Purim

Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the
ancient Persian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them.




Wednesday February 28, 2018


It's the last name February and most of us are glad to see it go as we come into better weather ahead. I can't complain because the past few days and even today the temperatures have been in the 50s, which means I've been out and about and a light jacket enjoying my time with friends.


Focus today is on students and teachers returning to Stoneman Douglas who join the growing ranks of American schoolchildren forced to cope with haunting memories of a mass shooting. My grandson Matthew, mentioned in the blog below returns to Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut where Tuesday there was a treat from a student resulting in an early dismissal. Copycat threats ay soon become the norm. The emotion seems to be creating fear.


In politics we follow this story about the U.S. intelligence community having developed substantial evidence that state websites or voter registration systems in seven states were compromised by Russian-backed covert operatives ahead of the 2016 election - but never told the states involved, according to multiple U.S. officials. I'm surprised they didn't find more but let's see what is revealed in the time ahead. The sad part is Trump still seems to be hiding something between him and the Russians and is not moving forward to protect the 2018 elections from their intervention. Are they blackmailing him? Is this about business and money? The Russian conspiracy seems to be the most important of all totally dictating everything else around Trump's administration. The truth will out.

Aligned with Trump is Jared Kushner who lost his top secret clearance yesterday. Will this be the end of Kushner at the White House? How many countries have set him up as a patsy due to his lack of experience? As we've spoken about before, those who started with Trump just over a year ago, will slowly falling by the wayside, many going to jail.

The Circle of Life


Would Trump have run into Douglas Stoneman High School to help save the children two weeks ago? We basically view him as a man who would not put himself in harms way, yet you never know what someone would do in an emergency.

Once upon a time in upscale Manhattan Beach where I was raising my children, I came home one afternoon to the sound of glass shattering as two men were trying to break into my home through a back window. You would think I would have been smart enough to run the other way, instead something overcame me and I charged towards them with a vengeance I couldn't believe. They saw me and ran like hell. The police came but the men were long gone. To this day I know that if I had a gun I would've shot them though I am not that type of person and I don't own a gun. You just never know how you will react in an emergency until it happens. Some call this showing what a person is made of when the chips are down - or stupidity - depending who you talk to.

So what happened to the three deputies and the security guard from the Douglas Stoneman High School shooting in the moments before help arrived? Did they freeze? Were they waiting for backup? Were they confused about what was going on and the location of the shooter? All of this and other issues dealing with gun control will continue until something is done. Nearly two weeks after the shooting, the questions remain: Will anything change? Will politics rule? We know political and economic systems across the world are conspiratorial and yet have always run the hologram.

Trump has vowed to end years of political gridlock by getting tough with the NRA and Congress. His critics say he's making policy on the fly and he's supports people carrying guns. It's not what Trump says. It's what he does. Actions speak louder than words. If I was an armed teacher in the school that day, I still don't think I would've gone after a shooter will hearing an automatic weapon. It just makes no sense and creates dead bodies everywhere. I would've done what the teachers did ... hide, protect my students, and pray. Thoughts of other school shootings probably would've raced through my mind as well as wondering if my time was up.

Immigration: The Supreme Court's decision to keep in place a legal shield for the rest of this year or longer is a mixed blessing for the Dreamers (DACA). On the one hand, it removes the immediate threat of losing one's job or being deported. On the other, it will draw out the final resolution of whether they can stay in the U.S. legally. Without a hard deadline, few in Congress will want to press the issue, especially before November's midterm elections. So while the high court's decision was procedural and not a ruling on substance, it leaves the program in place as long as the legal challenges wind their way through the courts. In that sense, it represents a significant victory for the Dreamers and a defeat for the Trump administration's hard-liners on immigration.

On the matter of chain migration, though I have clients who want to bring families here, and understand how they feel based on the atrocities in many countries, I also see Trump's view that people coming here need to be productive not become part of the system that takes money from a bankrupt government. I always go by the theory that you can take others into your home if and when you can take care of yourself and those who depend on you. First you fix the problems in your home/country ... then you selectively invite others here who are less fortunate. Nothing will change my mind on that. Many who come here through chain migration don't speak English, feel isolated and would have preferred to stay in their native country. They get depressed, and even if college educated, can't find work because the jobs go to Americans, are forced to do menial jobs beneath their level of education, and wonder why they came here.

