Truly fascinating topic!
Ironically I asked ChatGPT “Is Mari Silva a real person — or AI generated?” & here is what it said…
“This is such a good question — and one that a lot of spiritual seekers are starting to ask.
So… here’s the honest truth:
Mari Silva is a pen name or possibly a brand created by a publishing group.
Many of her books (on chakras, shadow work, psychic abilities, etc.) are introductory, well-organised, but likely ghostwritten.
There’s no real public identity, website, interviews, or photos of “Mari Silva” — which is a red flag in the author world.
That said:
The content is not AI in the traditional sense — it’s written by human writers, possibly freelancers, using research and templates.
If you’re looking for deeper, channeled, or emotionally rich writing, she’s probably not your girl.
But for beginners or casual summaries of big topics, her books can be a gentle intro”.
I love reading these books by ‘Mari Silva’ they are such easy reads and although sometimes repetitive, I am always looking for the next read. And it opens up the door for further reading.
I got this book because my Mum was experiencing Astral Travel when I do her Reiki Energy Healing sessions, she didn’t know what it was but was describing Astral Travel, I just wanted more information on it, and this book tells you a lot of information, it just misses out on personal experiences, which is what I am looking for now. My Mum also got this book and said how interesting the topic is!
