Tarot on the Soul Level This is a transcript of a channeling session done by HOLMES, assisted by DarkElectric & Tarotphelia. Witnesses were Kazz & VGimlet. The following are the words of the spirit guides of HOLMES, questioned by Tarotphelia. H- "We offer a study in learning to read Tarot on the Soul Level, therefore learning to understand the lives of others & your surroundings from the Soul Level. This is what we have been building up to." DE- "What is my role in this?" H- " Dark's purpose in all this is a Kindred Spirit, sharing the Light." T- " Is there a better way to understand the Tarot on a soul level?" H-" There is a deeper way to read the Tarot. More than the book, but what & how they speak to you. The Soul Level is the highest wisdom. All humans deep down seek to try to understand themselves & others." T- "Must we change something about ourselves to do this ?" H- " The change will happen naturally. The main thing to do this is to achieve the Soul state- connecting to yourselves at the deepest essence of self. To see the cards as the Soul would. We are doing a question statement period to clarify this with the channel & those who wish to be involved." T- " How do we reach the highest level?" H-" It is the channel's 27th birthday- thus he is preparing for his life's work. This is a stepping stone for him & for you on your path. Deeper Self is the key here. No one knows where the Tarot came from. Yet the figures were in people's minds since the time of your culture & past has been. We cannot share the origin of Tarot, for it will be revealed at a time too soon. Perhaps 2 centuries to know, - or when you are ready, where the Tarot was put together." T- "What is the path you refer to?" H- "For each one here is on a path & at a time when paths intersect to learn from each other. It is a matter of choice." T- "What is the Key to the Deeper Self?" H- " To see the cards & feel a deep lesson so that it becomes enlightenment & a revelation itself - like a mirror." T- "What are we missing in this process now?" H- " The Key to the Deeper Self is a remembrance of who we all are & why the archetypal spirits are there for each of us. They are there to teach us." T- "Who then, are we really?" H- " For all times, in many worlds, these figures & we ourselves at a deeper level have always been there, evolving & growing." T- "So the archetypal figures are ourselves, - and you too?" H- "We stop now to discuss among ourselves." T- "They connect us?" H- "The figures are assigned road spirits , as it were, to teach us by facing them & giving over to their lessons." T- " They are road signs on the path to learn from then?" H- "Hmmm..." __________________________________ That was the abrupt end of the channeling session . First it was agreed that the transcript would be pm'd to the participants, but later it was requested by the guides that it be posted on the forum for all. Also directed was that I should post a reply describing my experience. Tarotphelia

DarkElectric & I were told by HOLMES that we were to participate in a channeling session with him, the subject of which was blocked from his knowledge by the guides. And so, there was no way to properly prepare questions & background material ahead of time. The reason for the presence of DarkElectric was explained as that of an energy generator. My contribution was to be a kind grounding & focusing component. HOLMES referred to himself as the transmuter. As DarkElectric sent extra energy , HOLMES was able to channel without being so drained. My questioning served the purpose of keeping him on track & providing focus. The questioning acts as a stimulus for the flow of knowledge from the guides, maintaining the channel contact. Kazz & VGimlet had no idea what was to take place, but were asked after a time if they wished to be participants. As we progressed, I felt the flow of energy as usual when being present for a channel, but this time it was lessened & sporadic. Later, we learned that extra energy was being directed to Kazz & VGimlet by the guides to raise their vibration. It was explained that all participants in the channeling needed to be at the same vibratory level. Hopefully, there will follow at some point, their own experiences with this energy bombardment, and the experience of DarkElectric as well. Before the actual scheduled channeling took place, HOLMES had been giving channeled advice to others that I scribbled down so as not to lose any helpful knowledge. On the subject of the Life Path: H-" Your dreams & true heart desires define your life path, & by doing so you will be happier than when you are not following the path. However, the true lesson is that it is up to thee to find your life path, not what another tells you. For then you are secure in your essential soul self." A test question was asked of me by HOLMES some time before the session itself began. It was to give one question that mankind as a whole needed an answer to. Being stumped for the best answer to that on the spur of the moment, I randomly drew a card from my tarot deck: -The Devil. (!) H-" The Devil is not a person, it is an angel who is attached to the myth by fear. The original temptor to make spiritual beings stronger in their human incarnation. They are made stronger by testing in their fears, attachments, & dark emotions." I must say that I was more than a little disappointed to learn that it will be 2 centuries before the origin of the Tarot can be revealed!! To be presented with such a tantalizing concept out of the blue & then be denied the answer was - crushing! However, perhaps the knowledge to be gained from learning to read on the Soul Level will make up for it. There will be more threads posted as related channelings occur. The best way to describe my experience of these channelings is to say that I can feel the higher connection to a source of knowledge that cares for us. There is a definite energy flow, that reactivates even now as I type . It is a unique miracle that I feel very privileged to participate in. Tarotphelia

