Uri Geller Tarot Cards

 

Most mornings I pull a card from my Osho Zen Tarot deck   Today just for kicks, I pulled a card from Uri Geller's "The Extraterrestrial Oracle".  It is described as "52 Divination Cards to Channel the Wisdom of Aliens".  What fun!  The card above is what I got.  

In a nutshell, it indicated that I would be getting an inspiring message from an ET source.  Cool!  Well, the message came in right away.  What I got was that over the life span of planet Earth, many ET races have visited  here.  Some eons ago and some only briefly.  With the ongoing shift in consciousness going on here, many of those races will be coming back to check on us and observe our progress.  Thus, we may be seeing some that are unfamiliar to us showing up.  So keep your eyes open for more strange and unusual happenings.  

Some Final Thoughts

Above is a photo of the “Urfa Man” which is on display in the Sanliurfa Museum.  He was discovered during an excavation near the Pool of Abraham in Sanliurfa, and is considered to be the oldest naturalistic life size sculpture of a human dating back to about 9000 B C.  From this angle, it looks like he could stare deep into your soul!

As the vibration and frequency of our planet and beyond continues to accelerate, those of a lower vibration will have to adjust or transition out of this realm.  People’s unhealed aspects will be up in a very visible way.  We see this all over the world now. 

During this trip, and I suspect still moving well into the future, we were and will be witness to a  spiritual leader who put herself on a pedestal and didn’t do her due diligence as far as running the trip, versus a tour guide who felt he could take advantage in more ways than financially of a group of “rich” westerners, thinking that we  wouldn’t notice or protest the missing funds.  These two clearly came together by prior soul agreement to reenact some sort of karmic drama.  What a show! Thus what was advertised as a really nice itinerary turned out to be more of a nightmare. 

For my part, I was not out any money financially, but certainly out because of the activities that were advertised and not fulfilled upon, substandard meals, and some not so nice hotels.   Some of my fellow travelers were out more money than others. 

So for those spiritually minded people on this trip, it is important to be the observer and watch this drama continue to unfold.  Watch but do not engage.  Take away any lessons that apply to you.  You can look at this as a microcosm of the world macrocosm, and observe the world situation the same way.  Time will tell what new revelations will come out of this.  

The Cats of Turkey

 

This is a final fun note from our trip.  The Turkish people are very fond of their cats.  Anywhere you go, especially in the cities, there are many cats roaming around.  They all look very well kept up and healthy.  It turns out that people routinely carry dry cat food with them to feed their favorite neighborhood cats. The cats are also very friendly and love to be petted.  Here they are.

Gobekli Tepe

 

Not far from Karahan Tepe is the world famous site of Gobekli Tepe. It is dated to between 9500 BC to 8000 BC when the site was deliberately buried.  These were hunter/gatherer people of the pre pottery neolithic era.  Excavations were started in 1994, but there is still much left to excavate.  When I was there in 2018, there was a large grove of olive trees nearby, which has recently been removed because the roots were growing down into an area earmarked for future excavation.  

This was our next to the last day of the trip, and I had been really hoping that we did not have our daily screw up, which for me, was on one of my most important days.  Alas, this was not to be.  Our guide, Emre, had not given us enough time at Karahan Tepe.  It turns out that he was supposed to book private time for our group at Gobekli Tepe after the site closed at 5:30 PM, but neglected to do so.  He wanted to get us there by about 4:30 so we didn’t miss out altogether.  Unfortunately, Patricia did not find out that we didn’t have the private time until we actually got there.  The visitor center had already closed, and we had just enough time to walk around.

Nevertheless, it was a very impactful visit for me, as it had been in 2018.  On this visit, as was the case in 2018, I felt like I was walking in slow motion through very thick air.  There is a huge and powerful vortex there that one experiences when walking around the walkway while looking down at the main enclosures. 

I must back up.  That morning, when we visited the Sanliurfa Museum, we got to see the exhibit of reproductions of the main parts of the site.  It was nice to see that before actually visiting Gobekli Tepe in its natural form, where many of the carved depictions of animals and symbols are really hard to see.  Here are some photos from the museum.

Back to the site as the late afternoon sun was casting shadows.  I have enhanced some of the photos below so that you can see the rock art. 

Even though there is a lot to see here, they are still excavating the surrounding area.  We saw walkways that were not accessible to us leading off in several directions away from the main site. I was so happy to be able to return here, as this might be my last time.  It is truly one of the great wonders of the world.

Karahan Tepe

The big buzz in the world of archaeology the past few years has been about the excavations at Karahan Tepe, which is located in SE Turkey near the border with Syria.  This site was built by hunter-gatherers and dates back to 12,000 BC., making it possibly older than Gobekli Tepe.  It has been known about since 1997, and surveyed after that.  Up until 2019 when the official excavations began, all that was seen there were many  t-shaped pillars sticking out of the hillside, numerous cupules in the bedrock, some oddly shaped stones laying about, and an unfinished huge t-shaped pillar on the west side of the hill.  This is what it looked like when I visited in October 2018. 

This was the scene we encountered a few weeks ago in April of 2026.  Notice the excavation on the top of the hill.  Since this was spring, the vegetation was green and lush. 

A small visitor’s center has been built where the land owner’s house used to be.  I am assuming that they and their herd if goats have been relocated nearby.

Before getting to the site, we visited the fabulous Sanliurfa Museum to view artifacts that had been dug up and were on display and for safe keeping.  Just the energy of those artifacts affected me greatly.  Here are some of them.

This picture from a TV screen shows a stone carving at the site that I was curious to see.  Hugh Newman has documented this part of the location as being a winter solstice sunrise site.  More about this below. 

So here are some photos of Karahan Tepe.  We were lucky to visit before the proposed roof is built..

A very important pillar with a carved face.

I looked all over for that other carved face to no avail. This is what I was looking for.

Here are Hugh Newman's photos of the winter solstice sunrise light passing over the face.

It wasn’t until I had a chance to review my photos that I saw it hiding in the deep shadow of the late afternoon sun.  Not the best photo, but at least I got it, from the side. This enclosure is called the Pillars Shrine.  

So there you have it.  We had one more stop to make that day, to the world famous Gobekli Tepe.
