Politics ~ Go With The Flow

As the 2016-2017 TV season comes to an end, this week I watched several of my favorite political dramas all of which depict corruption and how one maneuvers out of tricky situations, calling in favors and perpetuating a cliff hangar that lures us into the next season.

In what we define as "the real world"- political games create situations in which we, the audience, must speculate about what's going on behind the scenes. Hidden agendas rule - truth not known except to the creators of the program.

What seems to dominate in this timeline are one or more groups, fed up with Government failures, willing to go to any lengths to take it down and create something new. It's the old "Destruction-Resurrection Hypothesis."

To understand the algorithm of our reality, is to understand that even a new government will play by the same rules perhaps with better special effects due to technology but non-the-less all recycled. Can we break the pattern? Not until the simulation ends ... that timeline just ahead. Try to stay afloat and keep your head above water.

In the news ...

I've watched former political advisors and news anchors talk about the games then and now. They all agree Trump is floating down the river of self-destruction. Currently, a sense of crisis deepens in the capital after Trump's abrupt dismissal of the F.B.I. director, James Comey, days after he requested more resources for the bureau's investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election. Then, there's the Michael Flynn fiasco. We go with the flow in the sine wave of reality ...

The River Styx

In Greek mythology, Styx is a deity and a river that forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (the domain often called Hades, which also is the name of its ruler). The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which sometimes is also called the Styx. According to Herodotus, the river Styx originates near Feneos. Styx is also a goddess with prehistoric roots in Greek mythology as a daughter of Tethys, after whom the river is named and because of whom it had miraculous powers.

Happy Wesak

Have you ever been to Mt. Shasta on Wesak (Vesak)?

I was never called to this annual - shall we call it a spiritual pilgrimage - but those who have return with incredible stories.

The journey coincides with the Full Flower Moon in May, Flower of Life Symbolism, and the birth of Buddha.

Full Moon 20° Scorpio

Full Flower Moon

Wesak is celebrated each year on this full moon.

Flower Moon - Flower of Life Symbolism

Wesak or Vesak, also known as Buddha Purnima and Buddha Day,
is a holiday observed traditionally by Buddhists on different days.

Buddha's birthplace faces serious air pollution threat BBC - May 10, 2017
The historic site of Buddha's birthplace in Nepal faces a serious threat from air pollution, scientists and officials have warned. Recent data collected from air quality monitoring stations in five places across the country show Lumbini is highly polluted.The warnings have come amid expanding industrialization near the sacred site.It is already located in a pollution hotspot on the Gangetic plains. For the month of January, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Lumbini, in southwest Nepal, was measured at 173.035 micrograms per cubic metre. The reading for the neighboring town of Chitwan was 113.32 and the capital, Kathmandu, which is known for its high pollution levels, was at 109.82.

James Comey

There's no way to escape blogging about the ongoing political upheavals that keep many engaged and others wondering if and when they will end. You know the answer ... they will continue on until the end with or without Trump as president.

Screaming at us on the news yesterday was Trump firing James Comey. It was predictable as Comey moves forward with the investigation of Russian connections to the November 2016 United States presidential election. Something always seemed wrong about the timing of the Hillary Clinton email fiasco shortly before the election. Was Comey coerced? What was going on behind the scenes? Will we ever know the truth? In the history of the Trump administration this story will stand out ... among others.

James Comey ...

Step by Step Behind the Scenes of James Comey's Epic Firing CNN - May 10, 2017

Did President Trump fire James Comey as part of a cover-up? BBC - May 10, 2017
The abruptness and timing of Mr Comey's dismissal, to put it mildly, is highly suspicious. Just over a week ago, the FBI director talked about his agency's investigation into Russian meddling in the US presidential election - and possible Russian ties to the Trump campaign - before a Senate committee. He was scheduled to appear before Congress again to discuss "worldwide threats" on Thursday. Mr Trump has been tweeting almost non-stop about how the allegations are a "hoax" and the investigations are a "taxpayer funded charade". Now the man overseeing that investigation has been shown the door - by Mr Trump himself.

What You Need to Know About Trump, Comey and the Russia Probe NBC - May 10, 2017
What's the latest on the Russia investigation and where does fired FBI Director James Comey fit in? President Donald Trump's decision to terminate Comey sent shockwaves through Washington on Tuesday, with many senior Democrats accusing the White House of undermining the agency's investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to prevent Hillary Clinton's election. There are, in fact, multiple ongoing storylines and investigations related to Russia so it's worth taking a moment to break them out individually and see how Comey's ouster intersects with them.

