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...

87th Sittng 15/12/2015


It was good to be back after a four week break.

We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation…

Liz started off on little tufts of grass like stepping stones. There were dandelion clocks and the seeds were blowing everywhere. Liz was chasing them and caught one which lifted her up floating above marshes and pools half-hidden in the grasses. She was going towards the sea with all of these dandelion seeds with rainbows going through them, it was a beautiful feeling of lightness. Then she seemed to be at St Wilfred’s Hospice in Eastbourne, in the garden. She went through one of the windows where there was an elderly lady with white hair lying on the bed. Liz was talking to her and was aware of the importance of the flowers outside in the garden; every room had a French window looking out into the gardens.  Liz then went through the various rooms reassuring people who were dying, then she went out of the window following the dandelion seeds and found herself free again with the clouds moving further and further out to sea until it was all bright shiny water. Liz was on her own with all these rainbows and dandelion seeds just floating in the air over the sea. There was a feeling of loneliness and she wanted to be with a community. Then she found herself by a cot in a hospital nursery with a new-born baby. She was playing with it, tickling it with the dandelion seeds and it was laughing. Liz had gone from someone who was dying to someone newly-born. Liz then decided to visit her mum and found her asleep so tickled her with the dandelions and then left her some on the dressing table to remember. The feeling Liz got was the wanting to be involved in healing and reassuring people of the spiritual reality by visiting them…

I started off standing in the middle of a whirlwind spinning round and round me. I could see shoes amongst the debris flying around me. I looked up and saw the sun directly above me and a beam of light came down into my head, through me and out of my feet into the ground. I felt charged up and got the feeling that I was able to stop this whirlwind with my mind which I did and the spinning shoes fell to the ground. I could now see I was standing in a grassy, hilly landscape on top of a hill. I noticed something approaching in the sky and as it got closer saw it was an eagle. It landed on my arm and I felt it wanted to take me somewhere so I held on to its leg as it took off into the sky over the hills. The scenery changed to mountains with sharp pointy tops and then I saw a flat area of rock where the eagle landed and left me on my own as it flew up into the mountains.  There was a small pool on the rock and I knelt down beside it looking at my reflection in the still water as three monks appeared also kneeling beside the pool. They told me to put my hands in the water and wash my face which I did giving me a wonderful feeling inside. At that point the music stopped bringing my visualisation to an end…

We continued the session…

I soon saw a bright blob in front of my eyes and had a hissing in my ears lasting a few minutes.

Liz felt she was with friends and had an image of Rupert bear.

The blobs went and the room now looked misty silver/blue to me.

Liz got the word ‘telangiectasia’
She couldn’t think where it came from but could have something to do with muscle sprain.
(she had a sprained wrist)

Liz sensed a Russian girl and got a fleeting impression of her with a band around her eyes.

She got the name ‘Dorothy’

I was aware of light to my right.

Liz got ‘Custard’ or ‘Custody’

She continued…

‘I seem to have a connection with tennis, tennis racket, keep quite or keep calm… and the tennis seems to come back to that Russian girl’

‘Someone dressed up as a queen, like on some sort of cruise, a holiday… I get the fleeting name Rudolf… chrysanthemum, like the dandelions I left for mum, yellow and white… There’s somebody here who’s being quite light hearted, got all these like fantasy figures, slightly outrageous, like there was somebody in a bikini…’

‘I’ve got melon or Melonie… or Mirren, like the actress Helen Mirren… Fortify… I think Freddie is trying to get through’  

‘I kept getting Kazakhstan and the space ship… That’s a connection with Freddie, he said the astronaut, he was going to play one of the songs to calm him before take-off, it was going to be a Queen song, I think he said thankyou Freddie, that was in the news…’

‘I had a feeling almost like crying, this feeling of being moved, a wonderful thing that someone who’s died has left something precious, something that can inspire other people, that the works of their hands and minds endures, it outlives the flesh. That is moving, it makes me want to cry, it’s beautiful. I left a legacy, Freddie…’

‘That’s very poignant to blast off into space with the words of a Queen song, I know what it was, the question, I don’t know if it was in the song… is this reality? That was being questioned… what is reality? That was the song he chose. I guess it’s this thing that to turn fiction into reality, whatever you imagine can mould the physical reality’

‘People were laughed at for assuming they could fly and that man could fly to the stars’

‘It’s like the words… We are such stuff that dreams are made on and our little lives are rounded in sleep… Maybe that’s the crux of it, we have to question what is real, we have to doubt our own version of reality’

‘And they have all the flags on the space station, you have to notice they are all made up of primary colours, permutation, that notion of individual nation, variations on a theme but flags turn to tatters, they’re changing colours all the time and so it all goes wrong, to put a flag on the moon is to lay claim on what is universal that’s why it all went wrong. When the centre is at every point everyone is everyone, there’s no individuality, it’s illusion’

‘I see this great sun like a ball of individuals but they’re all connected like the rays of the sun, all smiling and laughing, all the astronauts and those around each other they all have their roots in the sun like the petals of a sun flower, it’s a big smile…’

‘I’ve got the word featherweight… perhaps it’s floating through space like a featherweight… I’m seeing fireworks like a festival… fun… life is fun…’

The music had ended.

‘End on that note of a funfair or a fanfare… funfair or fanfare, I think that’s all connected with Freddie… Thank you Freddie… Ahh I’ve got the elephant nose so perhaps the group say they’re with us…’

Liz still had a pulling sensation on her solar plexus and felt a bit giddy.
She had a drink of water and we waited until she felt back with it.

Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing down exercise.

We had both remained awake throughout the session this week.

86th Sitting 10/11/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off sitting in a cave with water dripping down in front of her like a waterfall and it was full of rainbows and glittering diamonds. Looking through it she could see streams, a boggy landscape and a patchwork of rivulets going down to a large body of water. Purple hills and mountains were in the distance and there were spider webs in front of her all bejewelled with dew drops. Liz then saw a band of monks and nuns coming down from the hills. They wore grey and brown gowns and were carrying a body, not a coffin, just the body. They removed its clothes, took it to the water, put it on a raft and went out to sea. When they came back one of the monks came towards Liz wearing a dark grey gown with long black hair and beard. He sat down and explained to Liz that this was the body, the husk of one of their brothers but he hadn’t died, he’d never stopped being alive, this was just the outer covering. He had some silver fish and started to cook them as he explained that the body of their brother made good food for the fish as this was an inhospitable landscape, not much grew but the sea was full of fish so they gave the body back to the sea for the fish to feed on. It was a way of replenishing stocks, all part of the whole ecosystem. He said there was never any want in the Earth, all our needs were met and the fish were there in abundance, there was food for all…

I started off in a very green place next to a pond of green water and the rocks were covered in green moss and slime, even the sky looked green. There were green frogs on the rocks and I realised I was a green frog too. I got the feeling of being looked at and could vaguely see faces in the sky. It felt like I was being observed in a huge glass tank. I imagined myself out of the tank and then found myself in a classroom with a group of children looking into this tank. Then I noticed people looking into the classroom through the windows so imagined myself outside the classroom with them. I decided to explore and walked out of the school onto a grassy field then up a slope reaching the top of a hill where I sat down to enjoy the warm sun and blue sky. Again I got the feeling I was being watched by people beyond the sky so imagined myself there and found myself in a bright dazzling white light unable to make out anything until my eyes got used to the brightness. Then I saw another group of people standing around another glass tank and when I had a look I saw it contained the whole physical universe…

(Liz suggested I’d transposed from the twinkle in my Father’s eye to being the actual eye)

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

I was feeling light headed.

Liz got the name Valerie.

The atmosphere was looking lighter and misty to me then it darkened and I saw bright blobs floating by.

Liz got the name David Armstrong.

