Does anyone else dislike that "psychic'' Sylvia Browne?

Question

I was outraged when I looked at her website http://www.sylvia.org/home/readings.cfm and saw that she charges $$750.00$$ for a psychic reading and her psychic reading lasts only 20 -30- minutes long. This is in U.S. dollars and I'm on disability in Canada...that would eat up the entire funds for a month of my disability pay....and that does not include the long distance bill that would accrue [she doesn't even have a 1-800 number to call. She has written over 30 books - many being bestsellers-I don't know why, I read one that was total crap]...She is Sooooo rich , and she can't even afford to have a 1-800- number or give to the poor by lowering her prices! My son was right when he stated in his will/suicide note that "Greed rules the world". It even says on her site that her and her son are the best psychic readers in the world -such conceit! I believe that Edgar Cayce was the best psychic that ever lived in North America...

Dear barbielady,
I'm not bitter about being poor because I'm not poor at all...I make a thousand dollars a month
because I have a rare form of muscular distrophy...My husband is on disability as a result of the loss of our son...I thought of suing the company that produced the pills that killed him...but I did not want to make a cent [or profit] over his death. p.s. there are many class action suits against this company...and I
live a comfortable life which is All THAT I PRAY TO GOD for. I do NOT want to be RICH
with money...Being RICH to me is not money to me but BEING HAPPY, LOVED and I, even though I am not financially rich, I am rich inside my heart because I give a lot of money to the homeless, take them out for a meal and even buy clothes for them...being rich to me is being a GIVER - not a TAKER.

barbielady,
I am sorry to disappoint you ,but I HAVE NEVER FELT ANY JEALOUSY over anyone with a "happy'' living son...I still have another son and a daughter who is married and they have a child of their own. If you have a ''happy living son'' and he commits suicide, DON'T ASK FOR MY SYMPATHY!

Dear lyyman,
You have stated ''She is charging those big fees so she can help you.'' She's actually helping herself. I have been to several psychics in Canada, and the most I ever paid for a psychic was $80.00 Canadian... I had also been to see Naturopath/Hypnotist who only charged me $70.00 Canadian. When I said I was outraged by her prices...let me rephrase that -her PRICES
are outragous!!...A better way of putting it is: she has the audacity to charge these rates.
As well lyyman, what I said to barbielady is not for you to comment on, because she said something to me that was hurtful about my son and I had a right to respond to let her know that she is heartless and has not walked in my family's shoes. So that was between me and her.

Dear Believer,
The reason why I ended up on her site was because I had joined Montel's Website and signed up for HIS newsletter. Then greedy Sylvia thinks she can start sending HER newsletters to me, trying to sell her stuff. That's how I ended up on her site. I know all about her and her son's biography [she's also told us enough about herself, etc. while on Montel] She also claims that she is 70 years old. And, by the way, 40 years ago, $3.00 was probably the going rate, so she was overcharging people by $2.00. Even in those days she was ripping people off.
You also state:''... call Montel Williams, get on his show and she doesn't charge a dime. If she was greedy she wouldn't offer her services once a week every week for FREE for the past 15 years." ...WRONG. You might not realize this but if she wasn't on his show she wouldn't have any best sellers...she uses his show [because it is so popular] to sell her books. It's all a gimmick. That's how she makes her money.

Hello Believer,
you state, ''You sound very bitter....
Sounds like you are using her as an outlet for your anger
Sorry, but you don't sound like a happy person at all.''
Sorry, but if you're calling me bitter then that would make you bitter. Don't you know by all the types of books you've read.... I saw your profile and you have said you've read books by Neale Walsch, etc.. [so have I]. You state:
''I may not be able to change the world, but I if I can change one person's world than I am happy.'' If you have ever read the Course In Miracles...it states to tell others that they are right...as well in Louise Hay's book it states, ''would you rather be right or be happy'' which is a quotation from the Course In Miracles''.
How can you be happy as your calling me bitter? I am not angry with Sylvia Brown, but I find that her prices are unfair. I would prefer you not to use the word bitter with me...I have CRIED an ocean of tears since our son has passed away two years ago....

believer,
...continued...when our son died, I went into shock for about eight months...I have felt his pain when he committed suicide...I have also felt the pain of my husband and others who witnessed his body after he jumped 14 stories to his death...I am still feeling the pain of my other son and daughter and son-in-law. I am crying as I write this...try losing a 20 year old son who was not only a son to me but like a brother and a best friend and feel not only your
sorrow, but the sorrow of all who knew and loved him. As far as taking my anger out on Sylvia Brown, as you stated, I wrote her an email and gave her a compliment once which I will not go into. I will apply one of the principles of the Course in Miracles...You are right...but the word is not ''bitter'' but grieving.
However, I do write lovely poems and try to laugh as much as I can because humor is truly the best medicine.

