That's well said, FatherPat. If the so-called sane people were as gentle as this woman. instead of going around attacking countries, the world would be a sweeter place.
The real madmen are the ones who invent (and use) Cruise missiles, drone bombers, blockades of Palestine etc.

"A man believes what he will and disregards the rest".
Some people look at the US serial wars and see a selfless nation forever depleting valuable resources and sacrificing millions of lives in far off lands full of ungrateful wretches and believe the outrageous Bushian babblings of our corpocratic militocracy that we are spreading democracy and not dung. Others blather on about poor plucky little Israel tirelessly and wantonly slaughtering Palestinians in order to steal their land and colonize it with interlopers from Russian ghettos making the deserts bloom and not boom. They fantasize about zionist supremacy and a brutal totalitarian society as the most wonderful thing that could be. The lady with the angels in her hair may or may not be "touched" or addled as we used to put it(more likely she's "cute out") but she's essentially harmless and making a living at the same time. As long as her "angels" don't go exorcist and pull the joint apart then more power to you, girly!

As easy as it would be for me to make fun of someone like this, and as much as I dislike psychics in general because of their social effects, I googled the first negative quote. The critic was such a fundamentally arrogant, self-important [donkey-cavity] that hides behind pseudo-anonymity like a coward to pour scorn on others, that I decided I'd give this strange, nice lady a pass.

I think she's deluded but it sounds like she's sincere. Who knew you could make do much money seeing things?

I don't think much to tell you the truth. "knowthyself' feels sorry for her. With a six figure sum for starters and more to follow, it's hard for me to feel any sorrow for her nonsense but whatever it takes....why did';nt I think of something like that. I would'nt have to get two feet on the floor every morning to pay the bills.

Well, Mousey laments that where Byrne sees angels, Mousey sees environmental degradation, economic ruin, war, misery, hatred, genocide, genital mutilation, stupidity and the nether bits of Britney Spears. Wait -- Byrne sees "lights" that she interprets as angels, although it could as easily be a case of retinopathy. This story doesn't read like "news" to me, but perhaps Mousey has a mote in her third eye...

I have read Loorna Byre's book, and do receive her periodic newsletters. Nothing she has said or written controdicts my Catholic beliefs, in fact, what the messages of the Angels confirm them. Lorna says, why me? Saints and holy people ask the same question. God;'s answer is always the same, Why not me?" He chooses. We don't know why. I believe in Lorna's Angels and her gift and am grateful that she has been chosen to share those extraordinary gifts with the rest of us.

Lovely, I believe as she does. Though I don't see what she sees, I do feel things and I believe she is very sincere. What a beautiful and powerful gift she has been given.

Very interesting. In a limitless Universe, who knows? Comforting thought.
