5 Alchemists on a Journey....
Wednesday, Messages From Z ... two days before the trip
Ancient archeology will bring you an answer
A man with a hat will help you
Answer is not with the lion and the lamb. [We traveled upstate on Good Friday] ....The answer lies with SAM, [Sarah and Alexander? 'M' 'W' reversed? 'Sam I Am' from Green Eggs and Ham a 50-word story from Dr. Seuss published in May 1954, Theodor Seuss Geisel and WWII
Don't question, It's right in front of you.
You will hear unusual noises.
Answer is atop a tree, I heard this 3X
Answer is not XYZ; It's ME
The answer is not what you think.
You'll understand when you're upstate
A man with a hat will help you.
The diner will be on right-hand side of the road, It was
You will be aligning Time and Dimension
Arches will guide you
You have to watch or you'll miss something
Train in distance on right, It was
You'll learn something, It's not just about the energy
Quotes, Quotations, Quotients
I bring you a Quest. One part is Ron, one part is Ellie & Trae, one part is George, and one part is Pat
Whistling, heard in my home last week, from an unknown source, by my friend Pat and I, is a harmonic signal that something linked to my story of Sarah and Alexander is about to be shown, once again verifying my work here.

Background information
This was a gathering of souls, from different walks of life, a unique groups of individuals, guided to this moment in time. Though each of us is normally busy, or originally had other plans... synchronicity created this union of soul mates. It was all about the alchemy of time and consciousness. 5 alchemists on a journey of discovery.
You would be amazed at how readers of Crystalinks are alchemists but have come to that understanding yet.
The synchronicities in my life have always read like bread crumbs on a trail in the woods, left for me to follow, leading to magic and mystery and the voice of discovery.
From ages 6 through 11, ending 50 years ago in 1954, my family spend summers in the Catskill mountains where we traveled on this day. At age 11, in 1954, I went to Nevada where I had a unique experience in the desert and met my spirit partner Z! There is a lot of history in that area of New York, and neighboring New Jersey, linked to the founding fathers of our nation and the ancient mystery school teachings brought forth at this time in the evolution of human consciousness. I am Aquarius.
Trae/Marcus and I met in 1995, through a strange series of synchronicities. Knowing nothing about my connection to Z or my book 'Sarah and Alexander', I found Trae on a UFO list server anmd sent him an email. Trae replied signing his name AlexZander. That was how it all began for us.... Trae is a free spirit, traveling the world, different career, successful at each. At the time he was working in IT allowing him to travel the world and live in different countries. He lived in NY for a few years but was recalled by his company to Seattle, just before the computer industry crashed. Presently he lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where he works as a massage therapist while taking a masters program in business. When Trae returned to New York this week, he knew he was home and would move back here in 2 years after he finishes school. He and I have a long history, of many lifetimes, including WW II German working as physicists on time travel technologies, the old west in the mid-late 1800's, off planet grid programs, among others. Trae is linked to my journey with Alexander and Z. He is also the Admin. Man for Crystalinks. You might call him my balance partner as he is the only person I have ever met who has the same agenda that I do, knows why he is here, what he has to do, and has an ongoing repartee with Z. Another sent of synchronicities brought up to the Catskills on July 4, 1996. And so our journey continues.... Trae thinks out of the box. Trae is Pisces.
George and I met in the Rock Star Crystal Warehouse in June 2003. He is from northern NJ. He is retired from IT and the corporate world, and is a massage therapist, energy worker, astrologer, and spiritual counselor in Manhattan. He is a free spirit who knows why he is here. George thinks out of the box. George is Sagittarius.
Pat was a client who became a close friend, lots of shared interests and fun. Pat owns a company that manufactures mannequins in the US and Europe. She is lives in Bay Ridge not far from me. Pat also has a home in Florida where she spends some of her free time swimming with the dolphins, studying Gematria, and doing energy work. Pat thinks out of the box. Pat is Scorpio.
Ron has his own IT company based in northern New Jersey. He is one of the survivors of the crash that hit the IT world. He is a free spirit. He is a brillant man who wears many 'hats' including inventor. We met in June 2002, when Trae added an extra email address to my account. The next day, Ron sent an email to that address, without me posting it for the readers. We met, the click was instant, we were on the 'same page' and would continue this journey till the end of time, the synchronicities forever unfolding for us as we bring information technology to each other most days. We want to have our own radio show, a comedy, but the timing is not right. My phone rings...I say Hello... Ron says Hello and we burst out laughing. Ron thinks way out of the box. Ron is Virgo!
For all of our difference, we share something in common, that created the components which allowed us to journey this day through the alchemy of time.

