Sylvia Browne: Psychic or Just Plain Silly?
A Little Bit About the Gifted Psychic Syvlia Browne
Whether Browne is indeed truly gifted is up to each individual to decide for themselves. I will say however, that no one can be a believer in Sylvia Browne if there is no belief in the afterlife and with psychics in general. As far as myself, I tend to have an open mind and can believe many of things that Browne says. Yet there are other things that make me a bit skeptical as well. The following paragraphs list some of Browne's most popular beliefs. Hopefully, individuals that do not know much about Browne and what she represents will come away with an idea and be able to formulate an opinion on their own .
Spirit Guides
Browne insists that every person has a Spirit Guide that is around them, and looking after them all the time. Spirit Guides are spiritual entities that have chosen to help you while you are away at school. According to Browne, Earth is merely just a school where we all come to learn lessons before returning to home to the Spirit world. Browne claims that we choose our Spirit Guides and they choose us before we decide to come to Earth. Even though not everyone can hear or see their Guides, Browne assures us all that they are always there. Browne states that she talks to her Spirit Guide daily, and can even have her Spirit Guide come into her body and use her body as an insturment to speak to others that don't have the ability to talk to their own Guide.
The Afterlife
Browne 100% believes that there is an afterlife and that every single human being goes there. Where they go once they get there is up to them. Browne claims that the majority of people will go through the popular "light" where they are welcomed by deceased loved ones and a state of absolute bliss. However, if people refuse the light because they are just plain immoral, they will be directed to something Browne calls the "Left Door". This is not Hell, and in fact, Browne states that the only thing that is close to Hell is Earth. The Left Door is where souls go when they decide they do not want the divine light, and usually as quick as they are into the Left Door, they are back in utero to be reincarnated again. They keep repeating a vicious cycle of going into darkness then reincarnating, until they finally decide to embrace the light and be one with God. This of course, sparks a lot of controversy for people who were raised to believe that there is a Hell. However, it is up to the individual to decide for themselves and find their true belief.
Browne also believes that there is no Judgement Day except for how one judges themselves. She says there is no one in the Spirit World casting stones at the bad deeds that humans did while on Earth. On the other hand, we ourselves will be able to relive our entire lives and then decide if we should return to Earth and leave what is basically Paradise, to come back and try it all over again, hoping to get it right this time.
Besides being able to return to Earth, Browne also claims that we all choose our own parents and location that our next life will have. Everything is already written out in our charts before we return to Earth, and what happens to us while we are here is because of the paths that we have chosen ourselves before coming to earth.
According to Browne, all animals go to the "light" when they leave Earth. She even insists that our cherished pets still look after us when they die.
Ghosts and Earth Bound Spirits
Browne has a method to differentiate Spirits that visit Earth and Ghosts that visit. Ghosts do not realize or just refuse to believe that they are indeed dead. This could be because they died rather quickly and didn't realize what had happened, or because they refuse to let go of their life here on Earth because of loved ones. Browne claims that she urges ghosts to go towards the light so that they can get on with their purpose, but many times it doesn't work.
Spirits on the other hand, realize that they are deceased as far as Earth goes. Although according to Browne no one truly ever dies, Spirits at least understand that their Earth body has died and that they no longer live on Earth. Spirits can come back for various reasons. The number one reason spirits visit on Earth is to see loved ones and reassure them that they are o.k. As far as evil spirits, Browne is absolutely certain that they cannot do any bodily harm to anyone, but they can spook people if they let them.
Many people will and already do disagree with Browne's teachings. However, many others have been so profoundly affected by her touching and healing readings, that they would trust her with their lives. .
Whether you decide to believe Browne is up to you, but I can say that she has helped many people get through hard times year after year. She has endlessly dealt with skeptics and doesn't seem worried about them anymore. Others that believed her before have now turned away because it seems that all she wants is money lately. I cannot say whether that is true or not, but what I can say that people that do decide to read Syvlia Browne's books will definitely come away with something entertaining and interesting.

