ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Thomas Sugrue (1907–1953) was a widely respected and world-travelled print journalist who wrote for many of the nation’s leading newspapers and magazines, including the New York Herald Tribune and The American Magazine. Born in Connecticut on May 7, 1907, Sugrue discovered the work of psychic Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) when he roomed with Cayce’s son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, at William and Lee College in Virginia. Sugrue later sought medical help through Cayce’s channeled readings, and went on to become both Cayce’s biographer and a lifelong supporter. Sugrue’s There Is a River appeared in 1942 (he revised it in 1945) and was the sole biography written of Cayce during his lifetime. The book popularized Cayce’s work in alternative healing and channeling, and became a founding document of New Age spirituality. Sugrue died in New York City on January 6, 1953.
* The term “New Age” is often used to denote trendy or fickle spiritual tastes. I do not share in that usage: I use New Age to reference the eclectic culture of therapeutic and experimental spirituality that emerged in the late twentieth century.
* The Mind of Man, by Walter Bromberg, Harper and Brothers, New York, 1937.
* An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosacrucian Symbolical Philosophy, by Manly P. Hall. The Philosophical Research Society Press, Los Angeles, Calif., sixth edition, 1936.
