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...

99th Sitting 30/03/2016


This week we went back to having Liz in the open cabinet, me opposite her and the table in the middle.
We again used the shortened music CD as we planned to continue the sitting in silence.

I did the opening prayer at 8.35pm, turned out the light and put the first tune on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz found herself in a red brick tunnel like an aqueduct, an underground tunnel and she had to go through it to get across a river. It was very narrow like a rabbit hole; full of earth and Liz had to burrow into it. The next thing she knew she was laying in the earth surrounded by daffodils on the other side of the river. Above her was a white robed figure who told her these daffodils were the lent lily and Liz then realised this was Jesus. He asked why it had taken so long for her to come here; he’d been waiting for her. Then an enormous green van appeared, they got in the back of it and it was driving them between places. He told Liz that this was the place for planning and design. It goes everywhere but it’s between places. It’s for you to be able to plan and receive instructions. Liz looked around and there were tables and instruments for measuring. He said this is where you plan things and work things out, it’s a place you can always come to, it’s between places and it’s important to withdraw yourself to this space where we can inspire you and give you the ideas, it’s taken you a long time but you’re working with us now, you don’t have to worry about where the money’s coming from or how to do it just listen to our instructions and our ideas and inspiration then make your plans and bring things into being. Liz then found herself back in the woods where she wanted to be and he said this is your place but the green van was the salvation of the Earth, the salvaging, the renewal, the Earth cleaning division…

I started off looking over a five bar gate. At first I couldn’t see anything, just white, and then slowly a field appeared in front of me with black and white cows eating the grass. Then I saw the hedges around the field and then other fields beyond going on and on into the distance. I was then aware of a rainbow in the distance going from left to right and I felt I wanted to be underneath that rainbow so visualised myself there looking up at it sitting in an arm chair. It was raining but it wasn’t water it was like pieces of silver paper coming down. It became night time with a full moon which lit up these pieces of silver paper and I watched them as they started to form a shape, a creature with wings and when it became clearer I saw it was like a biblical figure, the face looked like Jesus with long hair and he had wings like an angel and a halo over his head. I asked who are you? …and the reply came …The angel of the lord. I then asked why are you here? …and he said …I’m not just here I’m everywhere but because of what you are doing in your circles, raising your vibrations and working towards love it can create an image of me and I can help you with the circle’s development and the development of yourselves towards becoming love…

Interestingly we both appeared to have met Jesus this week.

I put the music back on and we continued the session…

I soon started to see bright blobs moving left to right.
I felt a sensation on my left ear like something pinching it and a few light touches in my hair.

I remained fully awake throughout the session.
Liz lost consciousness a couple of times while the music was playing.

The music ended.
I verbalised that the music had ended and we would now sit in silence and that they were welcome to come forward and communicate.

Liz began to speak…

‘I’m still in daffodils and have a bicycle wheel, spokes of a bicycle wheel, a very linear tool for getting from A to B…’

After a pause I asked… ‘Could I ask a question?’

‘Yes…’

Me… ‘When we pass over from this the physical life, as I understand it we can choose to come back again, reincarnate in the physical, but I was wondering what other choices we have if we don’t want to do that?’

‘There are many places, many opportunities other than the physical Earth plane and these can be accessed and seen after death and there is choice, there is no compulsion to return, experience is ongoing’

Me… ‘Are there other physical realities that we can incarnate into if we choose to?’

‘Many… and some are already familiar’

Me… ‘How are they familiar?’

‘Accessed in-between waking, accessed from previous interludes in the afterlife. All realities are already known and contained and open for exploration. Consciousness filters memory and experience. The filter is shifted and then the unknown becomes known again’

Me… ‘When we do our closing prayer we send our thoughts and healing to those people that have passed from the physical but find themselves confused and sometimes trapped in the physical. I was wondering how do our thoughts and healing help them?’

‘Reminders like the flashes, echoes, triggers, resonances… consciousness can get stuck and needs a re-boot, a little jiggering to realign, to shift. An energy of thoughts from you or from others can help to trigger a shift. The energy is increased if the intent and the focus is strong. The power of the thought can increase the force and enable the shift. Regular sending of energy via thought can help, can amplify build-up and it can resonate with others who are also sending thought, they can be drawn to add their thought, so the energy is amplified and the shift can take place, it’s all vibration’

Me… ‘Are there many that find it difficult to pass over from the physical world to the spirit world?’

‘No, this is a natural transition and it is rehearsed many times during life, during the physical existence. The transition, awakening from sleep is like a rehearsal. No, for many it’s natural but for some, a few, they are stuck and that’s where help is needed’

Me… ‘What causes them to become stuck?’