One more thing about taking the emotionally wounded into your home ... A local family took in the Florida shooter and his brother after their mother died. It caused chaos and they threw him out. We know what he did next. There's a part of me that would love to wave my magic wand and bring happiness and security to everyone. That is not the programming of third dimensional reality. By its very nature it's bipolar as are the programmed participants within.

I also agree with Trump on the lottery system of bringing people here ... it should end.

About building the wall ... I don't see it happening for several reasons the main one being the earthquakes in Mexico and the fault lines that continue into California etc. You may believe that these ongoing quakes are going to slow down as many have in the past, but it is not the case. Everything is broken. Reality is on borrowed time.

_

California: Speaking of the border wall ... Trump is planning a mid-March visit to see border wall prototypes. He will also visit Los Angeles to attend a Republican National Committee fundraiser. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ohio Gov. John Kasich will headline an event to debut a new group seeking to reform the California Republican Party. Good luck with that. Get rid of everybody over age 70. Stacey Dash, the conservative commentator and actress known for the TV series Clueless (metaphor?), is running for Congress in Southern California. Far-right radio host and author Michael Savage says that very important people have asked him to run for U.S. Senate in California.

The Tech World: My grandson Michael, a Business Major and sophomore at Boston College, has been selected among thousands of students to be part of a group to attend a conference in Silicon Valley with heads of the top tech companies that perhaps result in a job after he graduates. He and other sophomores are flying to California this weekend to spend a week there. Though business has been his major and direction, suddenly, in this changing world, he is rethinking what he wants to do. It would appear that everything is accelerating including the future careers of our young adults. Is it any wonder many high school students have no idea what they want to do when they grow up, or even when they go to college. When one looks at the tech companies, all they see is change so quickly your brain has to be programmed to keep up. The glory days of glowing praise and good PR for these big tech companies as waned, especially after allegations of election meddling, concerns about privacy and questions about technology's role in our daily lives have muddied the waters for the Silicon Valley giants which are now up against the biggest corporate backlash seen in decades.

Email, phone conversations, social media and just about everything in the grids of this reality can be monitored, but you know that. They can be hacked and used against you. So who holds the keys to your email? The Supreme Court will soon decide. The issue is straightforward: Can a company be compelled by the government to turn over emails stored on overseas servers? Federal agents in 2014 served Microsoft with a warrant demanding emails in a drug trafficking case. Microsoft said it can't hand them over because the data lives in Ireland. The lawyers will argue their cases before the justices Tuesday, with the Justice Department warning of a future with safe havens for data that could be evidence of serious crimes. Microsoft says the wrong ruling would set off a global free-for-all, with nothing to stop any country from seeking data stored anywhere in the world.

-

In conclusion, few things work in this world and once you get them balanced they are apt to change. All you can do is live out your programming trying to keep your life, and those who depend on you, as safe and balanced as possible. People with emotional problems are really struggling these days. Those who don't understand reality are becoming more broken because there are no answers. Hang in. Use your own intuition to guide you. Don't worry about what comes next. If old paradigms no longer work for you, but they do for others, step aside and live your own life. Don't let anyone tell you what to believe and that old antiquated systems are supposed to work in today's world. Make your own decisions if it all possible. Good luck.

Papua New Guinea Earthquakes



Sunday on Ellie's World ...

The first time I read about Papua New Guinea was twenty years ago - July 17, 1998 when a 7.0 earthquake struck their north coast. It caused a large undersea landslide, which in turn caused a tsunami that hit the coast killing more than 2,200 people. That event triggered a memory of PNG and End Times as if a focal point. To this day I follow tectonic activity in PNG but find most of the energies there unsettling.

As if by design a few hours after I posted the blog above ... a Magnitude 7.5 earthquake stroke Papua New Guinea. Is someone trying to tell me something or confirm a memory?

