Who Was Edgar Cayce?
Twentieth Century Psychic and Medical Clairvoyant

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the sleeping prophet, the “father of holistic medicine,” and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic “readings” to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come. But who, exactly, was Edgar Cayce?

Cayce was born on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1877, and his psychic abilities began to appear as early as his childhood. He was able to see and talk to his late grandfathers spirit, and often played with imaginary friends whom he said were spirits on the other side. He also displayed an uncanny ability to memorize the pages of a book simply by sleeping on it. These gifts labeled the young Cayce as strange, but all Cayce really wanted was to help others, especially children.

Later in life, Cayce would find that he had the ability to put himself into a sleep-like state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. In this state of relaxation and meditation, he was able to place his mind in contact with all time and space—the universal consciousness, also known as the super-conscious mind. From there, he could respond to questions as broad as, What are the secrets of the universe? and What is my purpose in life? to as specific as, What can I do to help my arthritis? and How were the pyramids of Egypt built? His responses to these questions came to be called readings, and their insights offer practical help and advice to individuals even today.

Although Cayce died more than 60 years ago, the timeliness of the material in the readings—with subjects like how to discovering your mission in life, developing your intuition, exploring ancient mysteries, and taking responsibility for your health–is evidenced by the hundreds of books that have been written on the various aspects of this work as well as the dozen or so titles focusing on Cayces life itself. Together, these books contain information so valuable that even Edgar Cayce himself might have hesitated to predict their impact on the contemporary world. In 1945, the year of his passing, who could have known that terms such as meditation, Akashic records, spiritual growth, auras, soul mates, and holistic health would become household words to millions?

The majority of Edgar Cayce’s readings deal with holistic health and the treatment of illness. As it was at the time Cayce was giving readings, still today, individuals from all walks of life and belief receive physical relief from illnesses or ailments through information given in the readings—some readings were given as far back as 100 years ago! Yet, although best known for this material, the sleeping Cayce did not seem to be limited to concerns about the physical body. In fact, in their entirety, the readings discuss an astonishing 10,000 different topics. This vast array of subject matter can be narrowed down into a smaller group of topics that, when compiled together, deal with the following five categories: (1) Health-Related Information; (2) Philosophy and Reincarnation; (3) Dreams and Dream Interpretation; (4) ESP and Psychic Phenomena; and (5) Spiritual Growth, Meditation, and Prayer.

Further details of Cayce’s life and work are explored in the classic book, There Is a River (1942), by Thomas Sugrue, available in hardback, paperback, or audio book versions.

Members of Edgar Cayces Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), the nonprofit founded by Cayce in 1931, have access to the entire set of 14,306 readings in a database residing in the member-only section of our Web site. The readings can also be found in their entirety in our onsite library, located at our headquarters in Virginia Beach and open to the public daily.

Built with two sprawling wings connected by a center section, the home will wrap around a pool on the waterfront side.

TAMPA – Rising like an aircraft carrier under construction, the future home of New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter is taking shape on Davis Islands.

Designed with a whopping 30,875 square feet of space, the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom waterfront home dwarfs nearby mansions and could end up the largest home in Hillsborough County. It’s roughly the size of a BestBuy electronics store and twice the size of the previous No. 1 house, just across Hillsborough Bay on Bayshore Boulevard, owned by Lazydays RV SuperCenter founder Don Wallace.

Kered Connors LLC, which lists Jeter as the “sole member,” purchased adjacent waterfront lots on Davis Islands’ Bahama Circle in 2005 and 2006. (“Kered” spells “Derek” backward.) Kered Connors paid $7.7 million for the properties at Bahama Circle and Baffin Avenue.

Because it’s one of a kind and unlikely to attract many buyers besides the ultrawealthy, the market value of the home is hard to determine. Using the rough selling price of waterfront Davis Islands properties, the home itself could be worth $6.2 million to $7.7 million, depending on features.

