221st Sitting 29/10/2020

 

We had another Zoom meeting from our homes.

Liz was wired up to the Mind Mirror EEG.

At 2pm Liz did an opening prayer then started to tune in.

This is what came through plus my notes that I did afterwards...

‘I feel I’ve got your dad here; he’s got a lawn mower. He’s dressed up as Father Christmas, prancing around with a white beard, larger than life. He’s wearing a flat cap, a tweed jacket’

I don’t recall dad dressing up as Father Christmas or wearing a flat cap or tweed jacket. But it does remind me of the band ‘Spike Jones and his City Slickers’ which was a favourite of my dad’s and he got me interested in them too.

‘He’s counting out something, dominos, adding things up, adding numbers together, doing accounts. He’s saying not to worry it’ll all add up, he’s bushing them aside saying got that one over’

I’ve recently been going through a pile of his accounts that he did when he was self-employed. I’ve been removing all the addresses before throwing them away but I kept a couple of books listing all the magic shows he had done.

‘He’s going on to a chess game, showing me a king, saying the quietest member is the most important one, he doesn't actually do much, make many moves, keeps still a lot of the time but is the most important one for him to endure. All the others move around a lot. He’s central, almost a passive figure but his being there is essential to the whole game and if he’s over looked, if he’s struck out, the game finishes quickly. It’s important for the other pieces to support him. It's the black and white game. He’s talking about polarising forces, connected with the time we’re living in, with the Covid. There’s a lot of opposing forces, which is why it's important, and why he wanted us to come together, to support those very important but passive players, that the spiritual friends are around them. We need to support each other because their ability to endure through this period is a prime importance, so the game won’t be lost, the game of the spiritual beings’ 

Interesting that he uses chess as a metaphor for this message as he loved playing chess and taught my brother and I to play it when we were young. 

‘He’s putting a crown on his own head, he really does like galivanting around in different disguises, Tweedledum and Tweedledee’

Sounds like Spike Jones again.

‘He’s mentioning Corinthians...  I think he’s brought that in because he knows several people recently have tried to tell me that dealing with spirits is wrong because it says so in the bible but there’s something in Corinthians which says it’s okay discerning spirits, especially when you recognise them... He’s put the image of a daisy just above my head which makes me think that Travis is around. I think he must be communicating with Travis somehow, or Travis is helping him, it’s like he’s holding a wheelbarrow and Travis has been helping him weeding the garden, cultivating the garden, getting things organised in his spirit garden’

The bit about Corinthians sounds more like something Travis would say, not my dad.

‘Betty or Betsy. He’s dragging a dog by the collar, a studded collar, he’s wanting him to come forward to show you but I’m not sure he was that fond of dogs, not so much affection on his part for dogs. A whitish dog, smooth, a studded red collar, sat on a cushion in a basket’

Don’t recognise the names or the dog but it’s true he wasn’t that fond of dogs.

‘Pigeons, birds, he preferred birds’

Yes, he liked birds. There were nesting seagulls each year on the chimney of the house at the bottom of his garden and he loved seeing the babies coming out the nest walking up and down the roof. He spent his last few days in a bed in the back room where he could see them as it was the time of year the babies were venturing out the nest.

‘He’s bringing through a lady, quite small in the background. Might be your mother. Hair quite short, close to head, straight. Quite slim, tiny, looks like your gran. She’s frying chips. I’m asking her to come closer but getting an image of banana skins, slippery, a bit difficult. He’s holding her hand and she’s wearing a thimble on her finger, she wants to darn something, like socks or holes in a pullover. Getting a sense of silver with her, a silvery energy around her. Your dad feels denser, she feels lighter’

Mum wasn’t slim or tiny and I wouldn’t say her hair was short or straight but the rest sounds like her.