As always on a Monday morning we look to see what's ahead in the news for the week, as if looking at spoilers for a TV series. It's all there for the taking from the Parkland, Florida students returning to school, to what comes next in the diplomacy between North Korea and South Korea, to the latest conspiracies that we will highlight this week, and how Trump will try to divert our attention away from his disasters once again.

Some things are just
meant to happen


Friday ... As a former high school teacher in the New York City school system, I do not believe teachers should be armed with guns due to human error. Speaking of human error - Deputy Scot Peterson assigned to Stoneman Douglas High School stood outside the building during the shooting and did not intervene, the local sheriff reported. More details about this aspect of the story will emerge.

In an interesting twist to the narrative, four years ago Peterson had been school cop of the year. Some things are just meant to happen.

There should be more security in every school across the nation, the problem with that being funding. Trump made promises but will the nature of politics allow him to affect change? As with most politicians pay attention to what he does not what he says. As I always blog ... it's all about money though now it's more about saving lives.




It's All Programmed


Shootings everywhere are a societal problem which goes to mentally ill people getting access to weapons. Take away their guns and they will figure out other ways to kill, such as home-made bombs (terrorism), bio weapons, vehicles, other. It's as if they are mind controlled ... which in a way it is because they are programmed to perform the actions they take. Reality is broken. The human design no longer works as souls struggle to be free from pain and suffering. I don't see a solution to the gun problem, just as there are no solutions to the undeniable natural disasters which are accelerating exponentially. They are part of our timeline and sadly will play out until the end when our simulation Fades to Black.




The Experiment


This picture was taken December 2017 in front of Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn where I was a student and teacher. Driving by, I stopped to take the pic noting a police car parked in front of the building, making me feel safe but hoping I wouldn't get a ticket as I parked behind him. I remember lots of security in this racially mixed school where disturbed teens often acted out. Physical reality has always been a bipolar environment where we vicariously experience in a lab experiment.




Jimmy Kimmel Vists The Aura Shop in Santa Monica

Watch the Video

I don't watch the Jimmy Kimmel Show but something drew me to record his shows this week, probably because there wasn't that much else to watch the next day. Like other late-night shows that I do watch the next day (Colbert, Corden, and Fallon), Kimmel does a funny monologue.

Wednesday night he had a very interesting segment about metaphysics and taking his aunt Chippy to The Aura Shop to have her aura photo taken after which he played a trick on her. As you know with auras or energy field pictures around a sentient life form, it goes with their mood in the moment.

I can think GOLD and the image will show up as gold. I can pretty much think any color or combinations of colors and voila that's what appears around me. The colors follow the color spectrum (+ a few other colors like pink and gold). Here's an example - if you're angry at someone the aura color around you will be red. There's nothing spiritual about it - it's all science and math as is everything else in our reality.

Kimmel set up a fake aura photo of Chippy allowing her to believe she had horns coming out of her head in her aura pic therefore she needed crystal healing by one of our long haired beautiful goddess looking woman in a dress ... who would fix her ... just lay back, relax, close your eyes, etc. The way they presented the laying of crystals on the body, really made a mockery of everything some people believe in, but Kimmel is a comedian and in the end told his aunt the truth.

Too many people are taken in by charlatans who they feel are going to heal them, raise their frequency, and all that jazz, but none of that is true. What is true is that we live in a simulation and we go about our lives as is program. That's it ... I wonder what color my aura would be right now if someone took a picture of me once again trying to get the point across that none of this is real?

FYI for those who can see auras ... If you're looking at someone, or a picture of someone, and you see no aura around them though your brain is programmed to see auras, they no longer exist in his reality. Years ago auras were the rage ... not anymore. Keep the concept of healing simple ... when and if you're programmed to heal you will ... not a minute sooner.

Classroom Earth



Reality is broken as we attempt to create balance while coping with the programmed circumstances that shape our lives. On the matter of emotionally unstable students returning to school and killing others, you and I already know that mental illness permeates the consciousness grids that create this reality, and gun reform or no gun reform, seriously disturbed people will find a way, as do terrorists.

