Dolly Parton was pure light sent from heaven. My mentor is gone. My songwriting teacher and hero of grace and humility. There is a hole in my heart but the joy of just the thought of her smile will continue to fill me with inspiration for as long as I live,
I love Dolly. My heart goes out to her family at this time Dolly has always blended glamour with grounded wisdom, proving you could wear sequins and still have calloused hands from honest work. She showed the world that strength can wear many faces - bold and bright on stage, gentle and resilient behind closed doors.
After losing their first preseason openers, both the New York Jets and New York Giants rallied this weekend to win their second Preseason Games giving fans a genuine sense of optimism that New York football might finally be turning a corner. To cap off the summer, both teams will play against each other for one final preseason game - in the annual Snoopy Bowl or MetLife Bowl - at MetLife Stadium - the stadium they share - Friday, August 28, 2026, at 7:30 PM ET.
Loyal New York NFL fans proudly spoke to the press - before and after each game - with infectious, unyielding enthusiasm and sheer determination that this season - after enduring a grueling gauntlet of disappointments in recent years - both teams will finally rewrite their scripts and restore football glory to the Big Apple.
While we are in the thick of the NFL Preseason games - another massive sporting spectacle is kicking off here in Queens, NY. The 2026 US Open officially begins Sunday, August 30 - September 13, 2026 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which holds the title of the largest tennis-specific stadium in the world. Singles qualifying matches and the newly revamped mixed doubles championship begin today, Monday, August 24, 2026. Lots of familiar faces, and a few new ones are hoping to rise in the ranks.
From legendary veterans chasing final milestones to hungry underdogs fighting through this week's qualifiers, a sheer competitive drive is on display in both sports.
Survivors say Nepal-China flooding hit like a tsunami as rescuers fear fresh deluge
Does the Nepal glacier collapse signal a new climate risk?
Why a newly formed lake is sparking fears of more flooding along the Nepal-China border
Satellite images show bedrock and glacier collapsed on Nepal-China border, then rivers flooded
Nepal's devastating floods reveal the danger of 'cascading hazards' in the Himalayas
The catastrophic glacial collapse in the high peaks of the Himalayas has left a path of profound devastation, serving as a visceral awakening to our planet's shifting reality. High along the rugged border zone connecting Nepal, China, and the autonomous region of Tibet, a colossal shelf of ancient ice and bedrock shattered, sending a terrifying wall of water, mud, and debris roaring through the narrow river canyons below. The immediate aftermath in Nepal is a sobering scene of swallowed villages, shattered infrastructure, and displaced communities grappling with a tragedy that struck with almost no warning.
This catastrophe is a severe manifestation of the irreversible climate change and escalating natural disasters that I post about. It represents a threshold that humanity has come to understand is the destiny of planet Earth - unfolding not in some distant, abstract future, but actively and undeniably today. The mountains, once thought to be eternal, are revealing a profound fragility under the weight of global warming, accelerating risks for millions living downstream.
As I watched events unfold, my mind went to the consciousness grids depicting this event as a marker for End Times. The fracturing of these ancient icy monolithic structures feels deeply symbolic, mirroring a larger breakdown within global systems and collective awareness. Our story is just one of many that began in chaos and is ending much the same way as the spiral of reality reverses on an accelerating daily basis - leaving humanity to contemplate the rapid transformation of reality.
Tibet has always been a deeply spiritual region that serves as a sanctuary for visitors from across the globe. In light of the recent tragedy, I wanted to share an image that was sent to me back in the 1990s. It features an unforgettable photograph of Tibetan Buddhist Monk, Choje Ayang Rinpoche, blessing deer at Nara Park on July 26, 1985.
This week I had my own rainbow experience connected to the passing of Dolly Parton. In the end, everything comes together in a universal matrix of sound, light, and color.
I just realized something ... In Steven Spielberg's 2026 film Disclosure Day - Emily Blunt's character Margaret Fairchild is triggered when a red cardinal comes through her window and lands on the table in front of her. The rainbow in Dolly's blog below caught my attention when a pigeon landed on my railing and telepathically told me to look up at the rainbow. Josh O'Connor's character, Dr. Daniel Kellner, is triggered by a deer staring at him - both as a child, and as an adult. This morning I was drawn to the Tibetan monk picture with the rainbow and the deer. It's all connected.
Dolly Parton - Videos - Filmography -- Discography
If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton, queen of country music and humanitarian hero, dies at 80 following a brief, private battle with cancer.
The world will always remember this music icon, the Queen of country known for her beauty, talent, humor, strong business acumen, classic Southern Appalachian dialect, voluptuous curves (hourglass silhouette), clothing, wigs, philanthropy, graciousness, caring, and so much more.
