I have a lot of ideas and thoughts on the subject myself but I wonder if anyone would like to add their opinion.
These are some things I have in mind:
1. Only (or mainly) in it for the money;
2. Doesn’t have compassion for the seeker;
3. Preys on(pushes) seekers when they are most vulnerable;
4. Encourages repeat visits/sessions without any plan;
5. Focuses on the negative (hexes, curses, negative spell removal);
6. Offers negative spells/black magic for large sums of money;
7. Says they can perform miracles:Â heal you, get you rich, bring love to your life ALL without you having to do a thing!! *sigh* If only…;
8. and *Purposefully* lists their abilities inaccurately.
Now I must say again, that as a Skeptic I often need to experience or have proof that something exists (odd that I’m a skeptic huh? skeptics are people who like to investigate and believe in searching for the truth).
So since I do not work with those that have crossed over, it’s hard for me to believe that happens. *grin* Therefore I’m not sure if Sylvia Browne is for real but that doesn’t make her a fake either. Having said that, Sylvia Browne does charge a lot of money but I have said before that that’s because there is demand. If there’s no demand, she couldn’t charge that much. Basic selling principle. So people are more than likely getting “something” out of the transaction.
Also, if she were to charge the *normal* rate she would probably be booked for years and years and why should that happen?
So I don’t have a problem with a psychic charging a lot of money as long as three things exist: a) the seeker can afford it, b) the seeker gets something really meaningful from the transaction and c) it was worth the cost.
I think that criteria is a universal truth that applies to ALL purchases in life, no?
