Greetings, everyONE

I got my copy of Shirley MacLaine's new book today and am so excited I had to tell everyONE. I am already on chapter 7, and can hardly put it down. I won't say anything about it, so that I won't spoil it for anyone, but I will say that she is talking about a lot of the same things that we are talking about here in Lindaland. Nothing like a good shot of Shirley to make you feel good all over!

By the way, I found a website that already has the book in stock and has it at a great discount. Just go to:

http://asamee.bizland.com

I realize it is a bit early to be discussing the book, but it is never too early to talk about Shirley, so I thought I'd start a thread.

I mentioned it earlier, but no one came up with anything, so I'll throw this out again: Does anyone know if Shirley and Linda ever met? Oh Gregory! You wouldn't know, would you? Dale, have you ever met Shirley? I am not sure why I ask, but you live close to her and are involved with some Hollywood celebs, so who knows?

Back to the book...
White Feather

Dear White Feather,

I should be used to it by now, but you blow me away. I mean you really do!

Yes, I met Shirley MacLaine, it may have been around 1964, when we were both picking out books for our daughters in Vroman's, a Pasadena bookstore, in California. She struck me as a beautiful person, very fair skinned and very tall. She was very quiet and subdued. Our daughters are the same age. Her daughter's name is Sachi. I had my daughter, Jamie, and my son, Mark, with me, but her daughter was living in Japan with her father Steve.

It was an interesting time in the book business then, because this major bookstore had just opened a quality paperback department and we were picking out Fairy Tale books. You may know the series, The Red Book of Fairy Tales, and so on through the colors. I think I also got The Brownies: Their Book. You notice even the metaphysical connotations back then.

White Feather!!! I just finished reading The Camino last night. I read the book in two days. I am just FLOORED by all she wrote about (and yet not so floored). I'm so excited to see someone else excited about it.
Having read all her other books, I am SO grateful she wrote about all she did. Especially in this book. It is obvious from the book that she spent much time debating whether or not to include certain things.

My very best to you and all,
Nadir

This sounds like her best one yet.

I sent a reply back to you yesterday. Did you get it? Please let me know if you did not and I'll try to find out why. Thanks

Greetings, everyONE!

Well, I finished Shirley's new book earlier today, and I've been walking around in a daze ever since. What a fantastic experience her book was! I will be savoring it for quite a while.

I was amazed at how she continually covered topics that we have discussed here in Lindaland. I am now convinced that she is an Asamee soul.

I thought of Pat several times while reading the book. Pat (and several other knowflakes) have said that they just don't have many if any impressions of Atlantis, that her affinity was always with Lemuria. Well, Shirley said pretty much the same thing, and showed us why.

Earlier, we were talking about crystal skulls on these threads, but we never came to a conclusion as to exactly what they were used for. Shirley tells us.

There was a paragraph in the book that sounded eerily similar to a post Donna had made concerning crystals in Atlantis.

Oddly, Shirley never once mentioned Whooping Cranes in her book. Tee hee.

I finished the book hours ago, but I just can't get it out of my mind. I have a feeling I'll be dreaming about it tonight.

My mind is all a-jumbled. Too much information in such a short time.

Thank you Shirley!
White Feather

Dear White Feather and AllONE,

Immediately after I read your post this evening, I decided to search for Shirley MacLaine on the internet. You will love this! What came up was a new site.

Shirley MacLaine has started a site to coincide with the new book's release. It covers all of the things she talks about in her books, i.e. sacred sites, astrology, numerology and so on. Check it out, I think you will all be pleased. The link is
www.shirleymaclaine.com

Lovingly,
Dolphin2

Hello All ONE

I cannot wait to get that book!! I have all of Shirley's books.

DaleLouise I went to the site you posted and really enjoyed it. Thanks.

Donna

WhiteFeather,
When I finished her book a few days ago, I too was star-struck!! Isn't it AMAZING??? And you are quite right - what she talks about has been talked about here in various threads for some time now.
I'm so glad you got the chance to read it.

