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...

229th Sitting 07/01/2021


We had another Zoom meet-up.


Liz was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.


Liz did the opening prayer.


I was soon controlled and the communication began...


‘There is always value in a communication, in all communication. Someone will benefit, someone will find something of interest that will spark in their minds a thought, a thought about the larger reality, the bigger picture. You all live your individual lives in your physical world, you find all that you need in your physical world and yet a part of you can sense that there is so much more. Treat each day as a new adventure, treat each day as a new beginning and as that day unravels make the most of all that you see, all that you come across, all of the situations that are presented to you throughout that day for they have been given to you as a gift. Treasure that gift, learn from that gift and pass that gift onto others. There is much that you can do to improve your world, to brighten your world, to raise the vibration of your world. You yourself are connected to every part of that world and every being that exists in your world. The way you react to situations can be felt by everybody within that world and beyond that world. You are a part of consciousness and as consciousness you spread your wings throughout all of life. Nothing is hidden from you; nothing is disconnected from you. What you do now sends ripples throughout all of consciousness. Create positivity in your life and that positivity will be felt. Do not let those situations and those people around you dim that positivity. You are in charge of your life; you choose how to react. Make those choices with love in your heart, understand how each person in your world is also working towards raising the vibration in your world in their own way, making mistakes, learning from mistakes and growing. You cannot judge another person for you are not that person. All mind has its own value to life and each person in your world contributes to that value’


‘Many words have been said throughout your world, many changes have happened as a result of those words. Choose your words carefully, consider the meaning behind each word you utter for that is what you are giving to one another. You may feel it is merely words but the feelings travel throughout your world, they contribute to the growth, the raising of vibrations throughout your world. Those words that you hear, put your own feeling on those words, do not let the words drive you for you are in charge. If you allow worlds to affect the way you think you have lost that connection with yourself. Always be one step ahead of yourself, prepare yourself, set aside your beliefs and fears, and see everybody as a part of something greater. Understand that they are working at creating positive energy. Words can be misunderstood, life can be misunderstood, look for the good in all situations, stay positive and remember to play you part. You have all been given a great opportunity to better yourself and better your world. Make your life joyous by joining hands with all who you meet, creating friendships and understanding. There are many levels of understanding, try to keep yourself raised to the highest levels. Keep your thoughts pure and your heart open and those around you will feel your energy, your positive energy. You cannot be harmed by words when you see them as interpretations of love. Love can be found in all things, in all situations and if you look for that love you will not be hurt... Thank you, thank you my dear friend’


Liz... ‘Thank you friend’


I soon felt back with it and then Liz started to tune in... 


‘I’ve got this gentleman, a sailor, quite elderly, late 70s, very vital but a wrinkled face, creased face, a bit like Popeye the Sailor Man. He reminds me of Bill, maybe connected with Bill? Maybe someone you’ve met? He’s singing things like ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor’ in a blue stripy uniform, wants to do a jig, happy nautical person, grey hair, feels as though he’s tanned but he’s showing himself pale. Barrels of rum, boats, rowing boats, fishing. In the Navy, a capstan, large mechanical apparatus on a bigger boat. I feel he’s also connected with Travis or knows Travis. He’s saying garage. A feeling of long hair that’s been cut off like a plat, connection with a barber, a barber’s sign. He’s being playful, got Long John Silver with a wooden leg, pirates. He’s a kind person, I feel I know him. There’s a lady connected with him, Dahlia or Delia, a lady that got left behind, a very nice lady. The sea was very important in his life, the open sea and the waves, a self-sufficient person. He’s singing ‘All the nice girls love a sailor’ He didn’t like to be pegged down, it was a relationship he could dip in and out of. He’s popping phrases into my head, there’s plenty more fish in the sea. I’m getting a name like Roy. I’m sensing a massage, don’t get hooked up. He's sensing the vastness of the spirit world and it’s reminding him of that sense of adventure and open space on the sea, the lure of foreign lands. Sailor Sam. Telescopic vision looking into the distance, telescope. Keep coming back to the lady, the softness, the petticoats, there was that element but he didn’t want to get hooked into that, but he appreciated that. The thing that really held him was the distance, keeping his freedom. Now he's got that but it’s as if he’s slightly cut adrift’


Sounds like a nice chap but nobody I recognise. Roy was mentioned and is the name of a long-time friend of my dad but he doesn’t in any way fit the description.


‘Now I’ve got somebody coming forward, brown overalls, got the name George, somebody different. Grey curly hair, brown grocers coat like a store manager, a sense of packets of corn flakes, grocery store. Seeing a till, counting up the pennies. Don't know if this is somebody you can connect with or a store where you worked?’


