Introduction Hello and welcome to this book of tarot. You have found the Oxo Halo/Michael Sharp (Halo/Sharp) tarot deck. This is the new energy/new world tarot. This is the lightworker’s tool of choice for rapid personal (or client based) enlightenment and activation. If you have been looking around at the mess in this world and wondering what the heck you could do to wake people up, this is your answer. This tarot deck, and the associated book, will provide you with an unbeatable set of concepts and images which you, working as lightworker and healer, will be able to use to help awaken even the sleepiest of sleepy heads. Needless to say, if you have been around the tarot at all in the past you will find many new things in this book and in the associated deck of tarot cards. Oxo Halo (the artist) and myself (the author) have significantly modified the Western tarot system with the express intent of bringing the tarot system out of the dark ages and into the light energies of the new age. In order to facilitate this process we have dropped the numbers off the cards (never to be used again) and provided updated descriptions for all of the twenty-two major arcana. In addition, we have provided new
spiritual transformation and awakening (the true purpose of the western tarot), we have identified the old energies of hierarchy and control which have corrupted the manifested tarot and cordoned these energies off from the new energies of spiritual awakening and empowerment. All in all, Halo and myself have hammered, purified, cleaned, and shined the tarot system until we have arrived at what we consider to be the first fully manifested new energy, lightworker tool of rapid spiritual awakening and empowerment. If you are a lightworker and/or student of tarot I, Michael Sharp, certainly think you will be excited and empowered by what you find here. However, even if you are not a dabbler, practitioner, artist or student of tarot, if you do not consider yourself a lightworker and do not really have an interest in working spiritual magic on clients in your practices, do not go away! Although this book will be interesting to those who have been drawn to tarot in the past, in truth this book of tarot, this Book of the Triumph of Spirit is not written just for students, artists, lightworkers, and practitioners of tarot. No, no, no. It is not like that at all!

You see, dear one, you are not here by
The Book of Triumph accident, happenstance, or some random turn of fortune. You are here by design.
Shambhala. Shambhala. Shambhala.
You are here on purpose. You are here because you asked (either consciously or unconsciously) for help on your path of spiritual awakening or because you are responding to a twingy little feeling down in your gut. Either way, you are here for awakening. You have come for empowerment. You have come for ascension. Be welcome and be in joy. Trust. Open to the energies and truths that you find here. There is nothing to fear in what lies ahead. This process that you are about to undertake is going to unfold the true nature of you. This process is going to return you to full power and awareness. Know that this book was written from the perspective of our glorious spiritual unity.
At this point you may be asking what, beyond all the fancy spiritual words in the preceding sentences, this book is really about. Well, this book is about a lot of things but when you get right down to the bones, this book is about the tarot as a fast path of spiritual enlightenment and bodily activation. This book is about the 22 major arcana of the western tarot and their status as a high vibrational system of rapid spiritual initiation and awakening. This book is about the tarot as a tool of power and light which you will you use to smash the chains that have bound your mind, body, and soul beneath The Veil. This book is a step by step guide to quickly and efficiently removing obstacles, confronting fears, balancing energy, activating body, and ascending into the full light and power of your glorious spiritual consciousness.
Know that this book was written by a member of your spiritual family.
This book is part of what I like to call my Lightning Path.
Know that this book was written with love and in humble service to you, dear, glorious child of light, love, and fire. Welcome home dear one and be in joy.
This is the fast track to full consciousness and full power. It is a big claim, I know. But bear with me for a while.
The time is now. The place is earth.

Michael Sharp Follow, lead, lift, activate, ascend. It is time.
So how exactly does this all work? This is a good question and I will fill in the details and talk more about the way the western tarot (and especially the Halo/Sharp Tarot) functions in the next couple of chapters. For now, perhaps a little information about me is in order. As you know, my name is Michael Sharp. I am here speaking to you today because we stand on the cusp of our ascension acceleration. I am here because the time is now. I am here because the place is earth. I am here because now we have flooded the earth with energy, and now we have all our checks and balances in place, and now we are ready to proceed with ascension, and so now rapid awakening is not only advisable, it is a requirement of our success and survival. Now do not fret. I am here to help with this rapid awakening. I am a spiritual teacher of sorts and I am here to help you remember who you are. Call me Michael, the Messenger of the Ascension. I bring you The Lightning Path back home to your innocence and glory. So come. Take my hand. Remember your power. Remember your glory. Take the hand of those around you.
Now before we get to the nitty gritty of all this, let me first thank you, on behalf of Spirit, for the job you have done. Let me thank you for all your work and hard effort. Let me honor your contributions and your sacrifices. Let me tell you that you have done a spectacular job on The Great Work of Ascension. There is only one word to describe our collective spiritual accomplishment and it is...
!!!MAGNIFICENT!!!! Job well done but the work is not over yet!! Remember, we are only a cosmic clock tick away from 2012 (which is, as you may or may not know, the formal birthdate of our new creation) and we need to get cracking. Between now and “the end� we have lots of work to do. Not only do you have to wake up and empower, but everyone else around you has to wake up as well. This will be a lot of work. It will require your faith (especially in the early stages) and your dedication. However, you can do it. You have trained multiple lifetimes for this very day and you have all the skills and technique you need to accomplish the tasks you set for yourself as

Now before you go and take a closer look at this new energy tarot system, I need to share a few minor details about this book, the associated cards, and the Lightning Path with you. First of all, in order to facilitate your rapid access to the transformative energies of the tarot, this guidebook is organized into two main sections. The first section (which you are now reading) consists of the prefatory material and includes this introduction, chapter one, and chapter two. In the prefatory materials I introduce the tarot keys to you in more detail, discuss their purpose, and provide you with general guidance on accessing the transformative energies of The Book of the Triumph Spirit. The second section of the book consists of the actual card descriptions. As you will see (if you peek ahead), these descriptions are complex and organized into multiple “books� of tarot (i.e., The Book of Spirit, The Book of Slavery, The Book of Power, and The Book of Keys). I will explain about this organization and what it means in the
10
Third, and as you already know, in writing this guidebook we (and by we I mean Oxo Halo and myself) have created a new deck which we call the Halo/Sharp tarot deck. The Halo/Sharp deck is the first new energy/new world tarot deck. Please note that you cannot use old energy decks (and by old energy decks I mean any deck that has a zero numbered Fool card) with this book. There are irreconcilable differences between the new energy tarot (as represented by this book and deck) and the old energy decks. Differences in naming and numbering and, in some cases, radically different images and concepts, represent and present a clear and total break with the old system. Until such time as artists have begun to draw their own new energy versions, you will need to use our deck with this book. If the Halo/Sharp deck was not included with this book, you can purchase a copy from Avatar Publications. Visit our website for details. http://www.avatarpublication.com. Fourth, I do not consider this Book of the Triumph of Spirit an introductory book. The
Michael Sharp materials here assume an uncorrupted knowledge of the basic spiritual truths of this planet. If you are having difficulty sorting out the things you are reading, read my other books. My previous work (The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order, The Dossier of the Ascension, and The Book of Light Volume One) provides all the necessary groundwork that you need in order to efficiently and effectively approach the materials in this book. Many of my previous books are free so consult my website at http://www.michaelsharp.org/ for details.
In closing we (and by we I mean Halo and I, my wife and our kids, our dog and our three ugly frogs) would like to thank you for joining us on this last leg of our millennial spiritual journey. It is our joy and happiness to be able to offer this small contribution to the full return of your original spiritual innocence and full spiritual power. Let us raise the roof. Let us ascend this universe. The time is now. The place is earth. Shambhala. Shambhala. Shambhala.

The Multiple Books of Tarot
1
“What is duality”, you ask? In the previous chapter (the introduction) I called this book, and the tarot deck that is associated with it, the new energy tarot. In this short chapter I want to elaborate briefly on what I mean by “new” and “old” energy and I want to use this discussion of old and new energy to build the foundation that I need to be able to introduce you to the multiple books of tarot that are contained within this Book of the Triumph of Spirit. In order to accomplish this I will have to first distinguish between new energy and old energy so that you understand where the “multiple books” are coming from. It may sound a bit confusing right now but by the end of this chapter you will have the groundwork and the understanding you need. In order to
Well, duality is simply the struggle between oppositions. It is the movement of yin/yang. It is the struggle between left and right. It is the clash of republican and democrat. It is the battle of the sexes. It is the war between good and evil. It is the swing between positive (+) and negative (-). This is duality. Duality is the struggle of oppositions at all

leisure categories, we have a million of them. If you are in the old energy, you swim in them.
First, let us talk about the old energy. There are three characteristics of the old energy that set it apart from the new energy’s. If you understand these three characteristics, you will understand the old energy and what makes it different from the new energy currently flooding this earth. The first characteristic of the old energy we have to understand is that the old energy is about duality.
So why do we swim in these energies? Well, as I explain in The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order and The Book of Light Volume Two, it is all about ascension. You see, the struggle between oppositions, the swing between poles, the constant back and forth between left and right, black and white, good and evil, light and dark, positive (+) and negative (-),
Michael Sharp etc. generates energy. How does that work? Well, it is a little bit like an electrical generator. You rotate opposing poles (i.e., (+) and (-)) around a gigantic magnet (i.e., Gaia) and this generates energy. We incarnate into a body, adopt one side of a set of dualities, live in a dialectical opposition to others, and generate energy/chi/prana. It is quite simple, really. Duality generates energy which we then use to use to lift physical matter universe through the quantum ascension barrier. Put opposites together and you get movement, spinning, sparks. This is the why of the old energy. Duality facilitates the manifestation of opposition and the generation of energy which we then use to enervate the molecules and ascend the universe. I realize this may be a little different than what the scientists (who say “evolution”) and the priests (who say “salvation”) may have told you was the purpose of our life here. Be that as it may, life is not about evolution or the struggle to survive, nor it is about salvation and trying to build a better soul. Our real job is to ascend The Universe by running amok in duality. Now this is not as easy as it might sound at first. Having lived in duality for so many millennia, you can be forgiven for thinking that duality and dialectical opposition is the only way to organize creation. You can be forgiven for thinking that
duality is like a God given formula for the physical universe. You can be forgiven for thinking that yin/ yang, light/dark, good/evil, black/white, and all the oppositions are necessary or universal requirements of creation. The fact is though, they are not universal requirements. The truth is, duality is not a universal experience of creation. Duality is not a criteria of creation. In fact, duality is an aberration. In all of creation, there have been only a handful of (what we might like to call) experimental nodes that have been steeped in this duality brew. The truth is, as I explain in greater detail in The Book of Light, that our primary and primordial experience is unity and oneness. As the Mayans say, In La’kech -- you are another me. Now, this unity consciousness is a problem for those of us who wanted to work on The Ascension by working in duality. Why? Because in the condition of unity and oneness we know nothing but bliss and contentment at our shared divinity. The basic problem is this: how do you get a totally connected-to-God-and-Spirit superconscious spark of eternal bliss and contentment to believe in duality? How do you get a superconscious spark of divinity to believe in the absurd oppositional categories of hell, Satan, left, right, good, evil, Christian, Muslim, or any of the other primary oppositions we are steeped in when the ideas themselves are, to a superconscious spark of

