He was taped into the spirit world and could communicate with beings in the well of souls.

You didn"t mention that he predicts massive sudden pole shift about now and that we are all going to die.

I love how he would claim he couldn't do any personal gain readings because he would get migraines. Sounds like a good way of making sure you could just do a bunch of vague predictions about the future and not have to do any specific predictions regarding finance and life.

Cayce maintained that Atlantis was an ancient civilization that was technologically superior to even our own and that its last surviving islands have disappeared somewhere in the Atlantic ocean some ten thousand years ago.

Cayce revealed that the size of Atlantis was equal to that of Europe, including Asia in Europe. He saw visions of this continent of the past which had gone through three major periods of division; the first two occurred around 15,600 B.C., when the mainland was divided into islands. The three main islands of Atlantis Cayce named were Poseida, Og and Aryan.

He said the people of Atlantis had constructed giant laser-like crystals for power plants, and that these were responsible for the second destruction of the land. Cayce blamed the final destruction of Atlantis and the disintegration of their culture on greed and lust. But before the legendary land disappeared under the waves, Cayce revealed that there was an exodus of many Atlanteans to ancient Egypt. Cayce attributed the Biblical Great Flood of Noah to be a result of the sinking of the last huge remnants of Atlantis.

During Cayce's otherworldly journeys, Cayce would often reveal the past lives of those who would come to him for information concerning their health. A number of people who came to Cayce were told by him that they had past lives in the legendary lost land of Atlantis. In fact, Cayce revealed that a vast number of souls who lived past lives in Atlantis have been incarnating to America for a long time now to usher in a new era of enlightened human consciousness. In all, Cayce referred to Atlantis no fewer than seven hundred times over a span of twenty years.

He also made some very specific predictions with dates that came true- and he also didn't accept a "charge" for his readings, so whats the point?

The point is, good sir that you could make a vague prediction with a date sometime later and it'll come true with really vague interpretation due to confirmation bias.

Future Prediction: A major bank will fail in February. Now if a bank fails in February I was right. If the bank doesn't fail in February but in March, you could say that the bank started to fail before and the final nail in the coffin was in February and the bank only needed enough time to completely die.

But confirmation bias is disregarding some evidence because you want it to work while supporting other evidence. For instance he could have gotten 90% of his predictions wrong but damn he got 10%, must be a fucking messiah or some kind of demon/alien thing; god damn that guys good.

If the stories are true, he could locate lost articles in houses hundreds of miles away. He could recommend the proper medicine for suffering people, describe the bottle it was in at the doctors office and where it was found.

During his time there where no skeptical science institutions and all of his claims were backed up by testimonials and other people with little knowledge of psychology, medicine, or physical science.
