About this title

Synopsis

Edgar Cayce's sons examined the 15 percent of their father's readings in which he was wrong. This book looks at what those "misses" can tell us about the nature and limit of Cayce's power, and perhaps, about the nature of all psychic ability.

From the Back Cover

When Edgar Cayce died in 1945, he left a written legacy of more than 14,000 psychic "readings," many of which included treatments for a wide variety of illnesses and injuries or startling prophecies for the United States and the world. The passage of more than five decades and rapid developments in medical research have shown that Cayce had an estimated accuracy rate of an amazing 85 percent. Those "hits" have been sifted and analyzed at length in an effort to understand what he did and how he did it.

But what about the other 15 percent, the times when Cayce was unable to get information or the information was wrong? What can those "misses" tell us about the nature and limits of Cayce's psychic abilities -- and perhaps about the nature of psychic ability in general?

To answer those questions, Cayce's sons closely examined both the circumstances and subjects of these less-than-successful readings. The result of their investigation is an enlightening look at the readings that frustrated and confused their father and at Cayce's unflagging commitment -- even in the face of apparent failure -- to use his astonishing psychic gift to help others.
