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...

150th Sitting 31/10/2017


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.10pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise...

Liz started off at the seashore with the tide out and there was a hot air balloon with Rupert Bear and his friends in the basket. He invited Liz to step into it and they set off up into the air. There was no hot air going in the balloon as it was being lifted by birds. The basket was swinging to and fro like a pendulum and Liz asked Rupert why he was there? He said he was symbol of childish adventure and he was also a teacher. He said they were going to the mountains in Tibet and it felt like a great adventure. As they reached the snowy mountain peaks Rupert said they were all going to jump out which they did landing in the snow. Liz didn't feel afraid as this was all part of the adventure. She got behind Rupert in a toboggan that went racing along leading them to a cave with a wooden door. Inside there was a spiral staircase and they climbed up to an enormous platform, a room with windows all along one side like portholes facing the sunrise and sunset. The room was full of desks and red robed monks and nuns were sitting at them making illuminated books. Some were sowing them with silks and some were drawing, painting and writing. They were doing this work from sunrise to sunset and allowing inspirations to come to them. When they were finished the books would be sent around the world and seeded in various libraries. They contained secrets, secret teachings...

I saw an old man leaning over with two walking sticks slowly walking up a very steep hill on an uneven cobbled path. He was struggling so I went over to help but he said he was alright and carried on making his way up the hill. I asked him where was he going? He told me he wasn't going anywhere, he was just enjoying walking up this hill. He said he wanted to make the most of his life and do everything he could and as he spoke he changed into a tall, strong, upright American Indian who told me that he was the real person, the old man I see is just the body but he was the real motivator. He said nobody ever gets old it's just a physical illusion while we're here in this reality. He said we are all just children and have yet to grow up and it's this youthful spirit that is keeping us going, pushing us forward. It's good to keep doing things when the body gets old and not to give up, make the most of every minute of every day, try not to miss anything. He then changed back into the old man and at the same time I felt a surge of energy, said goodbye to the man and started running up the hill as fast as I could...

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

I soon started seeing bright blobs coming and going, some were spinning round in clockwise circles.
I saw a few faces and then heard a phrase that my Nan used to say.

Liz started to speak after the music CD finished...

'A gate half open...'

Me... 'Can it be opened fully?'

'I've gone through... they seem to be taking me into mum's garden'

'It's like I have two sphinxes either side of me, have the head of a cat, taking me into the pyramid. The cat people are holding me, each hand... asking where are the treasures? I feel the treasures are like golden goblets and they are doubled up in my heart'

'Iberian Peninsula... a great ship is going to take me across the waters. The flag on the ship is just a round black ball. I'm looking at the mast, it's like a telegraph pole'

'Politsei... Police with an Alsatian dog...'

'Jersey... not sure why I'm on Jersey... I've got an image of glass bottles and a caravan... crabs'

'Would you like to ask any questions?'

Me... 'Yes, how much are we helped by the spirit world while we live in the physical world and how much are our choices purely our own choices?'

'The spirit world is always with us, there's very little to separate the two, we're intermingled all the time, we are spirit and our inner spirit is constantly in communion with the spirit world and so it's like an active dialogue and our choices are also the choices of spirit because we are in dialogue when we make those choices often. Sometimes we are not aligned completely with the course we ourselves have set in communion with our larger self which is in spirit and so sometimes our choices lead us astray, lead us from the clear path that's been indicated by us and for us. It's a little bit like when we are unwell, when our health deviates from perfect functioning but we can get back into balance again, no mistake, no deviation. We can spend a lifetime turning and twisting, falling away from the true line that's been set and coming back to it again, zig-zagging but the true course is always there for us to follow, to fall back into line. So, our choices are ours but are also of spirit because there is no distinction between us and spirit and truth'

Me... 'If we deviate off our path and for some reason never get back onto our path does that cause a problem with our evolution or spiritual growth or is it something that can be rectified at a later date?'

'In the fullness of time all mistakes can be rectified but our understanding of time is very temporary so we feel we have limitation of time and all is lost when we make a mistake. That's what we feel but in truth there is all of eternity and that mistake is a very little deviation and the chance and possibility of redirecting our path, of falling back into the correct alignment is very real and ultimately in the fullness of time our deepest desire is to be what we truly are and we can never deviate from that because that is the truth. The deviations are small compared with the greatness of truth which will shine in the end, well there is no end and that is the truth, so in the evolutionary path time is irrelevant. Evolution is happening and will happen in the fullness of spirit time which is larger than physical time'

Me... 'Are all the influences we get from spirit positive and loving or is it possible that sometimes we could get a negative influence from the spirit world that would possibly set us in a wrong direction?'

