This group began sitting in July 2013 as an experiment using the 'Basic Guide' published by the 'Scole Experimental Group' in 1996.

We've changed the way we sit over the years. I am continuing to develop trance mediumship and Liz gives a mixture of evidential clairvoyance, inspired speaking and trance...

Our intentions are to receive information that will help us understand the bigger picture, why we are here, what happens when we die, the mechanics of mediumship and how we can help in raising the quality of consciousness...

24th Sitting 19/02/2014


This week we swapped days from Thursday to Wednesday.

We had the room set up as usual and as always started the sitting with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz started off amongst plants and foliage at the edge of a lake covered with water lilies. The bridge was to her right. It was small, made of metal, convex shaped and painted white. It had a white mesh surface and the sides were like spokes of a wheel, all painted white. The bridge led to an island which had another bridge on the other side which was long straight and wooden. Liz felt this would lead her to where she needed to go. The island was full of water birds, flamingos, turkeys and lots of plants and bird boxes. Liz rushed across the island then across the second bridge where she saw lots of rainbow bubbles in the lake and in the air and found a beautiful place like a school building on the other side. She was greeted by children including a blonde curly haired girl who she recognised as a childhood friend called Jenifer Baker. She looked a little bit sad and was being looked after by a lady Liz had seen before, with her hair in a plat but it was now brown and she gave Liz her name, Freda. (This doesn’t tie up yet with what I got last Monday in the MLC) She told Liz she’d like her to work at the school where they were giving love to the children. Liz noticed the bubbles again and each one had a whole world inside. Then Liz got into one of the bubbles which brought her back to her side depositing her with a splash in a lush frilly leafed lettuce…

I also started off amongst plants. Mine were yellow like rapeseed and as I walked towards the bridge they got taller, or maybe I was getting shorter!!! They were soon taller than me as I walked along a narrow path through them. There were other pathways leading off the path but I chose to stay on it as I knew it led to the bridge. I came out onto a beach and the bridge which was wooden, short and painted white was to my left. I could just about see the other side before I started to cross. The sky above it was lit up by a beautiful sunset. I felt like I was a child and wanted to run across the bridge. As I crossed I saw a group of Chinese ladies with parasols. They were doing a kind of dance as they walked swaying from side to side. One lady was being carried in a chair and she lent down and handed me a book saying this was the first of many books that I would receive. I got the feeling the book contained much knowledge and after bidding the ladies good bye I took a peek into the book as I walked back to my side but found it hard to focus and read the words. I got the impression this book wasn’t going to give me any easy answers and I still had to work at getting knowledge from it…

I did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

My legs were getting very cold.
I saw a few pin-pricks above the table.
Liz saw a green light to her right.
I had the impression of a dim beam of light coming down from the ceiling onto the table, like a spot light on a stage.

I saw wispy bits in front of me and blue mist each side.
I got an image of an elephant in front of me waving it’s trunk from side to side.
Then Liz also got the sense of an elephant in the room.
I got the tune in my head ‘Nellie the Elephant’

I felt a tingly feeling on my eye brows and eye lids.

Liz got the sense of a character Dido from a book her uncle wrote called Under Plum Lake.
Then she got the word Violet and the sense of a deep crack between tall grey rocks going down a canyon, like a crack between worlds going into another reality. Liz wasn’t sure if Violet was a person’s name or possibly ultra-violet, beyond physical.

I had a fuzzy feeling on the right side of my head.
I saw a big blob in front of me with shooting stars within it.
I felt a light touch on the back of my right hand and something brush against my eye lashes.
Then I saw blue/green wavy streaks of light.

I felt touches in my hair and a fuzzy feeling on my right foot.
Then I got a fuzzy feeling on my left shin which seemed to wrap around my leg.

Liz got an image of a Moses basket.

I felt something brush against my nose.
I saw a few flashes above me and the room started to look light and misty.

Liz felt she had lots of people with her. They were people she had known when on this side and they were giving her personal messages. She got the feeling they were working with us, they were pleased we were doing it and told her we have wonderful opportunities to learn.

I felt a light touch on my right hand finger and a cool breeze on my face.

I got a vision of a large metal tea pot.
It reminded me of one used at a garage I worked at about 30 years ago. I couldn’t get it out my mind and kept thinking about some of the characters there, particularly a big guy known as Jumbo. (Another elephant connection)

Liz was feeling very hot.
She got the impression she was becoming a bird, a peregrine falcon, soring into the sky.

I got another touch on the back of my right hand fingers and a cold fuzzy feeling on my right hip.

The American/Indian tune came on and we resumed our Cross Experiment again.

Like previous weeks I got brief glimpses of a small black cross but my vision was soon filled with bright flame like blobs. I did see a dark hill build up and thought I might see a cross on that but didn’t.

Liz got the feeling the upright was becoming clearer but the horizontal was just like nodules, looking more like an icon, a cross with a circle on it. The horizontal branches were not yet formed, like buds. Then it turned into the many armed Avalokitesvara. Liz then thought of a Ganesha statue she used to have which was an elephant god and looked like a cross.

My feet went very cold and felt heavy.
It felt like someone was standing on them and it got very cold in front of me.
I got a name, Simon.
I now felt freezing cold all over, like I was in a swirling cold mist and I felt a few cool breezes.

Liz felt she was in a dense fog but her temperature was ambient.
She felt prickles on her head.

I got the phrase Brass Monkey.
Then I got an image of the three wise monkeys making me think of an ornament my Gran used to have.

I saw a salmon colour mist to my right.
Liz thought she could see it as well.

During the last two tunes I drifted off a bit and kept getting the number seven. It was something to do with seven states of awareness and I was hearing that we are in them all at the same time but only aware of one at a time but with practice we can become aware of being in more than one at the same time. I heard each one separates its self from the other by its own shadow.

When I told Liz she said it very much tied up with a dream she had had about colours, the difficulty that there are colours behind colours and we need to hold onto the white light and keep the earth connection.

The music CD had ended and Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
