225th Sitting 26/11/2020

We had another Thursday afternoon Zoom meetup.

Liz was wired up to the Mind Mirror EEG

Liz did the opening prayer and then I sat first.

After a couple of minutes I started to be controlled and the communication began...

‘There are many levels of understanding, many ways to understand each piece of information that is presented to you. The world is a place full of information and beyond that world information comes in vast quantities. For you are supported, you are fed by a larger information system that has created you, that has formed you, that has given you the environment in which to play your part. Nothing is further from your mind than the greater reality, the larger information system that surrounds you, for this supports your every thought. You as an individual are adding to your own thoughts but they start, they begin, they are born in that larger information system. You use words to clothe your thoughts, words that are insufficient in projecting that meaning. The information that is given to you does not come in words, it comes in a knowing energy, a recognisable energy that fits you like a glove. For you were born into that energy and you have grown up and shaped that energy in your own unique way creating an individual character that has a life in a physical reality. That individual character continues to live beyond the physical reality but from that character a new character will grow, will branch out and begin a new life. Many lives build up a supporting energy, something which holds you together. All of your lives have been lived and have been recorded but the important part of those lives, the growth that was achieved, has added up, has created the energy that supports you, for that energy changes life after life and it is you who is creating that energy by the way you live, by the way you react to the life that you live, situations that are drawn towards you and the experiences that you have. Nothing is lost, everything is recorded for without that recording you would cease to exist, for that recording is a history thread that takes you back to your roots. Pull up those roots and you will be no more, but those roots are firmly embedded and will live on like life itself, continually changing, continually evolving and together all of life will develop into so much more. You as an individual need not worry for you have done this before and you will do it many more times. Just live your life, enjoy your life, try to bring happiness to the lives of others and you will see how beneficial life is to you and to all who you meet. There is no need to look back, for the fruits of your labours lay ahead and will be discovered when the time is right... thank you, thank you my friend’

I soon felt back with it, then Liz tuned in to see what would come through...

‘Got a name Phillip and cartoon characters... I think it’s your dad coming around but he’s reminding me of Prince Phillip. He’s looking older with white hair. He's giving me a sense of Egypt, looking at the Sphinx or one of those large entries into a tomb, a very narrow crack, that’s the connection with royalty. Getting this feeling that every man is a king at that point, the same as the old pharaohs going through that crack, that open doorway. It's just you, ruler of the world, you can change things at will. A black cat, now that’s changed into a little puppy dog with a collar. It's like preparing a magic show, you can do anything. Got Miss Pink or Miss Pinkie, a puppet in a TV show, Miss Piggy. A set of dominos, one looks like a three but it’s a double six’

My dad had many magic tricks and I seem to recall one that had an Egyptian theme with camels and pyramids. I’m pretty sure he would have had a Miss Piggy too that he used in his children’s shows when the Muppet Show was popular on TV. He seems to be describing his experience of dying and entering the spirit world, likening it to entering an Egyptian tomb and being able to do real magic now without the use of tricks.

‘Friends Meeting House’

This has a connection with my dad’s mum. 

‘I’m feeling him behind the wheel of a car, taking me to a nature reserve, birds nesting, windmill, he’s got his binoculars out, scanning the skies, lots of crows or rooks, that’s where he felt most at peace, his reservoir, the reservoir’

This sounds more like me than my dad as I often drive to Arlington reservoir with my wife and we see lots of birds and have talked about getting some binoculars. We find it to be a peaceful place. There isn’t a windmill there but that is the name of my road.

‘Image of silk stockings, somebody putting a silk stocking on their leg, pulling a stocking up’

For the last year of his life my dad had to wear surgical stockings.

‘You can go from one transition to another and now I’m feeling him in his boiler suit doing his man’s job, fiddling with taps and nuts, machine parts and spanners. He’s showing me all these different people, facets of himself. Back to the archway, when you go through that door you can be a king, it’s like you’ve got a free platform, entering a transition stage where anything is possible and the art is to control it so it doesn’t control you, you get some handle on it. The black cat and the little black dog with a red collar are with him. He wants to connect because he wants to let us know, it’s the most important revelation, how close he was to reality as a magician but this is like the real thing. He’s reminding me of the stepping out of the box and that’s what it is, stepping out of the box, the box of the normal constraints and beliefs and it’s a bit overwhelming, a bit scary because of the potential. It's like you have to know, to reassure you but also to assure you. He’s connecting me to my image of Rupert Bear who went on these magical adventures with his little Chinese friend’

I think he’s talking about being in the spirit world again.

