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...

135th Sitting 11/04/2017


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 7.05pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise...

Liz started off on a ledge at the top of an enormous ravine with waterfalls and rainbows either side of her. To cross over there was a bridge made of vines and creepers like banana leaves. It looked incredibly scary, a shaky rope bridge hundreds of feet across. Part of Liz thought she didn't have to use the bridge, she could just fly over but she also felt she should go over the physical way. She felt all these fears not trusting that the bridge would support her. She could see creatures on the other side like unicorns and lots of magical things enticing her over so Liz started to cross carefully feeling each strut and supporting herself. It was swaying with big gaps between the creepers like being in a big wire mesh basket. Liz then became aware that the creepers had turned into thick hairy rope, more robust and substantial, she was creating the bridge as she went over it and had to concentrate on each piece as she went. Liz eventually reached the other side and stepped up onto a wooden platform. She found herself on a chalky grassland. The questions came to her mind... What made her cross? Why did she need to cross? She felt she had to sit down for a while before going anywhere and contemplate that question...

I started off at the edge of a chalky cliff a bit like Beachy Head, standing on the grass looking over the edge. I couldn't see the bottom as there was a thick layer of fog and I got the urge to jump into this fog but at the same time thought that was a dangerous idea. Eventually I built up the courage to jump but instead of going straight down I found myself on a kind of slide and then realised I was sliding down a giant snake going up and down its curved body and then off the end and onto another snake. There were lots of snakes there preventing me from getting into the fog. After a while I slid off one of the snakes and landed back on the edge of the cliff. When I looked down again I couldn't see the snakes so jumped off again but the same thing happened. The snakes only seemed to be there when I jumped. I turned round and saw there was a wall of fog behind me so started to walk towards it but as I did so it moved further away from me so I never reached it. I sat down on a bench to assess the situation and saw a man walk out of the fog dressed like a knight from the times of King Arthur. He sat down on the bench but didn't seem to see me. I tried to touch him but my hand went through him as if he was made of fog. I then tried to reach the fog again running as fast as I could but the faster I went the faster the fog receded so I gave up and returned to the bench where the man had disappeared...

There were lots of similarities in our visualisations this week.

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

The atmosphere looked flashy to me especially near the ceiling and I could see this with my eyes open or closed.
I felt a pressure on my right ear and it looked light to my right.
I saw bright blobs coming and going in front of me.

I fell asleep for about 10 mins waking up just before the music stopped.

Liz had been drifting in and out of sleep while the music was playing.
She started to speak just after it finished. Her voice was a bit slurred at first and she later said it felt like her body was still asleep during the communication...

'I have the sense of the umbrella and a bridge and the connection between, a different dimension and the difficulty we have in believing our correct intrusion into all dimensions and levels simultaneously. We have a deep rooted belief in the physical reality, all the structures and limitations which inhibits us from exploring freely, moving freely from one frame to the next. Although that is sublimely possible we get stuck. The umbrella is a device, a physical device, it's a metaphor for a construct that provides shelter, air lift, connection, like a parachute. So to have a symbolic physical piece of apparatus you can develop for yourself, that will be versatile and portable and allow you the luxury of free passage. You can use it as an aid like a magic wand that everyone can create their own. It's not an essential item and in itself does nothing much but it is a construct that allows the mind to overcome the stuckness, the block, the limitation, it helps it to get over it, bypass it. Knowing you have this little tool will facilitate your out of body transvibrational jumps but knowing you wish to explore, knowing you are curious, you want to discover the reality and to probe the many dimensional facets of your total reality. This will help and the reason is in itself in your innate nature. Who wouldn't want to explore and discover? It's a natural part of your development, your expansion, your evolution. So that is reason enough and if you are sitting wondering why you are bothering to do this, what is the purpose? The purpose is in itself a natural, natural conditional, your spiritual humanity to explore, to adventure, to be curious, to know fully, why not? Allow, let, accept, be free to be who you are fully and gloriously. Conditioning and fear hold you back but there are ways round this. You can overcome your fears and your self imposed obstacles by preparing, by preparation, by what we've suggested is a magic device, a construct which understands and acknowledges and accepts that you have these blockages, these beliefs, these fears that hold you back so you need a way of getting beyond them, overcoming them. They are there, you can't just say I have no fear, I have no impediment, I have no blockages, I have no obstructions but you can prepare yourself with a magical device, a magic wand. A bit like the fairy godmother that helped Cinderella to cast off her rags and her belief in her victimhood and shine in the beautiful dresses and the splendour of a princess that was her desired state and the fairy godmother was just a useful device of her consciousness to overcome the self imposed limitations. Don't deride the limitations, you adopt them for a reason and they keep you intact in the physical frame so you can thoroughly experience and explore this one state but it's very natural, like a bird in a cage, to want to go free but the benefit of the cage is temporary and the bird maybe was injured, maybe wanted to feed up, to be protected for a while or just perhaps the keeper of the bird wanted to observe, wanted to investigate. Perhaps others are observing and scientifically assessing the qualities, the dimensions of this little bird and the bird can allow itself to be observed and held back and looked after for a while but its intrinsic nature will make it look for the open door of the cage eventually so it can go free but it may choose to keep coming back. Perhaps it recognises that it is doing its keeper a service by being in the cage, it's allowing its keeper to survey, to assess, to investigate it. Well that's just one way of looking at it. So don't despair or despise your limited self, your restricted self, it's all part of a larger picture in which you have freely given consent... God bless you'