It's about uncontrollable rage, violence, trying to make a difference, wanting to go down in history for some act be it positive or negative, and all of the other things that make it hard for us to believe that violence will ever stop. Our bipolar experiment is, and has always been based on violence (war, abuses, etc.) For today ... If you see something say something. The bullies and abusers will possibly be stopped or taken away, but unfortunately the nature of this reality is abuse and healing. Sadly that won't change until the simulation ends and we are free to move on.

We are the innocent children/students who came to this reality to study the nature of emotions. The dismissal bell is about to ring signifying the end of the human experiment.


Youth is the Hope of the Future



The faces of young people are reflections of our past, are symbolized in our present, and express our programmed future and destiny. Perhaps that's why many children today are born outside of the lines we colored in the past, considered to be the norm in another timeline. Their worries are not unlike ours were, but perhaps they are intuiting a different outcome.


One of the main focuses for students today is gun legislation. I have four grandchildren in High School - Giovani (Senior in AZ), Dylan (Junior in NJ), Joie (freshman in AZ) and Matthew (Freshman in CT). I often wonder what they are thinking, feeling and discussing with families, friends, and teachers perhaps in reference to their own school safety or whether they are motivated to make a permanent change in gun control legislation. Matthew remembers the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting in 2012, at a neighboring elementary school when his school was on lock down for hours and his parents worried.

Giovanni is the most politically motivated of my grandchildren, voicing strong concerns about the political climate not only for him but for his generation. He graduates high school in May then goes to university to study cyber security. His conversations are like speaking with an adult who has done his homework and focuses on change. His symbol is the falcon (he drew the pic above) - a solar emblem for success, victory and rising above a situation. The falcon was symbolic of the rising sun in Egypt. It is also the king of all birds where many gods were shown with the head or body of the Falcon (including Ra).


As a former high school teacher, I cannot tell you how proud I am of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students from Parkland, Florida who are taking a stand against gun legislation. We have always been a country of protest but due to social media they continue with greater clarity and hopefully less violence. In states beside Florida, students are protesting to create change and because they are young they feel they will get the job done where adults before them failed. At the very least they hope to make a dent in gun control legislation.

Escorted by teachers and parent chaperones, survivors of the Florida school shooting, that occurred one week ago today, have traveled to the state capital to press lawmakers to take action on gun control becoming advocates for gun reform. The world stage is theirs and they will use it wisely. About 100 students arrived in Tallahassee hours before the state legislature rejected a ban on assault rifles like the one used in the attack. They are due to stage an organized rally at the statehouse later today and talk with legislators. Trump is expected to hold a 'listening session' with students and teachers later today.

As part of the social media generation who have never known a world without mass shootings, the teen survivors of the shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are uniquely positioned to become the leading voices in the gun debate. "I"m not going to let these politicians keep murdering my friends. How can we let these people stay in power if they're just trying to save themselves?" said David Hogg, 17, who was learning about special interest groups in his AP Government class. In the aftermath of America's worst mass shooting at a high school, Hogg and many of his classmates have put those lessons to work becoming vocal advocates for gun reform and against the NRA.

Tuesday night, I watched an interview with another students on his way to Tallahassee. "I was born in an age where mass school shootings had already begun and are becoming more frequent. Because I've had to deal with this my entire life, I know it has to stop. When you lose somebody you care about in a situation like this, that loss motivates you enough to become part of the change. Every day I am reminded of my fellow students and teachers who died, or were wounded, therefore I will not falter. My friends and fellow students are not here about banning guns, but for stronger background checks." In my opinion, background checks should not only be coming into focus now but should have always been part of the equation.

Every generation, as far back as I can remember, has taken a stand on one thing or another, sometimes making a difference and other times not. The young people are the ones who rise up, usually it's more at college age but since high school campuses are under attack, this generation seems programmed to make a difference and save lives. There are many factors in their lives, including tech and social media, that bring them to the world stage much earlier than past generations. Bravo and good luck.



