Sylvia Browne - Adventures of a Psychic: The Fascinating and Inspiring True Life Story of One of Americas Most Successful Clairvoyants

A PSYCHIC TO THE RESCUE

Twenty-six women had been brutalized. Police teams were frustrated in their efforts to catch the criminal, who invariably wore a blue ski mask.

Police officer Gary Robinson had been sent to ask for Sylvia Brownes help.

I can see him! she exclaimed. Hes husky, dark-hairedhis last name begins with an S. Its going to happen next in Redwood City. He wants to rape someone there, but instead youll catch him.

Two weeks later, police arrested a man named Sanchez breaking into a Redwood City home where a woman lived alone. He was wearing a ski mask. Now he is serving a life term in prison, thanks to Sylvia Browne.

This book is dedicated to my grandmother, Ada Coil,
who provided the wind that filled the sail; and
a special thanks to my sons, Paul and Chris,
for their love and support.
Sylvia Browne

This book owes its existence most directly to a special friend
and mentor, John Wilson, whose editorial skill and
creative instincts once again proved invaluable.

CONTENTS

I had many reasons for wanting this book written, but two of my primary goals deserve special mention. First of all, I wanted to give people an understanding of what a psychic is truly all about. Being psychic is a family pattern that includes my grandmother, Ada Coil; an uncle; and my youngest son, Christopher Dufresne. The genetic aspect is important, but it is not the truest measure of what being psychic really entails. The real issues revolve around our trials and tribulations, our heartaches and struggles, and the tempering of our souls to make us a vehicle for God.

Second, this is a story about a woman. One who is perhaps (is this a crime?) too giving, too naive, too understanding, and too selfless. Yet, this woman is very intelligent, a type of savant almost, as far as peoples lives, truth, and spirituality are concerned. I also want to show that a religious or spiritual person is also very human, not saintly, and will experience the same hurts, deceptions, fears, and phobias as everyone else.

Psychics are really just human beings with a gift, which does not serve us personally very well. I have found, as I get older, that the gift is not for my benefit in any way, shape, or form. It is something to be given away. If psychics could benefit from their gift, they would simply win the big lotto and never do what they are supposed to dohelp others.

My life reads like a struggle for survival, as do most lives. There are loves that went unrequited, challenges met, deceptions at the hands of friends, and people who hurt me. I think that my story is every mans story, it is every womans story. I hope that it is a story of bravery, because I have certainly had to be courageous, strong, and sometimes, in the very bottom of my heart, very frightened, alone, and childlike.

Mine is a story of faith, a womans faith in her God and her Goddess. I came here to herald the first wave of the Gnostic Way, which is the most ancient quest of man searching for truth and his own spirituality. Where Novus Spiritus (my Spiritual Church) goes from here is only known to God. As for me, I will always be helping people, always guiding as God sees fit. If I must do my work from the back of a goat cart, I will. My contract with God must be fulfilled.
