Hi, I'm new here and I was just wondering if anyone here has read any of the books by Sylvia Browne? Would anyone here describe themselves as a Gnostic? I would really like to know what you think about them.. I started reading them about a year ago and I really like what she says.. I do what it says in her books "Take what you want and leave the rest behind".. but I find that I believe a lot of what she says in her books.. I'd really like to discuss this with some people that are interested in this... Thanks!

Welcome Stefanie and thanks for explaining that further. The whole Gnostic thing sounds fascinating to me. I think that maybe I have been on that path without knowing it!!! I am definitely going to look out Sylvia Brown's books. I am planning a trip out tomorrow with a friend so I think I might suggest visiting our local Borders ;-)

I was about to post the same thing - I think I'm gnostic also - guess I'll see!

Which book is the best to try - I must be honest & say there's no way on earth I'll be able to "read" more than one...

Hi guys.. stupid me.. I thought I would get an e-mail everytime someone posted a response to my message but that didn't happen, so I thought I'd only gotten 3 responses.. I'm sorry... I'm going to go back and read all the responses and reply and I'll discuss what I know about Sylvia Browne and the Gnostic belief as well.. Thanks!

Ok.. hi again.. I'm curious if anyone is going to any of Sylvia's spiritual salons or on any of the cruises with her?... (I'd love to go on the Caribbean one!). I read one of her books (the one about Ghosts and Spirits) and I couldn't stop reading them... right now I'm trying her lessons in Lessons for Life, I'm only on the first week, so when I'm finished I'll tell you guys how it went and if it helped.

Sylvia also has a radio show every Thursday between 6-7pm EST. Sometimes it's live and you can call in with a question. Its interesting to hear her speak about the things from her books.. You can get to it from a link on her website, I think its the very first paragraph on the first page.

I'm also curious to know if anyone who has read her books, have you figured out your life themes? I'm having trouble figuring this out and I would love to talk to anyone who has and wouldn't mind helping me out.

My e-mail is jabarron@hotmail.com if anyone is interested in discussing this.. I'll also keep posting on here.. I would love to hear peoples responses!

Thanks!

Jbarron, I have had trouble with the life themes also. I've narrowed it down to ones that are like loner, passive, humanitarian but I just can't really get them yet. You're supposed to meditate or pray about it, unfortunately my life doesn't allow me one minute in a day to do any of that. I guess I have to wait until I'm older to have time, sigh. I think the ghosts book you mentioned is "Visits from the Afterlife"? Does that sound right? I have it but haven't read it yet, will probably be after "Prophecy".
LORAX, I would strongly suggest the Journey of the Soul series, there are three. See if you can find the audio tapes maybe? Good luck on your journey of spirituality.
