Fact-check note: Edgar Cayce was born March 18, 1877, and died January 3, 1945. More than 14,000 transcripts associated with his trance readings survive, and “Sleeping Prophet” became his best-known nickname. The medical diagnoses, clairvoyance, Atlantis, Akashic records, reincarnation, and soul teachings shown here represent Cayce’s reported claims and religious beliefs, not facts established by historical or scientific evidence; his psychic and medical claims were never demonstrated under rigorous controlled testing. The archive supports a teaching that spirit or soul is not male or female, but several polished quotations in the panels appear to be paraphrases rather than traceable verbatim readings.