Medical Screening

This time of the year many people have medical check-ups as the battle wages on for Health Care Insurance in a world of broken souls ...

My daughter Zsia's medical plan offers a futurist body-type scan where everything is diagnosed as you lay here, way beyond current scans. She said the results are unbelievable and walked away knowing nothing was wrong with her. Let's check out this new tech...

These ER Docs Invented a Real Star Trek Tricorder NBC - May 9, 2017
he original 1960s Star Trek series took place in a universe of the future with personal communicators, holograms, and the technology to send humans beyond our solar system. In many ways that future is here. We have smartphones, virtual reality, space travel - and now the tricorder. In the show, the tricorder was a handheld medical device that could scan a patient, read his or her vital signs, and diagnose problems in minutes. A working prototype invented by a Philadelphia-based emergency room physician Basil Harris may not look like the ones used by Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Commander Beverly Crusher throughout the sci-fi series, but it's advanced enough to offer a medical diagnosis in minutes and anyone can use it.

This day is part of Teacher Appreciation Week the first full week in May of each year.

We are all students and teachers forever on a quest for answers
From the simple things in our lives to those that challenge humanity.

Does anybody remember sitting at a desk like this in school?

I loved the glass inkwell that is missing from this picture. I remember fountain pens ... and yes using a quill pen in another lifetime. Today these desks are collectibles that we take out and dust off like memories from another timeline. Computers are so much more fun and faster. Indeed ... I like when time and tech speed up our journey through the looking glass (monitor).

Sperm Donor Relationships 2017

The Crown Jewels

Did anyone watch "The Last 100 Days of Diana" on TV Sunday night? I remembered the news coverage of Princess Diana's life and feeling sorry for someone who thought she had found her Prince Charming only to discover he was in love with another woman ... [In today's world it could easily have been another man].

Unrequited love creates many soap operas. Diana and Charles married on July 29, 1981. Four months later on November 17, 1981 - from the soap opera "General Hospital" - Luke and Laura wed in a ceremony just as famous. Both marriages - fiction and non-fiction - were doomed to drama.

I remember doing a read on Charles and Diana as the world watched her walk down the aisle and knowing it was doomed from the start - too young, too many issues. Their marriage is what I call a "Sperm Donor Relationship" in which two people come together - have karma to create children - after which it's over rather quickly or they do a slow fade while making each other crazy in the process.

Present day ...

We arrive at 2017 and the potential for Diana's son Harry to marry American actress Meghan Markle who I adore from the TV show "Suits." Recently, Harry has admitted to working on his unresolved issues from the time of his Mum's death.

Questions:
Is Harry marriage material?
Is he being pressured by his family to marry?
Will Meghan adapt well to his lifestyle away from friends and family?
Is this another Sperm Donor Relationship?

New York City 40th Five Boro Bike Tour.

32,000 cyclists of all skill levels come from around the world to roll through every borough of New York City on streets totally free of cars. For one day, the roads are yours, the bridges are yours, the City is yours - there's no better way to experience the Big Apple. Produced in conjunction with the City of New York, the TD Five Boro Bike Tour Presented by REI is the largest charitable bike ride in the U.S., with proceeds funding our free bike education programs. Last year they taught more than 17,000 kids and adults how to ride. When you ride with Bike New York, you're helping us in our mission to empower more New Yorkers with the skills to ride safely and confidently on city streets. The bicycles themselves range from simple to very expensive - seating for one, two or three riders, and often creatively designed seats for children.

Parallel Revolutions

Macron and Le Pen in French election run-off BBC - May 7, 2017

Somewhere along the way you studied the French Revolution (1789 - 1799) which influenced the American Revolution (1765 - 1783).

I have seen myself in both lifetimes which seems a little hard to believe as they were so close in proximity. So how do I explain it?

2. My consciousness grid connected with characters in those timelines placing me there for the experience, just as we are here today.

As patterns repeat (think fractals of creation) - this takes us to politics today. French politics is highlighting one day before the current presidential elections. It's 2017 ... more foreign hacking and another French Revolution just as we had another American Revolution November 8, 2016. When the old ways no longer work people rebel (it's in our programming) and hope for the best. As we live in 3D or bipolar dramas, there is no solution for peace. Factions will always rise up and want power.

Marriage of the Minds ... Something old ...something new ... something borrowed ... something that makes us feel blue. The Best Man or Best Woman does not always win in Politics and other grid inserts. The winner of tomorrow's election in France will change the face of the country and there will be endless protests just as we experience here.