‘A sense of flowers with her, she’s wearing something flowery like a dress. She’s giving me a sense of a silver bracelet; Sarah has it and she’s very pleased about that. She loves all the flowers that are around you’

Yes, mum loved flowers and we certainly do have lots of flowers around us both in the house and in the garden. We have mum’s charm bracelet; it’s not made of silver but is a silver metal. We keep it on top of a cabinet and a while ago noticed it had gone. Sarah has been looking for it and found it in a box recently.

‘I’m getting a word terrine, a dish of some sort... jellied eels, things in a jelly... a witch's hat, she was a witch to your dad’s wizard act on stage, although she wasn’t there, she was in a sense the witch part of it but she never showed that part of herself. She’s showing images of you growing up, Noddy, cars, sand castles... Camber Sands'

We used to have holidays at Pontins when I was young and there is a Pontins at Camber Sands.

‘Getting a sense of a van with you dad doing plumbing type jobs which coincides with a holiday’

Yes, dad had a van for work but not sure how it coincides with a holiday.

‘Sadie...’

Don't recognise this name.

‘Wallflowers’

Sarah has been buying wallflowers recently.

‘Your mum gave me a message for you of sweeping everything clean. It’s something she had to do but it’s from moment to moment. Not talking about domestic things but about the mind, she’s developing a clarity, it’s so nice to be clear. It's not the physical clutter around you it’s the mental clutter, the worries, fears, concerns, that go round and round in your head and it’s just so nice to be free of all that, like it’s been washed through. Your dad is still arranging and planning things, he’s very committed to working still, but he’s also having fun. He's patting her hand, they had something that had to be reconciled and are working on it. They are recognising each other in spirit and want me to know that who you really are shines through, where there’s love that is what you fall in love with but other things get in the way, all the rubbish that fills your life but the spark that brings you together is the recognition of the real person. I think that’s what she meant by the putting on of the witches’ hat, she was an enchantress and he was an enchanter, I think she was his muse deep down’

Mum was very much a worrier and would be pleased to be free of that.

‘I have the feeling Travis is there in the background facilitating this, pleased to be able to do this and knows it’s important for you. He’s doing the orchestra thing again, creating a symphony for us, this is just the overture, he’s working on it, there’s more to this than you could ever believe, more possibilities’

‘I asked Travis if he can give me a clue, something that Daisy is doing at the moment, something we can check... I just got stripy trousers, vertical stripes, white and navy blue, a bit like clown’s trousers, baggy trousers... thank you, we can ask Daisy... He’s giving me a tankard, drinking beer with friends... He’s showing himself sitting in an office at a desk with a telephone saying something about a garden, a gardener, a pond with a duck. Seeing a long pipeline, he’s talking about flow, I need to get more flow’

Update... Daisy told us her mama and brother had bother passed this month. Drinking beer could be Travis celebrating with her brother and her mama was a keen gardener but she was clueless about the stripy trousers and thinks it could be a clue for the future.

‘Florid or Florence, connected with healing, Florence Nightingale... it’s like a flow of healing, a fountain of healing we can tap into and they can pour through us. The more we attune the more they can bring this through. He’s showing that the connections we have are going to enable us much more to be effective with healing in so many ways and it’s the light that’s like water. That's the importance of keeping the daily connection, the more we do that the easier it is to get the flow through. When we first start the pipe isn’t opened, the pressure hasn’t built up but as we relax more it becomes more flexible and can allow more water through, more light through. They have to help with controlling the energy because you can’t put too much through, you can actually burst if there are blockages, cause a rupture which is why you have to ease it through, adjust the flow and this is from the spirit side of the work. Don't expect big flows, don’t expect the miracles of Jesus straight away. We have to work on a little each day and that flow becomes easier and easier, we’re able to take more pressure, but miracles can still happen... this is going to be like the crescendo of his symphony, he’s seeing what’s possible. It's more than he imagined, his connection with The Diamond now has opened the floodgates for him. He knows that we know, that's why he wants to help us because he realised that we got it and he can see the value and because Daisy is involved in healing. He knows the truth of it and wants to be part of it, he’s walking the path, the path least trodden. It's a crazy path like crazy paving, he says that’s okay, you’ve got to be a bit crazy to do this stuff because it defies our reason, our human logic, you’ve got to be loony. Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle... He’s putting doves all around us’

Liz thanked those who had worked with us then it was my turn and after about a minute the communication began...

