However, I really think it odd that even in the Christian faith, churches send part of the annual tithing to the parent organization, and even (sometimes) the state convention as well. The parent organizations cannot function without this passing of the bucket. So where do you get off attacking the Novus Spiritus, or whatever, for maintaining their system in the same way? I am more offended that she would claim the teachings are based on Gnostic Christian beliefs; although I am also offended by your assertion that those beliefs are heretical as they are only such according to mainstream Christianity, which was directed by one body for so long that any alternate ideas are deemed heresy. I think that if you are looking to enlighten people about the Truth, perhaps you should begin looking at how the Truth you believe to be enlightened to works. I do still agree that Sylvia's predictions have been harmful and she needs to be better about that in the future; if she really is able to see the future or at a distance she should remember that the future is not set and that she might have blurred vision at a distance.