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing. Were you all together in real space- as in sitting together in a room in a house, as opposed to astral or virtual networking? Laurel

Dark Inquisitor	04 Sep 2002
We were in the chatroom, & that's why Kazz & VGimlet were sort of caught unaware - they were expecting some light conversation as usual!

H-" Your dreams & true heart desires define your life path, & by doing so you will be happier than when you are not following the path. However, the true lesson is that it is up to thee to find your life path, not what another tells you. For then you are secure in your essential soul self." That Life Path message was directed to me, I think. I asked HOLMES the question when he asked if anyone wanted to ask about their life's path. I'm still deciphering it. I guess it would help if I knew what my dream and true heart's desire were, but that's something I have to figure out. I get that I have to follow my own path and not do what others tell me or advise me - but I've kinda done this all my life anyway.... I was kinda out of place that night in the chat room. It seemed there was definitely something going on that I had no clue about. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was perplexed! But this explains the whole conversation re: DE as a "generator". Still, I think it will be awhile before I'm brave enough to go back to the chatroom. As much as causing confusion, I seemed sorta permenently confused while there.....maybe it was just the night.

HOLMES	05 Sep 2002
. first let me say that it was nice to have you in the chat :O) the message was indeed directed at you :O) it was the first time for chat for you, for getting to know others, :O) what we were discussiong aobut de as generator was kind of a setting up for us and i was impressed by her knowledge of fields. the channeling came after i pulled a card for thee as an add on. they waited out of respect for the masses to leave (lots of people there that night :O) before they started that doesnt happe every night good amyel. in fact it was planned before by me and dark and tarot the night before . in fact you were a catalyst for me inviting lots of people that night there is hardly ever anyone that much in central night time there but for me and some regulars. please friedn come back and share. it is confusing sometiems to see others carry on conversation while there is one going on , but we take private stuff to tells mostly and talk about other stuff like channeling, tarot,spirituality, magic, movies and that is just m side of it . when others carry on conversations i talk to my family, check decks in tarot passages,wicce tarot, llellewyen, lo scarabo, and our own aecletic. it becomes habit forming and bonds are formed, :O) though sometiems it get lonely there even now at 1120 cental time no one there but me :O( so once you get used to it , you will like talking to members in real time, get to know the peeps behind the post sort to speak the personalitie behind the names :O)

its very easy to open a new room when you have logged on to the server. just type this without the quotes, and for room put the name of your chatroom: "/join #room " this will make a new room with the one opening it (typing this command) being the operator (@). edited to add that anyone that wants to join that newly created room also types without quotes: "/join #room" then you are in as well. you can be in 10 rooms at the same time at least on this server. kaz

