Life is about finding out why you are here.
Gloria Steinem, Personification of the Women's Movement, Dies at 92
Gloria Steinem - (March 25, 1934 - September 2, 2026)
Quotes: The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.
Gloria Steinem was an American journalist and social movement leader who emerged as a nationally recognized face of second-wave feminism in the late 1960s and early 1970s, moving firmly into the global spotlight through the 1980s and 1990s. She co-founded Ms. Magazine and helped establish numerous advocacy groups like the National Women's Political Caucus.
There is nothing I like better than a New York City story about one of its iconic trailblazers - someone who made a monumental difference in a rapidly transforming society by playing a major role in an age of shifting ideologies. Gloria Steinem embodied the very definition of passion and determination, carrying a quiet strength that mirrored the spirit of the extraordinary women of my generation.
Her passing reminds me of growing up in a city that never sleeps, a place where history happens every day. I could never imagine living anywhere else - other than alongside its energies that parallel my own.
While everything in our physical reality carries both positives and negatives, there are rare individuals who are programmed to make a difference even in the face of diversity. Gloria Steinem was a soul fueled by passion and hard work - creating tectonic shifts in the awakening of the feminine archetype - in metaphysics referred to as the "sacred feminine".
Activism and protests manifest in different ways - sometimes physically in the streets and other times through the profound power of the written word. Such was the life of Gloria Steinem. In my own way, I am hoping to be part of that legacy of women who are here to awaken the sleeping consciousness of humanity.
This morning, after creating the article about the passing of Gloria Steinem, I decided to review Crystalinks files about Women. It took all day and was quite the adventure. From ancient times to modern day ... it's been always about freedom and having a voice to get you there.
September 1, 1991 - I Am Home
Thirty-five years ago today on 9/1/91 - I sold my house and moved from Manhattan Beach to Bay Ridge Brooklyn on the water at the foot of the Verrazano Bridge. Destiny had brought me home.
Over the past 35, years many people have suggested I write about my endless adventures with Z before and after coming to planet Earth to partake in the Human Experiment.
It would take a library to record all of those narratives - although they are already written in the consciousness grids as endless energies of light whose matrix creates the illusion we experience as reality.
In the first picture above, I had just moved into my apartment and was relaxing. What looks like an ethereal presence next to me has been described as Z welcoming me home.
In the second pic, I am standing outside my apartment building in 2024, taking a picture of a contrail arching over my building with the sun creating an interesting special effect in the moment. The small blue disc-shaped light with the white dot is just outside my bedroom. Moving to the corner of my building is the rest of my apartment.

While archiving the news about flooding in the Grand Canyon - I realized the file needed a complete overhaul - which generally takes hours and sometimes days. So I began early and just finished - adding an index, personal experiences, clarifying the Kincaid hoax, new pics, videos, and texts.
In the past week - two of Earth's most awe-inspiring landscapes - the Himalayas and Grand Canyon - made headlines for the same volatile reason - devastating flash floods. Halfway across the world from each other - both Nepal nestled beneath the towering peaks of the Himalayas - and the Grand Canyon saw torrents of water tear through their ancient terrain.
It makes you wonder what other sacred sites around the world are going to be devastated in the near future. Local flooding in civilian areas teach lessons in letting go if only to discover what is truly important in your life.
If you still don't understand that planet Earth will not be sustainable much longer then keep paying attention as closure accelerates.
Beyond the immediate geological impact, the Himalayas and the Grand Canyon share a deep, historical connection to the spiritual and the mythic. When the waters rise in places of such immense natural power, they bridge the physical world with ancient lore.
The torrential rains and glacial floods in Nepal and along the Tibetan border carve through lands considered holy by billions. The region surrounds peaks like Mount Kailash, an axis mundi or spiritual center in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Here, water is both a divine blessing and a fierce force of nature.
Across the Himalayas, mythic deluges represent cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth. Rivers like the Ganges and Indus are personified as deities, and sudden, violent floods are traditionally viewed as manifestations of Shiva's raw power, washing away the old to make way for the new.
The Desert Cathedral - In the American Southwest, monsoon deluges transformed the arid Grand Canyon into a network of raging rivers. For the Indigenous peoples who have lived there for millennia, the canyon is not a tourist destination, but a living spiritual entity whose waters carry deep cultural significance.
The Grand Canyon is central to Native American creation stories. In Havasupai lore, a great primordial flood once covered the earth, shaping the canyon walls. For the Hopi, the canyon holds Sipapuni, the sacred place where humanity emerged from a previous world after a great purging of the earth.
It's all connected...
Walk through the Grand Canyon today and you will see names like Vishnu Temple, Shiva Temple, and Buddha Temple printed on the maps. In the late 1800s, geologists overwhelmed by the canyon's majestic architecture named these massive rock formations after Eastern deities, permanently linking the two landscapes.
This conceptual blending even fueled early 20th-century legends and sensational hoaxes claiming that secret caves in the Grand Canyon hid ancient Egyptian and Tibetan artifacts. While historically false, it proves how naturally the human mind connects these two profoundly spiritual landscapes.
