Could Crystalinks Lose Its UK Readers?

UK to Censor Esoteric Websites   Ultra Culture - July 30, 2013
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has recently set large segments of the world up in arms by deciding to set up a country-wide firewall that will block access to pornography unless citizens opt out. (Similar measures were tried earlier across the EU and summarily thrown out.) But the block apparently won't be limited to porn: ISPs will also be forced to block violent material, extremist sites, pro-anorexia and pro-suicide sites, alcohol, smoking, web forums and even ... esoteric material.

Toddler Tech

Children today have been born into the age of technology, their minds easily able to adapt to the ongoing changes. My grandchildren have been all working with iPads from the beginning, and with the exception of Noah, 7, all have iPhones and other Apple products. My grandson Dylan, 12, prefers the iPad mini, as it is easy to carry around.

My daughter Tracy teaches gifted children in Gilbert, AZ. where every child gets an iPad for school use. In preparation for the start of the school year next Monday, I bought Tracy's children Joie, 10, and Giovanni, almost 13, the Kindle Fire HD, which they are preparing with books and other things they can use for school, not to mention games, etc. for fun. Joie told me that she can synch her Apple products to her Kindle. Have fun, guys.

With increasing violence and the natural disasters in the world today, children need a cell phone. I bought my first phone in the 1990's as a safety measure should I ever need it, and have updated it ever since. My Samsung Galaxy 3 is now outdated. Once I am eligible for an upgrade on 10/10, I plan to get the latest version of Galaxy Smartphones - the Galaxy 4 Note which is bigger as I have room in my bag for it. Smartphones are as personal in choice as buying a car.

Today, children text ... endlessly .. which they seem to prefer to a phone call. They no longer learn script in school. It's all changing.

How young is too young to give a child a smartphone? It depends on the family situation and knowing if the child is responsible to take care of the phone.

My grandson Michael, 15, got a cell phone in first grade. One day my daughter, Zsia, was 10 minutes late picking him up from school on her way home from work, due to traffic. Little Michael chose to wait outside rather than return to the school as he waited. Panicked, she raced along the highway, relieved when she saw him, yet wondering why someone in the school didn't see him standing there alone. Though they live in a very safe area, one never knows. That day Michael got his first phone, on a family plan ... and was always reachable after that.

Today, in the news we find this story ...

Toddler Tech: How Young Is Too Young For a Smartphone?   Live Science - July 30, 2013
They may not be able to walk, talk or even be out of diapers yet, but that isn't stopping a number of parents from getting their children smartphones. New research has found that one-quarter of children ages 2 and younger own a smartphone, their parents say. Overall, 44 percent of children under age 17 own a smartphone, new research by e-Markerter found. Smartphones were most prevalent among children between ages 14 and 17, with two-thirds of respondents in that age group saying they owned a smartphone. Nearly 40 percent of children between ages 6 and 9 and 54 percent of 10- to 13-year-olds say they also own a phone.

Sunday in the City

Yesterday was a gorgeous day, spending time with friends discussing everything in the news. Everyone gets the economy and the deception. Lots of laughs about Anthony Weiner, but the Snowden Affair took center stage with most agreeing he was programmed to come forward now as technology reveals the truth. The world has problems at every turn. Most things come with challenges though many have developed coping tools or they would lose it. With greater understanding, we move forward ... but wonder how long the yellow brick road goes ...

Today is overcast with rain predicted. Lots of clients coming here, all from prior years, so it's about catching up.

One of the women, a mom of 3 children now adults, goes back to the time when the concept of Indigo Children highlighted the metaphysical arena. This was just a title for those with emotional problems and learning challenges, parents rationalizing that their children were here with special purpose for the future of our changing reality. After years of anguish, most of these children have now been clinically diagnosed - endless ways to help them have emerged - so maybe that was their contribution to the human equation. Some have thrived in their own way, while others had negative destines - from crime to suicide. Most do not want to have children, their own lives a struggle they must handle each day.

It's not easy existing in this program ... but we do our best.

Weekend Review

Let's review this week. Why the interest in the penis? There's often humor about the subject, and we all need a good laugh, especially when we incorporate it with politics. It takes us away from personal and global dramas, and gives us a collective laugh. Like anything else, it is only a temporary fix, but well needed.