‘Take your time, do not rush, do not try to bring all that is there through for you as a singular instrument can only work with one frequency, one channel. There are many wires connecting you to spirit. Each wire is treated individually. Use your mind to focus on one wire, one input and rely on the others to build on that one input. You are tuned into many things at one time. It is your job to separate, it is your job to see through all of the inputs, find the appropriate input, that what will cause the others to build. Eventually you will be a part of all of those wires, all of those inputs, they will be connected to you and you will be reaching out to each individual, receiving messages, receiving words, interpreting those words, interpreting those messages. It is a wonderful opportunity to give to others, to bring through messages for others, a form of healing, a form of comfort, a form of reassurance. Each communication brings with it a voice, a hidden voice. You are discovering that voice, you are allowing that voice to be heard. See yourself as a conductor, each instrument in your orchestra can be brought through singularly or you can light up each instrument and beautiful music will be played. Each instrument is waiting for you to recognise it and when you do allow it to play do not let your own thoughts interfere with the music, allow the music to play through you and as it plays it will build in power and a new tune will be created in the minds of those who hear it, spreading the message that there is more, there is a larger reality, a place where memories can be shared and new thoughts can be created. Where everything is evolving, everything is drawing closer to perfect loving harmonious conditions. You play your part and we will react, we will become a part of you as you have become a part of us’

‘There is a greater message to be shared, you are playing your part in allowing that message to come through step by step in your own way. You are opening up the lifelines to a greater message... thank you’

Before the communication started Liz saw an old lady with grey hair on the computer screen next to me then she disappeared. She felt to Liz like a teacher or someone who had been connected with a circle. She felt she was there as an instructress, had a lovely feeling and reminded Liz of someone she’s always known. 

220th Sitting 22/10/2020

 

We had another Zoom meeting from our homes.

Liz was wired up to the Mind Mirror EEG.

At 2pm Liz did an opening prayer then started to tune in.

This is what came through plus my notes that I did afterwards...

‘Young man or teenage boy, mob of wiry, sandy hair, bushy, more on the top of his head, blue eyes, freckles, tall, a friend of yours, Robert. A connection with cheese, a grocery store. He did a paper round with a bicycle. Long tapering fingers. Might have been in the choir with you, an instrument, plucking strings, harp or guitar. See him in a garden surrounded by flower pots, nothing much growing in the pots. He knows you quite well, been around a long time. A dog with him like a golden retriever. He wore a brace on his teeth. He had a church connection with you. Mumps, glandular, glandular fever, neck swollen. He was taking driving lessons. Christine. An ornamental mirror. Candles, tall church candles. Memory of somebody pulling a horrible face’

I can’t remember this boy from the description or the name. I don’t know who Christine is. I did work in a grocery store and I did do a paper round on a bike but can’t think of a connection with this boy. Liz already knows I was in the choir and the memory of somebody pulling a horrible face. I will see if my brother can remember anything about the boy.

Update... My brother didn't recognise this boy either but he did confirm some of the evidence for our relatives that has been coming through each week.

‘A lady, I think it’s your mother, quite slim, whitish hair, looks a little bit like your grandmother. She knows this boy, he used to deliver the newspapers. Someone’s throwing bread crumbs to the birds in the courtyard, garden. Your mum pegging up clothes on the washing line’

This all describes my grandmother but not my mum.

‘Valerie. Black cat, someone’s giving it a saucer of milk’

Valerie is the name of a friend’s mother who passed away recently. She had cats years ago but I can’t remember the colours.

