Turkey

 

A few days ago I returned from a pretty challenging 2 week trip to Turkey.  It was created and led by Patricia Cori, author and spiritual channel.  She has written about 15 books and has been interviewed on many of the more popular radio shows and podcasts, in addition to leading trips to sacred sites around the world for many years.  After a problematic trip to the sacred sites of Peru in 2015, I had vowed to never go on that kind of trip again.  Nevertheless, I felt confident in choosing this one because of Patricia’s reputation and the itinerary that she created.  I was excited to visit Gobekli Tepe again, and also see the excavations at Karahan Tepe.  I had been to both in 2018.

Unfortunately, things did not proceed as planned.  There were travel delays, missed activities, some very late nights, and unseasonably cold weather with some snow.  The “spiritual” aspect of the trip did not quite materialize.  We had some good hotels, and a few not so good ones.  Food was not a problem, but meals were sporadic and poorly timed.  As the trip progressed, I made a joke about seeing what kind of daily screw up would happen!  And they certainly were daily. 

Clearly Patricia had a lot of problems with time management.  You cannot lead a trip with 24 people without giving some time frame for the daily activities.  So we were running late a lot of the time.  Also, I had never been on a trip where the tour leader chose not to participate in a lot of the group activities.   She left that to our Turkish tour guide, Emre. 

Speaking of Emre, at the end of the trip, we found out that he had appropriated a lot of our money that Patricia had transferred to him that was supposed to be used for prepayment of our hotel rooms, among other things.  For example, upon arrival at our last night’s hotel in Istanbul, we found out that in addition to not having prepaid for our reservation, Emre did not make a  reservation at all.  Luckily, Patricia was able to pay for those rooms out of her own funds so that we were not out on the street.  At that point, Emre dropped us off and promptly left.  So efforts are now underway to recoup some of the stolen funds.    

On the positive side, Turkey is a lovely country with much to offer a visitor.  The people are friendly, the food is good, and the scenery is gorgeous.  They are very fond of their cats, which are outside all over the place.  I have a fascination with very old archaeological sites, of which there are plenty with more being excavated all the time.  It is near the cradle of civilization and where hunter gatherers turned to a more settled agrarian way of life. 

I really enjoyed the fellow travelers on this trip, as we all had much in common, having previously traveled with similar groups to similar spiritual destinations.  It was fun to compare notes on past adventures.  That made the trip worthwhile.  I was happy to revisit special places that I had experienced on a prior trip, but disappointed that visits to new places did not pan out as I had hoped.  Luckily, the trip home went well and was uneventful, which is usually not the case for me.   In the following posts, I will share some of the special places that we visited.

Last Night

I just thought I'd post these photos of last night's sunset.  The first one is from my back yard and the second one is from the street in front of my house.  Enjoy!

Happy Equinox

 

Today, as I write this post, is the actual date for the Vernal Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere.  Last night, I drove up to the Parowan Gap for my usual viewing of the sun setting into the gap at this very sacred location.  As we are currently having a heat wave here in the SW United States, the temps were in the mid 70's when I arrived.  Very pleasant.  Because of the ongoing warm temperatures, there were at least 8 or more campers parked around the area with people taking advantage of the nice weather.  

I never know who I will be encountering when I go out to the gap for equinox or solstice.  Perhaps because I was there a day early, there were no other participants.  I like that as I can tune in without distraction.   As the sun set. I intended that the focused and very powerful rays of the sun penetrate and activate my body.   Below are my photos.

A Magical Happening

Whenever my remote viewing instructor, Paul Smith, runs a Basic CRV class here in Cedar City, I am invited to have lunch or go on a field trip with his students.  This past week, I had lunch with them on Tuesday, and went with them for a very special field trip on Friday.  The theme for Paul’s Friday field trips is to show them what an AI, or an Aesthetic Impact feels like.  In other words, when the viewer feels a strong emotional reaction to a target. 

During the warm weather, he takes his students up to Cedar Breaks National Monument.  During the colder months, he takes them to Kolob Canyon, which is located in the NW part of Zion National Park.  The procedure is to blindfold the students in the car so that they do not see the desired location before getting there.  Upon arrival the class assistants lead the students out of the cars and to a suitable spot where they can have their “wow” moment after the blindfolds are removed.  That never fails to amaze, especially for students who have never been here before.

On Friday, we went to Kolob Canyon.  Here is a photo of where the students got their big reveal.


The road through Kolob Canyon is a dead end, so we got back into the cars to drive to the end where the vistas were fabulous.


As I have found out from my wanderings throughout this part of Utah, unexpected events and happenings often occur.  Friday was no exception.  As we walked up to the railing to enjoy the expansive vista, we encountered a young lady with her bearded dragon lizard!  His name was Eddie.  She had been on a road trip with several other relatives, and took him out for some air and sunshine.  We all got to pet him, as he was quite docile.  He had some jewelry around his neck including a collar with his name spelled out. 


As I have reported many times, when one has an animal encounter that is unusual or out of place, there is a personal message to be had.  A bearded dragon’s metaphysical meaning centers on adaptation, grounding, and personal transformation.  It is a “dream walker” archetype.  It symbolizes the ability to balance intense transformation with grounded calmness, encouraging adaptability, patience, and recognizing one’s own inner strength.   I love it!

