Lupa writes on Projecting Your Reality – Global Threat
“Trying to get us to focus on the point you’re actually trying to make is like herding cats isn’t it? Or maybe shiny chickens.”
Lupa – thanks. It’s such a struggle to communicate on this blog, . I don’t know how I do it. Or how I continue to so successfully fail to do it, I mean.
I am the most successful failure you’ll ever meet in your life but never mind that. This is for the old timers… and the new timers too, who want to get on board.
Most of you know I’ve been writing online for years and when I first started telling stories no one believed a word I said. Not that I knew that, I had no idea and when I found out I was pretty damned tweaked. Then the strangest thing started to happen. I would be writing about someone, blah, blah, blah and then they’d show up.
The first time, I actually called on Scott. I had not talked to him for 13 years and I wrote on my blog, “Ollie, Ollie, In Come Free!” to Scott and by God, he contacted me about 3 days later.
He told me he had been looking for me for 10 years and had just located me via… never mind how.
Now I am very visible now but I was very hidden for a number of years and if you want to know why, just watch that last video but anyway – Scott showed up.
I’d written about him quite a bit and he delighted everyone by writing the same stories I did but from his perspective (he is hysterically funny) and this was the beginning of my gaining some credibility. I mean I’d written about, “The Pianist” which is what I called him and then here is was.
This continued to happen over the years. The first time I mentioned the soldier on my blog was in 2001, I called him “Top Secret” which he was when I knew him. I thought he was dead at the time – I was sure of it. We were not in contact until 2003 but as you can he is also real and there have been others show up to validate my authenticity.
People still question me (and I still get tweaked) but there many who can vouch for me by now and there have been times I have asked them to do exactly that:
So the person who has popped up now is my sister who I have written about pretty extensively over the years and I pulled up the video today so she could see me talking about our experience.
Of course I’d not have been able to do that if I were lying but I am not lying.
I may have tried to run the FBI but it was her who stripped down and had a microphone taped to her body to record people. You can’t make this stuff up, see?
In whatever case, I think this is funny. Most of you know she’s a Pisces with the same chart as mine – Cap rising with Neptune on the midheaven. So today she told me my video… well she is surprised by it, my public persona. It’s not real see?
I told her that it was my hologram and that I really wasn’t that skinny and that I told you guys this all the time. She said her husband said that I look like no one else in the family… I told her that I think we all look the same but catch the irony.
It was just a week ago I learned that I look like my son and I am now informed I do not look like my sister who is a mere 2 years older than me and has her ascendant one degree off mine. Does it get any stranger?
In whatever case, she thinks I am candid and on that I suppose we can come to some consensus.
IF you have come to the conclusion I am real, how did you get there?

Maybe it’s naive of me, but I never assumed the Elsa wasn’t real.
Nevermind Neptune, maybe it’s your level of storytelling like here that makes people go “wtf?” Jupiter stuff. Maybe the mercury-in-9th penchant for exaggeration. Here’s A Load Of Information: Good Luck!
I at least used to go around noticing that people never believed me when I was being honest and purely factual, they laughed or they thought I was joking around, and I imagine it has something to do with presentation and the way I say or present things rather than because the topic is/isn’t believable.
Granted, on the flipside, I can lie away and nobody knows the difference. Try not to make a habit of it though, what with everyone’s feelings on geminis.
This may betray my Venus-Neptune, but I never thought you were anything but real. I believe what people tell me! I am never looking for the angle. I have a history of finding “real” people and friends on the Internet, and I may be a dumb rube, but I also may be the type of person who gravitates toward people who are real on the Internet. (I do have Earth Venus.)
Same here as Jessica, I believe what people tell me, and I have a history of meeting nothing but “real” people online. I’ve never thought of you as anything but real, Elsa.
