Happy Halloween. Don't forget to move your clocks back one hour.
NYC's 53rd Village Halloween Parade is the world's largest Halloween parade and a legendary New York City tradition. Happening tonight, Saturday, October 31, 2026, this massive public celebration brings over 50,000 costumed participants and 2 million spectators to the streets of Greenwich Village for a night of wild creativity, radical self-expression, and spooky fun. Watch Friday afternoon at the final rehearsal featuring Mr. and Mrs. Mets.
Harry Houdini - born Erik Weisz - was a Jewish Hungarian-American escape artist, magic man, and stunt performer who died on Halloween. His pseudonym is a reference to his spiritual master, French magician Robert-Houdin (1805-1871).
Reality is Magic and Illusion. It's all a staged trick.
My brain is the key that sets my mind free.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the New York City Marathon. Over the past five decades, it has grown from a local road race held entirely in Central Park to the world's largest marathon. The race always takes place on the Sunday we return to Standard Time here in the city and other parts of the world.
Return to Standard Time
I've always preferred standard time as do millions of other people around the world forced to make this cyclic adjustment twice a year.
There's something natural about standard time - the way sunrise and sunset align more closely with the rhythm of the day. My sleep cycle seems to align and adjust days before we move the clocks back.
When we return to standard time, mornings feel brighter, more grounded in the flow of nature.
Daylight Saving Time, with its artificial shift, always feels a bit like we're forcing time to bend to our will.
Standard time restores balance - a reminder that we move best when we follow the natural order rather than trying to control it.
As the clocks fall back and the days grow shorter, there's comfort in slowing down and in recognizing that light and darkness each have their season and their purpose.
The time-change system remains in place for now - 'falling back' each November and 'springing forward' each March.
If a move to permanent standard time is ever to happen, it will take legislation and the will to overcome political and geographic divides.
Everything tends to be politically driven - apparently even 'time' itself and the 'space' we move through - woven within the illusion of reality accelerating so quickly we hardly have a chance to question or understand the forces shaping our perception.
Like a magician's trick - this rapid pace keeps us distracted, making it easy to accept constructed narratives without realizing how deeply our experience of existence is influenced by unseen forces in the illusion of time.

Today I walked along Shore Road Promenade near my home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Last week I found a feather in Manhattan Beach by the shore. Today I found another as the Atlantic flowed past me again. With respect to the elements and thanks to a student I met along the way named David who took the video and pic.
With love from above and below

Crystalinks origin story began 31+ years ago with two Australian men who did not know each other. Marc helped me type the original 56 files, and John who showed me how to upload pics. Both men told me about Uluru and though I've never physically been there - I can remote view - awesome energies even after human tampering. I love when the mountain turns purple.

On this date in history - Orson Wells broadcasted H. G. Welles' novel War of the Worlds. Radio listeners around the world were mesmerized - stirring their belief of entities or gods beyond the sky and how they may have had a hand in creating humanity.
As always, the unknown, and loss of control, stirs fear in humans as a built-in survival mechanism. A Martian invasion certainly would create that frequency harmonic for humans in any timeline.
The imagined connection between humans and Martians became more than fiction - it became a mystery that continues to this day as we search for truth among the stars that beckon us home.
Adding to the enigma, during the 1930s and 1940s mysterious glowing orbs - later called Foo Fighters - alien drones - were reported over Europe months before the outbreak of World War II on September 1, 1939.
The 1940's ... With the rapid evolution of communication and technology - rumored to be fueled by reverse-engineered crashed UFOs - human progress seemed to accelerate at warp speed.
These unexplained phenomena gave rise to modern UFOlogy. Reports of strange sightings and alleged hybrid experiments spread - some tied to Hitler's obsessive quest to create a superhuman army - others whispered to be alien attempts to merge with humanity - which lead to all sorts of coverups and conspiracies, many of which exist today.
The ultimate purpose of these experiments remains unknown though many have theories - some based on humans who claim to have had ongoing interaction with other worldly entities ... beyond the gray that shrouds us in illusion.
The gray aliens that we find in media - connecting to many of the missing pieces of the UFO puzzle - are artificial intelligence - something that has integrated itself into our timeline guiding us to a final destiny.
Time's up! In 2007 the alien experiments on humans ended leaving behind enigmatic monuments and artifacts that challenge human thinking to find out more. Among them are drones in various shapes and sizes whose purpose is to secure that the human experiment ends as per the algorithm that created it.
Orson Welles was one of many conduits revealing that emotion is the engine driving the simulation we perceive as reality.
Radio signals sent out across the airwaves ... perhaps into outer space as tiggers for something or someone ...
Human discovery has brought forth many answers as programmed in the simulation of reality - but as of this post - that which we seek remains hidden - hopefully not for all time.
Through the course of human discovery, countless answers have surfaced - each unfolding as programmed within the grand design of the simulation. Yet, even now, what we truly seek remains hidden - perhaps not forever, but for as long as the story requires.

Patrick Stewart, Star Trek and X-Men actor, dead at 86
Quote: Like me, Jean-Luc has lived an unusual life that has taken him far beyond the bounds of normal human experience. But he is also someone who has remained true to his earthbound roots, for they are what gave him his identity. In the end, he feels the call of home, as do I.
Q (John De Lancie) was my favorite character of the Star Trek franchise. It was his omnipotence and mischievous side that drew me to him. I enjoyed him best with Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) but together with Jean-Luc they created absolute television magic. ~ Ellie
The 35-year relationship between Jean-Luc Picard and the omnipotent entity Q is one of the most complex, defining dynamics in the Star Trek franchise. What began as an adversarial clash between a godlike judge and a defiant human captain eventually evolved into a profound, deeply personal bond of mutual respect, mentorship, and cosmic affection.