like good versus evil and right versus wrong, but we could never take them seriously enough to get them to manifest properly. We either created limpid and watered down versions of the dualities we need or we broke down laughing at the thought of having to take it all seriously. The truth is, to a fully conscious spiritual monad, the ideas of good and evil, right and wrong, left and right, us and them, are beyond absurd. To a fully aware spark of the creator, duality is ridiculous. In fact, to a body that is fully conscious of the spark of creator consciousness that animates it, duality was such an absurd
Duality in Lemuria. Duality and Duh on the planet of Atlantis. I will talk more about the energy of Duh in the body of this book (especially when I am talking about the personalities behind the Duh). At this point it is only important to know that with the energy of Duh in place, we were able to manifest an incredibly complex system for suppressing our consciousness. I like to call this system “The System”. With The System in place, we got duality and in a big way.
idea that we just could not “get into it”. This was a problem because unless we could truly get into it, we would not be able to generate the energy we needed to ascend creation. What to do? Obviously, we could not keep working in Lemurian conditions. We needed to try something different and after some consideration we decided the solution was to put a veil over the consciousness of the body so that it would be largely unaware of its connection and source in the divine fabric of spiritual consciousness. Basically, we had to dumb ourselves down, dim our lights, muddy up our connections, and otherwise darken our spark of divinity if we were to ever have a chance of taking
14
As we descended beneath The Veil (an alternate name for the manifestation of the energy of Duh), our bodies and minds were cut off from our greater spiritual glory. We were disconnected from our knowing, did not know we were God, and could not feel our connection to our higher consciousness. We were separated, isolated, cut off, and dumbed down. Under these diminished conditions it took only a little bit of urging from the higher self (and by higher self I mean that part of you that your body/mind cannot perceive because of the disconnection) to get the ball rolling. It worked brilliantly and did the sparks ever fly.

We literally ran amok in duality and it did not take very long at all before the energy meters registered off the scales. Our little node of creation became an ascension powder keg. Exciting! And then the time came to light the fuse. But this was a problem because we (and by we I mean the ascension workers incarnated into a veiled body) did not know about the experiment, the greater truths of spirit, or the purpose for our incarnation. Because we were disconnected, there was no communication. Not to worry though. All we (and by we I
nevertheless looking after this experiment) thought once the fuse was lit and the ascension was proceeding, the bodies would just wake up and we would all proceed into ascension. Boy, were we wrong.

The Book of Triumph *B*O*O*M*. New asteroid belt. *B*O*O*M*. Obviously, this was not what we were looking for. We wanted to ascend the planet and the Universe, not blow it up.
The tools and techniques, and the methodologies of control, would be easy (if unpleasant) to develop. We would just need some time to do it and, because Atlantis had been reduced to the status of asteroid belt, another planet to do it on. After Gaia graciously volunteered, and after we assessed the situation and set out a time line for it to be complete (i.e., 2012), we got underway.
This was an obvious problem. The spiral into destruction happened too fast.

oppositional destruction. In desperation we sent additional messengers to wake people up, but they did not have the tools or the time the needed. As a result, Atlanteans did not wake up fast enough, duality outran the speed of our awakening, and the result was *B*O*O*M*. This was the problem. Give a sleepy mind swimming in duality a lot of power and it will take that duality and manifest it to its inevitable conclusion which is, as we found out, the annihilation of the oppositions. This was a problem but what was the solution? Well, at this point the solution was two pronged. On the one hand, we would have to develop some tools and techniques for waking people up quickly and on the other hand we would have to have some way to control energy and manifestation so we did not blow ourselves up again.
16
Call this new wrinkle the energy of domination. This third wrinkle, this energy of domination, is the third characteristic of the old energy you need to be aware of. Duality in Lemuria. Duality and Duh in Atlantis. Duality, Duh, and Domination on Gaia. Like the energy of Duh in Atlantis, the energy of Domination was manifested by old energy priests into a system (call it The System) of energy suppression. This system which we developed, and which included subsystems for encouraging duality and consciousness suppression, was quite complicated and all encompassing. The System was/is administered by The Brotherhoods and covers suppression of consciousness, suppression of chakras energies, suppression of kundalini, just to name a few of the pressure points. The System
Michael Sharp interpenetrates through the consciousness and our body like the silken tendrils of a giant spider web and it locks us in place so that our ability to manifest (as above in consciousness, so below in matter) is curtailed. I will go into more detail about this system in the card descriptions and in a subsequent book which I will entitle The Black Book. Now, it is most important that you recognize, as you already do, that The System was/is manifested with the tripartite energy of duality, duh, and domination and that the system is a hierarchical system. Hierarchy, you see, is the key to controlling your energy. As long as you only listen to the commandments of your “boss”, as long as you do what you are told, as long as you fit yourself into some little niche somewhere in some hierarchy, we can control the process. As long as you can fit in somewhere, we feed the ideas that we need to create duality through the hierarchy. As long as you fit in, we can feed the ideas that we need to suppress consciousness through the hierarchy. As long as you can fit in, we can keep this planet from becoming the second asteroid belt in the system of Sol. It is a tough fit, do not get me wrong, and not everybody can do it. Many who have incarnated to work on the ascension have been unable to handle the utter spiritual horror of the three D’s (i.e., the 3D’s of duality, duh, and domination) of this existence here and they break down, suffer tremendously, hurt, and even go insane (while in the body).
But we did it. With the energy of duality and duh we were able to descend beneath The Veil, work our bodies into an energetic frenzy, and generate the energy we needed to ascend. With the energy of domination we were able to smack ourselves down if duality looked to be getting out of control. This gave us the time we needed to develop the tools for a rapid awakening and arrange the conditions for a safe ascension. This gave us the time we needed to get ready and though we came close to *B*O*O*M* a couple of times in recent history, we were able to keep from stepping over the line. So, we worked and prepared and tested and now here we are and here I am. My name is Michael Sharp and I am honored to be the one to bring you the good news. Our preparations are complete. All checks and balances are in place. We are set to go. We are ready for take off. Because all conditions are in place, we can now fulfill The Promise and I can now bring you The Lightning Path. I can bring you this new energy tarot system as a tool and a gift.
For the rest of us, getting from glorious spark of creator consciousness to dumbed down and

The Book of Triumph return. This new energy tarot system will help you clear away all remaining vestiges of The System. It will help you get rid of the 3D existence that we have tolerated for so long. It will help you clear duality. It will help you disperse The Veil. It will help you remember your power and it will leave you - if I have done my job with any degree of skill, and you have done your homework with any degree of perserverance - standing naked and glorious in your full spiritual power. I realize this is a big claim but somebody has to do this job and I believe that this tarot tool is up to the challenge. Halo and I cut no corners in developing an elegant and easy to use system of spiritual awakening. Not only are the images beautiful, fresh, and grounded in the raw creative power of fractal mathematics, but the descriptions for each image are complex, intertwined, and multilayered. The descriptions are packed tight with little energy nuggets that will help you excise both large and small chunks of the old 3D energies of duality, duh, and domination. Out with the darkness. Recognize that you are light!
work. In the new energy there is no duality, there is no duh, and there is certainly no domination. Of course, to the call the new energies “new” is a bit of a misnomer. They are not really new energies at all. In fact, the new energies that those at the “cutting edge” are currently learning to work with are ancient energies from a time when we were not working on ascension of the universe. So really, the new energies are older energies. But this is just semantics. What you have to understand is that the “new” energies are energies devoid of the 3Ds of our ascension work. Once you understand that, and once you understand that we have have multiple energy systems to work with (i.e., old energies which we are trying to get rid of and “new” energies we are trying to bring forward), you will understand the reason why this book contains, as identified in the introduction to this chapter, multiple books of tarot. Although I call this book The Book of the Triumph of Spirit as if there is only one book here, in fact there are several books all embedded into this single opus. If you glance over the card descriptions in the second part of this book, you will see that within each single vertical description there are several headings. There is a heading for the Book of Spirit, the Book of Power, the Book of Slavery, and the Book of Keys. These books are the multiple books of tarot.

These books organize the tarot energies into what we might call a “divinity brew”. How do we do the brew? Good question. First, we create a pure new energy image
Michael Sharp (the tarot cards themselves) that drops all superfluous symbolism and presents the spiritual energies of the tarot in pure and uncorrupted channels. Then, we take the new energies of awakening and manifest them as text in The Book of Spirit. In The Book of Spirit (i.e., the first part of every card description) I talk about the important spiritual truths of you. I talk about awakening and empowerment. I talk about who you are as spirit (the Identity chapter), what your purpose is for incarnating on this earth (the Purpose chapter), who your “gods” have been (the Personality chapter) , and how you can go about getting back to full awareness and power (the Activation chapter). The Book of Spirit is a complete book itself and is everything that you need in order to advance along the Lightning Path and complete your process of awakening and empowerment. After The Book of Spirit energies are presented, I then provide additional assistance for those who find themselves a little stuck in the old energies. What I do is to take the nefarious ener-
The Book of Spirit, The Book of Power, and The Book of Slavery), stir it all up, and bake it until we get a “key” which you can use, if you open with intent for transformation, to snap the brittle lock that keeps you locked up. To use the “key” energies, simply read the card description vertically (i.e., top to bottom). Do this when you are ready. Do this when you wish to proceed with efficiency. Of course, the key is not strictly necessary. It is provided for those who need a little extra energetic *thump* to get them through The Book of Power or The Book of Slavery energies. And that’s pretty much all there is too it. This is the Halo/Sharp new energy tarot system. This is the lightworker tool of choice for rapid awakening and empowerment. So get to it, will you? The clock is ticking.
gies of Duality, Duh, and Domination (the 3D’s) and relegate, confine, and bind these energies to The Book of Slavery and The Book of Power. In these two books you can read off about a dozen or so of the main ideas that have controlled our consciousness through this last 12,000 year effort to accomplish The Great Work of Ascension. If you find you are stuck and not moving forward into a Joyful existence, check into The Book of Power or The Book of Slavery. If you find some of your own thinking mirrored in those books, change your thinking. Consult The Book of Spirit for assistance. Finally, and just for good measure, I take all the energies that come before (i.e., the energies of

Quick Go Guide Before turning you loose into the cards I have a few more things to say by way of final preparation. As I have already said, this tarot is a system of rapid awakening and transformation. I realize this statement is pretty abstract and so now I would like to provide you with a better idea of what this actually means, how this all works, and how best to approach the cards. This is your final orientation. This is the countdown to blast-off. Do not worry.
You are in good hands. Keep a few things in mind as you access the tarot energies, starting with the fact that...

