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 then continued into the session...
Liz started to speak after one hour and continued for another hour and 40 minutes... It was a long session!
‘I have the name Enid Blyton... she always comes with green hedges, I don’t know if it’s a name of a person, Hedges, Hodges... Green gable, green emerald... connection with children, she wrote for children... after the war, Pied Piper... new generation of children...’
‘It’s the voice of the nightingale singing. It’s the ability to listen... the children needed a club, their own society, their own world free of adults’
‘Got the name John Rivers... feels like a Reverend someone... maybe to do with Alice in Wonderland... to do with children... unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven... I have the lion lying down with the lamb, the taming of opposites, the bringing together, reconciling is part of love... to see through the veneer of a black and white world, to understand that the opposites are part of the continuum, that the truth that underlies the good and bad, the beautiful and ugly is still one truth, that the creator created principle unites both. We are held in the hand of balance, the hand of the one who sees all without judgement, the one who contains all, and like Alice the world of appearances is like a pack of playing cards and when the edifice of contrasts of thoughts, deeds of history, of opinions, when that disintegrates, breaks up, what is left is the plain truth, the invisible truth, truth that lies behind the eyes, the eye of beholder. And out of our seeing that eye, the function of seeing unites us. The seeing in the dark, the seeing without object, just the pure consciousness. But consciousness has a voice and will sing the world into being... be the voice of consciousness’
‘Hill, the name Hill or Hiller... Sir Michael Hill... counting houses... like the granaries in the time of Joseph in Egypt where the person who is connected with the management of the resources of the realm, not the banks... the stores of things, all this waste in times of plenty, waste, storing for the lean years making sure there’s always enough so there won't be any famine, balancing the books but with a view to the future, forecasting... a grey area, what is the grey area? Grey area is the unforeseen events you can't predict, that’s where the soothsayers would be important if believed, lot of grey areas and those people’s greed, that’s where there's a need to legislate, to prevent black marketing. Responsible job seeing how a need for imagination, a need to go beyond the black and white and anticipate the grey areas because they can totally destroy your black and white. Clears measures and principles all the calculations fudged and blurred. The whole thing can be turned into a missed opportunity. So important to go beyond the books, to use imagination, intuition, to build into your careful strategy, the unimaginable, the unforeseen, the worst-case scenario. The people won't have it often’
‘The story of Joseph, he trusted his dream and acted on the unforeseen likelihood probability and prepared, had contingency methods in place. There must have been a lot of opposition. Hard work, people have short memories. Why put aside all this grain, what for, you don’t need to store stuff. The lean years came they were glad in retrospect, the naysayers realised that Joseph was right to trust in dreams, and intuition, to listen to his higher self, prompting from spirit because it also made sense if they looked at history they would have seen that there were patterns that repeat, would have learnt, would have implemented strategies to balance the books over time... feed my sheep, feed them words of truth, words of wisdom, words springing from what has been learnt, from seeing through centuries, seeing patterns, understanding the significance, meaning, interpreting truthfully of the desire for truth’
‘I feel like a steward with a task of managing the estates of the Earth, of the realm. An honest task but what I've learnt was to trust in the higher authority, a higher truth than in the text books of accounting. Go beyond tradition, use imagination to understand the nature of custodianship. Who is the real authority for whom you are working for he who holds the world and the fate of men in his hands is not a foolish man, is not an ignoramus, is not an idiot, it is one who has the overview of all, sees past, sees future, one who knows beyond the immediate seen world, one who has vision, the creator, the force behind the throng for whom all kings arise. I realised there was a power beyond kings, beyond parliament, beyond men. I see now that I was right, right to trust at times I doubted, that there is a stairway for men to climb, a stairway to the higher realms of understanding and knowledge to where he who sees all purveys the universe through his infinite telescope. Purveys the universe, it is his own self, through the telescope of our individual visions. For I see that I am on a journey to meet my maker. He sees through me and when I have climbed the stair and joined with him I shall see as I am seeing and all vision will be known. God bless you all for we are all one. We are one in the spirit, we are one in the lord and I pray that our unity will this day be restored’
‘An old hairy man, he reminds me of my headmaster, he reminds me of Mr. Withers... the need for young children to grow according to their nature, to have the freedom to develop their full spiritual potential, not just material, the physical, mental, the reins and the constraints imposed on the growing child, an actor’s fetters, creating a sense of imprisonment. Spirit needs to fly, to be free. I regret the extent to which allowed the need for regulation, examination and routine, and career to determine my overall approach to education. I feel I could have been a more forceful advocate for what I knew was important. The school of the future must be small and more pupil centred and more tailor-made for the individual, not a socialising machine, a sausage factory. I like variety, like birds and butterflies, all different shapes and sizes, different colours and voices, each one unique’
‘Got a name like Goldie Horn... wanting to shine, never enough length of rope, give her enough rope she’ll hang herself... no, no, no that’s not right... give her enough rope she’ll climb up to heaven... that’s what I say’
‘Sylvie... Naomi...’
