Also, thanks because Kathleen is gifting me a hard copy of her book where she thanks Linda and then puts (Bibi if you're out there contact me)... that was me... I'm the same BiBi... isn't life magical some days.

Update:
Ever since the thread “Anyone heard of BiBi DeAngelo” was posted on this website...I've been receiving phone calls and private emails regarding my relationship with Kathleen McGowan... therefore, I'm sharing the information posted on this site, and more information expanding on how I met Kathleen.... [There is a complete thread on this part of the site.]

Here at THIS very site!
The very last post on this page
A little thing inserted in the midst of it all:

quote:" (Bibi, if you're out there, please contact me!) "
This response post is made by Kathleen McGowan herself. [ram queen]
-of all the people in all the world to have made reference...
Could this be the very same BiBi????
Kathleen McGowan dedication in her book:
“I owe a debt to the illustrious ram queen, Linda Goodman, the late astrologer and author who first whispered this secret into my ear long before I was ready to comprehend it. She altered the course of my life with that piece of information and by leaving me her Emerald Tablet translations (Bibi, if you’re out there, please contact me!)……
I’ve been asked how Kathleen McGowan, and I got to know each other. (And Yes, I was the Bibi mentioned above).

Are you all ready… this is a journey down memory lane…

About 2 or 3 years prior to Linda Goodman’s death, I meet and got to know Stacy, who worked for one of the largest Talent Agency’s in Hollywood – William Morris. Stacy was at the Roosevelt Hotel Lounge one night with me, Philip di Franco & Linda Goodman, and after the show was over Stacy and I got to talking. Latter, Stacy called me, and asked me to lunch; because she had someone she wanted me to meet. That someone was Kathleen Harkey (Kathleen was using her maiden name at that time – her last name now -- McGowan).

Kathleen had been working with the Disney group at that time… and a Disney VP had approached me to be part of a new TV show they were trying to Produce. Disney wanted me to be the astrologer, James Van Prague to be the medium/psychic, and they were obtaining a well know psychic and numerologist to fill out the casting. The TV show was to take every day events and have the four of us predict outcomes... provide insight into the current event, etc. Unfortunately, the to-be Producers of this upcoming TV show got into such creative differences, legal papers started to fly around, that the show didn’t see the light of day. Kathleen and I knew many of the same high level executives at Disney, so we had a lot to talk about. We all met for a longggggg lunch, and then went back to William Morris, to Xerox some things I had to give to Kathleen – items Linda Goodman had given me to share.

Furthermore, Kathleen had been contacted to write what we call in the entertainment industry --- a treatment (which is a brief script that precedes the movie script). The script was for “Spiderline” (read my entry “BiBi DeAngelo shares Photo of Sally – Linda Goodman’s Daughter”). This treatment was going to be pitched (presented) to Director, Oliver Stone, through Stacey and the William Morris Agency.

Then, just like in the movie “The Matrix” when Morphisis went to see the Oracle
and it changed his life; Kathleen had her destiny changed when she met with Linda. Linda suggested Kathleen change her name, and told her to the Mary Magdalene story would change her life. Therefore, Kathleen went to the name of Kathleen McGowan and started working on the story of Mary Magdalene and as they say the rest is history!

The following information and facts were shared by Linda Goodman herself, please enjoy and even research if you desire. I can only share with you what Linda shared with me. I use the words alleged and rumored because I do not currently possess the documentation, Linda had the documentation, and shared those documents when I was in her presence. Consider me the messenger to you the listener… a representative of Linda’s truth, as she imparted to me:

Linda’s journey in sharing her birth right…. “Hazelwood.” Following two decades of research, Linda was daring to add a new chapter to American History, that President Lincoln was her great great grandfather. Linda’s claims were reportedly supported by a number of Lincoln scholars and historians. During Linda’s research she also claimed to have turned up letters written by, and photographs collected by, members of the Civil War’s Secret Service, and also the National Detective Police. Linda had uncovered a quote by President Lincoln: “I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughters”. Linda thought that President Lincoln’s sadness, and his known spells of deep melancholy, had been connected to an affair. It was alleged that President Lincoln had an affair with Elizabeth (royal blood of the Habsburg of Austria). This affair was alleged to have been 3 years in length and produced two daughters: Margaret Ellen Eager & Ella Eager – it was reported that they were twins. Linda believed that Ella Eager was her great grandmother. It was rumored that Elizabeth was legally married to a dead man, by the name of Jason Davis, because it was such a scandal to have two illegitimate daughters at this time in history.

