Then there was an older gentleman who was very popular and knowledgeable at the same time. Again, my memory is faded. He once wrote me a long piece about Wilner’s book on Edgar Cayce that he had reviewed on Amazon – so if no one recalls him (he was once a Jesuit I think and later on married in life) I’d have to research on Amazon reviews to jog my memory. Geesh…That’s what happens as you age Waybread would recall probably this one too. He was quite educated and it showed in many respects. I heard he passed on not that many years ago. Ed Falis
Found – He died on 15 March 2021 at age 69 at his home in New Jersey.

Ed wrote that, “I view astrology as a kind of mathematics that can be applied to many areas, just as normal mathematics. But it’s a completely different formal structure, and uses different means of “reasoning” and application. It wasn’t called the “queen of sciences” for nothing! I see many analogies between my two fields – especially in that they both speak to the interaction of subjectivity and objectivity, and to the nature of personal and group creativity. In both, I seem to have fallen into a hereditary family role of toolsmith.”
Quote from his obituary:
Edward was a man of tremendous insight, intellect, heart, and humor. He tackled complex philosophical questions and mundane logistical puzzles with equal energy and curiosity. An unfailing source of support to his family and friends, Ed was known to lighten dark moods by breaking into silly songs or telling rambling anecdotes that somehow always ended in insightful observations about the problem at hand. He was a fount of mostly excellent advice and when something went wrong his approach was dependably calm and even-keeled. Ed knew how to mitigate the bad and how to celebrate and enhance the good. A lifelong student of Buddhist philosophy, Ed was equally rooted in worldly logic and spiritual exploration. Edward was a special and unique man who will be deeply missed.”