Liz began to speak…

‘Heliotrope… I have this large green leaf like a cheese plant… There seem to be lots of cross communications, lots of people… it’s like seeing a spider’s web’

‘I’ve got this very thick book, I’m going to try and open it, it’s like a bible, got a little bit about sparrows… The birds, not one shall fall but the Father in heaven shall know of it’

‘I have the sense of cold grey stone archways…’

‘I have that sense of attention to detail, every line, every expression, every stage of growth, every person, every transition is noted, is observed, is registered, is lovingly recorded in the way that a parent watches a child grow, but we are all very important, part of a finely tuned web and each part is registered, the spider knows, the spider has spun the web, the spider knows each break, each section, each strand’

‘A telescope on the battlements of a castle, steel rivets, metal, it could be guns, gun emplacement.  I’m looking at the stars, they’re very brilliant, there’s no other light’

‘I’m looking at reflections in the window, families; I have a sense of Hogmanay’

‘Got the name Heather’

‘Somebody’s saying old power, I’m getting accordion music’

The music ended and I asked if there was any more to say…

Liz continued…

‘Just got the sense of this ancient dragon, old power… family feuds… I sense the old power… Looking up at the stars, this clarity, the brilliance of stars, the telescope seeing far, the whole universe out there, never ending. It’s this sense of in the stars are hidden patterns, hidden information, there’s hope in the seeds of new life, nothing’s stuck, the old shapes will be shaken and this new brilliance and wisdom will come through and all the old quarrels will be forgotten… That’s all’

We waited a few minutes for Liz to feel back with it but she still felt as if she was listening, she felt she was still caught up in it for a while as if there was more to come through, Scottish stuff, Macbeth, witches and a connection with Heather and old family feuds…’

Liz then came back completely and did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing down exercise… 

  

85th Sitting 03/11/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off looking at an exquisitely beautiful series of three lakes with islands. They looked like Japanese gardens and were linked by a wickerwork bridge. They were full of rainbows, blossom, orchids and lilies and Liz was fascinated by the beauty and simplicity. A Japanese lady came forward and led Liz over to a beautiful temple like a pagoda in the middle of one of the islands. They were about to have a tea ceremony sitting in a circle of people with a fountain in the middle, all incredibly beautiful and exquisite. Liz was very happy just to sit there as they were served steaming yellow fragrant jasmine tea in tiny cups. In the distance she saw wonderful snowy mountains and a path leading there and then both the Japanese lady and Liz began to form a snake like movement out into the snow towards the mountains, a beautiful fluid movement to the mountains and back again. When they got back, instead of a fountain there was a brazier of fire and someone passed around a bowl of fragrant fire. Liz had the feelings of the elements and being completely content to just be in that place, be completely simple. Stillness, simplicity and contentment with exquisite beauty in that one place. Liz found herself looking at the Japanese lady and it was like she was talking to her as Liz saw her face and hands moving like a dancer, it was like they were dancing this scene…

I started off standing by a manhole cover that had been taken off revealing a hole so I decided to climb down it. There was a rope ladder and as I descended I saw that I was entering a new world, climbing down from the sky on this ladder until I reached some lush grass on the top of a hill. I looked up and saw the ladder disappeared into the blue sky. There were lots of children running around who didn’t seem surprised that I had just climbed out of the sky. I walked down to a shallow lake which had a waterfall on the other side so I went in and waded across to the waterfall then went through it to find a cave in the rocks which I entered. The walls were sparkling with gold and I saw people dressed in white robes standing by the walls as I walked into the cave. I journeyed further into the cave and I noticed the gold walls were becoming incrusted with precious stones and the people were wearing colourful jewellery, the further I went the more jewels and precious stones I saw. Then I came to a junction, one way continued with the gold and jewelled walls and the other was just a plain rock cave so I took the plain rock cave route which eventually came out into a room with a long table. Around the table sat what looked like monks eating soup and a chunk of bread. I joined them and was given a bowl of soup and bread and as I looked around I saw one of the people from the other cave was also there and as he ate, his robes and jewels started to disappear and he turned into one of the monks. He looked pleased and contented that he was now part of this simple living and I got the feeling that all the monks had come from the other cave to live a simple life…  

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

The room started to flicker to me.
Then it felt like there was something crawling in my hair.
It felt cold around my face.
I had a lot of pressure and itchy feelings in my right ear which continued on and off throughout the session.

It started to look wispy and wavy in the room to me.
Then it was lighter and misty.

My legs and feet became very cold.
My forehead felt tight.

Liz began to speak…

‘A sense of weight, golden bricks in my lap, a city of gold, like a lion, like Aslan, Narnia…’

‘It’s like the words in the background… Of what shall we build the house?’

‘I sense this house, almost like a tent, made of silks that have rainbow patterns, colours painted on them in silk and this silk is spun from the humblest of creatures the worm, turquoise…’

‘Image of these bubbles, bubbles have this filmy rainbow on the surface like in iridescent patterns on oily water, on an insect’s wing, these delicate membranes… Of what shall we build our house?’

‘I have the name Charmian or Charmain’

‘I’m seeing these silks again, embroidery silks, like walking down a path of sweet peas, very subtle pastel colours, scented, sheer artistry, the creation…’

‘When you look at bubbles that are forming a bubble can engulf another bubble, they can coalesce and form a bigger bubble. These are just subtle manifestations of energy perceived by the eyes or it can be music for the ears, manifestations of energy, one soundwave being modulated by another, absorbing another waveform, another function of light, the sound of energy, energy forms absorbing, coalescing, mixing with others. We can interpret this in different ways according to our cultural beliefs, our conditioning, can see it as savagery, extinction, murder of one species by another one, erased by another, invasions, take overs, assimilations. This is just the natural flow and transition and the creative patterning of energy in all its manifestations and it’s all perfect, it’s all how it is… Of what shall I build this house?’

‘It’s the mirage of phantasmagoria, moving, coalescing, shifting, shape changing, miracle. The patterns and the colours and the shapes and the sounds like clouds, changing, patterning and the bursting like bubbles…’

‘Got the name Henry or Henrietta, Henrik?’

‘I have a sense of the lessons to be learnt from this falling snow, this great vast snowy dessert, wilderness, that in the middle there’s absolute presence and fire lit in the middle of this snow and ice, and the wolf, the wind and the knife edge of survival sharpens the focus into the ice crystals, the meaning, the meaning of predation, of the predator and prey, it’s attunement, that the one becomes exquisitely sensitive of the energy of the other’ 

‘What we see as pain, suffering and cruelty in this world is just our interpretation of something we see as fixed which is in fact an energy construct, a waveform and if we saw it as music, patterns, iron filings in a field being moved, shifted in different ways forming different shapes, patterns, being absorbed, being individualised again, single note, single waveform and then bifurcating into a complex pattern and breaking up again, merging with a larger field pattern, all the time transforming. You see the objects as we see them of nature, in their true aspect of energy, the interactions, transitions and patternings can be understood, appreciated independent of our thinking, of our conditioned response, reaction’

The music ended and I asked if there was anything else to be said?