It was also rumored that President Lincoln had signed a “Cotton Pass” (which permitted a man from NY named Henry Eager to transport cotton safely thought the lines). This infamous “Pass” was called the “Eager Cotton Pass”. This safe conduct pass for cotton was valued at 30,000 bales or equivalent to $300,000,000 now! Some hypnosis that if President Lincoln had not been assassinated, knowledge of this “Eager Cotton Pass” might have resulted in a huge scandal that may have destroyed Lincoln’s administration. Remember the alleged illegitimate daughter of President Lincoln was named Ella Eager, and the name of the “Pass” – “Eager Cotton Pass”. Think that’s coincidental?

It was also alleged that Judge David Davis had taken possession of all bonds after President Lincoln’s assassination. Now where have we heard the name of Davis prior… oh yeah.. the rumor that Elizabeth married a dead man by the last name of Davis.

Linda Goodman lived at 225 Lincoln St., Johnstown at one time in her life. How ironic is that?

Ella Eager was reported to have married a man with the last name of Kemery. Ella was reported to have a son named William Ellsworth Kemery (Linda’s grandpa). Linda’s father’s name was Robert Stratton Kemery. Daughter Sally (Sarah Elizabeth Snyder - see more information on the thread about Sally) latter took the stage name of “Stratton”. Linda Goodman’s birth name: Mary Alice Kemery. While living in Parkersburg, W.VA. Linda began her career as a newspaper writer in Parkersburg. That’s when she married her first husband William Snyder. Linda gave birth to son William/Bill and daughter Sally with her first husband William Synder.

When Linda started working as a radio announcer in Pittsburgh she took the name of Linda instead of Mary Alice. Then upon marrying the second time to Sam Goodman in 1955, she changed her full name to Linda Goodman. While married to Sam Goodman Linda gave birth to daughter Jill and son Michael. Linda moved to New York in 1963 and that’s when her career truly blossomed. The story goes that Sam Goodman died tragically and suddenly on Thanksgiving morning 1983.

The family has had a priceless litho of President Lincoln, which Linda had professionally dated back to 1867, in the family possession since 1867. Why? This litho was reported to be signed by President Lincoln himself. When I visited Linda at her hotel room in the Roosevelt Hotel, she had this litho hanging behind her desk. I thought it odd at first for her to have this “art” in her room, and asked her one day why she gravitated to this kind of art. Her reply was educating me on her hopeful upcoming book entitled “Hazelwood”.

Having spoken with the Lincoln Historical Communities, they estimated the value of this Litho to be priceless. Rumors abound as to who may have traveled to Cripple Creek to obtain it from Linda’s home. One of Linda's children has spoken that the Litho is in a safe place....

Birth name: Sarah Elizabeth Synder
Stage name: Sarah Stratton

Excerpts from: “Spider Line – Linda’s Goodman’s Search for Sally”