‘Taking me back to the reservoir, the trees and the birds, the stillness and that was the place of observation and contemplation. Furrowed fields, ploughed, the seeds are there but they haven’t grown yet, they are all around. The farmer with his seed, sowing and the trusting, he almost has a certainty that the seed will grow, develop into a full plant. The preparing of the ground was the important thing, that fallow field resting, the soil is good and brown, a good earth connection. He’s saying I am the farmer sowing the seed, he’s in his blue boiler suit driving a tractor, there’s no magic wand about it. He’s showing me the telegraph wires, wire network, communication wires over the field where the seeds are being sown. The communication of the fruits when they are ripe, the communication of the process, it’s a learning process. We are communicating the whole process not just the end result and it’s important to know how it’s done, where it starts, the whole process. If you think of just scattering seeds without preparing the ground and think it’s that easy you won’t get very far. They are saying none of it is wasted, none of what we are doing is wasted. It's not easy, it’s labour, it’s work and effort. But that field that is perfectly prepared and fertile, the farmer can have, or we can have confidence in what we wish for, the fruits of this labour will develop, will grow to full fruition. He’s put a scarecrow in the field to keep the crows away, Worzel Gummidge. He’s just leaning out of the tractor’s window looking with satisfaction. He’s showing me a money box like a red tin post box, saying it’s important to put a portion of your wealth, your money aside to save up for this work. It's like an investment, this work, this labour, it’s a labour of love for something you want, and you’ve been doing that and he’s urging you to keep putting the pennies in. There’s a tendency to spend it on sweets but spend it on notebooks, serious stuff. He’s put on a schoolmaster's coat with a mortarboard, he does like buffooning around a bit. I'm feeling that once he went through that crack, he’s got free licence to play all these parts, these roles’

I think this week he wants to be more philosophical and his humour is coming through.

‘Now I'm getting a daisy so I feel Travis is behind the scenes somewhere. With Travis I’ve got galloping horses contrasted with talcum powder. Getting the words Christian leanings from Travis’

Travis was connected with the church before he became interested in mediumship.

‘It’s strange but I got an image behind that flashed, and I recognised it, of Sophie’s mum, I must contact Sophie, I hope she’s alright but she just flashed onto the screen. I know her dad is on the other side. I wonder if Nevil is wanting to contact Roberta? I've got a big letter H, a riding jump. I'll ask for healing’

Afterwards Liz phoned Sophie and asked her if her mother (Roberta) had been ill. Sofie said that she had had an accident. She fell and broke her shoulder blade, and it wasn't diagnosed correctly for three weeks, and she was just given a sling. She ended up having to have an operation, and it was all very traumatic. She reacted badly to the morphine, and the nurses thought she had dementia, and put her in a dementia ward. She is only just recovering from it all.

‘Something to do with a frogman’

Frogmen connect Liz to an accident, I’ll let her explain...

The frogman I recognised as connected with a Mercury Experiment session (4.4.19) where I picked up the cantilever Bridge engineer warning about a bridge collapse, with a speedboat crashing into it, and men in frogmen like outfits in the water. Four days later there was a news item in the Metro (8.4.19) about a bridge collapse in Brazil, with a boat crashing into it, and people and cars falling into the river, and frogmen searching for bodies. I have all the news cuttings from it, and the original transcript of the session. Very evidential. So, I connected Frogman image in my mind with an accident. I talked about the collapsed bridge connection with frogmen at the end of my reading, as we were chatting, and I was still partly connected to spirit. And that made me think of an accident. Although I didn't say it at the time, I wondered if maybe there had been a car crash or accident of some nature, in which Roberta was involved. But it was interesting the roundabout way that 'spirit' had of getting that info into my mind via the frogman connection. This is interesting because it shows that in my mediumship my intellectual mind or cortex is still operating at a super-conscious level and recognising and unravelling the images and messages. It's rather a tortuous process. It is as if spirit is sifting through my memory banks and mind for congruent images to communicate their meaning. Why such a devious route is used when the word 'accident' would have been so much easier. But I quickly connected 'frogman' to accident. Which is why I was amazed when I learnt that Roberta did suffer an accident. It was very confirmatory for me that spirit was communicating via my mind. Also, that accident was a fall, and the frogmen were in the river because people had 'fallen' off the bridge. 

Liz thanked everyone for coming and making themselves felt.

