123rd Sitting 13/12/2016

We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.10pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise...

Liz started off on a large stretch of sand and sea like an estuary. There were lots of people around with green fishing nets on bamboo poles. Then the scene shifted and Liz was aware of a balustrade, a concrete or stone parapet. It was like she was looking over and crossing Westminster Bridge with lots of people around. Liz was then walking northwards along the embankment past a grove of silver birch trees with very white trunks. She stopped when she saw a boat with multicoloured flags all over it like Tibetan flags. Liz then found herself on the boat where there was a shaman, a dark Polynesian looking man with a bare chest and teeth around his neck. He told her these were tiger's teeth which seemed to be very important somehow. He then held Liz's hands and conveyed information to her. She was aware that the boat was travelling south which seemed important. Liz tried to think of the Buddhas of the north, east, west and south. She thought it was the yellow Ratna Buddha in the south which was to do with three jewels, the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha, the spiritual centres. This is where you go for retreat and Liz thought this was the message being conveyed, to keep being drawn towards the south to centralise the importance of the enlightened being, the drive towards enlightenment, towards awakening, the Buddha, towards the teachings, the Dharma, towards the spiritual community, the family, the Sangha. These are the central points of refuge for your life and your boat is steering on a sure course...

I started off sitting on a chair in the dark then the darkness lifted from the bottom like curtains going up and I saw that there were white and yellow flowers everywhere. They were blowing in the wind looking like waves in water and then they morphed into water and I was now sitting on my chair on a small boat on a lake making me feel a bit unstable and top heavy. The water was very clear and I could see the lake bed. I then found myself holding two oars so started rowing the boat backwards looking behind me to check where I was going. I saw a huge wave heading towards me like a tsunami which swallowed up the boat sending me into the water and I sunk down to the lake bed. I began walking across it looking at the plants and rocks. I could still breath okay, it didn't feel like water, there was no wet sensation just a slight resistance to movement. I saw a dark cave in one of the rocks and found myself pulled towards it and then got sucked into it feet first. I shot through the long narrow tunnel eventually coming out the other end finding myself on the beach at the side of the lake. There were lots of other people there but they were all half fish like mermaids and when I looked at my legs I saw I was too. This made me laugh out loud and soon everybody was laughing as hundreds of ropes appeared dangling from the sky and we all climbed them and started swinging from rope to rope still laughing...

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

I soon started to see bright blobs coming and going and they started to change into images of large chunks of ice.

Liz started to speak...

'I've got some strange images like a black beetle or a ladybird and then a swastika image. Then I got a Volkswagen Beetle. I got an image of a telephone so I thought perhaps I'm getting a message but I don't know what it is yet'

'Almond... fanatic...'

'I had a Chinese connection and the book the Wild Swans'

'Wendy... it's like a wooden box, looks like a packing case but finer wood, it's too open, handle cut into it. I have a feeling this should have been filled with books but it's empty'

'America... the name Tabitha and Christina... and quick silver but spelt k-w-i-k silver, constanation, dirty dealing, dangerous, confusion... colostomy...'

'Year end... Steve, Stevenage... stable, stabilise...'

'A missionary statement, a statement of intent, a time is coming, tabulate, testimony, indifference, dangerous indifference, a certain strata, society, televising turmoil, narcotic, numbness, blackout...'

'I get a feeling of Tony Blair... chewing the side of the mouth, a facial habit, that's Prince Charles... going public, pictures of boy scouts'

'Pearl Harbor, a lot of ignorance, a dragon's den sort of security, people's motives, people's plans, value, final edition. Sense of newspaper, a news blackout. Got the dragon's den again, this time with dragons, greedy, facing each other. Dragons hoard wealth, they know the cost of everything but the value of nothing'

'We have a world, use it wisely. The importance of talking, of speech, the power of proper debate, proper perspective'

'I don't know what it means but I keep getting the word... polemicist'

'I keep coming back to Stevenage'

'I got that tiger image again, fierce, predatory, reserves its strength, discerning a sharp tooth, that's a fine focus, walks a straight line. It's a truth, a true seer and the eyes of the blind will be opened'

'I'm just asking can you be more specific, I'm wanting to hear more clearly what's being said... Straight forward simple facts, being false fed false facts, steer the true course, ethical path, firm footsteps, the stepping stones are firm. Steer it towards the south. Serpentine and the truth will out, hold fast and hold firm to the true vision, to the three jewels, to the spiritual path and your way will be made clear. Broadcast, broadcast loud and clear from the heart, heartfelt'

'The message is the truth will out, that the importance of bearing the vision from the heart, broadcasting from the heart, the desire for truth from each person, the outpouring of that desire for true vision, the naked truth, the burning zeal of a truth, of justice that will penetrate through the darkest fog. The arrows, bring me my spear of burning gold, bring me my chariots of fire... Blake's Jerusalem'

'The sacred duty of each person is to lay bare the inner vision of the soul, to make manifest a love of the living God as is hidden in the heart to bring forth that which was decreed to be the human prototype, the sacred duty of each and every soul, to make manifest that which is hidden in the heart. So do it now, the time is right, the time is now...'

'We're over and out...'

I played a tune to help Liz come back.
She was feeling a little giddy and took a while to feel completely back with it.

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