1. “Sally disappeared after threats against her children’s lives were received by Linda Goodman wile she was investigating the boat called “Star Quest”, involved with Watergate and many other nefarious activities under President Richard Nixon.”
2. “There is excellent cause to believe that Sally is alive, and that the book’s revelations of the circumstances causing Sally’s involuntary disappearance.”
3. While Linda was writing a series of articles for McCall’s Magazine, Linda and the Senior Editor, Dalma Heyn, choose the name “Spider Line” for the book. The choice was easy since Dr. Angel (for many years Curator of Physical anthropology for the Smithsonian Institute) told Linda “that in all his years as curator in all thousands, even millions of faces he had studied, he had never once come across the particular “mark” that has appeared in every photograph of Sally, including those taken as a child and blown up.” That mark looked like a Spider Line. The other reason “Spider Line” was a great choice was because it suggests the intricate cobweb of conspiracy Linda came across in her search for Sally!
4. Spring of 1973, Sally then 20 years old, graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York, where she won the “Best Actress” award, presented by Richard Rodgers and Helen Hayes. Within a few weeks Sally was off to begin her career with her new stage name that Linda had suggested because it was a family surname – Sarah Stratton. Sally was hired to play an ingénue leading lady to the Hackmatack Playhouse, a summer theatre in Berwick, Maine.
5. All the letters Sally wrote to Linda and her stepfather Sam “were filled with news, overflowing with optimism of five plays that would begin in late June and end just after Labor Day.”
6. Sally returned to New York and took temporary residence with the family of Peter Miner, her former director at the Academy. “Linda’s royalties had not been paid, and Linda couldn’t assist Sally financially as she desired, which greatly distressed Linda.”
7. The police were called “on December 9, 1973, to an apartment because friends of Sally who had stopped by to visit Sally, and had noticed a peculiar and unpleasant odor emanating from Apartment 6 B.
8. Address where Sally’s supposed dead body was allegedly found in a dilapidated New York apartment: West 176th Street, Apartment 6 B, New York

Now starts the clues of a Mystery:

