Carla Gugino - August 29, 1971 - Videos - Filmography


Quotes: We are all on this planet together, so let's try and make it good for everybody. When your time is up, there's not much you can do. But that doesn't stop me from living life to the fullest. What's so exciting to me about the film San Andreas is that it keeps coming back to being grounded in the emotion of it, and yet I get to do all this kick-ass action stuff.


San Andreas visually details the concept of a worst-case seismic scenario along the real-world San Andreas Fault.


Watch Carla and Dwayne Johnson on YouTube in San Andreas - and what major natural disasters - earthquakes and tsunamis - could look like.

The Rapidly Changing Landscapes of Closure


2026 Nepal Floods



Survivors say Nepal-China flooding hit like a tsunami as rescuers fear fresh deluge

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 harmonic frequency of sound, light, and color.


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. Closure Day and Disclosure Day - it's all connected.




Good-bye Dolly - Remembering Dolly Parton


January 19, 1946 - August 25, 2026


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.






Sunsets and Surrealism


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.


8/27/26 - Ellie, Dolly, and the Rainbow Bridge



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.





August 25, 1995 - August 25, 2026



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





Remember 9/11 Twenty-Five Years Later



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.