‘Something to do with mending fences. Looking over a lot of gardens, to do with when you were very young, all boys are one boy, the boy that pulled a face, the nasty boys, this boy is showing his angelic side, wanting to mend fences for you, remind you of the good friends. Boys play pranks but it’s not malevolent. Your mum was aware you were troubled by things like that and she’s smoothing it like butter on bread, smoothing it out. Life isn’t always a rose garden, there’s ups and downs, you have to spread it evenly, it all spreads out in the end. Your mum is being very even tempered, very fair person, she liked to keep things harmonious, keep a smooth surface but she overlooked the ripples and turmoil underneath because it was painful to look at. She didn’t always want to recognise the troubles too much, preferred to see the smooth surface. She's stirring a cake mixture, she liked to do things like that but she’s wanting to apologise in some way that she didn’t always take your fears and concerns to seriously, she would quickly deal with them and shrug them aside. She realised you were more sensitive. She was more concerned with keeping the house nice, making a nice home, looking after you but the problems, the emotional ups and down she gave a short shrift to some of that because it wasn’t important to her from an adult point of view. She just saw the nice side in children, she didn’t want to see the difficult sides. She didn’t read psychology books, that wasn’t her thing, she didn’t know how to read people's emotions. It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to but she didn’t have the vocabulary and the skills to deal with the more unpleasant, difficult things. So as long as everything was running smoothly the world was fine, didn’t want to look too much at the dark side. Goldilocks and the three bears, she felt a bit like Goldilocks, trying to find something that fitted her just perfectly but when people got angry, she got scared and ran away, she didn’t want to face the big problems’ 

This describes mum’s character, especially the last bit as I remember when she had arguments with my dad she would often run out of the house and go for a very long walk then return when things had calmed down.

‘After she died, she got a lot of help and healing. See her with nuns, spirits that are helping her, like a convalescent home. She was surrounded by such a lot of love and care and it really helped her. Her dying was not easy for her, she had a lot of fear as she didn’t like to face things that were unpleasant. She’s saying ignorance was a blessing sometimes. She still feels like a little girl leaning, she’s surrounded by children’s books, Noddy and Big Ears, ABC, an awful lot to learn but it’s wonderful. It feels to her like she’s in a kindergarten again and it’s wonderful. She's had contact with your dad but not a lot at the moment. She's reaching out her hand but he hasn’t quite located or linked with her yet. She's still being helped. Not quite ready yet. She has apples in her hand and it’s like Adam and Eve, the apple is temptation. She wants to meet him with all of love when the time is right. She feels much lighter than him, he was a more complex character. She reminds me of Vera Lynn’

This makes sense to me.

‘A large man, looks a bit like Brian Blessed, a giant of a man, fee fi fo fum. Now he’s appearing normal, not like Brian Blessed, got a bald head and round face. Reminds me of Dan who used to sit with us. He’s round like a balloon, a bit of an actor, saying we’re all here, all round you. Reminding me of somebody I knew at school who took part in the play Noah’s Ark. See all these people on the ark saying we’re with you, we’re on a journey all together. We're on the dry land, they’re on the sea of spirit. We have to set up this new world, this is the importance of it getting the message through. It's like a new start, a new age of transition, a lot of disasters. They are emphasising the importance of holding firm, it’s like we’re on this little island but we’re safe. Although there’s going to be storms and things, we have to stick to it, to cultivate what we’ve been given, we’ve got this terra firma and we must tend it. It's no good getting lazy, no good just waiting for things to develop. Plants need watering, they need tending, propagating, you have to take cuttings otherwise they’ll just die out. You've got to work at it, to maintain this opportunity, this island, this dry land, this terra firma, this foundation. You've got a foundation but you have to build on it so it will spring up green everywhere, new shoots, new growth. Fruits that people can gather, can eat. They are throwing us lifelines, sending us telegraphic wires, connecting with us, coming as close as they can. We have to stabilize the wires, make our connection to our telegraph poles. Don't let the wires break, keep the transmission lines running clear. They'll give us instructions, give us what we need to make those plants grow, to establish heaven on earth’

This very much sums up some thoughts I’ve been having recently about mediumship development.