In the realm of "souls who travel together" - Dolly's beloved husband, Carl Dean, passed away on March 3, 2025, at the age of 82. Dolly never got over his loss.
Monday night, August 24, 2026, Entertainment Tonight did a segment covering Dolly Parton's development of digital avatar performances. The broadcast highlighted how Parton had been in deep, early-stage talks with tech companies to create a virtual hologram concert experience. The decision stems from her ongoing health struggles and the realization that she may no longer be able to handle the physical toll of traditional, long-term touring.
Tuesday 8/25/26 - I captured this image of the sunset bouncing off the Brooklyn arch of the Verrazano Bridge tonight. It reminded me of a soul crossing over to the other side. After I downloaded the pic I noticed something unusual. All of the parked cars do not exist in real time. As I have mentioned in the past - cars and other vehicles - represent the journey of the soul. If one were to look at this as souls that loved Dolly - the cars would go on and on.
I was working at my computer when a pigeon landed on the railing just outside my window. Seemingly unafraid, it looked at me as if to get my attention - and then I saw it - a rainbow and an almost second rainbow arching from the western horizon to the Verrazano Bridge though partially blocked by rain clouds. With raindrops falling on my head I stood on the terrace and took a video and some pics.
With Dolly Parton passing two days ago - I remembered "I Am a Rainbow" a song released on her 2017 children's album "I Believe in You". The track uses colors to teach children about emotions and self-worth. As a Teacher and a Psychic Medium it's easy to decipher the synchronicities presenting themselves to me. In case you are wondering - Dolly and Carl are happily reunited - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bridge". Perhaps the double rainbow represents them.
Year thirty-one of my Crystalinks adventures has taken some interesting turns. What began as a compendium of 56 files has evolved into an ongoing exploration of consciousness, reality, science, technology, extraterrestrial phenomena, and the extraordinary patterns that seem to connect them all. To date Crystalinks has over 10,000 integrated text files.
Simulation theory continues to dominate the conversation, with readers grasping the grand architecture of our existence more clearly than ever before.
As the physical world visibly fractures, people are realizing that true answers cannot be found by diving deeper into the repetitive emotional loops of material life. This often returns them to the very Crystalinks files that once guided them here - now seeing them through a 2026 lens after years of research and life experiences.
Information moves quickly in keeping pace with accelerating reality. Today readers skim news headlines and quickly glance through Crystalinks files to connect with something they're programmed to discover on a given day - making life a fact-finding mission with the final answer coming into focus just ahead.
Many famous people died this year (scroll to the bottom of each month) - including legendary country music icon Dolly Parton following a brief private battle with cancer. Dolly died today on the thirty-first anniversary of Crystalinks - one year after the death of her beloved husband of 58 years, Carl Dean - "Souls who travel together". Also passing today - actor Tim Curry
This year artificial intelligence moved forward in both positive and negative ways in our dualistic society. I use AI to enhance my blogs, research information, and best of all, generate high quality images. These tools are major timesavers, in what is generally a very busy day for me. Along with everyone else, I am learning things I never would've thought to research until AI brought them to my attention.
Highlighting this year's political blogs was the 250 anniversary of the American Experiment in democracy and where the nation stands today with Trump at the helm. With this being a midterm election year, it presents complex challenges that influence outcomes in venues that touch the lives of most Americans and others around the world. Never-ending coverups and conspiracies unfold against a backdrop of events whose script is already in progress.
2026 was the year dissemination of information about UFOs and extraterrestrials came into focus with Trump slowly releasing classified files. Yet, while the answers we seek remain redacted, perhaps we already know what's in them based on personal research and observations.
More and more, I see myself as a teacher, visiting planet Earth to record information in Crystalinks for reasons that have become clearer through the years.
From the time my metaphysical journey officially began in 1983, I've had many readings with psychics and others I met along the way, describing me in ways that initially made no sense, but I have come to understand as my life unfolded.
I have a special destiny. I am connected to extraterrestrials. I was sent to Earth as a teacher and storyteller. I would write something important. Z is the part of me that guides and shares my destiny.
The word "teacher" takes me to the Anunnaki - extraterrestrial teachers - my experience confirmed in a manner of speaking - after capturing this pic of me turning into their likeness while sitting in a restaurant with family celebrating a birthday. Sometimes while teaching a workshop, I change into Anunnaki form for my students. It is generally a workshop where someone will look out of the window and excitedly tell the rest of the class that they have seen a UFO hovering outside.
