I’ve noticed several channels I listen to have the ads at a much higher volume, not just Simon’s channels. Now when I’m listening to fall asleep I listen to channels without ads. I sleep well and they get 4-8 hours of listening time for the algorithm. 😂
It's not just this vid either. I am BEGGING whoever does the ad integration to fix that in the future, because it's actively driving down listen time during the ad
Thanks for the script, Danny. Thanks for presenting it, Simon. This was fun. My mother, may she rest in peace, was really into Edgar Cayce. Rather enjoyed this.
I just started too - my mom was into him when I was a kid - so much so she took us to a special vacation at a cayce "center" that had special activities for kids while the adults did whatever they were doing. It was just weird...practicing looking at auras and I remember something about putting food under a thing shaped like a pyramid to "energize" it and something blah blah and other nonsense...I want to know where that stuff came from and whether I am having imaginary memories or if it was real :D
Raise your hand if your first thought when the Acacic Records were explained was “Ah yes, the Earth’s Bookshelves. From the absurdly popular Japanese children’s television show Kamen Rider W. I know exactly what you’re talking about.” Nobody? Just me? 😂
1:24:11 Here’s a fun idea for the evening-when Casey predicted his death, but it turned out to be the date of his funeral, perhaps the stroke didn’t actually kill him and instead caused “locked-in syndrome”, which the medical technology of the day misdiagnosed as death. So Casey, still alive and mentally aware, was buried alive and died later that day from oxygen starvation. Happy thoughts, Simon, David, and the gang!
If he were burned alive, I doubt he would have lived long enough to die "later" from oxygen deprivation; it typically happens within minutes. During nursing school, I wrote a paper on fire-related deaths. A grim fact I learned was that once all layers of skin are consumed, there is a cessation of pain as the nerves are destroyed. So at least he would have died with no pain.
I fell asleep in class in 6th grade and when my teacher woke me up, I told her I was studying using the Edgar Cayce studying method. She didn't buy it either....
In the 1930's and 1940's, many people did not attend school beyond the 9th grade. The great depression and WWII were happening and for various reasons, young people needed to contribute to the household income. My mother and my mother-in-law both left school at the end of 9th grade. In both cases they were the oldest daughters in their families. My mil was 14 in 1929 when the depression happened and my mother was 16 in 1942 When the US entered WWII. Yes, I'm a Boomer, age 73.
People are strange. On another board I mentioned that I was a long-time amateur astronomer, and next thing I knew I was deluged with people wanting their "charts." I explained that astronomy was nothing like astrology, as astronomy is actually a science and astrology is actually nonsense, but I was still asked for horoscopes.
Uggh. When I did a sleep study for my sleep apnea, my insurance company didn't want to pay for a hospital stay, so they made me do an in-home study. That hospital name makes me think of something from the classic _Star Trek_ series. "Besides, he has avoided two appointments that I've made for his physical exam without reason." "That's not at all surprising, Doctor. He's probably terrified of your beads and rattles."
As someone that has lived through the burst appendix: it doesn't burst and then feel better. It suddenly gets worse and worse, and when it stops: you have died. You can die several times. This is in no way enjoyable.
If I had a time machine, after watching the pyramids being built and a quick peek at some dinosaurs, 3rd thing on the list would be completely scrambling Simon's mind by nipping back and forth and "predicting the future" 😅
If you really want to mess with him go back to like 1650 and predict some bald englishman with glasses living in prague making films watched by people all over the world on small handheld computers
So, Edgar was concerned about offering advice with no expertise? Today, that's called the Internet. I recall when the Cayce craze came about in the late 70s and early 80s.
I’m in the US. I’m scheduled for a sleep study. Not so they can do scientific research but because they think I may have sleep apnea. I’m always exhausted even when I wake up. I’ve started snoring and my partner says I’ve started to stop breathing while I’m sleeping for up to 10 seconds.

