I've found that most of the critics of Cayce's work and particularly those that latch onto the supposedly "failed" predictions and prophecies, usually haven't done much direct research into this work. 

  When it came to future probabilities, especially in a specified time sense, the most mentioned period in this work is the testing period from 1958 to 1998 where certain changes in both the physical Earth and in humanity would begin to be noticed (they use this word everytime when outlining these trends).  These general changes including a warming trend--especially noted in the polar regions.  They included "Lights" of a spiritual nature/meaning/origin starting to be seen "in the clouds", a more collective spiritual awakening in humanity, and some other Earth type changes (implied is an increase in severity and frequency of earthquakes, and volcanism). 

   But it seems clear that they did not think that this period was one of outright catastrophe or the like. 

  In fact, in the following reading, they outright state that even by 1998, these changes would not be catastrophic in nature, but should be considered gradual. 

"8. (Q) Three hundred years ago Jacob Boehme decreed Atlantis would rise again at this crisis time when we cross from this Piscean Era into the Aquarian. Is Atlantis rising now? Will it cause a sudden convolution and about what Year?
    (A) In 1998 we may find a great deal of the activities as have been wrought by the gradual changes that are coming about. These are at the periods when the cycle of the solar activity, or the years as related to the sun's passage through the various spheres of activity become paramount or Catamount [?] [Tantamount?]* to the change between the Piscean and the Aquarian age. This is a gradual, not a cataclysmic activity in the experience of the earth in this period**."  Excerpted from Reading 1602-3

* When there were question marks put into the text, this was the stenographers saying that either they didn't hear him quite right, didn't understand what he was saying, and/or couldn't spell the word. Everything Cayce ever said while in trance, was written down by a person--most often Gladys Davis and in short hand, and then later typed up. Occasional goofs did happen on their part. 

** My use of bold for the above text. 

   As you may begin to see, clearly there are some big misinterpretations out there about what Cayce's guidance supposedly said or meant and what they predicted or didn't predict. 

  I'm not saying this source was 100% accurate all the time.  Even the guidance that Cayce relayed information from, indicated that 100% pure transmission, reception, and translating of data from their levels to the physical was not possible under these conditions. 

  They even used an analogy of observing a stick being put in water, and that when it goes below water, it's appearance seems to be bent from the part that is above water. They compared the transmission/reception/translating of nonphysical info/data to the physical as being like that.

  Personally, I don't believe that 100% accurate perception in general, and related transmission/reception/translating of nonphysical data to physical understanding is even possible until a Soul becomes like Yeshua and He/She, and transcends completely the vibratory range of a human body and experience and realizes the experience of "being in the world, but not OF it." any longer.
     Basically, a Soul has to become fully attuned to, in a completely conscious way, to Source and PUL. That is a tall order for humans, though it is possible (a latent potential) for all. 

  Regarding Cayce's guidance hints about major, major, catastrophic changes--well it IS true that they did sometimes speak to such changes, but one, indicated it was a gradual but increasing process (note, Rosalind McKnight's guidance ALSO talks about the Earth changes in this kind of manner), and two. it would happen at some other unspecified time period after the 58 to 98 period which is the one they most addressed.

  Simple truth is, that many, many, many different sources from many NDE's, Native American Elders, various religious prophecies, abduction or ET contacted humans, channeled material, etc, etc. speak to such probable future catastrophic type changes. Some, like Monroe and some of his friends, and myself, have tried to figure out the more specific timing of these and have failed miserably. (Out of all of Monroes' explorers, Rosalind McKnight has been the most accurate regarding Earth changes, and saw the more intense aspects of same, for later than did a number of the other explorers, like Tom Campbell at the time).

  Reason being, is that they are hoping that as many of these will be taken out of their bodies during these events, as can be.  If these individuals knew the more specific times, they would be able to prepare enough that many of them would survive. 

  Some interesting Cayce quotes/excerpts perhaps related to the above some:

A reading that was given in 1932, some 85 years ago:

"Q-. He said He would come again. What about His Second Coming?
A-. The time no one knows. Even as He gave, not even the Son Himself. Only the Father. Not until His enemies*-and the earth-are wholly in subjection to His will, His powers.
(Q) Are we entering the period of preparation for His coming?
(A) Entering the test period, rather."
5749-2

* My use of bold. Who are Yeshua's enemies?  The psychopathic plutocrats, the head honcho anti-retriever, and the Reptilian ET's.

"Q-. What is meant by “the Day of the Lord is near at hand”?
A-. That as has been promised through the prophets and the sages of old, the time-and half time-has been and is being fulfilled in this day and generation, and
that soon there will again appear in the earth that one through whom many will be called to meet those that are preparing the way for His day in the earth. The Lord,
then, will come, “even as ye have seen Him go.”
Q-4. How soon?
A-4. When those that are His have made the way clear, passable, for Him to come. 262-49" 

  “And He will come again and again in the hearts,
in the minds, in the experiences of those that love His coming. But those when they think
on Him and know what His presence would mean and become fearful, He passeth by.”*
(1152-1)

  *My use of bold.  Why would some become fearful thinking about the public reappearance of Yeshua and the future times he talked about in the NT?  Hmm, might relate to all the things I've been talking about as far as Earth changes, psychopathic plutocrats, etc?  On some deep, perhaps mostly unconscious level, those whom are causing so much suffering to others (all the various wars, human trafficking and pedophilia rings, etc), may have some awareness of Earth changes and what it may mean for them.  A loss of power and a loss of life, two things of which they are extremely, extremely attached to.
