What is your opinion on Sylvia Brown? I think her books are pretty interesting. What to believe?

Are you referring to Sylvia Browne, the self professed mind reader? If so, I think she is quite good at her gig, but not supernatural. I am unsure if that is who you are referring to. I do not know her to profess Gnosticism, but I do not know much about her.

Sorry for mis-spelling her name. And yes.

"She is the head of the Sylvia Browne Corporation, and the founder of a church in 1986 in Campbell, California, known as the Society of Novus Spiritus. According to its website, the church employs forty ministers, and refers to itself as "Gnostic Christian."[12] It states that it follows the same traditions and teachings which Jesus himself followed, yet does not exclude Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, or Hinduism. The society teaches the Biblical works of Jesus Christ while also incorporating the Gnostic Gospels (ex: Gospel of Mary Magdalene), and says that while the Bible is a "marvelous book" and should be used as a teaching tool, it is not the "unaltered word of God"

I think if someone were capable of things like that, they wouldn't waste their time doing "trick" gigs for cash.

It's like those "get rich quick" infomercials... If they worked, the creator wouldn't be wasting their time with crappy commercials at 3 in the morning trying to get rich selling their product (unless the product was selling "get rich quick" products... lol, but that's HIGHLY off-topic).
