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...

103rd Sitting 27/04/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started off on a steel wire suspension bridge but then drifted off and came back with no more memories. She felt that things had been going on but couldn’t remember them now…

I started off in a fish tank dancing and conducting along to the music. I saw giant gold fish swimming around me not taking much notice. I wondered why I was there and decided to get out so moved towards the edge of the tank but as I did so the edge moved further away from me and no matter how fast I went I couldn’t reach it. I looked up and saw the surface of the water but again it remained out of my reach as I sped towards it and the same thing happened when I headed for the bottom of the tank. I then got the idea I should maybe do nothing, stop rushing around and just close my eyes and relax. I then got the sensation I was slowly moving upwards and I could see it getting lighter behind my closed eyes. When I opened them I was on the surface of the water and the sky was dazzlingly bright. I looked around and saw people in small boats drifting around. They were dressed in old fashioned clothes from maybe the 1700s. I then realised I too was in a boat and I asked one of the people close to me where I was and he said he didn’t know and all the other people then came close and they didn’t know where they were either. They all agreed that they thought they were probably dead but couldn’t understand what they we supposed to do now. I suggested we should all use our minds to try and move into the bright light above us so we did and as we did so two arms came down from the sky and lifted us all up. Each person went their separate way and I ended up in an empty waiting room. Nothing appeared to be happening and I saw a list of names on the wall including mine and next to it read ‘Not ready to be here yet’ and as I read that I found myself back in the fish tank again…

Liz had drifted off again so I put the music back on to continue the session…

I was soon seeing a few bright blobs in front of me and felt a pressure around my right ear.

I remained mostly awake but drifted off for short periods.

The music ended.

Liz then began to speak…

‘It’s started; Indra's net hanging with cobwebs and glistening, thousands and thousands, hearts. It’s a heart and it starts as the smallest speck then it’s a network of capillaries’

‘Heart felt… and I have all these gardening gloves, hard up… It’s the human spirit lost in its maze of cotton wool fibres, elaborate lies and misapprehensions. A human spirit still nestled there like a bird, trapped, heartfelt, it’s the calling. Now I see the gardening gloves, offer the work to liberate the human spirit, to release the bird, the bird of paradise from its cocoon. Need to cut away the long webs of delusion, of lies, of misapprehensions, trimming, teasing, unravelling. It’s served its purpose, its purpose was to isolate, to contain, containment vessel to slow down, to deliver. Why would you shield the human spirit, entrap, because it’s allowed for a transformation, for a curing, alchemic. In the crucible of the human heart, heartfelt, the cries, birth pangs’  

‘I have old Mrs Monroe, she’s a wise lady, she’s seen the suffering, the children’s crying, wipe away the tears. She says Christ came to show the path of forgiveness, the path of deliverance, path of redemption and the path of the heart. I have heard more cries, Marie Ann. There is no greater sacrifice that to give your life in love for your fellow men, to love, to help, to ease the confusion, to wipe away tears. It’s the way out of the snare’

‘Caroline, Violet…’

‘Tenebris, I’m talking shadows, in the shadowland when we look down there’s another world. It’s the shadowland but the time of light is coming, the cobwebs are clearing, it will come. We say liberate the human spirit, release it from its entrapment, get rid of the old schools, get rid of the institutions, deceit, open up the way for a new learning, learning a new paradigm. Feed my lambs, not with lies but with the heartfelt response to the cries’

‘Where are you going world, you need to ask which way’

‘Now do you want to ask?’

Me… ‘Yes I was wondering would it be beneficial to this physical reality if the majority of people understood the larger reality and understood where they were going to go when they died and that physical reality was just a small part of the larger reality where we are for this short time or would it be better if we are all kept in the illusion that this is really all there is in life and just to make the most of this life while here?’

‘The first… the first obviously but also important to treasure this incubation period, the incubation period for the soul. It’s a very special time and opportunity but it is best to see it in its context because the human spirit, the soul, needs to be born again, needs to immerge, not to entrap itself permanently. Of course it’s not permanent because change will happen inevitably but to see the larger picture is very important to bring an end to the suffering that has accompanied the incubation period. Is that understood?’

Me… ‘If the majority of people knew that they were going to move on from this physical world would they still keep their focus in the physical world and use it as a school for learning or would they be thinking more about what was to come?’

‘No, it’s possible to do both, to realise the transitional nature of this period, this reality but also recognise the importance of immersion in it without getting lost and entrapped and forgetting the larger reality. It’s balance, it’s the answer to the suffering, the suffering that’s caused by the ignorance of the true situation, the delusion creates suffering’

Me… ‘Do we not learn through suffering, is this not something we need to experience?’

‘Suffering is the result of ignorance and delusion and the learning is to let go, is to understand the source of the suffering and to liberate oneself, to immerge. It can have a refining effect in so far as a scourer can polish a rough gem and so the suffering experienced by the incorrect understandings and inappropriate responses can act as a scourge and an urge to refine. So in a sense it’s a learning devise and the end result is liberation of the human spirit. It’s like a crucible of transformation but it’s the pathway that was a difficult pathway to have been chosen, nothing is lost, all experience is valuable. We know how the alchemist turned base metals into gold, so it is with the human spirit but suffering is not the only pathway for some suffering can have a cleansing, a purging, and out of the suffering a new perception can immerge of what is real with the larger reality in which we all exist, the truth’

Me… ‘Do you think we are moving towards a time when more people will understand the larger reality?’