Next ... why all the fuss about the royal baby? Women and creation have highlighted the news for years. We follow families perhaps to heal issues, to see others' dramas, or something else. It's just a diversion as is most else. In the case of Prince George of Cambridge, it's about his parents and their positive energies. Personally, I think monarchies are ridiculous and should all cease to exist, making no sense in the 21st century, but a baby is a baby and most people embrace their innocence and journey.

Have fun this weekend and don't forget to laugh.

Anthony Weiner, the Peter Tweeter, is Back ...

Wednesday July 24, 2013

In my wake-up dream Monday morning, soon to be born Prince George of Cambridge showed me his penis so I would know William and Kate were having a baby boy, who arrived hours later. The baby is part of the royal family and the political future of the UK.

Let's move to politics here in the city and another baby boy with a link to politics - Jordan Zain Weiner, born December 2011. His mom is Huma Abedin currently a director working on the transition team of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

His father is the notorious peter tweeter - Anthony Weiner - forced to resign in June 2011 after a sexting scandal. Weiner is running for mayor of NYC (we are so screwed) - acknowledging his shortcomings once again and defending what he says is past activity, though many women have come forward who sexted with him.

Knowing there were other videos out there, he really has balls to seek election at a time Americans hope their elected officials are straight shooters and scandal free. Seriously? That will never happen. The games of politics are always laced with deception and intrigue, sex being a "key" part of it. These men work hard and "play hard" - and like many of us, outgrow the partner we started with - moving on with our next karmic relationship. Tuesday, it all hit the fan for Weiner - putting him back on the front page - this time dragging his wife into the mix. This marriage is so doomed. I wonder if Bill (Clinton) advised her to stay?

Voyages to the Stars

A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Train tracks going off to a horizon point symbolize a life path. A star is a metaphor for a soul. It can also be the source of creation. Many people are crashing now, returning to this star.

The Pilgrimage and the Train Wreck in Spain

On June 6, 2013, Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed landed in San Francisco. Monday, Southwest Airlines Flight 345 crashed upon landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. Thursday, we find the trail derailment in Spain. Most of these incidents seem to be caused by human error. Why are humans so burned out and self destructive now, resulting in collateral damage to those around them?

The driver, who was injured and is under guard in hospital, is accused of "crimes related to the accident", they say. There are reports that the train was traveling at more than double the speed limit at the time of the crash. Spain has declared three days of national mourning over the crash, one of its worst-ever rail disasters.

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. The city has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the city's cathedral, as destination of the Way of St. James, a leading Catholic pilgrimage route originated in the 9th century. In 1985, the city's Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

According to legend, Compostela derives from the Latin Campus Stellae "field of the star". In 813, according to medieval legend, the light of a bright star guided a shepherd who was watching his flock at night to the burial site in Santiago de Compostela. follow the star ...

The Voyage

Most days, I see the large cruise ships, from around the world, as they sail under the Verrazano Bridge to their docking destinations in the city. At night, I can stand on my terrace and watch the flashes from passengers taking pictures as ships sail out to the Atlantic Ocean, another group of souls on a journey. I've been both a guest on a cruise ship and an employee, working as a lecturer and a psychic reader. It's generally a great adventure with most ships going to different ports of call along the way. Ships often feature speciality cruises such as: corporate, singles, psychic, gay, among other forums or special occasions.

Life is filled with metaphors and illusion. A cruise ship, like any other vehicle of transportation, is a metaphor for a life path. It can also symbolize death. The steering wheel is a metaphor for the wheel of karma/life ... steering us in the right direction as the ship sails through rough seas or calm waters.

In metaphysics, the Merkaba is a ship of sorts that transports consciousness from one reality to another, then sails off into the sunset, at the end of time. During a reading, when I see a ship coming closer, it means that person's ship is about to come in.

Ships have also been connected to travel through time and space. Don't you think it's time we learned what those ships look like and how they perform? It would change everything as we know it, and could help explain the hologram (grid travel). We have been kept in the dark way too long and are so ready to move past the illusion.

As with anything else - cruise ships must be maintained and upgraded frequently for safety and convenience to passengers and crew. If not, disasters result such as the Carnival Cruise Lines Accidents in 2013

Adding to the drama, it should not surprise you that crime exists on cruise ships. You've seen it in the movies and TV, as life imitates art.