Why do i leave so many comments... Anyway, great episode, Danny! Enthralling from beginning to end. You'll have to let us know what you're planning to do with those sachets of grave dirt in the basement.
Yeah, I was just dozing off. Maybe that's what it was all about… "are you relaxed, does Whistle Boy's yapping away in the background make you feel like a quick nap, WELL TOO BLOODY BAD… NOW PAY ATTENTION because he wants to tell you a charming story about his cute rugrats".
hypnosis is basically putting the subconscious in the drivers seat by getting them stuck half asleep, and applying power of suggestion. it's nowhere near as powerful or versatile as fiction likes to portray it, as it doesn't work on some personality types at all and in most cases the hypnotized cant be given instructions they don't subconsciously agree with. but it is real. most of the hype comes from stage performers who intentionally pre-screen the audience volunteers they use so they only get the portion that are willing and highly susceptible on stage with them.
Wait? How could he say the 44th president would pull a nuclear trigger when he shouldn’t have known we’d have nukes in the 30’s. I assume it was a vague statement about Armageddon and not actually called nuclear?
FYI: whilst many of these charlatan mediums and healers advertise their efforts "for free", they do also (strongly) suggest a donation of some amount. These donations for "spiritual services" are then exempt from taxation. It's all about the grift and I've no doubt Cayce was in on it.
Hypnosis is technically real its just hyper exaggerated, its just getting people comfortable and asking them to do things, If you like just for fun raise your right hand, did you do it? my nose is itchy
Honestly? I'm impressed to hear of someone who was effectively a conman, that didn't hurt people. He's more "real" than most of em. Thanks for the Episode!
The highlight of my day is seeing a long form Whistle Boi Cold read video. I don’t know if that’s a commentary on how exciting my day to day activities are or the video - but take it as it is.
We're definitely in a Simulation Universe. I already knew about Cayce...but was wiki diving on some religious/gnostic stuff, which lead me to read some stuff about Cayce again today. THEN I SEE Blaze Boi released a video about him...Sure he may have recorded this a week or two ago; but whats the chance I was reading about the obscure guy same day my main YT watches (Fact Boi channels) drops a video? Spoiler: The chances are INCREDIBLY low.
In your past life, you were a king. In your past life, you were a famous actor. In your past life, you were a bus driver. You lost your job because you fell asleep.
Simon I need you to know that I got blood (I'm a vet tech) on my shoes today and had to mop them off which then got my socks wet and my literal first thought was "God I need a pair if Vessies"
I used to play Pit with my family! It's a fast-paced game with a lil bell, where you shout at each other what commodities you have to trade. You then try to quickly negotiate an equitable trade of commodities before someone rings the bell, ending the turn. 100%, you should play it, Simon.
8:29 Akashaic is the English way of making an adjective from the Sanskrit noun Akasha, meaning space/sky etc. It's the medium of air and sound. There're some new age interpretative traditions possibly espoused by Madame Blavatsky about how this medium contains a retrievable record of events which have occurred in space, so everything. Psychics claim to have access, perhaps special access, to these records.
What if he did have some ability, but not complete. People would ask him stuff and sometimes he would have to make it up because it's nothing came through.

"Sort of like a placebo" is a pretty fair description of hypnosis. Then again, the placebo effect is "real" in the sense that it has effects on your body that you're not just faking. So, I guess it sort of depends on what you mean by the question "Is hypnosis real"? It's an altered state of consciousness a person can be put into that doesn't seem to practical for anything except magic tricks & conmen.
When you said "Theosophy" I realised that my grandparents probably believed that Edgar Cayce was genuine. Anyone who swallows Blavatsky's nonsense will believe just about any New Age crap. Come to think of it, they did use homeopathic "medicine" (water) too.

Agreed. The sound was terrible in the ad read and still not great during the episode. Something is up with that audio setup.
@@listondavis The last few videos have had blown out audio, especially with the background music overpowering vocals.