Liz continued…

‘I just have the lady in the silk komodo and she’s dancing. The komodo contains all the shapes and forms of all living things and around her are all created forms and the lion and the lamb are lying beside each other and are with her in friendship, there’s no fear because all forms are understood for what they are and she’s dancing the dance of creation and her name is Isis… That’s all…’

Once Liz felt back with it she did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

Liz had remained aware throughout the session whereas I had drifted in and out of sleep…

84th Sitting 27/10/2015


We had the room setup as last week which will now be our usual setup.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the rainbow bridge exercise…

Liz found herself in the dark by a sparkling sea with stars above it. There was a moon surrounded by a rainbow aura. It was magical and peaceful and Liz felt she was in Scotland at Iona. She then found herself getting in a boat and someone who she felt she knew was rowing it. She felt a warm rain falling on her, it was like golden rain then suddenly she was in a whole shaft of gold, there was gold all around her, everything was golden. It had gone from dark to brilliant gold light like the sun. They seemed to be going to an island of rainbows and when they got there it was harvest time; there was golden bracken and trees, all the colours of autumn. They walked through the harvest fields and were joined by more people who told them this was their harvest. Then they walked up to a golden temple full of fruits and flowers. It had pillars of lights and in the middle a fountain, a baptism fountain. Liz was given a baby to hold and she took it into the fountain and was joined by all the other people, all in the fountain together. The temple was heavenly with music and choirs everywhere. It was like a place that contained everything that was heavenly, gems and jewels, a place of healing, a place of calm and a place of baptism. Liz felt this was home and a place she could come to. She felt she was here and there at the same time…

I started off looking out of the window of a house into the front garden. It was grey, cloudy and raining and I saw people walking slowly by on the street looking very sad. Then I looked across to the other side of the street and noticed the sun was shining and people were walking up and down with a spring in their step looking very happy and contented. I felt I wanted to join these happy people in the sun and then found myself standing in the middle of the road; the rain was behind me and the sun in front. I looked up and down the street and it went on forever with thousands of people walking up and down each side. I started to walk along the sunny side passing people who all smiled and greeted me while on the other side everyone was looking down not acknowledging each other as if in their own world. An elderly Chinese man approached and I asked him why the people on the grey side of the street didn’t come over to this side and he told me they could but they were all in their own self-created states of mind due to negative thinking, oblivious to the wonderful life that was just a few steps across the street. He said that when they begin to question for themselves that life could be better they will glance over to this side and then we can get their attention and help. We can invite them over but they have to make the first move…

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

The atmosphere started to flicker to me then it went light and misty with a few waves and swirly bits followed by bright blueish blobs in front of me.

Liz remained quiet during the session.

When the music ended I asked if there was anything to say.
Liz then began to speak…

‘Just gold, I have the sense of gold, it’s like a twig, a dark skeleton, leaves of gold and the laburnum comes to mind… Golden, harp of gold, golden harp, gold has this special symbolism, gold is also a quality, speak with a heart of gold, golden opportunity… Genghis Khan always favoured gold… Gold has a special note, a special cord, a special vibration and to follow that golden mile leads towards a reality that underpins this reality, the reality in which we have our sovereignty… Gold, it was the alchemists dream to turn lead into gold but the transformation of this base reality into its full spectrum, full resonance, brings it into line with the meaning of gold, golden. It shines; it reminds us of the lustre, the brilliance, the light… Gold on the inner planes is the gold of real value that brings us into line with the ultimate reality, with the whole; the outer gold is a gross reflection, a reminder of the inner gold which is the real treasure… That’s all’

Liz didn’t feel she had been asleep during the session but had been in an altered state of some kind.
I had remained awake throughout this week.


Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…   

83rd Sitting 20/10/2015


Following advice given at our last Mercury Light Circle we have changed the setup of the room again.
Liz now sits in the cabinet which she keeps open throughout the session. The table with dome, ping-pong balls and crystal is positioned about one metre in front of her and I sit directly opposite her with my back against the far wall.
Liz has chosen a new selection of tunes which are all piano music.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, put the music on and turned out the light.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off at a dark green lake or wide river with swans on it and lush grass on the banks. It was very peaceful. To her right was a blue painted metal bridge, fine delicate structure. She wanted to go over it as she could see it leaded to a pathway into bushes and trees, the start of a forest path. Liz crossed over it and onto this lush overgrown pathway into the woods of enormous trees. To her right she saw a rope ladder going up into the trees so climbed it. Up in the tree tops it was like a whole country, you could go from tree to tree and there were people living there like green fairies and gnomes, also caterpillars, moths and insects all living up in the trees. Liz wondered what she was doing there and where to go then found herself listening to rain falling in the trees and then thunder and lightning. She realised that by being there it had a terrific sense of patience, it was changing all the time as it was dawn light, day light and dusk, it was like a whole world of experience in this greenness everywhere. Liz then found herself facing a green man, like a leprechaun and he explained that it was like a whole world and she was there to learn respect. It was the tuning fork of the Earth, resonating with the Earth, she was there to breath and experience the oxygen and there was a metal taste, she was tasting the Earth. It was very important to experience this continuity, this sense of community, of many different beings all part of the Earth experience and it was to do with respect and patience…

I started off going through a long tunnel which was circular like a tube and it began to turn upwards as I went higher and higher until I reached the end and came out on the top of a snowy mountain. I sat with my feet in the snow and began drawing faces in the snow around the edge of the tunnel opening. I sat down again looking down at a town below me then all the faces became people and they all joined me sitting round the tunnel edge in a circle. We all held hands and I felt an electrical charge going through us. From where we were sitting we could each see a different town beneath us and we concentrated on the hospital in each town. As we did so beams of light shone down from us to the hospitals as if sending healing to them. When it stopped the people disappeared leaving me on my own again. I decided to go down and take a look at the hospital I’d been looking at so slid down the snowy slope and made my way into the town. I found the hospital, went in and felt very uplifted as I walked around it. Everybody was smiling and the patients were looking happy and sitting up in their beds but everyone was wondering why there were small piles of snow dotted about and how they’d got there…

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

I was seeing a few bright yellowish blobs coming down from the ceiling, then the room looked darker and a blueish colour.

Liz began to speak…

‘I had the words forming in my mind that you are indeed a twinkle in your father’s eye but you need to feel the eye, to see through the eye in which you are a twinkle…’

We both kept losing consciousness and waking up on and off during the session.

Liz woke up just as the music ended and began to speak again…

‘Ai Weh… Ai Weh a pathway of lapis lazuli, a turquoise leading to Ai Weh… Mounte, mounte of aman… There by the river and the tents are scattered, millions by the yellow river, washed down with a flood, I’ve noted, Ai Weh noted… Nothing is ever lost, it’s like a mushroom, mycelium, the threads are all there and the fruit returns and returns every year… Why would you keep returning? It’s the lapis lazuli, the treasure at the end of the rainbow, the promise of the treasure… So what is to be done with the treasure? Is it put away? Is it buried? Treasure is the food for gods… it’s the treasure we take with us when we pass on, when we become gods. We are the gods; Ai Weh says we are the gods… Doreen and Dora… it’s like a great egg that’s cracked open, the egg is hatching, feathers coming out of it, peacocks, peahens, all the colours of the rainbow… She has baskets full of roses, Rosemary… She says I’ve kept the best for last, there’s no going back, only forward… Undandar celebrating Christmas… I have a sense of an elephant with me… The name Rosemary keeps coming, everything’s very nebulous, concentrated but nebulous… Phillip, Phillip’s smiling… He’s shouting at me, he’s come, he wants to get the message across, he’s come with Ai Weh, I ask him what the message is, he said it’s love, he’s come with Ai Weh and Jesus… I have Julian, Julian is also celebrating Christmas, there’s no resistance now… It’s like tsunami, a wave, a rush of energy spreads, it’s almost like an aroma, spreading the message, it’s seeping through the mycelium, the layers… that it comes in a rush and then percolates, it’s a new wave… Ai Wey is a mountain of a man, he’s been trying to say it with lapis lazuli, he will say it with lapis lazuli… That’s all…’

Liz was now feeling back with it, she hadn’t noticed the music had finished.

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

82nd Sitting 13/10/2015


We had the room set up as usual and Liz sat with the cabinet open throughout.

