For Cayce, Atlantis Was No Myth for the American Psychic

Question 23

Multiple Choice

For Cayce, Atlantis Was No Myth For the American psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) , the story of Atlantis was no myth.For him, the island civilization that  mysteriously sank into the sea in less than a day was not invented by Plato to illustrate some larger, philosophical truth.For  Edgar Cayce, Atlantis was a historical fact, a reality he intended to prove had once existed.Although the psychic claimed  knowledge of many subjects, verifying the reality of Atlantis was one of his pet projects.Cayce regularly used his contacts beyond the grave to tell his followers about the island's history and activities.Over the course of more than twenty years, from 1923 to 1945, Cayce transcribed his chats with the communicative dead.As a result,  a large body of information concerning life on the island was accumulated and stored by the organization Cayce founded, which was called the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E) .Because Cayce, not surprisingly, has  long been the object of skepticism, if not downright ridicule, numerous attempts have been made by Cayce's supporters to verify the information he gathered from  his talks with the deceased. Prominent among the efforts to prove Cayce legitimate  have been attempts to verify the existence of Atlantis.As one might expect, the attempts have failed. The dead it appears are not reliable sources of information, and whatever they told Cayce, they don't seem to be telling anyone else.
