		<description>Kamille- Great Post. I completely agree with you. I could write for hours talking about my experiences and beliefs on it. 
I don't believe in Sylvia Browne, but I do believe there are some legit psychics out there who can use that ability for others. We actually all have the ability. We just have to tap into our spirit.  

May I have a question for you. I don't think anyone is saying that she should have to do it for free, but to charge someone 800 bucks who maybe be at rock bottom and desperately feel they need her help is wrong. 
Why WOULDN'T she want to help every "Joe Blow" that comes in off the street. Isn't what she's doing suppose to be a gift given to her by God?
Jesus helped EVERYONE He could for free.  Actually he sacrificed his life to help everyone be healed and saved mentally, physically and spiritually.</description>

		<description>May - I think you're an idiot.  Maybe it's not that psychics can't read dark entities.  Maybe they're just faking and they can't read anybody.</description>

		<description>LOL U obviously have nothing better to do with ur time than try to "disprove" the great and wonderful Sylvia Browne. It would seem to me, that anything she said that did actually happen, u start saying she gathered the info somewhere else, or the info was just to "vague". Gimme a break. She has gone to great lengths to help others in need, and brings some peace to those, in knowing that when we "die", its really not so terrible at all. Get a life and and keep ur negativity to urself. Ur what she calls a dark entity...O and I saw someone say she shouldn't be charging money for this. We all have to live, and make a living. She is powerful enough and so well liked, that if she didn't charge crazy prices, she would have NO free time, and every joe blow on the street would come in for a reading, which im sure she doesnt want. And Karen, hahaha, did u ever think that maybe psychics can't read u because ur a terrible person? A dark entity that just keeps getting recycled back to earth, no spirit guides, nothing. Psychics can't read people like that...just think about it.</description>

		<description>Karen,
If you got ripped off, or put faith in someone's dubious "spiritual" revelations and got burned, it's understandable that you would be angry - However, that doesn't make everyone who has the ability to utilize senses not common to most humans a charlatan.
There are, and have been throughout history, a number of psychics and prophets who were able to break through the physical illusion and access information which you and I generally are not privy to.
I am not a psychic, but I have had several unexpected paranormal experiences, which confirmed to me the plausability of such phenomena.
For one, 38 years ago at a party, I had headphones on and loud music. Suddenly I felt someone poke his head into the room behind me... I didn't hear or see him, I just felt him - but more than that, I instantly "knew" this stranger inside and out (like as if I were in his head).  I quickly ran into the kitchen where the host couple sat, and breathlessly told them all about this weird knowing I had that this guy was someone people generally disliked, but who is really a very sweet sensitive soul and greatly misunderstood... and so on. I went on for five minutes about his personality and circumstances - without having ever seen him or spoken to him or heard of him in my life. When I was done my friends confirmed that I had nailed his story to a "T".
I never had a repeat experience like that one, but the one I did have not only proved psychic ability to me, but how it feels to a psychic, what it is like to irrefutably and solidly "know" something that you couldn't otherwise know. It was very much akin to the way I know who I am and what I like and dislike, and what my personal traits are. I know because I have access to my own mind. But on that day I had access inside a total stranger's mind.
As I was writing a letter to a young woman who had been very special to my late father, I wanted to be able to give her a message from him. I said "Dad, I'm going to meditate now and try and hear you. What would you like to say to Tanya?". I didn't know if I could do it, but even if I did "hear" something, how would I know it was pure, i.e. not from my own thoughts? Nevertheless, I gave it a go. After a while I seemed to hear something that felt like it came to me rather than a thought I concocted myself. I wrote: "Tanya, I don't know if this makes any sense, if it has some symbolic meaning, or even if it's real, but I asked my dad to try and relay a message to me for you, and this is what I got: 'Tell Tanya I love her and tell her to take good care of the car'".
Some months later while talking to my sisters about this one of them said "Oh you know what that means. Its about the car he gave her".
I was floored. "He gave her a CAR!? Are you kidding me! A car!". The fact that my father had given someone a car at a time when I really needed one to get work, well, that really pissed me off. No, I had no idea about that when I received his message. It was the kind of thing I wouldn't forget. So much for it being a "symbolic" message. But people, when they are on "the other side", often come up with off the wall stuff merely to let us know that it really is them.
I never win anything. 55 years of living and I've won virtually nothing - unlike my sister the gambler who wins at bingo and even got a ten thousand dollar instant win. But one day I was at my best friend's father-in-law's company picnic, where they had given out a number to everyone, including me, for a prize drawing event. The prizes were trinkets, but there were tons of them. I think they gave away at least fifty prizes. The "big" prize was a bottle of Wild Turkey whiskey. I was a teetotaler and couldn't care less about winning a bottle of booze. Nevertheless, I told my friend's daughter right from the start, "I'm going to win the Wild Turkey". I wasn't trying to make an affirmation. I just KNEW I was going to win it. 45 minutes to an hour later there was just one prize left: the whiskey; and yes, I won it (much to the dismay of the people who actually worked for that company).
I could go on with about 20 other experiences which include psychic info, materialization of something not of this world, messages from the dead, prophetic dreams, an interdimensional shift, past life regression, warning from (an angel or guide), and more. But that's just me. I don't expect anyone to accept anything on faith alone. God knows I don't! I just wanted to share a tidbit of my otherworldy experiences in order to proffer another point of view.
I have have countless psychic readings over the past 40 years. Some were really good. Some were a waste of money. That's why I stick with the guy I go to now; at least I know he is legit. The first time I went, he said (as soon as I sat down) "You are single, divorced, your son is going to break up with his girlfriend". All true. I didn't mention having any kids let alone one son, who shortly after did break up with his girlfriend. He said "your mother is deceased. She died of breast cancer. She didn't like your father much at all; they were too different. On the other side she is helping children who were abused and murdered. She counsels them, gives them love and helps them to make the transition". What Bill M. did not know was that my mother was always trying to help abused children because she had been abused as a child. All of it was true. There were no records. We were from another state and didn't know many people here. The Internet was yet to gain popularity.
Four year later I went to see the psychic again. He reads for at least a thousand ppl per year. Before I even sat down he said "David is here and has something to tell you". He then relayed words from an ex-boyfriend who had died 15 years earlier and it was very specific. It included not only facts about our relationship and how he died, but that he wanted to thank me for having told him what happens to us when we die and how to deal with it. My ex was a skeptic. In fact, I heard that one of the things that drove us apart was my "spookiness". He couldn't accept anything he couldn't see or touch. "David said that when he found himself separated from his body,  he remembered what you told him about transition, and that made it easy for him instead of frightening. He wants you to know that even though he had been skeptical at the time, he remembered it and is so grateful to you for sharing that information."
Bill is superb. Not a hundred percent all the time, but specific enough so that most ppl are amazed. His predictions frequently come true - such as last year when he told me a relative in Canada would pass away soon. When he told me this I was sure it would be one of my old aunts or uncles. But it wasn't. It was a fairly young cousin who suddenly died of a rare genetic disorder that none of us knew ran in our family.
Anyhoo, enough about why I know some psychics are valid. As for Sylvia Browne, I used to think she was the creme de la creme of the gifted ones. I based this on how right on she was with some audience members. But something about Sylvia disturbed me almost from day one.
How can someone who presents themselves as compassionate and caring, become so exasperated with the individuals who are honored to be in her presence? Consistently roll their eyeballs as if to say the readee is daft? Can groan "Isn't that what I just said!" when all someone was doing was confirming her statement in an effort to validate Sylvia? It's a courtesy they extend - and their thanks is to be made to look like idiots on tv.
Even worse than the eye-rolling, forehead smacking gestures and sarcasm - is the dismissive, unconcerned manner in which she often handles parents of missing or dead children. They come to her (often from afar and at costly expense) with fervent hope that she will give them some sweet scrap of information or a message from their child, and she's pretty much "Uh-huh. He's on the other side. He's doing fine". I mean, puh-leez, can't you even TRY to feign compassion for these people, Sylvia?
I couldn't watch her anymore. I was just so angry when someone on the show said "But when I saw you, you TOLD me that I was going to win the lottery" and Sylvia cut her off abruptly and became very agitated. She went off on a rant about how the girl jumped to conclusions. She tried to make it look like the girl was a nut case. Montel rescued her and they went to commercial. But my friend and I, who were watching the show, both agreed that we heard the young lady say that Sylvia personally told her that she would win. There was no misunderstanding that.
When I found this website and read what many had to say about Sylvia - especially people who had dealings and relationships with her - and I learned of the cold and unfeeling things she's done to so many - I understood where the disdainful expressions she makes came from: she's just a capitalistic opportunistic egotistical phony. Now don't get me wrong, she may have some ability or she may not (I think some start out with it and then lose it with abuse), but irregardless of any possible psychic ability, she is a phony personality.
I would hope that people reserve judgment about other psychics and mediums and all things spiritual, and not base their assumptions on disappointments over a few rotten apples. (For what it's worth, I think John Edwards is legit). I have found, in 40 years of my quest for spiritual truths, many frauds, so-so talents, pompous asses, and a lot of greedy phonies. I avoid them - lesson learned - and move on. After a while you begin to recognize feasibility from laughability in the claims of those who tout spiritual gifts.
Remember too, that even scientists are discovering some unbelievable revelations now about our universe; for example, that it is a hologram. That we are not solid. That quantum particles behave on one way or another based on observation - not "scientific laws". We really are beginning to realize that not only is anything possible, but that nothing is the way we think it is. It behooves us to have open minds, even when we feel like giving up. Life has always been difficult and confusing, but never more than in this time.
Whew! I gotta go to bed now. When I get on a roll.....</description>

