Insight

"It was a very interesting read and I tried to keep my mind open about it especially since Sylvia’s views are Christian-ish and she believes in God as I do and she has studied other religions to be familiar with their ways and how they view aspects of life.<br/><br/>Her stories and accounts from other people she’s helped with her services were so interesting to read about especially in the health aspects, I wish I understood more about what she was saying about cell memories and life ‘exit points’ that we so happened to have mapped out 5 of them in our ‘life chart’.<br/><br/>She talks about history of psychic abilities having gone way back in centuries, to the prophets mentioned in the Bible. I didn’t think of it that way but yeah, you can think of prophets having been psychic and that’s probably a reason why people didn’t want to listen to them because they seemed radical and it was impossible to see the “future”. So technically people could argue that they were psychics. They just say it in different terms.<br/><br/>I found some of the information helpful, she lists how there are many ways a person can be psychic and what some of those abilities are and what type she has and how she uses her abilities. I enjoyed reading about how her experience was (whether it was true or not, I still hold a little bit of healthy skepticism). I wonder if there are many true psychics out there who hide in the world because they thought they’d be considered crazy by others especially when they find out and don’t have someone to guide them?<br/><br/>I don’t fully agree with her stance on ghosts because there have been accounts (even a tv show called A Haunting) to disprove that ‘bad/menacing/eerie’ ghosts can’t harm us. So then what are those evil transparent figures that attack people/families leaving bruises/scratches/marks who have no explanation that makes sense to them who wouldn’t do harm to each other? It was interesting how she pointed out that spirits do walk 3 ft above the floor while ghosts are on the ground, I wouldn’t have thought there’d be a distinguishing factor in that. If I ever see a spirit or a ghost, I’ll be able to know which is which.<br/><br/>I thought it was also interesting about the readings she had with some of her clients and how they have had past lives. Based on the doctrine that I believe in the religion I follow, that’s not possible, when we die, we don’t get to live another life. Depending on our actions and how we lived on earth, we go to the spirit paradise or spirit prison, waiting until we receive immortal bodies and stand before God to be judged by Him. But hearing about that and how the people will have a mole or a spot of where they were injured in a past life is intriguing.<br/><br/>I have other thoughts too but my review is getting too long so all I’ll say is this book definitely gives you food for thought about life, about paranormal activity, spirituality and so forth. I’d recommend you to read to get your thoughts going and wonder what’s real, what’s not, and form opinions about religion, spirituality, and psychic abilities."