Best,
Nadir

Greetings, everyONE!

And I'm still in a daze from reading it today!

Nadir, remember how Shirley was talking about mangoes in the section on Lemuria? Well, that really struck me because about 3 or 4 months ago I starting eating them on a regular basis. I'm not sure why, but I got a strong craving for one one day, and I got a really good and juicy one at the store that I liked so much that I've been eating 2 or 3 or 4 a week ever since. My family has been wondering why I turned into a mango freak, and so was I, but now thanks to Shirley I think I might know why. And I certainly feel better about it!

White Feather

Thanks Dale for the Shirley website url!

I really like the name of that on-line metaphysical bookstore, too. I don't want to break the rules here in Lindaland, so I will have to email you in private about what I found out about how they got the name Asamee.

Love and joy,
White Feather

Hi White Feather,

I am intrigued by the mango reference. I started using mango juice in my fasting about 20 years ago. And I buy fresh mangos at least every other week, because I like them so much. They seem to have more nutrients than other fruits, besides tasting so good. I must read the book to see what else is going on.

These threads continue to be a lot of fun.

Love and Laughter,

Dolphin2

Hi EveryONE!

I must tell you that White Feather had me going this morning with the mangoes, so after four hours on the internet, answering e-mail, I just had to go get some mangoes. They were on sale five for a dollar. I couldn't believe it. And all the mango juices were on sale, too. I know this is silly, but it is still fun. I can't wait to read the book and find out why you brought up mangoes.

Love and more Laughter,
Dolphin2

AAAHHH! Mangos!!!

Okay, this is just hilarious. After reading Shirley's mango reference, I constantly starting seeing references to mangos. The author, SARK, whom I love says always to eat mangos and to "lick the juice from your arms". Heheh. But really, I kept seeing references after reading Shirley. So a day after I read it, I was at the grocery store and I found mangos for a dollor too!!!! So I bought one and I called all my friends and left messages on their answering machines saying, "hello, it's me, how do you eat a mango?"

Well, I ate it and it was soooo yummy.

By the way, at that same shopping excursion I also bought a beautiful pink Gerber daisy for mys-elf. A crazy daisy like Linda liked.

Love
Nadir

Greetings, everyONE!

Five for a dollar! Goodness, gracious, I am paying $1.09 each for mangoes here in Colorado! I guess there really are some good things about living in California....

Actually, the abundance of fruit is something that I always liked about California (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way). I lived there briefly in the early Eighties, and one of my fondest memories was being able to step out onto the balcony of my apartment and pick fresh lemons off the tree that grew right by my balcony. I shopped at a local organic farmer's market on a regular basis while living there. It was wonderful! Southern California is a fruitarian's delight.

Now that the subject of California has been thoroughly established, allow me to go deeper.

For years now, Pat has been telling me that the West Coast is the seat of Lemurian influence, and the East Coast is the seat of Atlantean influence. It has taken me quite a while to be convinced of that. Having lived on both coasts, I argued that I saw a lot of the same influences on both coasts. (And what about Seattle! Seattle is the reincarnation of Alta, the capital of Atlantis, and is more Atlantean than perhaps any other city. It's nickname, The Emerald City, is even the same as Alta.) And if the West Coast is Lemurian and the East Coast is Atlantean, then what the heck was the middle of the country? And where is the demarcation between the two influences?

And Pat, in her infinite wisdom, replied, "The demarcation, silly, is where you and I live! The Rocky Mountains of Northern New Mexico and Colorado! More specifically, the Sangre de Christo Mountains!" Pat lives in the southern part of the Sangre de Christos, but on the western slope (the Lemurian side). I live at the very tippy top northern end of the Sangre de Christo, neither on the western side or the eastern side, but rather straddling the fence so to speak. These little geographic idiosyncracies explain any differences that there are between myself and Pat.

