First some context. David Wilcock uses a lot of verbal hedging strategies. He often words his testimony such that things that can't be proven are put
as him telling you that somebody else said it, even multiple anonymous sources that he vetted for consistency, or some expert who ought to know like a
Nobel prize winning scientist. That way, when it comes out to know be true, he can discount the failed prediction as somebody else's failed
prediction, even though he played it up and made it central to some of his presentations. Even when David ought to know better than anybody because he
is the one who is contact with all these various sources and vetted them, he hedges by not putting his own word on the line, it's just a story about
what his sources told him. Since he does this most of the time and his predictions turn out to not happen or to not be anything unusual, like the
predictions of disclosure, or 2012 prophecies, or military tribunals against the deep state, then I take it that any time he is hedging by relying on
other people's testimony, he is unreliable.
So he co-authored this book about him being reincarnation of Edge Cayce:

Yet when he tells the story about reincarnation, he is heavily hedging. Rather than saying he coauthored the book, he says,
One guy who had a reading, Winn Free, wanted to write a book; and it didn't happen until years later, that I allowed this to be done, but we finally
wrote this book called 'The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce'. I didn't want to give them a very good picture of me, because I didn't want my face to be
on the cover, so they used a picture - but it had to be really small, inside this little nebula. [holds up book]

That paragraph is just a masterpiece of hedging language. And it's not the only one. That story is several paragraphs long.
But for me this is the question: If his hedged predictions turn out not to true, and he he is hedging about his own personal history, then why should
I believe he is who and what he says he is? Maybe all these people are just as wrong about his reincarnation lineage as they were about 2012 Earth
changes and disclosure or the end of the deep state. And if he doesn't have this reincarnation lineage - if he isn't Edgar Cayce reincarnated, nor,
by implication Pythagoras reincarnated - then his most recent venture into teaching Ascension (/Ancient) Mystery School materials is something that he
isn't specially qualifies for. But he built up all this expectation that he is specially qualified for it. Even if he never presented anything as a
certainty, he presented this preponderance of one-sided, if low-quality, evidence. So maybe rather than spending $300 for his class, a person would be
better off spending that money on primary and secondary sources that aren't using hedging strategies, and that actually have a track record of getting
things right ... whether that be Buddhist canonical materials and religious scholarship, or classical Western scholarship that has been impacted by
spiritual guides, e.g. Peter Kingsley's book and video, or channeled material aimed at a modern audience, such as A Course In Miracles, the Ra
Material, etc, etc.
