50 Years Ago
the Verrazano Bridge Opened

On November 21, 1964 the Verrazano Bridge opened to much hoopla in Brooklyn and Staten Island. I was 21 years old and have never forgotten the thrill of crossing over the bridge for the first time with my husband Ralph, in our shiny new convertible.

In the decades that followed, what was farm country became suburbia to families who migrated over the bridge from Brooklyn, to raise their families. From Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge to Staten Island then later to New Jersey - that remains the pattern.

Living on or near water is part of our physical experience here. I have never lived more that 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. 26 years ago ... moving to an apartment facing the bridge never crossed my mind ... and yet something about the bridge stirred my soul.

On June 10, 2009 at 8:00 AM - when everything outside physically Faded to Black for 5 minutes - intuitively I ran to the window facing the bridge as if I knew that is where I will be facing when the hologram ends.

Many people have reported seeing UFOs over the bridge, including my students while meditating here, though I have never seen a ship pass over. It's the ships that pass under that always attract my attention ... as they enter NY harbor. I've watched ocean liners embrace the sea on their maiden voyage. It's all very inspiring when I sit here writing every day.

The bridge is like a giant megalithic structure. It's arches have been called tuning forks and antennae ... the cables resonating harmonics into the grids. It is often referred to as a gateway between realities.

I have written many blogs incorporating the Verrazano Bridge into my story lines. The bridge been used as the backdrop for many famous movies including "Saturday Night Fever".

I never go to bed without looking out over the bridge perhaps to watch a majestic sunset or just to experience the energies. I know it's part of the reason I am here.

It was a haven for roaming farm animals, known for its wide open spaces and the comforting scent of the ocean. Yes, Staten Island was a different place in the years before the Verrazano-Narrow Bridge collected its first 50-cent toll. That day - November 21, 1964 - would change the Island forever.

Cracking Plates and
Flying Saucers

Saturday November 15, 2014

This morning a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia. It had a depth of 47 kilometers (29.2 miles), according to the USGS. Remember when a 7.3 was considered a powerful earthquake? Not anymore. The North American plates has had swarms of Earthquakes in Nevada over the past few days. Saturday there was a 4.8 in Montana. Today we look to the 8's and above to catch our attention. Most people anticipate something they call "The Big One". You don't have to be psychic to know that day is not far away.

Giorgio A. Tsoukalos

Speaking of flying saucers ... the latest episode of Ancient Aliens was called Aliens Among Us - all about The Watchers. The episode began with government surveillance of everything humans say and do - the cloud. They question, "Could this be by design - ancient aliens monitoring the human experiment?" Various descriptions of physical entities was offered as Alien Watchers. I didn't agree with their alien representations both positive and negative in the duality of our reality. What I did connect with was this question, "Who's watching the watchers?" That is my connection to all of this - the Watchers outside the hologram. In our own way, we are all Watchers just as we are all aliens.

Paper Bag Speed Dating

London

As everything in our reality is accelerating and becoming more and more ridiculous ... have you ever tried speed dating ... with a paper bag on your head? Looks like a fun way to sell something about yourself that you want to attract in a partner. What would your paper bag look like? What would it say? It could teach you something about how you think the world views you.

Paper Bag Speed Dating is the brainchild of the people behind a new London-based dating app called LoveFlutter. They organized the event as a part of their #SayNoToShallow campaign. "Could you get a date using just your personality?" they asked, challenging people to attend their paper bag dating event. 30 women and 30 men signed up. They were given a paper bag each and were asked to personalize them using various designs - they could add quirky personal messages to serve as conversation starters. Later, they had to wear the bags on their heads. Some people did beautiful drawings, while others wrote stuff like "I used to be a spy," or "Does my head look big in this?"

While most people rely heavily on looks while speed dating, this new trend in London is forcing people to do the exact opposite - choose by personality. Paper Bag Speed Dating doesn't allow you to see the face of the person you're talking with. It's basically a looks-free hookup party, where participants place a paper bag over their head. You still get to make quick decisions just like with regular speed dating, but the deciding factor is personality, not physical appearance.

Sitting with a bag over your head in NYC would probably not seem strange.
Many would think it was part of a broadcast or something promotional.

