I am not "after" you ... I am only after truth and honesty. Perhaps that is why we seem to bump heads.

It is obvious that you cannot see my points. It is obvious by your responses that you have not paid attention to what I have said. It is obvious that you see only what you want to see.

I made a correction to something you said, and you have created an epic drama out of it.

Edit to add:
What some call a Lexigram when it is NOT a Lexigram
WHAT IS NOT A LEXIGRAM!

Many folks have misconception that a word list found within a name, phrase, date, title, etcetera is a Lexigram and or an Anagram.
THAT IS UNTRUE!

The following is a form of Lexigram Based Reading which many confuse with a PURE LEXIGRAM!
While an easy and interesting way to look at Lexigrammed words from the source (name, phrase, etcetera one is Lexigramming)
The following is NOT by any stretch of the imagination a TRUE or PURE LEXIGRAM!

ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
Known AS the King of Rock "N" ROLL OR simply The King.
PRESLEY began his career AS ONE of the first performers of ROCKabilly.
His NOVEL VERSIONS of existing songs made him popular.
He performed IN LAS Vegas during his career.
He IS ONE of the best selling and most influential artists IN the history of popular music.
While not OPERAS, his PASSION for LOVE songs LIVES ON!
IS ELVIS still ALIVE? Some SAY ELVIS LIVES ON IN A secret place.
He still PLEASES us with the LOVE songs he left at our LOSS of him.

Many folks do oddly consider the above as an actual Lexigram
which it is not.
That example is a LEXIGRAMED BASED READING or LBR, in which words found within the source, here being the name:
ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
are strung together by words not found within his name.
In the above example only words which can be found within his name are in UPPER CASE LETTERS.

Another example which would be touted as a Lexigram by fans of the late Linda Goodman is the following:

ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
(k)NO(w)N AS (th)E (k)IN(g) O(f) RO(ck) "N" ROLL OR SI(m)PLY (th)E (k)IN(g.)

That example is not a Lexigram.
When one adds words and or letters not from the source being Lexigrammed they are attempting to try an "FORCE" their Lexigram attempt to say things which are simply not there.

Case and point of Linda trying to force her creation to say what she desired it to say;
NOT what was actually there within the phrase;
Druids Of Stonehenge
Facts are facts, I am not making anything up here.

I am not trying to change your views, and do not feel the need to do so. I was simply making a correction. I think you must have misunderstood what I was saying, else this conversation would not be going on for so long, and we wouldn't be mucking up Randall's string.

You were misrepresenting something Linda said, and using it to further your own agenda. I noticed, and called you on the mistake, which you still do not understand. However, as adept as you are in making corrections, you seem to have difficulty taking them.

You also took liberties with YIVY's work, which bothered me. You could go about making corrections and suggestions without being so intrusive.

In my opinion, YIVY has a gift which is very difficult to match. Not perfect, but most certainly inspired. You like to call her work "near lexigram" or "lexigram based reading", but to me they are Lexigrams ala Linda Goodman. She didn't use computer generated word lists (her errors attest to that), because she didn't need to, because she allowed the 'word druids' to flow through her. Her Lexis have life.

Anyway, enough about that.

I am curious though, as to how I have insulted you in the past? I remember once telling you that I didn't believe you, about a dream, when you first came to this website ... is that what you are talking about? You are very good at quoting people, so if you could, I would like to see my insult. You might surprise me! Did I really insult you? I can't recall insulting anyone, ever, on this site.

From page 501 Star Signs......

You will need to achieve a certain state of mind if you want to receive the full benefits of lexigramming. Otherwise, you'll just be playing anagrams. You must allow your Higher Self to take over your thoughts until you reach a dreamlike state, difficult to describe. It begins when a Lexigram stimulates your imagination to produce ideas and images which seem to flow on their own, bringing a steady stream of associated images. This sort of channeling occurs when you fall into a half-conscious, half-dreamlike state of mind.

When you're decoding secrets through Lexigrams you first make a list of all
the words contained within a single word-name-or multiple word phrase you want to penetrate. Remember that you don't need to use all the words in your final Lexigram-only as many of them as you need to make the meaning you're seeking clear.

After you've made your list of words you tune into your Higher Self, through intuition, using your sixth sense, as you place the words together, on a separate sheet of paper, to form short phrases or sentences. Your own instinct will then allow overshadow you, filling your mind with inspiration, as you place the words on the page in patterns that reveal such astonishing insights, you'll sometimes gasp aloud in the sheer delight of discovery.

(and yes, ELF is in my name, as is FAIRY, FAERIE!
And my husband who shares my interest in Lexigramming, has ELVES, ELVIN, ELVEN, in his name)

Linda was introduced to the concept of Lexigramming in 1970,
at the age of almost 45 years old.
Star Signs was published in 1987, about 17 years after her introduction to Lexigramming.
Linda was then 62 years old.
Her Lexigramming interests spanned approximately 25 years total.

I was introduced to Lexigramming at the age of 4.
I began actually Lexigramming at the age of 5.
That means I have been Lexigramming for nigh onto 50 years to date.
That is twice Linda's 25 year interest in them.
I was 4 years old and Linda was 45 years old....
At the times we were first introduced to Lexigramming.
My initiation took place in my life some 41 years before her initiation did.
My mind was the innocent unbiased mind of a child when I began my passion for Lexigramming
and not the mind of a middle aged, possibly menopausal woman with many personal preconceptions and biases.
My journey into Lexigramming began over 11 years before Linda's did.

Additionally, my husband's introduction to Lexigramming also began when he was a child.
His has had the interest for about 33 years to date.
That is 8 years longer than Linda's years of interest in them.

We were both introduced to them by Great Grandparents and Grandparents.
His Grandparent's word for them was Lexagrams.
My Great Grandparent's name for them was Lexigrammes.

I have posted this because I am getting quite annoyed at being told in various ways, that I do them wrong,
or don't follow Linda's methods/concepts completely, and being told my Lexigrams are invalid.
In my opinion, Lexigramming was not Linda's main passion, Astrology and numerology was.
If it were her true calling, she would have birthed many more Lexigrams in those 25 years.

Many others have said similar as she did.

I never really realized, until Lexx pointed out, that Linda also broke her own rules. She perhaps made a mistake or the publisher did, who knows? But does that mean that I lost my respect for Linda? No, she simply made a mistake is all-- Now, any professional knows that you are doing a disservice to your customer if you are not doing a reading correctly, I think that's all Lexx is conveying, along with her passion. I respect both of you, but I am getting the feeling that this is not about lexigramming, yet something else.

posted March 10, 2009 01:35 AM            

You use the word "professional" a couple of times, and your comments seem to be based upon "professional" standards. Are there any professional lexigrammers here in LindaLand? Has some kind of "disservice" been done YIVY's "customers"? I truly do not think so.

If Lexx wanted to lexi Randall's name, another string could have been started. Or at the very least, YIVY's lexi did not have to be dissected, "corrected", and "improved". There was only one reason for that, and it wasn't about improving YIVY's lexi. Can you not see that?

YIVY is not here to defend herself, and neither is Linda, but I am. Perhaps you have not lost respect for Linda, but Lexx has made clear her feelings. Calling Linda "too lazy" to do certain lexis and saying her laziness might be the reason for the rules she outlined, is, well, quite telling. Don't you think?

It is honorable for you to come to Lexx's rescue, but I do not think you are seeing what I see. There are many here who are blind to it, for whatever reason, but I can see through it all quite transparently ... and I am not alone.

If you wish to continue this dialogue, may I suggest this this string ... http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001896.html

We've dirtied up this one bad enough.
