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...

200th Sitting 23/07/2019


We had the room setup as usual and Liz was wired up to the Mind Mirror EEG.

I did the opening prayer at 7.55pm, turned out the light and put the music on...

We started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise then continued on into the session.

After about 30 minutes Liz began to speak...

‘I have somebody here... India Rubber Company... tall gentleman, tanned, in a grey suit... experiencing some pain in the bottom of the lungs, small intestine area, pancreas he’s saying... sugar, yes, his complexion is very yellow, he died of pancreatic cancer... he’s showing me spiders, webs, webs of confusion... just directing me to the spider, how they trap their prey and package it in those gossamer threads, spin round and round to entrap and that is part of the confusion. And so his miasma... was prevented from seeing the truth by these webs of lies, of confusion and obfuscation surrounding a mental world so that people become paralysed, unable to act, unable to even bring forth their own opinions, their thoughts. They've been parcelled and packaged, so completely caught in this web of untruths and confusion. This is how the Machiavellian world of commerce, of politics, of so much that dominates and rules the world at the moment, how it ensnares and paralyses the ordinary person from acting, from developing his true character, his true ability to make decisions, to act in the world, cushioned and cocooned in a web of lies that’s spun around him, half-truths, confusion’ 

‘So, what do we do to break this spell? To break out of the trap? To free ourselves? We see it, we feel it, we become aware of it. We feel the stickiness around us, we call out, we ask for help. Wriggling and panicking while trapped in this web only makes the spiders spin more lies around us, entrap us further. The art is to stay very still and within this cocoon of lies, this cocoon in which we’ve become trapped is to use the power of the mind and imagination to dissolve it, to free ourselves, to become aware and using the power of the mind and imagination to develop that dark inner space, that central core within the coffin in which we live, the blackness within. To recognise there the dazzling light, in this blackness is light and to hold on to that light which has the power, to dissolve, to penetrate, to cut through the strings and the ties that bind us, to cut through the sticky web of deceit, of lies, of half-truths, of confusion. This penetrating light in the darkness deep inside us has the wisdom and the power, the authenticity to dissolve the sticky web around us and set us free to fly again, to extricate ourselves and set a new course, a new path, an alternate reality that is truer to the light within us and is able to see and perceive the degradation in which we have been forced to live lives of confusion, deceit and half-truths'

‘Imoralove is the name...’

‘I lived a very ivory tower life, concerned with the manufacturing world, the chimneys, the industrial concern until I found my liberation in the foothills of India, the Himalayas and extricated myself from the miasma and misinformation and the misdeeds that surrounded me and entrapped me. I found a better way by going within the dark space deep inside. That existential core of being. The darkness filled with light and that light is the strength to deliver, the strength of our salvation, of our deliverance’

‘Yes, I had tea with Nero, at the sweet excesses of my life, poisoned with and led to my relatively early death. I was filled with the deep and bitter distress of the struggle to disengage from the sticky trap, of the life in which I found myself for the most part but deliverance was mine from the foothills of the Himalayas and I would recommend to each and every one to find a spiritual path, a teacher or a method to help you probe in the deep inner darkness in which is light, the deep depths of your consciousness in which other tools lead a better life. Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find’

‘No one need spend their life in a state of confinement and suffering and spiritual torment. There is a key to the locked door, there is a path to freedom. Seek and you will find. Ask and you will receive. It shall be given to you. Look within. Trust that he who laid the trap has the spring that will release you if you ask. Only know that you yourself are the creators of the trap in which you find yourself and you yourself have the key and the tool that will release you... thank you for listening’

‘I had a feeling someone called Michael Drury was here’

Me... ‘Is that somebody you know?’

‘Yes, in childhood’

‘I have the image of a man with a gun to his head... I just feel that the words that were spoken before, just for many people the life becomes so problematic and confused in a way that it feels impossible to resolve or extricate yourself from the material world and the problems, that an illness, death in a sense is the only way out. But I think the previous speaker, and I think Michael is concurring with this, was pointing to how there is a way out, the spiritual path helps to free you from this if you can trust sufficiently to engage with it, to look inside, to trust that there is a solution, a way to extricate yourself from the impossible situation that you find yourself in’

