We are getting our own server soon, so we will no longer be plagued by the quick growth we are having and constantly having to prune for space. I always have a rough time making decisions on what should go and what should stay, because I value everything posted. It's been tough. But now our growth is unhampered! I want to add a few new Forums, but only if they are good ones that add to the ambiance at Lindaland. Any ideas? What about Ask The Psychic (if I can find a genuine one who will donate time)? Or a Forum for Aselzion to answer questions and discuss his experiences with Linda? Or Ask The (Chaldean) Numerologist? Or Free Tarot Readings (by a live Tarot Master), including discussions and interps given by the Moderator? We are attracting a lot of attention in the New Age community, and there are many possibilities available now that we have never had before. As always, everything will be FREE! ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

Hi dear Webmaster 2003 begans with Great News for Lindaland ! I think a forum about Spirituality would be sensational. Where we could discuss aspects of the sacred books, The New Gospel, Tanach, Koran, Kabalah, etc. These books contain more mysteries than we can imagine. The Bible - for instance - speech about mumerology and astrology in the implied sense. We could also discuss about religions.The organized ones and the not organized (or not so known) and who knew would teach who wanted to learn. And in this Forum it could have a Psychic to "guide" some doubts. The difficult maybe is to find an Psychic available. A Forum for numerology it would be great. A lot of times I see knowflakes at UC having doubts about numerology, the difference between chaldean and Pitagoras, etc... Stella Polaris has one doubts that nobody got to answer, on the Norwegian alphabet, that has letters that any other alphabet has... Maybe in a forum only for numerology, someone that knew the answer could help her ( us ). Tarot Readings ! I don't need to answer ! Fantastic ! Aselzion could be a moderator in Linda's Life... I'm talking to much today... Love Jakie "Ah! Don't say you agree with me. When people agree with me. I always feel that I must be wrong." Oscar Wilde

Hi Randall! I was actually thinking about this the other day. I thought it would be great to have a forum or more like a mail box or data bank where we could post our experiences/stuff/*** bits we read or learn. about different subjects. Exampel: If the forum is called Experience Exchange, I'd mail some stuff I've read about "Pluto transits". And then other knowflakes/moderators could send whatever they want to post about "Pluto transits". Then if you search for special info about Pluto transits you'd know where to look..See what I mean?? There are so many resources here and it would be good to sort them out (yes, I'm a Virgo!). Also, we come from different countries and have sources that might not be translated or found in USA/UK. For instance, I just read a great Danish book on tarots and a great French book on karmic astrology,it would be nice to have somewhere to just post extracts from the books without really putting them up for discussions. And in a place they'd be easy to find for other people here.PS: Jakie! I know you're here right now! I never visit Free for all, but I think you made me stop here tonight! Love, Stella. IP: Logged |

Sex/Sexuality and Astrology seems to be a popular topic within the Astrology Forum, so maybe give it it's own Forum. You could then migrate several threads right to it.Celebrity Astrology is pretty popular outside Lindaland on other sites, yet is not given much attention here, except on the occasional thread. Seamistress had a great thread going on the former LG site that rocked, everyone loved it. It seems to be popular to chat about celebrities, and it's fun to pick Sun signs and stuff for the fictional characters in movies, as the thread on Twin Towers indicates. Possibly a Forum where people can relate stories from themselves and others that will serve to build a body of research on transits and such. For example, when someone says that so-and-so said or did something and that it may be that person's Venus in Scorpio square her Mars, or someone's new car has all these probems, and they bought it during Mercury Rx or Mars square their Jupiter. So like a specific place to present problems where others can chime in with astrological related causes and so forth. So, Astrology & Sex Celebrity Astrology Why is this Happening?! Love, Carlo

Randall...I'd be happy to open a forum on things Qabalistic. I don't pretend to be an expert of any sort, but I love the knowledge and conversations that come about. I am particularly interested in Numerology (both Chaldean and Pythagorean)... Tarot/Qabalah/Astrology English Language Qabalah and allocations of Astrology/Tarot to the English Alphabet. However, my goal, as in Linda's personal talks and lectures is not to analyze SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL's names or Numbers, UNLESS there is a general application that can be illustrated by such a specific. I say this only as I am a nurse and have a busy schedule, so GENERAL information that can be utilized BY individuals is a much cleaner way for me to handle it than by "doing numerology" or Qabalistic interpretations on a person to person basis... does this make any sense? No offense intended! As always, I'd be happy to answer any questions about my time working with Linda and sharing whatever I can recall about the conversations that we shared. Blessings...

Aselzion, Randall you rock!I think the sexual and celebrity forums would be great! I know we have a health & healing but I feel funny to post about food their so how about a food forum? Like for recipes or talking about favorite foods.
What about a work forum- since not everyone's work is a labor of love? I don't know! I am just trying to help contribute d p.s. Linda-land rocks!

Haha Jackie-that was funny!I like the ideas of Sex Astrology or Why is this Happening? I like the "Why is this Happening?" idea because a lot of people ask those questions in the Astrology forum, looking for specific help from astrologers. Those posts often get lost among the other threads and this way, astrologers can peek in and people can post actual questions in one place where it's understood that specific questions are needed and that it is time consuming for astrologers to "just look at" people's charts. That's my 2 cents. ------------------ "What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged |

Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? My grades are getting a lot better and I'll be back posting all the time in the summer. *I love the idea of a Tarot or Psychic forum, I think it would be a great bonus for a site like this to have. But the only problem I see is the DEMAND, which I believe can be worked around. Numerology forum or Aselzion's forum would be excellent choices. *But I also don't think a Sex Forum would be really needed for LindaLand, since there is no extentisive information other then aspects. Also people may get extremely opinionated and it could cause hurt feelings for certain Sun Sign people (it's happened before.) It's a better subject left in Soul Unions.
*LindaLand should keep focusing on ALL kinds of love. The forum Why is this happening? is another excellent idea. So Randall...it's your ball and I hope you make a good choice (it probably will be.) -StarLover IP: Logged |

because the astrology forum is so extensive, i suggest breaking it up into general topics: transits and carlo's great weekly predictions; planet and astrological sign characteristics; horoscope interpretations; in addition to the new celebrity/fictional characters horoscopes, why is this happening?, and sexual astrology/ synastry IP: Logged |

Find a good psychic and put in a Psychic forum. I don't think we really need more astrology or love advice, but a numerology or tarot forum would be nice.Could you post a link to some of this publicity, Randall? I'd like to see it so I can, uhh, feel good for LindaLand. ------------------ "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword." - Anonymous IP: Logged |

I don;t like the idea of publicity for LL just because it would get too crazy, and you'd probably attract a ton of people who don;t even know who LG was. Not that I'm promoting exclusivity, just that it would lose the community-feel. and i'd probably wanna hide and take my picture down. ------------------ "What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged |

By attention, I mean e-mails from various people (including members of Linda's family). I, too, like the community feel--but in addition to being a place for those who Loved Linda, I also think it would be nice to help introduce newbies to Linda and her books. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

You Cappies...always rephrasing things and putting them into different perspectives to make them sound better. When you put that way, it sounds great! I jumped to the coclusion that publicity meant ads for the site all over the net.------------------ "What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged |

What about a past life forum, we could do regressions ( is that the right word?) Meditations and what we were discussing in astrology forum about the karmic astrology,talk about what we can determine from our charts that can tell us our possible past lives.IP: Logged |