1. Police found the remains of a decomposed body of a young female. Nearby, was an 8 page handwritten note, dated December 4th, describing great depression. One autopsy stated death was six days ago. However, other forensic pathologists, after careful study of the autopsy report, later stated that a “partially mummified” body would have to have been dead for a minimum of 3-4 weeks.
2. The autopsy report further stated “that the girl (dead body recovered from the apartment) had drunk a vast quantity of liquor in hours prior to her death, though death itself, the report stated, was a result of a massive overdose of barbiturates. The official verdict: Suicide.”
3. December 10th, Sally’s birthday, “Sam Goodman was called to the morgue to identify the body as his stepdaughter, Sally Snyder. He was accompanied by Aaron Goldblatt, an old family friend. The body of the young lady was wrapped in a distinctive quilt-comforter, rose colored, which had been a gift to Sally from Linda. A powerful “non-verbal cue”, strictly forbidden by morgue regulations, though Sam had no way of knowing that at that time.” I don’t know about any of you, however, any time I’ve seen a body at the morgue they are on the pull out slab and if anything a white sheet over the face… not a blanket from the death scene! Sam was haunted by the vision he saw at the morgue. The young lady looked more like either a “West Indian woman” or “a young black woman” with dyed blonde hair. Then latter, one of the 3 police reports filed referred to the body removed from the apartment as that of a black female with red-gold hair!
4. December 21st… Sam returns to Sally’s apartment to gather her belongings (took Sam 10 days to obtain the keys to Sally’s apartment from the authorities). The visual of Sally’s apartment shocked Sam.. the police report had reported “neat, orderly rooms”…Sam witnessed “blood everywhere … crime investigator Cleve Backstar (experienced crime investigator, called the country’s foremost polygraph expert, and head of the Becker School of Lie Detection, formerly in New York) said at least 5-6 quarts of blood. The mattress was soaked in blood (bed horizontally placed against bed – see police report below)… the walls were spattered with it, there were large pools of sticky, not quite dried blood on the floor; and the telephone was coated in blood, to which a very large quantity of human hair and tissue adhered, as though the instrument had been used to bludgeon someone’s head. The fact that it was long, soft, blonde hair, approximately the same shade of Sally’s hair – to the naked eye – made it an anguishing sight for Sam (and equally so, later for Linda).” NOW listen to this! The original police report stated: “no blood, phone perfectly clean, bed in vertical position… quilt Sally was wrapped up in the morgue… was left on bed… police report stated body was placed in a morgue “body bag”.” I don’t know about all of you… but some FACTS just aren’t connecting!
5. Linda couldn’t dismiss all the inconsistencies! Could anyone dismiss these many different accounts? Also, Linda “had been searching for a very dear friend who had been missing since July 4th 1973, who had been on the boat Star Quest. Linda had alleged that her friend had been an innocent witness to some crime aboard the Star Quest that was connected with Watergate. Linda also alleged the Star Quest was a floating brothel onto which to lure political opponents, then tape and photograph them in compromising positions. Linda’s mind also streamed back to the several threats she’d received against her children’s lives while she was investigating the boat (Star Quest), the most recent threats having been made only a couple of weeks prior to the news that Sally “was dead”.” This is something Linda and I had in common… My mother’s life and my brother’s life were threatened when I was working in Washington, D.C. Linda and I knew many of the same people in the Washington area! Ironically, both Linda and I have our “Sun” located in our natal charts in the 12th House!
6. “Although Linda made repeated and insistent requests, Linda was not given a copy of the autopsy report until nearly four months after her first visit to the morgue.” When she finally received the final autopsy several facts stood out:
• The report stated the girl in the apartment had drunk herself into a stupor, then swallowed vast quantities of barbiturates (though independently retained forensic pathologists insisted the drugs had to have been injected!). Yet, no liquor, no syringes or needles, no pills, no glasses that might have held liquor, and no bottles of liquor, no bottles that might have held pills were found by the police in the apartment!! [It doesn’t take an Einstein moment to figure out.. how is someone suppose to write an eight page note.. and date the note (ha!)… drink herself stone drunk… taken vast quantities of barbiturates.. then what.. get rid of all the evidence and then die??] Question: if you had uncovered all these inconsistencies would you not be doubtful? There is more…..
• The autopsy described “the young girl as 5 foot 3 inches tall.. Weighing 130 lbs. with well developed breasts and moderately long hair – no scalp wounds or injuries” (who got hit by the phone??” For those of you who didn’t know Sally “her vital statistics taken from her medical records made shortly before she left for Berwick, Maine to act during the summer were: 5 foot 5 inches tall, 110 lbs. Small breast, and wore her naturally blonde hair cut short to her ear lobes, this is confirmed in photographs taken in October 1973, after the summer stock season.” There is still more….
• Police reports concerning removal of the body were conflicting! One police officer described a body “removed on the night of December 9, wearing two- pieced, red pajamas. The second police officer said “body as removed on the night of December 11th, dressed in a green print blouse with puffed sleeves. Then one of the physicians described the body being autopsied, on tape, as wearing a pink nightgown. So who was the body that left several pints of blood on the bed, walls… who was bludgeoned in the head with the telephone?? There is still more…
