SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

Our prayers are with the families of the Columbia Space Shuttle Astronauts who lost their lives on February 1, 2003 in the heavens over America.

Sangeet Kaur Khalsa looked into the Starcode of Destiny(tm) for each of the seven astronauts and found that each one was very special and that their destinies were very much connected.

Sangeet also looked into the Starcodes(TM) of the countries and their leaders that were involved (US, Israel, and India). Her insights are stunning and will be posted here later this week.

A Tribute to Seven Heroic Souls
By Sangeet Kaur Khalsa

What does it take to ride a rocket into space? What kind of souls were the magnificent seven who realized their dreams aboard the Columbia Space Shuttle and then perished on February 1, 2003?

Here’s a brief thumbnail of each one, using the insightful keys of the Starcode of Destiny(TM) system.

Mission Commander Rick Husband
(b. July 12, 1957) – Rick was a man of strong spiritual values, whose courage and ease of laughter were equally proven.

Overcoming a natural shyness, he was always quick to befriend someone and put others at their ease, wanting very much to give and to help. Few could match his ideals and zeal. He was born to return to the stars. His soul’s destiny was to set the highest example of sacrifice.

Rick perished in the year of renewed spiritual strength in his life when his soul felt a deep connection for “Home”; he left this life on the month and the day in which there was a possible exit written for him known as “the hero’s death by fire.”

The Crew Representing the United States

Pilot William McCool
(b. Sept. 23, 1961) – William was a powerful force of a man who could make you laugh while quietly working his way.

A visionary who came to master the karma of the mind and learn how to let go gracefully with gratitude. He was occasionally obstinate and stubborn, but also the most loyal of comrades and always willing to forgive.

William left in a year for high adventure and true pioneering, on the month and the day when the angels were there for him.

Mission Specialist Michael Anderson
(b. Dec. 25, 1959) – Michael was a highly creative spirit, he also brought the gift of laughter which also helped to release occasional moodiness.

No one could help but to like him. He was a team player and yet also a deeply focused man on a mission. His words touched others and made things seem brighter when times were tough. He came to show us the face of true nobility as well as humility.

Michael left in the year of the soul’s longing to find Home, on the month and day when he left at his full power as a man.

Mission Specialist David Brown
(b. April 16, 1956) – David came to be heard in this lifetime with an undefeatable spirit and wisdom.

Although he was a man of deep spiritual values, he was more at home with computers, logic and science. He could ponder over decisions deeply so that when he spoke others listened.

David was not aware of the power of what he said, but others were. He left in the year of great mental challenges when it is necessary to face all of one’s doubts and trust in God and your own goodness. It is the same cycle the U.S. is in this year.

David's month and the day of passing marked the ending of the old way, and the beginning of a new way, a new life.

Mission Specialist Laurel Clark
(b. March 10, 1961) – Laurel was a model of laughter and courage, of service and caring as well as occasional obstinacy when she felt it necessary to stand her ground.

Few could deny her gentle power or her smile. She was her own best offense and defense. She never totally tapped into her full power of leadership, but her goodness flowed unhindered to many.

Laurel came to be a little angel. She left in a year of self-mastery, on a month and day for letting go to God.

The Crew Representing US / India

Flight Engineer Kalpana Chawla
(b. July 1, 1961) – A woman of unwavering values, Kalpana overcame her shyness when it was important to speak out for something she believed in.

She was not afraid to stand alone, and she approached everything with focus and determination. She chose a career of engineering and science to tap into her strength.

Kalpana's voice was beautiful, with music to it that could charm the angels, but she rarely thought it so. She was wise beyond her years.

Kalpana was born to reach up into the skies, to fly high where few had gone before. This year she came to know her true self of independence. She passed on a month and day when the doorway opened for one magnificent shooting star to return Home.

The Crew Representing Israel

Mission Specialist Ilan Ramon
(b. June 20, 1954) – Ilan was a true heart-based lover, a man happiest at home in a sweet partnership, but whose karma and destiny propelled him to defend his home.

Everyone who met him loved being in his presence. He had a truly healing soul. Some may have thought him shy, but it was only that at times he did not fully believe in himself.

This was more than balanced by his strong belief in the values of right living and connection to God. He was wise and funny, lighthearted and powerfully spoken.

Ilan was in the same cycle this year as his crew mate from India. He left Earth at a time when his words would touch many, and on a month and day when he had finally found the way Home.