Hi Guys, Oh yes I was there!!!:confused: I joined the chat room as Holmes invited me, and as he says it is good to chat in real time and really nice to get to know one another behind the posts, so I really enjoy going in there from time to time. As for this particular time, we were all just saying our hi's etc and Holmes, Tarotphelia and Darkelectric were discussing this channeling. I had absolutly no idea what-so-ever what they were talking about, so I asked a few questions and even then I still didn't have much of a clue, so I just let them go and just read what was going on. They kept checking to see if I ws still there and I said "yes but I don't know what you are all on about" so Tarotphelia had a quiet word to me and tried to explain it as clear as she could to little clueless me:| ....and just then.... as I was chatting to her, all of a sudden (I mean REALLY quickly)... I felt an intense "buzz" all through my body!!! It felt like I was high on something 8) and I got to tell you it kinda FREAKED me out!!! :eek: I have never felt like this before and I was a little scared, as I felt that I had no control over myself. Mind you, I had about 20 min before I had to pick up my daughter from pre-school and I had trouble grounding myself back to normal. Tarotphelia and Holmes were great as they made me understand what was happening alot better so I wasn't freaking out as much. I held my crystals for a short time and concentrated on grounding myself as i had to drive my car, but I was fine. I would have to be prepared in advance before I would do it again and have alot more understanding about the whole thing.(but I won't be in a hurry :D) The other strange thing was that after that both my daughters were very cuddly and clingy towards me (more so than normal) and I felt really good, very relaxed, and SO SO TIRED. I went to bed very early that night:) It's funny as I feel a little buzzing as I type this, but nowhere near as intense...(memories) Well that was my experience I wish I knew alot more though before hand, but I am keen to find out some more info on this. Cheers Kazz

DarkElectric	05 Sep 2002
Wow, Kazz, I am so sorry that you got freaked out by this. Holmes and the rest of us had planned this thing the night before, and it was supposed to be just the three of us, but when other people started coming in, I thought that the plan had changed, and I didn't know about it. HOLMES and I had agreed that I was going to generate for him, because he gets drained when he channels, and needed extra voltage. So, I thought this was all part of the plan, and when I powered up and sent it through, that's what you ended up getting...and it split off to the other people who were on the circuit, so it was distributed among everyone. HOLMES, I hope you won't be too disappointed by my recount of what happened! I was asked to generate energy, and that's what I do, so that's what I did. I grounded, powered up, and transmitted. I remember seeing ,( innersight) and feeling, a mass of streaming, sparkling light, on the right side, very bright, and moving, Whoosh! This is how it usually happens when I generate,but this time, there was something that was different about it, like the focus was lost, and the juice was diffusing. Then, it started to break up, and fragment. It began to feel like I was driving really fast on a very bumpy road. I kept it going, but it was sort of difficult to keep the level up. (I think what happened, was the other folks were receiving, and reactions were ocurring) I felt as if it would be a really good idea to ground out at this point, and cut power. Good thing I did. We didn't know about setting up a private room, but we will definitely do this in future, and stick to the plan. HOLMES's guides are really great, and they made sure that it didn't go too far. It was a truly interesting experience interfacing with them. I'm sorry Kazz, no one meant to be irresponsible with energy. It's good energy, though, and I'm not surprised you got a buzz! I am also glad that there were 3 other people there who drained it off so it was kind of a mild dose. Eek!

HOLMES	05 Sep 2002
i only channelled for friends like zorya, dark, tarot. it was a pratice like the readng exchange. in fact i was suprised it went that well for various people. then i asked dark and tarot if they would partipate in an experiment tomorrow to try a group channel. i had pm amyel before to come to the chat room the previous night so she was there when i log on so i pmed people to chat with. when the time set came people started to log off all but kazz and vgimlet :) i asked why do we postpone ? and the answer was their souls were there to experience it and the choice would be given to them as it was. i even asked if they minded if we channedl they said sure, ok and thus it began. in my mind was ok for in our previous discussons, before when we talked in chat i asked them to read my channelng posts. the energy they felt was the guides were sending them light to raise their vibration. :O) 1.never knew about these extra rooms 2. it was always by choice and for friends. 3. never channeled or read for strangers that i didn't know like the drop ins who find the room . 4. channeled wasnt' confused it was planned to be a question and answer. and they kept an eye on kazz and vjgimlet responses so it ended. 5. these channelings do not happen there every night in fact it is only been the last two weeks before umbrae and hermit log on that it was just me , tarot , dark, and zorya. ah but it is of no matter, the channelings were to be pmed to each other then tarot asked if it should be posted and i was hesistant then the message was post it to see where it goes. i have learned lots from this. about how others see it on their end. the experiment is at end for i never misapproiated anything and therefore shall never go back there. and as for where i head now i do not know but thanks to kazz and vjgimlet for paritipcating even thouh they didnt' fully know. the not fully know was my fualt :O( edited, aww hell i can't leave chat i love it too much , i will listen and leave the chat for tarot topics :O)