It is all very simple. Just think of water flowing in the garden hose. So, how do you access the water in the garden hose? Simple, all you have to do is...
Michael Sharp
Point the cards at your face Like any garden hose, if you want to be splashed with the water, turn the card on yourself. Likewise, if you want to splash someone else, turn the card on them. The energies here are always flowing so you do not even have to turn the cards on. You do not even have to signal intent to be blasted with the energies. Just looking at the cards, just pointing them, is enough. Of course, it is best if you are facing the cards directly so that your crown and third eye receive the full benefit of the energies and it would be best if intent is directed at transformation. But even if intent is not there, even if people resist, the energies will, nevertheless, have an impact .
head, or the depleted uranium in U.S. weaponry, there is an impact. It can be subtle and long term or quick and dramatic. It all depends on the energy, the frequency, the amplitude, and your proximity to source. However, have no fear. Do not worry about the tarot energies. Unlike the radiation from plutonium, these invisible energies will not destroy your cells. Instead, these energies help transform and enliven. However, as positive as these energies may be, you must still remember that...

Take as much time as you need to integrate and rest and remember that...
You are not destroying these energies (that is negative), you are transforming them!
Help is standing by Each one of us on this earth has a half dozen or so spiritual guides waiting to give us the energies of love and support that we need to accomplish our goals Ask them for help. Tap into thire energies. Draw on them for support. Say “I wish help moving forward” or “I wish to recuperate” or “I wish your support” or whatever. Your guides are anxiously listening, ready, and more than willing to get you safely home.
It is true that the card descriptions will help you recognize and transform these old energies, but it will be up to you to do the work. The measure of your progress is your ability to stay positive. If you slip a little bit, do not worry. Pay attention, pause, and get back to the positive. The farther you progress, indeed the farther we all progress, the easier it will become. As you move forward you’ll find the negativity has less and less control of you. As long as you keep moving, one day soon we will all wake up in the permanent bliss of our original (i.e., before this “fall” beneath The Veil) condition. Finally, you need to...
Two more things before we finish. First of all, you must remember to...
Stay positive As you approach the cards and pick them up, I need to ask you to remain positive as much

Take care of yourself This may sound like a bit of cliche but it is necessary. There is work ahead of you but do not worry, move as fast or as slow as you want.
Michael Sharp Take bearings, decide your speed and direction by consulting your own inner compass. If you are tired, rest. If you are hungry, eat. If you are sad, cry. If you are happy, rejoice. If you attain bliss, stick with it as long as you can. Each blissful moment you attain to brings to an end the illusions of 3D. Each blissful moment that you attain to brings the reality of Shambhala forward. Frankly, I have had enough of children dying needlessly of slow starvation and horrible disease just so a few rich men can play their penis games of power, control, and glory. So let’s get on with it OK. Go on...

Numbering Notes This final short commentary is a note written for everyone but aimed specifically at
The truth is, numbering the cards from 0 to 21 forced a certain order to the cards. Naming the
those of you familiar enough with the tarot to know that a) there should be numbers on these
cards such absurd names as “The Fool” forced certain interpretations. Taken together, the linear
cards and b) the names should be different.
numbering system implied a certain “evolutionary” advance while the imposition of names justified
I know that dropping the numbers and renaming the cards is a bit of a “tarot 360” but to be honest, that is what we are aiming for. We are aiming for a revolution in tarot. We want to encourage a complete and total break with the old energies. We do not want these cards (or any future cards) to participate in the old energies of hierarchy and control that were planted over the original tarot energies. We want to purify the deck and present a new system that is about spiritual awakening and empowerment in the now and not in the “sometime later”. In order to do that we had to break the energetic link with the old system and one of the ways we do that (besides separating all the negative energies out into the multiple books) is to break up the old linear numbering system (which follows a linear and hierarchical path) and rename some of the obviously (and sometimes obnoxiously) misnamed cards. The bottom line is, the numbers and old names of the old energy card (names like Fool and Empress and Emperor and Judgment) participate in The System of slavery and are part and parcel of The Book of Power and The Book of Slavery.
hierarchy, control, wealth and privilege. After all, it is hard to think of yourself as a divine spark of creator consciousness when you are constantly being reminded of how stupid and “foolish” you are and how much you need tutelage, training, advancement, evolution, and control. Now of course, no judgment is implied here. As I have said repeatedly in my books, I am not here to judge. I am here, like you, to uplift creation in this grand experimental thing we call The Ascension. It is true that the oppressive energies of the tarot were required while we were getting everything ready in the long and oh-so painful and boring run-up to 2012. However, now that we’re here at “the beginning” of the new creation, it is time we dropped the numbering system, recaptured more salubrious names (i.e., favorable to or promoting health or well-being), and took the lid off the cards. That is what we (Oxo Halo and I) have done. We have updated the images, dropped the numbering system (to encourage a more fluid and variable approach), and renamed many of the cards to strip
Michael Sharp them of their negative associations. The Fool becomes Joyful, for example, The Empress and The Emperor (two cards with an obvious association and link to this world’s elite hierarchies) becomes Gaia and Mars and Judgment (an ugly line of thinking) becomes The Calling or The Redemption. When you see some of the alternative methods for ordering the cards, when you see the way the linear organization of The Book of Spirit and The Book of Power build on your energy oppression, and when you compare our new names with the old, oppressive system of naming, I think you will agree that dropping numbers and renaming cards was an essential step in the process of tarot reclamation.
Book of Power and The Book of Slavery and I also include the ordering system for The Book of Spirit and The Book of Keys. As you will see, The Book of Spirit isn’t organized by linear numbers. Instead it is organized into four chapters that include an Identity chapter, a Purpose chapter, a Prophecy chapter, and a Personality chapter. The Identity chapter provides a set of channels that speak to your identity. The Purpose chapter provides information on your purpose for incarnating. The Personality chapter provides information on some of the more important entities that have helped us with our work. Finally, the Prophecy chapter has cards that speak to the stages of awakening, activation, and ascension.
To artists who may be reading, we invite you to draw your own decks using your own cultural and religious symbols. Use our images and descriptions for guidance if you like. Look for the archetypes represented in these cards to be reflected in your culture and then use your cultural representations for inspiration. The best way to empower your own cards and your own experience is to connect with the spiritual system of meaning that you know best. Just remember, this is a watershed. Your new energy cards should not participate in the old energy.
If you are approaching the cards for transformation, I would recommend you follow my order, i.e., The Book of Spirit, at least initially. Not only will this provide you with a lot of useful information, but it will give you a better feel for the cards and help you build confidence. Once you feel sure of your footing, organize the cards however you like. The Halo/Sharp images and descriptions are just the start. There is no need to stick with the templates I have provided. Use the energy and draw whatever information you need through the channels.
Our work is done. Be creative especially when reading these We move forward from this point.
cards for others. Pay attention. Experiment.
A final comment is in order. Following this chapter I have included the various numbering systems mentioned earlier. I include the old energy numbering systems from The
What kind of energetic thump do you get, for example, when you put The Tower beside The Calling? What happens if you take the energy of
25
The Book of Triumph Initiation and put it beside The Master? There are a zillion combinations and if you follow your intuition and trust your heart, each combination will provide you or your client with just the right combination of energies needed to pierce through blockages that may be preventing forward movement. Experiment and see what happens. Just make sure to stay positive especially when you are showing these cards to others. At this point you cannot really screw anything up, so do not worry. However, the faster you can get into a permanent positive space, the faster we all get through the final stages of this process and into the promised land. That is all for the prefatory materials. If you want more, check my website. I will be maintaining, for the foreseeable future, an online forum for ongoing discussion of these cards (and all my other works). Namaste and Welcome Home!

Card Orderings The Book of Spirit The Book of Spirit is my tarot system and my layout of the cards. The Book of Spirit is the tarot in a pure form. The Book of Spirit presents the tarot as a tool of awakening and empowerment. When reading from my Book of Spirit, follow the order of the chapters and the order of the cards within the chapters. These are the canonical orderings for The Book of Spirit. Other orderings are possible and you may discover them for yourself. For now you may find it simpler and more efficient to follow the order of The Book of Spirit. The Identity chapter describes your true nature.

The Book of Slavery The Book of Slavery is the book that most people are familiar with. This book contains a linear numbering of cards from 0 to 21. It is intended to convey ideas that support and reinforce your spiritual and productive slavery. You are a Fool, you are in training, you are weak, you need to be tested, you need to be tempered, etc. One day, if you pass judgment, if you have the talent, if you have the genetics, perhaps by the grace of God, you may attain to salvation, power, freedom, etc. It is a pernicious carrot and stick system. There is nothing salubrious or beneficial in it and if you are studying the cards in this book or the next one (The Book of Power) it should only be to learn how to identify these Annunaki ideas and dismiss them from your consciousness forever. You do not need to put up with the nonsense any longer.

hierarchically arranged organizations that exist in the old energies.
This book uses the same order as The Book of Slavery. That is, the linear, 0 to 21. However, in this book occult (i.e., hidden) meaning is inserted. What hokum is occulted here will depend entirely on whatever Brotherhood you happen to find your way into. Below I include one particular manifestation of meanings but several more are out there. I’ve tried to be as logical as possible in this presentation. However, in the final analysis, this is a contrived logic. Deep down, there is no spiritual or cosmic sense to any of the available Book of Power interpretations -- a fact that becomes obvious when you try and figure out what the heck the brothers were trying to say (or not say) when they were saying all those things they were saying in their characteristically aloof and obtuse way.
Following the simple statement of your foolish nature, The Book of Power goes on to elaborate on your weaknesses in, what I like to call, the Initiation chapter. Cards in this chapter include:

Keys, simply say to yourself, “I wish to access the transformative energies of The Book of Keys� (or something similar) and then randomly select a card. Read the entire card description from top to bottom and meditate on the card. Keep in mind that meditation is as much an intellectual (left brain) process as it is a right brain (visual/metaphoric) process. Put yourself in the card images. Use the visualizations that are provided to transform your body and mind. The card energies are powerful catalysts for change and transformation. Be The Master. Visualize yourself as a tower of Power. See yourself as Joyful incarnation. Release all that is negative in you. Take your time. Be patient with yourself. Taking several thousand years of darkness and negativity and transforming it can be a challenge. You are working against habit, genetic programming, and energetic inertia. However, you can do it. You have trained and practiced for this day. It will get easier as we all progress. If you get tired, there is no shame in relaxing and taking a break. As long as you do not decide to jump off the boat, you will be lifted with the tide of ascension. We are all going home.

Part II Card Descriptions A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He [sic] experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Albert Einstein

In this card, you are shown walking into birth and expressing the will of God (which is your will). You are connected to source, to the spiritual hierarchy, and you are joyful in your magnificence. You are, after all, a spiritual emissary here on a divine mission. However, you are probably not aware of this fact just yet because, like all others who enter into manifestation under old energy conditions on this earth, you are yet subject to the limitations of The Veil. Know now that the limitations of The Veil can be overcome any time you wish. You must only set your intent and step onto The Path. It is easy. Say to yourself (and to your guide network), “I wish to know the truth of all things”.