None of my stories are embellished in the least. Matter of fact I under-report as a matter of routine and I mean by a WIDE margin for a bunch of reasons but mostly because I am lazy and the stories get too big (like 1-800-getmeoutofhere) so I start trying to cut them / contain them / make them smaller.
on top of that, I forget half my life there has just been too much and furthermore when I first started writing I had no idea any of this was weird. I had not really been in “town” all that long. I have just have no reference point, I don’t know what else to say. I was born… and as the soldier always points out I am Catholic because I WAS baptized and if there was any question of that my sister sent me the pic.
So that was that but then things took a turn, LOL.
I never doubted your authenticity. I have only met real people on the Internet as well.
I don’t have the time to worry that you’re not. My own Saturn/Neptune doesn’t fuss too much about what is real: what isn’t disappears as my inner (unconscious) world sees fit.
Dora.
Well it seems to me the tide has turned. Somewhere in the last 8 years (or last 2??) I have become credible?
I’m glad.
Heh, it could be because I have a strong 12th house, but I always thought you were real. The first and only time I wondered was when you posted on xanga about someone contacting to ask if things were true. I believe most things are true.
They helped convince me… to a degree, bearing in mind that they’re holograms. 
I figure it doesn’t matter whether you’re telling the facts or not, if you hit on a kind of truth.
I mean, even if you were lying, I’d still be getting good food for thought!
foxxy: “I believe most things are true.”
Haha. Yeah, same here. That helps too. 
I never doubted you…though, as I’ve mentioned before, I have good instinct about people. Plus, I have always felt something of an affinity with you, so that might be it as well.
How did I get there?
LOL, I have a lot a fuckin’ water!
It was an instant thing, I just know.
Haven’t been around for a while but still pop in to catch up. Have never thought you weren’t real or were lying in any way, just intuitiveness i guess, I like the way you speak, shoot from the hip kinda thing which to me usually denotes honesty. You’ve always seemed very real to me and very honest. A crazy life yes but authentic none the less. If it is all BS then you’re very good at it! What i dont get is the people who dont see that..
I was first drawn to elsa’s blog by the eclectic assortment of pics she uses – trinkets, charm bracelets, tops of old tins, old photographs, neon signs etc, etc….well, I love them….the whole blog has a fantastic feel to it, including the subdued gray patterned wallpaper… banners and font choices .. the box with post titles as it moves up and over the visual of the sun/moon … it might have been the artist in elsa that first spoke to me and made me feel a connection/kinship and trust…even before I started reading the posts..…
…. I just discussed this with my eleven yr old …and he said, “well, have you ever noticed the way she swears, I mean how much realer can you get?”
& one more thing, I was reading the responses from the ’07 post on this topic and I agree w/ SaDiablo’s last comment about Patti’s entry (#17) ….that one really rang true to me as well
Well I am fairly new to this board, but honestly, the thought that you were “not real” never occurred to me. And I have no reason I can say for sure why – vibes, intuition, I don’t know. I think, mostly for me, you are not trying to “sell me” anything (and I don’t mean actual stuff), just you say what you say, and it all sounds perfectly true to me. Not sure if that helps, sorry.
All my friends are have always been offbeat–I’m used to people who seem unreal. You’d have to begin talking about being kidnapped by aliens for me to doubt you- but even then, I’d wonder because I’ve been reading/watching stuff about UFOs lately.
I also have a lot of faith in astrology from experiences I’ve had with it–and I get accused of lying about anything that other people don’t understand- like energy, or vibes I get, or being able to guess a sign once in a while. Really pisses me off because shit, if you don’t know something, don’t accuse someone of being fake- just get a book and look it up. Or geez, wake up and be honest for a change.