Fun With Facials


My granddaughter Joie and her friend Kara having fun with facial masks

Tuesday morning I watched the ladies from the Today show, on location at the winter Olympics, demonstrate Korean facial masks made from natural products. Personally I have never tried a facial though the opportunity presented itself many times in the past. I think I'm different than most people, mainly women, in that I don't get involved with healthcare regimes that most enjoy and engage in. I'm not saying they don't work, I'm just saying they are not for me. I have clients and friends who are estheticians - someone who deals with beauty and skin care - and yet I never engaged in their services when offered.

The purposes of facial masks vary from deep-cleansing, to healing acne scars or hyper-pigmentation, to illumination of skin tone ... Ellie thinking about it then remembering that a women she met Monday complimented her skin ... that was nice of her especially at my age. I've never considered cosmetic surgery. Botox? I've seen how beautiful it makes some women look but it's still creepy to me. I know a man who had his forehead botoxed and somehow it affected his vision. I'm sure he's the exception. Another women got migraine headaches and yet somebody else said it helped migraines. Go figure! Once you start I don't believe you can stop.

Last year saw a huge surge in facial masks made from ... natural products, clay which is said to draw out impurities, sheet masks in which a paper mask is dampened with liquid to tone and moisturize the skin, vegetables, mud, charcoal, lace, rubber, peel-off masks, and even glow masks that come in shades of silver and gold, among others. Just thinking about it makes my skin cringe.

To me it's all about making money, and as with products created by Goop, makes no sense to me. People have always found ways to combine healing with metaphysical products and lingo that for some reason come as dysfunctional to me. Take for example the term, "Conscious Uncoupling". A divorce is a divorce and goes to the psychological background of the people involved ... nothing more. Then there's this whole thing about mindfulness ... another term for those who psychologically need to find a way to focus their minds because they might have ADD or something else that prevents them from making decisions. I don't know why the things people do in metaphysics really turned me off, but they do Maybe it's because I know that everything that happens is based on the way we are programmed. It's that simple. Ah ... that's what it is. I like to keep things simple. OK ... I should respect the fact that people go to metaphysical healing to find answers and that's all part of their equation.

As to using or playing with a facial mask like Joie and her friend ... it doesn't a..peal.

Mister Roger's Neighborhood Turns 50


50 years ago, my oldest daughter Tracy was 5 months old when I introduced her to Mr. Rogers. She loved it. Sadly there were no recorders then but we watched it every day it was on. Tracy grew up to be a teacher of gifted children. Two year later my daughter Zsia was born as Sesame Street premiered. I still remember the songs from those shows but let's honor Mr. Rogers with a sing-a-long. Inspire your children from the youngest ages because they are ready to learn as soon as they can focus. Prop them up in their infant seats and let the stimulation begin.

Sunday ... Let the celebrations continue ...


I woke up to a beautiful sunny day with little snow here in Brooklyn. Two female clients in their 60's, are coming here from Staten Island this afternoon. We plan to celebrate after their readings. My Facebook friend Carl Knotts, among others, sent a Birthday Video. The age of tech changes the way we relate and celebrate things. Thanks Carl.




Turning 75

Turning 75


The birthday greeting above was sent by my Facebook friend Stephen who celebrated yesterday and also lives in Brooklyn. Thanks Stephen. Today I celebrate with family though the size of the group has dwindled from 15 to 4 due to the flu. Our plan is to party again when everyone is better and the weather warms up.

As the years pass, do we ever imagine being 75 and how we might think and feel on that day? For me it's just another day embracing good health as I turn the page in the Life and Times of Ellie Crystal. 2017 brought reunions with high school and college friends, and the knowledge that some of my classmates have passed on. Most of my generation seems to have fared well in this crazy world, educated and surprisingly intuitive.

I share my life each day with family, friends, clients, social media, and others who pass through. We are all here to learn through experience and thus create philosophies about life and where everything is going. We all feel a sense of purpose these days, the Mission Feeling about why we are here and where it is all going, as everything appears to be reaching the apex of the pyramid of our experience when all is revealed and evolves out of existence as if a play in which we have been vicariously experiencing.