She did the healing exercise and our closing down exercise...

224th Sitting 19/11/2020

We had another Thursday afternoon Zoom meetup.

Liz was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.

Liz did an opening prayer.

This week we did it the other way round so I sat first. 

After about two minutes felt myself being controlled and the communication started...

‘It is always a great opportunity for us and for you to blend with that what you feel is beyond your touch and yet we form a part of you. You as a singularity are connected to so much more. There is nothing that you cannot reach, only your own beliefs hold you back. Begin each day with a clean sheet of paper, imagine that what you plan to do throughout that day, imagine writing on that piece of paper that what you see ahead of you throughout that day. Ask yourself what more can I do, how can I achieve that what I have planned in a more positive way, a more loving way, in a way that will raise the vibration of your world, of yourself, of all those who you will meet for you are each day playing your part in raising the vibration of human existence. You all are playing that part. Once you understand that that is what you are doing you will begin to develop a daily thought. At the beginning of each day, you will recognise the opportunities ahead of you, see in those opportunities more opportunities for growth, for development, for raising that vibration. There will be situations beyond your control, situations that are not within that plan and yet they too bring with them opportunities. You are learning and you are teaching. Those around you can feel the positivity in your thoughts. They are affected by you and you are affected by them but your choice is to be affected in a positive or negative way. Keep your mind in a positive frame and you achieve so much more. You will be that positive spark that creates more positivity throughout your world. You think of yourself as one small individual human being in a vast world and yet if you could see the connections, if you could feel the thoughts that are picked up by those who share your world, you will see that every thought you have has its impact on your world’

‘It is easy to see situations as being negative, it is difficult to see the positivity, and yet as you concentrate on finding that positivity in the gravest of situations you will develop within yourself a greater ability to see the positivity in all things’ 

‘A simple smile is a useful tool in the spreading of positivity. When you see someone smile you see the true person within trying to get out, trying to reach you, trying to touch you. You all share that urge to make life better and yet the easy option of taking the negative route is always there to tempt. Be strong, be positive and see the fruits of your endeavours grow, see them blossom, see them develop in those who you meet. Life can be so simple when viewed with positive eyes. The negativities of your world are always there and will always confuse you. Simplify your life with a smile and slowly you will see how simple life can be... Thank you’

I felt back with it after about 30 seconds then Liz tuned in to see what she could get...

‘I think I've got your gran, your mother’s mother... hair curlers... making brandy snaps, she liked doing things in the kitchen, making sweet things, things that would tickle your palate, that was her way of showing how welcome you were’

Good description of my mum’s mum.

‘A goldfish bowl, pond dipping’

As a boy I used to go pond dipping in Bexhill park and caught a few minnows which I put in a fish bowl.

‘She’s feeling a little bit shy, wants to straighten her dress. I feel she fussed over things, wasn’t secure in her image of herself, fussed over her appearance and presenting herself right. She’s holding my hands saying it’s alright I just have to say these things’

That sounds like her.

‘Spring bulbs, planting... fennel, root vegetable... She wasn’t very good with identity, self-identity, didn’t really know who she was... the image of the glass half full or half empty... her life was confined by domesticity so didn’t have a chance to find herself, there was an artist inside her, she would have liked to paint, to draw plants’

She was a very domestic person.

‘She liked what was said earlier as she did have appreciation for the little things in life, the simple pleasures. She spent a lot of time with napkins and teacloths and ironing but neglected to find out who she really was. She was a positive person, a lot of love there but she over fussed and didn’t quite let it flow out freely, she got side tracked with appearances, image, presenting herself in a certain way. She would have liked to be more cuddles and fun but her way of showing it was to keep things neat and tidy and to make nice cakes’

This also sounds like her, simple pleasures, always ironing, napkins on the table, house always neat and tidy and she did make nice cakes.

‘Grandad her husband was the larger character, she just felt like the housekeeper, the little woman. She was unable to show her real self but she’s finding that now, she’s able to flower now, there isn’t the need to preserve appearances, there aren’t any appearances to preserve. It's like she was a blank canvas, she hadn’t allowed that canvas to be filled. She’s talking about love, the expression of love’

Yes, grandad was the larger character always clowning around whereas she was more serious and quieter.

