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...

117th Sitting 18/10/2016


It was good to be back after our break

We had the room setup as usual.
I did the opening prayer at 8.20pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started off on a red brick path and then steps going down to the edge of a river. There was a boat house to her right. Over the other side were beautiful green hillocks like a golf course and Liz saw a bridge that reminded her of the Billy Goat Gruff Bridge. She found herself walking over it and then found she couldn’t go any further. She realized there was a troll under it and the troll was the deep fear that we have of crossing to the other side. Liz wanted to get to the other side where she felt all her needs would be met like the little goats that wanted to get to the other side to eat the fresh green grass but the wicked troll came out and gobbled them up. Liz realised she had no need to be afraid of this troll; she could just biff it into the water, so she danced over the bridge to the other side. She started to talk to people on the other side but suddenly found herself thinking about something that had happened today and it took her a while to get back into the visualisation. She was looking at the children who had yet to be born and this being of light was there, a bit like Jesus and once they realized this they knew they had nothing to fear, the source of all their needs was met, everything they asked would be granted. The unborn children were there as they needed to be continually touched by this being of light and be born knowing their deepest needs would be met, there was nothing to fear. Liz knew she could be anything she wanted and chose to be a butterfly before flying back…

I started off looking at a huge white feather swinging like a pendulum and sweeping the floor in front of me. I watched it for a while then walked towards it finding myself swinging from side to side with it as I got closer. I decided to climb up it and got to a point where I could go no further. The feather then started to melt away and I found myself sitting in a small boat on a huge lake. I saw islands full of trees and the outside of the lake was also lined with trees. It was quiet and peaceful. The boat then began to move and took me to one of the islands were I got off and walked up the sandy beach towards the trees. It reminded me of an island I had been to in another visualisation, there were people lying and sitting on the beach but they didn’t seem to notice me so I made my way along a path through the trees. Eventually the path opened out into a large round clearing and a beam of light shone down onto it which I walked into. I lost all physical sensations and just seemed to be floating in the white light. It was a wonderful feeling and I just stayed there until the music ended. When I opened my eyes in looked like the room was light and misty…

There were a few similarities in our two visualisations; we both reach a point where we could go no further on Liz’s bridge and my feather.

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

I soon started to see bright blobs coming and going in the room.
I then found it difficult to stay awake and drifted in and out of sleep for the rest of the session.
At one point I got an image of my phone and felt that the alarm was about to go off. This was a few seconds before Liz stated to speak…

‘I have the sense of a strong presence, feels like a head master or a teacher. He’s showing me a level playing field, it’s like an orchard, lots of fruit trees, some of them are a bit small. You have a situation, the tall ones are shading, blocking the light for the smaller ones so there are some stunted ones. There needs to be plenty of space so that this doesn’t happen, to create the environment for each. This overcrowding has a lot to answer for because it stops the possibility of the level playing fields. The current schools are not a good environment because they contribute to the overcrowding, not enough space for each child. There are those who learn fast and grow strong and they block the growing space of the others. That’s not their fault. So what do we need to do? Learning needs to start in the home and not an overcrowded home, a home where children are spaced evenly and each child is given the mental nourishment and space to grow and to learn. Every home should be a school as well as a home. It’s a true place of learning and then we have the special apprenticeship, large comprehensive, everyone treading on each other’s toes, we need small specialist training grounds. What we need is cells of learning, small specialist. True learning is dialogue, discussion, example and practise. We have to go back to the garden analogy, if you want to grow prize vegetables or fruit you have to give them plenty of space and individual nourishment, you have to tender them individually. A dedicated space is so important to get the maximum growth’

‘I see this picture now of pavements lined with gold, this is a promise. There’s a mistaken notion, a confusion where quantity is stood in place of quality’

‘All being children of the spirit, when you hang up your coat, your persona at death, a character that’s been played, all have the same potential, all the same, made of spirit. So why was it while on Earth, while in the physical some were stunted and some flourished and thrived?’

‘For those that understand it’s important to acknowledge the need to provide space to expand, not to gravitate to the centres of congested, overcrowded, nuclear hubs of activity but to spread out, find a place where the soul can expand. A soul doesn’t thrive amid the hubbub of confusion; the soul thrives when exposed to the full richness of a physical environment in all its colours and contours, spacious beauty, free flowing energies and there the learning and experiences of quality are given. There is no need to fear because there is a natural abundance of opportunity. It’s not in the vortexes of overcrowded cities and congregations of humanity that opportunities arise, the opportunities in these quarters are stunted and crippled and confused but spread out, go to the wild places, allow your families and children spaciousness, solitude, the opportunities to draw on the education freely given by natural environment, by nature, by the angels around you. They can be felt, they can be sensed, they can instruct in those quiet places but they have difficulty nourishing the soul in the cesspools of industrial hubs. Your schools that have been modelled on factories are infernos for stunted growth’

‘I have a lady here who has a kindergarten, don’t know if it’s Joan, she says brush away the cobwebs. The eyes of the young can see visions through imagination and dreams. I see this image of a brush sweeping away the cobwebs, sweeping away the old and delusional notions. It’s like an old welsh dresser, cups and saucers, a kitchen table, that’s the hub of education. Let that table be firm and strong and well built’

‘I have a bird; it’s like a dove showing me the way to peace and to a new world, a new beginning’

‘I’ve got Terrence; he’s looking at an apple tree. He says nothing would delight him more than to wake up in the morning and step outside to view this apple tree’

‘Cart or Carter, it’s a name’

‘I had a sense of straw hats and lilac and it’s come back as the cricket field and the feeling of the level playing field again and I’ve got the apple peel, the apple and the peel, the whole apple… Every good boy deserves fruit, E-G-B-D-F… Thank you Terrence’

‘Every good child who is born deserves fruit, deserves to be fed the fruit from spirit’

‘Sassafras oil, I don’t know if that’s Vajralila’s mum telling her sassafras oil’

‘I had this sense of a wall or ceiling of glass, I’m just asking can you get through, don’t want splinters of glass. Crocus bulbs, that’s saffron, that’s taking me right into this image of these Tibetan monks in a monastery. I’ve got this image of looking through a telescope, right out but what he’s looking for is here all the time but I think he knows the paradox, it’s like a big joke, he’s laughing’

‘Black berries, a tall person, I thought these black berries were for eating but this tall person has a small black hat, like a square beret. Seems to be fishing in a river, I thought he had a connection with magic but he’s fishing in the river’

‘It’s like these books, secret tones of ancient wisdom, I’m being shown there’s a lot to learn but it’s being juxtaposed against this simplicity of ordinary daily life activities and the deeper mysteries are hidden in them but we look in the arcane, the tones and the esoteric but in the simple task and pleasures of everyday life there is a simple wisdom to be learnt. I think that’s what I’m being shown by these masters. They wish to direct the emphasis away from the arcane to the everyday, to the inherent wisdom in the simple practices of living in the everyday world’

‘I sense the truth will be revealed in a simple cup of tea more easily than in a complex potion of esoteric mysteries… So thank you to all our friends’

I put a tune on to help Liz come completely back with it.

As she came back she got ‘Queenie or Queen’ then thought it could be ‘Quin’ who was a physicist and a spiritual teacher to Liz many years ago…

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