Stories about Women

Friday, I had lunch with my friend Lorraine who sells make-up, etc. in Walgreens. As blizzards and freezing weather race across the country, it was sunny and a great day to get out. Saturday morning, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia. It had a depth of 47 kilometers (29.2 miles), according to the USGS. Remember when a 7.3 was considered a powerful earthquake? Today, we look to the 8's and above to catch our attention, sensing Mother Earth about to wind up this hologram.

After I left Lorraine, I walked across 86th Street from 4th to 5th Avenues, a main shopping area. Much to my surprise, a woman in her 30s came up to me and others on the busy street showing us a piece of paper written in crayon, requesting for money for herself and her three children. What made this more out of place, she was Middle Eastern wearing the attire of her culture. It was almost like a scene out of the news from countries in the Middle East.

A female client, Christina, later told me that she employs a Middle Eastern woman to clean her house. That woman is married and has two sons all of whom sleep on the floor while her husband sleeps in a bed. They are among the many illegal immigrants from around the world who believe they can create a better future here. Maybe the next generation ... but we won't be here that long.

My first client today is the daughter-in-law of a woman who went by the name Princess Dena, due to her Native American ancestry. She came here as both a client and student sharing many colorful stories about the old days in Hollywood where she worked as an actress with Elvis among others. January 2006, while walking home from work, Dena passed Dunkin Donuts parking lot which runs between 4th and 5th Avenues. It was dark, though not that late. Sadly, Princess Dena was killed by a hit and run driver. My blog about Princess Dena's death and experiences afterwards

MS Quantum of the Seas

Jack, my friend and neighbor, loves to sail the seas on luxury cruise lines. In recent years he has taken 5 cruises in as many years. Most of us know cruise ships have not had a good reputation as of late due to health and sanitary issues. But alas Jack is preparing to set sail November 18th on an amazing new ship the MS Quantum of the Seas. He emailed that there are so many great new features he didn't know where to start. Best of all was the Wifi which means a lot in today's world, especially for Jack as he is a businessman. Bon voyage!

With 16 public decks and room for nearly 5,000 passengers, Royal Caribbean's new Quantum of the Seas is the third largest cruise ship ever built and boasts such groundbreaking features as a deck-top ride into the sky and a bar with robot bartenders.

The only kind of ship I would fantasize about today is a spaceship - and I don't mean the limited ones we send into space - but more of the sci-fi kind.

Humans have always sailed the seas from the time the first floating vessels ignited wanderlust in ancient seafarers. Maritime history

Magical Artifacts and Parallel Worlds

Magical Artifacts
&
Parallel Worlds

Monday night's episode on Castle was called "The Time of Our Lives" and featured an Incan artifact that has time travel properties. The series has already aired an episode "Time Will Tell" about a time traveler who returned to our timeline to prevent a disaster - but this was different. I love it when the show goes to these topics as there is little left on sci-fi to watch these days.

In "The Time of Our Lives" the circular artifact pictured below hurls Castle into a parallel reality - the same characters but different relationships and events. Castle charms his way into a similar police investigation to earn the chance to return to his own universe by finding the artifact and solving the crime along the way.

This wasn't exactly a Fringe-esque or the Stargate SG1 time traveling episode Moebius 2 - but it was fun non-the-less and a lesson in emotions and priorities. The episode ends with Castle and Beckett finally tying the knot, but the reality in which that happens isn't quite clear. There may be clues that something is off in the video, but I don't have time to "watch" it again. In Stargate SG1, the fish in O'Neill's pond was the clue that something was not as the main characters believed it to be.

The question always remains when one enters an alternate reality - though they think they may have returned to the original one - have they? This also takes us to the new science fiction adventure film Interstellar about a team of space travelers who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet.

It's always about physics and algorithms which make us real. You are consciousness and code having an experience in space-time for the emotional thrill of it all.

Questions: Do you physically wake up in the same reality every day? Does one really need an artifact to travel between parallel realities or is it all about the consciousness grids?

I took this photo of Castle holding the artifact from my TV using my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Photo 2 - Interesting that the story of "Sarah and Alexander" is in the photo as I didn't set it up that way.

The Dark Net

Years ago I became aware of the Dark Net while watching "NCIS LA" and "Person of Interest" which returns tonight. In an electromagnetic (physical) reality there is always duality. With the Internet created for knowledge and more there would eventually be a dark side.