The Drive Upstate...
10:30 am, Pat, Ron, Marcus, George and I met outside Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, 42nd Street and 8th Ave., after a bit of confusion due to Mercury Retrograde. Anticipating these retrograde moments, we decided to meet earlier on, to compensate for any delays. It's moments like these that you appreciate cells phones and a knowledge of astrology.
After getting under way, Mercury Retrograde did not affect our adventure, as if we were not part of physical reality, but on a guided tour by the Big Z and company.
The drive upstate was filled with ongoing laughter and synchronicities as we headed out of the city, due north, in Ron's white Lincoln Navigator, with its 22 inch shiny chromes rims. You couldn't miss us coming down the road.
Along the way... Z brought me messages that would be part of out trip, signposts, if you will. Among the things to look for were, the police, a stream near a cave, things linked to Sarah and Alexander, a stone, and a spark of light.
'Stone' embodies three powerful concepts for us. First, stone symbolizes the Earth, nature and the environment. Second, it stands for our wish to make something lasting, strong convictions grown through dedication and perseverance. Third, it represents a connection with the past. Many cultures revere rocks as having a timeless bond to heritage and ancestry. In ancient times, stones were to only way to record informaion for posterity. Stone carving and ancient rock art that speak of ancient times and civilizations. "It is written in stone." Crystals are stones that carry frequency and speak to us. There is much stone symbology including the eXcalibur, The Sword in the Stone, which takes us to Merlin ... Magic... and Alchemy.

In my mind I heard the name Stanton Friedman, 3X. I met him in Las Vegas on July 4, 1989 at a MUFON conference. He is a physicist interested in exposing government cover-ups. He wrote a book called Top Secret Majic

-
Z also 'showed' me gears and spirals of energy.
Z aligned Trae's matrix with his own, thus connecting their grid points.
As we drove north, we all felt shifts in energy at the same time. The energies were building ....stronger and stronger.
To determine the direction I must take when driving on a highway, I always look at the place Z is waiting for me, then head off in that direction. On this day, we all knew where Z was.
As Ron grew up this area, he knew it well. On this day, we would not lose our way.
"A message atop a tree....." We passed a sign above some trees that read , "Brooklyn is returning to the Monticello." (laugh)
From Big Z to Big G....
The man with the hat turned out to be a gas station attendant named Big G, a tall burly black man with a great sense of humor.
Big G was enamored with the chrome mags on Ron's Navigator as we stopped to ask for direction for a local gas station. Big G looked at Ron and said, "Yo! Dat ride's ... off ... the ... meat ... hook!"
After a humorous exchange of conversation between them ... Ron can really get into the street slang, Big G told us to drive past the police station to find the the 'Blue Horizon' dinner, which was on the right hand side of the road. Blue is Z's frequency, Horizon, Sun Symbology, other metaphors.
As we arrived at the diner, it began to rain. No one was the least bit concerned, as if we all had the weather under control for the rest of the day. It would stop and the sun would come out! And so it did.... it only rained while we having lunch after which the sun came out and the temperature was perfect.
-
After lunch....
Off we went down the road, each of us guided north, though we had a road map to gives names to the places we were passing.
From 'Sarah and Alexander', we passed a sign that read, 'Twin Crossings'. We were getting closer...
No more than 10 minutes later we passed an Ashram, Atma Nidhi that, I am told, belongs to Siddha Yoga.
This is where we had to go, and we knew it, though we do not study these belief systems. I practice nothing, not even yoga, and meditation is back to communciation with spirit not sitting around and waitng for answers.
This journey was about the energies and geometry of the land.
We drove through the entrance and noted that the grounds were well kept, and the energies powerful.
Pat was most familiar with the ashram as she is into energy work. She noticed a statue of Ganesh who is the God of luck and fortune, of doorways, of the household, and of writing...[Did someone say writing?]
We were not sure if we would be allowed to stay at the ashram, as we pulled into the parking lot. There were many cars, yet no one was around.
The ashram has many small buildings for meditation. The main building is called a meditation 'cave!' We had found our cave. Now we would find the stream. We began to wander along the paths.
Ron told us that in 1989 he had a business in Staten Island that dealt with environmental control. He had only one job that year in upstate NY, at this Ashram. Now he was returning, 15 years later, another synchronicity...
1989 was the eventful year that included many global consciousness changes, that lead to the MUFON conference in Las Vegas on July 4th weekend. It was about more than UFO's. It attracted speakers from all aspects of research, science to metaphysics, to conspiracy theorists, when all was not about healing your issues. The conference of about a thousand people opened a giant door for the next phase of human consciousness. The next step would be something called the Internet s the program began its final phase. In 1989 I wrote my first draft of 'Sarah and Alexander'.

The Meditation Walk...
The air was crisp and clear as we walked toward the meditation trails.
Once there we quickly discovered that no one was around so off we went into the woods. It was magic come alive. We were all alone on the 4 paths as if in a separate reality, as if in a bubble, no one else around, yet there were many cars in the parking lot. Could the rain have deterred the other people?
We noted that though it had just rained, the ground was not muddy.
Clues were everywhere, as if a giant roadmap.
We followed our guidance, walking alone, or in groups of 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Ron noticed a piece of barbed wire embedded in a tree which reminded him of WW II, 60 years ago. I 'saw 'him as a Jewish man during WWII, wearing a yarmulke on his head.
I can surmise that we all know each other through the loops of time and dimension.
We saw fallen trees in a circle.
Trae and the Trees

We found feathers on the paths, and a knowing of Native American connection. This later lead to a discussion of Hopi Prophecy.
It is written that "One must 'open their heart' to find their way home." That is about merging the 3 higher chakras with the 3 lower ones at Zero Point which is the Heart Chakra, Green, Healing, Alchemy of Consciousness.
We found several trees with mushrooms and a vine in the shape of a heart with water flowing through it.



