Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most-documented psychic of all time. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, offering advice for healing the body, mind, and spirit. In 1931, he founded the nonprofit Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) from which A.R.E. Press was formed.
