Throughout the history of human civilization, particularly during times of acute distress and systemic uncertainty, people have instinctively looked toward unusual figures to help synthesize meaning from the chaos. Among the most enduring of these figures is Edgar Cayce, the American clairvoyant known globally as the “Sleeping Prophet.”1 Operating primarily during the first half of the twentieth century, Cayce entered deep trance states to deliver over fourteen thousand “readings.” While many were focused on holistic healing, a significant portion touched upon the shifting tides of world events and the long-term spiritual trajectory of the human race.

Decades after his passing, interest in Cayce’s visions has undergone a powerful resurgence. As we navigate the complexities of 2026, the modern world finds itself grappling with intense political polarization, a straining global economy, and a pervasive crisis of trust in the very institutions once designed to provide stability. This atmospheric tension has led scholars and seekers alike to return to Cayce’s archives with a singular, pressing question: Did the prophet foresee a fundamental turning point in human history that we are currently crossing?