Kaz	05 Sep 2002
hey holmes, it's actually very easy to just sidestep to a next channel (room) if you guys want to do this. and i didnt mean any offense to you or other participants with mentioning this, just an easy way to continue what you guys were doing without others maybe interupting, feeling uncomfortable or whatever....... anyways, me has a curious mind and is interested in this kaz

HOLMES	05 Sep 2002
we will continue on the private room once a week at this time. anyon who wants in please make a posting :O)

VGimlet	06 Sep 2002
I was going to try to get on here sooner and post my experience, but I haven't had a chance until now. :) Like Kazz, I didn't know what was going on, and I had never been involved in/with channelling before, but when they told me what they were planning and asked if it was okay with me, I said sure (or something to that effect, :) ) I have a very curious mind, so of course I had to say yes. I wasn't expecting part way through to suddenly feel like I'd just had a couple of quad lattes! I was pretty tired before I got on, but suddenly I was totally energized. I didn't actually realize until after Holmes was finished that *everyone* had felt that energy. It was really cool (for lack of a more scholarly description, LOL). I was more jazzed up, it didn't freak me out at all; but I tend to be very grounded anyway - maybe because of my animal thing. You know, it occurs to me that part of the reason the energy might have seemed so scattered was that a few times during the session I did leave my computer and go out and call my cat (which was the only reason I was still up to begin with). If I every have the opportunity again, I won't do that. I thought it was an awesome experience, thanks for including me. :D

Kazz	06 Sep 2002
Today, I went to a study group for Tarot, we meet once a month to read and discuss the tarot, I bought up the subject of channelling to a couple of the others and was very surprised to hear that one of the elderly ladies who attends, runs a spiritual church and channelling was her thing. So... of course I told her about my experience with you guys and she started telling us about it. So now.....as you can imagine, I will be talking to her alot more. I have gone from having no clue as to what channelling is, to getting zapped, (no pun intended...just my strange humour), to wanting to learn much more about it. I think that I was mean't to experience this as Holmes said, and was mean't to meet this lady. Who knows! Thanks DE, T, H, V, A for the experience:) that I won't forget. Cheers Kazz :TQC

This thread has me intrgiued so much I had to jump in and say so! I would love to be a more active part in HOLMES channeling, but don't have the time resource (darnnnit). I guess I'll have to be content to follow along instead, so post lots here ok? I think the subject matter is jusssst tantalizaing alright. In any case, I'm watching and reading this thread with avid interest, and wanted to express that to you! :)

DarkElectric	06 Sep 2002
Hi Kazz! It's ok to say Zapped! It's what happend! I'm just glad Holmes's guides directed the current, and distributed it to the other people in the room, so no one person got the full effect of the voltage. We all learned a lot from that, especially me. As I said before, HOLMES has some great guides, and they made sure there were no ill effects. What I got out of this, has been a NOTICBLE increase in my abilty to generate, transform/transmit and receive electrical energy! (Oh NO! Not MORE!)

ChrisTheObscure	06 Sep 2002
so out of curiosity....how does one find out if they have spirit guides, and if they do, how does one get in contact with them? :D C.

Liliana	06 Sep 2002
Personally Id love to join in, my husband used to channel but not so much anymore, I always found it fascinating, actually really miss his main guide now that he has stopped doing it. What time do you people do this, and what day? :THP

VGimlet	10 Sep 2002
Yes, please let me know when you're going to channel again, I would like to be there. I have a very odd schedule, so usually nights are better for me - but I will be there if I can. (was this the right thread to reply too????) VG confused, as usual. ;)

Faerie Lin	10 Sep 2002
Holmes! You never PM me anymore! "whats up with that?" lol wait, I've been on invisible for awhile now lol. Anyhow, I'd love to join... off to make myself visible again.. PM me when you see me on. lin
