The Sylvia Brown DreamBook.
It might have good ideas, but the lady just annoyed me. I should have known I should not have bought any book that mentions or thanks Montel Williams (or any other talk show host).
I hate talk shows. I hate talk show hosts. Well, except for Ellen. She's not too bad. But I can't stand Oprah or Dr. Phil or the Anti-breastfeeding View chicks.
I was in a studio audience once for some talk show because they were doing a segment on Neurofibromatosis and people from NF inc. invited me.
It was horrible. And so degrading. Manipulative.
Anyway, I'm totally off subject.
Sylvia Brown just got on my nerves. She just pushed her own particular religious beliefs too much. She's Christian and not that I mind, but she has to mention it every fear paragraphs. Well, she mentions God. And it seems like every paragragh, she reminds you to envision a white light protecting you. And praying to God about something. It's fine to mention it once or twice in book. But she keeps talking about it over and over.
And she's too detailed and specific about things. And too sure of herself. Like she says all prophetic dreams are in color. First of all, I think MOST dreams are in color. I don't believe in that whole people-dream-in-black&white-crap. Second, how the hell does she know what every prophetic dream is like? Has she been witness to every single one? Is SHE God? Is that why she keeps asking us to pray to God? She wants more attention for herself.
It reminds me of when I was a counseler at the Cystic Fibrosis camp. The head counseler in my head cabin said something like "Well, all Cystics like to sleep in. They don't like waking up early in the morning." I was thinking...what the hell? Have you interviewed every damn person with Cystic Fibrosis on the planet? Has there been some scientific study done that proves that people with Cystic Fibrosis can't wake up early?
Anyway, back to book.
Browne talks about us having five chosen exit points. We have five times during our life that we can die if we feel we have finished everything. That's just too specific for me. And she's too sure of herself about this afterlife stuff. It seems hoaky to me. And I've been reading lots of afterlife/newage stuff. Most stuff that mediums and other folks say tends to match each other. At least partly. And no one else has mentioned this 5 exit point thing.
I don't know. Maybe she's right about everything. She does have a pretty famous reputation. I might not be psychic, but I do know I don't get good vibes from her.
