Edgar Cayce (pronounced Casey) is known as one of America's greatest psychics. His followers maintain that Cayce was able to tap into a higher consciousness, such as god or the akashic records, to get his "psychic knowledge."

Cayce was known as "the sleeping prophet" because he would close his eyes and appear to go into a trance when he did his readings. At his death, he left thousands of accounts of past life and medical readings. A stenographer took notes during his sessions and some 30,000 transcripts of his readings are under the protection of the Association for Research and Enlightenment

It is true that many people considered themselves cured by Cayce and that's enough evidence for true believers.
