There do exist some people who have the knowledge to predict the future in great detail, by looking in their client's eyes. Their predictions are so accurate, that many people shun them because they are afraid of the accurate knowledge, which could be favorable or non-favorable for them. How the Oracle of Delphi predicted and to what degree the predictions were accurate is not known. This vapor thing, they talk about, is a false hinge because the priests wanted to make money from their rich clients. When money is involved, procedures become aberrated and twisted and truth and accuracy are the first victims.
I have read that Alexander the great went to the Oracle of Delphi for predictions before he embarked on his long campaign. I have also read that Alexander wanted to go to India to learn how the great yogis of India performed the miraculous, mind-over-matter feats. Too bad his armies wanted to return home from the campaign, prematurely. Too bad, Alexander died young in Babylon. We don't know what he learnt from the yogis, or if he met any. How his attitude to life changed is revealed by how he treated King Porus, after defeating him in the greatest battle of his campaign, where Alexander got severely injured and almost died. This fact indicates his attitude to life did change. Did he reveal any of this to his friends close to him, for example, Hephaestion, who was his closest friend and high-ranking general. Alexander did announce that he wanted to make the world, a peaceful place where people cooperated with each other for advancement rather than fighting each other for decline.
Similarly, some Tarot Card readers are very accurate in their evaluations. Is there a science to this capability? Can anyone learn this from a master? I think not. It seems it is a gift, but how do they do it? I asked one woman-predictor in Germany, how she does it. She said when she looks in the eyes of her clients and observes the minute details of the features of the cornea, the knowledge comes to her. Is some knowledge inborn in some people? Science doesn't think so. What do you think?
Many have spoken false prophecies, but the Oracle of Delphi managed to speak some false prophecies that, if you opposed them, you created a reality corresponding to them, being able to fool yourself into thinking they were true—Karl Popper's Oedipus Effect is relevant here.

So many memories related to that, wow.