I did the opening prayer at 8.35pm, turned the music on and put the light out.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off looking over a wall of a bridge into a stream where there were a pair of white swans. As she looked at them she changed into a swan and took off flying southwards towards the sun. As she got closer and closer to the sun the golden light suddenly engulfed her and she became part of that light which then seemed to change into a chandelier full of crystals with many lights in it. Liz then realised the chandelier was over an enormous regal room and there was an investiture going on. Then she found herself with a crown on her head like a royal monarch of some sort being crowned and as she walked forwards in this room on the carpet she suddenly found herself at the Sea of Galilee and there was Jesus and John the Baptist baptising people. Two people took Liz by the arms and she was dunked under the water coming out as a new child. She then sat on the bank with a line of new born people. It was as if a whole new life was about to start but they were all waiting to be born. They were naked and Liz wondered what clothes she should wear. There were some sheep in the field with golden fleeces which was suddenly spun into wool, this golden yarn which seemed to lead back to the sun and out of this they made a cloth for clothes. Liz asked… Why do we need clothes? And the answer was that in order to be seen by each other in this world they had to clothe themselves in something to make themselves visible since they had senses to see and the right cloth was this cloth of gold…  

I started off walking with a tray containing cups of tea. It was quite dark but I could just about see where I was going and could feel I was on carpet. Eventually I came up to a table and put the tray down on it. As I did that everything lit up and I could see seated around the other side of the table were six dwarfs and they all took a cup and started drinking. Then a chair appeared from behind me so I sat down and became aware that the dwarfs were now waiting for me to speak but I couldn’t think of anything to say. I felt hands on my shoulders as a man appeared behind me and then I began to speak but it wasn’t me speaking it was the man speaking through me. The dwarfs were asking questions and didn’t seem to be aware of the man behind me. Everything started to look fuzzy and I found myself drifting upwards to the ceiling, leaving my body. I looked down at myself speaking and the man behind me then noticed a semi-circle of people behind him, and more semi-circles of people behind them all connected with hands on the shoulders of the person in front seemingly going on for ever. They were all adding to the communication as I saw waves of light energy pulsating through them towards me. Eventually I came back down into myself and opened my eyes. All the people behind me had gone and the dwarfs were looking happy having had a good conversation and questions answered. There was now a cup of tea in front of me which I drank as the dwarfs got up, thanked me and left…

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

I felt a pressure around my right ear.
It was looking lighter and misty in the room to me.
I saw a few white wispy bits coming up from the floor.
Then lines of yellow followed by a bright blob in front of me.

Liz was sensing a lot of bright light like peripheral light surrounding a canopy while the central point seemed dim and distant.

Liz was getting hot.

Liz began to speak…

‘Audrey… Rope ladder, rigging and Jack… I think Jack is the man with the moustache I saw… I asked Audrey if there’s anything she wants to say and I just get this sense of a steering wheel on a boat or a yacht. She’s turning it to the right, she seems to be directing it, going round and round, feels like she’s on holiday, wishing her a good journey. I get the feeling of black and white check like a chequerboard. I was looking at something beige and blue through a window, not sure what it was or if it was connected with Audrey… bit of a pinch, don’t know what that means, the pinch it’s cramped… I got prisoner 894, I wonder if the pinch refers to being confined. I just feel I want to tell Audrey the world’s her oyster, she can go wherever she wants now, she’s got control of the boat, it doesn’t have to go round and round in circles, not confined to one place’

‘Got an image of skittles in a game of bowls being knocked over’

‘Delorean or Dora… it’s like I’m looking down a long road… cousins’

‘Cressida and cartwheels’

The music finished.

Liz continued for a while…

‘I’ve got many creatures like an underground stream, people… sense of a big archway like a bridge, an archway that people are passing through… horses hair, hair of the horse…’

Liz was still feeling a bit out of it so I played one more tune while she came back.

Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing down exercise…
  

81st Sitting 06/10/2015


We had the room setup as usual.
Liz kept the cabinet open throughout.

I did the opening prayer at 8.35pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the rainbow bridge exercise…

Liz started off on a rocky path with stepping stones and ferns, it was jewelled, it was lit by moonlight, there was running water and it was quite magical. The path ran down to a beach with rocks, palm trees and a silvery sea. There were rainbows around the moon like an aura and Liz found in front of her a silken ladder as if made from spider webs. She climbed up it, up and up into the sky, dangling in the middle of nowhere. A presence then said to her… ‘Let go of the ladder’ Liz was afraid of falling but did what the voice had asked and found she was still on terra firma, standing on grass, she hadn’t gone anywhere and didn’t need the ladder at all. She felt the presence was telling her to stay there and be still but felt she should be going somewhere. She then saw a tiger coming towards her moving gracefully and sitting in front of her. She wasn’t afraid and as they stared at each other Liz felt they had become one. She climbed on its back and the tiger took her up into the snowy mountains. It had a comforting feeling and felt majestic. They came to a cave where Liz got off and went inside and found a woman with long golden hair. This woman seemed new-born somehow and Liz wondered what she was as the music ended…

The first thing I saw was a woman standing in front of me holding a baby. I got the sense that I was a priest and was baptising this baby as there was a font beside me. I dipped my hand in the water and wiped the baby’s forehead. Then the baby began to shine brightly and the woman and baby started to levitate up into the sky until they became a bright shining star. There was a congregation in front of me and several members came up for healing. They drank from the font and I could see how it was having an effect and healing them. One man could hardly walk and was bent over and then when he drank the water he stood upright and walked briskly away. I kept feeling I wanted to go somewhere but something was keeping me there. Each side of me was a choir, all dressed in blue and they started singing. As they did this a crack appeared in the sky, opening up and letting in a bright dazzling light. It kept opening until the whole sky was just bright white light and continued to open past the horizon and below me until all I was aware of was floating in this bright white light. The choir and congregation were still there also floating in this light and finally I felt I’d become one with them and just felt like I was consciousness floating in a void of white light…

Once again we noticed many similarities in our two visualisations.

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

The room look flashy to me and brighter.
My legs were cold and my right leg felt tingly.

I saw bright blobs coming and going in front of me.

It got very cold down my right side.

Liz started to speak…

‘Oasis… I come back to this sand, dessert an oasis’

Then after about 40 minutes she continued and she asked me to turn down the music…

‘A skein of wool like a cat’s cradle that seems to be going to the cave where the woman was, a princess… It’s as if this woman is in charge of all wild things, it’s like there are many faces, faces of many faces, she’s sometimes known as a star… Also known as Diana the huntress… Astarte, a connection with Egypt and I have the moon goddess… The wool is the connective tissue, the link out of the tangled web. All things are held together and connected and the skein of wool acts as a pathway not to get lost, it winds and unwinds, it’s used to trace the footsteps so the path isn’t lost, to find a way back home… the home is not far way, it’s where you are, there never was any distance, there’s nowhere to go to get lost because you’re always home, home is where you are and the skein of wool is just an illusory device to help you remember… She is the star to every wandering bark, she is the princess, she is the home, she is the heart, she is the queen of hearts and she’s been with us all through history, Astarte… and she’s also Tsultrim Allione, the girl’s guide, Sudakini and Vajralila’s guide… so I think it’s women of the world unite your time has come, rebirth of the woman… I think I have Francis with me and she says… Well said… and that’s the significance of the tigress, absolute mastery, noble bearing, supreme presence…’

The music had ended and Liz asked me to play another tune to help her come back.

Once feeling back and with it Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

80th Sitting 29/09/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned on the music and put the light out.

