Since childhood, I've always been interested in the paranormal and how the universe really worked. A big part of the reason I studied physics was
just to learn about the nature of time and the universe.
Through the millennia there have been those who've claimed to have the ability to look into the future and see coming events. Some have been as far reaching and prolific as Nostradamus, but the visions of many have been much more mundane. The first person I was truly interested in learning more about was psychic Edgar Cayce.
Cayce did much more than just predict the future. He helped pioneer the study of paranormal activity and the Edgar Cayce Association For Research and Enlightenment is to this day one of the most respected centers for paranormal research in the world.
He was known as the sleeping prophet because he made his predictions while in the middle of a hypnotic trance. He claimed to have knowledge of Atlantis and predicted that one day it would be found. He provided more than 14,000 readings, but said he rarely remembered anything he said. Like all soothsayers, Cayce has his critics and has been called a charlatan on more than one occasion.
The truth about Edgar Cayce may never be known, but some of his predictions have come true and other have not. As any psychic will tell you, their abilities are never 100 percent perfect all the time. Cayce died in 1945, but his readings and teachings still make up some of the most valuable resources in psychic and paranormal investigation.