  Passengers lack public info on cruise ship crime   CNN - July 25, 2013
Vegas stole the slogan. But cruise ships can also lay claim: Whatever happens on cruise ships, stays on cruise ships. Only a tiny portion of alleged crimes on cruise ships is ever publicly disclosed, according to a report by the Senate Commerce Committee. Of 959 crimes reported to the FBI since 2011, only 31 were disclosed on a web site maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.

So there you have it ...

Now, take a pen and a piece of paper. Draw a ship or something that represents a ship to you. Add details to the picture. When you are through, it is time to define your life path today, then review and analyze it.

My ship is the US Eldridge from the Philadelphia Experiment. (Ellie drawing layered rectangles with the name on the side ... also adding wavy lines). I am alone on the bridge and loving it. ... The ship and I just disappeared in space-time. (Ellie getting another paper) If it went through an anomaly, the ship and I stayed in the same place but different timeline. If it went through a wormhole, it would be in another space-time altogether. (Ellie drawing a place with a pink sky with domed buildings and awesome tech). Think I'll stay there for now.

When former U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner admitted two years ago to sending explicit messages and photos to women online, his wife was notably absent, letting Weiner make his public mea culpa alone. But on Tuesday, Huma Abedin was front and center as Weiner confessed to having further explicit exchanges, even after the first scandal forced his resignation from Congress. She had her first news conference on Tuesday, however, and she admitted to being nervous -- but it was her moment to defend her husband of three years and describe her struggle to forgive him.

The Phallus in Symbolism and in Nature

The Phallis in many ancient cultures symbolizes fertility.

Min - The Egyptian Fertility God

Min is an Ancient Egyptian god whose cult originated in predynastic times (4th millennium BC). He was represented in many different forms, but was often represented in male human form, shown with an erect penis which he holds in his left hand and an upheld right arm holding a flail. As Khem or Min, he was the god of reproduction; as Khnum, he was the creator of all things, "the maker of gods and men". As a god of fertility, he was shown as having black skin to reflect the fertile black mud of the Nile's inundation. His cult was strongest in Coptos and Akhmim (Panopolis), where in his honor great festivals were held celebrating his "coming forth" with a public procession and presentation of offerings. His other associations include the eastern desert and links to the god Horus.

Phallic Architecture   Wikipedia

Phallic Architecture   Google Images

Phallic architecture consciously or unconsciously creates a symbolic representation of the phallus. Buildings intentionally or unintentionally resembling the human penis are a source of amusement to locals and tourists in various places around the world. Deliberate phallic imagery is found in ancient cultures and in the links to ancient cultures found in traditional artifacts. The worship of the phallus has existed since the Stone Age, and was particularly prevalent during the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age. Phallic architecture became prominent in ancient Egypt and Greece, where genitalia and human sexuality received a high degree of attention. The ancient Greeks honored the phallus and celebrated phallic festivals.

In art and architecture, acutely vertical buildings are often seen as a symbol of masculinity and horizontal buildings are seen as more feminine. The terms "phallic verticality", "phallic erectility" and "phallic brutality" have been referred to by architectural theorists, including the likes of French sociologist Henri Lefebvre, who argued that buildings of phallic architectural type metaphorically symbolize "force, male fertility, masculine violence". Phallic erectility "bestows a special status on the perpendicular, proclaiming phallocracy as the orientation of space" while phallic brutality "does not remain abstract, for it is the brutality of political power. Sigmund Freud metaphorically drew a comparison between "high achievement and the acquisition of wealth as building monuments to our penises." Contemporary scholars in architectural criticism have investigated the relationship between architecture and the body, sexuality, sex, power, and place.

The 102-story Empire State Building, located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street, is one of the world's most famous landmarks, and is generally thought of as an American cultural icon. Cited by Valerie Briginshaw as a symbol of American pride and "the ultimate sign of American phallic power", it was inaugurated on 31 May 1931.

Iran: Khalid Nabi Cemetery

Khalid Nabi Cemetery (Nabi means "prophet" or "Khaled the messenger") is a cemetery in northeastern Iran near the border with Turkmenistan, roughly 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Gonbad-e Kavous, near the hills of Turkmen Sahra It is a notable example of phallic architecture and a major tourist attraction. In the graveyard of the 600 odd standing stones (symbolic of tombstones of male and female genitals) some are cylindrical in shape, height varying from 1-5 metres (3 ft 3 in-16 ft 5 in) and the others are of rectangular shape with two upper lobes; some are believed to represent female breasts.

