Memory is a tricky thing. We commit to memory not just the events but also the feelings as well as some subconscious images or symbols and we convince our brain that what we remember is completely unbiased and factual. The manyaccounts of individuals who have seen Edgar Cayce's "gift" and felt his "power"take something different away than the skeptic who is looking for any sign of trickery or manipulation in order to disprove the claim of paranormal andpsychicabilities. We cannot trust people's accounts because their account couldbe skewed or clouded by what we remember about the event and what we took awayfrom it emotionally.
According to the author, there is little substantiating evidence that Edgar Cayce had paranormal insight. It was not even that he was a charlatan takingadvantage of people, he had a keen psychological insight and believed he had a gift; he gave people something that they needed.
