Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), called the "sleeping prophet", "channeled" information while in a deep trance. He never knew what he said during his trance and always had someone taking notes. Even reading the notes afterwards, many of them were so filled with medical and technical jargon that he still did not understand what he had said while "asleep". (He had been poked and prodded by needles to prove the depth of his trance state.) Nothing in his background would suggest such sophisticated knowledge, yet the few doctors and specialists who bothered to investigate his abilities were amazed at the level of knowledge passing through his lips while in an unconscious state.
The notes taken during Cayce's trances were called "readings", of which over 14,000 were taken. And beyond medical advice, he also presented knowledge about our universe and the history of mankind. Regarding a Theory of Everything, Cayce described the origin of the universe as follows:
... in the beginning there was a sea of spirit, and it filled all space. ... It withdrew into itself, until all space was empty, and that which had filled it was shining from its center, a restless seething mind. This was the individuality of the spirit; this was what it discovered itself to be when it awakened; this was God. ... to express Himself, and (because) He desired companionship ... He projected from Himself the cosmos and souls. ... It was a power sent out from God, a primary ray, as man thinks of it, which by changing the length of its wave and the rate of its vibration became a pattern of differing forms, substance, and movement. This created the law of diversity which supplied endless designs for the pattern. God played on this law of diversity as a person plays on a piano, producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony. ... Activity was begun and maintained by the law of attraction and repulsion: positive and negative, attracting each other and repelling themselves, maintained the form and action of all things.
