My mom is making me read this Sylvia Browne book. Mom assumes I'm going to completely disbelieve it, like I don't believe in psychics. What I have a hard time believing is that someone who's all in touch with the truth of life beyond this plane would be so... I dunno, petty, I guess? She seems well-intentioned, but small-minded in some way. And she misspelled "triumvirate" in a way that made it clear she didn't know it translated into "a posse of 3 dudes". I'm not implying that everyone needs to know Latin, but if you're going to use 4-syllable words in a published work, a spellcheck would be swell.

Anyhow, while I'm reading this book and wondering what people are really reading when they're psychic, my vibrator starts going off. Like, constantly. Of course, Sylvia Browne says that our dead loved ones fuck with our electronics to show they love us.

I have a dead loved one who really wants me to get off! Who could it be?

Here's a good article that sums up what I believe about that stuff - I would honestly be surprised if there was anything in here that is revelational or even educational here, and a "real psychic" would probably characterize this writer as being in denial of her own psychic abilities (and I, in turn, would just accuse them of being wrong and/or lying):

Maybe I misunderstood something and should have checked the first box. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "tapping into your desires." Definitely, non-verbal cues are critical.

By "tapping into your desires" I guess I mean just being sensitive (no more so than any other person) to whatever's going on in your head. Paying attention, basically.

As opposed to the sciencey explanation, which is basically the same thing but assumes "psychic" folk are more in tune with the connections between people & things than others.

I misread the first option too. (I picked "good guessers" but I think part of how they are GOOD guessers is that they are reading one's nonverbal cues. Not one's desires.)