‘Donald Duck, Walt Disney films, Peregrin, that’s also a boy's name, albatross’

Not sure what this is about.

‘Your mum’s waving at a wicket gate, she’s in her safe space, she’s waving a white flag saying all of love, wanted to say happy birthday. Jar of pickled onions. Sailor, sailor Sam, sail away home, swing low sweet chariot’

‘Travis. He’s saying hello old mate. It's like he’s opening a briefcase, a music case. If music be the food of love play on. He’s got a music stand, pretending to be a choir master, think he wants to orchestrate us. He's a conductor, he wants to orchestrate this work for us. Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do... He’s showing me a school tie, red and black, old school tie, he’s trying to tell me we’re in school, he’s going to be a schoolmaster, says it’s going to be fun, marmite, some people love it some people hate it, but discipline is important, he can’t emphasise this enough. Seeing a blackbird down by his feet with a yellow beak, singing such a beautiful song. Take it easy and enjoy every day but for this work the discipline is important, he can’t underestimate that. He's getting out a tape measure, he wants to be a tailor, cuts the suits to the right size. If you want to attune to spirit you’ve got to get your suit right, fitted, you’ve got to fit. I think they’re planning some magic. It's not all sweat and tears, it’s fun. Image of a merry-go-round with horses. You’ve just got to experience, when you haven’t got it quite right you get those dizzy effects, that’s the importance of the discipline of tailoring, of cutting your cloth carefully, measuring things quite right so that you know what suits you, it’s got to suit the person, be the right fit. It's not one suit fits all, that’s the old idea in mediumship, one suit fits all, you have to do this, then this, then this... no, no, no measure carefully, each person is different, different requirements, different measurements. Spirit has to work with each person individually, we have to make our own adjustments, no good taking an off the shelf approach. You can take an off the shelf but you’d have to mould it carefully, you’d have to cut and trim, yes people do that. He's giving me a piece of holly and Christmas cake, saying Christmas is coming up... wonderful, thank you very much, makes me feel like crying as I can really feel you’re there. You can be a silly old schoolmaster if you want, old school tie and all that but we know that you’re our friend and that you are working with us and that is brilliant, thank you so much and thank you all our friends in spirit’

Travis is one of the original members of the Mercury Circle and has also sat with Liz and me in the Mercury Light Circle. He passed away about two years ago and recently connected with Liz again via mobile phone. Here’s an excerpt from Liz’s email about what happened and also the reply from Daisy who used to be married to Travis...

on Tuesday I was meditating and tuning into spirit, and asked for help with my mediumship. I wondered if I had a mediumship guide, and I wondered if Travis was now my mediumship guide, as he had appeared in a dream, and directed my attention to a diamond shape in flowing water, that was filled with light and the light was so bright that I could hardly see. He had also presented himself in quite a few of my mediumship readings recently, and seemed to help with bringing spirits forward. So I asked Travis, in my meditation, to give me a sign if he was my mediumship guide now. I thought of the sign of a daisy, as Daisy is a living contact we have with Travis. But then I thought that there are daisies everywhere at this time of year, and I see them in the grass and growing by the roadside. So I dismissed that as a sign, and asked him for a diamond, as I thought diamonds are not a common feature in my life. 

Two hours later, I checked my mobile phone and to my surprise I noticed two missed calls from Daisy. I couldn't believe this. I thought that it was either a coincidence, or a sign from Travis, and maybe he had contacted Daisy. So I rang the number back, but received no reply. Instead I got a text message saying: " who is this?". So I replied, reminding Daisy who I was, and why I was ringing her. I got another text message back, saying "I don't understand what you are talking about." So I texted back: "Are you Daisy Tiley? because that is the name I have for this phone number and the name that appears with these calls." I got a message back saying: "I am not Daisy". So I sent a text apologising for troubling the person.

