Please understand: I am not posting this to subject the author to ridicule or scorn. I post it because many here have expressed an interest in hearing what those in the pro-Browne camp have to say about my stroke. these emails do not hurt nor bother me. they just make me shake my head. I reply to them, politely explaining my position on the subject, and pointing out that Browne herself says that there is no such thing as "Karma."

I occasionally get an apology back, but I usually don't hear back at all.

If you are of the (understandable) opinion that I should not post these emails, I would suggest that you not read any thread i create with the word "email" in its title.

There is such a thing as Karma, it makes for good Ben and Jerry ice cream.

Robert, maybe you could put the word 'email' in every title ...

Karma does not work that way!
 
Genuine conversation I had with a college housemate:

Me: You're from Leicester aren't you?
Dave: Yes.
Me: Did you hear there was a minor earthquake there?
Dave: Really?
Me: Yes. <Moves on to winding him up a little> It's probably karma for something bad you've done.
*Pause*
Dave: So you believe in the karma sutra then?
Me: ...

On topic, that's pretty pathetic, isn't it? "I bet you had a stroke for daring to point out that a con artist is in fact a con artist!" I can't help but feel that anyone genuinely believing in Sylvia's "powers" wouldn't care.

If you got a stroke for trying to hurt another human being, Sylvia Browne should by now be the survivor of 10 or 15 strokes and 7 or 8 heart attacks. And that is for Opal Jo Jennings alone.

Robert while i respect your decision not to mock or scorn, i will exercise my right to do so.

It really says something about these people's intentions and personality when they will use someones stroke as a springboard to fire off their beliefs. And when this person is a level 18 cleric of Sylvia browne ( or whatever title she decides to bestow on herself) that is a great example of the type of caring sensitive person that she attracts.

I mean this is the type of thing that would fly , maybe with a group of like minded friends. I mean truth be told when i am with my buddies, the Sylvia jokes are a flyin' left right and center. But in all honesty i wouldn't send her an e-mail making fun of her wheelchair bound state.

For supposedly being the enlightened, spiritual members of the population these people seem to be rather petty and downright mean.
 
First, don't these people ever stop and consider that the whole point of the web site is to try stop a whole bunch of human beings from being hurt by one human being? I mean, you do actually mention that the reason you chose Sylvia Browne was because you were so upset by the missing persons cases.

Second, I just didn't realize this person had a guide on the 7th level. Did you? Well, that proves it then! She has a guide on the 7th level, Sylvia Browne talked about a 7th level in her book, therefore everything Sylvia Browne says must be true.

We should probably take down the site now.

Third, who is Babaji?

Dadajis little baby?
 
So many things come to mind on comments like that. I mean many of the people who write such tosh have probably lost loved ones, or got very sick loved ones. How would they feel if you said 'ah, so your mother had a heart attack..must be karma for what awful behaviour she had'. They would not appreciate it! Unthinking and uncharitable. And in defense against someone who has made millions off the backs of others misery!
What planet are they on??
 
And there's the fact that Sylvia is in a wheelchair, is in poor health, runs out of money quickly, has problems with her vision and has had more messy divorces than anyone on Earth with the exception of Larry King and Liz Taylor.

Karma? No, poor lifestyle choices, possibly bad genes and bad luck. As with (I'm sorry to say) Mr. Lancaster.

Just for the record, Sylvia Browne actually says the opposite of that quite often, too. Here's a quote from Phenomenon: "Karma is another universal law that really does boil down to all those sayings you've heard before: 'What goes around comes around,' 'What ye sow, so shall ye reap,' and 'You get back what you give.' In this life or thet next one, it's a guarantee that your karma will catch up with you, good or bad."

Since by now we all know Sylvia Browne is the High Priestess of Contradictions, let me just point out that she has said the other thing, too. She used to say, and I quote: "Karma is nothing more than the experience of the soul. When you live life, you have experiences and gain knowledge every day. The word karma has been misused for a long time. The typical association deals with retribution, or an eye for an eye, to be paid back in a future life..."

That's from the Catechism. Of course she contradicts this 2 paragraphs later where she goes on to explain "boomerang karma," which is when malicious harm is sent out to someone and then one week later that person gets it right back. (Is it just me, or is that not the eye for an eye, retribution type thing that she just said was a misuse of the term?)

If Mr. Lancaster suffered a stroke because he was supposedly trying to "hurt another human being", Sylvia Browne would be dead many times over by now from the same.
 
You may not be posting them to mock and scorn but Why else would we read them?
 
It saddens me...it take a particularilly sad, small mind to believe that pain and suffering is inflicted by the Universe for questioning Sylvia Browne's honesty. What kind of crazy, chaotic, super-natural world this person must live in where storms and strokes are interpretable as super-natural retrebution. What a horrible dark god/universe she must worship. Sad. Sad. Sad.
