I'm not a Sylvia fan, but I think Randi is hostile to the possibility that any of this might be real and would do all he could to tear anyone who took his challenge to shreds. Since it seems to me that part of being able to connect to those not in C1 is opennness, I can see that it might be hard to work with a Randi.

Proof for this stuff is possibly more stringent under Randi's direction than,say, anything the FDA asks from a drug manufacturer. Physicians have routinely been taught to do things that were done because it was someone's opinion that it was good, and it got passed on without any scientific evidence that it was good, without question for years. If they were held to the same level of confirmation in what they do as Randi would hold Sylvia to, how much in their arsenal of techniques would they be able to do? Why are there two levels of proof...one for medicine and one for afterlife.

There are people I would trust to be accurate much more than Sylvia and they haven't answered the challenge either. This is a real sticky issue but it is hard to have a discussion on it.

One of the problems is that in science, you have to get agreement on what different words mean or what you will accept as proof, and that agreement doesn't exist in this area.

I don't want to see Randi can Sylvia because that would be a knock against everyone else who does this work.

The important thing is, what do you believe and why. What can you do with it?

Dear Lucy you could be right but she is making it all worse by ignoring Randi. Probably she is giving him just what he wants.
She could put herself in the hands of Gary E. Schwartz for example. He is the Ph. D. author of The Afterlife Experiments. A very serious impartial person that would not try to make it look anything that it wasn't. That would put a stop to the nonsense but somehow she just chooses to ignore everything which doesn't look good because she claimed on national television she had no problem at all in being tested. It looks to me like she has got something to hide. I don't know.

Yes, It is her theory that all dark entities after dying go through the horse shoe effect. Meaning there is no place for them in the afterlife and they must reencarnate inmediately.
This way they have no chance of learning and evolving towards the light, so when the end of times comes they will just be reabsorved into the light of God.
The amazing thing is how she can keep a straight face throughout her explanation ...

This made me laugh.
