A Warm Personal Glimpse into Edgar Cayce and His Times,
By
This review is from: My Life With Edgar Cayce (Hardcover)
Always interested in knowing more about America's most famous psychic and also appreciating stories I can add to the storehouse of anecdotes that I can deliver during my lectures, I especially looked forward to David E. Kahn's My Life with Edgar Cayce because Kahn not only knew Cayce and his family personally from the early 100s but also received many trance readings from the prolific seer on personal, career, health, and financial matters.In addition, Kahn, who achieved great financial success by following the information that came through Cayce from "the forces," also sent thousands of people, including leaders in government, industry, and entertainment, to receive their own psychic readings. Furthermore, because Cayce's readings are all numbered to preserve the anonymity of the recipient of the reading, I always enjoy learning some of the names associated with the readings especially for the major players in the Cayce saga. Some of them are relatively easy to figure out in his book. I had always wondered just what occurred to hamper the discovery of oil in a certain location in Texas as predicted by Cayce's trance source. Kahn, who was there, tells the story of stolen tools and granite blocks dropped into the drill holes. I also found it intriguing to learn the way Cayce's readings were interpreted during his lifetime. Cayce died in 1945 and, although he was well-known in the US, his world-wide popularity did not grow until recently. There are now lectures and study groups available to people all over the world, and also many books written about him. Therefore, I found it especially interesting to read about Cayce's non-trance ideas of the meaning of the information that came through him while he was in trance. For example, Cayce's psychic source said that Kahn would be successful in financial enterprises involving "wood and metal." What does that mean, I wondered. The lumber industry? The product is wood but the means of producing it requires metal. It turned out that Kahn interpreted it to mean the furniture business. The book provides descriptions of letters exchanged between the psychic and the financier. Or, in any case, when he received an offer to work in the furniture industry, he felt confident that this was his correct path. I wondered, would I have interpreted a reading given for me--if I had been fortunate enough to have received a reading--as accurately as Kahn did? How different it must have been to have known Cayce before he had a huge organization around his teachings as there is now at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Although this is not a biography in the same sense that There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce or Edgar Cayce: The Sleeping Prophet or Edgar Cayce: Mystery Man of Miracles, this book really gives you a glimpse into the real Edgar Cayce written by a man who knew him well. by Carol Chapman, photographer of Divine in Nature: With Quotes from Edgar Cayce and author of When We Were Gods: Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening.
