Week6, Edgar Cayce and the Skeptic

I had to read this article three times in order for me to understandwhat Prof. Lane is trying to say, and I have to admit that I still cantunderstand what is going on in this article. Since the first day ofclass, I was wondering what Occam Razor meant, since I interpret it asProf. Lane's user name. Duhhhh....!!! David Lane states, "this entailsis "shaving" down the extraordinary claims surrounding Cayce's readingsand attempting to discover a more ordinary explanation." hummmm....Doesthis mean that in order to see and use skepticisms I would fist have toview the basics in order to continue on further or does it just meanthat even Edgar Cayce readings can be a bit unreal and notjustifiable?David Lane states "Edgar Cayce has become a religious figure, and as areligious figure he serves as a fulcrum for people's yearning toconnect with the mystery of being, the sacredness of life, and thewonder of creation." So does this mean the Edgar Cayce is identified asan apostles from God that is trying to guide its followers into theright direction, or is he just another "Guru" who meditates and basishis knowledge on what he feels is sacred and unsacred? I had troubleunderstanding this article and maybe I’m just not making any sense