‘She’s giving me the image of salt and pepper. I guess the significance of salt and pepper is you use it to give the food more flavour, to bring out more flavour. They're the little enrichments in your life that can help you to bring out your inner gifts, the real person inside you, the full flavour of yourself. I think that’s what she wants to say to you, the spice, the condiments, adding those little things to your life helps to bring out the flavour. That's why she liked making sweet cakes, she used the sugar, the sweetness to give that extra sweetening, that was her way. Flapjacks, gingerbread men’

This is interesting as the image of salt and pepper that she gave Liz brings back a memory to me of when she used to cook dinners for somebody who then smothered them in salt and pepper. This used to annoy her having spent a lot of time cooking the dinner as she felt it had ruined the flavour. Whereas Liz has put her own interpretation on the salt and pepper as giving the food more flavour which is just the opposite. This shows the importance of just giving what you get and not putting your own interpretation to it.

‘I’m smelling stewed fruit cooking, stewing apples’

She made nice apple pies with little chimneys in the middle letting the aroma out.

‘She’s giving me a feeling that she was in hospital. It was like a wakeup call, a positive experience. She was out of the home and venerable and people were still kind to her, looking after her, still acknowledged her as a person, she didn’t have her hair permed or any appearance to keep up. It was a sense of relief, she was surprised. She was in a ward at some point but might have been in a room of her own, no sure what she’s showing me’

I don’t recall her being in hospital but she did end her days in a care home and I think this may be what she is trying to get through.

‘A sense of breathing, oxygen... she had an operation’

I don’t recall this.

‘It was nice to have someone else cooking for her... there was a problem with food’

I don’t know about a problem with food.

‘I’m not getting a bad feeling about being in hospital for some reason, she felt cared for, let off the hook. She's watching herself in the bed, it’s like she walked away, she left that person there, a sense of kindness stayed with her, people helped her to walk away. She was surprised that it didn’t seem to matter, that she didn’t feel bad’

She had dementia in the care home and quite possibly left her body which seems to be what is described here.

‘She’s giving me the feeling that she left your grandfather, I don’t know if I've got this correctly. I can almost see him at the bed with her but it’s like she’s walking away. It's like when she went, she went of her own free will. I can’t really tell but I feel she died before him and that he was still there but I have that brown feeling next to her bed of somebody there’

Grandad died first but when in her dementia state she could have seen him at her bedside.

‘She’s giving me an image associated with her, of an elderly lady who had cataracts and had a rather difficult relationship with her son-in-law, she’s reminding me of the grandma in the Royle Family TV show. She's giving me the feeling of angels, an angelic feeling and a connection with chrysanthemums’

Not sure who this elderly lady is? My mum loved chrysanthemums and maybe she did too.

‘She had an intestinal problem at the end’

I don’t know about this.

‘All she wants to do is send lots of love. It's like she’s trying to help me to receive what she wants to say but I don’t know if I've given her information correctly but there’s a level... almost like images of the snow in The Snow Queen, like in Walt Disney films, all the fairy tales of angels and Christmas wonders. I think she’s just trying to give me the feeling she’s in a wonderland now, it’s what she’s stepped into, like the Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, a whole new experiential realm. It's hard for her to describe the peace and happiness and wonderment’

‘She’s taking me back to the hospital, she was able to just float away but at the end she wasn’t quite there, she’d already gone. She saw herself and she saw people there and she was surprised that she didn’t feel guilty at leaving but she didn’t and it was just such an easy experience’

This again I think is the care home and her ability to leave her body due to the dementia.

‘Something about food at the hospital, she appreciated being cooked for and what was there but she couldn’t eat, she had a problem with her digestive system at that point. I saw the fennel earlier; fennel is very good for digestion’

Again, not sure about her health or what caused her to die.

‘I’ll say thank you very much, thank you for being there... It felt like she was holding my hands and saying be patient, not to try and say things, it was me that was getting in the way, but she just wants to convey to you this strong feeling of peace and love, it’s like it’s been liberated, something inside her that she couldn’t feel completely because she was too concerned with the outside appearances but now it’s like that’s all come to the forefront and it’s like being a piece of satin or silver, just clear water, and it’s just all the love, the peace and the good feeling and she just wants a metaphorical hug for you. A lot of kindness there, a lot of sweetness. I’m getting the feeling your grandad is there, behind her, letting her have her say’

‘She’s giving me the image of an old black and white checked coat, a woollen winter coat, tweed, something she wore, she’s wrapping it around herself... and the image again of rust-coloured chrysanthemums, golden russet coloured, large bunches, in connection with the funeral’

Liz thanked her for coming and sent her love.

