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...

71st Sitting 23/06/2015


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 Visualisation Exercise…

Liz found herself on the muddy, slippery bank of an enormous brown river. She was entranced with looking into the water and decided to swim under the water. Jumping in it was all rainbows, bulrushes and lily stems going down into the mud. Amongst these were many insects, newts and snakes. Liz felt she was with them all in a wonderful world. She found her way onto a lily pad and remembered how she had watched newts sunbathing and dragonflies laying their eggs under lily pads. The sun was raining down when suddenly a great white hand came down from the clouds and lifted Liz up towards an enormous city of light. There were white and gold buildings and she was placed on the top of a tall white tower. There was a telescope pointing at the stars and looking through it Liz could see millions of galaxies. She became aware of a sense of scale. While under the water she’d had water nymphs talking to her and now she had beings talking to her about the difference of scale and was asked to look at her hand and realise that all the structures and cells of it were great universes in their own right, an infinity of space. Then she got to see how our physical world could just be a very small portion of some enormous being, part of their hand, these different scales and at some level it’s all held together. Liz was told that she was there already, she’s seeing all the levels, all the scales but it’s a bit like when one half of the globe is in darkness and as it turns gradually towards the sun all the dark areas are illuminated so what was just a pool of darkness becomes desserts, mountains, forests etc… the detail is shown and so it is in enlightenment creeping through all the vibrational levels of being at different times but we’re focused in one level while in reality we are all the levels and our seeing can encompass all the levels but we are choosing to just stick with this level. If we choose we can turn to the sun and it will allow us to rotate and illuminate all the levels of our multidimensional being which holds everything…

I started off in a warehouse looking at sacks of potatoes against a wall. I wanted to move on somewhere else but something kept me there. Then I saw the sacks parting down the centre revealing a cave opening in the wall. I walked into the cave where it was pitch black but I felt I could sense where the walls were and followed it along turning corners without hitting anything. It felt good being in there. After a while I noticed light ahead and came into a room filled with burning candles all over the floor. In the centre was a round pond and the water was full of ripples as if something was dripping into it. I knelt down at the edge of the pond looking at my wobbly reflection in the ripples then noticed other people’s reflections next to mine and all around the pond. When I looked up I saw I had been joined by a group of hooded monks all gazing into the pond. Suddenly a shaft of light hit the pond as the roof started to open letting in the bright sunlight. Eventually the roof and the walls disappeared and we were now sitting outside in a beautiful scene of green grass, trees and flowers. The colours were vivid and fresh like a spring morning. I was told by an unseen voice that this was truly how our world should look and would look like this to everybody if they began to think with love and looked for the good in everything. All the negativities in our world are created by us but with effort we can look beyond this and see the world as it truly is. The more we do this the more beauty we create…

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

I had a pressure on my forehead and felt light headed.
The atmosphere looked flashy to me, almost like sheet lightening.
My right leg went cold.

Liz drifted off for a while and I was feeling increasingly tired.

I had a strong sense of being in a church.
I sensed the cold stone walls, wooden pews and even picked up a church like smell.

Liz started to speak…

‘I seem to be looking at this table of cakes and gateaux, all rather rich. Someone is cutting large slices… I’m aware of a very thin looking woman…’

‘Got the name Vi… Violet just came into my head, something to do with bicycles’

‘I keep coming back to a lot of old school people trying to interpret messages in the old school way but it doesn’t tie in with the modern vernacular how it is. They’re being urged to refresh’

‘Keep coming back to food, looking at chunks of food’

‘I’ve got a sense of the Ark, the animals going in two by two’

‘Get the name Naomi’

‘I’ve got the sense of a straw basket, like a trug’

‘I’ve got spectacles, a pair of spectacles’

‘I’m looking at a large empty chair, like a plain wooden throne’

‘I’ve got the name Steel; I thought of Tommy Steel, he’s strumming a guitar. Looks like an electric guitar’

‘I’ve got that sensation of my scalp shrinking’

‘I’ve got a letter, somebody called Kierup or Kipper…’

‘Cold… snowy mountain… cold…’

‘Someone’s telling me to save information, load the data stick… but I haven’t got any information there… I keep coming back to the feeling that Vi was Di… got the sense of a race track, racing a sports car’

‘I’ve got telluric again’

‘I keep coming back to a message about climate change; it’s to do with the Ark’

‘Right at the beginning I had this little mouse or a rat, a very fine one; rather beautiful but maybe it was somebody’s pet?’