From personal experiences to groundbreaking historical events - after all these years I still find something new to blog every day as both reality and Crystalinks remain a work in progress.
Thank you for being a vital part of both the junctions (space) and junctures (time) that define Crystalinks' journey on its thirty-first anniversary. We are, and have always been, navigating this cosmic adventure together.
As year 32 begins, we stand on the threshold of something we can all sense is imminent, using whatever tools we have at our disposal to find answers - including Crystalinks.
See ya' around the universe where truth ceases to be complicated and the ultimate answers are ... EZ
On 9/11 and the days that followed - as I reported live - Crystalinks had over two millions readers each day.
September 11, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11. It was a turning point in the simulation - an insert if you will - that not only ushered in a new millennium but shifted humanity onto an accelerated trajectory - acting as a catalyst for a global shift that altered the very grids governing the evolution of consciousness.
I witnessed the second plane hitting the North Tower from my terrace - an event that at the time seemed surreal. I never forgot - the acrid smell of smoke that wafted through the city including my area, the shocked reactions of friends, family, neighbors, and clients who made it through - or had died and came to me in spirit - as they recounted what they witnessed. So many questions - some of which remain unanswered to this day.
My friend and neighbor Joanne Capestro was one of the more famous survivors, who generally tells her story to the news every year. Her story remains one of the most enduring symbols of survival from the North Tower. Her escape from the 87th floor - immortalized in the iconic photograph taken by Phil Penman and symbolized by the black heels she wore that are now preserved in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum - continues to be a core feature of the city's collective memory.
The 25th anniversary continues to bring these deeply personal accounts to the forefront as the city reflects on how that single day reshaped the global landscape. As part of the milestone anniversary coverage, Spectrum News 1 is running a dedicated series titled "25 Years, 25 Stories," highlighting New Yorkers who lived through the day and its aftermath.
Joanne's recent interview above, alongside those of other survivors, first responders, and witnesses, serves as a vital archive of memories etched in time. Watching these broadcasts, I recognize several individuals who originally sought comfort in my home to connect with loved ones lost that day. Remarkably, before their arrival, my apartment would fill with the distinct scent of smoke - a profound phenomenon we came to interpret as a reassuring sign from those who had perished on that momentous day.
So many stories. You can read some of them in my 9/11 archives including Joanne's story.
For those with the ability to "look beyond physical reality" into the consciousness grids where spirits reside - you will notice a visible influx of spirits - from those who perished on 9/11 to others connected to its ongoing legacy who have since passed.
While I have never focused on future US attacks, recent escalations in the Middle East, particularly those involving Iran and its allies, force a deeper reflection. They raise critical questions about the fate of democracy and the destiny of humanity's ancient bloodline which originated in that region and continues to shape ... its final moment.
Full Sturgeon Moon 4° Pisces - Partial Lunar Eclipse
Near-total lunar eclipse is coming up with the Americas in prime position
The August 27-28, 2026, Full Sturgeon Moon features a stunning deep partial lunar eclipse at 4° Pisces, plunging 96.3% of the lunar disk into Earth's dark inner shadow. Because the coverage is so high, this celestial event will essentially behave like a "near total" Blood Moon, turning the moon a striking copper-red or rusty orange color across the night sky.
Astrologically, a lunar eclipse is considered an incredibly potent, emotionally supercharged full moon that serves as a cosmic catalyst. Occurring at 4 Pisces (directly opposite the Sun in Virgo), this lunation marks massive culminations, breakthroughs, or necessary breakdowns. It signals that a specific chapter in your life is closing to make room for something new.
The Pisces-Virgo axis highly influences the balance between our mental/physical health and the practical vs. spiritual worlds. Pisces encourages you to trust your intuition, surrender control, and confront hidden internal fears.
Are you tired of hearing about ways that you should let go of this and that to heal and change your life. Every astrologer, numerologist, medical practitioner, therapist, healer, and psychic will tell you what to do and how to do it, but the bottom line is ... you change, heal, and move on based on your programming as all things align with algorithmic patterns in our simulated reality.
I call one of these patterns "Virgo Transition". Students return to school, people relocate, businesses start, end, or move forward as do relationships, souls crossover in larger numbers, and paradigms permanently shift.
If you are reading this, you already sense a large influx of change that is reshaping everything we think is permanent, real, or absolute. The grid is fluctuating, and the code is updating right before our eyes.
Virgo Transition isn't just a change in the seasons - it is a systemic reset of the matrix we inhabit. As the old programming dissolves, your only job is to observe the shift, understand your trajectory, and prepare for the next phase of the simulation because it's all going somewhere.