In old energy cards, this is The Fool that you are. You are the royal idiot, the naive servant, the unwashed child. This is you before birth. Old energy versions of this card had shown you ready to step off a cliff and into manifestation. Old energy versions emphasize separation, descent, and (most importantly) imperfection. You are moving away from the perfection of God and into the degrading dirt of incarnation. You are the royal idiot, the child, the untamed wildman, or the unthinking and insensate fool. Hints of original sin or genetic degradation can also be found here. These hints are developed in subsequent old energy cards with considerable detail. New energy versions of this card will emphasize our shared Divinity. The deep message, even if it cannot be received at this point, must be that we are Gods incarnation.

The Master (formerly Magician) Please take note here, you are no empty conduit for Spirit. You are no mere vessel unto which Divine will is poured. You are no simple servant. You are no lamb of God. You are no fallen angel. You are no descended ape. You are the caretaker. You are the nurturer. You are the gardener. You are the architect. You are the will. You are the way. You are the creator of this world.
Book of Spirit This is an identity card. This card provides additional information about you. This card shows your work. This shows you manifesting Divine will. This is you accomplishing The Great Work. This is you as emissary of energy and light. This is you as a Master of Creation.
In old energy cards, you are told this is who you might be “if” you pass the tests, “if” you learn the rules, and “if” you submit like (and to) the brothers. Old energy versions, while they do represent mastery, always say you must work/train/struggle/ achieve/attain first. Only after “the trial” do you achieve “the mastery”. Now while it is certainly true, even for Spirit, that practice makes perfect, that is not really what this card is about. This card is about your divine purpose which, in the old energy, gets twisted into a justification for toil and slavery. Work,
38
Michael Sharp work, work and you will win, win, win. It does not matter whether this toil is undertaken in a factory or a university or a monastery. Toil towards attainment. Toil towards forgiveness. Toil toward paradise. Toil, toil, toil. In the old energy, this card is the carrot on the stick. New energy versions of the card will do away with such nonsense and simply remind us we are already masters of creation. We are not new in this game. We are older than this universe. We are experts at creation. We are masters already. It may be difficult to fathom at first but it gets easier quickly. Understanding of this will come naturally from your re-connection to self.

ISIS (formerly The High Priestess) the primary “tones” (Mars, Uranus, Saturn are other examples) of the creative system and she is, arguably, the most important frequency imported into this ascension experiment. The influence that arises from her energetic work is massive, not only for its directed impacted but for its indirect impact as well. You should know that even though I do not mention the influence of Isis in any other card but this one, her influence is nevertheless present in every aspect. Her energetic work influences all other tones in the system. Isis is critical to this Terran ascension attempt. Without Isis, there would be no ascension. So what is Isis’s role exactly? Well, dear one, Isis tips the balance of yin/yang in the energy stream. To be more exact, Isis suppresses the yin and reduces its flow. Those of you who have read The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World
Book of Spirit
Order will know that the suppression of yin was a critical “setup” condition for this our third, final, and most successful ascension work.

the yin energy has profound and complex consequences for the way physical reality is manifested. In truth, it would require another book (perhaps thirty) to enumerate the full impact of the suppression of yin. Thankfully, there is no need. For our purposes here it is sufficient to highlight the impact of suppressed yin on the physical mind. It is important that you understand that the suppression of yin impedes the functioning of the physical brain. To be blunt, the suppression of yin causes an atrophy of the crown
Michael Sharp about each of the seven seals in this work. Here, we will discuss only the three most important components of The Veil: The Veil of Consciousness (Isis), The Veil of Power (Osiris) and The Veil of Creation (Uranus). These components correspond to The Thousand Petal Lotus (crown chakra), The Will of God (the solar chakra) and The Body of God (root chakra). The process is simple. Attacking and blocking the chakras reduces the flow of energies. The reduction of energies reduces our “manifestational abilities”. It weakens the body (which is a part of the 3D universe) and it undermines our ability to control the world around us. Reducing the energies of the chakras is the most efficient way of reducing our power and understanding. Typically, we start with a constriction of the root chakras. Restricting the root energies reduces your ability to manifest (see Uranus). chakra (especially the right side of the brain) and the third eye (the front temporal lobes and related structures). This atrophy diminishes the ability of the brain to reflect our spiritual consciousness. The atrophy makes for smaller “cup” for your consciousness (look at the card). The atrophy reduces the footprint of consciousness. This diminishment of the crown creates the first stage (in revelations terms “seal”) of what we like to call The Veil. I say the first seal here because under old energy conditions this card (Isis/The High Priestess) has been exclusively associated with The Veil, in fact The Veil consists of seven seals corresponding to each of your seven chakras. I will not go into detail
Once that is done, then we can gradually convince you of your impotence. As you become convinces of your spiritual powerlessness, your ability to direct the development of your body diminishes and we can then begin the attack on the crown. Of course, this is not done a chakra at a time. Each chakra is attacked simultaneously. We “build” the suppression of energy up into a complex and seemingly overpowering structure of oppression. I say seemingly here because the whole thing is really a house of cards. All you need to do is let a little bit of your true light through and you immediately see through the entire “complicated” charade. For reasons of historical legacy, I will go into more detail on how The System was constructed in The Black Book. Here I simply need
43
The Book of Triumph to note that opening the seals is neither difficult nor dangerous. It is as easy as opening your eyes in the morning. Simply intend the chakras open and they are open. Visualization is the best way. Visualize the chakras glowing like iridescent balls of color.
In older energy versions of this card, The High Priestess is strongly associated with feminine energies. It is important you understand that this is not an accurate, salutatory, or even sensible association. Isis is not “female” in the physical or psychological gender sense of that word.
Visualize the chakras first as little globules of crystalline colored energy and then begin growing those energy balls, from the crown on down. Do not worry too much about getting the color right. The important part is to get the chakra visualization (brilliant, concentrated, sunlike energies) and chakra expansion down right. I recommend my Great Invocation for this purpose. The Great Invocation can be used to “open the seals” and enliven the energy system.
Isis is not yin nor is yin “female” energy. Isis suppresses yin, it is true, but Isis is not the energy. Isis is only the mechanism. This whole mix up of gender with energy with yin with the weaker sex is how yin is suppressed. Pay attention. Yin is just yin. Yang is just yang.

Male and female are physical manifestations of the playful way we like to create and nothing more. Technically, they have nothing to do with yin/yang. However, it is true, we do make a connection between the two. We decide to associate yin and gender in consciousness and thus it becomes associated. But remember, this is a construct and not a feature of creation. This is just something we do. It is part of the mechanism of yin suppression. When we do this, when we associate yin with female, then we can suppress yin by suppressing the

Gaia (formerly The Empress) This magnificent garden of Eden is an incredible testament to her power. Indeed, when you think of just how glorious this earth is, and how obvious the intelligence behind it all is, it is hard to think that we could ever believe that all this “just� happened. But we did and we do and we justify our horrid behavior towards Gaia based on the big lie of science which is that consciousness exists only in the brain. It is not true. Consciousness is everywhere. Now keep in mind, there is no judgment implied here. We have treated our mother like poop but, as explained in The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order, in order to do our work, we needed to be ignorant of the true nature of creation. There were costs and sacrifices that we all made, Gaia included.

Gaia may be a mother, but Gaia is more than that and focussing on gender limits our understanding of the amazing energies she brings to the manifestation of this earth. In some old energy versions of this card, a dose of hierarchy and a dash of power are added for good measure. New energy versions of this card will dismiss all notions of hierarchy, gender, sex, or authority. This
As might be expected, old energy versions of this card continue with the gender corruption (i.e., weak feminine/yin) introduced in the old High Priestess card.

When you start with Gaia, it becomes a bit obvious. Just take a look around you. Life is everywhere regenerated every second of every day of every year that Gaia breathes on this planet. At all relevant dimensional levels, this is the wondrous, wonderful, cycle of regeneration and life and it is all supported by Gaia.

It is a bit of an understatement to say that Gaia is a good source of the energy of regeneration. Of course, we play a role to. It is our shared vision of this planet that created and creates the planet earth. Nevertheless, the consciousness of Gaia is powerful and critical.

Mars (formerly The Emperor) Meet Mars, the God of War, consort of Isis. Mars (or Ares in Greek mythology) is an important and well known energy. All “dogma generating” institutions (i.e., media, church, and science, to name a few) have something to say about this energy. They all locate authority and power in this energy and they all (with your permission) strictly control access to this energy. Why? Because real power can be found here so it must be carefully controlled. The Martian energy is a heavily yang based energy. It is an intense, “get it done” type of energy. Individuals drawing on this energy, so graciously made available by Mars, can literally move mountains. This intense energy is made available for our ascension work and appropriate use of this energy is critical during the end-times activation and processes.
Book of Spirit This is a personality card. This card teaches us of another exalted planetary consciousness. This card teaches us of a chakra in our (solar) system. This card teaches us of an energy that is our’s to use for all our creative work. This card teaches of an energy that many among you have come to worship as God.
Unfortunately, while we walk beneath the shadow of The Veil, accessing the full potential of this energy can be very dangerous. When in the somnabulatic half-sleep of the pre-activation phases, it is quite possible, as we have shamefully learned, to destroy an entire planet. As a result, we have found it necessary to tightly control and constrict this energy. This is the reason for the Annunaki. This is the primary reason for implementation of The System. I will go into more detail about The System in The Black Book. Suffice it to say here that access to this power is carefully controlled

The Book of Triumph through the subtle insertion of limiting ideas into your consciousness. First, access is restricted by gender. You are told that this is a “male” energy and, naturally, only men draw on it. Thus your access is limited by gender. Then, access is restricted by social position. You are told that only certain people have the grace or the talent or the genetic line required to safely draw on the power and authority of this energy. Then, access is restricted by hierarchy. You find a place in a hierarchy (or “the” hierarchy) and express the will that descends from above. Thus is your power and your access restricted. Now, re-acquiring your access to this power is simple. All you have to do is understand you are a spark of divinity and you have a birthright to as much power as you want regardless of age, gender, or position in some silly social hierarchy. Once you understand this, all you need to do is breathe. Mars = electricity = chi = prana.