So I presumed that Travis must have sent these two calls as a sign that he is indeed one of my mediumship guides now. I presumed that Daisy's mobile phone has either been stolen, or disbanded, and the number recycled, and someone else has that number. Is that the case Daisy? Is this phone number no longer your current phone number?

This does seem to indicate that Travis is actively around, and doing physical mediumship!

Reply from Daisy...

Good to hear from you and interesting events happening for you.

I think Travis has joined the Diamond Group and they are helping you with your mediumship. The Diamond Group was the group where Magnus was the main communicator. Magnus is Colin Fry’s guide. The diamond light shape also made an appearance with my current healing circle in Manila last Saturday. So yes, they are all pretty much around. I do not have that particular phone number anymore as it has been locked as I have not used it for over a year now and perhaps the number has been recycled. And yes, it was a way of proof that Travis has probably used that number to synchronise with the evidence you sought. Remember, asked and it will be given, knock and it will be answered. I have been sitting online with a group from Australia and Travis, Colin and Freddie have been showing their faces via transfiguration of the medium’s face. I’m glad Travis is around and guiding you too!

Once Liz had withdrawn and felt back with it I had my turn and soon felt myself being controlled and the communication began...

‘There’s many, many ways to bring through something which coincides with valuable evidence. Each answer given represents an imbalance of personal thought. We are all with you, we are all contributing to the overall development of this circle, this experiment that you take part in, for it is an experiment and you will get results. Do not worry what the results are, you have been given the ability to record and to dissect information that is presented to you’ 

‘The creation of an event is a wonderful process. We begin with a thought, an image in the mind and as that image becomes clearer a form of recognition greets your mind. You begin to find the words that describe that event and you build up a picture for yourself. In doing this you are able to transmit that what you see, that what you understand for somebody else who will put their own meaning on your interpretation of the original thought. There are many answers to every question, you have to decide which answer is appropriate to you at this point in your development. As you grow, as you grow wiser, as you grow closer to your true self you will discard some of those answers and you will begin to create a new understanding from a new perspective’

‘Every plant begins as a seed. A seed that relies on the help of others. A seed that requires nutrition. That seed has its own mind but it needs the help of others to provide. You are all looking for that help, and that help is there, you merely have to unlock your own way of thinking to receive that help, allow that help to bring you more into focus with your true self’

‘You can feel the warmth of your spiritual friends, you can see them but you can’t touch them, not in the physical way that you understand but the physical world is a small part of your life. Reach beyond the physical and you will indeed touch those who move close to you for they are your friends, they are connected to you with love, with understanding, for they know how you feel. You are never alone when you look beyond your physical world and you begin to understand the connections to all that is life. You put your own words, your own understanding to what you experience, you create your own picture in your mind but behind that picture is the strength of love, the strength of understanding all things, all of life. We are here to help you all and you will receive that help even if you do not perceive that help for that help is yours... thank you’

I felt back with it after a few seconds.

Liz did a closing prayer, thanked our friends and sent out healing to the world...

219th Sitting 15/10/2020

Liz has been doing a few Zoom clairvoyant readings with friends recently and was inspired to try one with me as we can’t meet at the moment.

We sat on Thursday afternoon, Liz was at her house and me at mine.

Liz had wired herself up to the Mind Mirror EEG.

Liz did an opening prayer then gave me a reading.

This is what came through plus my notes that I did afterwards...

‘Green fingers, gardening. Elderly man, spectacles. Not your dad. Round face, small, thin dark hair smoothed back. Loved gardening. Sweet man. Wore waistcoat when working. 1950s.Grandfather’

Yes, this is a good description of my grandfather, he was very much into gardening, he was elderly when I knew him, wore spectacles for reading, I remember he used to let me try them on. He had a round face and was quite short, his hair was grey when I knew him but dark and smoothed back in the 50s. He was a sweet kind man, was always helping others. I don’t know what he wore at work but he drove lorries.