'It is possible that our attunement can be with lower vibrational levels and they operate also within the spirit realm, within the non-physical realm just as those on Earth. Some are vibrating at a more basic animalistic level so in the spirit realm there are those who have not evolved very far and who have maybe entered into spirit with a lot of negative malevolence and are suffering and it is possible to tune into those forces and to be influenced or to resonate with them but this is a temporary state and can be changed, this does not have to be prolonged. With help and with one's own resources one can lift one's spirit and vibrational level into a more conducive and harmonious resonance with those who are more evolved and wiser but here again there is to some degree a choice in the sense that one can choose to be negative, to be filled with the negative qualities of greed and malevolence. One can actually desire to dwell in that darkness but that can be helped and that's where the power of prayer and healing of those around a person who feels the unwholesome influences and negativity. That person can be drawn towards a more positive and more harmonious resonance with those in spirit who are more conducive to love and harmony and positive emotions but for most people who are drawn to the spiritual vibrations of love and harmony there is a great protection in that intention to align with those forces and that is why we encourage those who are working consciously to communicate with spirit to be grounded in spiritual values and an intention towards love, harmony and healing, towards the light. That intention is a protection against the unwitting resonance with the negative forces that do exist'

Me... 'Many people in the physical world have no interest in the spirit world, they think only of physical life. Are they also still influenced by the spirit world or are they more alone and just working with themselves'

'The spirit world is always with them but they are closed to it because their attunement is completely with the physical forces. It's as if their eyes are tightly closed and their ears are stoppered but that doesn't mean that spirit is not close and waits for those moments in sleep or when the closing of the eyes and the stopping of the ears is lessened so spirit may whisper, may throw hints and inspirations in their path but yes, it is true that some in the physical remain sealed off from the conscious resonance of spirit, with their birthright, with their larger reality'

Me... 'Thank you for that, I think you've answered all the questions I can think of at the moment'

'Part of the working of spirit in the past has been through the oracles which is how we are engaged with the question and the response. It's the two-way communication using a medium as a switchboard. That's one form of mediumship in which spirit can communicate in the forms of questions and answers'

'I'm being drawn back into the pyramids with my sphinx creatures by my side and the treasure of the gold buried with me. It's in my heart but this was one of the old ways, the understanding of the power of the dead in their resurrected state, to be able to transmit the golden wisdom of the heart from that larger perspective having gone beyond the boundary, having crossed the sea, and the dead then find themselves as the oracle and the gold that was buried with them is reinstated through the words of the oracle. By honouring the dead, we are honouring the rich fruits, the rich wine of accumulated wisdom with the fruits of a good life. The fruits of a good life is the wisdom of the heart and is the true knowledge'

'I feel I have twin girls here and they seem to be dancing, prancing around. There's a connection with Jersey and this Alsatian dog. Seem to be about seven years old, a connection with crabs and sand castles. I think they're waving, want to say goodnight'

'Dorothy and Irene... I feel they are taking me very gently to meet my mother who appeared there as a young woman and I was able to hug her'

Me... 'Has your mum got a message for you at all?'

'Just the love and the longing to be reunited but also the reality of the possibility of meeting and being with those who we've loved who've died. That they're always there and that there is the possibility of meeting them, joining with them, realising the fullness of their presence in the dimension where they are although they're in spirit we can be accompanied, led, open to receive them, to perceive them, to communicate with them and that was done very gently to alleviate over emotional response but the emotion was there'

'I'm sensing my mum is in a place like in the Scottish Highlands and she's at a stage when she was much younger, in her 20s with her friends of that time'

'Dorothy and Irene are like the ladies from Findhorn which might be the relevance of the caravan and the sea. I had a connection with them as I danced with them over 50 years ago and I danced with another member of our group who is now passed into spirit but who is related to my mother so the connection is there, so, thank you. I feel that has shown me that a person can be happy in spirit but that the love they feel for those who are still left behind is still very real and that they can still miss them and want to communicate and to send back their love'

I played a tune as Liz came back.

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