I was shown my destined in 1954 on a UFO and so it has come to pass. My journey, like yours, would be filled with the full gamut of emotions that sculpture one's life and destiny. I have been blessed to know and work with so many of you during this time. We've grown together and shared for the betterment of those whose lives we touch.


Twenty-three years ago, when Crystalinks was first conceived, my destiny changed forever along with the millions of readers who would find answers to questions about their lives, dreams, experiences, and more as we move forward in the paradox of events in which we experience. Today we question everything and understand reality as a rapidly accelerating conspiracy as each week End Time events present themselves.

This week was about the unfortunate Florida School Shooting on Valentine's Day, Trump's programmed reactions to the shooting and to the Mueller indictments presented yesterday. While we are used to having a president who protects us, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to realize that Trump is programmed to protect himself and most definitely has a personal agenda that he is protecting and not willing to disclose at this time. The algorithm of our reality is presenting you with these events so you can better understand closure. There are those I have recently talked to about Trump being groomed to become president for decades - like a pawn in a game - who is playing out his role.

Yesterday confirmation came about things we already knew - Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election helping Trump and hurting the Clinton campaigns. Russia took advantage of our society, our First Amendment, our social media, our deep divisions, and in some cases our identities. This asymmetrical act of information and psychological warfare continues on as we come to the 2018 elections, bringing to mind similar storylines we have read about or seen in films - the Cold War revisited in the 21st century.

Years before the 2016 election - Russian operatives physically entered our country - and in the Age of Technology electronically changed what we read, what we saw, what we heard, and in some cases changed our minds about the issues of the day. Millions of dollars went into this successful attack by a hostile world power on our own soil as conspiracy theorists, among others, put the pieces of the puzzle together. For now, no one was vindicated, no one was cleared, this is just another piece of the puzzle we follow as if a spy novel. Your emotional base will determine how invested you are in the remainder of the simulation.

If you're like me, you're just letting everything play out, and have become a Watcher. End times will touch your life be they the accelerating natural disasters such as the 7.2 earthquake in southeastern Mexico today, climate changes, personal relationships, and you know the rest. You'll probably say life isn't fair but that's the bipolar nature of the simulation.

To me whatever is going on in government and the world, is all a diversion and busywork as a Master Plan unfolds behind the scenes. Some events make it more evident while others occupy our time while we wait. It's events of a negative nature that spike in the grids of consciousness and allow us to understand how emotional programming effects closure. All of this is accelerating exponentially with not much more to go. Consider yourself lucky if you're programmed to understand the bigger picture, have good health, and are braced for impact on all fronts. To be continued ... in year 76 ...

Florida School Shooting


In the energies of a New Moon Solar Eclipse 27° Aquarius


What should have been a fun Valentine's Day in High School turned into a Valentine's Day massacre. Wednesday evening I spoke with my friend Marilyn who lives within walking distance of Douglas High School attended by two of her grandchildren. Her grandson Jeremy, a freshman, ran and hid in the bushes when the shooting started as many of the 3,000+ students fled and chaos ruled. Over the loud speaker they heard the words no student wants to hear: Code Red. Jeremy called Marilyn and kept her on the phone as he hid waiting with other students. Prior to escaping, a boy in Jeremy's class had been killed and he would have been next had events turned out differently. Jeremy's sister Jessica, a Junior, escaped, both children safe but badly shaken, yet not as shaken as the parents according to Marilyn. We spoke again on Thursday as she described how families of the students held vigils and shared stories while continuing to watch events unfold.


Thursday February 15, 2018

News coverage of events like the Douglas High School Shooting have become all too familiar, predictable at this point. Aerial photos of students leaving the scene as police enter the building, crying parents anxiously waiting nearby thankful for cell phones, and emergency vehicles trying to help the wounded, are part of the pattern. The suspect is captured - his classmates and social media once again reflecting patterns of mental illness and access to weapons. In the aftermath we again hear stories by students, teachers, parents, and others who feel that gun control and regulations would make a significant difference ... not really.

