Exploring the Levels of Creation

by Sylvia Browne

Book Overview

Have you ever wondered about life and Creation? Is there life after death? Why do we have to go through these trials and tribulations? Why do we have thoughts and dreams that run from the sublime to those that are nightmarish and bizarre? Why do goodness and evil go hand in hand in life ... or do they?

The answers to these questions and more are brought to light by author and spiritual teacher Sylvia Browne. She once...

perfect as always

I have never read a Sylvia Browne book that I have not loved and felt great truth within the pages, and this book is just the same. It is a bit like her creation trio of books but this one has ALOT of new information in it. Really you cannot compare the two, (this book and her 3 book creation series) because they each have their own wisdom and truths in them. I loved this book and as Sylvia says, if what some of what she says does not feel right to you, then leave it. She is not attempting to make us all believe that everything she says and believes is the only way. I, however, usually agree with her truths. WONDERFUL BOOK BY A WONDERFUL BLESSING OF A WOMAN.!

Excellent Book /Great Insight

I was particularly fascinated by the information regarding the "Lower Levels" of creation. Actually, it made me want to go there. Not for a long time or anything, just long enough to look around and get the hell out. The 7 stages of human life along with the 7 levels of life on the other side was really informative as well. I (for the first time in 37 years) realized what I was doing here on earth and what my purpose was from this one book. I guess that is really important huh? It is also a great inspirational book and reminded me of what it means to live here on the earth and that all is well and that I'll be returning home one day so not to worry. That's pretty good to get all that from the pages of a book. I love Sylvia Browne. :o)

Fascinating

Most of us probably won't be able to verify if Sylvia Browne's cosmology is correct until we leave our bodies permanently. The research of near-death experiences by physicians Raymond Moody, Melvin Morse (of children) and Elisabeth Kubler Ross provide evidence of survival of the consciousness after clinical death of the body. (The alternate hypothesis that the oxygen-deprived brain provides stimulation does not explain how medically untrained adults and even children can describe in detail resuscitation procedure, even to the point of repeating what specific individuals at the scene said.) However, one could say that the people who come back to their bodies and the Earth with these fascinating stories of what they saw and learned are merely tourists. The descriptions of life after life from Browne and psychic mediums George Anderson, James Van Praagh, Allison DuBois, John Edwards, and others focus on what we can call permanent residents. And the recent book by Depak Chopra, Life After Death: Burden of Proof, provides another physician's view of the non-temporal and the eternal with an Eastern perspective that is complex, but intriguing. There is a growing body of evidence that indicates that all these writings should be studied carefully. I highly recommend all of Browne's books for being accessible. They make a good introduction to the more arcane Chopra.

Exploring the Levels of Creation by Sylvia Browne

Although I am a student and believer in the spiritual realm, I don't easily jump on what every author has to say. Frankly, some authors simply give a boring reguritation of what has been said, and said, and resaid again. Sylvia takes things a step further. She writes for the students in the advanced class as well as the beginning. I really enjoyed this work. It was enlightening and uplifting without being a bunch of banal platitudes.

Engrossing and Plausible (Whether You Buy Into It All Or Not)

"Only entities with courage and perseverance choose to incarnate on Earth because it is, as I like to call it, the insane asylum of the universe. It's the ultimate post-graduate school, where you get your `Ph.D. in soul evolvement'. To show you how tough it is, a large part of creation won't even come near this place, let alone incarnate on it." - From the book In the book Exploring the Levels of Creation, popular psychic and Gnostic teacher Sylvia Browne delves into the myriad levels of the Underworld, life on Earth, and the Other Side. She also revisits the 12 Levels of the Soul (explained in her book God, Creation and Tools for Life), and explains Dark Entities "once and for all". Let me just say that I've only read a handful of Sylvia's books, and up until now, I've taken her insights on creation and the Other Side with a HUGE grain of salt. I don't know if this is because I caught a snippet of a Montel segment and noted her world-weary demeanor, or just felt that popularity (over-exposure?) equated to "fluff". After reading Exploring the Levels of Creation, I have much more respect for Sylvia and her wisdom. Sylvia herself says often "don't swallow what *anyone* says whole hog...not even me", encouraging others to employ reason, test whether a theory resonates, and research further. She never sets herself up as the "end all/be all" guru, nor does she encourage discipleship. This 189-page hardcover book is divided into four parts which offers information and theories gleaned from Sylvia's experience, her spirit guide Francine, and perennial wisdom. Part One addresses the Underworld, a place governed by Lilith and filled with levels inhabited by fairies, sprites, devas, elves, giants, dragons, unicorns, centaurs, and so on. The sixth and seventh levels of the Underworld are "mind dump" areas which is where tulpas (thought forms that are made real), "the bogeyman", and other humanly-created "monsters" reside. This area of chaos is what some mistakenly believe is hell when they have near-death experiences. Sylvia reasons that if man can imagine it, then it must exist *somewhere*--especially since thoughts are basically energy. Part Two describes the seven levels of life on Earth and the purposes they serve, including the Formative Years, Puberty, and Old Age. Part Three--arguably the most fascinating portion of the book--explains the seven levels on the Other Side, including the Third Level of Animal Husbandry and the Sixth Level of Teachers and Lecturers. (Note: Sylvia mentions that levels are not hierarchical. They are merely different states of being.) She describes The Hall of Records, The Council, choosing our contracts and "themes", and more. Home is a place of bliss, where creatures can bi-locate and choose to pursue research, the arts, and learning. In fact, she says that others on the Other Side may participate in creating recipes or discovering medical cures, which they then attempt to transmit to humans here on Earth that are
