Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce is said to have had an “uncanny ability” to put himself into some kind of self-induced sleep state (otherwise known as an occult trance) from which he’d answer personal questions for those in audience. These trances became known as “readings.” He is the founder of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE) and because of his apparent ability to "see" into personal things in the spiritual realms, some people consider him a modern prophet. Edgar Cayce died in 1945, but people to this day still take his readings, channeling, and predictions quite seriously.

One prophecy that people like to talk about is Cayce’s prediction of a global shift of the North and south poles. “There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas, and there will be shifting then of the poles...” he announced, January 19, 1934. It hasn't happened yet, but Cayce is not the only psychic to forewarn about such an event in Earth’s future.

Ruth Montgomery, in her book, Strangers Among Us (1992) talked about a pole shift; Eileen Lakes of Japan, as well as Carl Peterson who revisits the predictions of Cayce, Nostradamus and the Hopi Indian and Mayan peoples does too. Cayce himself looked to the year 1999 as a time when such cataclysmic events would cause half of the United States to be submerged in water.
Spiritually minded people may have a deep concern for the spiritual welfare of their listeners and of the planet when they make such predictions, but sometimes their "clair"voyance isn’t so "clear." They are just not 1200% right 100% of the time.

Unfortunately people are apt to believe them, even when they are just plain wrong.