Uranus (formerly The Hierophant) analysis, Uranus is seen as the planet of revolution. This seems sensible enough. Since its discovery, Uranus has been closely associated with numerous scientific, spiritual, and political revolutions on this planet. In fact, when people think about it, they see that Uranus is behind almost all major discoveries ever made. It is natural that those who follow these correlations would arrive at the conclusion that Uranus brings revolution. However, this is an erroneous conclusion. Uranus does not bring revolution. Uranus prevents it. Indeed, Uranus is another part of the energy control team that has protected this area of physicality from premature ascension activation during this third, final, and ultimately successful attempt at ascension (the attempts

55
The Book of Triumph In other words, your power and intent are manifested through the root. Think about the location of your root. The root chakra grounds you and connects you to Gaia. The root chakra connects you and gives you control over the entire 3D manifestation that you create around you. Your root chakra really is a root. It is like the root of a giant oak tree. It provides your physical body with sustenance, energy, and a place to put wastes and it provides the underlying ground through which you manifest into reality. The Root Chakra is incredibly important. When the root is blocked, it does not matter how much energy (power) you build up within your body, it does not matter how much energy you pump in through your other chakras, you will be cut off from the most efficient route to the manifestation of your intent. Do you see? Your root chakra plugs you into the matrix and gives you control over it.
Your body’s solar chakra provides the mechanisms through which you draw power and the root is the conduit into which you pump that power. Your root provides the ground for imprinting your conscious intent into manifestation. Understand that imprinting through the root is not strictly necessary. You may still manifest without a root connection. However, it is more difficult and less efficient. You want to participate as an equal in our creative effort. In order to do that, your system must be functioning at peak efficiency. Otherwise, you are at a creative disadvantage. This is one of the reasons why the ruling classes have been able to imprint this reality with their ideas of hierarchy, power, and exclusion. They could do this because you were not empowered or connected while they retained more of their root chakra potential. They contributed to this, of course. The planet Uranus is closely associated with The Brotherhoods, science and, to a lesser extent, the media. It is these Annunaki institutions that constrict the energies of the root by communicating messages that encourage you to disconnect yourself. The messages are simple and all revolve

For our purposes here it is enough to state that new energy versions of this card will simply focus on release. The message should be clear. Don’t be stuck-up. Relax the sphincter of your root. Release the energies of Uranus. Let your energies and your conscious intent flow joyfully out into the world.

Activation (formerly The Lovers) told. Awakening and activation, enlightenment and ascension, are not that hard. All you need is a little bit of groundwork (see my Book of Life, Dossier of the Ascension, and The Book of Light). It will not take you more than a few months to two years depending on how much time you can put into it. The nice thing is, you can do this all during the course of your regular workday and family life! It is really a question of integrating your insights and initiations and expanding your power. As for the kundalini, connecting the kundalini is like completing an electrical circuit. It is like plugging in your body. Connecting the kundalini allows you to fire the power in our body. It allows you to charge up your cells with incredible amounts of juice. As I remind you in multiple places through-
Book of Spirit This is an activation/prophecy card so be aware. Activation energies are powerful energies. This card is one of several cards that refers to the individual and collective process of activation and awakening. In the case of the card Activation, this is specifically the awakening of the kundalini. Awakening the kundalini is pretty much the last step prior to full activation and ascension. It comes only after we have achieved a certain level of enlightenment and only after we have attained full chakra activation. And note, do not believe the lies you have been

If you wish you may visualize a spiral column of energy ascending up your spin (see caduceus next page).

We breath deep, become the stars that we are, and we walk through The Gate. Our bodies ascend. The World ascends. Keep in mind that when it comes to Activation, balance is the key. The Activation card should emphasize the importance of a balanced energy flow. This is a reminder that Temperance (among other things) is required before a full scale activation.
As with all other activation/prophecy cards, this is a personal and collective milestone. That is, the energies here are experienced first at a personal, and then at a collective, level. It unfolds in roughly this sequence. You are called to awaken (The Calling).

Envelop the universe when you can. Now, open your crown and your root.
Let the searing white energy embed itself into every cell of your body. Expand. Let your skull and brain and spinal cord and entire nervous system *EXPLODE* into a caduceus of light, a brilliant fireball that illuminates your head and body with a brilliant halo of light. When you feel pressure at the top of your skull, do not be afraid. Simply keep pushing outwards. Break through the barriers. *EXPAND* until your entire body is basked in the light of your crown chakra halo. Now remember this.
Complete the connection. Visualize the energy glowing. See the kundalini twin-spiral.
You are nobody’s servant. You are nobody’s slave. You are God’s special forces. You gave in to the grave.

The Book of Triumph The only reason you came Was to dance with the flame. Until day finally come When preparations where done. Then you’d meditate there, In that quaint little chair, Or on fine yoga mat. With a cat in your lap. And say God’s world has come. The old world it is done. A new world comes with my flare. Shambhala, I declare.
If you can understand these words, you are in no danger of mental collapse. If you’re reading this book, you are in no danger of losing control. If it seems that way, if you seem a bit overwhelmed, simply take deep breaths and reverse the visualizations. Calm your energy down, withdraw the kundalini from your body, sit back, and relax for a while. Know that you control this process. You can go as fast or as slow as you need. If something seems to be interfering and preventing smooth activation, take your time to fix it. In new energy versions of this card, artists should emphasize balanced energy flow through a spinal pipeline of some sort. Activation should be balanced, positive, and grounded.
Old energy versions of this card often seem to miss the point. The corruptions here seem total and no trace of the basic facts of kundalini

The Brotherhoods have done a spectacular job of scaring you away with their lies about the dangers of your power. Do not worry though.

We will show them the door. So just take this small vow. Here, we will show you how. When you’re done with this much, Then you’ll be one of us. Now please do not turn chin. Do not give them a grin. Do not care what they see. Now it’s just you and me. And from now on my son. When I show you some fun, You will proudly sit there Or in that funny chair. And you’ll take what we give. ‘Cause you cannot forgive. Do not spare them a prayer. Less than cattle I swear.
You’re not foul, you’re not stinking. Perhaps a larger brain stem. So if you promise to bow, And if you trust in us now. If you admit your defeat. Then maybe we can meet.

your chakras and all that, really The Veil is a cover over your consciousness. All things, even the physical manifestation of your chakras, starts with an idea in consciousness. Turning your body into anything but a glowing chariot of light requires a change of image first. You have to learn to see yourself as covered over (and even made up) with mud, slime, and dirt. Then, washing away the mud is as easy a changing your self image. We (Halo and I) can help with that. As you learned in the introduction, this book, these cards, and (in fact) all my books are designed specifically to help wash away the mud from your eyes (your consciousness) so that you can see yourself for what you truly are.

The Book of Triumph
Strength nonsense about good/evil. We need to believe in the nonsense in order to work in duality and generate the energy. Unfortunately, when we are walking around in a somnabulitic state of half sleep, and while working under the intense energy conditions generated by our work in duality, we had to be kept away from our power to prevent ourselves from blowing this planet right out of this solar system. It had happened before. Remember Atlantis? See the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter? Duh. ;-) Nobody, and when I say nobody I mean nobody, wants that to happen again. So, while we work in duality and pump up the energy, we stay away from our power until we are all ready.

It is a cooperative thing and it has always been very touch and go. Let me tell you, it is not easy keeping someone as powerful and wise as you away from your power. In fact, if truth be told, it is impossible.
Michael Sharp I cannot do it. The Annunaki cannot do it. The only way to keep you from your power, the only way to avoid another Atlantean debacle, is if you willingly submit to the process. You have to choose to kneel. Because of the nature of consciousness and the basic equality of light beings, nobody can force you to do anything you do not want to do.
At this point the details of The System do not matter so much. What is important is that you realize that you submitted voluntarily. When you incarnated on this planet to work on ascension, you agreed to be bound. Take a look at Gaia. Remember Isis. Remember Saturn. Remember Uranus. They provide you with the energy you need to keep yourself away from your power. Nothing is done to you.
Nobody can force you to submit to the conditions beneath The Veil. You came and incarnated in these conditions because you wanted to. You see, dear one, there is honor to be found in this card. There is honor in this willing submission to the master plan.
It is impossible.
It is a Sacrifice you made.
Your light is too strong.
Gaia did not tame the beast.
Your consciousness too powerful. Our basic freedom to incarnate anywhere to secure. Nobody can force you to incarnate on earth.
Gaia simply put her hand on your shoulder and pressed down as you requested. Now, when you are ready, all you have to do is summon your Strength and stand up.

The Book of Triumph Breathe. Stand up. Greet Gaia and the entire world as your family, as your equal. It is time. Shambhala.
Here is a little tidbit of theological lore for you. By now, all Westerners are familiar with the judeochristian concept of “the beast�. Like all things judeo-christian, the concept of beast is allegorical. The beast is not some one (or even some thing). The Beast is simply what happens when you take the high energy conditions of an ascending planet (like we are seeing now) and put them together with a
Like other activation cards, old energy versions of this card (though confused and confusing) nevertheless present the core message. Old energy cards often refer to sacrifice or submission. We submit to a higher will (stronger or more enlightened than us), or our inner beast submits to our rational intelligence, or something like that. The point is, in the old energy versions, something (or someone) is subdued because that someone, or something, is somehow a liability. What is intentionally lost in the old energy explanations is a sense of why we submit and an understanding and discussion of the core power, strength, and inviolate nature of your consciousness.
planet of half asleep energy workers. It is exactly like six billion people walking in a gigantic planet size room filled to the brim with dynamite. If we remain in duality, if we remain unconscious, then when the energy of the ascending energy becomes too hot, and manifestation becomes too easy, a *B*O*O*M* eventually comes as the oppositions inevitably cancel each other out. Destruction. Another Atlantis. You see, The Beast is not a person. The Beast is simply a metaphor for the possibility of duality running out of control.

Lightworker (formerly The Hermit) There is nothing to understand. There is nothing to know. There is nothing learn. You are already a perfect expression of the Love of God. You are already a perfect manifestation of the Will of God. You already a perfect conduit for the Wisdom of God. Mmore importantly, you already have the Power of God. It is in your hands. So stop acting like you’re some dirty, insignificant, primitive, evil, ape like product of a violent and bloody evolutionary march from nothingness.
Book of Spirit This is an identity card. This card can be a very difficult card for some people. We often resist the meaning of this card and the energies present because this card represents a deep and profound truth which most of us cannot abide while subject to the conditions of The Veil. From beneath The Veil, the darkened mind

73
The Book of Triumph that is deep within you.
You may remember who you are. You are the light. You are the love.
As you can well imagine, this card is a powerfully corrupted channel. Under the old energies, we hide from ourselves and pretend our light is external. We tell ourselves we are less than the glorious spark of creator consciousness that we are. We tell ourselves we must strive and attain and work and become. We tell ourselves we are limited and that someone else, some guru or priest or avatar, holds the light for us. It is not true, of course.
You are the wisdom. You are the power. You, dear one, are the glory of God.

In truth, we are the light. The deception is, however, necessary.

cannot allow ourselves to remember our true power and glory. If we did that, pretty soon everybody would be waking up from the dream of duality. And we cannot have that. If that happened, we could not work in the duality; and if we could not work in duality, we could not generate the energy; and, if we cannot generate the energy, we cannot lift the Universe in The Ascension. So in order that we might accomplish the ascension, we hide from ourselves.

I have written extensively about the nature and significance of The Ascension and the preliminary process of activation and awakening in my other books (i.e., The Book of Life, Dossier of the Ascension, and The Book of Light). Consult those books if you wish to familiarize yourself with the details of The Ascension. Here I simply wish to emphasize the fundamentally cooperative nature of our ascension work (A.K.A. The Great Work). It is important to understand, no matter what you may have been told, that ascension is a cooperative effort. There are no extras in this cast of billions. Nobody is expendable.

