Edgar Cayce

Postby The United Soviet Socialist Republic » Sat Sep 01, 2012 7:33 pm

As the title should say, this is a thread discussing the "Sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce. He predicted what foods sick people should eat, made readings on past lives, made pyscic readings on Atlantis and reincarnation, so on so on. He was a pyscic who had a lot of media publicity in after 1920 and kept it until his death. He founded a foundation called the A.R.E (Association of Reasearch and Enlightenment) and its main building is in Virginia Beach where Edgar Cayce died. What do you think of him NSG? I think he was a good person, helped lots of people. Its hard to dislike sombody who helped heal the sick. YOUR opinion NSG?

Presumably his psychic readings on Atlantis didn't, however.

And neither did the horseshit surrounding "past lives".

Seriously, pull the other one. It's got bells on.

I'm afraid charlatans like him make me angry, because, at best, they are taking advantage of vulnerable people. Which ought to be offensive to anyone that has sense. And, sadly, you had previously struck me as such a person.

I dont lie for financial gain, and neither did Cayce. He never once charged for his readings.

So, what, he died a poor man?

I'm sorry, liars are liars. And Edgar Cayce is a liar. A clever and cunning liar, but a liar nonetheless.

Anyone who claims to talk to people with past lives is a liar.

Or dangerously delusional. Seriously delusional.

Atlantis never existed.

No he had a job other than readings.

Maybe he geinuinely belived what he said? Of course the majority of people who had readings from Cayce were happy with it. Many became better, happier people from Cayce's readings. Even if it wasnt true they made people happy. Also was, Edgar Cayce is long dead.

Doctors didnt think he had mental problems.

It might have nobody knows.

He demonstrably had mental issues. From his very mouth, he had mental issues, if he believed in what he was doing was true. Unless he was a liar. Which he, basically, was.

And "helping people" is no comeback. Lying to people "for their own good" is not a good thing. It is disgusting and predatory. It is abusing people who are vulnerable, pure and simple. Fooling people so that they are happier is monstrous, as it means they can't come to terms with what has happened.

At least, in my experience at least.