Once again I am blogging something that you and I already know. As the simulation of our reality is imploding so too are the behavior patterns of those within. In our algorithm, patterns repeat, as we have been witnessing, meaning that terrorism and violence will continue by those programmed to enact them. The perpetrator in this case is your typical isolated youth with emotional, and based on the fact that he was left back twice, intellectual challenges who feels isolated, considers joining the military or perhaps a radical Islamic group - anything but living his day-to-day life which shows him no future.

Many in that age group hate school and have no direction. They look at the generations before them, current global situations, the patterns of our President and the dysfunctionality of government, and wonder what kind of future is ahead. Will there be martial law in the near future when having a gun to protect themselves is important? Have they been abused emotionally and physically to the point where keeping a weapon is also for their own protection? Do playing video games and following terrorist activities influence their decisions?

The suspect, 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz, was adopted at birth by Lynda Cruz and her husband, the latter of whom died during his childhood of a heart attack. His adopted mother died on November 1, 2017 from influenza and pneumonia. He had been living with relatives and friends since her death. He had also previously been receiving mental health treatment, however he stopped going and never returned had been expelled from the school for violent behavior bringing weapons to school and showing them off. When he came back to the school, the classrooms were locked so he pulled the fire alarm and started shooting as the students and teachers ran out.

I am told Nikolas has a younger biological brother who is still a student at the school. The biological parents should be found as the answers lie in his DNA. Further, authorities had been notified about him and nothing was done. Yes he was ignored over and over which should tell you that what he did sadly was destined.

Mental illness generally peaks between the ages of 19 and 20 which is when psychosis and other serious illnesses that have been brewing through the teen years take over. How does one quiet the mind and try to function in today's world? Some turn to medical professionals, or holistic practitioners, while others to drugs (buying and selling them). This is no different than when we were growing up, only in those years everything was hidden. The results are adults who abuse women, children, coworkers, and others around them - thus following the pattern of our reality - abuse and healing. Those who are abused in childhood almost always abuse as adults. In today's world the abuses they portray in our little simulation are coming to the fore as sexual predators, domestic abusers, and worse. If you were programmed for violence it will follow you. Even if you move to a remote secluded area, away from the world, something will follow you, especially as the simulation ends and emotions rule. How does one heal from this, if ever?




Birthday Lunch with Cousin Doug from Los Angeles

Doug, 72, looks like my father and the Crystals. I look like my mother. His mother and my father were siblings. My father was the 5th of 10 children born to the Crystals - the first born in the US. His Mom was the last child. Doug is a retired engineer who plays the violin in a symphony orchestra along with other academic pursuits. I knew about him and his twin sisters, Mindy and Nancy, as I grew up but we united through 23andMe a few years ago.

Let them eat cake ... or lemon meringue pie as the case may be.

Florida School Shooting
A Valentine's Day Massacre


Douglas High School Shooting


News coverage of events like the Douglas High School Shooting has become all too familiar. Aerial photos of students leaving the scene as police enter the building, crying parents anxiously waiting nearby thankful for cell phones, and emergency vehicles trying to help the wounded are part of the pattern. The suspect is captured - his classmates and social media once again reflecting patterns of mental illness and access to weapons. In the aftermath, we again hear stories by students, teachers, parents, and others who feel that gun control and regulations would make a significant difference ... maybe.

Once again,, I am blogging something that you and I already know. As the simulation of our reality is imploding, so too are the behavior patterns of those within. In our algorithm, patterns repeat, as we have been witnessing, meaning that terrorism and violence will continue by those programmed to enact them. The perpetrator in this case is your typical isolated youth with emotional, and based on the fact that he was left back twice, intellectual challenges who feels isolated, considers joining the military or perhaps a radical Islamic group - anything but living his day-to-day life which shows him no future.

Many in that age group hate school and have no direction for the future. They look back at the generations before them, current global situations, the patterns of our president and the unfolding secrets of government, and wonder what kind of future is ahead. Will there be martial law in the near future when having a gun to protect themselves is important? Have they been abused emotionally and physically to the point with keeping a weapon is also for their own protection? Do playing video games and following terrorist activities influence their decisions?

