PanelIntroduction

SceneA black-and-white portrait of Cayce is surrounded by galaxies, pyramids, and stars.

Text
A humble man with an extraordinary gift. He said he was just a conduit… the source was far greater.
Known as the ‘Sleeping Prophet,’ Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 psychic readings while in a self-induced trance. His insights touched on health, reincarnation, Atlantis, dreams, and the nature of the soul itself.
PanelA trance like no other

SceneCayce lies on a couch in a trance against a swirling cosmic background.

I am not the doer… I merely allow the subject to be aware.
PanelThe soul has no sex

SceneA man and woman face a luminous androgynous spirit figure.

The divided forces of male and female are one in the heavenly state.
PanelWe choose our lifetimes

SceneA sequence of figures depicts a soul passing through male and female lives into old age.

A man today may be a woman tomorrow, and vice versa. All is experience for the soul.

SceneA lotus, Om symbol, submerged ruins, and stars evoke reincarnation and Atlantis.

PanelA legacy that endures

SceneAn older Cayce appears before a star field.

Text
Decades after his death, people still seek wisdom from the Sleeping Prophet.
Truth is not known by belief, but by experience.

Fact-check note: Edgar Cayce was born March 18, 1877, and died January 3, 1945. More than 14,000 transcripts associated with his trance readings survive, and “Sleeping Prophet” became his best-known nickname. The medical diagnoses, clairvoyance, Atlantis, Akashic records, reincarnation, and soul teachings shown here represent Cayce’s reported claims and religious beliefs, not facts established by historical or scientific evidence; his psychic and medical claims were never demonstrated under rigorous controlled testing. The archive supports a teaching that spirit or soul is not male or female, but several polished quotations in the panels appear to be paraphrases rather than traceable verbatim readings.
