Deeply personal and heartfelt view on some of the secrets and mysteries of the universe.

Like an alcoholic grabbing a margarita, I bought ‘Secrets & Mysteries of the World’ from the bargain bookshelf of my local Barnes & Noble. Laugh and point if you must, but honestly those without trash reading sins are the only ones who are allowed to throw stones.

tAlright, I’m done with confessions. I am quite prepared to admit that I liked Sylvia Browne’s book. It was exactly what I thought it would be. I wasn’t blown away by her verbiage, but I did identify with her down home way of looking at the world; she is a Kansas City native after all. Plus I think some people may recognize her from her various appearances on the ‘Montel Williams Show’ and ‘Larry King Live.’

tAs a writer I enjoy these types of books because they fire my imagination. It is beside the point if I actually believe everything that she reports. There is a certain ‘wow factor’ when she makes me think of something I never thought about before. Of course I simply ate up the parts where Browne talked about her encounters with space aliens. An invisible alien who chats about the future? Yo ET, give me a call!

tBrowne wrote about the usual suspects when there is talk about mysterious places. One of course was Stonehenge; for those of us who aren’t British citizens, Stonehenge is off one of England’s highways – kind of like an archeological equivalent to Stuckey’s. Easter Island was mentioned which always makes me think about the residents because they are wedged in the middle of the Pacific and the only reason anyone ever drops by is to see the statues (tourists with cameras asking the same damn questions over and over). Browne also wrote about Atlantis and hinted that a lot of us alive today had previous lives there. I thought you looked familiar. t
Browne’s writing is much like her speaking voice which sounds as if she has been smoking a carton of cigarettes a day since she was seven. You can practically hear her narrating each chapter as you read it and then pausing for a smoking break; though she claims she doesn’t smoke.

tI know, I know, some of you might be disappointed, but I would recommend ‘Secret Mysteries’ simply because it was a fun fast read that will provoke conversation even if you have no belief whatsoever about having a sixth sense or things that go bump in the night.

SACRED…MOST SACRED!

Sylvia and her guide Francine have been my teachers for many years. They have been an enormous blessing! I cherish every word!
Thank you, beautiful souls!

Sylvia answers many questions about the world's greatest mysteries. UFO's, The Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, The Bermuda Triangle, are discussed in this book, as well as how the pryamids were built, the Crystal Skulls, and much more. Anyone who wants to learn about these mysteries can turn to this book.

Fun & interesting. I felt like a kid again, devouring those weird mysteries of the world. I wouldn’t say I believed everything I read, but I enjoyed Sylvia’s writing & tone.

I'm always skeptical about psychics and their abilities. But I live life with an open mind, and so far this book is interesting. And she does use a lot of facts and references in her book, so you do learn about these phenomena also.

I'm not a huge follower of Sylvia Browne but fine some of her stuff interesting. This title caught my attention and it did manage to expand my mental and spiritual box quite a bit. Worth a read but get it at the library if you can or borrow it from me. Be prepared to think outside your box.

interesting

I love reading about Stonehedge and all of the mysterous places like the Bermuda Triangle. She covers them all and gives a little more info than most.

My review of this was so much longer, originally, but it felt superfluous and extra, so I shortened it. Sylvia Browne unfortunately passed away in 2013. What follows is not intended for speaking ill of the deceased, though I do admit to inserting sarcasm in my writing. I used to watch her with my mother in Montell and had an open mind. Today, not so much...

PART I, MYSTERIOUS PLACES.

1--She had a vision that told her that Stonehenge was holy ground where women did a form of prayer with beads or berries strung together that resembled a rosary.

3--For Shangri-la, "Francine" claimed the supposedly existing and hidden lotus-shaped city was inhabited by beings from outer space. "She" also said history has it wrong, that Sanskrit actually came from Lemuria (purportedly a lost continent in the Pacific Ocean).

4--"Francine" said that there's an intergalaxtic highway for aliens in the Bermuda Triangle and that there are highly electromagnetic areas (allegedly approx. 12 in all) that cause strange phenomena to occur (