These geographic idiosyncracies also have got me spiralling off into another tangent...

Let us take a little look at three women. These are three women that all of us here in Lindaland love deeply: Linda Goodman, Shirley MacLaine, and our own beloved Pat. Let's look at their lives from a geographic standpoint.....

Linda Goodman, as we all know, lived in Southern California, but for spiritual reasons moved to the Rocky Mountains, living just north, but slightly east, of the Sangre de Christo Mountains.

Shirley Maclaine lived in Southern California for a good part of her life, and , although she still has her beach house in Malibu, she now splits her time between there and her ranch near Abiqui, New Mexico (which is about a hundred miles west of Pat, and on the western side of the Sangre de Christo).

Pat, in case you didn't know it, used to live in Southern California. She raised a family there and lived the 'Southern Californian' life, until one day she left and ended up in Taos, New Mexico on the western slope of the Sangre de Christo Mountains.

After reading Shirley's book, and listening to her talk about Lemuria and Atlantis, and how there was never any balance between the two, and after listening to Pat for the last five years, I can't help but wonder if the Sangre de Christo Mountain region is the place to find that balance.

I can't wait for Pat to come back and fill in some blanks.

Now that I think of it, I, too, lived in Southern California (although not as long as these women), then headed east to the Sangre de Christo Mountains of New Mexico (and eventually moved north to Colorado).
Is there really something about our geographic meanderings that helps lead us through our lessons and bring us balance? I certainly think so.

Lemuria was all about spirit and Atlantis was all about technology.

WE DEFINITELY NEED A BALANCE!

White Feather

WhiteFeather,

Oh yes oh yes, I so agree with you. I have always been called to Colorado. In fact, I'm going there shortly for a visit. The "Blood of Christ" mountains certainly do resonate the way you say. It all makes such sense.

A friend of mine told me that in the urban parts of Colorado (such as Denver and its suburbs) a lot of bad spiritual vibes were going on (need I mention Columbine) but that it would be transforming soon. I wonder what that has to do with everything.

I think geographical location is extremely important. I live in a metropolitan city in the midwest and am NOT HAPPY AT ALL here. I need to move and I will in a year when I have things worked out so that I can. Eventually, further on in my life, I am going to end up in Colorado. Back with the pack, so to speak.

I also think that depression has a lot to do with where you are living. If your spirit does not resonate with where you live, you will be unhappy and probably indescribably depressed. this happened to me and IS still happening to me but now I know the reason and have made plans to one day move, I feel better.

Much love,
Nadir

Yes Whitefeather.

Balance is the key. All-ways.

A very enlightening post.

Peace, Love & Light,
SeaJ
p.s. I can't wait to read Shirley's new book!

Nadir,

Have a happy & safe journey to Colorado.
I'm sending White Light to help you get there.

Peace,
SeaJ

Isn't this fun, Nadir?

You have gotten me to think more about mangoes, so I will hereby pluck some mango memories from the life-giving vine of memory...

I do not consider myself overall to have been a deprived child, but there are a few facets of life that I did not experience until I was an adult. One of these facets was international cuisine. My diet as a child was completely controlled by my mother, who believed that any recipe that did not hail from central Europe was heathen and pedestrian. My mother is a devout atheist, and she was a loyal bonafide registered member of the Nazi Party. (Hey! I still love her!) But I never had Chinese food until I was 16 years old! I was 15 years old when I had my first pizza, for crying out loud! (My mother refused to cook Wop food.) If it wasn't good Germanic Aryan food, they I didn't taste it until I was at least 15 years old! I grew up on the U.S.-Mexico border, and I didn't have my first Chile Relleno until I was 16! I didn't even eat at McDonalds until I was 14! Anyway, the upshot of all this is that I didn't have my first mango until I was in my early Twenties....

And then when I was finally handed a mango for the first time in my life, my first reactions was....

"How the hell do I eat this?"

You can see now how Nadir's post brought this back to me.

