(quote) "it is exactly that kind of attitude which keeps those with real ability quiet, as in this thread and its precursors."

Perhaps a bit of correction is called for atleast so far my attitude on the subject.

My original reason for posting the original thread about "Where were the psycjics on 911" is because I know there is such a thing as genuine abilities thanks to my dear passed Mother's extensive explorations into nutrition and "preventative medicine" ( decades before it became in vogue ) which also led to studying comparative religions and such .

I've been around this genre of inquiry and expereinces most of my life thanks to my Mother's library and to countless hours of fondly remembered discussions between us ; in no small part because I was the only one "open-minded" enough in our family to ask and to learn. ( hence the references to Capra's "Tao of Physics", Chardin, Jung, Cayce , Theosophists, etc.,etc. ).

It's also no secet by now that this talent is employed in police investigations in cases of *missing persons* as well as *profilers*. Gathering of military *intelligence* was employed , to varying degrees , by boths sides during "Cold War I ".

Anyway , the books of Edgar Cayce were pretty much the "launch points" for my Mother's path ; first because of his extensive work in natural *preventaive* medicines and then that which opened up to another path of inquiry altogether.

Thus I judiciously chose to enter Edgar Cayce's name into the discussion because of the copious *records* of his contribution to public knowledge as well as the public record of how he attained this knowledge.

So ,you see , my inquiry into why hadn't any *genuine* psychics gone on record with a premonition was *not* coming from a position of the usual ridicule , but was coming as a kind of admonition. I mean any event of that magnitude could *not* have gone un-sensed by those *genuinely* gifted.

So ,I thought entering Cayce's name into the mix in regrads to his "Earth Changes" reports would be , how shall I say ,*relavent* to the up-coming 9/11 remembrance and participation , by some , in the balancing of *healing*.

Your call. ;-)