Liz then sent out healing and our closing down exercise.

Afterwards I sent Liz this photo and she confirmed the coat was how she saw it although she had seen the black and white pattern larger and more pronounced. When she enlarged the image, she could see it the same but a smaller tweed pattern...

223rd Sitting 12/11/2020

We had another Thursday afternoon Zoom meetup.

Liz was wired up to the Mind Mirror EEG.

After doing the opening prayer Liz tuned in to see what she could get for me...

‘I’ve got somebody coming forward who says he’s a school master, thin wavy dark hair, a crumpled look about him, wearing a crumpled mac, his face is slightly asymmetric, pale skin. He’s showing me a globe, he taught geography, he was a smoker, exercise books and maps. He was a secondary school teacher’

I recognise this person from the description and he was a favourite teacher of mine at secondary school. I can’t remember if he was a smoker or not.

I asked Liz if she could get a name.

‘I get a letter D, Donald or Donaldson or Drew. He reminds me of someone I knew called Mick, an Irish statistician’

This is very interesting and shows how hard spirit try to get something evidential through as Liz first gets the letter D which is correct, then she says three names which are incorrect. But then it’s as if spirit is trying hard to correct her and gives her someone called Mick. And if you replace M with the letter D you get Dick which is correct. At the time I thought Liz was totally wrong as I only knew him as Mr Rumsby but have since found out his first name was Dick.

‘He’s got a wedding ring on his finger. He gives me a feeling of rain and going out, a school van. Pickled onions’

Don’t know if he was married or not but do remember going on school trips. Not sure about pickled onions.

‘The feeling of the world being your oyster was very important to him, important to extend your knowledge of the world, the greater world, a sense of place, where we are’

I guess this would be true as he was a geography teacher.

‘Cutlery, knives and forks and spoons. An old piano. A Christmas party, old school hall, decorations’

This could be a reference to a school reunion I went to about 15 years ago held in an old school hall and he was there.

‘He tried to make an effort to make school an enjoyable experience, create interest and fun. He wasn’t incredibly fit, in his 50s or late 40s, struggling with his health, to do with his smoking. He would have liked to have been able to extend his student’s interests beyond the immediate environment to other countries, particularly Africa, the Amazon, tropical rain forests, exotic places but he wasn’t a very exotic person. Image of a giraffe, long neck, sense of reaching up to something a bit beyond, the tree just out of reach, evolutionary possibilities. He didn’t live much beyond his 60s’

He would have been in his 70s when I saw him at the reunion and in his 40s when I was at school. Not sure about the state of his health. 

‘He’s showing me a lady, Mrs Murry, connected with the school and with him, maybe his wife. Short hair, greyish white, a pleasant face, plumper than he is, dressed simply but quite nicely, a blue dress. She plays the piano. School dinners. A sunshine feeling about her, had a nice speaking voice’

Can’t place Mrs Murry.

‘He was dehydrated, needed water but he is showing me such lush tropical forests and exotic places and his message for you is he is wanting to give you that colour in your life, to create that importance of exploration, the exotic, beyond your normal boundaries, to explore, step out of the humdrum. Like a television turning from black and white to colour. His life had lost the colour, he’d become quite desiccated. The lady he was showing me had become the ray of sunshine in his life, transformed his life from the grey to this pageant of colour but as you would recognise him he was this more desiccated teacher but who had in his spirit a desire to share the world, to share good things’

I’ve been watching a lot of Michael Palin travel programmes recently and it’s been in my mind how interesting some of the places are and the people who live there and the possibility of travelling to some of them which kind of ties up with his message.

‘He’s giving me the image of a tinder box, wish fulfilling, a rubber band’

‘The name Coulson’

Can’t place Coulson.

‘That wonderful possibility of being able to visit any of these wonderful places on the surface of the Earth, explore all these new vistas and environments. Seeing monkeys swinging in the trees, cheetahs, giraffes. The things you are able to do at school are very limiting. The use of the imagination to take you beyond your normal environment is so important especially if your financial situation doesn’t allow you to travel. What it’s like for him now is more like dreams. Once a teacher, always a teacher. He's got a drawing board with little flags on it, you put a flag in a place and you wish to be there and you can be there, there isn’t any distance. It's just like on a computer, you click on a tab and open up the icon and you’re there experiencing it as a full reality. It’s like a virtual reality game but it’s as real as anything. At school you look at maps, learn facts and it’s two dimensional, but what if you can actually be there, experiential learning, multidimensional. It's like stepping through the book, stepping through the icon into the full reality. It's the limitations of our learning system, where we don’t use the imagination enough. David Attenborough brings those worlds close to people, into our living rooms’

This could be referring to my ongoing meditations and developing the ability to travel to other realities.