‘Greenhouse, garden fork, robin. Liked sherry. Office job. Gardening wasn’t his work. Like reading newspaper. Scrambled egg on toast, beans, simple food, simple lifestyle’

Yes he had a greenhouse, there was sherry in the house, may have had an office job but I only know about the lorry driving. Gardening wasn’t his work but he did work as head gardener at a school in his retirement. He did read the newspaper and didn’t have much money so ate simple food and had a simple lifestyle.

‘Lady with him. Whitish grey hair, a bit bigger than him, younger, wraparound flowery apron, did a lot of dusting, polishing, a real house keeper. Dog, white dog and basket. Mop, mopping. Spring cleaning. Grandparents on mother’s side’

His wife had whitish grey hair, may have been slightly taller than him, younger and yes did a lot of housework. They didn’t have a dog. And yes, they were my grandparents on mother’s side. 

‘Black lace up shoes, old fashioned, plain, well worn. Wore them for work not in the garden. He wore a tie at work. He drove a car, early Ford car, black, number plate JR..... Tin cans behind it like for a wedding’

Not sure about the shoes and tie, he did drive an early Ford Popular but not black and not sure about the tin cans.

‘Lady was sweet, drinking sweet tea, syrup. She had a passion for keeping things clean and tidy, knives and forks, old but all in their right place’

Yes, she was a sweet lady and was always cleaning and would have had old knives and forks and looked after them as money was tight.

‘They are showing me a pedal car... maybe that was the time they knew you when you were a little boy and you were when they died. Noddy and Big Ears... maybe a reference to you and your brother’

Yes I had a pedal car and Noddy books, I was a teenager when they died.

‘A connection of grandad and the church, he was religious or had a spiritual side. He wants to write something down. An important memory connected with the church and writing things down’

I recently found some old letters written by grandad’s brother to him from Canada in 1929 and the letterhead is ‘Young Men’s Christian Association’  

‘Candles... he’s saying don’t blow the candles out, they are alight and someone’s blowing them out, feel like crying’

Not sure about that.

‘Grandmother isn’t interested in this, she doesn’t want to know but he’s very sensitive, sensitive to me and my needs, offering me an aniseed ball. He was more nurturing that grandma, she was more concerned with keeping the place beautiful and polished. He enjoyed the children’

Yes, this is true.

‘He's very spiritual and reminds me of a Sunday school teacher, old fashioned but a sweet man. He didn’t have much insight into the afterlife or spirit world but he had a big heart, has a lot of love for you’

Yes, he had a big heart.

‘He's very pleased you've got Sarah and that she’s doing so much gardening, that’s a good balance for you’

This makes sense.

‘Getting the name Sheila. Something wrapped in brown paper, parcels, laundry’

Not sure about the brown paper but Sheila is my mum.

‘Horses, horse hooves over turf. A horse like a cart horse, big hooves, brownish and white, wants to rub its nose against you, wants sugar, its grinning. Saying something about marmalade, a very thankful horse, a bit shaggy, it’s lovely, a beefy horse, used to have saddles on it but not anymore, enjoying not having saddles and being able to gallop around, freedom, dandy lions around it, bags of oats’

This describes the sort of horses we’ve recently seen on our walks.

‘Image of Tinkerbell, fairy in Peter Pan, hovering over the horse, tapping it with her wand. Peter... Peter and Paul. Blackbirds. School caps and something that feels like charcoal, use for drawing, thick pieces’

This is interesting as I went to St Peter and St Paul’s school in Bexhill.

