​About us
​Welcome to our page. We're glad you found us here and hope you’ll stay awhile. Our posts are compiled by Laurence Oliver and Nicolaas Vergunst, authors of Out of Eden (2001) and Knot of Stone (2011), two independent/international publications that include examples of transpersonal lives spanning several centuries. We currently focus on the karmic trajectories of historical individuals and their soul groups, plus the impact they've had on our world. Our research is ongoing and presented here as work-in-progress. While we avoid speculation, errors or oversights are bound to occur, so your feedback is welcome. Please return from time to time for new disclosures and fresh insights.

This website is not aligned to any organisation or figurehead, either political or spiritual, and so differences between ourselves and others are inevitable. Discrepancies are also unavoidable when using various paradigms, but these can often be resolved by separating individual souls from group oversouls. For more background see Keywords.
Wherever you go from here, we wish you well on your journey.

What we share here comes primarily via the Osirian Scarabs who are our spiritual kith and kin, so to speak, notably Olipheru, Onesipheru, El Ochre and El Aurenx. The four are better known by their historical names, such as those used in ancient Egypt during the Fifth dynasty, or other names recorded in history. For instance, El Aurenx is best known through his life as Laurence Oliphant, the 19th century writer, traveller and mystic. He is incarnate again as Laurence Oliver today.

So how does it work? Well, like any good conversation, the trick is to listen well, to pay attention, and to remember exactly what you hear. They communicate clairaudiently and consciously (as opposed to in a trance or dream state) answering questions or sharing information. It is a dialogue in which we are the recipients, they the messengers, and none claim to be the source.​​ The source itself is the so-called etheric Akasha.
Again it must be said that we have no wish to create controversy or to enter into disputes. Discrepancies can be found among almost all claims purported to be esoteric — some genuine but many spurious. There are those that can be reconciled by looking more closely into the intricacies of reincarnational vectors — oversouling, conjoint incarnations, even imprinting — and these considerations can account for apparently disparate presentations of reincarnational identifications between different paradigms, but not always. Sometimes there are simply mistakes. Mistakes can be innocent simply because the channels, though well-meaning, are not infallible. Mistakes can also be mischievous, especially if or when malevolent entities interfere.
​
While we guard ourselves against mistakes and interference to a degree hitherto unprecedented, we can assert the authenticity and reliability of our disclosures here. However, we do not go so far as to claim infallibility, that would be arrogance on our part, and it be far from us. (El Ochre, 20 July 2025)​
