Crystalinks Celebrates Its 14th Anniversary!
I had dinner with my friend Pat tonight and we toasted the 14th anniversary of Crystalinks, I will never forget the day Crystalinks went online. A techie named Steve, from a NYC internet based company called Interport, took my original 50 files, uploaded them ... and I was thrilled beyond words. A journey had begun and more surprisingly, 250 people found me that first day. The home page was called http://www.crystalinks.interport.net/index.html. In 1997 I would chose a domain name ... www.crystalinks.com ... after considering ... www.elliecrystal.com.
Everything on Crystalinks has changed evolved through the years. I have never lost my passion for Crystalinks as most people and bloggers did with their websites. I watched them go down, year after year, as Crystalinks remained a portal for people to visit and find answers moving consciousness through time. Now science has come to understand that reality could perhaps be a hologram, as my theories are coming into light and consciousness.
I have reported many things first hand from here - from the events of 9/11 when I watched the planes hit the twin towers to the Maiden Voyage of the Queen Mary II. I expect something else to surface in the next few years. I can feel it coming. I hope to continue on ... until the end ...
Today, a book proposal arrived at the office of Reid Tracy, the head of Hay House publishing, as per his request. Will Ellie become the next Sylvia Browne ... who has just retired? No thank you! Let's see how the proposal goes. This was not my idea so I'm open for whatever happens.
Would I do Crystalinks again? Of course I would. Actually, we are repeating a time loop, so I remember having done this before. I just want to break the loop this cycle around and I know we will. It's one of the reasons I am here. Someone has to teach the truth behind the illusion. I have no interest in recognition and fame. Just here playing ... and waiting....
I have met so many amazing people from all walks of life through Crystalinks ... the list goes on and on ... and has made the time here well spent.
All I know is that I'm leaving soon - I'm not sick or anything that melodramatic ... just time to move on. 2012? Another wake-up metaphor.
Crystalinks has come a long way since 1995 in terms of quality, content and readership, generally averaging over one million visitors each day. Crystalinks has developed into a compendium of over 10,000 files and growing, that integrate science and meta-science, physics and metaphysics, merging everything for greater understanding. Through the years Crystalinks has become a place readers can return to find answers within the parameters of evolving consciousness. As a healing tool, it has helped millions of readers evolve into greater awareness as the human experiment, through which we virtually experience, returns to higher consciousness.
The overall theme of Crystalinks is simply and has never wavered -- Reality is a consciousness hologram through which souls virtually experience to learn and record their experiences. It is a biogenetic experiment in linear time (physical reality) to experience emotions. Reality has a beginning and an end - the evolution of consciousness in the alchemy of time. A transformation is occurring on all levels, coinciding with the Age of Science and Technology which guides us along the way. Crystalinks remains a Work in Progress as does your journey here.
I want to thank all of the Crystalinks' readers and those who posted comments on my wall in Facebook, for their very thoughtful e-cards and messages on this anniversary. Here are a few emails...
From my friend Rick in Texas
From Ellie in Nashville
What else can I say that hasn't already been said but a resounding, hearty and very heart-felt THANK YOU for all you're doing and have done. Your approach is unique as you don't believe in 'sugar-coating' the truth (and thank God for that!) and in true 'Noo Yawk' fashion, you "Tell it like it is!!!" Like everyone else who's been guided to find your site, I've learned so much from you. I felt like I already KNEW it all, but being the noble teacher you are, you hammered the metaphysical points home in a fantastic way that makes perfect sense and helped us all grow. Food for thought, indeed.
... As I sing "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a DREAM!" I raise a toast (ok, so it's coffee, not wine) to YOU and to life and (en)light(enment)!
Best wishes and love,
Ellie G.

Crystalinks has become a part of my daily reading and I have received much enlightenment and pleasure from its perusal. Although I have not experienced a reading from you yet-- as if you had time!, just reading the insights on your blog have in effect been the source of introspection that I would call therapeutic. And you have such a wonderful wicked sense of humor. May the Gods Bless you Ellie.
One of my great attractions to Crystalinks, which will be no surprise to you, is I feel the synchronicity that much is to be revealed shortly -- our origins on this earth, and the denouement of the program. I CAN put this into words, as Crystalinks has provided much source material for my own writing, but I will save that for the opportunity when I can get a reading scheduled. YOU have been the catalyst for deeper insight and empathy to thousands, millions even, not "nuts," or the crazy hippie type, but intelligent people searching for deeper import of the ineffable mysteries of our existence. The only goal of any artist is to provide HOPE -- you have done that through Crystalinks. The HOPE is that we will all go home soon, and until then, humor, and courage, which go hand-in-hand, are the answer to the "Dark Side of the Force."
Rock on. All the best.

Just wanted to say Congratulations on 14 wonderful years of blogging and how much it has meant to me since I started to follow you. Remember that very first email I sent you about your Ozzy happenings during the "Lost Book of Nostradamus" tapings? What a wonderful synchronistic stumbling that was on the world wide web! And my, how you've helped me grow since then!
Well, wouldn't you know it, but August 25, 1939 is when "The Wizard of Oz," hit theaters Nation Wide. The 15th, it premiered at Graumman's in Hollywood and the 17th, it premiered in NYC (my favorite stomping ground). It wasn't a huge hit at first, but as everyone knows, it soon grew and continues to be one of the most beloved films of all time; just as Crystalinks seems to be growing as well, and is fastly becoming and integral part of many peoples every day lives.
Thank you so much Ellie, for all that you do. I couldn't begin to tell you all of the little synchronicities of your blog that have affected my every-day life. My father's death would have to be the largest; the day he died I was "lead" to a part of your blog about your friend JoAnne, I believe, who had a family member die of a heart attack. Hours after I read that entry, my father had passed away of a heart attack.
A year to the day after his passing you had written about how three small roses appeared in your living room. My Grandmother's maiden name was Rose, and to me, the three flowers signified my Father, his Sister who had passed at a young age, and my Grandmother. So, Thank you, Ellie. Your messages mean so much to your readers. I look forward to many more years of reading.
Much Love,
Sara