Jeter is making $21.6 million this season with the Yankees.

“We’ve designed homes for many stars, athletes and politicians,” said Gary Hancock, an architect with Winter Park Design, which designed the home. “This is one of the most notable figures.”

Hancock declined to offer many details about the property but said the design will be English Manor style, with lots of gables and stonework. A small service shed that’s nearly complete suggests the final property could have a slate-style roof, red-brick walls and light gray stone around the windows.

Built with two sprawling wings connected by a center section, the home will wrap around a pool on the waterfront side. Two separate three-car garages on each wing flank the front yard, with a drive-through portico along the middle axis to keep the Florida summer rains off guests. Two large boat lifts now stand out in the water of Tampa Bay.

Take a good look now at the house, because Jeter is applying to city hall for a variance to build a 6-foot privacy fence, which is taller than normally allowed.

Unlike the tourist-tainted landscapes of neighbouring of Cancun and other Caribbean resorts; Santorini, Greece provides a seemingly untouched backdrop of white hills, red beaches and blue seas.

A gem of Santorini, the Ikies Traditional Houses, sits high atop the archipelago of islands in the village of Oia (pronounced E-ah). Ikies houses are divided into studios (one bedroom), maisonettes (loft bedroom), and suites. Each lodging has its own intriguing name — presumably derived from local occupations — such as artisan, boatman, collector and antiquarian.

The eleven luxury dwellings are carved out of pumice and designed to blend in with the surrounding architecture — hence “traditional houses”. The theme of bright white with a highlight of blue windows, roofs and shutters create a mesmerizing effect when pared with the Aegean’s cerulean waters and red clay cliffs.

Ikies makes brilliant use of their surroundings by perching their apartments on these cliffs, and expanding the space even further with private patios, Jacuzzis and pools, all of which are carefully crafted for viewing of Oia’s famous sunsets.

Beyond the intricately detailed infrastructure, Ikies has become renowned for its obsession with service. One satisfied review read, “Their staff lives for nothing more than to refill your cocktail. Continental breakfast, light fare and cocktails are all served to your room (or terrace or pool area). For the romantically-inclined, Ikies also offers a full service honeymoon package, with champagne breakfasts, flowers, satin sheets and the works.

With its full-service amentities and incomparable landscape, Ikies is a prime example of what this region has to offer. By L. Harper

They say it’s impossible, but what does that really mean? They say it’s impossible, but what do they know?

You can dream, you can plan, you can learn, you can think and you can do. Do you realize what a powerful position that puts you in? Do you? With it, you can transform what’s impossible into rock-solid reality. And you can start right now, where you are, with whatever you have. No more excuses.

You have value. Great value. Unique value. Something in you knows that. Listen to it. Act on it. Let it flow out from you. You have a beautiful gift to give the world, and in the giving of that gift you will enjoy sweet and satisfying fulfillment.

If you could feel exactly the way you wanted to feel, exactly how would that be? Feel it right now. Give yourself a little taste. Then get busy and fill your whole life, your whole world with that feeling that comes from the best of who you are.

Sure, it would be easier to sit around, do nothing, be comfortable, listen to the naysayers and let your beautiful, unique value go to waste. But easy is overrated. Greatness is what you deserve. Your own special greatness is waiting for you to take the risks, to do the work, to make the effort, to forget that it’s considered impossible, and to bring it gloriously to life.

We all knew the Kanye return was official after this track leaked but just to solidify it he opened up the 2010 BET Awards with dramatic performance. Unfortunately people were concerned more about the $300,000 jewelry he had on than the actual performance. Either way there shouldn’t be too much doubt that the fall/winter will belong to Mr. West as he and his G.O.O.D. music minions plan to take over the game on September 14th.

His first single from the new album just hit iTunes with some fancy new artwork by George Condo, I can’t tell if any changes have been made to the song which means there probably hasn’t been as I can usually pick up on that stuff. Enjoy.
