Well, you know the psychic excuses. What they will tell you is that while they can predict events, timelines are harder to pinpoint. If cornered, they'll tell you that what they were glimpsing came to pass, but it was in a parallel universe.
Here's what I think: Each of us has the ability to glimpse a future event, and some may be more sensitive than others. It's even happened to me, and I think I've heard you say it happened to you in the past. I may be wrong. Anyway, I don't think ANYONE has the ability to do it on command, and when they try, they get things horribly wrong more often than not. This is especially true when they try to turn it into a way to make money.
So, I think GMS did have some great insight very early on. Then, he put out a newsletter and started making money on it. And like Jeane Dixon, once he started doing that, he never got another thing right.
I once predicted the 1989 San Francisco Earthquake, even telling friends at work that the World Series would be interrupted. It happened at the beginning of the 3rd game, and it was the strangest thing I ever experienced. But if you offered me a million bucks, I could never tell you when another earthquake was going to strike.
I had lots of witnesses to my 1989 quake prediction too. I couldn't produce them now, but I had lots of backing way back then, since I did it in front of a lot of people. Nevertheless, I am about as intuitive as a brick wall.
