I think there is hardly any need for books when this discussion site seems to do it all. Why not use this forum to talk about Linda, and to tell all we know about her, if only to satisfy the minds of those wanting to know more. I get the impression that many want a book to find some rhyme and reason to her existence - and mostly to her death. I suppose a huge question is how could someone preach immortality and then die? She wrote somewhere that immortality could only be achieved when we found our twin soul. Yes, she found hers, but they lost each other again. It's the toughest journey of all, that of love. The ending in Gooberz was not quite accurate. It gave the impression she and her twin found each other again. In truth this was not quite what happened, although I expect the ultimate end in the story of twins is to eventually find their way back to each other. It might take many lifetimes, but it WILL happen. So, in this life, Linda Goodman wrote what I believe was the real ending to the saga of her twin and herself, an eventual ending she knew would come one day. Perhaps she lost the fight of her mission (for now) when her twin did not return to her. Perhaps that it why she was unable to retain her immortality, although I firmly believe those lessons to be true (for those who are ready to accept them.) In the meantime, her works mean a great deal to us all, and it seems a waste to have this terrific forum of discussion and to spend time dwelling on other possibilities of books. It's clear that a book on her life would cause unnecessary legal stress and that hardly seems a worthwhile project when so many toes may get squished int he process. This is where the people are - wanting to know information about Linda Goodman. Her fans all visit these sites to find out more. Why not discuss the things we know about Linda Goodman, in this forum devoted to her life and works? This should be a celebration of a most enlightened mind. We have her books already, let's all share the knowledge we can with one another.IP: Logged |

Julia, Linda said one would not be "fully" immortal without his/her other half (romantically speaking). She meant that the lonely immortal road is incomplete without our other half; however, she also said that by choosing immortality, we are all guaranteed to meet our Twin S-elves at some point. ------------------ "Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

Perhaps Linda died just because she *changed her mind* - people do I would like to say this... Do what you wish to do Randall ~ afterall it is not up to someone else to decide what you do with your your life - it's *yours* And unless someone is sincerely wishing to save *you* from harm in some way perhaps it's even inappropriate for them to discourage you from doing a Labor of Love? Now, I wonder what WonderFul thing Linda's true friends and family might miss out on if your book is *not* written ... hmmmmmm... I should think that unless you hear from someone at some point who might be *directly and adversely* affected by a book honoring Linda - then you should reconsider. I can't think of anything that could or should stop from being shared... The very idea, to me, is just silliness. ~princess ------------------ "To reMember One's consciousness One must reMember their conscience." ~ K.L. Morgan IP: Logged |

Julia~~ on many points I do agree with you. However, books are written about many people to honor and celebrate their lives as people ... as individuals with human struggles and to go deeper and beyond the persona projected out to the world. I sometimes wonder if Linda does not get lost sometimes in the ideas and truths given to her and passed on to us. She was a regular person who had loves and hurts and no, I do not think that a biography would harm anyone. Well, there are two that I can think of. Her twin ... and I would advise randall to focus on other things. And the people who have profited off of her death.Julia, you are so right about the immortality choice she made and her death... made me wonder too. IP: Logged |

If you go ahead with your book idea let me know, I worked for a private investigator Linda hired when she was looking for her daughter and might be of some help to you.Richard IP: Logged |

RANDALL I think you must write the biography.Nobody has really cared to focus on the pains she had to endure during the course of her spiritual journey. And I just have this feeling (I get these kind of feelings often)that you may able to convey this pain to through your writing. SAHANAIP: Logged |

Randall...I really think this is a book many are in need of right now. They need to know that it is OK not to be perfect...and to admit life is a struggle. That even if in the end we fail...that too is ok. They need to realize we only gain from looking at the way we 'fought the good fight'. Just as Linda is right now reviewing her sturggles and her actions against those struggles. It's like taking tests in reverse...only by looking at the wrong answers do we learn. They need to know that it is all right to be human. After all that is what we choose to be. We need to see the 'person' Linda was... Sometimes it is easier to identify with a person than an 'idol'. Then when we screw up we don't feel quite so bad. Perhaps that is what Linda had in mind all along. To be a friend we could emphathize with rather than worship. Randall....Linda would like you to write this book. Whether or not she died or faked her death...whether she is SPIRIT or IMMORTAL..that does not matter. She needs you to un-deify her. Randall....give her back her humanity ------------------

What YIVY said Or, Randall, how about just writing a book? Does it have to be a biography of Linda? I think an autobiography of Randall would be quite interesting, and in this venue too you can say or express about Linda, and her impact on your Life, all you ever wanted to ~Princess IP: Logged |

If we can't have the biography, I'm with C.P. Obviously Linda's ideas hit home with a lot of people and *she* always advocated one researching things for onesElf. When contemplating new ideas isn't it good to view the source? I think that it helps to put things in context...esp. since Gooberz didn't reflect the outcome of her life (in this reality anyway). Don't you think that a biography would help people better identify with her intentions? BTW, Gooberz has to be my most highly valued book in my collection. A biography would take an honored place next to it ------------------ Namaste IP: Logged |

Pesrer,Pester1. Linda was an immortal in a mortal body 2. Linda's message in Goober'z was 'hope' and 'love is all'. Linda was tested and tested. She had a lot to learn. 3. I explained in an earlier post that immortals do NOT have children. 4. Only a small percentage of the earth's population has reliable electricity never mind the internet. Books can eventually reach everyone. ps sorry if i'm blunt but I am an Aries IP: Logged |

RandallSorry getting ahead of myself, I meant twin selves (That was in a previous post) but also immortals don't have children,sex,sleep,food,pain or human bodily function. Depending on the stage of development these needs are eliminated. You may think then what's the point, the point becomes more apparent the closer you get. The closer you get the less you would ask the question. Love to all IP: Logged |

I most humbly disagree. We are still physical BEings. Jesus was immortal, and He did all those things (even had children according to some scholars). ------------------ "Man is the only animal that blushes...or needs to." Mark Twain IP: Logged |