‘I’m being shown this image, lifting off the roof of the world like a scab, releasing all the puss, all the putrefaction, washing it out with this pure water and allowing the ultraviolet light of the sun to then heal the wound so it becomes good flesh again, becomes whole, becomes healthy. But it’s opening up and allowing the light in, a metaphor for healing, and to help with the wound, cleansing it, all these worms, snakes, healing snakes that cleanse, that digest all the indigestible, all the toxins, these are often things that are seen as dangerous or things that we despise but they are the tools to help us to cleanse and purify. Many of the tools that can help us to dissolve and get rid of the sticky mess that entraps us, the toxic environment in which we find ourselves, the poisons, many of those tools like the snakes and the maggots that you apply to wounds to heal them, to cleanse them, they are tools that we regard as dangerous, to be avoided, the psychological discipline, the spiritual discipline, spiritual tools that have been considered dangerous or unnatural, looking into those dark areas, using these particular exercises or tools, but like the snakes and the maggots and earth worms these are tools of deliverance, tools that will digest and dissolve those sticky threads, those toxic ties and binds and problems and dilemmas, those doubts and confusions, those fears and disgusts and shames, all the baggage of a lifetime, conditioned responses. But these tools that might seem disgusting are in fact allies, helpers, tools of deliverance’

The music CD ended.

‘Feels like there’s a lot of people here, just like to thank them’

Liz felt back with it.

We recalled our Rainbow Bridge Exercises...

Liz found herself by a brown river, there were reflections of the sky and trees and rainbows in it. Liz decided to swim across and on the other side was a lady dressed in white who embraced her, a wonderful warm welcoming embrace. She took Liz to a pool of clear water which had the same reflections in it and there were the letter Ms in it for Munro or Mum and Liz became aware and felt the lady was her Mum which had an incredible emotional response. Liz had tears in her eyes as she felt the unconditional love of her mother and everything that goes with that and also the inter-generational problems that in many ways mothers haven’t always been allowed to express that love in the proper way and how that may lead to karmic stress...

I started off seeing a lot of white noise, speckles on an old TV set. I saw little bits of images come and go then it cleared to an image of a beautiful garden. I decided to walk into the TV set and into the garden where I felt the soft grass on my bare feet. I stood there enjoying all the colours and the sounds of the birds. The image kept blinking out and becoming white noise again then it changed to an image of a beach. I was standing on wet sand and then sat on a groyne with my feet in the sea as it ran up and down the beach. Next I was in a forest and I climbed a tree. I decided to jump to the ground as the scene changed back to the garden and I landed on the soft grass. I stood there for a while then backed out of the TV set as the white noise returned...

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

199th Sitting 05/07/2019


We had the room setup as usual with the Magnetometer on and Liz wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.

I did the opening prayer at 7.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on...

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise then continued on into the session...

Liz drifted in and out of sleep then about 70 minutes after the opening prayer, just as the music CD was finishing, Liz began to speak...

‘Got a Margret Rutherford... someone in a gym slip, looking like Ruby, the policewoman in St Trinians, I see Mills and Boon novels, romances...’

‘Get the feeling that everything today seems to be so pragmatic, the escapism, the development of the right side of the brain, the fantasy, the alternative reality, imagining, to construe the world as a fairy story with a meaning that suits you. The fantasy is taking charge of reality, engaging with it as an editor, a creator, building your castles in the air. This is very good practice for the imagination, acting out your deepest beliefs about how things should be, could be, how you would like them to be. Reality is a very fluid space, it’s what you make it. A photographer imagines that he has captured how things are but his eye has selected a scene, a part of a scene, a construct that in some way captures something within him, an idealism, an idea. We interact with the so-called real world in a creative way, we impose our own interpretations and expectations and desires, we select. When I am here in England in a country garden, I have selected this setting, this scene, I am not in a slum in Calcutta or in a sizzling sunbaked desert in Australia. There are other scenes being edited, acted out, imagined by other actors, participants, creators. If I bring the best in me into this incarnation, into this world I shall have achieved my purpose, but if I allow others to dictate, to manage my life for me I shall have frustrated my purpose and I shall leave dissatisfied. Take charge of your life, take charge of your dream, of your fantasy, allow your deepest inner desires, motivations, dreams to surface, to direct you. Model your reality according to your deepest paradigm, don't let others dictate for you. Some day you will have to give account of how you spent your time, how you engaged with this world, this opportunity. Have the courage to tread your path that is uniquely yours and no one else's, thank you’

‘Somebody is talking about a Pennyroyal and Black Tuesday... Findlay, Arthur Findlay...’ 

