I wasn't actually putting words in his mouth, taramarie. He said he was a prophet and compared himself to the old Jewish prophets. I then proceeded to take the piss until I realised that he was being deadly serious about this. Which to me is very scary behaviour.
You know, I actually have done astrological research before now. Want to know the truth? A few things Eric has gotten right but a lot of stuff is just plain wrong because no one, not even a well trained astrologer, can you tell what life is going to be like 200 years in the future. You can get a reading and you can speculate but that is the best you can do.
Let's be honest here, even in the Bible (and I'm not trying to get all religious here) Jesus said only God knew the future and not Him. So my point is, if Jesus doesn't know, how does Eric?
Also I'm going to confidently say that despite my own knowledge, I've no idea what the future holds. No one does. I'm no prophet. I cannot tell you what people are going to be doing in the year 2050. I can speculate with readings but that is all I can do.
My point is, I personally think it is morally wrong to say your a prophet. And yes, I am aware of the arch type but that doesn't mean these people are literal prophets just because of what year they were born.
When it comes to Eric, if he wants to continue to go down this road, I'd recommend that he goes to http://www.ecosophia.com and read John Michael Greer's work on astrology because Greer is hitting the same marks as me. Eric can even comment on the website and share his thoughts.
And yes, not even Greer, who is very good at astrology, claims to be a prophet.