Suddenly, there it was...the footbridge and the stream right out of 'Sarah and Alexander', the end of the journey.

The water beneath the bridge had a small area that flowed together. This is a symbols I have seen for all of my life, used to dream about it, and never knew exactly what it meant. It now became more that a metaphor. Streaming information... Merges

To your right, behind us, is the tree growing around the stone.

Ellie & Trae = ET
To the right as we crossed over the footbridge was the stone with the tree growing around it. This tree was different and very tall.

I crossed over the footbridge with AlexZander/Trae. We stood by the tree and the stone. Thoughts of Merlin and the Magic of time and dimension entered my mind. Our link with time and space would now be shown.
The rock is a stone marker for the Tree we needed to find.
Intuitively I placed my left [receiving] hand on tree and my right hand on rock. Intuitively Trae placed his right hand on tree and left hand on rock, making a circuit and connecting male and female.
The energy felt like a huge generator, electromagnetic energy, surges of energy through the tree and the rock.
Trae and I connected the energies of the tree and stone rock to the Great Pyramid .... then to the Verrazano Bridge .... creating a triangle.
The energy of what we were doing was sent through the grids, all grids, and all other trees.
I am not certain how long Trae and I stood there. Though we assumed we were there for 40 minutes, we later discovered it was two hours.
Trae and I were given the tools to complete our work here. This level of alchemy and consciousness cannot be placed into words or written symbols.
Ron, Pat and George walked a short distance away from Trae and I, to allow us time alone. When we rejoined them, they reported that that had heard funny noises above the trees as Trae and I touched the tree and stone. Ron said that the noises sounded like a rusty gate or door, or rusty old weather vane changing direction, or large rusty gears turning. They couldn't place the location of the noise because at one point it was in front of them, then it was ahead of them, then it was above them. It was definitely not a bird or an animal.
-
Going Home ....
We were all exhausted from the energies and whatever changes they created within our DNA. The only road home is through balance and the activation of your DNA.
Trae fell asleep in the back of the car as it almost looks like a small bed.
Z said to watch the cloud formations. We saw an oval shaped cloud, dark inside with a white ring around the outside. It changed into a Mandelbrot Fractal , Creation .... after which a rainbow appeared through the middle of the cloud. I was unable to take a photo as there was no where to pull over.
Along the road we saw the spark of light Z had mentioned. It was sun reflecting off of a balanced rock near the top of a hillside. You know that all roads lead to the return to balance, 'T', Time, Zero Point - Merge of matter and anti-matter, Reunion of self, Return to spiraling consciousness, Rebirth.

I looked over at Ron and saw him in 2 other life times, unable to see, the pupil is missing. Pupil, student. Void of creation.
I saw Ron as a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt. All I heard was ... The 5th Dynasty. Here we find the epithet "zR' Son of Re".
![]()
Eye of Horus - Ancient Mystery School Teachings, Ancient Architecture is the Blueprint of our Reality, Sacred Geometry
I also saw Ron as an old Tibet wise man in the time line of Buddha - Ganesh. His pupils were also missing.

Gold, Alchemical transition of consciousness... Flowing streams of conscious thought
It was all about his eyes, windows of the soul, the all seeing eye, ancient mystery schools, freemasons, Eye of Ra, Sun gods in all programs, one must see beyond the physical eyes...etc.

Gilgamesh - "It is not the Lion or the lamb...It is SAM ... I AM...That I AM!"
It's all a Tail....Tale.
-
I heard the words, "Days Inn" several times. As we came to the Lincoln Tunnel, we saw the 'sun' sign for Days Inn at Days End.... We entered the tunnel. It was very congested ... so many vehicles trying to find their way.
Ron thinks this symbol looks like the sun and monolith from the movie '2001'
-
And so it is written .... By the Big Z, The Big Apple, The Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden ...when consciousness fell, An eXperiment in Time in which we are the pupils who must learn to see.

Thus Spake Zarathustra, Easter 2004

In my wake-up dream four days later, I was given a white stone. It was small enough to hold in my hand. After I awoke I did a search for 'white stone symbology'. Again we return to Alchemy... We search for the Holy Grail.. along the path.
The White Stone is the Philosopher's Stone turning metal into gold, transmutation of consciousness, through the spirals of DNA.
-
The next website connects the white stone with Revelation 217, which is my birthday.
-
Mushroom and Mankind has an image of the last supper. We traveled upstate on Good Friday. It talks about Jesus, magical plants, Moses, Manna, The Arc of the Covenant, more. Upstate we found a Tree with mushroom hearts.

The White Stone, This website is about the adventures of someone who was given a milky white stone. It also references the number 11:11, so I decided to post the link.