‘The lady in the blue dress, I'm seeing her more clearly, she looks like my mum. She’s telling me it’s Andy, somebody I know who’s just died’

‘I’m getting chess board, your dad’s there, blue overalls, work outfit, plumbing tools, spanners. A cat in a bag. Your dad with a sparkler, a bit like a magic wand but a firework’

Yes dad worked on washing machines. The cat in a bag could have been a glove puppet used in his children’s shows and I remember him enjoying indoor fireworks particularly sparklers.

‘He's got your grandma with him, an older lady with white hair, shoulder length with a fringe, quite thick, in her 60s or 70s. Your father’s mother. She’s got quite a characterful face, skin wrinkled and tanned, she’s been in the sun. A feeling of a younger person about her, vitality’ 

This describes my dad’s mother very well.

‘She's trying to take the overalls off your dad, she would have liked him to have made more of himself, was worth more than that job. A feeling of birds in cages. She's fussing over him’ 

I think this would be true. Not sure about the birds in cages unless it’s a metaphor for being stuck in the same job.

‘A stuffed animal with horns on a wall like a trophy. A bowl of grapes, fruit is good for you’

She wouldn’t have had a stuffed animal on a wall. Don’t know about grapes but she grew a lot of gooseberries. 

‘Your little car was a present from her, she’s showing me a little car. She would have appreciated quite grand cars. A sense of spaghetti connected with cars somehow, an Italian car, a Maserati sports car’

I did have the feeling that she was with me when I bought my car a couple of years ago, I felt she was encouraging me to buy it. It’s the same make, model and colour as one she had in the 50s except that mine is modified with a more powerful engine. Maybe she was trying to get this through about it being more powerful and Liz interpreted it as a Maserati sports car.

‘She seeded the interest of motor mechanics in you, cars, because she had an interest in cars’ 

This is true, she had an old Ford Popular which I loved going out in and I remember finding a stack of old Car Mechanics magazines in a room at the top of her house and brought them home. I still have them.

‘Her home was her castle, she’s got an ancestry in her, a person of prominence. A crenelated castle, can almost see her in other centuries as the lady of the castle. Strange animals, see an animal like a pig, exotic pet. Swords in tabards. Sandy places like Camber Sands’ 

Yes, she actually designed her house and had it built in the 30s. She always had pets but just dogs and cats. She enjoyed the beach and probably went to Camber Sands many times.

‘She must have driven herself; I can feel her behind the wheel, she would have liked to do racing, quite a character’

Yes, she loved driving and drove her own cars from the 1930s to the 1970s. Her husband didn’t drive.

‘She loved her boys and wanted the best for them and would have liked your dad to make more of himself, she knew he had a lot of potential but limited himself with his humdrum job’

She had three children, all boys.

‘She’s really interested in your car and would like to see you do more with it, it’s a collector's market. She’s out there on the racetracks with you waving her flag. Brambles, blackberry brambles, a memory. I see her in a car with a headscarf around her head, she loved that feeling, would have loved an open car, she wants you to have an open car and she’ll be sitting next to you. She was a bit of an adrenalin junky or would have been if her life had permitted her to be that. She showed her stamp in all sorts of original ways, she wasn’t humdrum, see her in bangles and heavy jewellery, making herself look interesting, smart, the lady of the castle. She’s spending a lot of time with your dad now, taken those old overalls off him and approving of him wanting to be a real magician now. Your gran or your dad is tossing a ball, doing football tricks, rolling it up their arms and legs, doing clever things with a ball. They are holding up a large multicoloured golf umbrella over their heads. Looking like Mary Poppins because they can do that now’

This all describes my gran very well and I remember picking blackberries with her.

Liz thanked all those who had been with her and for the messages and information they brought through.

Then it was my turn.

It took a bit longer than usual for me to be controlled but after about five minutes the communication began...

