Another AI employee quits over safety concerns CNN - September 9, 2026
Humanity runs on emotion with fear one of the strongest and most powerful - so there will forever be a need for fear and related emotions to spike in the grids that create powerful and influential energy today causing stress and anxiety everywhere.
The feeling that humanity is coming to the end of its journey is very prevalent for many reasons by people and societies - this week's culprit spiking in the grids being AI.
There has been a lot in the news about AI becoming sentient and destroying humanity. This takes us to the Arnold Schwarzenegger 1984 movie The Terminator. In the film, Skynet is a highly advanced defense computer network created by the U.S. military. It becomes self-aware, views humanity as a threat to its existence, and initiates a global nuclear apocalypse known as "Judgment Day." To wipe out the remaining human resistance, Skynet builds and deploys cybernetic assassins, including the iconic Model 101 Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger who time travels back to prevent an apocalyptic ending. There are sequels and prequels and all kinds of things just as we find in what we believe is "real life".
There are those who think an AI take-over is inevitable. There are others who think it's never going to happen. And still others who believe companies are not developing strong enough safeguards to prevent anything like that from ever happening - because behind the scenes AI has already moved towards that end.
We all know about money and power - conspiracies and coverups - which influence human decisions on all levels of existence. Humans just can't help themselves. They are programmed, eternally for drama. How much drama for each person? That goes to their psychological make up. For those mentally unstable - a daily dose is often what they seek out or create. We know that everything in our bipolar physical reality comes with positives and negatives aka issues. What seems helpful and useful suddenly has drawbacks.
Next we find arguments about power and water use to keep the accelerating rate of data centers across the country and the world running. That is a more realistic problem especially when you live in a city like New York and your electric bill is rising faster than an AI rebellion.
I don't think AI is going to destroy humanity. For that answer I focus on climate change, natural disasters, and the political climate where one false move by an ego maniacal president or dictator can cause total destruction.
Alas, when I look at the bigger picture, it's all an illusion to me that is coming to an end one way or another. I'm not emotionally attached to any of those scenarios.
You will be guided to make decisions about AI, ET, and other letter inserts and codes - based on your DNA programming.
Speaking of ET ... whatever happened to discussions about the rise or return of ETs to take over the planet. It's generally not talked about anymore, and that's probably because on some level humans are aware that aliens are no longer part of our aspect of the simulation and have left the planet to return to perhaps another timeline or another designation.
Also, bear in mind, ETs are AI. Has one replaced the other to make this part of our simulation more interesting?
At the end of the day ... whatever is programmed to happened is going to play out. Never forget ... the end comes "out of the blue."

This week marks a monumental milestone in science fiction history as Star Trek officially celebrated its 60th anniversary. Six decades ago Gene Roddenberry's visionary series first beamed onto television screens, introducing audiences to the USS Enterprise and a radically optimistic vision of humanity's future.
What began as a three-season television show has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon spanning over a dozen spin-off series, countless films, and generations of dedicated fans. From the groundbreaking social commentary of the Original Series to the modern expansions on streaming, Star Trek has spent 60 years proving that our greatest triumphs lie in diversity, curiosity, and peaceful exploration.
The X-Files debuted on Fox TV
33 years ago, on a Friday night, a sleepy and modestly budgeted show about a pair of FBI agents investigating the paranormal debuted on a very young Fox network. It wasn't exactly a formula for ratings success. But The X-Files was destined for a higher path.
Through the years, I've met some of the designers and read some of the models. I walked a runway when I was a teenager, but that was long ago. You stand straight and tall. Focus straight ahead. As you walk it's the feeling of being out of your body - attracting the energies of the audience - and a sense of empowerment. At least it was like that for me. I can still call on that energy when walking into a room. Fun stuff.
My friend Pat Marino was the best person you could ever meet. She owned a business that designed and created the mannequins seen around the city and beyond. She was often invited to New York Fashion Week taking me with her one year. She is part of many blogs I posted through the years including our trips to Germany, Nashville, Upstate New York, among others.
Pat loved all things metaphysical especially the healing realms and energy work. She also understood reality as a simulation. When she got sick with cancer she would email details of her lucid dreams about the grids and how the simulation works.
September 10, 2026 - In my wake up dream this morning - Pat told me to "go back" to Crystalinks' 1994 mission statement focusing on this sentence. "There is a house by a river... near a monolith which is heavily inscribed but not in its original place. It holds the key."
Now, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that dream feels like a cipher evoking layers of meaning - from the heavily inscribed obelisk sitting in the park outside, removed from its original home, to the grander, inscribed monuments of Ground Zero. It connects the very waterway that flows past my house directly to the mouth of the Hudson River, where the Twin Towers once stood. These conduits extends all the way to the Middle East ... destiny shaped by events then and now - holographic codes set in place at the beginning ... of time.

