Edgar Cayce was born near Hopkinsville, KY, on March 18, 1877. Cayce was known as a psychic and a faith healer. For over 40 years of his life, Cayce would lie down on a couch with his hands folded over his stomach and enter a self-induced sleep-state. In this state he would be given the name and location of a person anywhere in the world and he would give answers to any question asked about that person. He called the answers "readings" and a stenographer would write them down, keep a copy for Cayce's files, and mail another to the person who had requested the information. Cayce numbered the readings instead of using names, and he never charged for them. There are more than 14,000 copies of readings on file at the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach, VA. Think about it: Cayce averaged a reading a day for 40 years. That is incredible, considering the readings took at least a half-hour each and drained Cayce mentally and physically. The readings discuss 10,000 topics, and range from ESP to the lost civilization of Atlantis.