‘Each pathway you take... There is always a goal that you work towards, each pathway you walk down you are experiencing new feelings, new ideas. You are gathering experience, building up experience and you are learning. There is always much to be learnt from each experience. Try to understand that you have the ability to learn and to become something more, something larger, more encompassing. Allow your mind to wander, do not restrict yourself to old ideas. Allow yourself to stray from your comfort zone. Do not be afraid of mistakes for mistakes are there to help you, to shape you, to bring you more into focus with a truer picture. Allow those mistakes to become part of your experience and develop a true connection with yourself and with those around you, those that help you, those that you can feel and those you listen to. Watch for differences in your life, take note of unusual events, unusual experiences. These are presented to you to help you’

‘The most important part of each day is the beginning. Set yourself a task each day. Live your life achieving that task. You can always repeat experiences day by day but real learning is to step out of yourself, try something new, allow your mind to wander’

I then came back. 

It had felt to me as if I hadn’t got a very strong connection during the communication this week. 

Liz then sent out healing and we did our closing down exercise...

222nd Sitting 05/11/2020

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...

‘Grandfather feeling, coming forward, green fingers, a brick wall, the bottom part of a greenhouse, I can almost see his face, he’s smiling... He’s giving me a sense of a dark blue velvet bag which is reminding me of the bag I used to have with a very old computer inside... he’s drawing my attention to a computer, hard drive’

This is very evidential as I recently found a picture on my computer and I wasn’t 100% sure it was grandad as he wasn’t looking at the camera and I could only just see his face. He is in front of a greenhouse which had a brick wall as the bottom part. I think Liz saw this picture as she said she could almost see his face.

‘False teeth, chattering, talking about chatter, a chatterbox... Image of Tinkerbell above his head with a magic wand, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, the story of when the father was in the dog kennel, the dog was the nanny’

I’m not 100% sure but I think I remember grandad having false teeth and taking them out sometimes for a laugh with my brother and I. We never called his wife ‘gran’ but called her ‘nan’ and I wonder if that is why Liz got the story of the dog who was the nanny.

‘Something about fish... ornamental fish, gold fish in a pond’

They had several display cabinets with a fish in them on the walls.

‘He’s stirring up a stew, stirring up a hornet’s nest. He's putting the words in my mind, take a long hard look, a piece of cheese on a cheese board with holes in it, cut into slices, something to do with nutrition, hard cheese being portioned’

Not sure about this but it could be a referring to how much cheese we eat. My wife only allows us to eat a small portion of cheese each week as she believes it's not good for us to eat too much.

‘Sophie...’

Still can’t place Sophie.

‘People in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones. He’s doing a lot of pottering, he liked pottering. He also liked washing his car, looking after his car and you do, he’s with you there’

This is all true.

‘Gnomes in the garden, like Big Ears, Noddy and Big Ears, he’s laughing. He’s holding a dish cloth, says it’s time for a cuppa tea’

Not sure about this.

‘A large dustcart... take hold of the reigns, don’t let the world dismiss you, the dustcart is taking away all the garbage, all the rubbish, you can get rid of it all but you stand firm, keep hold of what you value, get rid of all the things that aren't valuable to you. He’s showing me an ornament of a wise owl, wisdom, hold fast to that, your own inner wisdom’

‘Black and white chess set, I think it’s your dad again, somebody bigger, got dark hair, showing himself younger. Wearing a dark winter woollen coat with a collar, driving a flock of geese. Goosey Goosey Gander...’

This all applies to dad apart from the geese.

‘He’s showing me lavender, the colour of lavender’

This reminds me of a holiday in Scotland when dad picked some purple heather and attached it to the grille of the car. It lasted for many weeks afterwards.

‘Sadie again, small and plump, not very well, stiff in the joints, connected with your mother. Holland, Dutch connection’

Still not ringing a bell.

‘Brown... brown leather gloves, driving gloves. Brown leather shoes, brown leather buttons’

Not sure about this unless dad is trying to get through my old brown leather school bag which was recently found at dad’s house and I brought it home.

‘An omelette. A parrot, pretty Polly. He’s saying if I knew what to say I'd say it. A piano, he was better with music than speaking’

I recon this could be pancake not omelette as dad was a dab hand at making and tossing pancakes. Interestingly all the other things mentioned begin with the letter P as in pancake.

‘Carpet-baggers, golf bag’

Not sure about this.

‘Beatles song about a hole in the roof, Hey Jude... Father Christmas and a sledge, he wants to sing Christmas songs, a Magical Mystery Tour, an Aladdin’s Cave, Jeanie, he wants to be a Wizard, he wants to do real magic, wish fulfilling magic. He’s showing me a chicken wishbone’

We always used to pull the wishbone when we had chicken for dinner

‘I asked what would he wish for and he said Celia’

Celia is his brother’s wife.