That’s the main reason you’re more real than most ppl- honesty. Most people don’t even try to pay attention, much less talk about what’s underneath the surface.
reading what you wrote over time made it clear to me. when i first started reading, i knew the stories were good, but you know – you see something on the internet, you don’t know the person writing it. i wasn’t sure at first if it was supposed to be fiction or not. the old blog didn’t say “true stories” back then. it didn’t matter, though, because i knew i was getting something from the reading.
as time went on, the consistency spoke for itself. not just consistency with details, although that’s clearly a perk of telling the truth. but consistency all around. your personal integrity came through.
i don’t remember exactly how long it took me to figure it out, but it wasn’t extended. maybe a month or two? by that time, you had specified they were true stories and I saw a pic from one of them and it snapped into place. “Hey, this chick is for real!” and everything i have seen since backed it up. so i knew.
You wouldn’t still be around if you weren’t real.
because some stories have a resonance of energy to them that fantasies don’t.
i figured that a long time ago…
*shrug* hard to explain. but all the human foibles were writ out exactly the way i’ve seen them in life, and fantasy doesn’t tend to work that way.
ROFL – shiny chickens. I just cannot stop laughing at that image.
Elsa – it never occurred to me that you weren’t real. I never understood why or how you came to that conclusion. But then again I have lots o ‘ 12th and a huge pile of neptune in my chart. My family is crazy – as in they do things that should make the news but thankfully don’t.
I have a bit of that “doesn’t feel real” in my life. I know I started two non-profits but as I look back I sometimes wonder “hey, who did that?” “how did that happen?” and then of course screw my career future by not taking credit for something that is wildly successful – but hey, my dad has that too, huge inventions based upon a single conference paper he gave. My mom, a rock house without any knowledge, etc. etc.
When you say the strange things they aren’t the type of strange things MOST people would choose as a collection of experiences and friends. Like you said “you just can’t make this stuff up” And that is so very true. Reality is the strangest.
I mean most people would make up a story about a wonderful house, foreign travel, beautiful kids, etc. Rarely does someone talk about the pain in their life. It’s not something most people make up unless they have a prey in sight that they are using that information as a lure. What are you luring here? Not much except a community, more thoughts/analysis, and a fair bit of laughter.
You have always been real to me. The guys on wall street are the fakes. 
I don’t know how I know. I just know.

Hi Elsa,
I know you wrote this a year ago, but since I’m a new comer, I wanted to comment.
I found you a couple of months ago when I was googling “Saturn in Libra”. My son was on vacation and I had the luxury of some free time.
I watched all of your videos on youtube, in one sitting — I was hooked from the get-go!
What struck me?
How real you were!
I’ve got an excellent bullshit meter and I can spot sincerity when I see it. I only saw raw honesty in you.
I know we’re talking about you, but if I may say something about myself: I’ve had so many experiences in my life, I feel as though I’ve lived at least a dozen lives.
When I start to get to know someone and I start talking about my life, I have to interrupt myself and tell the person, “I know I must sound like a pathological liar & you’re probrably thinking that no one could have had all of these experiences, but I swear to god, I’m telling the truth.”
The thing is, I only scratch the surface when talking about my life & experiences. I only talk about a small percentage about what I’ve been through.
I get where you’re coming from, is the short of it.
Warm regards,
Pamela
i think that the way you respond to other people with such understanding, compassion & depth shows that you’re real. I always have thought of you as the Saturn figure.. experiences being woven into wisdom and so you help others to see what, based on intuition & experience, the reality of everything. Like the capricorn metaphor of the goat on top of the cliff, who has seen much and thus can tell about it. like others have said, i’ve never doubted your credibility, for a second. what you do is wonderful beyond measure, and a great service to everyone.

Because your stories are sometimes outlandish but always consistent. The details never waver and you publish vast amounts of material. I don’t think it’s humanly possible to maintain that kind of consistency over YEARS but even if it were, there is no pay off really. What would motivate someone to invest the kind of effort it would take to create an entirely false persona and keep it up for all this time I can’t imagine.
Anyway I’m really pretty good at spotting fakes on the internet and I don’t waste any time on them. And there is energy here that is palpable and consistent with the stories. I feel that and have from the first moment I clicked over to your xanga blog.