‘Velvet Underground, name of a group’

‘Got the name Pamela… Sheridan…’

‘Sense of ivory, ivory clock, timing devise’

‘I’ve suddenly got a sense of Pied Piper of Hamlin, the story, of course the plague of rats, the town being plagued, becoming a pestilence and the Pied Piper appears and promises to rid the town of rats, but he ends up, the politicians and mayor won’t pay him so he takes all the children off, he spirits them away… I guess there’s a danger that we’re losing the plot, we’re not fulfilling our bargain, cleaning up the Earth and there’s a price to pay for that. The price is our future generations…’

The music ended.

Liz had an image of a golden crown.

I had dropped off to sleep briefly at times during the session and now felt quite drained of energy.

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

70th Sitting 09/06/2015


The room was setup as usual

This week we went back to playing music throughout the session.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm then turned out the light.
I put the music on for our Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started at a red brick bridge over a river with canal boats. There were a few drinkers dossing under the bridge and on the other side Liz could see it was like the Bruderhof, communities of people in strange black and white old fashioned dress, farming people and they were waving to Liz as if they knew her. She crossed the bridge stopping half way to look down at the swans and canal boats passing under the bridge. When she got to the other side she met old Dick the farrier who gave Liz a big hug and took her around the site. There were lots of animals and various crafts going on. Liz then realized the purpose of her visit and she made her way to a large meeting room. It was all blue with blue velvet everywhere and a large computer in the centre of the room. Everyone was sitting in a circle all holding hands and reaching out like a witches hat joining hands over the middle of the circle. Then Liz saw blue-cross nurses. They were taking long blue ribbons from the centre of the circle going out to all the people, especially the handicapped. Whenever a request had been made for healing this blue ribbon was sent out to the person and once that connection had been made that person would be helped. They told Liz this was just one of many healing circles and just one method of doing it…

I started off walking along a street on the path with the road to my right and terraced houses to my left. It was very quiet with a few people about and the odd car on the road. I kept noticing the tall street lamps that lined the street as I passed them. It seemed to get busier the further I went until it got to the point where I could hardly move for people all trying to get somewhere in a rush and there was now a traffic jam of cars getting nowhere fast. I felt uncomfortable there and looked up again at the street lamps then imagined myself on top of one looking down at the mass of people and cars. I looked up and saw birds flying about freely in the vast expanse of sky and decided I wanted to do that so became a bird and joined them in the sky flying away from this place over countryside to a large mountain that had just one man standing at the top. He was surrounded by birds and as I got close I saw he was feeding them. I landed and changed back into myself again. He told me how anybody could come to this place whenever they wanted just by stopping what they were doing for a few minutes and imagining themselves here. Everyone can benefit from doing this and it will improve their lives by taking them away from the unproductive rat race they’ve all created for themselves. Life is to be enjoyed and only we can all create a better life for ourselves…

I put the music back on.

I felt a strong pressure on my forehead. It was like having a band around my head.
It began to look blobby in front of me.
My legs got cold, and then I was cold all over.
I felt tickles down the right side of my neck.

Liz was drifting off.

I felt tickles in my hair.
It was now looking lighter and misty to me.

I got some images of giant bees.

Then I got an image of shiny snakes being illuminated by yellow light. It was as if I was viewing them from underneath.

Liz got ‘Tennis rackets and somebody smoking a pipe, an urge to enjoy, recreation…’

She continued…

‘I see lots of lovely flowers, a garden full of ivy flowers, green colours… We have a Garden of Eden here on Earth and it’s underestimated. The power of recreation and how important these activities are, just having fun, enjoying’

‘Bill, I’ve got Bill… and an image of a zebra crossing’

I’d noticed some flowery smells earlier and now picked up a smell like cheese biscuits.

Liz continued…

‘I seem to be in this park, parkland, Richmond Park, there are squirrels’

‘I keep coming back to the importance of unstructured activity, the walks, outings… The word keeps coming back, kaleidoscope… I guess the kaleidoscope is just a restructuring all the time of the elements, the same elements, they’re just being restructured, re-patterned’

‘Mary Anne’

Liz felt the music was interfering so I turned it down until I could only just hear it.