‘Tinderbox, the soldier and the tinderbox, a wish fulfilling thing that leads him to the beautiful princess. The tail shouldn’t wag the dog, the dog should wag the tail’

‘A gravel path with stones, pebbles either side of it, garden path, the pebbles are making me think of Easter eggs’

The path to the garage had gravel through the middle as well as concrete with large pebbles sunk into it, some of which were the size and shape of Easter eggs.

‘Someone in a mackintosh with a sou’wester, black’

I used to wear this when doing my paper round in the rain.

‘Old locomotive train, one of the old steam engines, a special sort of green with some gold’

My brother’s hobby is steam engines.

‘He says he’s got you in his sights’

‘Birds' nests with an emotional feeling, an empty nest... I want to put blue blackbird eggs in the nest’

This could be the seagull nest mentioned last week but not sure about the blackbird eggs.

‘He’s showing me rail tracks and tram lines and they’re all crossing, like a confluence, a lot of things coming together, like coming into a big station, lines from all different places. He says it’s very difficult to navigate, so much information coming from all different directions, difficult to keep on track. You have to be a bit of a genie to get the hang of it, he’s giving me an image of a tangled ball of wool’

Liz asked him to step back a little bit as he was giving her too much energy.

‘He’s giving me the Diamond, the Diamond is helping him... green, green grasses, emerald... he so much wants to help, he wants to be part of this, it’s like the real magic. He got a feeling of it when he was here but he didn’t think it was possible’

He shared a very emotional psychic experience with someone about 10 years ago.

‘There’s a lot of emotion there and he’s making me feel like crying...’

Liz was now getting very emotional.

‘...a lot of suppressed emotion, he can’t tell you how much he loves you, he couldn’t tell you, not in so many words, but he wants you to know and that’s why he really wants to be part of this. Because he feels he didn’t support you in quite the way that he could have done if he’d have realised but his belief system blocked him. But now he knows it’s true there’s nothing stopping him now, he’s been hovering around me, trying to get this message through to you. He's got help now from our dear old Travis and the group; he knew it was important for you. And Sadie is important somehow... Got the name Sigourney Weaver’

This describes dad very well.

Liz thanked our friends. She had found the energy overpowering and took a while come back with it. 

Then it was my turn and after a few minutes I was controlled and the communication began...

‘The mind is so powerful that it will penetrate into all that surrounds you, that you feel surrounds you for you are building up a bridge, building many bridges, many forms of connection that will help you to deliver a true message, a true feeling, a true emotion. The strength of that connection can be adjusted. You have the power within yourself to adjust the strength, adjust the power. An emotion can bring with it a form of energy that can disorientate your thinking. You have allowed yourself to reach out, you have allowed yourself to accept information from a higher source, a higher energy. You yourself may not be aware of the strength of that energy until you feel that energy, until you feel the effect of that energy on yourself. Learn to recognise that energy. Learn to prepare yourself to receive that energy without distraction. Do this and the words will flow through you. You need to develop a form of turning off your mind to that what you are familiar with. Feel yourself raising above yourself, entering into areas as yet unseen by you, unfelt by you, a new experience which with practice will become familiar to you, comfortable to you, you will fit like a glove. Your mind will stay focused in that energy and you will bring forward more interesting information’ 

‘Development is a slow process, occasionally you will experience advanced forms of mediumship. Experience this and allow it to bring you more into focus with solid evidence. Inside of you are many developing possibilities, you have to choose whether to allow the strength of your mediumship to grow. All development is governed by your own choice and as you experience more, those choices will be easier to make. You will feel the differences as new situations will be brought forward into your mind. You will begin to see more, you will begin to feel more and you will join in with a shared experience, a shared emotion’

‘You are already connected to all things and yet your mind holds on to your individuality. Use experience to help you, to help you to grow, to reach out and touch the hearts of all who are working with you for they are connected to your heart and they draw from your energy. And they link themselves to you forming one evolving energy able to transmit and receive. The physical world provides many opportunities to learn and yet there is always more, there is always further understanding at your fingertips. Continue to develop, continue to sit and your world will grow from within’

‘There is always balance in your life but at times you will feel one sided. Do not let this alarm you for it is a part of your development and balance will always return, thank you’

I felt back with it after a few seconds and Liz said she had found the communication very helpful.

Liz then did a closing prayer, sent out healing and did our closing down exercise...
