Somewhere...in a land far far away I read some things about Linda's life. It was said that 24 hours a day/ 7 days a weeks in her home she left every light on. Even at night...I was wondering if anyone knew why she did this. Her friends said that they had to get used to it when they slept over. Was she afraid of the dark...was the dark trying to put out her bright light and that was one way she fought back?

I've known only a few people during my short chronological 24 year life span who have slept with the light on. I know I have to sleep with the t.v. on and some sort of light in the house. Maybe it's an Aries thing, I don't know, I just don't like feeling like I'm alone. I need some sort of noise or something around me. Maybe that's why Linda did it, our infant Aries selves seem to need some sort of night light :-) IP: Logged |

Could be...I know I have to have the ceiling fan running to be able to sleep...for the "white" noise..It's a booger in the winter, but the electric blanket and "herd" of cats surrounding me help...  ------------------

I need the white noise (fan) also. Linda always felt so alone. In the end, she felt that she only had a few close friends. It's ironic, because she was and is adored by millions. She was anything but alone. Perhaps, it is a Ram thing.  ------------------

Maybe it is a Ram thing, or more importantly a human thing. I don't know whether it's being a Ram, or being a human being...but I have the need to be understood. Not in words, but soul-wise. Maybe Linda felt that even though millions adored her, she didn't know whether they really knew if they got what she was all about. She didn't have the chance to look at us all in the eyes, spend time with us, to know if we actually were with her. It has to do with self-doubt. Somewhere in her, she may have feared that no matter how much she wrote about it, talked about it, or tried to describe what she knew and felt to other people, they just wouldn't get it. And she wanted others to be able to know, and share, very badly. It always seems that those special people in this world who wanted to be a friend to everyone, and teach others to understand one another wind up with only a few close friends at the end of their life. Not to mention, dear Linda from what you said Randall, towards the end of her life as "Linda Goodman" was confronted with what must have been one of the biggest knocks to her faith...the fact that she was physically ill, and she couldn't heal herself. Oh, Linda. IP: Logged |

I have heard that Linda stopped believing in everything she wrote towards the end of her Life. I heard that she was also almost bankrupt. Crystal helped her with her finances. I think Linda may have thought that Crystal was her only true friend. (And Crystal WAS a good friend.) Linda's deep sadness at the end reMINDs me of Jesus' last words,"Father, why hast thou forsaken me?" Oh, Linda...  ------------------

There is nothing more tragic than a Ram having to question their beliefs or faith in tomorrow  her horns must have been pretty banged up, by whatever happened at the time. That makes me so sad. Maybe she just got to the point that she was overloaded in some way. I hope she did have some sort of faith underneath everything, even if she felt sometimes like shouting, "I don't know what to believe anymore!" IP: Logged |

I don't think she really understood how adored she was, because she probably felt that many of us only associated her with her pop astrology books. She didn't even want to write them (as good as they were), but publishers insisted, and if she wanted to make a name for her S-elf, she had to do it in pop astrology. It really hurt her when publishers denied her labor of Love (her book Gooberz) and demanded that she cut down the size substantially. ------------------

That had to be hurtful. I'm glad though that Gooberz did get published...I think the universe would have been pretty discontent if it wasn't published  I don't know what path I'd be on if her books weren't out there, they've helped me understand so much. IP: Logged |

In some parallel Uni-verses Gooberz may never have been published. But in others, Linda is still around (and so is Twelfth Night Secrets). I want to SLIDE into One of those! ------------------

Just an educated guess, since it was Gooberz that seeded my bond with Linda, without which, I would not have had the motivation to risk the creation of this site.  ------------------

I hope so! If I could control sliding, I would travel to each world and teach that world's Randall to start a similar site, and have him run it.  ------------------

Ok now you guys might think I am silly but....there is only one time that I recall in my life that I had to sleep with the light on....this was when i was tripping. I know you are saying well why were you trying to sleep while you were tripping ~thats another story~ but the reality is that when I turned off the lights it was too busy. I know you are saying well your eyes are closed. I cant explain it. Maybe her head was too busy with stuff....and turning off the light made her feel to confined. It's just a thought. I myself can not sleep with the lights on normally and I like to have a fan on for the white noise.

I usually sleep with the light on. When I am home alone, I turn on EVERY light in the house, even those rooms where I do not go. This is my shame, as an environmentalist

I used to love sleeping in a totally dark room, but here lately have been using nite lites everywhere. I wonder if maybe it has something to do with the change in energy, and we are having to use as much LITE as possible? Randall...I can just imagine you doing that Soma...I understand. Back in the 'old' days there were times (I was a 60's child after all)...And now sometimes when I have had too much coffee late at night my brain buzzes around and it's like I see bright sparkles behind my eyes and can't sleep. And it did get worse in the dark. A lite helped. I wonder why? ------------------

I think Linda had the lights on always because of her "Time" troubles. She said that Time "was not her friend", had issues with Saturn (Old Father Time) and so on. It is also connected to Set's murder of Osiris, and the creation of the first Sunset. Before this happened, Linda believed, the Sun shone all the time, because there were two Suns (there is scientific evidence that this was once true btw). By keeping the lights on 24 hours a day, Linda was affirming her faith that this ideal state would one day return to our planet. I don't think fear of the dark was part of it, otherwise she would have only needed the light on in the room she was in, not all the rooms in the house at once. But this is just my thoughts ... maybe only Linda herself knew why. IP: Logged |

Interesting thoughts, Pisces Moon! You may have something there.  Soma, I also sleep with the fan on year 'round.  ------------------