Anyway, the first time I ever ate a mango, I was in my early Twenties, and I had just had sex. (I will be gentle here. I know this isn't a sex forum, but I can't leave the sex out because mangoes are tied to gender, as you will soon see.)

Let me say that this was a long time ago, in my pre-Bingo Pajamas days. I was dating an older woman who was very much into art and theatre. (And mangoes.) When I asked her why she liked mangoes so much, she said, "The mango is the very perfect fruit to paint. It has all the colors of all the fruits, and it has the shapes and contours of all the fruits, so it is like every fruit rolled into one. Every great painting of fruit had a mango in it because the mango is what brings balance to everything else." Back then, I didn't know what the heck she was talking about, and I wonder if even she did, but now I understand.

The foods we eat are vibrations. Every fruit that Mother Nature provides us with creates a balance among certains aspects of our own vibrations. Carrots balance the vibrations of our livers and eyes. Tomatoes help balance the vibrations of our heart centers. Cabbage helps balance the vibrations of our colons. Bananas help balance the vibrations of our muscles. Walnuts help balance the vibrations of our brains. Etc, etc. So what do mangoes balance? They help balance our yin and yang! They help balance the male and female aspects which we are all made of.

There is an ancient science called signature foods. This science tells us that we can tell what a natural food is good for by looking for its 'signature'. If you cut a carrot, the lines in the slice look like eyes, so the carrot is good for the eyes. The tomato looks like a heart, so it is good for the heart. A kidney bean looks like a kidney, so it is good for the kidneys. Etc. A walnut has a hard skull, and when you crack open that skull, you see a convaluted meat that not only looks like a brain, but is divided into two hemispheres just like a brain, so walnuts are good for the brain. Etc. Etc.

So what does a mango look like? My own opinion is that it looks just a little like an undeveloped fetus, which is the result of the coming together of the yin and the yang. It's color is orange, which is the color of the creative sexual chakra. It is a fruit that has not let go of its seed. It contains all the colors and shapes and contours--in other words, all the possibilites and potentials. Its aroma and taste have been described by the great novelist Tom Robbins in blatantly sexual ways.

And now Shirley MacLaine has described the mango as the fruit of Lemuria, the fruit of balance, the fruit of harmony between yin and yang...

You know, there is ample medical information that suggests that mangoes go a long way in healing 'female' problems. But what are female problems other than an imbalance of male and female energies within the body? What are 'male' problems other than an imbalance of male and female energies within the body? Maybe we should all be eating mangoes!

Uh-oh, I think the price of mangoes is going to go even higher!

Fruits and vegetables,
White Feather

Hi Nadir,

I've lived in Colorado for just about eight years now, and I've only been to Denver three times in my entire life. Once, I went to go to a Rockies game and the zoo. The second time was when we took our daughter to the spooky spooky Denver International Airport to catch a plain to Texas. The third time was when I went to pick up my daughter from the spooky spooky Denver International Airport as she returned from her trip to Texas where she saw her very first dolphin. Anyway...

The first 29 years of my life I lived in big huge metropolitan cities. I could not have imagined living in any other environment. Since then (I was 29 when my dolphin daughter was born), I have only lived in the country or in small towns with a population of 5,000 or less. And I have avoided cities like the plague. I'm an Aries, so I experience things in the extreme. Not until I have ridden the pendulum to both extremes can I find balance in the middle.

Anyway, we do in fact choose our environments to match our lessons. It's like high school. We get to pick our own classrooms. And even if we don't like all our classes, we do invariably learn a little something from each class. Sometimes we are eager to get to the next class, but we just have to wait until the current class is over.

Timing is everything,
White Feather

Nadir..I found your post about Denver very interesting..Ive heard the same from someone about "vibes" in that area.(and it's not just Columbine)..but he DID move back there..so maybe its over now.

