Sometimes when I am bored I will jump from one topic to another on
wikipedia. Tonight I somehow found my way to the Ig Nobel Prize and this led
me to the page on Silvia Browne, a self-proclaimed psychic here in the U.S.
Here is what made me chuckle:
"Browne says she knows what it is like in heaven. In her book The Other Side
are no insects--unless one wants there to be, that pets go to heaven, and
that one can build one's house wherever one wants unless it obscures the
view of a river or some trees, in which case one needs permission.[16] She
asserts that the "other side" exists approximately three feet above ground
level and at a "higher vibrational level" and so is difficult for humans to
perceive."

She's probably too smart for that. You might instead want to ask that
question to those who voluntarily hand her over millions of dollars to hear
or read what she says.

Does she say from whom?

If it exists at a different vibrational level why is it three feet higher?
Oh and lookee here she also claims to be able to see angels; and she's got
money for saying this? Yeesh!

I agree... heaven sounds a bit uncomfortably warm to me. Maybe she went
to the wrong place lol.

Yeah, but.... remember ... no insects *unless you want there to be* so,
I suppose if you want them to be with you, your pet bugs will be there
with you.
What about the pets that didn't work out so well... Like my mom's evil
cat. And the ones that are still living at the time of your demise?

I should make crap up and charge people unseemly amounts of money for
it. I again find I'm in the wrong industry. I should have been a charlatan.

Wouldn't that create a paradox, If I wanted insects and you didn't.
"Here's my pet stick insects" as I show what appears to you to be an empty
glass box.

Oh hell no I wouldn't want to meet my old dog.

Wouldn't that be kind of pointless if she thinks of God as omniscient. I
think of building a house next to the river and a message should appear
instantly telling me yes or no. Hmm can you appeal?

I think it's the price we pay for being fundamentally honest. I should
start prostelysing the words of Tekneos God of Music; Scypian Goddess of
Shopping; Fanglemork God of Blue Tomatoes; and the Great Porcelain God
Hruggh, All Bow Before Him; or at least sell T-shirts.