Mental illness its generally peaks between the ages of 19 and 20 which is when psychosis and other serious illnesses that have been brewing through the teen years take over. How does one quiet the mind and try to function in today's world? Some turn to medical professionals, holistic practitioners, others to drugs. This is no different than when we were young and growing up, only in those years everything was hidden. It led to adults who abuse women, children, coworkers, and others around them. Those who abuse in childhood almost always abuse in adulthood. In today's world the abuses they portray in our little simulation are coming to the fore as sexual predators and worse.

Wednesday night

I spoke with my friend Marilyn who lives within walking distance of the school. Her son's two children attend the school. Her grandson Jeremy, a freshman, ran and hid in the bushes when the shooting started. Jeremey and his sister, Jessica, a Junior, are safe but badly shaken. How does one heal from this, if ever? The suspect, 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz, had been expelled from the school for violent behavior bringing weapons to school and showing them off. This is a need for power. He and his brother, also disturbed, were foster children whose foster mother had recently died. When he came back to the school, the classrooms were locked so he pulled the fire alarm and started shooting as the students and teachers ran out. Somehow he got his hands on a $2,000 gun. FYI: Marilyn is the friend who sent me the birthday card below. My friend Linda, also in the pic below, has a grandson, Ethan, who was in the neighboring middle school which was on lockdown. Ethan is okay but also shaken.

Tuesday

Not much new going on that is not political these days and I just won't/can't follow any of it. I've been spending time with friends as the celebrations for my 75th began and still don't feel the least bit older. There is nothing like celebrating a milestone birthday (February 17th). Today's client is a woman from Oakland, CA. who turned 72 on Feb. 7th. Maybe we should audition for a TV commercial as so many are focused on seniors these days. Next stop ... Valentine's Day when I celebrate my birthday with another friend, followed by cousins from LA on Thursday. Saturday is another family celebration as the celebrations continue. Really look forward to more warmer weather and seeing everyone. For what it's worth, no one I know took the flu shot this year and so far no one got sick. You either are guided to take it or not. Friday begins winter break here in the city when children are on vacation and many families go south for a week in Florida.

Great Minds




Wernher von Braun takes you to WWII, covert projects, and the start of human-alien technology interaction. Published works by Wernher von Braun take you to Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick: 2001 A Space Odyssey and of course Z and the soundtrack "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". I love it when a plan comes together and I figure it out. Lots of clues coming from Z lately many of which take me to my ET roots.

Elon Musk Falcon Heavy Test Flight takes us to Tesla - The dummy payload for the test flight was a sports car owned by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, a midnight cherry, first generation Tesla Roadster. SpaceX stated that the payload had to be "something fun and without irreplaceable sentimental value". Sitting in the driver's seat of the Roadster is "Starman", a dummy astronaut clad in a SpaceX spacesuit. He has his right hand on the steering wheel and left elbow resting on the open window sill. Starman is named for the David Bowie song "Starman". The car's sound system was looping the symbolic Bowie songs Space Oddity and Life on Mars?

"Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) takes you to Friedrich Nietzsche. I watched one other recorded movie from the past yesterday The Day After Tomorrow (2004). A group stranded in the downtown branch of the NY Public Library must burn books to survive. The only book that they chose to save was by Frederick Nietzsche. The Day After Tomorrow is a Roland Emmerich film which takes us through the Stargate (1994) when Crystalinks was first underdevelopment.


Yesterday, as I was editing my file on Mars, suddenly Z came along and told me to turn on the ShowTime Channel just in time to watch the closing scene from the 1984 film Starman where the alien (Jeff Bridges) and Jenny Hayden are in the crater in AZ and the UFO comes for him. I immediately recorded that scene then noted that Starman was playing again at 3:00 PM which I also recorded and watched live. Something is happening ... at least for me.

Happy Valentine's Day From Z

Auguste Mariette

Auguste Mariette was the foremost Egyptologist of his
generation - founder of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
He visited temples and befriended a Bedouin tribe
who led him to Saqqara - the Saqqara Pyramids


From my first collection of Egyptian antiquities,

I recognized that

the world shall hence forth

learn about Egypt's Pharaonic heritage

and where it leads

in the end.
