Talk:Sandra Ingerman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People whom anyone other their believers, or members of their cults, would think of as likely being frauds should not be treated as if they were getting the benefit of the doubt that they are legitimate, but rather, the discussion should leave open both possiblities: that they might be legitimate and that they are also possibly fraudulent. In the case of neo-shamans, there is a strong backlash against these people on the part of the legitimate practitioners of native religions, who consider this sort of cultural plundering for profit to be a form a racism, and their viewpoint should be respected as least as much as that of new age believers, otherwise we are left with what is essentially a neocolonialist approach.

This is quite a polemic, filled with opinion and weasel words, especially considering that the user is choosing to remain anonymous, though sounding very much like a registered user. Carptrash 17:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I removed the word "supposedly"

from the sentence in the article, "Soul Retrieval is a process for supposedly pulling back energy that one has spent or lost." I was involved in a soul retrieval about ten years ago for a young woman who was having 20 to 30 panic attacks every day. After the soul retrieval. immediately after it, the frequency of the attacks dropped to one a week, and then one a month and now, not at all. There is no "supposedly" about it. The process works. However I realize that this is just anecdotal evidence (if evidence at all), but am curious to hear why someone thinks that this process does not work. Otherwise this, and related negative postings are just from someone pushing a personal agenda or the AMA party line. Carptrash 19:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Added 3 references citing high rankings (#14, #18, #70) for 3 different books. Used "very popular" instead of "bestseller". The latter is probably justified, but the former will attract less dispute.--Mbilitatu (talk) 23:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