Pinned

Fellow classmate, Marilyn Garber in Florida, sent me a pic of our graduation pin. I doubt that I bought one, and definitely don't have it but still have the year book. How many years ago did we all graduate Lincoln High School in Brooklyn? 10? 20? 30? 40? 50? Oh my ... that was 57 years ago! I'm cool with that.

Kentucky Derby

May 6, 2017

7:00 pm give or take: Before the race started I was watching the people and horses as they walked by - while talking to some of the Florida friends I reconnected with through Facebook last month - Marilyn, Anita, Mike and Al. When I told them about the 143rd Kentucky Derby, like a horse racing to the finish line, they turned on the TV cheering along with me and the record number 170,513 people at Churchill Downs as "Always Dreaming" won. Exciting race. "Always Dreaming" should go on to bigger and better things as we get closer to the Triple Crown. Time to check my winnings with my son-in-law Jon. Did he say $110? Yes, he did. My grandson Matthew also won $50. Why did I pick "Always Dreaming"? When was deciding on a horse, Z said, "Reality is a dream". I got the message and blogged about it here and on Facebook. Thanks Z, who is always "my" favorite.

Sports Roundup

It's a great time for sports. I grew up watching professional sports and loved being a High School cheerleader though cheer was different in those days. I could never tumble like my granddaughter Joie shown here after her Cheer Team won the National Championships in Las Vegas.

I married a man who also loved sports, so we attended all sorts of events, though I drew the line at wrestling, golf, and tennis. As New Yorkers we loved our home teams especially the NY Rangers (hockey). Today at 3pm EDT we find the Rangers in Ottawa advancing in the Stanley Cup. Good luck.

Anybody up for a marathon? So close ...Italy: Kenyan runner comes close -- but 2-hour marathon barrier remains unbroken Eliud Kipchoge was seconds from making history Saturday, but the Olympic champion finished just short of becoming the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours. Kipchoge ran the 26.2 miles in 2 hours, 25 seconds, smashing Dennis Kimetto's world mark of 2:02:57 and raising hopes that one of the most famous sports barriers can be broken.

This may not be a marathon, but the New York City 40th Five Boro Bike Tour is scheduled for Sunday, rain or shine as riders from across the country generally participate. As they stop in the park across the street for free water and fruit, I generally go downstairs to meet people with the most interesting backgrounds. The bicycles themselves range from simple, to very expensive - seating for one, two or three riders, and often creatively designed seats for children. Generally by the day before the event, the park across the street has porta-potties set up, but as of this post, I don't see anything. I guess I'll know soon as this is a big event that affects traffic across the city and the plans of people who need to travel for work or play. I have one client on Sunday who is coming from upstate by train and subway.

Highlighting sports this weekend is the 143rd Kentucky Derby. In the 2017 lineup we find these horses. I already spoke to my son-in-law Jon who bets for me. Nothing will top the excitement and winnings of 2015, when American Pharoah won the Triple Crown. Remember that? This year Jon and I like Always Dreaming. Jon likes that horse along with Thunder Snow.

When you think of the Kentucky Derby what comes to mind are the fashions. Rain might hamper things for those who want to show off the fancy clothing, but that's something we face every day due to increased climate change. The weather reports show rain today in Louisville ...but there are indoor areas not to mention this past week of celebrations. It's like Fashion Week in Louisville. Events will begin at Churchhill Downs airing from 2:30 PM EDT with post time at 6:34pm.

In Control?

Obviously we can't control the hologram of reality, though many believe so, but what about self-control and understanding? You've read the books, articles, and blogs, seen the videos, and have either decided to fight for control, experience it vicariously through others, or it is beyond your programmed experiences. We all know it's not easy to change one's programmed addictive behavior patterns. All you can do is wait for the programming of one set of experiences to segue to something that's hopefully better.

This week two A-List celebrities - Brad Pitt and Miley Cyrus - talked about ending substance abuse for the sake of those they love but mostly for control of their lives. Their descriptions of being free are catalyzing to those in similar situations. Hopefully they remain clean because there is nothing like being free of chemicals that influence thinking and behavior. Try it.

It's all about control and your consciousness surveying your experience to shift grids in your favor. It's about your emotional package highlighted by fears and resulting anxiety. Do you feel in control of your life? Afraid of ... ? The biggest high is being in control of your destiny and aligning with unfolding events. You won't know it until you get there.