Dear Captain Savvy,
You're right, Sylvia Brown shows no emotions at all when she answers peoples questions like: "who killed my brother, and did he suffer?, etc.'' But I've seen Montel in tears a lot when he hears details concerning matters like these. p.s. when anyone charges OUTRAGOUS RATES LIKE THAT, I would question the authenticity of this person and run in the other direction.

Answer 1

When I see her I can imagine spittle just flying all ove the place...plus her nails always look so dirty and she keeps putting them in her mouth.....

Answer 2

I happen to like Sylvia Brown. If you have read her autobiography you would know that she has been doing this for 40 years. In the beginning she didn't charge a dime. But by word of mouth she became popular and had to start charging people - at first it was only $5.
Now of course thousands want readings from her, she has her own church, She also donates lots of $$ to charities and helps the police in missing people cases/crimes etc. She tries to help people. I just can't see what's wrong in that. She has helped many many people (for free) and I think she has alot of credibility. You want an answer call Montel Williams, get on his show and she doesn't charge a dime. If she was greedy she wouldn't offer her services once a week every week for FREE for the past 15 years.

You sound very bitter.....why should you be outraged? If you don't like her why were you her website to begin with? Sounds like you are using her as an outlet for your anger

Sorry, but you don't sound like a happy person at all.

Answer 3

There will always be people who want to believe in psychics, mediums, fortune tellers, etc. Desperate and/or uneducated people grab at straws. Always will. Most of these psychics, etc know they';re con artists. But there are those people who honestly, truly believe they have a "gift." They probably have a heightened sense of normal human intuition, and their imagination did the rest.

Answer 4

Her "readings" (If that's what you want to call that waste of talking) are so blatantly obvious that it hurts to watch. She does readings how I would do them if I was told to go up there right now and pretend to read people's minds. Some supposed psychics are very good at what they do. (Apparently reading minds... Not that they do.) These are the people whose family tree consists of people doing this and passing down their methods. She, however, comes off as a pathetically obvious and blatantly fake. How do people buy into this? 90% of the time she states something obvious like a fortune cookie and the few times she doesn't, she downright gets it wrong and just moves on by simply saying "Right" or ignoring her mistake alltogether. She's almost as pathetic as the Pet Psychic... Almost.

Answer 5

I have seen Ms. Browne on TV a few times. She, like quite a number of other people, who, unlike her, have chosen to remain "low profile" are "very tuned in" to other dimensions and realities. I feel that her "information" is , for the most part, accurate.

Originally the plan was for all humans to have these abilities, fully active. Along the way certain beings and agendas intervened and "blocked" these "talents" for most of us.

To research this proposition and the details "google" "the freedom teachings". Very out of the ordinary material, and quite credible and intriguing, i have found. Not for everyone, of course, but some may find it valuable :))

Answer 6

You and Barbielady both went too far on this site. Please stop (both). Your question was about Sylvia Brown. I was curious, and wished she was legitimate. She's sure got a good thing going for now. She's a good talker and huckster. She is charging those big fees so she can help you. I hope you have not spent a penny to talk to her son because she's not there, and he discovered he has the power too.

Check this site out before you do anything else:

Answer 7

If you wish to make persons to complete anything but in the same time frame maybe not to share with them what they want to do then you will need a program like Black Ops Hypnosis, a online program that you will believe it is here https://tr.im/xeh5x and that will educate you on how to utilize hypnosis without the other person know.
 
Black Ops Hypnosis it will teach you the hypnosis technique. With this strategy you will have a way to hypnotize yourself and others about you for the benefit.

Answer 8

I definitely do not care for Ms. Browne's philosophy and I certainly do not believe in her method or her abilities! I think she and many others are fakes and frauds and do everything they can do devour the people and prey on them for their funds.

Now, having said that - I would like to say this in all love and compassion - please don't waste your hard earned money on people like this. The Word of God has given us people who can prophesy over our lives who are real and guided by the Holy Spirit and are FREE. My Bible teaches me that when people like her charge - they are not called of God. His Word is free and available to all who believe. We should be living in the present and allowing the Spirit of God to direct our lives. There is nothing you can do to change any of your past - and looking for answers from the dead is not good either - so keep your money. Pray and ask the Lord to give you PEACE AND JOY. Your son, unfortunately, was unable to find the peace he needed to live for whatever reason. You have to let that go and allow the peace of God to rule you. Your son has already been forgiven for taking his own life. You need to remember the good things and positive things that are memories.

If you need something to do that will help you deal with this situation, please get some help with Mothers and other families who have dealt with the loss of a child due to suicide.

Mother, please learn to live your life in the sunshine and find yourself in the joy that you deserve. Your American friends love you and pray for you and wish you well....

Answer 9

if you honestly think about it, if she was actually trying to help people why is she charging so much? Most of the people who need her help don't have that kind of money. and It really doesn't make any sense to me

Answer 10

Whenever I've seen her on TV she's seemed completely conceited and never seems kind to the people who are talking to her with tears in their eyes. I can't *STAND* her.
