Edgar Cayce and the Skeptic

I liked how the author was unbiased in his assessment of this topic. He makes it clear that he does not think that Cayce has any paranormal or psychic abilities but does recognizes the impact his work made on people’s lives. It is important that we look to the physical empirical evidence when trying to explain something that seems paranormal at first. This, most often, can be done and a logical explanation can be made in regards to these events. When things cannot be empirically explained then it is left unexplained with a possibility of paranormal activity.

Although something that many people believe to be paranormal can be explained in a normal way, there is still an effect it has on people that believe in the paranormal. This cannot be overlooked. People have life-changing and spiritual experiences that are very important to them. Is there something more than the normal explanations at play in these situations? Is a supernatural or paranormal entity using the natural or normal world to accomplish a goal or make change in a person’s life? These are questions that cannot be answered. There is no physical evidence to support or deny them. All that is known is that there is a true change in people’s lives and perspective in response to these incidences.
