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...

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…
