The Legend of Psychic (christain) Sylvia Browne
No commentsBy Christopher Murray
Born October 19, 1936, Sylvia Browne is without question, “America’s #1 Psychic,” an internationally known psychic and medium. Sylvia Browne’s clients include celebrities and people from every walk of life. Some ask if Sylvia is real, but Sylvia has also been called upon to assist the police (and the families of victims) with crimes, and doctors with troubling cases. She is also a repeated best-selling author with more than thirty books published about spiritual and metaphysical topics.
Many tuned in weekly to see Sylvia Browne appear on The Montel Williams Show, which concluded this past September. Her funny, warm and infectious style of delivering the psychic messages appealed to an audience of millions on Montel. Sylvia is like the older sister you know and love, who just happens to truly know everything and makes you laugh as she tells you the God honest truth. Both the television audience and viewers at home were frequently brought to tears and laughter by her thoughtful and healing psychic messages. Some of her most popular Montel Williams appearances were her “yearly prediction” shows.
Sylvia Browne’s predictions have stunned and amazed millions as she has accurately predicted world events, milestones for celebrities, and so much more. Browne also hosts a regular radio show on Hay House Radio, offering her sage advice about paranormal and psychic issues with an international audience.
Sylvia Browne was born in “the heart of the Bible Belt” (Kansas City, Missouri) and is the older of two daughters. Her psychic gifts developed quickly; at the tender age of three, she saw the deaths of both of her great-grandmothers. She was simply terrified by this, but fortunately Sylvia had her Grandma Ada to turn to. Grandma Ada also had psychic abilities and understood her granddaughter even better than she could know. Grandma Ada explained to her that she was a psychic medium and that God gave her these gifts to help people. At the time, she had responded that these gifts scared her, and that she didn’t want them. Her Grandma Ada only smiled a knowing smile. Sylvia Browne developed a love for world religions at an early age, with a household that encompassed Jewish, Episcopalian, Catholic and Lutheran beliefs.
Sylvia Browne’s psychic abilities continued to grow as she did. At seven years of age, Sylvia met her Spirit Guide Francine. Francine said, “I come from God. I am here to guide and protect you, and you don’t have to be afraid.” While Sylvia was scared at first, after another talk with Grandma Ada, she learned that Francine was a trusted companion, advisor and life-long friend. To this day, Sylvia refers to Francine at many of her lectures, seminars and in her books.
As an adult, Sylvia Browne started a school to teach about spiritual subjects. She is a trained hypnotist and a highly-skilled trance medium. In 1974, she started The Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research, today it is known as The Sylvia Browne Corporation. Classes grew larger and larger and what started in her tiny living room soon moved to a storefront location.
In 1986, Sylvia founded the Society of Novus Spiritus, a church located in Campbell, California. The Christian Gnostic beliefs include rejecting guilt, sin and retribution. It is a Gnostic Christian church. Sylvia creates special materials used specifically for the church.
Sylvia is continuing her legacy by working with her son, psychic Chris Dufresne. Chris now also offers private readings. Her amazing psychic gifts appear also in Chris Dufresne’s young daughter, Angeline. Sylvia Browne is still accessible to those that love her as she continues to do private psychic readings when so many at her level do not offer them.
Sylvia Browne is a best-selling author with more than thirty books published including If You Could See What I See, Lessons for Life, and Life on The Other Side. Her passion for research and enthusiasm for teaching spiritual subjects appeals to the millions that read and love her books. Many of her materials are available on audio CD.
Sylvia has touched so many lives and truly transformed them with her predictions and spiritual teachings. Sylvia gives lectures to sold-out audiences over and over.
Sylvia Browne is a popular media guest across the country, appearing often on television and radio programs. She is a frequent guest on Larry King Live and Coast to Coast AM.

The Psychical Role Of Spirituality
By Fred Gimino
What is spirituality? Very simply put spirituality is the core of our belief systems. These belief systems are often based on deities, supernatural forces, or universal energies. The purpose of which is to provide a deeper meaning for our physical existence. Furthermore, the need to define our existence beyond the five senses is deeply rooted in the fundamental development and differentiation of our id into the ego and super-ego.
So, why is spirituality so deeply rooted in our human development? To answer this question we need to first look deeper into the psychic connections we form as infants. These psychical connections, as you will see, form the core of our spiritual “self”. They in fact truly determine our ability to differentiate between good and bad.
Now let us take a look at why the need to understand or define our existence starts in our infancy. As our id develops and the ego evolves from it we are able to differentiate between “self” and “other” by forming the “repressed”. The “repressed” is formed during the Primary Repression phase of our development and is cut off from the ego via repression.
However, the repressed may still be accessed via the id. During this period of development we also form our ability to differentiate between good and bad. Furthermore, this ability to differentiate between good and bad forms the core of our spiritual nature by creating the means of forming the super ego.
Secondary repression brings about the formation of the super-ego. This is primarily caused by the anxiety produced, in direct response, to certain desires. This anxiety acts as a negative stimulus or punishment and causes the desire to become repressed. Once the threat of negative stimulus has been internalized it forms the super-ego.
This evolution from the somatic instinctual id into the “evolved” id/ego/super-ego complex is the ongoing developmental process that leads to the formation of our adult spiritual belief system. In addition this spiritual belief system allows relief of ongoing stress and anxiety without forming complex neurotic coping mechanisms of continued repression.
So, it should be apparent that spirituality not only gives a deeper meaning to our existence but also provides an important outlet for stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety unchecked or repressed wreaks disastrous consequences, in our lives. Leading to unhealthy neurosis with devastating repercussions.
Consequently, without spirituality we would truly be a society of neurotic individuals with a plethora of maladaptive personality traits. These personality traits can manifest them selves in many forms. From anti-social behavior to alcoholism the list of potential pathologies are beyond the scope of this article.
So, embracing spirituality is not only morally right but also a healthy practice. Whether you choose to worship a deity or talk to a tree for spiritual guidance the ability to transcend this world by unplugging your inner self and connecting it to an external “force” is an integral part of good mental health. It allows us to release the stress and anxiety that we cannot handle or process. Thus discharging it in a healthy manner rather than repressing or “stuffing it” to fester and malinger.
In summation spirituality is not only the core of our belief systems. Even though spirituality does form the core component of our religious and cultural beliefs. It also is an essential component of our psyche. Even more importantly spirituality forms the core of our psychical ability to cope with stress and anxiety, in a socially acceptable manner.