Trump on Cinco de Mayo

It's a funny thing about Trump. He got nominated and elected against all odds. He had a crappy first 100 days. He admits to missing his old job where he was in control and made decisions alone, his home in Trump Towers, and driving. [Interesting that he holds the steering wheel the way I do - 12 - control.] He has so many flaws it's hard to keep up, though Stephen Colbert and others try. Some believe he will go too far one day and get impeached but I don't see it. Something is keeping him In Place. Don't see Trump's wall with Mexico happening for many reason. Mexico ~ so much to say about it on Cinco de Mayo ~ from its amazing history and cultures to corruption, and Mt. Popocatepetl where UFO's come and go as caught on video cam. Maybe aliens put him in place - no not illegal ones - the space kind.

Identity Theft 2017

Anything can be hacked. Though you don't read much about it these days, theft identity still occurs with people seeking ways to protect themselves. While shopping with a friend in Walgreen's, she suggested a billfold for my credit cards so criminals walking or driving by can't download my information. This applies not only to inner cities but smaller communities as well.

Another friend in New Jersey recently tried to apply for a drivers license in Florida, as he is moving there, only to discover that someone had used his identity 20 years ago, was arrested for DWI, and now that there is a national database, there was a warrant out for his arrest. This matter is quickly being resolved but it's amazing how far back these things can go and how they can have ramifications on your life today.

The suggestions in the article below can easily be hacked. Voice identity for professional hackers is not hard.

Mystery Airship of 1896

The Mystery Airship of 1896 The Unmuseum

You know that lights in the sky, and endless UFO sightings, awaken one's connections to extraterrestrial activities and visitors. There's been lots of events since the beginning - but I will not be impressed until we meet the aliens - who, what, when, where, and why answered - or I get Taken again though I don't sense it.

The Mystery Airships were a class of unidentified flying objects, the best-known series of which were reported in newspapers in western states of the U.S., (1896-97) (1909-1910). They were seen throughout Britain in 1909-1913 and New Zealand and Australia in 1909. During the WWI (1914-1918) there were mystery aircraft scares in South Africa, Canada, Great Britain and the US.

Freedom Day

May 3, 2017

World Press Freedom Day

Where would we be without the ability to express ourselves in written words? We would be back in the "dark ages" when things were hidden in caves (the mind) but not recorded. Ancient tomes and manuscripts still come to light connecting, past, present and future - clues for readers to unravel the journey of humanity in its many facets. Life is after all a mystery to find the truth behind the illusion. What we read may not always be fact but something attracts the reader to those words when they are ready to read them in any form.

I've never seen as much attention focused on the press than that which resulted after the Trump Insert began in 2015. Everyone got involved expressing their opinions on fake news and truth. Reality is a mix of both to keep readers engaged. Has Freedom of the press ever been manipulated? We know it has but that's our reality ... abuse, healing, followed by truth at the end of ACT III ... third dimension or physical reality.

Keep reading and writing - be it your personal journey to heal, a blog to help others, a children's story which reflects the emotional body, or something else, as we all have a story to tell.

Murder, Mayhem and Love

As we age, we become authorities on the subject of love, or come to the conclusion that it confuses the hell out of us, when we get it wrong time after time. Love is an adventure most of us embark on at least once in our lifetime. To be lucky in love is to find the right partner with whom you share life's trial and tribulations - growing old together. The heart wants what the heart wants ... which hopefully is the path to happiness not destruction. In the end, partners pass on leaving us to tap into our spiritual self to create continuity, if desired. Soulmates await reunion in the "afterlife" as they further expand their knowledge of how reality works.

Brain chemistry (programming)

Romanic love does strange things to people - from brain chemistry (dopamine) to the programmed behavior that ensues. Some say we are blinded by love - or what we believe is love - but in hindsight those involved in negatively programmed scenarios learn tough lessons at great personal cost. It's the stuff romantic novels, screen plays, and other forms of media bring to life ... and death.

Murder and mayhem

There have been endless stories throughout history of notorious couples often seen as romantic adventures to some but to others as folly. What comes to mind are the adventures of Bonnie and Clyde American criminals who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing people and killing when cornered or confronted.

June 2015

You may remember the 2015 case of Joyce Mitchell, who aided the prison break of her lover going to prison herself. Mitchell helped two convicted murderers escape an upstate New York prison. A large portion of the local population were terrorized, many forced to flee their homes. Some did not not have places to go, and had to rent hotel rooms or leave the area. Many residents did not sleep for many nights, afraid that these two extremely violent individuals might be outside their homes. Law enforcement officers came from all over the country. They traversed very inhospitable territory, never knowing if the next step they took in deeply wooded areas might be their last.

Present day ... radicalizing love

Many have become radicalized by ISIS - each reacting based on their programming. Is it to make a difference - a force that guides human behavior? In the name of a mythological god? Anger and frustration at global situations? Feeling there is nothing to live for? Mental illness? Substance or other abuse? How about in the name of Love? The story currently unfolding reads like something from a movie script, but it's real with a unique twist.