When I found this website and read what many had to say about Sylvia - especially people who had dealings and relationships with her - and I learned of the cold and unfeeling things she&#8217;s done to so many - I understood where the disdainful expressions she makes came from: she&#8217;s just a capitalistic opportunistic egotistical phony. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, she may have some ability or she may not (I think some start out with it and then lose it with abuse), but irregardless of any possible psychic ability, she is a phony personality.<br />
I would hope that people reserve judgment about other psychics and mediums and all things spiritual, and not base their assumptions on disappointments over a few rotten apples. (For what it&#8217;s worth, I think John Edwards is legit). I have found, in 40 years of my quest for spiritual truths, many frauds, so-so talents, pompous asses, and a lot of greedy phonies. I avoid them - lesson learned - and move on. After a while you begin to recognize feasibility from laughability in the claims of those who tout spiritual gifts.<br />
Remember too, that even scientists are discovering some unbelievable revelations now about our universe; for example, that it is a hologram. That we are not solid. That quantum particles behave on one way or another based on observation - not &#8220;scientific laws&#8221;. We really are beginning to realize that not only is anything possible, but that nothing is the way we think it is. It behooves us to have open minds, even when we feel like giving up. Life has always been difficult and confusing, but never more than in this time.<br />
Whew! I gotta go to bed now. When I get on a roll&#8230;..</p>

		<description>Wow, Karen. So many adjectives... you must really know what you're talking about. XD You could have said everything you typed in that novel in a single paragraph if you weren't constantly repeating yourself and reusing the same adjectives over and over to describe the same thing you described in the sentence before. lawl</description>

		<description>Nicole Kidman did have a baby girl but in 2008. Also, she did say a very very long time ago (around 2005/06) that Sarah Jessica and Matthew Broderick will divorce and that never happened.</description>