• The book at the morgue… “When Sam Goodman and Goldblatt approached the receptionist upon their arrival at the morgue, and informed the clerk they were there to identify Sally Synder, they were shown an entry book, and asked “Which Sally Synder?” The first entry: Sally Snyder – white female age 20.. West 176th then two lines below … the initial S. Synder – white female – age 21 – West 176th Street. “Sam and Aaron pointed to the first “Sally Synder” entry, puzzled, and said, “I guess that’s the one”, dazed and not knowing what to think at that point.” This entry book was seen and witnessed by 2 people a number of years later.
• Phone bill that came in after Sally’s death indicated that someone used the phone during the time after the police took the body out, and the time Sam Goodman entered the apartment. Did someone use “the blood and hair encrusted telephone to make 2 phone calls to 2 people in Berwick, Maine, both actors in the melodrama during the 1973 summer stock season” that Sally acted with. Why would calls to Sally’s friend in the summer theater occur from her apartment after her so called death? Still more…
• The blood on the bed and walls was tested… guess what NOT Sally’s blood type? Is this getting really weird by now?? “Professor Ray Neff, of Indiana State University (Toxicologist and recognized expert in pathology, from Indiana State University, formerly Coroner in New Jersey for many years) verified that the blood found in the apartment was not Sally’s blood type, and that the hair on the telephone was not Sally’s hair, compared with standards of childhood from her baby book.” Still more…
• Handwriting experts for the supposed 8 page suicide note Sally wrote… guess what…First part of the so called “suicide note and originals of letters written by Sally that summer of 1973 were said to be forgeries by one of the foremost Questioned Document experts in the country!” (Joseph Moomaw, of Colorado, a leading analyst of questioned documents for authenticity or forgery.) Oh, by the way… this suicide note disappeared from morgue files! Want more…
• David Sikes (one time government agent and investigator for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, who taught the technique of Witness Recall to the FBI. Also, a former bodyguard of 3 Presidents and Henry Kissenger, “obtained many tapes and some signed statements on paper from the actors and actresses who performed at the Hackmatack Playhouse during the summer stock season of 1973. One discusses Sally being told “her mother (Linda) would be “killed” if Sally returned to New York. All kinds of testimony alleged that when the actors worked at Carleton Guptill many where believing and alleged that the crops were being sprayed with a variant of Agent Orange called C-300. This derivative was supposedly harmless to people, was supposedly beneficial to crops, supposedly enhanced their size and speed of growth, their quality and taste. The young performers at Berwick had a regular diet of these C-300 sprayed crops.” [Just FYI… Michael Guptill it was said was appointed by the Department of Agriculture Chief Inspector of all fruits and vegetables leaving the state of Maine.] OK.. now the biggest clue….
• “The day after a body was discovered on West 176th Street, “Sally Synder” was driven to Boston, where she checked into a hotel, stayed a few days, then disappeared. The man who drove Sally there is a nephew of Watergate plumber, Martinez. He showed one of the investigators his phone bill to verify his claim that he had received a collect call from Sally from Boston AFTER the police removed the first body from her apartment!” Might want to read that paragraph again! Ok… now ready to go to Sally might still be a live clue’s….
• Linda hired Daniel Hollman (former United States Attorney, who set up for the Justice Department the New York Organized Crime Strike Force and the Government Witness Relocation Program, who worked with James Steinberg on various occasions in connection with these) & Matthew Byrne (legal counsel to the New York Police Department at the time of Sally’s disappearance and Hollman’s law partner) to research Sally’s alleged death! Are you ready? When Hollman and Byrne made a search for the file on Sally, which police witnesses declared in written statements was “more than five inches thick”, it had MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED FROM THE DA’S OFFICE!” Ok… I’ll wait and let you re-read that sentence! Yeah, the entire file had mysteriously vanished from the DA’s office. Ok, moving right along… “Later, that same former assistant district attorney, out of office, and then in private practice in New Jersey, contacted Linda, told her he believed all she was saying, and offered his help in locating the missing Sally.” Yeah.. that’s right he wanted to help Linda find her daughter Sally! How rich is that one. “He said he would be in touch with her after he returned from a trip to Tuscon, Arizona”. (I know the spelling on Tuscon look strange, however, it’s the exact spelling in Linda’s Outline of Projected Book. ) He did not contact Linda again. More….
• “In the Spring of 1980, Linda and her investigators received a TIP that Sally was living in Tuscon, Arizona, working in a government underwritten greenhouse, where it was alleged she had undergone a nervous breakdown and had been taken to the University of Arizona hospital. When Linda and her investigators arrived several people of credibility recognized and infallibly identified photo’s of Sally, and it was learned she’d been living under a different name, in a run down house on the edge of Tuscon, with SEVERAL former students of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts!”