We did the rainbow bridge exercise…

Liz found herself going down a cobbled street or alleyway, down steps with dark slate grey stones either side, fern growing out of them and water trickling down. She felt it was in Italy and then thought maybe Syria or Lebanon. It led down to a stream where there was a stone arch bridge over it. She crossed over the bridge to find herself in an olive grove and farmland. A little dark skinned boy suddenly appeared, maybe 10 or 11, in a long white tunic and white fez with a red tassel. He was keen for Liz to follow him and took hold of her hand leading her to some farm buildings and they went inside, up some wooden stairs to meet the boy’s grandfather who was lying on a bed in a room. He got up as Liz entered and took her to a table where he unveiled a large golden bird. At first Liz thought it was a cockerel but then realized it was an eagle. She wasn’t sure why the old man was showing her this; she could see that he was blind and that he wanted Liz to have it. He was telling her that sight was very precious and Liz thought maybe he wanted her to take the bird to cure blindness but she didn’t get chance to ask him more as the music ended…

I started off in front of some curtains. They parted so I walked through them and found myself in a large glass tubular tunnel. I could just about see through the glass and saw what looked like a beautiful purple sunset. I decided to walk down this glass tube and as I did so it started sloping downwards until I could no longer stand up so sat down and slid down it gathering speed as it twisted and turned a bit like a bobsleigh slope. I saw a junction coming up and had to quickly decide which way to go and this was followed by more junctions. Each time I leant to the left or right depending on which way I wanted to go. Eventually I came out of the tube landing in a warm shallow pond. It looked like I was on a tropical island, there were palm trees and sand around the pond and I saw lots of dark skinned native tribesmen who were laying a path of leaves leading out of the pond and into a jungle. I got up and followed the path into the jungle and again came up to junctions where I had to choose left or right before continuing. The path eventually ended with an old Chinese man sitting on a chair. I asked him what was happening and where was I…? He said I was here because I had chosen to be here, all my choices had brought me to this place. He went on to say how choices are a very big part of our life and that it was very important to recognise how each choice makes us feel. We should use our heart to make choices and feel if the choice is right, feel how it affects others and not to think too much about each choice. Eventually we will learn to trust our feelings as to the correct choice and improve our life and the lives of others… He then faded away and I found myself back at the curtains…

I put the music back on and Liz closed the cabinet curtains.

The room was looking lighter and misty to me.
I felt cold on my legs and hands as if the atmosphere in front of me was cold.

My legs and hands were tingling.
My hair was itchy and it felt like something was touching it.

Liz got the name David.

I felt something trickling down the right side of my face.

Liz started to speak…

‘David, and it’s the boy, fruit trees and musical instrument, a zither or something, gold, an eagle eye… his treasure, they say in the bible your treasure in heaven, you make your treasure where dust and decay set in, you put your treasure in heaven’

‘Yes I have Bathsheba…’

‘Nest of scorpions… I sense some bitterness’

‘I have this image of a green hill, a temple and the old man has picked up this bird, this heavy golden statue. I couldn’t make out what it was for, he’s set it free, it’s a bird, it’s flown away, that’s how it should be… and his eyes have opened. It’s as if he was tied to the treasure, this solid heavy… To him it represented a golden image, an object of worship, he converted it. Realisation is the key word. He’d imprisoned the real, stultified it, made a graven image of it and now he’s set it free, he’s realised its essential nature. That’s the graven image of God, that’s what we’ve done, the nest of scorpions. God is a living being, free, alive can’t be pinned down, not to be worshiped, to be lived… The musical instrument has to be played, it’s a fixed and solid object until a hand plucks the strings and the music dances forth, creation has wings… The music arises from the object according to the player’

‘That’s the little boy in the picture; he says his name is Zebedee, Zeb. His role is to free people, people who are stuck’

‘I saw these sheep grazing on the hillside. These sheep have golden fleeces, they’re a commodity, no they’re not for sale… Everything has its price but its true value is lost, its true value is not seen… Every living thing has become armoured with price tags and defences, the greed. Every living thing has become so fixed in its perceived commodity value, commodity price. Objects of trade, of admiration, constrained, captive. The true nature has been dimmed, over looked. It’s not being seen for what it is only for what it’s worth in terms of commodity value’

‘Ashes… sack cloth and ashes, garments of repentance… I’ve seen what I’ve seen, I am what I am now as a great sea of gold and peace… in the end all is peace’

The music ended.

Liz had remained awake throughout this session.
I had dropped off a few times.


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

79th Sitting 22/09/2015


We had the room setup in our new configuration like last week.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned on the music and put the light out.
We started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz found herself in an incredible expanse of silvery wet sand stretching into an infinite sea which was also silvery as was the sky. It was almost as if there was no break between the sand, sea and sky. It was all one wonderful silver light. Liz was walking out and out into it and then felt she was flying and flew into the sky with a beautiful sense of peace and spaciousness. Liz had become a white bird, an eider duck and she felt she was flying over mountains and all the rainbows were with her. Suddenly all this was juxtaposed with a TV screen and Liz was watching this eider duck flying on the screen. It felt so constrained and confined compared with the actual being the duck and flying in this space. There was no comparison, no way did Liz want to sit and watch this screen that was like a virtual reality while she was in the real reality. Then she had the feeling of being in a place of trees, olive coloured, almost like trees in a painting and again she felt this was a second virtual reality and she didn’t want that, she wanted the absolute reality which was this infinite sky and sense of being in it. She then found herself at a water fall, the incredible power of this water falling, ice cold but so vital. She was in the waterfall, full of rainbows and the power of the water felt good but she juxtaposed it again with the open ended spacious reality, formless with no boundary and that’s where she wanted to be. It had no name, no place or space but it was real and Liz held onto that…

I started off driving a car. It was dark and misty outside, the windscreen wipers were on and I was driving down a twisty country lane then stopped suddenly as the lane ended with a shear drop over a cliff. I could see light coming up from the cliff so got out and had a look over the edge. It looked like a brightly lit up city, lots of different colours and looked inviting so I jumped off, became a bird and glided down to investigate. I landed and changed back to myself and noticed it looked like a Victorian city by the way people were dressed. I saw horses and carriages, men pushing carts. A young boy ran past me being chased by a police man, I think he had just stolen some food. I then noticed there was a lot of bright white light coming from somewhere and walked towards it. I found a large square and in the middle standing on a pedestal was a man who was glowing brightly, making all this light. He was talking to a crowd that had gathered around him. I joined the crowd and listened to a few of his words. He talked about how everyone was on their own pathway to enlightenment. Some paths were straight and others twisted but the important thing is to make the most of your path, don’t worry how long it takes just enjoy the journey and know that there is no end, there is always more to learn and experience. As I looked at the crowd I noticed some people glowed brighter than others as if they were all at different stages along their pathways…

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

Liz decided to keep the cabinet open this week.

I was cold around my legs.
The room was looking flashy to me.
I had pressure on my forehead and right ear.

Liz began to speak…

‘I keep getting this incredible river bed, shallow water and stones. Seems to be in a sort of pass or mountain gorge, cliffs on the right hand side and a larger valley plane on the left. The water is shining…’

Liz was then quiet until the end of the session as the music was ending she said…

'I’m just aware of a great curtain. There appears to be orange and gold shapes the other side. Could be boulders or something but it’s just colours, quite chaotic but I think it’s another way of seeing… I don’t think there is anything to be said… I’ve just got a feeling of tumbling, lots of exotic animals, different creatures… It’s like being in another volume, connected to it, I just get glimpses…’

Liz took a few minutes to feel back with it. She had a strong pulling on the solar plexus. She was very hot.

I felt cold and my stomach had felt bloated during the session.

We had both drifted off several times during the session.
The energy felt heavy.


Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

78th Sitting 15/09/2015


We made some changes to the room this week with Liz sitting in the cabinet. I sat in front to her right and we put the table in front to her left.
We will try this setup for a few weeks.
Liz had the cabinet curtains open during our Rainbow Bridge Exercise then closed them for the rest of the session.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz found herself dancing on an enormous sandy beach with a sparkling sea and rocks. It was a wonderful feeling and she was joined by lots of other dancers around her, some coming down from the sky. They were all naked and dancing, almost childlike. People were reaching down from the sky and the rocks. Then the dancers formed into a multi-coloured spiral like a rope going up into the sky. Liz began to twist around it going up like a funnel of energy, translucent colours, all the colours of the rainbow. It then turned into an enormous bird and then a great whale. Liz then realised it was like a dragon, they were all riding on the back of it going through the sky coming into a beautiful land where everything changed from being in the sky to being on land. Liz was on a grassy meadow which then became the flank of the dragon, scaly and green. It was like looking at a prickly cactus but very close up, she couldn’t see the whole. It was like she was leaning against this flank of the dragon, a wonderful feeling, she wanted to see the whole but couldn’t. The dragon said that he was the whole but wanted to lead her to see some of his cities. Liz asked… Why cities? And it was to do with being where people congregate and was also like termite mounds, just the place where beings congregate and where Liz was meant to be receiving teaching or seeing things. Everything Liz looked at the dragon made her feel was part of him but she couldn’t see the whole. She was getting closest to seeing it when she could see clearly the part she had, the flank or the bit of grass she was lying on or a vegetable she was holding or a flower. When that became very real to Liz she was seeing the whole in the part. The dragon told her he was beyond her ken or God was beyond her knowing. All she could see was the manifestations of him in the pieces that became real. The whole was hidden but apparent…

I started off standing in front of a huge green cactus growing in sand. I then noticed I could clearly see the roots going down and realised the sand was transparent. I began to walk across the sand and found I could see things buried in it like skeletons of animals. As I walked it became night with a bright silvery moon. I came up to a shore and watched the moon sparkling in the rippling sea. A large rowing boat appeared full of black people wearing turbans and gowns. They all had bright white teeth reflecting the moonlight and they motioned me to follow them to a cave in the cliffs. We went inside and the walls were golden, lit up by a fire burning in the centre of a large round opening. They sat around the fire in a circle and invited me to join them. One by one they asked questions to the fire which answered them in the form of pictures. I asked a question… Where am I now? And I got a picture of myself asleep in bed which I took to mean I was dreaming and in a dream reality. The others were smiling as if they already knew I was dreaming. I thought if I was dreaming then I wanted to explore more of this place so got up and went outside where it was now light. The sand was no longer transparent. I saw a wooden chair on the sand and got the impression this was a thought chair, a chair to sit in and think, so I did as the music came to an end…

We once again had some synchronicities not least the cactus.

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

I was very cold around my legs.
The atmosphere looked lighter and misty to me.
Then it looked wavy, a bit like it was pulsating.
I got bright blobs coming and going in front of me.

I had the image of the head of a panther, light brown in colour.

Liz began to speak…

‘I’ve got Judith and I just got a large scarab, a beetle or spider’

‘Got a sense of people tangled together and buildings on their sides, sloped over’

‘I’m looking at a room, a lamp shade, pink, green and white net curtains, prints of roses on them. I’m looking out from this window. It’s like a room I’ve seen before, I connect it with Judith’

‘I’ve got the sense of something silver, could be an aeroplane or silver fish… A picture, looks like a tunnel, arch of bricks, full of rubble’

‘An image like a flat cap, a peeked cap, a pilot or somebody in the military, I saw a medal like a cross’

‘Somebody called Enid… I’ve a feeling of being very small, these enormous tree trunks covered by moss down by their roots… clever’

‘Pictures like a children’s nursery rhyme, they went to sea in a sieve’

‘Christopher… it’s as if I’m looking through a lead paned window, cottage window, square’

‘Envelopes, letters’

‘Green and pink again and the word creative’

‘A worm… the worm that turned. I just got this picture of a worm on the ground. The worm that can turn the tables, that can change the world. It turns the underground, it keeps the earth moving. The worm moves the Earth to all intents and purposes, the lowliest of creatures’

Liz fell asleep for a few minutes just as the last tune was ending. When she woke up she heard a noise that seemed to come from somewhere else in the cabinet...

AUDIO CLIP

‘...It seemed to come from somewhere else… golden… something like the name Golda Meir… looked like a great wave, burnished gold… I see a little bird, robin’

‘Seeing the relatives all being together and talking, the dust of the Earth… multitudes… This image, a fence, white wire fence trodden into the earth, teeming multitudes back into the forest’

‘I’m just left with one word, grace… and grace having many meanings… by the grace of God and grace also being thankfulness, gratitude, gracias… grateful grace of the multitudes, the dust of the Earth, for the many that are also one…’

‘I’m left with a chair and it’s empty, I should sit on it’

The music had ended.

We had both fallen asleep for short periods during the session.

Once Liz was feeling back with it she did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…


77th Sitting 25/08/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off on a mud-flat and there was an enormous red tower in the middle like a light house. She felt she had to climb it so went inside where there was a spiral leading to the top. It was like the inside of a gourd, shiny, highly polished. Instead of sliding down like a helter-skelter she slid up it. At the top was a platform where she found she was amongst the clouds and there were wonderful rainbows in the clouds. Liz decided to dive into one of these clouds as it looked like a marshmallow.  She wanted to fly with the clouds so turned into a sea gull enjoying flying over the sea but she knew she had to get somewhere, somewhere quite mountainous. She thought at first it was Tibet but then realised it was Holy Island and Samye Ling. Liz found herself in an enormous red temple like the inside of a Tibetan temple. She was listening to the sounds of the gongs and horns. An ohm was resonating through the universe and she realised she was back in the cave on Holy Island in what she calls the navel of the World, the centre of the World and Liz had the feeling she had had before when she’d been there, a vision and revelation with the words… ‘There’s nowhere to go to be outside the love of God’ and she’d seen the colours there, the colours often used in the Tibetan Thangka paintings, pea green, orange, red and blue. She felt very in-touch with the depth of that tradition that all phenomena are seen as products of the mind as dreams. This reality, this phenomenal reality is a dream…

I started off sitting in the cabinet and stood up, parted the curtains and walked out into the pitch black room. I seemed to be walking on pieces of sheet metal making a noise as I walked. I felt things dangling from the ceiling brushing against my face and then I saw pin pricks, wispy mists and all the phenomena we normally see in our séances along with rainbows stretching across the room. Then a trumpet came flying by and I felt breezes. I decided to grab hold of one of the dangling things and found it to be a rope so I climbed up it and went straight through the ceiling and into the room above. I found myself in the middle of a circle. The room was light but I couldn’t see the source of the light. I felt the circle was made up of people or entities of some sort but just saw them as mist all joined together making a continuous circle of mist. As I stood there in the middle I felt a pulling in all directions out towards the circle making me expand towards and into the circle until I was one with the circle. I could see my physical body from all angles at the same time like a panorama. The circle then became a sphere and part of it went through into the room below. I got the feeling that this was the spirit team that worked with us showing me themselves in a way I could understand. I looked at the base of the sphere and saw it was dripping into the room below as if representing the information they were able to get through to us…

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

It was looking lighter in the room to me, particularly at ground level.
It looked uniformly dark to Liz.

Liz saw some moving white lights coming and going.
I saw white wispy bits swirling around.

I got a few images of faces, none that I recognised.
I felt the room was full of people.
Then I got a bright blob in front of me that lasted a few minutes.

Liz had an image of someone with a crown on their head looking like an upside-down chandelier.  

I got an image of a Buddha floating round the room.

Liz was feeling cold.
I felt warm.

Liz had the sense of an enormous still lake with a mirror like surface. She watched it.

As the last tune was playing Liz began to speak…

‘Daisy… silk embroidery, working with clothes… a slightly pungent smell like a grass, daisies, crushed daisies… It’s like walking on eggshells… like the skin of the World, this shiny surface, feeling this shining surface, this skin like a polished mirror and the inside is like the inside of the eyeball… When I ask them what does this image relate to? I was told the World… There’s a sense of the syllables, the sounds… there’s too much to tell… An instruction has been given but the words and meanings have been hidden but they are there for all to see, to hear… held within this daisy flower, very simple… I’m shown that having these places of power, hidden instruction is given, is revealed in the form of visions, in the form of seeing, hearing, and these teachings are for everyone to be shared. Don’t dismiss them idly, understand that they are the whisperings of truth… sound being the vehicle for instruction and the dissemination of truth, sound in all its forms, vibration on the surface, the still surface reflects it, the eyeball of the World’

The music had ended.

