Talk:Andrew Jackson Davis

Untitled

WOW! This man predicted two additional planets being descovered, predicting neptun's density, and the number of moons it had by an errer of 2, and a little mistake about nitrogen in the atmosphere (it is located on one of it's moons).

Again, all that I can say is WOW!

Influence on Cayce

Without citing a reliable source the statement "Davis in turn directly influenced self-proclaimed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) who adopted "trance diagnosis" and similar activities with few modifications from Davis's example." is simply conjecture.

According to the only cited source, http://www.caycelibrary.com/, Cayce "was taken aback to discover the work of Andrew Jackson Davis." This does not imply either way if Cayce was directly influenced or even "adopted" Davis' "trance diagnosis".

In addition, because The Cayce Library houses a collection named after Andrew Jackson Davis, and contains "... his book collection, correspondence, and various personal items", this does not "in fact" imply that Cayce "adopted" Davis' trance diagnosis, either.

The statement "Davis in turn directly influenced self-proclaimed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) who adopted "trance diagnosis" and similar activities with few modifications from Davis's example." should either be duly cited or removed.
