Though only slightly schooled, it is reported that Mr. Cayce was able to recommend cures for terminal diseases, predict the future, find lost persons, etc. while in an hypnotic coma. He also claimed the lost city of Atlantis still exists and in his journals gives many accounts of its advanced civilization.