Liz had been in a slightly altered state for most of the session but remained aware.            

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

76th Sitting 04/08/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

At 8.40pm I did the opening prayer, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off on a pebble beach cut into a grass bank of a fast flowing river. To her right was a flat wooden bridge like two wide railway sleepers stretched over the river. Liz walked over it and could feel the warm smooth wood under her feet. On the other side she walked onto wonderful springy grass studded with colourful wild flowers looking like jewels going up a hill side. Liz climbed up to the top of the hill, she wanted to go where the rainbows were but hadn’t seen any yet. At the top it was a great vista looking over more hills and countryside with snow topped mountains in the distance. She saw rain and snow clouds over the mountains like weather fronts, a wonderful mix of shadows, light and colours. Liz then felt a presence overshadowing her and she saw there was a cross on the hillside. She got the words of the hymn… ‘There is a green hill far away…’ She felt the footsteps leading up the hill were the way to the cross and she felt her arms going out to the side identifying with the figure of Jesus, the Christ, the suffering and she didn’t want it, she wanted the rainbows, she wanted the ease not the difficulties, this slow torturous path of service but she felt that was the way she’d been going and had to go. Suddenly Liz felt the cross was turning into a staircase and she walked up it, going up and up into the sky. The steps were almost golden. It went through the clouds and Liz couldn’t see where she was going. She lost all sense of time and place but she kept climbing blindly. Eventually she went through a hole in the clouds to a wonderful golden lake full of liquid gold and she just wanted to immerse herself in it and swim. She fell backwards into it. It was as if she had come to the place of rainbows but it was gold, like the sun in water, it was beyond description but felt like she had finally found what she was aiming for…

I started off standing by a large airplane and decided to board it so climbed up the steps and into the side door. When inside it looked like I was in a rib cage and I felt I was inside a giant living animal of some sort. The seats were wooden benches so I sat down on one and watched the other people coming in. They were a mixture of colours and nationalities and soon filled up the inside of this plane or creature. When the door closed we were plunged into darkness as there were no windows. I could feel it accelerating and taking off and then found myself tuning into the eyes of this creature and could see what it could see. We were very close to the ground flying through long silver grass then went higher out of the grass into a brilliant blue sky and over vivid countryside. We flew over a large lake that seemed to be dotted by whirlpools. As we climbed higher we came to a snow topped mountain and flew round it a few times. I could see other planes also flying round this mountain. Next we headed out to sea and I noticed the sky was turning red and the sea seemed to be boiling sending steam into the atmosphere creating a thick fog. It got so thick I couldn’t see anything again and we appeared to be flying blindly. Eventually the fog cleared and we landed back where we had taken off. The door opened lighting up the inside and I got off with the others and saw more people waiting to board for their trip…

Interestingly we both experienced travelling blindly.

I put the music back on.

The room now looked misty to me.
I saw a few flashes and pin-pricks above me.

I had a kind of floating feeling.
There were bright blobs in front of me.
I had pressure on my right ear.

Liz got the word ‘Haliborange’
Neither of us knew at the time but it is the name of a vitamin tablet.

I had a pressure on my left ear.
I got a feeling of something shooting through me from head to feet and then my feet went cold.

Liz had a pulsing on her left forefinger and pins and needles in her head.
She became aware of watching people weaving branches, making a lattice work.

Liz began to speak…

‘I have this web, it’s like gossamer, like a net curtain, delicate, like a fisherman’s net, fishers of men, between the two isles… deep sea divers bringing up pearls… nuggets of wisdom… outward expression of the distillation of experience’

‘Bright corn, ready to be harvested, bright grains… experience, harvest… I think we misrepresent experiences, this newspaper façade of images, of information, of pageant, stories, very superficial, sort of running on the surface noise, it’s like mining for gold, panning for gold, big sieves, amongst the mud, the grains and the grains when sifted out of raw debris an ounce of gold… pounds of debris and an ounce of gold’

Liz was getting very hot.

‘I’ve got silicon or silverman… a sense of silver coins… Sydney Silverman, I think had a connection with abolition of hanging… I have the name Mavis or Maisy… I got the image of a hangman’s rope in connection with justice, silver scales… I just have the feeling of the struggle in this life to bring through these values, justice, all these things they seem to have to be fought for… again like gleaming droplets of gold amongst all the mire, pearl in the depths, to extract these, to bring out the essential in this mire of profanity which can be the mental noise of human existence is difficult to sustain, to sustain the effort, to clarify, to hold the vision, it needs to maintain the focus, that intention, once you’ve grasped the shining quality to hold on to the vision, to pursue it because it will lead to the truth’

‘Panacea… Panacea is something that will solve all problems and illness… Haliborange’

‘I’m wanting to ask what it’s like to die, the next step. I have this feeling of this great sea of molten gold like stepping into the sea with the sunrise on it, the sun as it’s rising it’s spreading its gold over the whole sea, is like a molten furnace of gold and just the brightness and the wonderful goldenness is homing in and immersing me and you can surrender to it. It’s the ultimate transition of Narcissus, from the I to the not I, yet still I, I am’

The music ended.

Liz had dropped off at the beginning of the session for a while and I had dropped off several times.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

During the healing I got the feeling the door was open and people were going up and down a corridor outside. It felt like a hospital…

75th Sitting 21/07/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz found herself walking along stepping stones, one step at a time and entering into some green woods where she saw a little elfin figure dressed in green playing a flute who led her on into the woods and out the other side where Liz saw a hill ahead. She climbed it and at the top was a cross, a crucifix. She found herself standing in front of it with her arms outstretched and then she seemed to be at a water curtain cave with the monkeys and lots of rainbows dancing again. Inside the cave all the monkeys were sitting absolutely still in a semi-circle, entranced, looking into an incredibly deep pool. They were looking at the pure still water as if trying to see the substance of the water. They were contemplating the substance of being, of consciousness, of awareness. It was the same; it was as if they were in it but trying to be aware of it, to contemplate it. It was keeping this incredible stillness. Liz was being shown the need to hold and maintain that stillness of attention, that it was very important. Normally the monkeys are very active but this was holding on to this precious sense of presence, of awareness being aware of itself in the nature of water…  

I started off in a green tent or wigwam. My initial feeling was to come out of it but something stopped me. The tent then started to get bigger and bigger, either that or I was getting smaller. A rope ladder suddenly appeared hanging down in front of me so I decided to climb it. As I went up I felt filled with energy pushing me higher and higher. The atmosphere got darker and I started to see stars and planets as I went up into space. I kept thinking I was going to reach the end of the ladder but it kept on going with no ending. I thought about jumping off but I was afraid of letting go and hurtling back down to Earth so kept going. Then the ladder took me through a cloud like pink blancmange and I stepped off the ladder to find I could walk on it without going through. The cloud seemed to get bigger as I walked across it and I saw various animals looking like The Clangers dotted about. I then saw a tall thin house which I headed for and went in. Inside I met my gran and grandad. I asked them ‘Where am I?’ and they told me I wasn’t anywhere really, I’d created this place myself with my imagination and because they had linked into my thoughts they could share my creation and had come here to meet me. They went on to explain that it was very similar on the Earth. We all create our own realities but they are shared realities as we are all linked together but we interpret it in our own individual way. My gran then gave me a bowl of homemade porridge which I enjoyed as I pondered over what they had said…

I put the music back on.

