I got started with SVP in this library in April, 1984. It was an amazing time of rediscovery. Finding Keely and His Discoveries book on a shelf there set my feet on the path I would follow to this day. [Dale Pond]

TEXT OF READING 294-185
I had been born again in 2158 A.D. in Nebraska. the sea apparently covered all of the western part of the country, as the city where I lived was on the coast. The family name was a strange one. At an early age as a child I declared myself to be Edgar Cayce who had lived 200 yrs. before. Scientists, men with long beards, little hair, and thick glasses, were called in to observe me. They decided to visit the places where I said I had been born, lived and worked, in Ky., Ala., N.Y., Mich., and Va. Taking me with them the group of scientists visited these places in along, cigar-shaped, metal flying ship which moved at high speed. Water covered part of Ala. Norfolk, Va. had become an immense seaport. N.Y. had been destroyed either by war or an earthquake and was being rebuilt. Industries were scattered over the countryside. Most of the houses were of glass. Many records of my work as Edgar Cayce were discovered and collected. The group ret'd to Nebraska taking the records with them to study.
(A) These experiences, as has oft been indicated, come to the body in those manners in which there may be help, strength, for periods when doubt or fear may have arisen. As in this experience, there were about the entity those influences which appeared to make for such a record of confusion as to appear to the material or mental-minded as a doubting or fearing of those sources that made for the periods through which the entity was passing in that particular period.
And the vision was that there might be strength, there might be an understanding that though the moment may appear as dark, though there may be periods of the misinterpreting of purposes, even THESE will be turned into that which will be the very proof itself in the experiences of the entity and those whom the entity might, whom the entity would in its experience through the earth plane, help; and those to whom the entity might give hope and understanding.
This then is the interpretation. As has been given, 'Fear not.' Keep the faith; for those that be with thee are greater than those that would hinder. Though the very heavens fall, though the earth shall be changed, though the heavens shall pass, the promises in Him are sure and will stand - as in that day - as the proof of thy activity in the lives and hearts of those of thy fellow man.
For indeed and in truth ye know, "As ye do it unto thy fellow man, ye do it unto thy God, to thyself." For, SELF effaced, God may indeed glorify thee and make thee STAND as one that is called for a purpose in the dealings, the relationships with thy fellow man.
Be not unmindful that He is nigh unto thee in every trial, in every temptation, and hath not willed that thou shouldest perish.
Make thy will then one with His. Be not afraid.
That is the interpretation. That the periods from the material angle as visioned are to come to pass matters not to the soul, but do thy duty TODAY! TOMORROW will care for itself.
These changes in the earth will come to pass, for the time and times and half times are at an end, and there begin those periods for the readjustments. For how hath He given? "The righteous shall inherit the earth."
Hast thou, my brethren, a heritage in the earth?

Edgar Cayce was born on March 18, 1877, near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, into a poor farming family. From the very beginning, he was unlike other children. While other kids ran and played, Edgar preferred to sit quietly with his Bible, reading and reflecting deeply on its stories. He often wandered alone into the woods, where he claimed to see and converse with spirits, including what he called the little folk, beings that seemed like fairies. He also reported visits from the spirit of his late grandfather, experiences that nurtured his early sense of wonder and connection to the unseen.
When Edgar was ten, a traveling minister visited his home and gifted him a special Bible. Inside was a guide on how to read the Bible in a year. Edgar took the instructions seriously and began to follow them faithfully. Over the next three years, he read the Bible thirteen times, absorbing its lessons in a way few could imagine. By the time he was thirteen, he had read it once for every year of his life. His deep understanding of scripture soon led him to teach Sunday school, sharing with other children the lessons and stories that had become central to his own life.
It was also at thirteen that Edgar had a transformative vision in the forest. While sitting alone, reading his Bible, he saw a woman with wings. She asked him what he most desired in life. Without hesitation, he said he wanted to help others, especially sick children. This vision marked the beginning of a lifelong mission to bring healing and guidance to those in need.
Shortly after this experience, Edgar faced a challenge at school. His father received a letter complaining about Edgar’s poor academic performance. In frustration, he tested his son on spelling and, angered by the results, knocked him out of his chair. Lying on the floor, ears ringing, Edgar said he again heard the voice of the winged woman. She told him to rest his head on his schoolbook and go to sleep. When he awoke, he had absorbed the contents of the book and could recite it word for word. From that day on, he studied by sleeping on his books and soon became the top student in his class, even skipping a grade. His parents began to realize that their son was far from ordinary.
As a boy, Edgar also suffered a serious spinal injury while playing. That night, he recited instructions for a remedy in his sleep, which his parents prepared. By morning, he was fully healed. Later, as a young man, he developed severe laryngitis that no doctor could cure. He sought the help of a hypnotist, entered a trance, and discovered that his condition was a form of psychological paralysis. Following instructions to focus on increasing blood flow to his throat, he awoke fully healed. These early experiences foreshadowed the extraordinary abilities that would define his life.
In adulthood, Edgar discovered that he could enter a self-induced trance, a state resembling deep sleep. While in this state, he could answer questions about physical illness, dreams, spiritual matters, past lives, history, and prophecy. These sessions, which he called readings, became the foundation of his work for more than forty years. During that time, he gave over fourteen thousand trance readings. Many were carefully recorded and preserved by his assistants and secretaries, especially Gladys Davis. Her meticulous notes and dedication were essential to organizing his work and ensuring it could be studied by future generations.
Edgar married Gertrude Evans, and together they had three children. Their eldest, Hugh Lynn Cayce, grew up to become a central figure in preserving his father’s legacy. Hugh Lynn organized and expanded the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the organization Edgar founded to maintain his readings and promote his teachings. He authored books on spiritual development and holistic health and worked tirelessly to ensure the material was accessible and thoroughly documented. Through his leadership, the A.R.E. became a globally recognized center for spiritual study and holistic living.
Known as the Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce attracted people from all walks of life, from ordinary families to celebrities. He offered remedies for physical ailments, advice for spiritual growth, and insights into personal and world affairs. Though he had no formal medical training, his readings emphasized the unity of body, mind, and spirit, anticipating modern holistic approaches to health. He recommended diet changes, natural remedies, lifestyle adjustments, and practices to balance emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Writers and researchers helped bring his story to a wider audience. Jess Stearn, a journalist and author, played a key role in popularizing Cayce. Stearn’s biography presented him as a visionary whose readings spanned health, spiritual growth, past lives, and prophecy. Through Stearn’s storytelling, Cayce’s life reached broad audiences and inspired countless people to explore their own spiritual potential.
Cayce’s readings covered thousands of topics, including meditation, dream interpretation, reincarnation, historical mysteries such as Atlantis, and future possibilities. He encouraged people to seek guidance within themselves through prayer, meditation, and intuition, teaching that spiritual connection was central to health and fulfillment.
In the final days of his life, Edgar Cayce demonstrated the same prophetic insight that had guided him for decades. He predicted that he would be buried in four days. On January 3, 1945, he suffered a stroke and passed away just three days later. His prediction had nearly come true. Even in death, his life seemed touched by the extraordinary, leaving behind a legacy of spiritual wisdom, healing, and inspiration.
Edgar Cayce’s work continued through the efforts of his family, secretaries, and the Association for Research and Enlightenment. His life, marked by mystical visions, extraordinary healing abilities, and a devotion to helping others, remains a source of inspiration for those seeking deeper meaning, spiritual growth, and holistic well-being.