What Exactly Is the Dark Net and What the Hell Is Going On With It? NY Magazine - November 7, 2014
Yesterday, the most stereotypical San Francisco techie in the history of San Francisco techies was arrested for allegedly running Silk Road 2.0, a reincarnation of Silk Road, the drug marketplace hidden beneath layers of encryption on a portion of the internet called the Deep Web that was shuttered by the FBI in 2013. If that sentence made zero sense to you, welcome! Pop on a fedora, switch on your e-cig, press pause on that libertarian podcast, and let us venture into the mysterious world of the Deep Web.

A dark Internet, dark address or lost net refers to any or all network hosts on the Internet that no-one can reach. It is also called dark address space, greynet or sparse darknets.

The closure of 400 sites believed to be selling drugs and weapons online is a "significant blow" to dark-net operators, according to the head of Europol's cybercrime unit.

In retrospect ... think back to 7/4/12. What happened? [Hint: Higgs Boson]

In retrospect ... think back to 11/11/12. What were you anticipated? What were your emotions at the time? Did you see 2013 coming into play?

Now ... look back at the 12/21/12 timeline as it moved into 2013. What do you see?

11/11/14 is Veteran's Day in the Et-ernal battle for freedom and "How humans always get it wrong".

Issues and Truth

This week, I watched actresses Jennifer Lopez and Anne Hathaway talk about low self esteem issues, which is hard to believe given their beauty, talent, and personalities. Though strong women, they are sensitive about criticism and certainly cyber-bullying - something that can give anyone low self-esteem.

We all want to be loved, respected, and recognized for our accomplishments. Past experiences, as well as media influences, can take that all away in a moment. Many people feel the need to remove themselves from social media after a bad experience or something in their lives that they need to process personally.

Jennifer made another interesting point - she's just finding out who she is and in order to do that, one needs time alone. Finding oneself, as we go from decade to decade in our lives, is about discovering and reinventing ourselves. When you understand that ... you understand why relationships fail and many people spend a lifetime healing their issues.

One thing social media has taught us is that in the end, if we lie about anything in our lives, the truth will eventually come out, so tell it like it is from the beginning - which always brings to mind the storyline of Angelina Jolie and her journey here. Most wounded souls learn from the tragedies of others. It's one of many patterns in our reality.

Personally, when I started Crystalinks almost 20 years ago, I considered whether or not to tell my back story about my "alien encounter" and my personal life, deciding I was just going to say it like it is and so I have. It's why I'm here and my life has unfolded as it has. Luckily - or should I say luck had nothing to do a with it as I am programmed this way - I had a really "clean" past with no drugs, no drinking, no mental illness, no abuse, just a straight-laced educated lady with the special agenda and Z to guide and protect.

Friday on Entertainment Tonight, Patty Duke, 69, spoke about a lifetime of dealing with bipolar disorder. She took the words out of my blogs ... "There's no cure. We're born this way. It's a chemical imbalance of our brains. You can lead a balanced life with the right medications. Walk a minute in the shoes of someone who is mentally ill and you will understand. They need care, and love and understanding."

I also want to add that new methods of shock treatment often help but medication is needed. It's no different than having a medical problem in the physical body that requires monitoring and medication. Holistic medicines can help as well. Step 1 is accepting that you have mental illnesses and the genetics that created it. It's all in one's genes.

Too many mentally ill people are self medicating with drugs and alcohol as per their programming. It's as if the pain and suffering in our hologram has become more than the average person can bare.

Let's get away from the metaphysical excuse that the craziness is about the increase in frequency. It's just the way people in this timeline are programmed for experience. It's not complicated. Its influences may show up in astrology or numerology, but when you peel away the layers all that's left is DNA programming and code.

Entertainment Tonight followed that story with the results of Robin William autopsy. Aside from suffering from depression, anxiety, and Parkinsons Disease, Williams suffered from a type of dementia that indicates early onset Alzheimers.

If you can wrap your mind around the concept that the brain is a biochemical machine that works by binary code and is programmed for everything that happens in your life, you can better understand the world around you and that we live in an electromagnetic bipolar reality that is unstable and will soon terminate based on its algorithm for shut down. It's all an illusion of consciousness set in time for experience, but I've blogged that before.