‘Yes…’

Me… ‘Is it something that is going to happen soon or is it many hundreds of years away?’

‘It could be sooner, it could be later but the threshold is approaching. It can be delayed, there are choices, there are situations but there’s help. We, the larger reality, what you call the larger reality, is working to shift the threshold and bring it closer so it could be sooner or later but that is the trajectory we foresee. There are those in spirit who weep to see the human spirit so entrapped and long for the liberation and pray and work with humanity to achieve this. There are those in spirit who love humanity, who long to help our brothers and sisters, our family, our friends, our self, we are all in it together. There are many who have broken through the web of delusion but who still stand by to help the brethren immerge, who wait for the rest to follow, do you see?’

Me… ‘Yes’

‘Because until we have all hatched as a whole we can’t progress, the next step awaits but the whole has to immerge because we are one another so those who have immersed are longing for the day, the liberation of all souls and like the midwives we wait for the delivery of our brothers and sisters and our great mother, she is assisting. We are enfolded in a hierarchy of being in a never-ending ring of love beyond the wildest imaginings. We are part of a community of beings and being held in the embrace of ever larger realities, all one, all immerging, each part dependent on the rest. You are not alone’ 

Me… ‘As I understand it, myself, the individual on this physical world is just part of a larger self and the larger self is beyond the physical world. Is that what you are, a larger self beyond the physical world?’

‘Both, all of that is true’

Me… ‘So do you have a smaller part which is in this physical world?’

‘Yes, in Liz, Elizabeth, in Nick, Nicholas, both of you, both of us, we are you, you are we. We are more than you, you are more than you. The boundaries blur and you have seen that the illusion of separate identity as you expand your vision, your awareness, your perceptions, those boundaries and individual cognition melt away. My thoughts are your thoughts, your thoughts are my thoughts and there are thoughts that belong to all’

Me… ‘During this evening’s session I drifted off slightly and I suddenly found myself in conversation with somebody talking about the sitting that was happening, just a brief moment. As soon as I realised I was there I suddenly came back here again and lost the link. It was almost as if I’d drifted off into my larger self that was communicating with Liz’s larger self perhaps?’

‘That’s how it works’

Me… ‘But as soon as I realised that I came away and back to where I was’

‘We’re drifting in and out’

Me… ‘I suppose with practice we can get ourselves out of the physical world and join you while we are still in the physical world’

‘Yes, and in this situation, this sitting, that is facilitated because it’s a dedicated time space in which you are allowing for that possibility. The mere fact of permitting, allowing, honouring this opportunity helps the larger consciousness to facilitate. If you were closed to it and so full of scepticism and doubt and non-belief and resistance then the larger consciousness couldn’t do anything, would find it very difficult to make itself known. Here we have resonances from many communications with which we are connected in this context and I have Fatima Medjugorje where the vail of disbelief has been lifted so the great love has been able to shine through and the calling from your brothers and sisters who’ve broken their shackles, who are waiting to help you all to transition, to break free. We’re calling and calling and there have been certain contexts in which we’ve been heard. You’ll notice that when we have surfaced, managed to call loud enough to be heard this has often occurred within a context of a religious framework which although sometimes a critical and a sceptical of miracles has never the less supported and provided a framework within which we’ve been able to manifest and usually through the young and innocent, the open and unassuming. Religions aren’t all bad; they have a place to provide a context but the fruit of the spirit as the true spiritual essence of religion will verify the fruit of the spirit is love. If the message is love, to assist, to help, to support, to evolve humanity then it will be known that it’s the larger consciousness speaking and not the entrapped and warped human spirit. When the message is hatred and destruction and division then this has nothing to do with us but everything to do with the entrapped and suffering human spirit, the unliberated. It is not the free speech of the higher consciousness but the limited distorted ramblings of a partial and entrapped and deluded consciousness that has not evolved sufficiently as yet and you see this at present in your world’

There was a pause…

‘The story of Goldilocks and the three bears and if you remember Goldilocks came to the cottage while the bears were out walking in the woods. She visited them in their domain and found she could fit with the smallest very comfortably but when the bears returned and they saw that Goldilocks had been tasting their porridge, sitting in their chair, lying in their bed and found her there, their response was a rather human response and they frightened her and chased her away while she took fright but because they didn’t welcome her, they looked to see how she’d broken some of their precious bits and pieces which is, if you see Goldilocks in the place of spirit entering in the human domain and the response of love it can meet resistance and that resistance can frighten spirit away temporarily. In the story Goldilocks runs away terrified but the larger consciousness of course isn’t terrified, doesn’t run away, it’s just shut out temporarily but it will try again. So for humanity look for that unexpected visitor and welcome that visitor even if it slightly disrupts the normal way of life, disarranges the bed, breaks a bit of furniture and takes rather a lot of the food. Be open to the possibility that that visitor brings a ray of sunshine. That’s a symbol of the Goldilocks, the Goldilocks is like the sun, is like a sunbeam entering into a dark cottage and we humans have been living like animals in many ways. So the true human enters into the animal like humanoids’ sphere and if it’s allowed can help to transform wild and inhuman beings into human beings by love’

Me… ‘That’s very well put’

‘So I think with that we should close our session now’

Me… ‘Okay, you’ve done very well’

‘Thank you, thank you for listening again’

Me… ‘Very interesting, I’ll look forward to writing it all up’

Liz was starting to come back…

‘I have Diana and Diana was a Goldilocks, she broke a few chairs and upset a few bears…’

Once Liz felt fully back with it I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