‘There’s a tension between the left and the right but as you observe the possibility of shutting one down, shutting down the left... I think I'm looking at something evolutionary in which can be found a predominance of one hemisphere concerning the brain but as is being implied in modelling and selecting your version of reality you can choose to operate more from the right than the left cerebral hemisphere, from the part that is more intuitive and parallel processing. So, a genetic predisposition to one particular modality is only one facet and the operator of the brain can switch, can select, can train and can develop this biological machine according to preference, to suit. The left brain, that logical part and the right brain the more intuitive part will allow and for the medium allowing is a necessity, so the medium will develop or take charge of this aspect of brain function and attempt to shut off the more logical and censoring, filtering, aspect of brain function temporarily’

‘Iris is coming through, she’s here a lot, she’s trying to organise this stage, she’s very bright’ 

‘We have so many lovely friends and loved ones in spirit with us still but that critical left part of the brain finds it very difficult to accept or understand that that physical presence we knew and loved that has become no more than ashes or bones can still be with us, can still be the same without that physicality. It's very hard for us operating so much from our logical, critical, world educated paradigm to accept this other version of reality but these wonderful friends and loved ones are with us still, all of you and so very welcome still. Strange that in life we see the development and change of form from the infant to the adolescent, to the adult, to the elderly person and sometimes the physiology is vaguely recognisable throughout those changes but sometimes it’s radically different so that the face of the child, the adolescent, the adult, the elderly person are so different that if we did not believe that this was a continuing essence behind these changing forms we might believe them to be completely different people so we forget, but that is acceptable because it is still within the framework of a body and that critical part of our mind dismisses the idea that that same entity, that same inhabiting entity can continue in yet another form but without the physical body, without the flesh and blood body, with a refined body that is beyond our current sensory, our developed sensory apparatus, our limited sensory apparatus or our censored sensory apparatus because in truth our sensory apparatus if we wished to extend and develop it can be extended and developed to perceive this yet further change, this subtle body, this non-physical body of that entity that we have observed in various stages throughout physical life and that is the task of a medium or one who selects, who desires in that way, to extend the sensory apparatus, that task is to perceive and engage with this extended form of that same individual entity. So, by entertaining the reality in which that living form invisible to normal eyes is possible the medium then allows the possibility of communicating with that form, with that entity’

‘Spencer Davis has said our life is the lie we believe in; the truth is very different’

‘I think I've got Mary... Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow... but Mary has a beautiful garden... I have Brown, Mary Brown, she’s reminding me about prayer, thank you Mary... and that prayer is the way into the right brain, to the intuitive, the activation of the intuitive side of the brain which for some may be the left rather than the right... and Mary would like me to remember the wonderful Quaker way of holding the silence and allowing that intuitive voice from the greater truth to speak out of the silence, the still small voice. But the prayer is the asking to receive that massage, to receive the wisdom, the healing and the help. The prayer is an intention to engage with the very best of our true self, whatever that is, that unknown, the unknowable, the infinite possibilities to help us to engage with that desire to align ourselves with truth. The prayer is the asking for the shedding of light on our lie, on all our errors, our false assumptions to help us to clarify, to understand. The prayer is focusing, is putting into words, putting into ideation that willingness to be whole, to be with the whole which some call God but which is our home and our own true self. How could God or the creator be separate from the creation. So, when we pray, we are asking for the activation, for the realisation, for the response to all that is deepest in us, the questions the requests, those things that are even difficult to formulate, it is the attempt. Prayer is an evolving art of engaging with spirit, with what we truly are. Prayer is the calling of the child, the small portion, to the mother/father, to the larger part, to inform, to protect, to facilitate, to allow, to support, to contain. Prayer is an act of love, is part of love because it is the recognition of the connection between the small broken off part with the whole and the desire of that small broken off part to be enfolded and contained within the whole, to be nourished and fed by the whole, as the child reaches out to the mother so the praying, supplicant, reaches out in thought to the mother/father God, to the whole, to the source, to the truth, to life. When you pray don’t censor your words, allow your deepest wishes and desires to bubble through, ask to receive what you need to grow, what you need to know, what is important, like Joan of Ark. If I'm on the right path, if my understanding is correct let me keep on this path, but if I am wrong, if I am on the wrong path, if my understanding is imperfect, please put me on the right path and amend my understanding’

‘I can feel somebody's putting a feather in my hand... I'm hoping it might be Inge... I think she has promised to help me with the writing... and my cousin Jane Foreman, I see her so clearly. All truly beautiful people and still alive and well and with us still... I say goodbye, thank you all, thank you for the opportunity’

I played a tune to help Liz feel back with it.
We had gone on a lot longer this week.

We then recalled our Rainbow Bridge Exercises...

Liz started off in a hot air balloon which was going up and she was controlling it with strings like on a blind. She kept some ballast in it so the balloon didn’t go too high and saw a line of people in tall hats, black and white with white ruffs. Liz wasn’t sure where they were from but then thought they were Quakers and she got a message of the importance of prayer and there were connections to different lives and by going up she was getting into different realities, different lifetimes...

I started off with a rainbow bridge, shiny metal with colours running through it surrounded by mist. As I walked over it, I found I too had colours running through me which was a nice relaxing feeling. Then the bridge faded away, it was dark and I saw rain coming down like sparks of light, full of colour and I just floated in this rain soaking it up...

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