Query: false prophet of my youth

This was one of the most influential books ofmy youth in the 60s. I accepted it as truth.The alleged success of Edgar Cayce's remotehealing led me to accept his other claims aboutthe mystical nature of human life, reincarnation,etc. The book made many specific predictionsabout future geological and political events forthe crucial years 1958 to 1998. Alas, as I rereadmy old copy of this book, none of the predictionshave come to pass. I am forced to conclude thatEdgar Cayce was not at all omniscient, was infact just another human with no pipeline to universal knowledge. I have no further reason to accept his statements about the nature of life and death. In fact, I have become a total skeptic on all things mystical. It will be interesting to me to see how the total failure of all the specific predictions is treated in a new edition of the book, I imagine there is a lot of tortured logic. Anyway, I gave him a 30 year test and he failed.
