Life on the Other Side: A Psychic's Tour of the Afterlife this question feed

Bestselling psychic Sylvia Browne offers a detailed account of life in heaven in Life on the Other Side. Readers should be warned that it takes a huge leap of faith to follow this celebrity psychic across the chasm of doubt to the other side. In her opening chapters she explains that she is like the young boy in the movie The Sixth Sense--she sees dead people. When she was a child, these spirits came into her room at night and disappeared when a light went on. "To this day I can't sleep in a completely dark room, because the minute I try it the room starts filling up," she writes. "As a child, it was scary. As an adult, it's just annoying..."

Once she establishes her lengthy connections to life after death (including conversations with a spirit guide named Francine and her own near-death experience), Browne launches into life in the fourth dimension. In a chapter titled "After the Tunnel, Arriving on the Other Side," Browne explains that newcomers pass through a "hall of wisdom" and then review their most recent life through a "scanning machine." In the chapter "Beyond the Entrance," Brown claims that spirits live in whatever kind of home they've longed for, or they recreate a favorite home from earth. Plus, "the more spiritually advanced we become, the more physical beauty we're given, as a badge of our progress and hard work." Sex is known as "merging" and does not require birth control or any commitments of exclusivity. These kinds of glowing accounts of the other side cause skeptics to snicker, believers to feel comforted, and thousands of fans to keep on buying her books. --Gail Hudson

What good is there to write a book about the hereafter if it is only speculation?

What Sylvia Browne shares with us comes from her own experience. She has the gift of "knowing".

In the past 35 years I have had many of these experiences and Sylvia acts has a guide to confirm once again that there is indeed "Life after Life".

I still have not gone to the "Hall of Records", "The Scanning Machine" or other places that Sylvia has explained and had drawn for this book but I intend to investigate this further. There is no rush, life is eternal and "Today is the first day of the rest of my life".

Re-Incarnation is still a problem for me, so the reason for 4 stars in this review. I don't want to live my life over and over on this earth until I get it right. I believe that I can pursue this quest on the other side "eternally".

I do however believe like Sylvia that the choice is mine and just maybe if one chooses to return in another body one may have that possibility. I just don't want this for myself.

When I experienced my near-death experience I was given the choice to return and only than was I able to get off the couch, tend to my [...] daughter and try to make the best of my time left here on earth. I made the judgment on my life up to that point and chose to return to make things better for my family and ultimately for all that I would encounter.

This is not an easy task and I have failed many times to love the way Christ has taught us to love. But I pick up my mat daily and move on. That is how I will continue to grow spiritually on this journey called "life".

i purchased this book several years ago and enjoyed it immensely. and after seeing her on montel williams and hearing her on coast so coast am with art bell, i was completely hooked. what a truly amazing gift she has, right? i even went as far as booking a reading with her. the reading came and went. . . and absolutely nothing she said came true. while the book was a fun read, i learned a rather expensive lesson and will never again waste my money on anything that has to do with sylvia browne.