‘A lady in the background, her name begins with V, Vera or Vivian, somebody younger, with a piano, wearing a yellowish summer dress, 50s hairdo, charming lady, theory books, piano teacher, school teacher. Organised concerts, stage, she accompanied people, a connection via your father’

I can’t think who this could be but it’s interesting that Liz thought it may be my mum as it confirms she didn’t know her name was Sheila.

‘Roger’

Can’t place Roger either.

‘Dad is here but not coming forward, he’s pumping up something, a tyre, working quite hard on it’

This could be referring to pumping up balloons which dad did a lot for his magic shows.

‘Blue dungarees, boiler suite, daisies. Sun, moon and stars, sky diving. Dad a connection with linoleum, black and white squares’

Dad spent a lot of time kneeling down on linoleum repairing washing machines, he often said that was why he lost the use of his knees.

‘Pin cushion, sewing’

‘With dad I’m feeling a contrast between the plain floor and work with this more ethereal quality, more grandiose visionary quality... holding that tension between the imagination and the down to earth practical, subtle balance, easy for pins to prick that more aerial visionary’

‘He’s giving me milk bottles, an image of wanting to nourish you, he wants to help you, what you are doing, he’s seen the value of it and knows how easy it is to prick that spiritual impulse, that visionary impulse that you have, he expressed it on stage but you have it deep inside you. The fear of exposing it to the wrong people, you can feel the pin cushion, all these pins that will take the air out of that wonderful feeling of lightness and inspiration. He's showing me these milk bottles because he really wants to help you with that now. Maybe he feels that he didn’t always support that. He was not against it, he wouldn’t put you down but the wrong comment could easily deflate your enthusiasm. He doesn’t want to do that now and he really wants you to know that he’s with you every step of the way now, he really gets it. I really feel he’s engineered this meeting but he’s a bit shy of presenting himself to you. I think he will. I think there’s something there, that he feels he let you down a little bit but I don’t know what it is and that’s why he’s shy. He keeps saying walk, walk, walk. Like he wants to walk off, to keep walking, there’s something he needs to sort out, he’s wringing his hands, there’s something he’s finding difficult to say, I get the image of treacle, it’s sticky he’s saying, it’s made his heart feel a bit sticky, but there’s such a lot of love for you there and I think that’s why your grandad came forward because he was more openly warm and more able to express. Dad is sorting it out and wants you to know he’s with you with this mediumship stuff and wanted us to get together again, you’re not going to be a great pianist but you’re going to be a great medium and he wants to help you to make it, he’s working on it...’

This sums up dad’s character very well.

We had a chat about what had come through and then I tried to get some clairvoyance for Liz.

I got the words attic and Brian but then felt as if I was being controlled for trance.

Liz suggested I go with it and do whatever comes...

‘There’s no difference, all communication is from the one source. As it unfolds it will direct the instrument to bring that communication through in a way that is suited to them. We are able to bring forward evidential aspects in our communication but we have set up an arrangement, we have developed an arrangement that allows spiritual advice and guidance to be transmitted. At the same time there are always those that you understand to be in the spirit world; their memories, their characters, their stories are saved, are all... they all make up what you understand as the spirit world and from that world their stories can be told. Their stories have evolved since their passing and just like you they can remember, and they can make decisions, they can make choices, they are alive, they are a part of life. The physical world holds you still, it can take away your freedom but you too can blossom, your memories make you what you are but beneath that, within that is the power to grow, to become more, to become a part of an evolving consciousness which is life’

‘David, David is bringing his love. The bells are ringing, sit back and enjoy the music. Watch each page develop into a new story. Like a piece of music, it begins with a note and to that note you add more until a tune is sung, is played, is lived. A composition starts with a word and a tune begins with a note. You are developing your abilities and you are writing yourself a story, adding characters as they come to you and as each character shines, they also fade away for they are making their own stories and will live out those stories’

Liz found what came through interesting and she has a deep connection with a David.

We closed the session, thanked our friends and sent out healing to the world. 

We decided to make this a regular thing.
