[2nd ed] ; 354 pages : portrait ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780876041185, 0876041187 OCLC 9651331 black cloth ; The ability of Edgar Cayce to give detailed information on any subject while under self-hypnosis was a startling phenomenon in itself, regardless of whether the information has been checked for accuracy. The Individual Reference File is an invaluable compilation of quotes from the readings covering a wide breadth of different topics and issues, from the mundane to the cosmic. It is a must reference tool for the serious student of the Edgar Cayce material. --Source: Publisher ; Mae Gimbert St. Clair was born in Oceana, Virginia, Mae first heard of Edgar Cayce's work in 1929, but did not seek a reading on her health, relationships, and purpose in life. She followed the advice of her health reading and its success fueled her interest in the Cayce work; she became close friends with the Cayce family. She and her family received a series of life readings that she adapted into a lecture series entitled "The Tangled Family Affair." During her years at A.R.E., she attended a study group with Edgar and Gertrude Cayce and Gladys Davis Turner. She served as the A.R.E. receptionist from 1960-1970, as a volunteer, and as a member of the A.R.E. Board of Trustees. She also established the Readings Research Department and worked as its director. Mae developed the "Blue Books" extracts from the non-medical readings, compiled two books in the Library Series (Life and Death; The Early Christian Epoch) and compiled a 21-volume readings reference to the Book of John. She lectured on past lives and health topics. She also participated in the readings microfilming project for the Edgar Cayce Foundation. Mae St. Clair died on March 21, 2003 at the age of 94. ; Gladys Davis Turner was born on January 30, 1905, near Centerville, Alabama; Gladys recorded her first reading for Edgar Cayce on August 30, 1923 (3875-1), and a second reading on September 5, 1923 (779-3), prior to her first official day of work for Gertrude and Edgar Cayce on September 10, 1923. The entire collection (14,308 readings) passed through her hands at least four times during her lifetime. Additionally, Edgar Cayce dictated to her more than 100,000 pages of personal correspondence. Gladys created the subject matter index and subject matter cross-referencing of the Edgar Cayce readings, also weaving together the historical events and context and all personal relationships of the people and groups connected to Edgar Cayce throughout his long career. She established the Edgar Cayce Foundation alongside Hugh Lynn and Edgar Evans Cayce in 1948. Gladys died in Virginia Beach on February 12, 1986.; Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) was a photographer, Sunday School teacher, and the most documented psychic of the twentieth century. He was born on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky ; From 1920-1922, Edgar Cayce and his business associates searched for oil in the San Saba area of Texas. When this venture failed, he moved the family to Selma, Alabama where he hired his long-time stenographer Gladys Davis Turner. In 1923, the family moved to Dayton, Ohio where Edgar hoped to build clientele for his readings. Edgar subsequently met New York stockbroker Morton Blumenthal who helped finance the family's move to Virginia Beach in 1925. Thomas Sugrue's book There is a River, along with Marguerite Bro's article in the Coronet Magazine entitled "Miracle Man of Virginia Beach," both published in 1943, brought Edgar and his work to national prominence. However, the onslaught of correspondence including the desperate letters for help from the families of missing servicemembers taxed Edgar's health to the breaking point. He experienced a stroke in 1944, and died on January 3, 1945. ; FINE.…