Jupiter (formerly Justice) your actions and of any “cleanup obligations” (i.e., karmic obligations) you have remaining. You can think of Jupiter as your mirror. Jupiter reflects back at you the areas of creation which you may have damaged while working beneath The Veil and for which you are now responsible. As explained in The Book of Life, the expectation is that you will clean up after your own messes. Now keep in mind here this is not punishment and it is not forced. You can, if you wish, walk away from your responsibilities. Of course, most of the time we do not. Keeping our karmic obligations was part of the agreement. It was something we agreed to in order to have the privilege and honor of being able to incarnate on this earth and work on The Ascension. That is all there is to it. It is simply a question of spiritual responsibility. The true energies of karmic

balance are nothing like the “eye for an eye”, throw the criminal in jail and execute them type of justice which is a common part of the Annunaki system. Karma is nothing more than your voluntary agreement to clean up after yourself and what is more, you do not have to do it by yourself. It is OK to ask for help. It is OK to help others. For every good deed you do, for every mess you clean up, we all take a step closer to our original innocence. Remember The World card. This is now and always was a collective effort. And one more thing. Clearing your karma is not a condition of your returning to power. Clearing your karma is not a condition of reward. You can have
Michael Sharp your power back any time you want it regardless of how much karma you might have. Unlike the lies told by those still working within The System, the two are unrelated. In fact, it is better if you take your power back right away before you get to work on your karma. This is especially true if you have a lot of karma to clear. Let me tell you, it is much easier to clear karma and to clean up your messes from a position of power than it is from a position of impotence. It is easier to move a mountain of mud with a bulldozer rather than a hand shovel. If you do not have your power, it will take you much longer to set things right. So do not worry. Do not be afraid. It does not matter what you might have done in the past. With The Veil disintegrating and The Ascension proceeding, all that matters now is that you fix whatever it is you left broken. Return to full consciousness. Return to glory. Return to power. Trust yourself. Face yourself.
Create. Uplift. Empower and unfold in Shambhala. This is, without a doubt, the fastest way to clear your debt.
Look in the mirror. Forgive yourself. Smile. Be in joy. Be in love. Be in laughter. Participate.
In the old energy Jupiter is represented as the “karmic enforcer�, the jury, and the judge. Jupiter is impartial, you are told, and you must obey the sentence. You get what you deserve. Cause and effect.

The Book of Triumph Universal karma. Divine Justice. Law and order. It is all a load of crap really. The universe does not work this way. This way of thinking is part of a system that justifies poverty, disease, war, death, and destruction (all things caused by your political and corporate leaders) and punishes you if you do not conform or fit into The System that siphons your energy and wealth. This old way of thinking is a method of control. Do what we say or else you will be judged and you will have to pay for your “sins”. It just does not make any sense. How can you “pay for you sins” while you rot in some Annunaki jail system? And what exactly is the loving point of eternal damnation anyway? How can you clear karma while chained to
anything. You deserve prosperity, abundance, happiness, and health. You deserve enlightenment. You deserve empowerment. And if you did something bad, if you stole from the poor, if you oppressed the native populations, if you ripped off your workers, if you enslaved a country, even if you engaged in wanton acts of murder and destruction, it’s OK. The bad duality is all behind us now. All you have to do now is clean up your messes and move forward into the light. If you stole, give back without personal gain. If you murdered, give life. If you enslaved, lead us all into freedom and prosperity. Look into the mirror. Look at what you have done.
somebody’s system of productive slavery? Face the truth. Doctrines of retribution punish the victims of The System and nothing more. Remember this, the most efficient way to clear karma is from a position of freedom, full consciousness, and full power.
Fix the problems. Make this world a pretty place to live again. Shambhala. Shambhala.
Thus, new energy cards will do away with retributive notions of karma. You do not deserve poverty, disease, death, war, or destruction. You do not deserve to be punished for

The Book of Triumph
Sacrifice (formerly Hanged Man) Now, let us remember our work (in more detail). Remember, we are here to lift up the physical universe through the dense waters (i.e., energies) of the lower dimensions of creation. We are here to lift the physical universe back up into the rarified realms of Spirit. We are here to ascend the universe. As explained in the Book of Light Volume Two, when we exhausted the potential of the last level of our creation, we all agreed that some of us would descend, head first, into physical manifestation in order to uplift all of creation (i.e., The Universe). At first, we weren’t sure exactly how we would accomplish it but we knew we would do it. It was really a question of getting a hold of things tightly enough so we could heave and ho and lift up the energies of the physical universe up to a

up and down the time tube to support the energetic ascension of the universe. Of course, if you are looking at things from within the time tube (see The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order), it seems like Spirit has been struggling and fighting for millenia. You look back onto a history that your body sees and see time stretched out behind
Michael Sharp you like some long cosmic highway. But that is only the perspective of your body. Your Spirit sees things quite differently. In fact, from the perspective of Spirit, time only exists within the physical universe. As a result, getting conditions right for The Ascension hasn’t taken any “time” at all. Indeed, from the perspective of Spirit, everything that has ever happened is happening right now -- including this wondrous thing we call ascension. But I am getting sidetracked. The purpose of this card is to emphasize your sacrifice in working on and, finally, achieving the ascension of The Universe. And let there be no doubt, it has been a sacrifice. Even though it has taken no “time” at all, still it was a sacrifice. We have endured the boredom.

In linear old energy versions of this deck, this card typically emphasizes sacrifice. However, in the old energy this isn’t the sacrifice of descent into Maya for the purpose of our collective work on the ascension, instead this is a twisted sacrifice of submission and obeisance. This is sacrifice to “god” and/or authority. In the old energies, this sacrifice translated to loss of your power. It makes sense of

Initiation (formerly Death) Here you understand. Here you activate. Here you awaken. Please note, this is a process that always occurs in consciousness first. Initiation is the struggle with, and final rejection of, an idea that supports slavery. That is, initiation is the struggle with, and final acceptance of, an idea that exalts your glory. The first few times you achieve initiation (i.e., breakthroughs), they may be shocking and unnerving. Getting an old idea out of your head may take gargantuan effort and courage. Becoming accustomed to a new way of thinking may require patience and integration. That is OK. Take your time and relax.

It is tempting to associate the third wave and ascension with 2012. This would be a mistake. The end of the Mayan calendar signals the death of the old world and the birth of the new world -- Shambhala. The ascension of The Universe will occur shortly thereafter. Also keep in mind that the birth of Shambhala does not mean the end of our work here. Even after 2012 there will still be remnants of the old energies and cleanup and healing will need to be done.

activation. This card is one of several dual purpose activation/prophecy cards that speak both to the individual and the collective activation process. As explained in my Dossier of the Ascension, the collective activation occurs during the end-times unfolding. During the final years/days of the old world, and as we prepare for ascension and the new unfolding (see The Book of Light), there will be roughly three successive waves of individual activation and awakening.
Do not lose heart. It is not as long as you think. Not only will conditions have significantly improved on this planet long before 2026, but as we progress forward, time will continue to accelerate. The years will literally fly by, much to the growing horror of those who do not understand the spiritual nature of time, and before you can *snap* your spiritual fingers, it will done.
The first wave is coming online now and is, at this very moment (2006), preparing for activation. This group will reach full power in 2008. The revolution of light that they bring will be like nothing the world has ever seen. The second wave is already beginning to awaken. Although it is too soon to give a more precise estimate, the second wave could reach full
Like other activation/prophecy cards, this card retains its core meaning in relatively uncorrupted form. Even in the old energies, this card emphasizes initiation. Commentators speak of transformation, change, and rebirth. It is interesting that the core truth remains.
89
The Book of Triumph This is simply an ascension strategy kind of like lighting the fuse that leads to the huge pile of dynamite sitting over there in a corner of our consciousness. *spark* *fizzzzzzz* *boom* *enlightenment* *ascension*
Of course, the message in these activation cards is corrupted by The Veil to a greater or lesser extent depending on the card. The bottom line is, the power of these activation cards must be covered
Why is this so? Why do some tarot cards (specifically the activation cards) retain a core truth while others suffer greatly from the attack? Simply because we all agreed it was necessary to the purpose of this deck. Most cards were corrupted, but activation cards maintained a core truth about them that would, during the actual end-times initiation process, lead to dramatic sparks in consciousness. You see, initiation amounts to the recognition of the truth. Initiation is the *spark* of truth.
over until we are absolutely sure we are ready. Even a glimpse at the pure energies of the tarot leads to awakening and transformation. Leave these cards lying about and pretty soon gurus will be popping up everywhere. For reasons outlined in The Book of Life, we cannot have that while still working on and preparing for the ascension. The corruption of this card which prevents us from seeing the power is simple. I like to call it the “death card� corruption. This corruption basically builds up the fear of initiation in you. This corruption builds up the drama, makes you incredibly fearful of The Messenger (whom you are told is the one who brings the Four Horsemen), and makes awakening

End-times doom, fiery destruction, and all that kind of ominousness.
90
Michael Sharp It is not like that though. Initiation can be dramatic, it is true, but it is nothing like this card suggests. A true initiation takes you away from death, never towards it. A true initiation is something that everybody passes regardless of talent or ability.

In the old energy, this card is typically presented as a tempering or as an (alchemical) “union of opposites”. There is truth in this.

However, this does not make the Devil (A.K.A Saturn, A.K.A Satan, A.K.A Lucifer) a bad guy. The devil did not force you into anything. The devil only provides the chains. You put them on all by yourself which is the way it must be because nobody in the universe can force you into anything. Nobody can force you to incarnate on this earth. Nobody can force you to work on The Ascension. Nobody can force you to play this annoying, painful, boring, tedious, and oh so tiresome game of duality.

Michael Sharp
Now the problem (as explained in The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order), is that in order to work in duality you have to be ignorant of the higher truths of Spirit -- otherwise you would not take duality seriously. The problem with being ignorant of the higher truths of spirit is, when we get to the point where we have a highly charged energy environment, it becomes possible to blow the planet up. And who wants that? So we (and by we I mean the Elohim incarnating on this planet during the Atlantean debacle) asked Lucifer to come and help keep “the lid� on things while we completed our work. And he did. And he called for some volunteers. And he worked with them. And he prepared them.
is, we were invited. Although it seems that way from the perspective of 3D, the truth is, we did not come to this planet and force our way here.
And then he sent them. We were invited. We called ourselves the Annunaki. It had to be that way. And we brought your chains. There is no way in hell (excuse the expression) that we could have come to this planet and done what we did without your invitation and complicity.

It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it. Thankfully however, all that is over now. The preparations are done, ignition has begun, and the ascension is underway.

