Character experience, edgar cayce.

Edgar cayce was born on1March, 8771August, and his childhood was an active period of Christian reform. The county where Hopkinsville is located is called Christian County. A strong religious atmosphere influenced his life: in his early years, he decided to read the Bible from beginning to end every year, determined to become a missionary who could help people cure diseases. Of course, no one could have imagined how his ideal would be realized at that time.

When he was six or seven years old, he told his parents that he could see an "illusion" and he could talk to them. One of the "visions" is his grandfather. They talked with little Kathy about many things, including the civil war, Egypt and Persia. Many things even his parents don't have this knowledge. But in most cases, his parents think that this is just the child's imagination. At the age of ten, I began to be fascinated by the Bible, reading tirelessly and praying devoutly. At the age of thirteen, he saw a "phantom" that affected his life: an angel appeared in front of him and asked him what he wanted to do most in his life. Little Kathy said that what she wants to do most is to help others, especially sick children.

Soon after, little Kathy showed the ability that can't be explained by "children's imagination": he only needs to sleep in the textbook for a while, and he can have all the memories of all the contents of that book. It has been found that whether it is a textbook, a book or a document-its content is beyond the knowledge of primary school students-Kathy can sleep on it for a while and then recite it word for word. This skill helped him finish the eighth grade. However, because the family was poor and needed to find a job to supplement the family, Kathy did not continue to go to school. When he worked as a waiter in a bookstore, he took advantage of his specialty, took a nap under his head and remembered the names, locations and prices of all the items in the bookstore, thus greatly helping the guests and salespeople. The bookstore owner therefore promoted Kathy as a bookseller.

1897 On March 4th, Kathy and Gertrude Evans got engaged. 1June, 898, the bookstore changed hands, and Kathy went to Louisville, the largest city in KFC, to work hard. His purpose is clear: to earn enough money to start a family. 1899 during Christmas, Kathy worked as an insurance broker with her father, and her former employer asked him to be a sales agent. In this way, at the age of 23, his monthly income reached 200 dollars, which is a high income that many people can't reach all their lives. He himself thinks it won't be long before he can get married. 1899 one day, Kathy suddenly got severe laryngitis, and he couldn't make a sound. He looked for doctors and laryngologists everywhere, and even a laryngologist from Europe came to give a lecture, but he was not cured. A week, half a month, and several months passed, and he had to find a needless job: a photographer's darkroom assistant.

1900 is a period when stage hypnosis is popular in the United States. Known as the "King of Laughter", Mr. Hart, a hypnotist, happened to show his hypnotic skills at the Dutch Opera House in Kathy town. He heard about Kathy's illness and offered to use hypnosis to help.

In the first experiment, Hart hypnotized Kathy and instructed him to recover his voice. In front of a large audience in the Dutch theater, hypnotized Kathy answered the question of "Laughing King" in a normal voice. Everyone at the scene was very excited. However, when Kathy woke up from hypnosis, his voice was still hoarse and almost inaudible. Similar experiments were repeated several times later. Kathy under hypnosis can speak normally in every experiment, and her condition remains the same after waking up.

After being hypnotized by several hypnotists for countless times, Kathy almost lost confidence in hypnosis. The story reached the ears of a hypnotist in new york, who suggested Kathy to do another experiment. The hypnotist pointed out that in this kind of hypnosis, the hypnotist should ask Kathy herself, who is completely dominated by the subconscious, to diagnose the cause of laryngitis and suggest treatment methods. Kathy was hypnotized by a glimmer of hope again. Layne (Al) is a local amateur doctor who has studied hypnosis and osteopathy. He led the hypnosis. When Dr. Lane asked the hypnotized Kathy, let her answer what is wrong with this body and how to treat it. Lying on the sofa, Kathy said that this kind of throat problem is a typical "physiological phenomenon caused by psychological factors". He pointed out that it is necessary to increase the blood circulation in Kathy's throat through the instructions of the hypnotist under Kathy's hypnosis, in order to get rid of this disease. After Dr. Ryan instructed the sleeping Kathy to "increase the blood circulation in her throat", the color of Kathy's upper chest and throat began to turn dark red, and the temperature of her skin also increased. After Kathy woke up from hypnosis, her voice, which had been lost for nearly a year, had completely recovered and her laryngitis had healed. This day is 190 1 March 3 1, which is a symbol that Kathy can officially interpret. Young Kathy's own life plan is to become a photographer and get married quickly. Kathy doesn't know what she said when she was unconscious. But Dr. Ryan, who witnessed this abnormal phenomenon, had a new idea. Dr. Ryan asked Kathy to help him interpret the incurable stomach trouble that has plagued him for many years. Out of consideration for human feelings, Kathy agreed to explain Dr. Lane's stomach trouble. In this way, sleeping Kathy accurately described Ryan's illness in normal language and recommended methods including herbs, food and exercise. With the improvement of Dr. Ryan's condition, Dr. Ryan became more confident in Kathy's ability and constantly introduced Kathy to his patients.