The photo I’m sharing with this loving forum to “Linda’s Life” was given to me from Linda Goodman herself. I took this photo to a radionics specialist to determine if Sally was still alive in 1993… upon Linda’s request! The results were that Sally’s energies were no longer on the planet……………….. Believe what you may… you’re all entitled to your free will choices… I’m just sharing from Linda’s “Outline of her Projected Book, entitled: SPIDER LINE, Linda Goodman’s Search for Sally”.

No, Linda didn't go insane... My own personal thoughts... anyone who is out there and is a parent (and especially a single parent)... you can't even afford to be sick.. you've got to be there for your child... Linda couldn't afford to break down... she had to keep searching... keep looking for her baby (as she sometimes called Sally)... she had intense fortitude to find Sally, as most mothers reading this would have...

My personal opinion about the statistics... every time another statistic was tossed on the pile... it gave Linda more strength and energy to keep searching... confirmed her thoughts that Sally was out there to be found... confirmed she wasn't losing her mind... because believe me... I sat there more than one time... listening to Linda telling others about the statistics coming in... and people would look at her like she had lost her mind... Many just couldn't fathom a conspiracy this wide and deep... it didn't make them feel comfortable... took them out of their comfort zone... made them question certain things in life... however, if Linda was crazy... they didn't have to question... interesting...

posted November 11, 2007 04:29 PM            

I’ve been privately emailed and asked to shed some light on the facts regarding if Linda Goodman did in fact write most of the content of “Linda Goodman’s Relationship Signs,” printed in 1998/99. Yes, Linda did write most of the content. I believe the reason a lot of people find it difficult to believe that this book was written by Linda was that this book wasn’t as flowing, nor did it have the same ring/rhythm of her very unique style (as I’m sure most of you will agree).

Now, the reason behind the format and style not being reflective of Linda’s prior writing style is that this project wasn’t initially written to be a book! This project was initially written to be compiled into a software program:
(1) that the brief paragraphs you see from pages 56 to page 200, are in fact brief paragraphs that were to compile themselves into a report when people would “phone in”, and desire a report on their compatibilities,
(2) that they had hired a computer programmer to place these brief paragraphs within the software for every conceivable combination for aspecting planets; therefore, when a certain aspect appeared, the software would then automatically search for the paragraph that explained that particularly aspect, and that paragraph would be added to the final report,
(3) that the tables of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto (pages 250 to 435) were also part of the programming so when certain aspects occurred between two charts the computer software could trigger the appropriate information and mathematical equations.

If you look at page xvii in the book you’ll see where it is explained that the goal was to create a “software”. Philip di Franco was very much involved in assisting this project, and he was the “friend of Linda’s” that introduced Crystal Bush to Jim McLin (Linda’s Manager). I just got off the phone with Philip, and confirmed that fact today! If you’re asking why Philip’s name wasn’t put in?? I don’t have an answer to that question!

I spent 12 and 10 hour days observing Linda grueling with putting her vast amount of insight and wisdom into paragraphs that could only be a certain word count. This structured way of writing wasn’t her style; however, it was demanded for the creation of the software.

HAPPINESS

Happiness is an interesting trap.

"FLOW" author Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says, "More than anything else, people
seek happiness." He then adds, "Happiness is sought for its own sake, but all
our other goals -- health, beauty, money or power -- are valued because we
expect they will make us happy."

In "The Path to Love," Deepak Chopra says, "... happiness too often means a
'pleasure response.' But this means there must be a stimulus attached to it.
"There can be no sense of security in your existence when it depends upon
outside factors, for the unpredictable changes of reality can never be
controlled."

So to be happy, we need to find a source of happiness beyond pleasure. Yet
biochemists have proven that pleasure can release serotonin and beta-endorphins
-- brain mind opiates that are chemically almost identical to opium. The more
you release the happier you feel. And the opiates are addictive.

So is a pleasure stimulus to the brain the same as happiness? It feels that way.
But the problem is a stimulus wears out. Deepak says, "Over time our responses
weaken if the same stimulus keeps getting repeated. The taste that was once so
sweet grows stale and cloying; the face that once enchanted becomes ordinary;
the most exciting vision becomes just part of the scenery.

"It is all important to found our happiness upon a basis that doesn't change."

In his book, "Actualizations," Stewart Emery says, "We have the implicit belief
in goals the same way we have the implicit belief in Santa Claus. It is the
continuing saga of our addiction to form. We still firmly believe that something
outside of ourselves is going to make us happy."

