I knew about his "predictions" but not much... Certainly not that he specifically had something to say about 2026. But, yes, the guy did have a lot to say that was quite thought-provoking and during his life, apparently had a lot of impact on those who "followed" him.

Do you have a link to his 2026 comments?

It's located in easterm Virginia, near Virginia Beach, because Cayce said it would be a secure area as the oceans rise and climate changes.

I get that the local areas are taking it seriously and trying to implement some flooding and related interventions to protect low-lying areas, but...

It's simply what I read when I was delving into Cayce and the ARE. It was located with awareness of dire changes on the way.

Nice to have you here.

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.

probably isn't true. Watched him on Leonard Nimoy's show back in the day. I confess I found him more plausible when I was a teenager, same with Chariots of the Gods and cryptozoology.

The show, as I recall, was about him.

Jeezus...

No need to get vexed, btw.

Umm, it's not true. Cayce was a magical thinker and a bit of a con. If anything he wrote or said turns out to be correct, it's the broken clock principle.

It is in the Akashic records.

You have him confused with someone else because Edgar Cayce died in 1945.

over the years. His was a fascinating life and some of his readings were extraordinary.

I use his …I’ll call it ‘dreaming with intentions’…before I sleep I’ll think about the problem and let myself be open to any ideas that …(laughing now)…I can dream up.

I always keep a notepad and pen bedside…have for years…to jot down anything I remember, especially objects that seem to be outstanding. I have worked out some things this way.

I’m foggy on all his techniques but it’s very interesting. Some if I remember correctly has to do with the Akashic Record…the original ’cloud’ storage for knowledge.

I'm a very lucid dreamer - can remember multiple dreams from the night before and many from years ago. Every now and then I try to use the dreaming time to resolve a problem - nudging my dream consciousness into the problem solving direction. Have to be careful not to be too "conscious" or I'll wake all the way up.

There are times it’s a new reality. I have had those dreams all my life and interestingly enough they seemed to mature right along with me…not a past or a future, just now in a different realm.

... would be called a "Reckoning". It will affect all of humanity. There will be a worldwide transformation. There will be trials and tribulations and catastrophic calamities which will be rebuilt into a better world.

I was listening to a Steve Edwards talk show
and the guest was Hugh Lynn Cayce who
talked about his father extensively.

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
like the same ole racist shit that southerners like.

I was really immersed in him & his readings during my 20s. I still think there is something to it. I'll have to go back and read them again. He led a very interesting life.

but actually an extra large.

LOL

by an earthquake in 1936, which I don’t believe happened.

Kinda going out there on a limb, eh Cayce?

Edgar Case was a scam artist.
I read some of his stuff when I was younger, but then and I grew up and found out there were no little green men, crop circles, Atlantis, any of that crap.

This junk is a waste of time

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.

I wonder if Trump will be thought of similarly 80 years from now? Please. A con is a con. There's nothing of any value there.

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.

Grown adults believing fairytales kind of does that to me. They're free to do as they like. I'm free to look at it as batshit crazy.

Evidence. That's the key. After all these years, there is no solid evidence that Cayce or anyone like him before or since was on to something and not completely full of shit. None. Nada. Zip. No evidence. Get it?

But it does show your desperation to win an argument sans facts as someone downstream asked for your evidence specifically on an assertion you were making. So, on that score you are no better than the "woo-proponents." And, no cursing doesn't help your cause.

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?

and probably read them aloud to yourself repeatedly for the reassurance.

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.

In some of the famous cases, they might not be so much a con artist as delusional. And "marks" are easy to find.

Was Paul (Saul of Tarsus) a con man? And - even if you so judge - you're going to try to ram that assessment down the throat of all others ? Cool man!

And so is RFK Jr I suppose?

Evidence please. Verified evidence that he "healed" anyone. You make the claims. You come up with the evidence. Until then, it's bullshit.

That’s a part of the process of learning. Ignorance usually displays itself with ridicule, ad
hominem attacks and cussing.

That’s not how this works! Can you prove I haven’t “healed” anyone? Or that Thor IS NOT the source of lightening and thunder. See the problem there?

Explore all you want. But don’t call it true without evidence. And for extraordinary claims, strong evidence.

I was fascinated by the occult.

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?

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.

But it's good to have hypotheses as long as their not preached as some gospel.

At least no rational person.
"Woo" is believing in prophets or crystals or chakras. Woo describes those things that are presented as true with no evidence. Like Cayce.