The FBI translator who went rogue and married an ISIS terrorist CNN - May 1, 2017
An FBI translator with a top-secret security clearance traveled to Syria in 2014 and married a key ISIS operative she had been assigned to investigate. The rogue employee, Daniela Greene, lied to the FBI about where she was going and warned her new husband he was under investigation, according to federal court records. Greene's saga, which has never been publicized, exposes an embarrassing breach of national security at the FBI - an agency that has made its mission rooting out ISIS sympathizers across the country. It also raises questions about whether Greene received favorable treatment from Justice Department prosecutors who charged her with a relatively minor offense, then asked a judge to give her a reduced sentence in exchange for her cooperation, the details of which remain shrouded in court-ordered secrecy.

The Next Battleground

I know what many are thinking when they read this title (tagline) ... the next battlefield is Space. Research shows that humans are preparing for combat in space especially on the Moon and Mars. There will humans against humans as is our programming, and for some who await the return of extraterrestrials the potential for a battle with aliens is possible, if not already happening. If you're thinking ... benevolent aliens ... keep in mind that in duality all things have positives and negatives.

So where is the next battleground? Throughout human history the global landscape has been torn apart ... obviously continuing on even with the threat of annihilation. In recent years, with global warming, another door opened ... the Arctic. If you follow the news you know that its rich in natural resources as countries like Russia, Canada, and the US stake their claims preparing for confrontation in 40° below zero temperatures. The Arctic contains significant amounts of minerals, boreal forest, marine life and fresh water. The United States Geological Survey estimates that 22 percent of the world's oil and natural gas could be located beneath the Arctic.

A video on the NBC article below shows Russian Troops and American Arctic Marines preparing for future combat. Some of you get that the nature of the human experiences centers around war, while others find solace in "love and light," "peace for all," which we known is not possible in a bipolar physical reality.

Through the wars of humanity, we find beauty in the Arctic which features spectacular auroras (polar lights or northern lights) especially during a period of maximum solar flare activity a.k.a. CMEs.

On the theory of polar icecaps and hidden UFO bases ... the answer is Yes. A quick remote view can get you there, but they're not as extensive as those under Antarctica. Then, there's the adventures of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and the Hollow Earth Hypothesis ... as our storyline closes in on hidden truths and human alchemy (gold, Anunnaki themes).

May Day

The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane. Many pagan celebrations were abandoned or Christianized during the process of conversion in Europe. A more secular version of May Day continues to be observed in Europe and America. In this form, May Day may be best known for its tradition of dancing the maypole dance and crowning of the Queen of the May. Various Neopagan groups celebrate reconstructed (to varying degrees) versions of these customs on May 1. The day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and in these circles May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Newsreel or News Real

Saturday, after reading clients, I spent the rest of the day with friends, away from political rhetoric and related news. There's interesting things to talk about besides Trump on his 100th day in office and the WHCD which covered Fake News..

When you look at political scenarios, and the characters within over the past 100 years, they often seem ridiculous as your mind processes that we are far more sophisticated today. Think again. Same scenarios, new cast of characters or souls having simultaneous experiences.

The black-and-white newsreels of the 20th century are projected illusion just as today's digital news portrays our experiences. Fake news has always existed a product of conspiracy in one form or another ...

Let's go back in time ...

When Lightning Strikes

Saturday, 5:15 AM ... There I was, fast asleep, when the sound of non-stop thunder and endless lightning woke me and thousands of others affected by this storm which slowly swept across my area. I watched from my bedroom window noting that lights were on in homes as far as I could see. This was one powerful storm that went on for about 45 minutes as the lightning never paused. I know what you're thinking .. it's all part of the changing landscape in end times.

Once awake, I decided to lay back in bed with the shade up watching the storm alongside last night's episode of Ancient Aliens - thunder and lightning creating interesting special effects. "Alien Hunters" was a review of the UFO phenomenon and what lies ahead in the search for extraterrestrial intervention with humans since the beginning.

Just as I've pieced together science and pseudoscience for the past 22 years on Crystalinks, so too do the writers and producers of this series, now in its 13th year. Anyone programmed for the journey for the past decades knows how the dots connect, but bear in mind there are newbies out there who are just figuring things out. Ah, but they have the advantage of getting info with lightning speed ... a parallel for the acceleration of information in end times.

Whatever you think you know - no matter how you received your information - research, personal experiences, channeling, dreams, etc. is only the tip of the iceberg. What remains ...