There are no engravings marking the dates of these phallic tomb stones but historians believe it to be of (Turkoman) tribal heritage who speak a dialect of Persian reside in northeast Iran and lead a nomadic life and training horses). They live a mostly nomadic life, making a living from training horses. as recent as the 17th or 18th century. However, the mausoleum or tomb on the Gokjeh Mountain is believed to be that of Khaled Nabi. The cemetery according to legend contains stones of people who were cursed by god for their sins and belonged to people who believed in fetishism centuries ago. The tomb is a religious pilgrimage place where women pray seeking boons for their welfare, by way of tying ribbons in close by trees. The isolated cemetery has become popular tourist attraction in Iran and a source of amusement amongst visitors.

Fairly tales can come true

  William and Kate present baby prince   BBC - July 23, 2013

Tuesday July 23, 2013

I dreamed about again Kate last night, which surprised me. In the dream, she just wanted a little fun before becoming a full time mum, so she met me in NYC and we ran around seeing the sights and feeling free. Then she looked at me, smiled, and said she was going back to her family ... she was ready. Best wishes, Kate. If you love motherhood half as much as I did, life will be awesome. Grid ... disconnect.

So why were Kate and I still connected? I forgot to disconnect after the baby was born, and she was not aware of my link. It is how people stay connected in dream time. Therefore, if you feel someone is following you in your dreams and you can't move past them, visualize a consciousness disconnect along with any emotional attachments. It will work if the emotional connections are gone - like hanging up a phone. It usually one's emotional grids that keep them connected (trapped) and in drama.

Client memos: I've been reading lots of college students, or those who just graduated. Most know what they want to do in life, and have moved forward. Some realize that decision has nothing to do with their college major and will have to return to school, or they hope they get a job through someone they know. Most just want to grow up, support themselves and go on their own.

Many are confused about relationships in that they want one, realize it probably won't last forever, but want one anyway as that is how humans are programmed and how they play out their programming. Ah, the mistakes we make in our 20's. Even Kate and William split up for a while, then found their way back to each other.

Young women still go for the good looking - yet dysfunctional bad boy - as it's all about sex and adventure. Alas, they must accept that at 22 or 23, he will have other lovers, and if mentally ill, will spend his life in casual relationships - yet there is nothing wrong with that. And so the cycles of broken relationships - and finding a partner - as well as one's self - continue with the next generation. Be glad you're older and hopefully content with your life, with or without, the energies of a relationship. It's nice to share your life with someone, but not be controlled, just to have a partner. Lucky are people like Kate and William who have it all - like a fairy tale where they all live happily ever after. If you are young and emotionally stable, and not in love with drama but with romance, you will also connect with the right grid partner when you both find your direction.

Birthing

We left off last night, as I merged with Kate's body. I blogged that I felt pain in my back (mostly lower) and remembered the last time I experienced such dragging pain - when I was in labor. I posted, then went to sleep.

I had two wake-up dreams about the baby. In the first dream, I was watching a group of souls (children) waiting to be born. They were saying good-bye to the baby and singing the closing line from Mickey Mouse Club. Now its time to say goodbye to all our company. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E. See you real soon. Then I saw the Mickey Mouse hats.

In the second dream, I was back in Kate's body and my stomach was flat. The baby was born but I saw a penis, which confused me. A boy?

I woke up around 6:00 and ran to the computer and there was the headline -- Royal baby: Pregnant Kate taken to hospital in labor   BBC - July 22, 2013

The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of Project Apollo and the third human voyage to the Moon. It was also the second all-veteran crew in manned spaceflight history. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. On July 21 (0256 GMT), Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon by the end of the 1960s.

"Better if he had said something natural like, 'Jesus, here we are.'"
Sir Edmund Hillary, Commenting on Neil Armstrong's 1969 message from the moon,
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges.

It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.

I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Sir Richard Owen was an English anatomist and paleontologist who is remembered for his contributions to the study of fossil animals and his strong opposition to the views of Charles Darwin. In 1842 he coined the word Dinosaur meaning "terrible reptile". He gave us many of the terms still used today in anatomy and evolutionary biology, including homology.

Mr. Darwin refers to the multitude of the individual of every species,
which, from one cause or another, perish either before,
or soon after attaining maturity.

Mr. Darwin contributes some striking and ingenious instances of
the way in which the principle partially affects the chain, or rather
network of life, even to the total obliteration of certain meshes.

Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.