‘It’s a habit, a fixation, a choice not to let go, to cling, fear, attachment. For many as they get close to death or the time approaches, letting go is natural but for some a habit of clinging is very strong and takes a little shift like the wind in the tree to release all the apples. It’s the holding on. It will happen naturally because a person tires eventually of the clinging and the holding and begins to yearn for something new’

Me… ‘Could the same thing happen when coming from spirit into the physical? Could a consciousness not want to leave the spirit world and come into the physical?’

‘Yes…’

Me… ‘and is there a way in which we can help in that situation’

‘To understand the fear, the reluctance, the ambivalence and it can be seen in almost physical posture, gesture, the child and adult turning away from the world, shielding themselves, half present half not, sometimes an impairment. Not fully incarnating can take different forms, psychological and physical but love and understanding can ease the passage of a person through their difficult incarnation and sometimes a person will leave early without completing the full span of their life. Some spirits do feel they’ve made a very big mistake’

Me… ‘Is that feeling felt in the larger part of that consciousness or is it just the consciousness that is incarnated in the physical?’

‘It’s all the same ultimately… Many, many seeds are shed from the trees and some germinate and thrive and some germinate but dwindle and some don’t germinate at all. It’s a lot of serendipity, chance but also factors of time and space and place but it all evens out and opportunities come again, see how fruitful the trees are shedding seeds, the opportunities each year, each spring each autumn. The seed that fails to thrive returns to the earth into the compost to form the nutrition of food for those that are thriving and will flourish and they in their turn are producing new seeds and out of that seed falling in the space, the same space in which our failed seed gave its life a new seed may fall again and thrive. The spokes of the wheel, the wheel turns and turns but there’s nowhere to go because it’s all now, it’s all one. Coming going is from a higher perspective evolution; we all live in each other’

Me… ‘That’s a very interesting way of putting it, we’re all helping each other, helping each other to grow and I suppose by helping each other we’re helping ourselves’

‘Nothing is wasted, everything is recycled… From the point of view of the individual things look black and white, success and failure. From an enlarged perspective it’s all happening stochastically, I am here there everywhere existing all places, all times, every success my success, every failure feeding that success, every experience is my experience, nothing is wasted, I’m everywhere in all times in all places. It’s only from the smaller perspective that this linearity of time and space, individual existence arises. From the enlarged perspective I am you, I am all, all happening in me now… nothing wasted’

Me… ‘It’s difficult for us to understand that while living in this physical world. We get glimpses of it occasionally when we think about things and in nature when we see things evolve but most of the time we feel very much individual and separated from other people’

‘You’re all held in me and in me all are held and the holding is me and the me is the holding, the me is you and the me is he and it and she and they and us. In the whole of my being success and the failure, right and wrong merge, all are aspects from the limited perspective. I am seeing gradually in so many different ways and my eyes are your eyes but my seeing has to be greater. You will come to see with my eyes that are all eyes. Unpenetrating myself, suffusing with light the intricacies of my own being, your own being, all being. There’s a flickering of the light, eyes open and closed, the flutter. Awakening is a mysterious and gradual process…  Imagine that each part of your body from the smallest molecule to the largest system like the brain or lungs were to become fully conscious, aware of itself, its functioning and its part in the whole. At present it functions in an unconscious way, imagine each part developing complete consciousness, each part of a physical system and then it changes, it breaks up and dies and then starts up again, an embryo. The process of becoming conscious in every part of this wonderful creation is a joy but also an agony, easy and difficult’

Me… ‘Does each part see itself as a separate part?’

‘At first’

Me… ‘Would it then learn to recognise itself as one?’

‘As the light increases, as the inner illumination and consciousness strengthens awareness expands to reveal the interconnectedness, the true relationship and those consciousnesses can merge so it grows to encompass from the one part to the many so it can retain its sense of its individual part but also its relationship to the whole and can partake of the consciousness of the whole but it can also choose to close its eyes and sleep, it can choose to withdraw its consciousness but conscious and unconscious are just two sides of one coin and conscious and unconscious like dark and light are held in the beingness of being that is beyond our understanding. Being and nonbeing, all in all and empty, empty and full’

Me… ‘Thank you for those words and very interesting answers to my questions’

‘Thank you for your questions… ‘

Liz slowly came back…

‘I’m left with the picture of the unicycle, the wheel going round and round, one wheel, one place, it’s like the sound of one hand clapping’

Liz thanked all her spirit friends that she had felt around her.

I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