After that magical encounter, Paul’s group went back to class, and I went home.  I am sure that they will remember that field trip for some time to come.  PS--I just took a closer look at Eddie's toe nails.  Looks like they have red nail polish on them!!!

Whats Up With the Moon?

 

Last night into the early morning hours, our planet experienced a total lunar eclipse.  As this one will be the last for several years, I wanted to get out to photograph it.  Up at 3 AM, totality around 4 AM, and back in bed by 5 AM.  Our weather forecast originally called for cloudy skies, but the clouds blew off and we had a perfectly clear sky.  By the time I went back into the house, the temps had gone down to freezing.  Pretty chilly! 

I am no fan of the moon.  I just like to photograph during times of eclipses.  It is pretty clear that the moon is not a natural planetary body.  Just look at how it is positioned, and how only one side is facing earth all the time.  No other planet in our solar system has a moon that does that.  How is it maintaining its position?  Is someone directing it off planet? 

Years ago I remember reading about an ancient war in our solar system, and how the moon was towed into place.  I believe the good guys lost the war, and consequently lost the moon as a satellite.  When we consider that our planet Earth is 4.54 billion years old, a lot has gone on here in the past. 

About 10 years ago when I was still living in Cortez, Colorado, we had a very interesting lecture by Harrison Schmitt who was an astronaut on Apollo 17, and one of the last men to walk on the moon.  I don’t remember what he said exactly, but what I do remember is that when it came time for some Q & A, he only called on the children in the audience.  I guess he didn’t want to answer any controversial questions from any adults!  (BTW—we also had a lecture from a shuttle astronaut around that same time.  I was amazed at how much medication they had to take just to be able to be comfortable in space.)

Several of the military’s project Stargate remote viewers were tasked to view the dark side of the moon.  I know that they saw structures there, but not sure if they viewed beneath the surface.  George Kavassilas has said that there are several  ET races that live in the interior.  Their job is to monitor the earth, and also to send negative energy to the humans here.  Could that be the origin of our negative thoughts and war like tendencies?   And why did we stop going there?  I have heard several stories about astronauts being warned not to come back. 

The moon has been here long enough to have had many myths, belief systems and archetypes created around it.  We as a human race are certainly suffering from amnesia as to who we are, where we originally came from, and what we are doing here.  How do we recover those memories?  Is the moon a part of the plan to keep us enslaved and ignorant? 

Anyway, I do enjoy photographing eclipse phenomena, even if it means freezing in the cold to get a good shot.

Entities

 

In my healing practice, I have been dealing with a wide variety of client’s entities for over 25 years.  I was first introduced to the concept during my years as a Shamanic practitioner as trained by Alberto Villoldo from the Four Winds Society.  For whatever reason, dealing with the dark side has never bothered me.  I have really firm boundaries and have never taken on an entity from a client.  I can’t say the same for others in my Four Winds class or those that I have gone on to teach the Shamanic healing modalities to.  Alberto had to stop doing entity extractions many years ago because he always soaked up his client’s dark energies like a sponge! 

So what is an entity?  I have a very specific description.  They are either extraterrestrials, earth bound spirits, elemental forms like spiders or leaches, or those strictly from the lower realms of the 4th dimension.  Other healers may have a broader definition, but for many of those, they are probably describing genetic or past life imprints that have been activated in a client.  I believe that this is what Ken Lloyd refers to as “yuckies”. 

Up until the past year or so, I was just dealing with the garden variety of entity that could be attached to a client.  That has shifted somewhat lately.  More and more, I am encountering large and nasty ones that often come in through a portal in the client’s energy field.  These are typically very tall and bony, not quite skeletal, and many have red glowing eyes.

The red glowing eyes are a result of a dark force entity inhabiting the attached entity.  The DFE never has its own body and has to use that of another entity, earth bound spirit, extraterrestrial and even a human body.  There is a special process that I use to remove the DFE before I can remove the attached entity.

Now I don’t mean to freak anyone out, as I am just describing the quality of what has been showing up in the past year or more, and not everyone has this kind of attachment.  So why is the dark side more out there and obvious now?  My sense is that with the acceleration in spiritual evolution, vibration and frequency of humanity and the earth, these beings can no longer hide.  They are in a fight for their survival, so to speak. 

Just look around you at what is going on in our world today.  If you have eyes to see, the antics of the dark side are pretty evident. 

It is very important first of all for you to attend to your energetic hygiene.  That means being Grounded at all times, and expanding your Core Essence every day to clear out any random heavy energy that you have attracted.   Pay attention to the energy of any people that you have engaged with.  If you feel that you have taken on any of their heavy energy, send it back to them right away.  Keep your energy field clean and moving. This may also apply to what you are hearing on the mass media news on a daily basis.  Do not expose yourself to that!  

This may not be enough to bounce out any entities such as the ones that I am describing, but it is a start.  If one can keep their energy field frequency at a very high level, I believe that that is possible to do.  Remember that you are not responsible for the state of the world, only your own healing and evolution.  It starts with the individual always.  If the need arises, I am here to assist.
