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...

149th Sitting 24/10/2017


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 at a large estuary with a great bridge like the Seven Bridge over it which was busy with traffic and people. Liz didn't want to join the traffic and people so she swam across but a hand was reaching down trying to get her up on the bridge. She took no notice and carried on swimming reaching the other side. Then Liz wanted to explore in her own way, she wanted to explore the wild places and found her way to a hut where there was a group of people sitting round a fire and reading to each other. There was someone there Liz knew who had died, Phil De Mayo. He welcomed Liz and said the light of spirit was like the light that drew moths to it and people are drawn to this light, the Christ light. He spoke of the importance of building this light up within ourselves, allowing it to come through and radiate and become more and more light that will draw people to us. That was part of our purpose, to learn and they were reading about how to let the light shine and working with that. He emphasised the importance of facilitating this light into our lives, bringing it into the world and allowing it to shine...

I started off watching a man dancing like a ballet dancer and then saw he was dancing on a round wooden table and was only about ten inches high. The table was inside a room that had paintings of people on the walls, all types of people doing different things. The dancing man then jumped off the table and went into one of the paintings becoming the painting. Then I looked at another painting of a soldier and the soldier came out of the painting and onto the table where he started to march up and down. I then realised that I was also in a painting and when the soldier returned to his painting I jumped out of mine and onto the table. I stood there not sure what to do as all the other people came out of their paintings joining me on the table. We linked hands and formed a circle then the table and room disappeared. We were now standing on a vast expanse of grass and were joined by more people who formed more circles around us. We all looked up to see a hand with a paint brush coming down from the sky and it began painting trees and houses, ponds, rivers etc on the grass around us creating a beautiful scene...

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

I soon started to see bright blobs in front of me coming and going.
I watched them then fell asleep and woke up half way through the music CD.
The room now looked very black and then it looked like a light was shining from my right across the room casting shadows from objects like large stones standing up.
I then sung along to the music to keep myself awake.

Liz started to speak just before the music CD finished...

'I have Francis here... he just wanted me to mention the great silence'

Me... 'Is Francis somebody you know?'

'I don't know, he's come before... I have a feeling the great silence is this space in which we prepare for receiving the messages from spirit. I'm just enjoying the silence, it's being brought to mind that it's a necessary stage'

'I have these colours flowing through me. It's because in the silence you wait to hear Newton's apple fall and you can feel these colours like many butterflies and moths. They interpenetrate you and they are flying through you. Like being wrapped in the finest silk scarf but I'm all space'

'I have the name Darren... Dinky toys, seem to be holding a crane, Meccano, I'm being taught the essentials of construction. As children these things come naturally with no effort. As the child sits in that silence, is receptive, the skills and the learning, the innate knowledge of how things work, what is to be done, flows through the child because the child is an empty space. We can show, we can work with the child to help the child reclaim all those elements of knowledge and learning that resonate with the personality inherent in that child. It's like a software program, just needs switching on. We push the buttons allowing the child to acquire naturally the knowledge and the attributes and skills that are needed for this lifetime. It requires the passive observance of the child allowing the child to be in the silence, in that space'

