan sinks below the sea
- A new waterway splits the US in two
Russia:
- Cut off from Europe by an inland sea after drastic Earth changes
- Becoming world’s new “Breadbasket” – supplying food to Europe
Such predictions defy normal imagination. But scientific evidence proves massive Earth changes have happened repeatedly before. Major past climate shifts saw ice caps melt, seaways open and close, and dramatic movements of continents continue today. Cayce supporters maintain future changes are still inevitable despite inaccurate dates like 1998. Mainstream science is increasingly observing unstable changes in Earth’s magnetic field, weather, and geological disturbances that should give us all pause.
The Enigma of Edgar Cayce
In the end, the enigmatic Edgar Cayce, whether genuine psychic or not, dedicated his life to public service rather than selfish pursuits. His remedies healed and readings gave hope to thousands of despairing people when medicine failed them. Cayce asked only for donations to fund hospital treatments rather than enriching himself.
If Cayce proves right, we face unimaginable Earth changes and human suffering in our lifetimes. Whether his prophecies stand true through errors in dates or interpretations remains to be seen. But we find value in Cayce‘s tale by awakening our consciousness to mankind’s ties to lost civilizations and ancient mysteries. We must keep preparing rather than ignorance and denial to cataclysmic threats that can reshape our world overnight. And we should draw inspiration from Cayce’s lifelong dedication to his fellow man.