Liz then continued…

‘There’s a lady called Yvonne… double trouble… dark figure in the background, African gentleman… I’ve got a sense of arms and knees, sledges or skis, ski slopes’

‘We bury the beautiful body, it’s like the kaleidoscope, the elements have just all got shuffled around again, that beauty goes on, it’s just reconfigured…’

‘These collisions, things happen but life goes on in one way or another… The valuable recollections, times in the park, a peaceful time, autumn colours, cherish those moments, water under the bridge. By looking into the stream many reflections and the reflections aren’t the real thing, the reflections are changing, the water is changing… everything is reconfigured… looking for what’s constant. Pull all my pieces together to have some semblance of I, the I underneath it all’

‘A difficult thing to maintain focus when you are so many… I can be the black bird, I can be the snow, all the reflections but in the physical world it’s much easier to be one thing, to hold the focus, to sustain identity. Out here beyond I can be all the stars in the universe, all the stones in the sea… Where’s my beginning, where’s my end’

‘I’ve got Toby…’

‘Memorabilia is like ashes, most is like empty medals, bits of ribbon, they’re not worth hanging onto, scraps, not important. The most important thing is the park… it’s the quality of the enjoyment’

Liz got the names… ‘Mirabel Brooks and Duncan’

The music CD ended.

Liz had felt a lot of people about tonight.
She had drifted off briefly at the beginning but remained aware for most of the session.

I’d also drifted off a bit at the beginning of the session but remained aware for the rest of it.

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

69th Sitting 02/06/2015


We had the room set-up as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.45pm, turned out the light and put the music on for our Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off on a shingle shore of an enormous lake. The water was crystal clear and very inviting. There were rainbows everywhere above it like bridges that seemed to be dancing. Liz wanted to go under them and she decided to cross the lake under the water. She dived in and became a mermaid with a fish’s tail and then turned into a dolphin or whale. When she came to the other side she changed back into a person and came out of the water then up into the air into the clouds and rainbows. It was like she was swimming backwards on her back in the clouds, gliding, a wonderful experience, incredible sense of freedom, traversing all the elements. Liz felt like she was dancing and was joined by hundreds of invisible beings enjoying this dance. Suddenly it was like Liz was lifted up and she wasn’t just one person anymore, she’d become all of these invisible beings, a circle of dancers all reaching up like a fountain of light beyond the rainbows into an incredible white light. It was like there was a layer of golden white clouds and the circle of dancers had reached out through them into this new area that was blinding like the sun, all white. It was so bright she almost couldn’t go there. Liz then dissolved into pure being; it was like the substance of water, completely clear, lucid and empty. It was the substance of everything and everywhere, like complete beingness, just the I, the I am. She had an image of an endless hierarchy of beings, this enormous being that was beyond knowing contained all the other beings like a series of Russian dolls, each level containing the other level within it. Liz then decided to return to the phenomenal world so came back, joined the dancers, and then went backwards into the air and the sea landing on the shingle shore…

I started off going down a long slide twisting down the side of a mountain to a sandy beach where I got off. I felt I was a young child and saw many more children on the beach. We were all making sand castles with buckets. I then became aware of somebody standing over me, observing and noticed none of the other children were aware of this person. Then I became that person and realised it was me observing myself as a young boy. I thought if I could do that then maybe I could see myself as I would be in the future? I concentrated on doing this and very slowly a scene appeared in front of me. At first I saw a massive rainbow; unclear at first then it gradually became focused and crystal clear. I saw two chromium objects, a bit like large pillars but shaped like tear drops. Then I saw a huge face of a black man looking a bit scary at first, not moving, and then it became alive and opened its eyes and smiled. I felt an intense feeling of warmth and love as it did this. He began to talk an explained that I couldn’t yet perceive myself in the future but could get a feeling of it and that was what I had just experienced. He advised me to keep on my pathway and know when I strayed from it as it would not feel right. When things don’t feel right then it’s time to change direction. He also stressed the importance of understanding how everybody else was on their own pathway and even though what they were doing may not seem right for me it is right and beneficial for them. It’s not what you do that matters it’s what you gain from it to help you grow that is important and everybody has a different way of doing this. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong. Accept this and you will feel more at ease with everybody and ultimately the Earth will benefit. He also went on to say how we should all pursue our physical interests and hobbies. Not to spend all our time in spiritual pursuits. The physical is what we are here for and we can learn a lot from intermingling with others on this physical plane…

I then put on the first tune before turning off the volume for the rest of our session.

We both felt a bit spaced out.

Liz had her eyes closed and sensed white shapes moving through her.

I picked up a soapy smell.

Liz got the image of wedding dresses.

It looked light around the outside of my vision and dark in the centre. This gave me the image of looking down into a bird’s nest. 

Liz had the sense of a patchwork of different colour fields as if looking down from a plane.
She got the word ‘Grimsby’ in connection with this.

I had the sense of swimming through something.
It was now looking dark with bright blobs coming and going to me.

Liz heard ‘An octogenarian’
She felt a stabbing feeling in the top left hand part of her nose in connection with a strong feeling of her Auntie Di.

