My deepest sympathies go out to the Sylvia Browne family. I just learned last night on twitter that Sylvia Browne has passed away yesterday morning at the age of 77. I do not yet know the cause of death but I’ve read early speculation of a stroke.
Upon hearing of the news, I immediately wanted to read some of the reactions to her death. As to be expected, there were some comments that I thought were in bad taste. A lot of different people making the same remark about, “I wonder if she saw it coming” which I didn’t think was very classy but it just goes to show the magnitude of people who do not believe in psychics and just how many people that judged Sylvia harshly for some of her well publicized missed predictions.
I understand their perspective, the fact that she was wrong at times, but she does have family, friends, and supporters out there who are going to see those disrespectful messages and I don’t know…I just don’t think that’s the best way the situation could be handled. But it is what it is. I’m not here to try to convince folks of her authenticity. You either believe or you don’t, I just know the positive impact that she had on my life.
I first read Sylvia Browne’s Book of Angels right around 2005 because I knew that my mom loved Sylvia and I just wanted to find out for myself what it was that made her such a loyal fan of this woman. I read the book and thought it was alright but didn’t think too much about her work until a year later when I decided to give her Journey of the Soul series a shot. I just found that series to be life changing for me personally.
The information about the battle of good vs evil, searching for your own Truth, synergy, and tools for protection from negativity was not only an intriguing read but it rang true with me as well. The concept that life is just a test for us to learn lessons from, that there is evil in this world that we must do battle with, and that we all have a chart (destiny) to fulfill but choices as to how we want to get to our destiny all seemed like very plausible explanations for life as far as I was concerned. And it was because of the fascinating information found in her books, the compassion and sense of humor she displayed during her appearances on The Montel Williams Show, and the closeness I felt to the like-minded souls in the Sylvia Browne forum and on facebook that I am thankful to Sylvia Browne.
If it weren’t for her, I don’t know where I would be spiritually and mentally. I just know that I was a lot unhappier and self-loathing about my life than I am now after having been exposed to Sylvia Browne and for that…I appreciate you and I thank you for the impact that you had on my life but didn’t even know it.
If there were any final thoughts I had to add about Sylvia Browne, it would be that I hope that she is remembered as someone who made mistakes but had the right intentions and that her church as well as the philosophy of searching for truth and praising Mother and Father God will continue to grow for many years to come.
