Did Edgar Cayce know where Amelia ended up?

Edgar Cayce was widely believed to be psychic. He started the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach.

VIRGINIA BEACH

Here's a question not answered by Hollywood: Did psychic Edgar Cayce know what happened to Amelia Earhart?

Cayce, who started the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach, was asked to help locate the missing flier, whose life is portrayed in the current film "Amelia."

Cayce said during a trance that Earhart and her navigator could be found alive if searchers would follow a reef from Howland Island northwest for about 100 miles.

This was three days after Earhart's plane disappeared over the Pacific on July 2, 1937. Cayce said the two had "mighty little" food and water. A search turned up nothing.

On July 31, Cayce was asked for an update, on behalf of Earhart's husband. This time, he said Earhart had died on July 21, between 89 and 90 miles northwest of Howland Island. Was he right?

In 1940, a skeleton was reported found on an island in the opposite direction - southeast of Howland.

In recent years, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery said it found artifacts including an aluminum panel, a piece of clear Plexiglas and pieces of shoes on the same island.

In May, the group plans to search again. Maybe it will solve two mysteries at once.

Edgar Cayce's prowess & super human & humane abilities are not for the dim-witted
He was transpersonal & transdimensional
going beyond cause-to-effect linear narrative
artists prophets & seers are always & continue to be questioned
Playwright Larry Myers in New York City is writing
"Edgar Cayce's Autograph"
about the "sleeping prophet" & some contemporary Cayce pilgrims
The live stage is one way to penetrate even a small sector of Cayce's legacy which is atetctonic & continues to grow as New Awareness unfolds
Cayce & Madam Blavatsky were well well post modern before modern
the theater is more real than real
a magic realism or metarealism is the appropriate style to tell of Cayce's insights

Dyslectic Faker?

Looks to me like Edgar Cayce was dyslectic. All of his readings appeared to be an exact opposite of what they actually were. Then again, he could actually have been a fake as well.

Spellcheck

UMMMM before you talk about anyone....please know what you are talking about. It is Dislexic.....not what ever it is you typed. Edgar Cayce is the man;)

Did YOU Use Spellcheck?

Honey, it's DYSLEXIC (not whatever it is YOU typed). If you're going to correct someone else's spelling and/or grammar, please get it right yourself.