"If I get a million dollars, I'll be happy."
"If I get a new car, then I'll be happy."
"If I get a new job, then I'll be happy."
"If I get straight A's in school, then I'll be happy."
"If I get my Ph.D., then I'll be happy."
"If only __________, then I'll be happy." You fill in the blank.

"Goals have become part of that whole happiness-through-acquisition belief
program that everybody has bought. It works this way: For most of us, life
floats between terrible and bearable, but there is hope -- hope that life will
be more bearable if we achieve a goal exterior to ourselves. As if the
destination itself will have any effect upon the traveler.

"The fact is that goals do not deliver what we are asking and expecting them to
deliver. That has become a source of disillusionment and dissatisfaction in our
society. Every time we reach a goal, we have momentary feeling of elation
(temporary well-being) followed by a sinking realization with what we said we
wanted, but without the experience that getting what we said we wanted was going
to bring us. Ripped off again."

Dear BiBi,

Loving greetings to you, and welcome to the Gift of Agape Love Note link,
where your visit is very much appreciated. I hope that by now you have
downloaded your free gift of one of my weekly talks, and the original music
composed and written by myself and Rickie Byars Beckwith. May they be a
source of inspiration, encouragement and joy to you.

My intention in writing this letter is to personally acknowledge and
encourage your interest in exploring the universal principles governing the
universe that were shared by those of us who appear in the movie and book,
"The Secret." The good news is that you are already a perfect candidate to
immediately begin using these principles! As an individualized expression of
the only Life that there is, you have been empowered--by birthright--to
co-create your life's journey through application of the laws that have been
provided to live your life's vision, your life's dream. The only
requirements are your conviction that such laws exist, and your willingness
to command them.

As you move forward in your spiritual awareness, growth and development,
your life will increasingly reflect the Divine Wholeness residing at the
center of your being. You will take on the tenor and vibration of this
Great Something that is beyond the rational mind, yet more alive in you than
the beat of your heart, more loving than all things loved. That is what I
want you to know and to feel--that you are the beloved of the universe, that
you are loved as powerfully and unconditionally as any sage, saint, avatar
or great being that has walked the planet.

So whether it is health, wealth, relationship, creative expression--whatever
it is that you wish to magnetize into your life, its manifestation begins by
accepting that "All that the Father hath" is your divine inheritance. So I
ask you, are you ready to live from a power-packed God-consciousness that
can handle the rush of a dynamic energy that unceasingly, inexhaustibly
offers its entire treasure house to you? Good, because you are here for the
purpose of manifesting the vision of your life unencumbered by lack or
limitation--a vibrant life of wisdom, love, health, creativity and
abundance.

"Agape" is a Greek word for unconditional love, the love that birthed our
universe and all the precious beings with whom we share the planet. I
encourage you to enter the portals of 2007 in a spirit of agape, because the
world needs your contribution as a beneficial presence on the planet so that
every man, woman and child may live to their highest potential.

Peace and blessings,

Michael Bernard Beckwith

Bibi, when I listened to Linda on "The Lost Linda Tape" the other week, it just warmed my heart SO much.

Poetry and music sure is the pure language of the soul.

Linda was (is) so talented.

And I'm sure she and I are from the same other planet somewhere, out and beyond.

I've been thinking lately about this documentary I saw called "The Land Of Osiris" which gave me de ja vouz. (About ancient, ancient Eygypt- Kmet).

It brought back some stuff Linda wrote about them using sound to build the pyramid.

Apparently water was very important too- they had lots of tunnels used for water/ sound harmonics.

Neptune......NepTUNE.

And there was a Mayan (!) carving in a place forbidden to tourists- he showed a photograph of it (Stephen Mehler).

The word Maya comes from ancient, ancient Egypt (Khmet) and means water.

I'm thinking about starting a topic soon to ask what people think of music and the kundalini. I get these tingling sensations through my head sometimes when singing and go into a sort of trance.