ETA: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence

with COVID-19. And now the lead vaccine denier is in charge of public health for this country.

Where the HELL have YOU been? No, what you are stating is demonstrably untrue. Given I have had to deal with these idiots and the tragic aftermath in numerous cases over the past many years, I damned well know. That is ONE naively undertaken debate you will NEVER win.

We must be at war in the middle east.

in your philosophy."

"Hamlet". Act 1 Scene 5.

Lack of evidence is far from evidence of lack.

You can post anything and no one can comment?

Does not work that way.

I grew up with this crap. There is nothing to it, and it is a waste of time.

That is not an opinion. It is a proven, scientific fact. Astrology, Creation science , flat earth, Etc., is just not true.

You get to think what ever you want, but so do I

the name of the source who documented Cayce as all BS? A link would be helpful as well.

Thanks.

Is Los Angeles still around?

Remember in 1998 when Jesus came back?

China is the largest Christian country in the world, yes?

eom

.... I have no excuse. When it comes to Astral projection, I can only Hume and haw.

Well done.

I'm not the one making the crazy claims. Extraordinary claims demand evidence. Is there any? If not, it's complete bullshit. But it's a free country. One can believe all the bullshit they want. And I am free to point and laugh.

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.

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.

You’re arguing from the failures. Both of you are in the failure camp. You failed to master what you were taught.

Second, you just showed you don’t know what Radin says in his books. He finds the defects in scientific research studying this phenomena.

The arguments made on this thread are so defective that I will no longer waste my time with them. Huff ‘n puff all you want. I won’t be reading.

Not a very effective technique.

You are. I’m merely stating there is no conclusive proof from any reputable source that confirms the claims. Since you’re making the claims, the burden of proof is on you. Not on the one stating there are is no conclusive evidence. And the source you claim is neither reputable or conclusive. See how that works? Did you learn those basic concepts in college? Perhaps not.

Telling that you found it necessary to make a personal attack. Very telling.

People took his random symbolism and applied them to past events. Never has someone foreseen an event based on a Nostradamus quatrain.

One could only hope to have such a loyal following.

way back in the 70's. Went with a friend who was really into his writings. I found it interesting but don't remember much else.

...with his explanations about humanity, about good vs evil, about a transformation that is coming. In my opinion, we are always looking to define and understand the crisis we are experiencing. His explanations, just speaking for myself, offer some comfort in believing that this is a transformational period and that we will survive for the better. You can believe what you want about good vs evil, but there is a negative static within the force of humanity. We want to believe we can defeat it and come out for the better. It is about humanity.

with the underlying consciousness of the universe. Tesla believed all creation was a vibration and energy. Those large towers he build were not to transmit electricity but to resonate at the underlying frequency of the universe. Be careful what your thoughts are as you go to sleep.

I was dead asleep...

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.

right to me and told me that we were friends. He was terribly beat up and undernourished. I nursed him back to health and he lived another three years as a very happy cat. I was glad I could make his later years full of love, cat food and a warm bed.

Magic is not.

Mr. Cayce has been falsified many times over by his own predictions.

When I retire, I'm me.

It could certainly still be a planet if you wanted to remember Haumea, Makemake, Ceres, and Eris on your list.

But the general consensus was to be more stringent in our definitions.

Kinda like how whales are fish.

Because, as you're doubtless are aware, whales are fish.


Edit: I'm not being snide. Whales can be considered fish by a strict, very scientific definition.

Definitions aren't science. Science is a process to generate predictions.

Editing to correct

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.

I've been around long enough to know how much I don't know.

That said, Edgar Cayce was a quiet, humble man who did not give readings to benefit himself. Also he was remarkably accurate about so many things.

the closest to being the real deal.

some nutty relatives were into him so I figured he was a nutball, fraud, and/or con man. sometimes you can draw conclusions without delving into the actual bullshit. saves time LOL

I've never heard of him but I intend to look him up.

There is value in lucid dreaming and I have found it helpful and comforting.

I would chose to hitch my wagon to Carl Jung’s beliefs, sans the woo.

I love him!

I first heard of him when I moved to L.A. in '88 and discovered The Bodhi Tree Bookstore (R.I.P.).

I've been reading about him and watching videos about him for years.

Thanks for your post!

thought provoking.

i however, have not.

no thank you, I prefer Science.
