Reads like a self-help book written by a cult member. Zero insight into ESP or anything paranormal. Went in with an interest in Edgar Cayce, left feeling like he had been exposed as a fraud. It was written in 1969 and his world prophecies haven't aged well. His ideas on diet are interesting, but you can find a chart about it on the internet instead of reading this book.

Sì è un libro interessante, ma le premesse "and shows you how to use them to achieve a happier life" sono completamente disattese.
In realtà parla più di Cayce e delle sue opere, e tutto tendenzialmente ruota attorno al cristianesimo.

A good look into the often confusing Cayce readings by people who knew or almost knew him personally.

The first ¼ I found useful for my own paranormal suspense writings, but I skipped over most of the readings of individuals in the middle.

I love the subject matter but the writing is boring for such an exciting subject. I need to see if there's a more modern book written about this fascinating man.

I read /Edgar Cayce on ESP/. Fascinating subject.

Reading Edgar Cayce books can often be interesting because even if you choose to read on a particular subject—such as dreams, past lives, etc.—information will often end up overlapping. I’ve read a few books on him by now and was glad to find that this book had info I hadn’t yet encountered. I suppose that makes sense since I’d never focused on ESP—or the ways that Edgar Cayce can be said to be using ESP—per se. The book enlightened on topics such as the universal mind, the akashic records, auras, psychic development, precognition and prophecy, and dreams.
However as enlightening as the book was, I was also thrown off by some of the things I read. Apparently, according to some of the readings he gave, Edgar Cayce stated that Mary and Jesus were of the Essene community; which is definitely thought-provoking if not just plain inaccurate—depending on what your beliefs are concerning the Holy Family. While I don’t doubt that Edgar Cayce did help people through his gift, such erroneous information (or at least perceived to be erroneous, since that's information that hasn't been, and may never become, provable) could naturally make one question what else he may have been misled about. However, the book still sheds useful information that, if nothing else, is worthy of further exploration.

Admittedly, the fourth star of my rating has more to do with the fact that I discovered this among my grandfather's things and it was very interesting to read a book written in his day that he considered a favorite, than the substance of the material itself. I liked it. I found it very interesting and it correlated with my own personal philosophies on the nature of the subconscious and the spiritual. A lot of it was not unlike some of C.G. Jung's work as well.

I do agree with other reviewers that the author clearly admired Cayce and may therefore be heavily biased in relating the phenomena of ESP. However, I did not find the book to be a purely Cayce hero-worship story and it was certainly worth reading despite the subjectively high praise given to Cayce. All in all worth reading if you are at all interested in ESP and psychic phenomena.

"A life of service and prayer is the only one to live."

I just had an epiphany and realized my soul's purpose right when I finished reading this book.