‘Get this sensation like a sun ring going round, like watching a spot of light rotating’
‘Hadel, hadley, hah... hadler... seen, seemal... sssss... sensing... ssss sensing, sensing, sensing, sensing, sensing... stay, stay, stay... taking control, can lead, can... clearing the, clearing the... testing, testing... take time, test... for Queen and country...’
Liz was making different incoherent noises, her voice pitch sounder lower.
‘Sister, sister... ssss... sitting... terrible waste... shoestring, shoestring... can’t know more than a shoestring, silly, silly person... Hargreaves... well, well... Alice...’
Voice went very quiet and was difficult to understand on recording but sounded like...
‘Why, why are you listening... so angry with William Waldegrave...’
Then it got louder...
‘Radishes...’
Voice got quiet again...
‘Florence is kindly saying that the young lady of the...’
‘It's just a test, trying, testing...’
‘Thank you Florence, I know this was just a test, a little at a time, you’re very welcome’
Liz was coming back and I played a tune to help her to come back.
She felt a bit shaky and achy for a while and had a strange feeling across her abdomen.
She’d felt someone had been taking over towards the end making her feel giddy.
We then discussed our Rainbow Bridge exercises...
Liz found herself in a field full of sheep and there was a shepherd who looked like Jesus playing a flute. Liz was helping him with the sheep, leading them somewhere and then they turned into people, lots of children and it was a bit like the Pied Piper leading them into a large shelter under some trees. Things were taking place beyond like the four riders of the apocalypse but in the shelter they were safe and they were being lead to a Heaven on Earth. They were forming into a circle like a circle dance, Lord of the Dance... I am the Lord of the Dance said he... It felt very much like the Christ Spirit was leading and protecting this group and the feeling was of this trust in Jesus to lead his flock into his promised land, the Heaven on Earth and keep them safe in this time of turmoil...
I started off in a small rowing boat bobbing up and down on the waves of the ocean then found myself washed up on shore. I got out and walked up the beach to a promenade. There was another promenade above joined by some steps which I went up and it seemed to get lighter. Then I noticed a third promenade and steps. The steps were shining bright white and sparkled like diamonds and the promenade was all white, even the plants were white and I saw people that looked translucent like ghosts. They didn’t seem to see me and an old lady walked through me. Then I noticed that the longer I stayed there things became clearer and more coloured. The slabs in the pavement were wonderful pastel colours and the plants were vivid greens with bright coloured flowers. A man looking like a tramp walked up to me with a young boy who looked similar with worn out clothes. He talked about this promenade saying it was a place where everybody helped each other, they didn’t worry about their own possessions and he was teaching this way of living to the boy explaining that in helping each other you were also helping yourself and raising the vibration of the place...
I had then drifted off into sleep and continued to drift in and out of it throughout the session.
Liz had also drifted off at one point during the session before she started speaking.
I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...
(Liz found out after the sitting that Green Hedges was the name of a house that Enid Blyton lived in)