Post a CommentShe's sure as hell not psychic, and not "silly" either, unless you consider lying to parents about their missing child to be "silly." I call it heartless and evil. See www.StopSylvia.com
She must be doing something right to profit so well from this.
How absolutely absurd that she has been in the pychic business for so long, with so many incorrect "readings".
Her false predictions are tracked here:

CNN's Anderson Cooper's Report
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L9hki5Nlyo
Since 2001 she has ignored a James Randi's $1million challenge to prove her abilities - she originally agreed to the challenge live with Larry King Live and has yet to follow-through (8 years later!!)

People ought to be ashamed of their ignorant selves for believing she has something to offer and paying for it. She preys on the emotional, grief stricken and naive who are looking for miracles outside of the realities of life. Her books are hogwash, her TV appearances are shams and she continues to receive from her prey - at $850 a reading. http://www.sylvia.org/home/readings.cfm
WHY IN THE W
I have been to many of Sylvias seminars and read all her books. Had a reading with her son, Chris, which cost me $450.00 and lasted all of 12 minutes. Nothing proved to be correct. I enjoyed her books but if you've read one, you've read them all. She's rude and condescending to her audience. But if you can get past that,she can be entertaining. I certainly wouldn't take anything she says seriously. she makes a lot of money and we seem to be gullible enough to pay her prices. I imagine she laughs all the way to the bank.
In 1995 a very good friend of mine passed away. We were like brothers and his passing really put me into a tail spin. I purchased one of Sylvia books and on one of the ending pages was along with other things her office number. I lived in Milwaukee at her office was in California.
I had just got home from my 3rd shift job and I called that number knowing it was about 5am where she was and I just wanted maybe a recording when she would be around my area so I could go see her. I dialed her number and Syliva answered her phone, she said she had been working late in her office to get something out to the printers. Syliva then said, YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ROY?
I almost fell out of my chair, I never mentioned his name, how the hell did she get his name?
This lady must be the real thing!
I don't like Sylvia at all. She is definitely a fraud and her references to "angels" and "spirit guides" of seemingly Christian origin should be your first clue since no such thing exists in larger religious groups (i.e., Bhuddism). Does this mean that everyone who isn't Christian is somehow excluded from the "school of life"? It just doesn't seem right. Furthermore, I wish Montel would stop bringing her on his show because no one wants to hear the same questions over and over again: 1) Will I ever get married? 2) Will I be financially successful? 3) What career should I choose? 4) Does my (loved one) come around me? 5) When am I going to have kids & how many? BO-RING!!!! Besides, I think she's taking advantage of desperate, impressionable people who, more likely than not, could use some real, professional help (like grief counseling). I despise anyone who seeks to profit from vulnerable populations (the lonely, the bereaved, the sick, and the poor). Maybe if we all ignore her, she'll
i dont know... i have never asked sylvia a question yet i would like to know if she for real or fake.
mizu, i promise you sylvia is a fake!
i use to believe in her but if you read my comment under the name taylor all your answers will be there, and her accuracy, there is no accuracy, if you take the time to check through the net not her web site, but check to read about people who had readings with her and you'll
be surprise to see lots believed in her until they personally found out the hard way. check through the net, type in- sylvia fake or fraud and see what comes up. Yes I still believe in the supernatural and psychic too, but not her, and a word of wisdom, don't base your believes
on what any psychic believes, just cause ther psychic, doesn't mean they are a saint, that they know the answers to life's hard questions,
they go by what they see, feel, and believe- according to there preception.

Hi I really want to know how to contact your spirit guide. I couldn't find it in one of Silvia Browns books so how do you see them and talk to them? My mother said that you have to ask the Holy spirit, God, and Jesus if you can see your spirit guide and talk to him/her. You can only do it before you go to bed or just at night though. Is that true? If not, please tell me how to contact your spirit guide.