Me... 'Thank you'

Liz got the names Robert May and Defoe

'I've got this image again like a hole in the fabric of reality through which the otherness comes through, the true nature comes through and it's like clinging to the rope of the rope bridge which has large spaces between the weave that you could fall through almost but if you recognise that actually there's nowhere to fall through, you can allow yourself to let go of the ropes and be in the otherness and it's okay when you're ready. You can hold fast again to the rope if that's what you want but you can oscillate between the two, the opening of the hole and the fabric of the bridge and this is the image I get of being a hole in the fabric through which the truth can filter through and that hole is quite large'

'I got the names Gilbert, Francis, Francesca, a fat lady a bit like Hattie Jacques but in an old fashioned dress and she's cleaning the floor, like a mixture between this fabric and this net and an ordinary floor. She is very happy and I get the feeling it's like a healing, she's tightening the meshes somehow, repairing it'

Then Liz got a click sensation in her left ear and felt she was receiving some healing as she has a problem with her ear at the moment.


Liz asked for a tune to be played and then I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...


134th Sitting 04/04/2017


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 7.35pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise...

Liz started off walking and dancing on an enormous stretch of hard sand with lots of pools of sea water reflecting the moonlight with rainbows in it. She then began to feel a spiral energy like a column of energy going up and up. It was made up of lots of people and Liz was part of it going round and round and up and up. Other people were getting off but Liz wanted to go on up and see how far she could go and came to a large plateau where she got off. It was a tropical woodland setting in moonlight and she could feel the greenness of the large forest leaves. Liz came to a clearing where she found herself surrounded by people with a character in the centre a bit like Pan playing pipes, a warm friendly place. Liz continued walking through the forest with some of the other people and came to a city. It was a city of light and Liz felt she was home, in a familiar place. Everyone had a deep connection with the environment. There was a large pool and waterfall with people swimming in it and connected with the water. Liz then found herself back on the hard sand as if she hadn't gone anywhere with a sense of elemental nature spirits around her, connected with the Earth and the healing energy from it. Liz laid down and put her head on the sand and felt the connection and the healing energy of the Earth...

I started off looking down on what looked like a huge umbrella with a round platform below it. There was light shining down onto the platform from the umbrella and I could see lots of people on the round platform. I was floating above it and everywhere else looked dark. I then noticed that one of the people was looking at me and beckoning me to come down and join them. I tried to get down but found myself stuck in the air so I visualised a thread between me and the platform and used it to pull myself down to them. Then the umbrella moved up a little spreading the light and I saw that surrounding the platform were thousands of seats as if we were on a round stage performing a play with an audience around us but all the seats were empty. One of the people then asked me to run as fast as I could which seemed a bit odd to me as it was only a small stage but I did as asked and found I could run as far as I wanted and never reached the edge of the stage. They told me I was creating my own reality. I could be on top of a mountain or in a forest or a dessert or swimming in the sea. I tried all these things and found I could be wherever I wanted, there were no limits, space didn't seem to exist on this stage. I asked why there were empty seats around us and they said that they were actually full of people but I wasn't able to see them. They went on to explain that these people on the seats were actually us, a part of us, observing us as characters on a stage acting out a play and it was important that we act out this play as best we can, to be kind and help others, live a good life and make to most of every opportunity. This was beneficial to all life and all existence...

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

I had felt a strong presence to my right just after the Rainbow Bridge Exercise and I still felt there was something there for a few minutes.
I saw blobs coming and going in front of me.
I got an image of babies swimming underwater.

Liz remained silent while the music was playing then began to speak a few minutes after it finished...

'I sense this long slithering snake like energy and it encompasses both the good and the bad in the archetype of the snake, the wisdom and the subtle energy, the energy that connects with our source like the umbilical cord but there's also the negative, the venomous, the fear, so it contains in the one, the double helix, two strands, good and evil, good and bad, negative and positive energies that bind us, connect us with Heaven and Earth. We hear of the dark gross energy and the brightness of Heaven and the two are intertwined in the serpent energy, a spiral of life and death. There is a sense of the purpose of our being in the Earth plane is to realise the complementary energies of these two strands, the dark and the light, negative and positive, good and bad, and to bring them together to experience the contrast and to unify them into the one experience like the chequer board, days and nights. Experience on all levels in our emotional life from the love to the hate, both sides of one coin. Joy to the abject misery, both sides of one coin. The weakness and strength, both sides of one coin and in experiencing these extremes we have to learn the middle way, the unification pathway to balance and to harmonise, to understand those forces that predominate in the Earth, one man's horses that predominate in the sun. We're travellers on a pathway and when we come home we all tell our tale and the tales will be bound in a book and the book will be called the book of life'

'I have the name Tulula who says all stories are of equal merit'

'I've got David wanting to say hello'

Me... 'Does he have a message at all?'

'Just saying something funny to the effect of a big hairy spider's leg... I've got a sense of a circus clown'

(I knew a David who was a bit of a clown in life and that day I had come across a big black spider while clearing out my garage which made me jump and David would have found that very funny)

'Testimony or testimonial... creed or credence'

'Got the name Edgar'

'Had a sense of a great stream of happy friendly people, happy to be here, so I'd just like to say thank you to them all'

'Got the name Robin, connected with Sybil'

Liz asked me to play a tune while she came back.


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