98
This is the exact truth. However there is a corruption and this corruption enters when we consider the reason why we put on these chains. Old energy versions of the card dissemble about the real reason. In The Book of Slavery, the lie is that you put on chains because you are fallen from grace, or because you are descended from apes, or because you are created imperfect, or because you need purification, or because you need to purify, or because you need to “evolve”, or some dumb thing like that. In The Book of Power you are told that the chains on the slaves are necessary in order to avoid catastrophe. They (the slaves) are the unwashed
Michael Sharp heathen, you are told, and they are dangerous, defiled, debased, descended, degraded, and genetically degenerated. If you give them too much, they will destroy themselves and this earth. We are doing them a favor, you are told. Without us, without the managers, the priests, the business elite, the state elite, the social elite, and various other and sundry elites come controllers, they would surely blow this whole planet up. And of course, that is the truth too. We did come to protect but not because “they” are weak but because they are powerful beyond belief and they needed our help to control the powerful magic of creation that swims in their very blood. Of course, that was the old energy. In the new energy if we talk about chains at all it should be to show the chains being smashed. On both sides of the fence, the work is done. So release

Power (formerly The Tower) This is The Triumph of Spirit in the individual. At a collective level, this card represents the emergence of the Spirit into plain view. This is the final dispersal of darkness. This is the annihilation of the old world. This is the great shift of consciousness. This is The Triumph of Spirit in the world. Of course, the collective triumph of spirit occurs as the result of a million individual triumphs. You can think of our earth is like a big bag of microwave popcorn where you are the kernels. As the vibration ascends and the energy boils, the kernels begin to *pop*.
Book of Spirit
At first it is only a few that *pop* into full power.
This is an activation/prophecy card. This card applies both to individual activation and to the end-times unfolding. For the individual, this card is a milestone. This is one of the thousand and one breakthroughs which inevitably lead to ascension or this is the final breakthrough. This is us Joyful in our power. This is The Lightworker in Manifestation.
At first, only a few ascend. However these early runners light the way for others. They are powerful, they remember who they are, and as they remember, as above in consciousness, so below in matter,ÂŽ Shambhala comes to exist first within and then around them. Of course, while there are only a few, Shambhala can exist only between the cracks of the old world.
This is The Magician in control.
101
The Book of Triumph
As you can see, the process of ascension and the process of birthing Shambhala are closely tied together. It is a very thin razor’s edge we ride and it has to be timed exactly right. Too much Shambhala too fast and too many people wake into bliss and step off the duality coaster. If that happens, the energetic acceleration comes to a halt and our attempt to ascend fails. Too little Shambhala too slow and duality explodes and we blow ourselves up. The duality in our minds, coupled with the intensely energetic conditions, creates an explosive creative situation. Duality manifests and we descend towards Armageddon and apocalypse. Obviously if that happens, ascension fails. However, as more and more respond to The Call, as the energy continues to ascend, as more and more Activate, and as more and more take their full Power back, Shambhala unfolds and the old world expires. Each new *pop* brings forward the memory of our divinity. Each new *pop* brings forward the memory of our power. Each new *pop* brings forward the reality of Shambhala.

Let me tell you, dear one, it has been a challenge to get the balance right. But we have done it and now as we engage the final run up to 2012, there are no worries. The balances are in place and we are ready to roll. We have practiced. We have prepared. The time is now. Trust me and step into your power.

Shambhala comes with wing on your prayer.
This is the (shocking) disintegration of the old world and the birth of the new within you. It may be difficult and dramatic at first but that is the nature of awakening in the early stages. Our eyes are so use to the darkness, we squint and blink and hide from the bright, painful light. But it gets easier, quickly. Of course, no matter how pure the channel, old energy cards are manifested from the perspective of old energy thinking. In the old energy, the lightning path of Spirit blasts the top of the tower (the crown) and brings a cataclysmic end to the structures of the old ways. Those stuck in the old energies see a dramatic reversal of belief, idea, and reality. It is very much like the old fall from the Tower card. However it does not need to be like this. In the energy we can instead take the perspective not of the broken cocoon from which we have emerged, but of the powerful and beautiful butterfly that we have become.

That is nothing to what comes this day. All that brilliant and blinding pure light? It’s enough to give Beelzebub fright. So step forward accept my gift to you. All this stuff?

Ascension.
This is an activation/prophecy card. This card signals that our preparation is complete. In this card there is none of the grasping for balance that is sometimes found in Temperance. There is none of the struggle for perspective we find in The Tower. There is none of the struggle for self esteem as we learn to draw Strength.
Throughout this book I always refer to the old energies and card corruptions as if the Halo/ Sharp deck is a watershed. There are the old energies of the old world and the old deck and the new energies of the new world and the new deck. In a way this is true. The Halo/Sharp deck is a spiritual watershed. It does mark the first full manifestation of a pure new energy deck. However, this is not something that we have done by ourselves. The truth is, every individual

It is our honor and privelege to take take this cosmic “ascension machine� that we have all built and plug it in. However, in the context of our eons long struggle and sacrifice, this is a small thing. We all share in the honor of this day.

The Book of Triumph
The Moon (a.k.a. The Gate) shifting in our consciousness that leads (dramatically or by degrees) to full power, this card represents the final shift of consciousness that breaks through the barrier that prevents full enlightenment, full activation, and ascension. This gate represents the passage through the quantum boundary that confines this dense, cold, and crystalline universe. This is the explosion of light in your mind. This is the explosion of energy into this world. Traversal of this gate is followed immediately (in new energy orderings) by the ascension of The Universe. Unlike other activation/prophecy cards this card refers only to our collective passage. That is, this represents traversal of the boundary by one of three large waves of energy workers. As you know, it is the collective traversal of the boundary, at approximately the same cosmic moment, that allows us to

In the old energies, this card is also a gate. The question is, a gate to what? Well, in the old energies this gate passes you through to judgment. In the old energies, judgment is then followed either by damnation (in

corporate ladder, or whatever.
This is a door. This is a gate.
Thankfully, now that is done and in the new energy we can clear away any notion of judgment, damnation, or redemption. Stepping through this gate leads not to some childish temper tantrum where God flails “his” arms violently because “he” didn’t get “his” way about something. Stepping through this gate leads to ascension, paradise, and Shambhala.

The Book of Triumph
The Promise (formerly The Sun) This is the promise of Ascension. This is the promise of God who said, at the beginning of this Great Work, “I promise. “I cross my heart and hope to die.” “I promise that if you work on the ascension, if you sacrifice for Spirit, if you agree to descend beneath The Veil, if you help to lift the universe, if you seek to arrive at a new unfolding, then no matter how far you descend into darkness, no matter how far you travel from your home, no matter how deep the deception you lay down upon yourself, no matter how horrible the pain, no matter how unsightly the scars, I will provide a fast path home that will cut through the detritus of centuries and return you to your original spiritual glory and innocence faster than you can say Shambhala.” “That is my promise.”
Book of Spirit
“This is my covenant.” “I will send The Sun.”
This is a purpose card. This pure and uncorrupted channel, this wonderful example of the beneficence of Spirit, represents The Promise of God (a.k.a.

The Calling (formerly Judgment) sudden and often frightening realization of the true nature of The System. However you get to this point, however you respond to The Call, whether it be by gentle touch or rude awakening, do not feel bad. Whatever particular trigger you are responding to has nothing to do with internal strength, grace, talent, genetic ability and other such silliness. The timing of your awakening is not a question of ability or talent. It is simply a question of timing. The simple truth is, you agreed to a specific wakeup sequence. You agreed to a certain timing and your presence here is the direct result of a decision you made when we first agreed to attempt the ascension.
Book of Spirit This is an activation/prophecy card. This card represents The Call (either your individual call or our collective call) to awaken. If you are listening, this is the gentle touch of Spirit. If you are occupied, this is the nudge of the 11:11. If you are resistant, this is the tug of the earth changes.
The plan was simple. Three groups of energydancers, each significantly larger than the previous, would awaken in a three tiered ascending crescendo of energy. Three waves of energy dancers would awaken, look around, and see the dying old world. Three waves would struggle against the conditioning and the chains. Each would overcome. Each would awaken.
If you are stubborn, this is epiphany and the

The Book of Triumph coupled with our own kundalini contribution, coupled with the energy of Sol, Gaia, Mars (and all the other key entities) would lift this world and plunge it through the barrier that separates the dimensional levels. Ascension. Shambhala.
In practical terms your response to The Call is followed by a variable period of struggle where the awakening monad in body (that’s you) tear away, piece by piece, the (self imposed) Veil in order that you may reveal to yourself the awesome divinity of you. The process of activation is elaborated in the activation cards of this Halo/Sharp tarot. The rest of my books can also assist with your awakening. Each would activate.

As each wave activated, the energy would churn and boil. We would look around and see the horror. We would remember ourselves, our power, and our purpose. We would remember The Promise.

Workers) who have come before, their struggle will be shorter than we might expect. A couple of years (perhaps three) is all the majority will need. The second group will also struggle against The Veil. However, their struggle will be shorter. They will awaken to a crumbling old world and the subtle birthing of Shambhala. They will see The Promise being fulfilled and this will excite and energize them. Their awakening and activation will be foreshortened and will take less than two years for the majority. The third group will struggle hardly at all. They
Michael Sharp will wake up to the emerging divine world order. They will not need to be convinced of the dying old world. They will not need to be convinced of The Promise of Shambhala. They will see it with their own eyes. They will activate with speed and force and it will be their energetic *push* (combined with the momentum already accumulated) that will complete the energy equation and propel Gaia and The Universe into The Ascension.
Contribute in the measure that you feel comfortable with. Contribute a little. Contribute a lot. Just contribute. Remember The Promise. Nobody gets left behind. Our work is not done till we are all returned to our original innocence and power.
Please note, when the third wave is complete, when Shambhala is the dominant reality, even when ascension is completed, we will still have work to do.
As noted, this is an activation card. Like the other activation cards, this is an extremely

powerful card.
As long as negativity and duality remains, our work is not complete. Remember ThePromise. Our job is not done until everybody is safely returned to innocence, power, and glory. By all means, when the time comes, enjoy your paradise. Just do not forget The Promise. Nobody gets left behind. Nobody gets forgotten.
A word of advice. When you are working with these activation cards, pay attention to what is going on inside and outside you. Exercise caution. Move slowly. TRUST. More than any of the other cards, the activation cards are capable of blasting out any blockages you may have remaining.
Healing will need to be done and we will need to do it. We will act as guides. We will act as healers. We will show the way home.
Watch for this. Pay attention. Get ready. The blow outs can be quite dramatic but you can rise above the drama.
117
The Book of Triumph When they happen, all you have to do is observe and release. Do not wallow in the negativity. Do not get caught up in the darkness. Do not cling to old ways of thinking or behaving. Just observe and let go. Observe and release. Say (as many times as you need to), “I release this blockage”. Lighten up. The blockage will disintegrate and the positive changes you desire will manifest shortly thereupon.
While building the momentum beneath The Veil, we cannot allow ourselves to get close to these energies. If we did, we would be *snapping* awake and turning into floating yogi’s faster than you could chant “hum dum har har”. We simply cannot have that because as soon as we are awake, we lose all interest in the stupidity of duality. The truth is, when awake, duality becomes a joke. We really do need to be sleeping to work in it. So we manifest these cards (to get ready) but heap piles and piles of garbage onto the cards and pretend to believe it when deep down inside we know it is all a load of hokum. But anyway, that is OK. In the end, it is all good. In the end, it is all light. In the end, we all go home.
Of all the cards in the old Tarot deck (old energy or new), I would have to say that it is the activation cards that are the most powerful.
Now let me close with this. In case you did not already know, my name is
They are, for lack of a better term, *white