'Jacaranda, a special tree, a special plant, its fragile within the flower and the fruit. All together the plant, the tree emerges from the seed and grows and fruits and blossoms with no teaching, effortlessly in its own time. The invisible forces of nature, unseen, in the quiet time are weaving their spell, working, encouraging, facilitating the tree to become a tree with its particular properties and so it is with a child. The human teachers would work in arrogant ignorance, interfere with our natural processing, the natural process of development. The child tree becomes stunted, becomes something other than what it is meant to be. A pear tree should not be a plum tree, nor a fig tree nor an oak. Each human being has his or her own quintessential nature, properties. Needs to develop in order to shine forth with its native hue, the totality of its being. To flower in the dessert or in the ice or on the mountain or in a marsh. Humans struggle and believe that this struggling and difficulties and the stresses and strains of acquiring all this knowledge, all these skills, is necessary to the perfection and to become what is desired by others. The struggle is often because what the person is trying to become is not what is natural to the person but what is impressed by the will of others, the suggestions of others. To discover the pattern of growth that will be easy and natural and harmonious requires sitting in the silence, developing spaciousness, listening, attentiveness, allowing, allowing the natural forces of nature, the gifts of the presences of the wise one that surrounds all living things, to have their assistance, to have their help, to have their encouragement, to have their gifts. The gifted child is a child who allows the innate listening to come to the fore, to predominate. The gifts are given by the whole, this is a gifted world, humans are gifted with humanity, gifted with life, gifted with personality, gifted with skills and the gifts are the natural given encouragements, presents from the whole of life, from the whole spiritual congregation of beings that surround every living thing. Every living creature is an amalgam of an infinite number of forces interacting, interweaving. These forces may emanate with entities, the entity is just a vortex of forces, of qualities at the centre of this web of vibrating beings, as the human being. Let him sit silently listening to the resonances, the vibrations of the various silk threads of the web in which he exists and the gifts of the food parcels of thoughts, of talents, of skill, of inspiration, of qualities will pass into him, will defuse into his being naturally. He will absorb those powers, those qualities, those ideas, those skills that are necessary to his fulfilment'

'The child is conceived; do you think you have to do anything to conceive the child apart from what comes naturally and instinctively? The child grows; do you have to do anything to make the child grow apart from those things you do naturally, to eat, to exercise, to breath? The child is born; do you have to do anything to give birth apart from allow nature to take its course? The child suckles at the breast; does the mother have to do anything that the milk is produced and that the child feeds? This all happens naturally, the child slowly awakes into awareness of the world, into responding, into understanding. Do you have to do anything apart from what comes naturally so the child begins to show interest, begins to investigate, to explore? The stages of development happen naturally. Teeth fall out at the age of seven, puberty starts at twelve onwards without you doing anything at all. Knowledge will come to the child naturally and in due course. The current system of education is concerned with preparing a work force, a socially dependent class of human beings who will maintain the status quo, the belief system and structures and endeavours that have been put into place by the proceeding generations and many of these are misconstrued, many of these are involved in the production of armaments and defence and the production of those things. This distorts the potential for full flowering of the human tree, misdirects the energy, misdirects the life force, so instead of becoming a being full of light and love, full of qualities, the human being becomes a stunted miser full of misperceptions, full of darkness, diminished and limited. And most humans do not shine with light but shrivel into gloom. So, the times of change are coming and we predict the great stillness, the great silence. What this is, what this will be will become apparent. This will be a condition that will be anathema for many but may be an awakening also for many for each one will respond to it in their own way but the germ of the possibility of awakening is in the great silence'

'I've got all these dancers around me, I've got Margot, Rudolf... I can almost hear them saying tell it how it is... Valentino... Cressida...'

'Got that feeling again of chiffon scarfs, whirling through me, beautiful pastel rainbow colours like you get in insect wings. I have this sense that we're being interpenetrated with these beings, they're flowing through us all the time, they are there with great beauty instructing, assisting, demonstrating, sharing. It's like soap bubbles when they coalesce into one big bubble'

'I'm being shown this enormous Christmas tree all lit up and my sense is it's not just that Christmas is coming it's the sense of gifts, that these radiant beings are wanting to share gifts with us, the gifts of spirit and the birth of Christ. The birthing of the Christ in us so that we all become the sons and daughters of God, so that we become what we truly are'

'Francis again and I can only say thank you to our friends in spirit for wanting to share gifts of the spirit, wanting to impart and to be with us, to allow their presence to be felt and to help us to perceive truly in your beautiful colours. Thank you friends, all love and blessings from them to us and us to them'

'I feel we are being fed with nectar, Ambrosia creamed rice, they're saying not rivers of blood but rivers of peace, they're bringing us rivers of peace'

'Got the name John or Johnson'

'Had a picture of a little boy, Terrance, playing with toy bomber aircraft and soldiers interjected with the words fair trade'

'I sense we have a lot of stars with us, they've never gone away. I think they just wanted to let us know they were there... Diana, Freddie... all working with the light, that's the fair trade. So it goes from Terrance playing with soldiers to the fair trade and they are working on it big time, very positive, quite a ray of hope... I think we should leave it there'

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