Kathy feels that she has only been in school for eight years, and she knows nothing about medicine and diagnosis, and she has no idea what Kathy said under hypnosis, so she has doubts about explaining her illness to her patients. But Dr. Lane suggested that Kathy could use his talents to help others. Finally, Kathy agreed to continue to cooperate for free on two conditions: first, if they find that hypnosis is harmful to anyone, they will stop reading; Second, Dr. Lane should know that Kathy's first job was as a photographer. On June 1903, Kathy finally married Miss Qiu Ge and set up her own studio a year later. At the same time, because Kathy has the ability to read the Bible once a year, he has also become the most popular teacher in Sunday Bible class.

Kathy spends most of her time in the studio. His photography business is booming, and soon she has a second shop. However, two sudden fires destroyed his two studios and various collections rented from new york. He had to send his wife and son Hugh Lynn Cayce to his hometown of Hopkinsville, where he worked hard to support his family and pay off debts.

During his home visit, a doctor named Wesley Ketchum fully believed in Kathy's ability to see a doctor and diagnose in the experiment of explaining diseases. Cageman began to use Kathy's interpretation to treat various diseases. 19 10, Dr. Cageman submitted a paper to the American Society for Clinical Research, pointing out that Casey phenomenon is a medical miracle. In the same year1October 9th, 10, The New York Times published a report about Kathy's special functions. Its title is "illiterate man becomes a doctor after hypnosis" Kathy is famous all over the country. People and letters demanding explanations poured into Hopkinsville. Kathy finally established a psychic reading company with Dr. Cageman, Albert Noy (the owner of a local luxury hotel) and Kathy's father. Kathy also has her own "Kathy Art Studio", and he is also a "psychotherapist".

With various successful medical cases and in-depth reports from many media, Kathy's reputation has spread more widely. Professor Munster, a representative of Harvard University, who is famous for exposing the deception of "psychic powers", visited Kathy for the purpose of exposing Kathy. However, after a week's investigation, interviewing patients, doctors and many witnesses present, and personally participating in the whole process of several explanations, the professor finally affirmed the legitimacy and effectiveness of Kathy's explanation. In order to make the suggested drugs and prescriptions go smoothly, running a hospital has become Kathy's dream. He took a long detour for this dream. Through the interpretation, he felt that oil could raise the necessary funds for the establishment of hospitals. During his four years in Texas, his interpretation helped others dig out oil, but others could drill oil at the drilling site he gave up, but his own oil company could not succeed. In fact, the interpretation has given the reason for his failure: the purpose of interpreting information cannot be to obtain material benefits, and some of his partners do not share his dream of building a hospital.

Kathy gave up his photography studio because of the increasingly demanding interpretation. Started to seek financial support for his hospital. He also began to accept sponsorship from people who asked for interpretation, but he would never refuse people who could not afford it. After some time, someone is willing to sponsor Kathy's dream of owning a hospital. Some of them want the hospital in Chicago, while others want it in Dayton, Ohio. Yes, the explanation itself has clearly told Kathy several times that the hospital should be in or near Virginia Beach, Virginia. Finally, Morton Blumenthal, a new york businessman from Wall Street, funded a hospital in Virginia.

1in the autumn of 923, Kathy hired a full-time stenographer and secretary, Miss Davis. In September, Kathy and Davis moved into Virginia Beach. 1927, the National Investigator Association was established, with the purpose of studying and excavating explanations and the information they contain, and its motto is "show love for God and mankind".

1928165438+1October 1 1, Kathy Hospital opened. Patients from all over the country are translated here and treated by trained medical staff. Sleeping Kathy explains to patients twice a day, diagnoses symptoms and recommends various treatments, including diet and surgery. We can see that Kathy's treatment plan has never been limited to a certain type, but the most suitable one is given among all the treatment plans. For example, among the more than 60 cases of appendicitis he recorded, only 4 cases suggested surgery, including his own case.

But by 193 1, at the height of the Great Depression, Wall Street stockbrokers finally withdrew their support. Casey Hospital and Atlanta University closed down one after another:1931On February 26th, the National Association of Investigators was dissolved. On February 28th of the same year, Casey Hospital was closed. During World War II, letters and telegrams demanding translation flooded into Kathy's home. Although the explanation itself repeatedly warned him not to do it more than twice a day, otherwise it would cause serious damage to his health, Kathy gave up the explanation as many as eight times a day for the sake of patients in urgent need and parents worried about the safety of their children on the battlefield. Nevertheless, Miss Davis, the secretary, has arranged an interpreter for two years.

1944 In the spring, Kathy's health deteriorated. His own interpretation is that he is strongly advised to rest, but Kathy has a strong sense of responsibility to help those in need. Finally, a stroke knocked him down. Just like the first reading for myself, the last reading for myself was in September 1944. The translator said he needed a rest. Mrs Casey asked how long it would take, and the answer was "until he recovers or dies". 1945 65438+1On October 3rd, Kathy died at the age of 67. In his own words, he "walked into another door of God".
