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...

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...