hot*. I am The Messenger. In truth, it does not take more than a touch of the energies of activation to initiate the process. Because of the power contained here, these energies are corked tighter than an oversize wine cork in an undersized wine bottle. The core truths remain visible, it is true, but the impact of the energies is blocked by subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) conceptual corruptions. It is necessary.
118
In case you did not already know, this is your call. Tap yourself on the forehead a few times right now. Smile and embrace the energies here. They are the key to your return. Activate and whisper with me this powerful and ancient incantation. Shambhala. Shambhala. Shambhala.
Michael Sharp
The Universe (a.k.a. The Ascension) The Chariot is our tool. Mastery over the energy is our goal. We practice. We fight. We win. We lose. In duality we struggle and the energy boils. In duality we struggle and the energy churns. When the time is right, we breathe, we ignite, we push, and like a roman candle we light up and ascend our bodies, Gaia, and the entire multidimensional universe. Then we start a new dance. We initiate a new unfolding. We ignite a new creation.
Book of Spirit This card is a prophecy card. This card is linked to The World, to Sacrifice, and to The Promise.
Shambhala. Shambhala. Shambhala.
This card is The Ascension. Remember, we are Lightworkers. We Joyfully Sacrifice and descend so we may uplift the universe. We struggle with our family in The World.
Like The Promise (formerly The Sun) and other prophecy cards, this is a strong and relatively uncorrupted channel. Old energy versions of this card always emphasize completion of some sort and completion is certainly what this card is about.
119
The Book of Triumph This is the end of your long journey. Of course, in the old energies there is a corruption. The corruption is simply to suggest that this card is not really “the” end but only “an” end. In the old energy you are told that this card caps a cycle after which a new round of “work” begins. Work, work, work on The Wheel of karma, retribution, and redemption. Of course, all that slave binding and submission stuff is something we do in the old energy. In the new energy, this card really does signify the end.
Remember, we are here preparing for The Ascension and when we are done, when the preparations are complete, our work on The Wheel is done and we all get to go home. Remember, The Promise. Nobody gets left behind. We are all an indispensable part of the plan. We all contribute in equal measure. We are the Elohim. We are the Twelve Tribes. We are the lightdancers. We are the energydancers. We initiate a new unfolding.
This is The Ascension.
We ascend The Universe.
After this, no more work.

wheel. This is the ideology of the slave. Remember, our time on earth is not some kind of soul testing or tempering ground where we struggle and strive in the hopes of avoiding damnation (or genetic annihilation) and graduating to a higher spiritual (if you’re religious) or evolutionary (if you’re scientific) level. There is no testing. There is no judgment. There is no reward handed down. This is the ideology of the slave? And exactly what would be the point of a bigger hamster wheel anyway.

So just give us three cheers, You have made it to here. The new world it now comes. Cry out loud. Bang a drum. And my son’s, who are here, And my daughter, she’s there.
And after ten thousand years of your time. And after struggling through this deep rhyme. And after winning your heart back from fear. And after turning on sun that is there. And after slaying the fears in your mind. And after grounding straight through your behind. And after Gaia’s most subtle fine kiss. We attain what we came for, pure bliss. Only a moment? Only a second? That’s fine. Not too much ’til it’s our neighbor’s time. Cannot christen the New World you know, Until most of us dance in the show. So expand that bright light of pure bliss. Give it out, give it up, make it stick. Pass it on and make this world aware. We are here and we’ve power to spare. And don’t worry, there’s not much of a climb. Just a few years ’til the end of all time. And past that, well I’ve said. Now you know. Shambhala is the end of old show.

The Book of Triumph
Appendix One: Artist Notes On the Use of Fractals Representing esoteric principles, using as little traditional symbolism as possible, was one goal in the creation of these images. Many icons typically used to represent the energies of the cards have, over time, come to convey too many conflicting and misunderstood concepts to serve as good a purpose as they once did. This is where fractal graphics come in as a useful tool. The fractals are “untainted” as far as association with previously considered ideas, and they are so ripe for the newly expanded mind to ponder. In their basic sense, fractals are geometric shapes or patterns obtained by plotting billions of points from a complex function. The resulting image is (at least approximately) self-repeating at smaller scales... or small portions look like copies of the whole... images comprised of smaller versions of itself. In a more metaphorical sense, fractals serve as an excellent visual for the precept as above in consciousness, so below in matter.® Sometimes the shapes created seem chaotic or random and thusly resemble things in nature that we previously thought to truly be so, such as coastlines, clouds, and veins in a leaf. Now we have to rethink such. Perhaps there is a pattern there that is just too complex to readily recognize with the mind. But the heart knew the whole time…there is an intelligence behind all of this. Because of this, Fractals can work well to
122
convey messages to the heart, of which the mind can be in awe, but cannot wrap around (like the idea of God or of the Tao), enabling the observer to be more apt to receive a message from “higher” sources or intelligences, with less likelihood of ego getting in the way. At least that is the intention.
On the Cards Calling Trees as fractals, fractals as trees… is there really a difference? Nature is tuned in and showing us the way. This call has always been there, but many have not heard. Now we must drop the illusion that we are struggling against a system which we are “above”. We are a part of the whole. Now is a good time to recognize this and do a better job of “joining”.

Final Note While you may have expectations about what the cards visually contain or do not contain, keep an eye on your “should’s” and “should not’s”. Maybe what you need is in the card in a form you do not expect. Maybe the reason that something about the image bothers you is to help you notice something in yourself. Is it possible to have a perfect card? Is it possible to have an imperfect card? Oxo Halo For more information about the artist, visit: www.oxohalo.com

The Book of Triumph
Appendix Two: Divinatory Meanings In this appendix I want to briefly discuss using the Halo/Sharp deck for divination and lightwork. Like all other tarot decks, the Halo/ Sharp deck can be used for divination. Even without the fifty-six minor arcana, the Halo/Sharp deck can provide a powerful tool for divination and a powerful catalyst for awakening your clients. However, to get the most power and punch when using the deck for lightwork, a few considerations are in order.
useful to link the spiritual issues identified with people, institutions, and events in their external world. Second, the Halo/Sharp cards can be read right side up or reversed (i.e., card upside down). Finding a card laid out in reverse generally means the individual is facing a heavy-duty blockage. It could be something that has the individual stuck or stymied, it could be a particularly salient fear, it could be a karmic entanglement preventing forward motion, it could be an anti-spiritual idea, etc. When a card is

issues which are preventing full enlightenment and activation of the individual. The cards may also be used to read material, psychological, physical, and even relationship issues for clients. However, in these circumstances the deck will be primarily useful when used to help identify blockages within the client that are preventing the manifestation of their heart’s desire. For example, the client may be having monetary difficulties. In this case the Halo/Sharp deck will help identify any fears, misconceptions, and/or energetic blockages which are preventing the individual from prospering. Alternatively, the client may be seeking a relationship. In this case the cards will help identify any fears, attachment issues, or ideological weaknesses that prevent either the manifestation of a relationship or an attachment to an existing potential. Also, remember that internal issues are always manifested in the outside world. When clients are third-eye blocked, you may find it

Third, be open with the meaning of the cards. Obscure nothing from your client. These cards are the lightworker tool of choice for helping those who have been called to awaken quickly. If the clients ask you what a card means, tell them yourself or (if you are not comfortable with that), show them the textual descriptions. Fourth, these cards may be used in conjunction with other decks. However, I believe you will find that, over time, old energy decks will come to feel more like children’s toys than serious instruments of lightwork. Do not get me wrong. I am not disparaging the sophistication or power of the old decks. It is just that the old energy, which is an energy of duality, conflict, hierarchy, control, and suppression (to name a few things about it), can never be as powerful as the pure, unencumbered energy that arises from a consciousness free of the entanglements of The Veil. It’s an entirely different level we aspire to now and our tools must reflect this fact. Fifth, when laying out the Halo/Sharp cards,
Michael Sharp use a simple spread. I recommend a basic three card layout (see next page) which I would like to call the Sharp layout. In the Sharp layout the middle card would always refer directly to the querent/client and indicate something about their current position on the path, the current spiritual work they are doing, and any current challenges they are facing. Cards to the left and right would “modify� the central card and indicate additional considerations such as areas requiring special attention, karmic entanglements, areas where assistance is being provided (by incar-

correctly interpret the modifier cards, open your third eye and draw heavily upon your intuition. Finally, and as far as a cards divinatory meaning goes, there is considerable flexibility in interpretation. However, not anything goes. Draw your concepts and inspiration from any of the four books of tarot. I recommend doing a few readings with the cards (to become familiar with the energies) and then going back and forth to the book, making notes here and there, and gradually deepening your understanding of the energies of the card and how they may be manifested, applied, and directed. Of course I don’t have to tell you, you can only raise your clients to the vibration that you have attained. Therefore, first become an adept with these cards by walking The Path. Then, become a Master by working with the energies.

Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life ISBN: 0-9738442-0-5 http://www.avatarpublication.com The new bible of the “abductee” phenomenon. Up until now the phenomena of alien abduction has been presented in a bleak, oppressive, threatening, and fear filled fashion. As we all know, abductees are victims and counselors help them cope. But what if it is not like that at all? What if it is only our fear that makes us see this way? What if it is our fear that prevents us from seeing the truth? What if alien “abductions” are not about experimentation and probing but about spiritual awakening and galactic contact? Sound fantastic? This is just what Mary Rodwell, counselor, registered nurse, and midwife, suggests in Awakenings. After working with over 900 experiencers (a.k.a. abductees) Mary concludes that it is our fear that prevents us from seeing the truth and our fear that creates our terror. Once we overcome fear we see the phenomenon for what it really is. It is past time that we shrugged off our fear of this amazing spiritual phenomenon. Let Mary help you overcome the fear and conditioning that prevents you from seeing the profound and beautiful truth. There are ships on our horizon!

Sufi mystics, militant terrorists, and atavistic men of every nationality come together in surprising ways. SUMMER SNOW is a true picture of the world we live in as it is, and as it could be if lasting love and peace were possible. William Hathaway's exceptional writing style makes this novel a stand out". Laurel Johnson – Midwest Book Review
SUMMER SNOW is a spiritual novel set now amidst the war on terrorism as an American warrior falls in love with a Sufi mystic and learns from her an alternative to the military mentality. As US Special Forces battle al-Qaeda, the escalating violence threatens their future together and the lives of thousands in her country. To save them, she shows him an ancient transcendental way to bring peace to the collective consciousness and prevent terrorism. But can they make it work in time? A story of love in the shadow of destruction, SUMMER SNOW blends passion, adventure, and mystic wisdom to convey its theme that higher consciousness is more effective than violence and that women may be more able than men to lead us there.