I sensed someone standing to my right. They were crouching then stood up and I could almost see them as a black silhouette as they did this.
I got a strong fuzzy cold feeling on my right side. It felt like they were moving into me then it felt like my right leg had dissolved.

Liz got the name ‘Carol Lewis’ a friend of hers.

I started to feel very drained and tired and drifted off briefly at times during the session.

Liz felt cold. She said it was like being in a cool breeze.
I felt warm.

Liz had a sense of ‘Goldilocks’

She continued…

‘It’s like looking at a keyboard, black notes and white notes… cosmic rangers…’

‘Calibrate… tick-tock clock… I got a strong sense of Sheila… Copenhagen…’

I was hearing a few light taps to my right.

Liz continued…

‘Equinox, a box, coffin… the coffin is like a doorway, the shape of the coffin is like the hull of a boat. That wooden shape that you think is a box, the end, the final container, is actually like a doorway. It is like the hull of a boat taking us into a sea, into new lands, a voyage, a journey, into exploration and then we have these marvellous discoveries, to learn new ways of being… I’ve been given the key to unlock the coffin. What we see as finality is infinite; it’s only opening doors, going from room to room’

‘I got this image of a great tree and the branches are spreading out and the twigs on the end are growing, keeps growing, spreading out and out and out, tendrils going out and out and out, it’s endless growth. It’s an image of fractals, dimensions, infinite dimensions…’

I noticed two flashes from Liz’s direction. It reminded me of a lighthouse going round.

Liz continued…

‘The image I have is like out of the seed planted in the fertile soil of this Earth, this planet, this tree grows and emerges this growth. It starts here, this is the fertile Earth and this seed, we are emerging from this seed, a green shoot at first, it’s hard to see what it’s like. I have this sense of it spreading, almost like looking at a crack that’s spreading through a sheet of ice… That’s an interesting image in the finality of it, the crack expands and expands and expands across the ice sheet which breaks up and in the end is just the clear water until it freezes over again… these images are just ways of trying to understand the evolution of life, what life is’

‘Garden child, Margarite… the child looks like Alice in Wonderland. I see this castle of cards, a pack of cards, big or small. She sees through the phenomenal nature of all creation, the dream, ultimately all aspects of her… Alice was very lonely in that realisation’

‘Beetle… I’ve got a sense of somebody here, coming very close, Gavin… It’s a crossing, an elephant… a circus, it’s a big top, the circus master, moustache, seem to be going round and round like a trapeze artist, somebody’s wanting to let out all the animals… A zebra crossing… it’s the psychedelic glasses… I got such a fix with John Lennon and Yoko Ono…’  

‘It’s like the Mad Hatter’s tea party, a big table, they’re reshaping reality, parallel shifting, keep at it… castles in the sky’

‘Now I see the relevance of it, it was the tune in, turn on, the psychedelic scene with the magic mushrooms, all of that, that was the beginning, it was to try and change the whole energy, paradigm shifting, that from that time it’s evolved into the consciousness movement, the new age growth with techniques, a more slower development but it’s this impulse to transform to get 10% of the world’s population turned on, tuned in, shifted, evolved, a breakthrough. I want to ask the question… How do we do it? Can we help? Are we helping? There are people who have passed over who are more active now, in a better position, are working still, beaming down. This is like the satellite, you have a universal worldwide coverage, satellite transmission, that’s the new age, you can get one message of inspiration through and it can get viral, beam down, tune in, broadcast worldwide, that’s the way now… I think that’s the new generation that are primed, ready to receive the transmission… I got this image of a ladder on the other side that those who passed over had to climb, it’s ongoing… I get this image of a ship with the rigging, they’re climbing up to the crow’s nest, from there they can beam down and transmit. They have to get there first and they’re getting there… This is important that we like many others on the ground are preparing ourselves, putting ourselves in the position to receive, reception needs earthing’

‘I get this picture of this black scribble, I think Ivy is connected and my friend Sarah… Had a hog… Hogmanay… hero of heroin… It’s connected with Doris Hogslander, the wedding dress at the beginning, and her daughter, and the whole psychedelic scene… I need to ask what is it you want to say? I got the word butterscotch, the tartan box, keep coming back to Scotland… I don’t know where it is, I think Doris gave me a painting, must find it, it may be in my trunk…’

The session came to an end.

I asked Liz if she had any more to say.

‘No, but I feel this is pointing to Holy Island somehow, off the coast of Arran… Seems to be a vortex there, the hub… We’re getting there’

Liz had sensed a lot of her friends with her, some very powerful.

I was still feeling very drained and tired.
Liz was the opposite felling very energised, she hadn’t drifted off at all this evening.

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