I was getting cold round my legs, a bit like a breeze.
I saw a few flashes above me and the room looked misty and wavy.
I felt a tickle on the back of my right leg.
I had pressure on my right ear, then the left one and then I heard buzzing in both ears.
The room started to look blobby.

Liz drifted off for a while.

I had a sensation under my right ear like something was trickling down from it.

Liz sensed a little mouse scurrying.

I had an image of a wooden chest of draws being painted pale blue.
I felt a vibration on my right foot.

Liz then said…

‘I seem to be looking at the large walls of a ruin, I don’t know where it is but it’s like the ruins in Greece. It’s more like a modern wall; it’s got concrete in it’

Liz was getting images of bees, locusts and insects.
She got the song words…  Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

I felt a pressure on my throat like a finger pressing on it.

Liz continued…

‘It’s this garden that I seem to be in, walled garden, green lettuce, lots of insects, bees especially, foxgloves, hollyhocks… I’ve got a feeling of Benedictine… like a monk, a white robe but it doesn’t have sleeves… Michael… Something prickly, like a needle and thread, they’re book binding, making books’

‘I’ve got Rupert… and Roy… it’s the feeding of the lambs, around the feet of this monk I saw sheep and lambs… I seem to be getting lots of images of people and some of the children I’ve worked with, it’s like I was being shown to light a lamp, illumination…’

‘I’m coming back to Michael as I want to know if he has anything particular to say, I do have this funny image of communications, tin cans and string between them like children make’

‘I don’t think we can judge anyone, many we think are maverick, they’re just shaking up the beliefs and establishment, playfully poking fun at beliefs and structures that are outmoded’

‘Seem to have gone from brother Michael to these old Zen monks of Japan in caves, they are quite crazy, their methods were, leading people to enlightenment, sometimes shock tactics, using paradoxes and imponderables turning the mind upside-down’

Liz had a pressure on the bridge of her nose.

She continued…

‘I’ve got Iris… Irene… pot of precious gems… black academic robe like grammar school teachers would wear’

‘Got the image of a butterfly, spots on it, a richness of environment, the pearl edged fritillary… So what’s the message? Prediction again… spaces… yes the children, keep the lamps alight…’

‘That gown again and the association with old desks and school rooms, dusty old school rooms, teaching. I see these bright gardens and bright spaces with butterflies and underneath it is love, that’s the barometer, the true teaching of richness of any experience if it puts you in touch with love, if it increases the love, if there is love there that’s a good lesson. It can appear in the most unlikely places’

The music ended.

It took Liz a while to come completely back as she still had a strong link with Brother Michael, someone she had known in the physical life.

I got a sudden image of blue flowers in a green hedge.
I had drifted off briefly a few times towards the end.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

74th Sitting 14/07/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz found herself by a little trickling waterfall and stream somewhere in Scotland. She was quite happy sitting there for a while and then became aware of a cave behind the waterfall which transformed into the Chinese myth of the Monkey King. Liz went behind a curtain into the cave which was a wonderful jewelled place, full of rainbows and monkeys playing. At the back of the cave was an altar, a place of worship. There was a candle and Liz wanted to focus on the flame and still her mind. The light spread out and transposed into a figure, a great spiritual leader like the Buddha with lots of artefacts and rituals. Then a simple man in a white robe came through and led Liz out of the cave to sit on the grass, a simple place. Then they went and got in a boat, a bit like a Chinese boat. There were many people rowing it and they were looking for a place to pull in on the other side of the river. They came to a jetty and climbed out where there seemed to be a long procession of people going past and Liz wanted to reach out to these rainbow people, spiritual beings. Liz followed them into a sacred grove of fruit trees and ash trees. They were all sitting in a circle there and Liz joined them. She had this feeling throughout of wanting stillness and simplicity…

I started off in water with my eyes just above the surface looking out at an empty and quiet swimming baths. Then it suddenly filled with people jumping in and swimming having a great time and making lots of noise. The scene then changed to a playground with the grownups playing cricket and the children on swings and slides. It changed again to a busy street with everyone rushing to get somewhere and then it was a market place with crowds of people pushing and shoving, and stall holders shouting to sell their goods. Things then quietened down as I found myself in a country scene with lots of green grass, trees and flowers. All I could hear was the song of a skylark flying above me and I sat there enjoying the peace and beauty. I then heard a lot of noise and commotion behind me and turned round to see a battle being fought by hundreds of soldiers on horseback. It was a scene of devastation and wounded and dying bodies lay on the ground. It was like I was between the two opposites of peace and war. I tried to concentrate more on the peaceful scene for a while and when I looked behind me again the battle had finished and people were helping the wounded. Then I noticed they all suddenly became aware of the song of the skylark above them and they all stopped to listen. It seemed to make them realise the futility of war and how the world was a beautiful place and there for everybody to share. Two soldiers who had just been fighting each other burst into tears of laughter as they realised how stupid and pointless their battle had been…

I put the music back on.

I had a bright blob taking up my whole vision and tightness on my forehead.
The room felt like it was expanding to me and then I felt like I was outside.

Liz got the sensation of lots of faces, blob shapes which became more defined.

I was getting cold round my legs and arms.
It now looked misty to me.

Liz saw shapes moving horizontally left to right.
She got the name ‘Maureen’ and ‘Vera’
She wasn’t sure if it was ‘Maureen’ or ‘Monica’

Liz had a sense of something silver, silver cuff links, possibly a present and a bicycle.

I got an image of sliced ginger cake and a bicycle.

I had popping in my left ear.

Liz got a connection between Maureen and a bicycle.

I had an image of a medium sized dark coloured dog with floppy ears.

Liz had a creeping, pulling feeling on her scalp.
She sensed darkness on her left side indicating a presence with her.
She felt it was Maureen, someone she knew.

Liz then said…

‘I have a sense of a large lawn with flowers like a convalescent place, a crenulated building… I’ve got a feeling of something silky, silk… I’ve got this sense of a large parachute, somebody’s landed safely… I just wondered if the ginger cake was for a birthday… I’ve got the flower iris’

‘Like a ship in a bottle, something big, constrained into a tight form, now climbing out, nice and free…’

Liz had images of St George and the English flag, knights in armour, damsel in distress.

She then had images of caterpillars paralleled with the ship in the bottle as the butterfly emerges.

Liz continued…

‘In the case of the caterpillar and the chrysalis… in the chrysalis it looks as though it’s the dormant stage, nothing is happening, like it’s inanimate, but things are happening inside and eventually, it may be a long time, the new spiritual being flies free. Like someone maybe who’s been in a coma for a long time, it would seem as though that was a long dormant period but things are happening on the inner planes, finally there’s a transformation and the spiritual being, that portion, is freed’  

‘I had a sensation of a blackboard suggesting a school, lessons going on, still learning’

‘I seem to be in a snowy forest, snow coming down… it keeps on snowing, there’s a big man in helmet and goggles… silver again… got a sledge, fir trees… I’ve got the name Cuthbert again’

‘Got the name Timothy, somebody who’s trapped or a trapper, just got a feeling of wanting a fire in this forest’

‘For some reason I’ve got the image of the nursery rhyme… There was an old lady who lived in a shoe… I saw the shoe house’

‘I’ve got this strange sensation as if I’m turning into a horse, my hair and face… I feel perfectly equipped for carrying people on my back, I don’t know how people can be cruel to me but I feel very strong and I’ve got used to carrying people, I enjoy it, feels like a partnership. It seems as if I started off as a parody, like Muffin the Mule or Bobbin, a comic horse… but I seem to have grown into something sensitive and intelligent. I don’t think they realise that I have this intelligence. Inside a being, a person, a personality, something far more than a beast of burden, I’m a horse and a human being, a hybrid… If you look into my eyes you will see’

The music ended.

Liz had the name ‘Oberon’ for the horse.

I had fallen asleep at the end of the session.
Liz had remained aware throughout.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.
