"All of a sudden, my hand started to shake. But I looked at it, and it's not shaking. I feel a tightening like someone has a vise around my head. I look... and there's nothing there. And I don't know what is coming over me"

Suddenly the room shakes, and a voice comes out of Harley's mouth, in the foreign language of Hebrew.

Sound like a horror movie or is it real life?

Well, meet Harley Monte, a self-described intuitive researcher and trance medium. He was born in Montreal, and raised in the Jewish tradition. At age of 33, he attended a spiritual service, featuring Reverend John White from Lily Dale, and since then, life has not been quite the same.

He explains that he does not physically "see", but that the visions are manifested in the mind's eye. It is seeing with the sixth sense, picking up a vibration that enters the solar plexus and then is translated in the mind.

He explains that when a circle is formed, the space is first blessed. This purifies all persons present and clears the vibrations in the room. Only then are the spirits of the white light invited in, particularly those connected to the participants. But no one spirit is ever called.

There are also "rescue" circles, where Harley sends an invitation to lost spirits. "We ask the spirits to come from all levels who are in need of clarification to their situation to come to us tonight." What do these tormented souls seek? He replies, "They come to find their way to the light." Most often than not, unable to go forward, they seek forgiveness. He once conversed with a guilt-ridden captain of a doomed submarine. His unseasoned crew all perished. After receiving reassurance from the circle, he was released to go forward into the light.

He goes on to describe a situation where he had been called upon to help at a shopping mall, where business was sorely lacking. He lit a candle and started to cleanse the vibrations. During prayer, a spirit suddenly appeared in front of him. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "I was killed here. I have to stay." He immediately explained, "No, that's not true. You can go to the light." "No, I can't. I have to stay here." As it was getting late, Harley said he didn't have time to do anything tonight, but invited her to his center the following night. "She followed me home. Sat outside my house." he went on, "There is actually a barrier around my house that will not let any spirits in, or my wife would freak." She followed him to work the next day.

Finally at the center, Harley went into trance, left his body, and the spirit entered. She talked about her sister, her fiancee, and the man who had killed her. He explains that some people may think it is his imagination, but his people are trained to ask questions that are not found in books, or things that Harley would not know the answers to. "Tell us something that we have no way of knowing."  One acquaintance of the spirit gasped when she heard the answers come from Harley's mouth. This spirit is no longer "haunts" the mall.

"In deep trance I do not remember anything." he pointed out.

I was curious to know if there was any danger in that. His voice lowered. Quietly, but firmly, Harley revealed, " There is always a silver cord that is so strong it cannot be ripped, cannot be cut, long enough to go around the world and throughout the universe ten times over. That is your life line. That is how you find your way back in." he continued, "I have no fears whatsoever. The work I do is within the realms of the white light." "So spirit has to leave?" I ask, enraptured by his words. He nodded without hesitation, "Spirit has to leave." A bad spirit once had come towards him while he was in trance, but his spirt, as if sensing it, sneezed and snapped him back into his body before it reached him.

Never touch a person who is in trance, he cautions, "You will shock their energies. It will take days for them to come back to normal."  

Asked if it went against his Jewish faith, he replied "not at all". This was confirmed to him by an Orthodox Rabbi. Harley was told that as long as he does not summon the dead or use a body paart, he is kosher.

He believes there is a counsel of spirits. "They have their specialty." It depends what you need. "If you need a plumber they will send you a plumber." (Move over Joe, you may have competition). "We have guardian angels, we have warriors who protect us, guides who teach us. We have a master guide that directs us."

Enthusiastically, he admits, "It is a passion of mine to talk about it." Now I understood why I found it challenging to interview him, he wouldn't stop talking long enough for me to sum up his story, clarify it and set a direction. But it is just as well, better that than someone who won't say anything. Like Amy once told me, wherever they go, well... that will be the story.

I tried to end the interview but then found myself with some interesting questions all of a sudden, probably because he had stopped talking. "What will happen in 2012?" I was curious. "The world will come to an end as we know it." He believes our monetary, government, and education systems will change. If we have a mortgage, we will have to re-negotiate, he laughs.

OK, so I couldn't resist. I had to get a reading done for myself. He told me a few things about the news agency I write for. A few adjustments will happen, but it will be fine.

He also mentioned Doug P, who was my one and only deep love. We spent an incredible 9 months of bliss! That was over 25 years ago. Harley says that Doug is on his way back to me. I don't know about that one, but if he shows up, I will let you know. The fact that he got the name right impressed me a lot! Long forgotten, I never talk about him, so there is no way he would know. On the other hand, I won't hold my breath, waiting for him to knock on my door either.

Oh, wait a minute, there goes my doorbell....