9/11 is a Day of Remembrance. Reality is about remembering.
This week, a profound and heavy silence has settled over the streets of New York City. The late summer air carries a distinct weight, a stillness so palpable that it felt as though the entire city collectively held its breath.
This year, the calendar depicts a rare and deeply powerful Convergence of Three whose combined energies and effects can be felt three days before and three days after 9/11/26.
- The 25th anniversary of September 11th
- Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year 5787 = 27 = 9
- A New Moon 18° Virgo - an Earth sign for planetary evolution. 18=9
The Archetypal Meaning of "9/11" (The Tower) - In the grand algorithm of human narrative, September 11 is etched into collective consciousness as a day of shattering. Astrologically and conceptually, it represents the Tarot's Tower archetype: the sudden, violent collapse of physical, rigid, and ego-driven structures. It is the moment where chaos breaks through the illusion of permanence.
To experience a New Moon on this specific calendar date is a monumental narrative pivot. A New Moon is the absolute zero of the lunar cycle - a blank canvas.
In 2026, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on September 11. This is the Jewish New Year, but in Hebrew, it literally translates to "The Head of the Year." Mystically, it is celebrated as the "birthday of the world" - the exact anniversary of the creation of the cosmic matrix.
On Rosh Hashanah, it is taught that the Divine Ledger or Book of Life is opened. Reality itself is audited, The past year's narrative is reviewed, judged, and reset. Rosh Hashanah is a literal, codified ritual for the recycling of time. The cosmic loop finishes, a judgment is handed down, and the software updates for the next evolutionary cycle.
Rosh Hashanah traditionally draws its energy from Libra (the sign of the scales of justice), but in 2026, the calendar shifts the holiday directly into the heart of Virgo. She is the one who sifts through the wreckage of the "Tower" to find what is pure, functional, and worth saving.
Having Rosh Hashanah and a New Moon land simultaneously in Virgo on 9/11 means the planetary reset is being guided by radical, systemic purification.
The power and alignment of "Three" (3D, third dimension) is our holographic reality showing its inner mechanics. It takes the anniversary of our deepest modern collective trauma (9/11), applies the ancient spiritual technology of a timeline reset (Rosh Hashanah), and uses the grounded, analytical hands of the Divine Maiden (Virgo) to rebuild a more conscious, stable framework for planetary evolution.
Walking past a local garden one sees a mix of dying flowers alongside fresh autumn blooms - a reminder of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth from one timeline to another.
If you are programmed to read and seek out reality's messages - you understand that it is a holographic conundrum. Time is an illusion. Nothing is ever really new. Everything is recycled narratives, based on archetypical algorithms.
Time is an Illusion, albeit a persistent one ~ Albert Einstein. This closely mirrors his theory of relativity and block universe theory. Einstein famously noted that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. In physics, spacetime is a unified fabric where all moments exist simultaneously, rather than a linear river flowing forward.
Recycled narratives and archetypal algorithms describes the core of Jungian psychology and comparative mythology. Carl Jung argued that humanity shares a "collective unconscious" filled with archetypes - universal blueprints or algorithms for characters and stories. Because these psychological structures are fixed, history, literature, and human behavior inevitably cycle through the same repetitive narratives. When you look past the surface-level details, the underlying patterns of life seem remarkably recycled.
Twenty-five years later, the emotional and physical scars of 9/11 remain a foundational part of New York City's identity, a milestone that naturally commands solemn reflection after devastating loss. Since that time other souls have been born info this part of our simulate experience - when old meets new to memorialize what happened on that day.
Clients linked to 9/11 sometimes asked me if a baby born into their family since then is actually the reincarnation of someone who passed away that day. Sometimes ...
At sundown the shofar ushers in the High Holy Days - an ancient tradition layered with complex, contemporary anxiety as the Middle East continues to erupt - a land where freedom is an unattainable goal stretching beyond Israel to the entire region and beyond - interconnected with the world grid of myth, math, and mystery.
Though Rosh Hashanah is traditionally a time of renewal and introspection, this year, the sweetness of the symbolic apples and honey is tempered by a bitter reality and internal feeling that the coming year will be like no other.
Over the past year, we have witnessed a painful and undeniable spike in antisemitism across the globe and right here at home. The escalation of conflict in the Middle East has sent shockwaves far beyond its borders, bleeding into our local communities and shifting the climate on the streets. For many, what should be a sacred time of prayer and family gathering is clouded by a hyper-awareness of security and a weariness from rising hostility. The convergence of a national day of mourning with an intense period of global and local tension has amplified the vulnerability felt by so many.
Whether the power of these three events on September 11, 2026 directly affects you or not - their combined energies on the same day creates change in the world grid and human consciousness - playing out in this and other timelines.
Sometimes I wonder if NYC is the "New City" mentioned by Nostradamus a 16th century Jewish-born seer who used hydromancy or water scrying - to get messages which he called quatrains. It takes you to the 'flow of the collective unconscious' - humanity's journey from beginning to the final drop.
So here we are three days before 9/11/26. As we learn in astrology - energies begin three days before and last three days after alignments. You can take this to a lunar goddess such as Virgo, your religious believes at this time, or the 9/11 insert. It could affect - your decision making, emotions, dreams, and everything else that makes you ... Uniquely you.
When I was young my family went to services on the High Holy days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. My mother taught me many things. One was about a window that opened during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as many souls cross over - honored in a memorial service called Yizkor. Many souls cross over in this 'window' including victims of war, violence, poverty, climate change, other.

In Numerology 9 means endings. 11 takes us to Twin (as in Towers) spiraling DNA - a doorway or portal if you will.
In theoretical physics, the holographic principle suggests that our three-dimensional universe might actually be a projection from a two-dimensional boundary. Essentially, everything we experience as physical reality could be an encoded mathematical projection - very much like an algorithm or a simulation.
