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...

118th Sitting 25/10/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

At 8.15pm I did the opening prayer, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started off surrounded by snowdrops in a garden with a low wall around it and water was trickling amongst the snowdrops in little rivulets going through holes in the wall. Liz climbed over the wall and down a bank of bluebells to a beautiful stream. She was entranced by the reflections in the stream and there were deer drinking from it. A kingfisher went flashing past and it said ‘note me I’ve told you this before’ and Liz realised she’d seen this kingfisher in many situations and that it was a magical symbol, it was telling Liz it was more than a kingfisher. Liz looked into the water and saw fish then realised she could see with the eye of the fish and the eye of the kingfisher, there was something about eyes and the eye was telling Liz that it was the bridge and the rainbows in the stream. The importance of the eye and the seeing was to see through the water and to be between the two mediums. It was like a glass barrier, like through the looking glass. All Liz had to do was look beneath the surface of the water or into the water and it was the character of the water like your name written in water which was no name. It was the seeing of this, of what we call the shadow land but as Liz looked through it she realized it wasn’t a shadow land but it was a land in which the normal framework of reference wasn’t there. There was a knowing of form in the absence of any form, you could almost create or feel anything you wanted and in that moment Liz created out of the sparkling drops of water an enormous cathedral with chandeliers of light. It was a wedding and Liz was a bride walking down towards an altar full of lights. Then she thought where is the bride groom? There wasn’t a bride groom, it was a wedding for one and ahead of her on a throne were a succession of eyes, the eye was not just the seeing eye it was the I, all the I’s and this wedding was a coming together of all the different I’s and Liz found herself being married to herself. She came to the throne and was a sovereign on her own throne, she’d come together with all the I’s and then there was a brilliant white light of sparkling diamonds which was the I and also the seeing eye. It was a reality that was not of the same framework but it was utterly creative…

I started off looking at an egg in an egg-cup and as I watched the top of the egg started to crack and a little chick popped out and jumped to the ground shaking itself off. It started growing as I watched and became a golden eagle. It was literally golden, a shining gold colour all over. It stood there for a while looking like it wanted to take off. I felt I wanted to go with it so jumped on its back and then I became the eagle and I took off up into the sky. It was very dark, I couldn’t see anything until eventually I saw lights on the horizon and as they got closer I saw they were like search lights shining out into the dark. Then I realised that they were people on the ground searching for information and understandings about what lies beyond the physical world and it occurred to me that they were searching in the wrong place. They were looking beyond themselves into the darkness but should really be looking within themselves to get their answers. I placed my wings on the ends of each light beam then descended down squashing the beams back into the people illuminating them and the beautiful scenery around them. I couldn’t hold the beams down for long and had to let them go plunging everyone back into darkness but I hoped I had given them a glimpse and a realisation that they needed to look within themselves for their answers…

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

It started looking light and misty in the room to me then I saw a few bright blobs coming and going and felt tightness around my forehead.

Liz began to speak…

‘A large wheelbarrow, someone pushing it, got the name William Harvey… Just before that I had the sense of all these people I have known that have died and felt this incredible sense of gratitude towards them all that they were there, it felt very real’

‘I’ve got the name Jenifer and a face but I can’t place it’

Me… ‘Can you describe the face?’

‘It was elderly, attractive, small, dark, looked Italian or Jewish, striking, fine bone structure, high cheek bones, short curly hair, not frizzy, becoming grey, thinish face, sunken cheeks’

‘I sense a connection of the wheelbarrow and William with pigs, pig sty’

‘Got the name Leslie and before that the name Nicodemus’

‘I’ve got an African presence, I’ve got an African face carved out of dark wood, ebony, it’s a book end. I sense the person is a woman, she’s smiling to my right’

‘I’ve got the name Sonia’

‘For some reason I’ve got a string of pearls and the image of stamps, lots of letters’

‘I’ve got wickedness or Wikipedia, something like that, ash or ash tree, got the names Sheila and Gloria’

‘I’ve got Heather and Arafat’

