Really makes you think

Fake information by a charlatan

Sylvia Browne claims to have been raised a Catholic, I found her comments regarding Catholicsm to be offensive to my faith. It has been proved time and time again that her claims and predictions were FALSE and wrong. Don't buy this rubbish.

uh neat ideas.. but come on.. really?

Sing it

This book offers facts and healing. Ms. Browne is a wonderful teacher. She gives us facts to heal all of us!

As a first time Sylvia Browne reader this book was recommended to me by a friend. Although I internally rolled my eyes (at least I hope) it was one of the first books she recommended that wasn’t a true story murder book so I decided to give it a go.

My opinion: if you go into this book with an open mind I think you can find little nuggets of truth. Having never met or seen Sylvia speak in real life, I think the handy spirit guide Francine allows her to go off on small tangents whenever there is something she wants to say that seems to have no basis.

And after looking at the copyright…we are getting glaringly close to our 30 year mark for the polar tilt and ufo invasion so…I hope she is right and they are nice aliens because the should be arriving between now and the next five years…

And if you came back Sylvia, I hope you are enjoying you reincarnated self on this new journey:-)

Enjoyed this book very much!

I loved this book.. as of all of Sylvia Brownes books..
There just so fascinating.

Had I been in my teens or early 20's I would have really enjoyed this book. It is and introduction to unusual phenomena on this planet such as the mystery of Stonehenge or do werewolves really exist. As it is, I have already explored most of that in my youth. Sylvia does a good job explaining these things as the authorities see it, but,then, she has her spirit guide Francine fill in the blanks for what the authorities dispute or for what is really unknown. Francine tells you the real deal. She includes internet sites for those who wish to know more about these subjects.

Eye opening,thought provoking

Love the the references for further research. Love the keep an " open mind". The clarity of thoughts, related to events. The neutrality of the book.

In a general sense, I liked this book. I wish more historical fact based information was included to balance Sylvia's own psychic perceptions. Fun to read and thought provoking.

Very inspiring. Lots of stuff to learn which you can follow up on YouTube or whatever.

Everything from Atlantis to Bigfoot to the Bermuda Triangle is dusted off in this rambling rehash of pop mythology. Browne serves up perfunctory accounts of folktales, New Age origin myths and tabloid sensations, embellishing them with her desultory psychic vibes ("historians say that Stonehenge dates to about 3000 B.C., but I felt when I was there that it was more like 5000 B.C.") and the nattering asides--"Francine said there are forty-four universes"--of her "spirit guide." Influenced by Francine and theorist Erich Van Daniken, who believes astronauts existed in ancient times, Browne ascribes most unexplained phenomena to extraterrestrials from the Andromeda galaxy, who are responsible for the Pyramids (built with "anti-gravity rods"), crop circles (formed by aliens to "get their message across") and the blood-sucking Chupacabra ("a creature from another planet that was put here for research purposes and sometimes runs amok"). Browne is founder of a Gnostic-ish church (she offers a lengthy, Da Vinci Code-like chronicle of Jesus's life, in which he survives crucifixion and settles down with Mary Magdalene in France) and is therefore skeptical of legends associated with Catholicism, like demons, stigmata and the Shroud of Turin, all of which are accorded uncharacteristically rational explanations. With its biased pattern of credulity and debunking, the book amounts to a slapdash tour of the author's own eccentric belief systems.

For each topic that Sylvia discusses, one could find detailed, serious full book references. But that is the point of this book. Readers can get a “taste” of the story for each topic. Then, if they want more complete information, they can seek that elsewhere. Sylvia acknowledges that this work “isn’t meant to be a scientific treatise.” She wrote it “with the average reader in mind.” She says, “This book is meant to give an overview of the secrets and mysteries of the world and then offer my psychic interpretations of them.” She has actually visited many of the sites she discusses.

There is something here of interest to nearly everyone. This is light reading and fun. Readers will also find Sylvia Browne’s dry wit spicing up various discussions.
