Zusammenfassung: | Edgar Cayce, widely acclaimed clairvoyant and forerunner of the holistic health movement, is revealed here as a pivotal figure in the transition from the esoteric and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth century to the New Age movement. This book describes and evaluates his psychic "readings," more than 14,000 trance discourses that address medical, theological, historical, and psychological concerns raised by thousands of inquirers. The author evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability in the subject areas emphasized by the readings. Cayce's medical and psychological advice is shown to be well ahead of his time in many respects, and his spiritual teachings are appraised as a reconciliation of Protestant mysticism with New Thought and Theosophy. Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective. -- Provided by publisher |

The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective. -- Provided by publisher</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Cayce, Edgar,</subfield><subfield code="d">1877-1945.</subfield><subfield code="t">Edgar Cayce readings.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84748503</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Cayce, Edgar,</subfield><subfield code="d">1877-1945.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023104</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Cayce, Edgar,</subfield><subfield code="d">1877-1945</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="630" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Edgar Cayce readings (Cayce, Edgar)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Parapsychology.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108405</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Clairvoyance.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85026536</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Medicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85083150</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Parapsychology</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010268</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Parapsychologie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Voyance.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Médecine magique, mystique et spagirique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BODY, MIND & SPIRIT</subfield><subfield code="x">Parapsychology</subfield><subfield code="x">ESP (Clairvoyance, Precognition, Telepathy)</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Clairvoyance</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Medicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Parapsychology</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Edgar Cayce in context (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCH6cqFHQq3c4JGrmQfwW8P</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Johnson, K.

Albany, N.Y. : State University of New York Press, ©1998. 1 online resource (xi, 178 pages :) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier SUNY series in Western esoteric traditions Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-166) and index. Edgar Cayce, widely acclaimed clairvoyant and forerunner of the holistic health movement, is revealed here as a pivotal figure in the transition from the esoteric and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth century to the New Age movement. This book describes and evaluates his psychic "readings," more than 14,000 trance discourses that address medical, theological, historical, and psychological concerns raised by thousands of inquirers. The author evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability in the subject areas emphasized by the readings. Cayce's medical and psychological advice is shown to be well ahead of his time in many respects, and his spiritual teachings are appraised as a reconciliation of Protestant mysticism with New Thought and Theosophy. Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective. -- Provided by publisher Print version record. Cayce, Edgar, 1877-1945.