Saturn in Astrology

Saturn in Sagittarius

Saturn's Transit of Scorpio: October 5, 2012 to December 23, 2014 - then June 14, 2015 to September 17, 2015.

Saturn's Transit of Sagittarius: December 23, 2014 - December 19, 2017

I've never read anyone with Saturn in their sign who wasn't going through a major transition. Often these changes seemed forced on you, no matter how you plan. Finances are challenged. A partner leaves. Health issues arise. Scorpio is a fixed sign so it would also influence the 3 other fixed signs - Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius. Sagittarius is a mutable sign along with Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces.

Saturn Return - Age 29 give or take ...

This is another aspect that transforms people's lives and is not exact as to the age it hits each person. At 29 one looks at their lives and wants to move forward. If single they want to meet the partner who will be part of the journey known as marriage and family. If married it moves to the next level of owning a home and starting the family. If married, or living with someone and unhappy, it goes to divorce. Many people make hasty relationship decisions in Saturn Return and as they hit 30 realize what a mistake it was. If not happy with career, it is a return to school or job change. The bottom line is there is something in our codes that shifts in this age group and again in our 50's.

In astrology, especially horoscopic astrology, a Saturn return is an astrological transit when a transiting Saturn planet returns to the same point in the sky that it occupied at the moment of a person's birth (natal chart). Read more ...

Saturn Opposition - Age 44 give or take ...

However you look at it, your life changes in, at, or just after age 44. Some call it mid-life crisis. In astrology it's called Saturn Opposition - once again meaning a strong desire for change and find a new direction. This is often accompanied by a change in relationship and lifestyle.

CMAs - Country Music Awards

Tweets from the CMAs

Tuesday night may have been about election coverage, but Wednesday evening captured some great performances, humor, and celebrity at the CMAs. I loved it all including the clothes (red carpet) and hair (that's men and women). For those of us who grew up on country and western music - and still listen - there were performers from the past as well as many new faces.

Kacey Musgraves, 26, and Loretta Lynn, 82.

This week I took out the western boots I bought February 2013 in Nashville, where I celebrated my 70th birthday. They may not be stylish in the city, but I plan to wear them anyway.

Speaking of country (Nashville) and city (New York) - you probably know Taylor Swift moved here recently. Her new album is called 1989. That was the year of the big MUFON conference in Los Vegas where many people came out - in the ET sense - and life would never be the same (new insert). It is also the year Sarah (Sarah and Alexander) planted the blue-white seed (microchip) for the next creation of reality that bloomed on July 4 2012 - the day the God particle was discovered by CERN. Sarah planted the seed in update New York at her family estate "Twin Crossings".

This video doesn't come close to showing the beauty and culture of New York City. I don't see Taylor living here for a long time.

Feel fee to join in!

You can't shake this off Obama ... Taylor will have to write (right) a new song about defeat.

Midterm elections are over and were a major win for the Republican party as the country seeks unity and change. You didn't have to be a psychic to have known Republicans would make historic gains and control the Congress. Did you listen to Obama's press conference on Wednesday? Known for his eloquent speeches, it was easy to read his energies as he rambled on making excuses for failure. At one point I thought he was going to resign ... or cry. It was all very sad - but we move forward quickly. There is no way Obama, Hillary, or anyone can solve the problems, but people like to feel they have free will to try.

Taylor Swift registered to vote on her 18th birthday. During the 2008 presidential campaign, she supported the Every Woman Counts campaign, aimed at engaging women in the political process, and was one of many country stars to record a public service announcement for the Vote (For Your) Country campaign. Following President Obama's inauguration, she told Rolling Stone that she supported the president. In 2010, former U.S. President George H. W. Bush attended the taping of a Swift television special in Kennebunkport, Maine, and later described Swift as "unspoiled" and "very nice."

In 2012, Swift was presented with a Kids' Choice Award in recognition of her charitable work by Michelle Obama, who praised her as someone who "has rocketed to the top of the music industry but still keeps her feet on the ground, someone who has shattered every expectation of what a 22-year old can accomplish." Swift later described the First Lady as "a role model." In a 2012 interview, Swift remarked that, although she tries to keep herself "as educated and informed as possible," she doesn't "talk about politics because it might influence other people." She has spoken of her interest in American history and has read books about Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, the Founding Fathers and Ellis Island. Swift has spent time with the Kennedy family and has spoken of her admiration for Ethel Kennedy. In 2012 she dated Conor Kennedy - four years her junior.