Hi White Feather,

I loved what you wrote about mangoes. I didn't know any of that. Nor did I know about the signature foods. It is so easy to see what you are talking about. Since a lot of us know what vitamins and minerals are in each of the examples you gave, it makes even more sense as deficiencies in these would cause problems in the organs you mentioned.

There is one thing I want to say about the airport in Denver. I haven't been there, but from what David Icke wrote about it, it sounds more than spooky. I wouldn't even want to describe it in detail, as it would be a downer. Very strange to hear of this in this country at this time.

There is one other thing I learned and never found out why it happened. The City attorney for the City I worked for here in California moved to Fort Collins with his family a few years ago for an even better job. He had started building a house there and all of a sudden he was back here and we were never told why he didn't like it there. Has anyone heard anything about Fort Collins?

I sometimes think the vibrations are much more important than the astrological location, but maybe it has to be a combination of both to get a right fit.

Happy Landings EveryONE Wherever You Go,
Dolphin2

Hi Dale,

I know what David Icke has said about DIA (Denver International Airport), and I acknowledge that a lot of it is probably true, but I think some of it is a bit exaggerated. (My opinion is that Icke's work is extremely fear-based.) There is no denying the spooky quality of the airport, though. My daughter missed her flight back from Texas and had to take a later flight, so I got to spend 5 hours at DIA waiting for her. I pretty much walked every bit of that airport that was open to the public. The place is very much like a little encapsulated city, and I could see how it could easily and instantly be turned into a detention center. What really freaked me out was the artwork scattered throughout the airport. It was very moribund and apocalyptic. And the style used to decorate the place was Native American! Everything about the place reinforced the ideas of power and control over people.

After about four hours there, I could feel that my vibrations had greatly deteriorated. Then it started raining. I went outside under the eaves of a roof and watched the rain and an incredible display of lightning. After a half-hour of reconnecting, I was rejuvenated.

I am not sure if Ft. Collins has any different vibes than any of the Front Range cities. The Denver area is quickly becoming another Los Angeles, with one city after another after another, with only imaginary lines separating them. A lot of people who are fear-based have moved to the Denver area because it has been designated a 'safe place'. Of course all those people brought their fear with them. Also, a lot of the people who haved moved there in recent years only stay in the cities a few years before they move to outlying areas. (This, of course, can be viewed as the disease spreading.)

Several mountain ranges and a three hour drive separates me from this urban cauldron. I rarely even think about it. I live in a place where people never lock their cars or their homes. The biggest area of crime around here is teenage bicycle theft, and there isn't a whole lot of that. Everyone is friendly and everyone is late for their appointments because they are all on slow-moving country time. People aren't stressed out and there are no freeways, traffic jams, or traffic noise. We have maybe one or two murders a decade. The cops are friendly and you know all their names. Our mayor scoots around town in his wheelchair without bodyguards, and if you see him, you can say howdy and speak your mind. When you shop at Safeway for mangoes, you talk with all the other shoppers because you know most of them. I could go on and on, but I'm afraid if I do then people will start wanting to move here....

White Feather

Hiya Folks... White Feather and Dale Louise... thank you! I didn't know Shirley had written another book, but as I have all she ever wrote (I believe) I will rush out and buy this one too...

I also just visited her website, which is pretty amazing too...

I'm just off to see what is on it, actually, so will be back here later... love and light to all... Sunjewel

Hello all!! I love the way these conversations just spiral and spiral.... Thanks for the info on Shirley's new book, can't wait to read it. My only experience with Denver International was a negative one. I was returning from California with a stop in Denver. My flight was delayed, it was in the evening during winter, my slight cold rapidly got worse, it was miserable!! Was so glad when my plane finally took off - even though there was no heat on the plane and my suffering was not quite yet over. I've always been drawn to Colorado, even though I've still never been there. Once wrote to Linda that I just must visit a place that has my name in it!!

Am I missing something at the Shirley website..or is it brand new? There isnt much to read yet..no links etc???just wondering if it loaded right at my end.
