We had the room setup as usual.
I did the opening prayer at 7.35pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
We started with the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise.
About ten minutes after the opening prayer Liz began to speak.
Her voice was very quiet, sometimes just whispering and some of what was said didn't come out on the recording...
'I've got this man Francis with me again... long black curly hair, a bit of a beard and in something that looks like black velvet, pantaloons and long jacket... with a quill pen standing at a bench or table, writing poetry, smiling, pleased to be here... something to do with mustard seed, a connection with the Buddhist story (Kisa and the mustard seeds) Francis is saying that bereavement is an illusion because he's pleased to say that he's still alive although dead many years ago'
'Yes, it's fear that makes us cling to so small a space... fighting illness, fighting death and there is so much further to go. Paralysed by fear we cling to the Earth instead of rejoicing in the launch into the new untold adventure. I sailed the seven seas only to come back to me. You who feel the illusion of clinging to a dead horse's tail... meanwhile the living horse canters on'
'Eggshells... this fabric of our lives, our ambitions, our hopes. It's like we are treading on eggshells, thin fragmenting skin. Underneath is the clear and endless waters, there's such freedom and we can breathe in there. So, this clinging to the eggshell reality, the fabrication, fabrications of the activities, of the ambitions, of the menial task, all eggshell thin, fragmenting all the time, so careful not to crack, to maintain the perfect shell, perfect protection against the terrifying deep within the egg and in the egg within that yoke the new born bird is waiting to hatch out, to fly free'
'Struggling to keep all the children wrapped in swaddling when they are writhing and kicking to get free...My freedom was at the bench with pen in hand'
'Take heart that those things of you that are the spirit endure, the rest is like dust to the wind, don't let mire entrap you, the burdens, they are only burdens when you give them credence. Don't take them seriously, take them lightly, tread lightly. Rejoice in the spirit, comfort yourself with knowing that all that is of the spirit endues and is not forgotten'
'Mary was my spouse... Tangible evidence, we brought oranges from Spain'
'I have a cat, she's white, Kitty'
'Though I was an adult, my soul's an adult now, I see as a child where everything is wonderful, with a miracle, is beautiful. I sit and wonder, work out calculations, just appreciations, so peaceful here. The puzzling hasn't gone, it's contained in an ocean of wonder, an ocean of appreciation. Christ helped me'
'Termite... '
'I have a nun, she took a vow of obedience and it freed her to be that feather in the breath of God, to go beyond, freed her from the prison of self, into the service of all and with that came the knowledge of all'
The music CD ended.
'I have the name Griselda'
'Thank you all, blessings'
Liz felt back with it and then we discussed our Rainbow Bridge Exercises...
Liz started off walking through a muddy river valley, there were beautiful irises there. She came to an estuary and turned right to a wonderful broad beach where she had been before and in the distance was a white pearl bridge going out to sea. There were many white goats on the beach and one came up to Liz and let her get on his back then galloped off towards the bridge and over the bridge. There were lots more people and animals crossing the bridge, a wave of people and some were invisible. The bridge was made of pearl and there were iridescent peal lights above like rainbows. Liz came to the other side and there were wonderful women dressed in white looking like angels holding out their arms, rejoicing, waiting to greet her. They were spiritual beings and took her with them further inland into woods where they had treehouses and they were dancing. They then found themselves in a large white room and they were conjuring up light energy while dancing. They were working with the light to build light into their bodies, to radiate and contain more light and were welcoming Liz as part of this activity. They were stressing the importance of building up more light in our bodies and were working with Liz to do that in the Earth plane...
I started off in front of a huge old terracotta pot. I held my arms out to embrace it then noticed two more people who held onto my hands and there were two more people next to them and Liz was opposite me making up a circle of six. The pot then started to melt and turned into liquid mercury sinking to the floor like a large round mirror. We all looked into it and I sensed we would all see something different. I saw two hands coming out of the mercury then growing into a hooded person who then removed the hood and I saw it was a lady with long hair. Then I noticed two wings and saw it was an angel. I felt she had a message for me and she said 'A whisper is more powerful than a hundred fireworks' she said I should listen out for whispers and not to try and analyze everything too much, just let it happen, just accept it and it will allow other things happening. You can block things by being too analytical. Try to forget what's happened in the past and accept new experiences as they happen. She then melted and sunk back down to the floor...
I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...
