NCIS New York


I just finishing watching the latest addition to the NCIS franchise - NCI New York, starring LL Cool J and Scott Caan both of whom have played badass characters on various TV series from NCIS LA to Hawaii Five-0. If you love the guys and their chemistry together - this is the show to watch.


Many of the scenes were shot in Brooklyn, featuring a waterfront street in Gerritsen Beach where several of my clients live. There were other familiar Brooklyn areas featured that will definitely be bringing me back for future adventures with crossover characters from NCIS series. CBS also presents crossovers with two other favorite shows - FBI and CIA - both filmed in the city with more NYC neighborhoods and energies that are all too familiar. This is my kind of show!




The Flyover


Monday October 5, 2026


Walking along 3rd Avenue around noon today, my attention, as well as that of other people, was riveted by the sound of a thunderous roar overhead headed.


Twenty-five years after witnessing a plane hit the North Tower on 9/11, it makes you pause, wonder, and for a second connecting the dots from that moment to this - to determine if there is a threat. Today, the US has many enemies, both foreign and domestic - exacerbated by the current administration.


We looked up to see unknown jet fighters overhead headed north towards Manhattan. I suggested to a man sitting at an outdoor cafe that it might have something to do with the U.S. military removing bombers from U.K. air base following a security incident on Sunday but he didn't think so.


For another second what came to mind was the international incident last week aboard a FlyDubai flight 1073 bound for Israel, where the co-pilot violently attacked the captain with a cockpit axe in an attempt to crash the aircraft, but was apprehended by several of the passengers


It makes me wonder what my soul is expecting to happen in the near future - processing past, present, and future incidents faster than a jet fighter.


Consciousness lies only partly in physical reality and mostly in the grids that create everything. Hmmm...


When I got home, an Internet search reported this.


The aircraft you saw flying over New York City today were F/A-18 fighter jets, not U.S. bombers. According to alerts from local officials, a pre-scheduled military flight path brought several fighter jets directly over the local waterways. The formation crossed over the Verrazano Bridge and traveled up the Hudson River toward the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The movement was an official, planned flyover coordinated with New York City Emergency Management. P>

World Teachers' Day


October 2026 - French teachers, students, and parents have staged massive nationwide strikes and protests, with more than 250,000 people taking to the streets to demand greater funding and resource investment for the education system. Hundreds Detained in France as Some Student Protests Turn Violent


I have always been a teacher - starting my career at age 20 after finishing my masters degree at NYU. From my very first reading back in June 1990, a fellow Public School teacher named Andrea, a professional psychic - told me that my destiny is, and has always been, to be a teacher.


She also said I would pair that with my degree in Psychology and become a psychic - eventually writing something of great importance that would help millions of people. Andrea was one of many psychics I met along the way - who could see Z near me - all describing him exactly in the same way. But that's a blog for another day.

Today we focus on honoring all the teachers around the world who do their best to inspire, nurture, and empower the minds of tomorrow.


A teacher's life is often not easy having to deal with all of the issues I've blogged about over the years and the challenges met by politics, school systems, funding, parents and more. By the time the end of the school year rolls around most teachers are totally burnt out, especially the way society unfolds today. It is never easy ...


The landscape of education must change with evolving society. For better or worse, everything must keep pace because that is part of the algorithm of the human journey.


The mind is a computer in a manner of speaking and processes as such in code. Unless it is damaged, it will continue to grow and adapt, which takes us to another subject.


Today teachers face a new frontier with Artificial Intelligence both in and out of the classroom as many students are homeschooled. With all that's being said about AI - like it or not - the positive aspects of it in education outweigh the negatives.


Students today are programmed to incorporate AI into their curriculum and lives no matter what their level of education.


We all know that nothing replaces a dedicated teacher and their desire to help students move forward, but as with each generation - dramas arise as teachers try to help their students along the way.


People who recognize - or remember how the simulation ends - sometimes ask me, "Do you think AI is going to be the downfall of humanity?"


To me, it's just another drama. When the simulation closes, everything is gone.


That is your lesson for today ...




Meet My Friend Detective Barry Berger


Over the years, my clients have included many members of law-enforcement in various fields, especially NYPD. Along the way, we solved crimes, did some press, and occasionally developed friendships.


Barry has remained a friend through decades of experiences. He is caring and compassionate, always taking the time to return a phone call or text.


Barry, a former NYPD detective, retired a few years ago, returning for a reading about his future. I told him he was going to move upstate and work in a local school system. That, and many other things I predicted for him, have come to pass over the years.


Barry once watched me morph into my Anunnaki persona - something not easily forgotten.


This morning Barry sent me this pic along with a Facebook article posted September 25, 2026. Congratulations to Barry and his co-workers.


    This week, we celebrated all of our safety officers and school resource officers for their essential role in maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all Crusaders. Their dedication keeps the M-W community safe. Thank you for all you do!


Congratulations Barry you deserve it.




Halloween Fun With AI - October 2026


Ellie setting up a Halloween venue at a Children's Center


I told AI to add a background of what it might look like if I was a magician.


It chose a portal.


In the blink of an eye (of newt) October delivers Halloween - and the ultimate month for horror fans as networks and streaming platforms unleash their best spooky movies, new slasher series, and psychological thrillers. The annual "Spooktober" rollout is officially underway for October 2026, bringing a massive wave of fresh scares and nostalgic marathons. Boo! Not my thing.


If we're talking about spooky in October ... this takes us close to the midterm elections. To be perfectly honest, I haven't followed any of it - even Kathy Hochul running again for governor of New York. I just assume she'll win. The scariest politician of all ... ta da ...You know who I mean! The ultimate Trickster. Boo! Rewrite!