Speaking of breaking up ....

If relationships still baffle you - here's the scoop for November - a little Scorpio - a little Sting. Someone in the relationship is suddenly triggered to tell their partner it's over. Of course we know this means their programming has ended for this relationship and underneath it all they been thinking about leaving for a while perhaps keeping it under wraps. Just as you're paying attention to the changes in weather and other things in your life ... so too should you take a few minutes to focus on your relationship. Most relationship that try and try again fail. Move on.

US mid-terms: Republicans win control of the Senate BBC - November 5, 2014

Though expected, this is a statement about how Americans feel about the failure of Congress in recent years and Barak Obama's Democratic party. Some people voted for their favorite candidate while others voted simple to make a statement about needed change. As always after an election night there will be cheers and tears today.

I was out most of yesterday enjoying the beautiful weather. Along the way I met my neighbor Bob who asked if I voted. He is my age and always opinionated. I quickly told him I no longer vote, that reality has an agenda, and I blogged that no one should be coerced (bullied) by the opinions of others. I understand that the US is supposed to be a democracy, but nothing is as it seems which we are learning as time and technology reveal the truth. I walked away before he could give me his 3D opinion. Does Bob understand we live in a hologram? He's not programmed to.

I spent the past week watching seasons 1 and 2 of the TV series The Newsroom before it airs its final 6 episodes beginning Sunday. Season 2 ended with the 2012 presidential election and the issues surrounding the Democrats and Obama. Jeff Daniels is brilliant as news anchor Will McAvoy, a Republican, whose views on ... everything make total sense perhaps allowing him to know that people are not Democrats nor Republicans, but we all want the same thing - freedom. The party system seems antiquated after 200+ years. It will be interesting to see if the show addresses ebola and other current issues as The Newsroom rolls into its final season and 2014 its final weeks. It's all about The Program.

And now people will turn their attention to the presidential race of 2016 highlighted by the Clintons ... Aargh!

United States Midterm Elections

Midterm elections in the United States refer to general elections held two years after the BORING quadrennial (four-year) elections for the President of the United States (i.e. near the midpoint of the four-year presidential term). Federal offices that are up for election during the midterms are members of the United States Congress, including all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, and the full terms for 33 or 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate.

In addition, 34 of the 50 U.S. states elect their governors to four-year terms during midterm elections, while Vermont and New Hampshire elect governors to two-year terms in both midterm and presidential elections. Thus, 36 governors are elected during midterm elections.

The current governor of New York State, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, is running for reelection. Do I remember anything he did during his current term in office? No. Do I have an interest in politics? No. Further I equate campaigning with reality shows - which I never watch. They're all about dramas. I never have, nor will I ever, do dramas. There are many political TV series some of which make a good point and others which make a farce out of the whole system. Off the top of my head I can think of "Scandal" "The Good Wife", and "Madame Secretary" and I'm sure there's others.

Not a day goes by that politicians across the world don't make the front page in their country ... and citizens talk ... or gossip ... or dream about better times and more equality. It's hope and the belief in free will that perpetuates the games. The way I see it - political games have always been the same - today with more advanced technologies to make things more interesting and drama-filled. Conspiracies rule ... always have.

You just have to figure out the holograms's patterns at this level of experience - call it sacred geometry, the masonic programs of reality, or something else. People are putting the pieces of the puzzle together and figuring things out. Why? Because they are programmed to in the 21st century. The answers can always be found in numeric codes if one is programmed to decipher them.

Many people - during the course of their lives - are programmed to get involved in politics. Some run for office because they feel they can make a difference - others to feel important or say they know somebody famous - the list of reasons endless.

Most people are programmed to explore politics at some point then move on. Do you still vote? Do you think your vote makes a difference in the long run if everything is programmed?

If you were writing a 140-character or less Tweet today with your opinion about politics - what would you say? Ellie's Tweet: "I used to follow political issues - then I learned the truth - not about the illusion of reality - but about the illusion of politics."

Go out and vote tomorrow if you feel guided ... but in case you don't that's okay too.