‘Principalities, kingdoms, heaven has none of these. I don’t know if that’s true or not… I have a kingdom of kindness and we have the kingdom of hate that is ruled by an iron fist. Which one would you rather have, the kingdom of kindness or the kingdom of hate, both can be Earthly in our dense world full of multiple kingdoms, the kingdoms of cats, kingdoms of nightjars, it’s like a hall of mirrors. How would you navigate your way through such a world of such complexity and multiplicity of kingdoms? You have a thread, a golden thread, a thread of kindness or a thread of hatred, you can choose a thread to weave your way through, to give you a reference point as you progress through the kingdoms of the Earth into the kingdom of heaven but you know how slippery threads are so you have to grip firm and thread that thread through the eye of your needle which is your eye so it becomes fastened at your end. Don’t let that thread be pulled through your eye or out of your grasp, keep hold of it. If you have chosen the thread of kindness you constantly web that thread every day and reposition your needle, the needle of your eye, the eye of your needle. Whichever of the kingdoms of the Earth you tread that thread holds fast, helps you to navigate, to make sense. In this way the baby coming into the world, it’s the kindness, the smiles of the mother and the family, those around, that act as the initial kindness and helps to remind, to grab hold of that to start. Never underestimate the importance of that positivity, that kindness, that goodwill. In the kingdom of the elephants we see how important that kindness, the kindship in which the new life is welcomed, that is a lasting thread and it sets the tone which is a soul quality, that sense of reciprocity, of welcomeness, of enjoyment, of embrace for each is one separate part of a whole, both a part and a whole and this paradox of being needs that thread of guidance to hold and remind the great mystery of togetherness, apart yet together, alone yet at one’

‘I’ve got Benjamin, capsicum, I see a pepper plant containing many seeds and each seed becomes another pepper plant and this goes on for years. I also see that strain weakening, needs to cross fertilize, needs to strengthen by mixing with others the old mendelian breeding intermixing for strengthening in and creating new species’  

‘Temperament or testament, taint… I have a feeling that what is important is not the purity of the strain, mixing is very important but purity isn’t in the physical strain it’s in the thread, the emotional, spiritual thread, that thread of intent of the original choice of kindness or hate. It’s that that needs to be kept pure, that’s the important ingredient through all the transformations and evolutionary twists and turns. The purity of the thread of consciousness, the sense of direction, of quality. The physical is not important in the sense of purity and strain. So that’s where the saying comes that the true family is a spiritual family but that has nothing to do with religion, nothing to do with belief but a much deeper level of connection to the original thread and we hope that the thread is the thread of kindness because that is the one that will lead to the kingdom of heaven’

‘Sassafras… that’s for Vajralila’

‘I’ve got Sadie again… I don’t know if this is a message for Sadie or if Sadie is talking, just God bless you Sadie’

‘Somebody’s trying to give me letters like an electroset, it’s reading something like ‘telepathy’ Got the sense of this wise owl, like it’s blinking, a bit like a clock, an owl clock and I associate it with Josette’

‘Got the word Austin, don’t know if that’s a name or a car, I think it’s a car, got an old grille like an Austin. Dickson of Dock Green era, crazy about you’

‘Conker, quest… conquest…’

Me… ‘Is it Conquest Hospital?’

‘Could be… Tides or Tideswell…’

Me… ‘There’s a Tideswell Road in Eastbourne’

‘Sweet or sweetener… Socrates… testimony, testament, testing…  Territorial Army… Southerner, southern, Sudbury, Sullivan… I’ve got a red cap, red beret... I don’t know what we are getting here but I’ll just ask for peace for this person and to look to the light, if you’ve died to look for the help to be led into your new life, find your way because there’s help all around and the light’s never far away, just go towards the light’

‘I’ve just got this sense that where we are now we are connected like a spider’s web to hundreds and thousands of threads and suddenly if we send out a pulse of light with the sense of the gratitude and well wishing to all those connected on the threads, there’s so many you can’t even remember all the names but suddenly that space is illuminated and the connections are reinforced in a very positive way. Just for that moment you become aware of all these threads, all these connections and whoever is in that network is isolated, feels unconnected for the moment you send out that pulse of light they’re not alone, they sense the presence of all the other connections and that is a help, it can trigger the network to operate on their behalf, it’s almost an electrical analogy, kick starts a circuit running which will affect some change… ok… that’s over and out…’

When Liz was saying this I had a brief image of a car viewed from above travelling along a straight road with precise measurements written at intervals along the side of this road. 

I played a tune to help Liz feel back with it again.
Then I did our healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
