Sign of the Psychic

Where do the psychic powers of people like Uri Geller, Edger Cayce and Peter Hurkos come from? The origins of the psychic gifts of people like these have been under question for years. There have been many theories put forward to explain the many and varied cases, from accidents sparking off a kind of trigger mechanism to possessions and hallucinations. All of them hold a possible explanation for individual cases, but what about the larger picture? Could there be an underlying force of some kind which one day could be as predictable as other scientific disciplines such as biology or astronomy are today?

Many people nowadays believe that everyone is born with a certain amount of psychic power just as every person is born with a certain amount of sporting ability for example and has a certain amount of artistic skill. However some people tend to excel in certain areas. Just as some people are highly skilled sporting professionals there are people who are gifted with above average ESP powers.

One of the most talented of these people was Edgar Cayce, known for his amazingly accurate distance treatment, 90% of his consultations solved the persons problems. This was without any conscious medical knowledge.

Like many psychics his gift seemed to be with him from an early age, albeit not in a crystallized form. He could see peoples auras and played with invisible people as a child.

However it wasn’t until at the age of twenty-one, suffering from a persistent hoarse throat and laryngitis, he finally consulted a hypnotist out of desperation. The hypnotist, Al Layne, asked Cayce to give a diagnosis and possible cure to his own problem while still hypnotized. Coming out of his trance his voice had returned to normal and all symptoms had gone. It wasn’t long before he started diagnosing others while in a trance like state. As the word spread the people seeking his help grew, people contacted him from all over the world. Could Cayce like many other psychics have gained his insight into other peoples minds and bodies simply because of the time and place of his birth?

A famous study undertaken by a French psychologist named Michel Gauqelin’s which became known as the “Mars effect”, which was originally started to disprove astrology, scientifically proved that the planets in our solar system do have an effect on at least parts of our lives. After studying thousands of peoples birth times in relation to their career he discovered that in the higher achievers the planets positions did seem to play a major role.