Me... ‘I can’t place anything at the moment’


‘Connection with newspapers. A nice man, magpies, feeding birds. Could be symbolic, black and white, somebody who had strong opinions, left and right, right and wrong. Somebody who had a Protestant work ethic, having to earn your bread and butter. Paper doilies on plates, strong commitment to the home, supporting a household. Liked to see lads being brought up the right way, knowing how to earn their pocket money, earn their living, not take things for granted, help the family, that was him, leaving school early to work. Getting a sense of bicycles against the shop, boys' bikes’


The only thing I can think of is the newsagents where I did a paper round as a boy and we all lent our bikes against the shop when collecting the papers but I have no memory of the guy who ran the shop unfortunately.


‘Getting a radio and the name Teddy, radio broadcast, like the little radios you had just after the war, battery operated, dials and knobs, getting the words testing, testing, testing... Just asking if anybody was trying to come through and I got a jokey The Queen of Sheba’


I wonder if Liz got Teddy wrong and it’s actually Freddy? Freddy used to come through each week in the Mercury Circle and would always announce himself with ‘Radio radio...’ I also remember him jokingly saying things like ‘testing, testing...’ He would definitely say the Queen of Sheba as a play on words, Queen being the name of the rock band he sung in and his character was camp like a queen.


‘My feeling is it’s your dad, I’ve got leather buttons, brown leather buttons, the sort that look like chestnuts, conkers. He’s wanting to put spectacles on to look more closely, finding it difficult to focus. He's got the Christmas and holly out of the way, settling down to something a bit more serious. He's brought me back to the Christmas dinner, and socks. Piano keyboard, wanting to play it, saying something funny like the Raj of Kapoor. The importance of having music in your life, music as a way of sharing, communicating, expressing. The black and white notes, the black and white, the minor key, to be able to express sadness in the minor keys, associate the minor keys with that more spiritual searching, longing, the sadness, the deeper emotions. Image of Polly Parrot, a parrot just repeats things, with the piano you can create things, speak your own... vary, a parrot can’t play the piano. He’s got his hat and a magic wand, he’s tapping his hat with the magic wand, reminding me of Sooty and Sweep, Harry Corbet, izzy wizzy let’s get busy, and then Sweep comes along and does something silly, the magic goes wrong. He’s put into my head Grange Hill, a drama on TV, I don’t know if you ever watched it?'


Me... ‘I never watched it but I know what it is’


‘Children that were difficult, bullying, antisocial. He’s saying girls have problems as well, girls can be subjected to bullying and can have nasty experiences, rough and tumble. He's giving me an image of putting all these experiences into a pot and stirring it. Cook it all up, boil it so it’s all mixed up then you just pour it onto the earth, let it settle and get digested into the earth, it all goes back to feed the earth, grist for the mill. I'm still feeling that keyboard, very prominent, he wants to emphasize it. Getting the colour violet, connected with higher spirituality, crown chakra, third eye, imagination. Loosen up the keyboard, he’s urging you to get back into music, to improvise, let rip, to play, to encourage your creativity. Oh, for the wings of a dove’


‘I don’t know if your dad could be sarcastic at times but he’s going back to the parrot in the cage, pretty Polly, pretty Polly...’


Me... ‘Yes, he was sarcastic’


‘Yes, because he often seems to make sarcastic comments, it’s his form of humour but he’s very perceptive really. He's a bit of a heavy dude really, he’s got a strong character’


‘I’m getting brown wrapping paper in connection with you, that you wrap parcels in, don’t know if it’s of any significance to you but I'm just seeing it being unrolled?’


Me... ‘I do use that sometimes’


I have been sending off and receiving a few parcels recently.


‘The association I'm getting is wrapping up candlesticks’


I haven’t done that.


‘This may be a link with Brenda’


Brenda has been sorting out a lot of dad’s stuff, some of which she has been wrapping up and sending to places but not candlesticks.


‘Did they have a little dog? Was Brenda thinking of getting a dog?’


Me... ‘No...’


‘I’m just seeing a dog, white, quite small, long hair, looks like a lady’s dog... He’s taking me to an image of train sets, like Hornby, ones that are quite realistic’


My brother had Hornby train sets when we were young.


‘Is there French windows in Brenda’s house?’


Me... ‘Yes French doors’


‘I’m with him there, feels like a living room or lounge, French doors going onto the garden’


This describes the room where he passed. It’s a back room but does look like a living room and the French doors lead out to the back garden.


‘Just get the feeling he’s wanting her to know he’s still around. Did they ever grow things in their garden?’


Me... ‘Only flowers and shrubs’


‘I was getting a feeling of cabbages, green veg’


Me... ‘Years ago my Dad grew things like that, not the latter years’


‘He’s giving me the image of a mop head. I'm feeling he’s much more comfortable now, much more relaxed, settled, energy feels smoother. I think he had a rough ride the last few years and he’s needed some healing time to feel easy again, at peace, resolve all the bits of his life, all the memories, all the different associations and to be there with it and to visit but without it jarring, without it pulling at his heart strings in the same way. It’s like he’s accepting, coming to terms with it and even enjoying the sense of adventure and freedom, the sense of being able to watch and interact and the possibilities. I wonder if he brought through this elderly sailor that came at first, his experience’


‘Getting that name Dahlia again and I don’t know if it’s a woman or flowers. Has Sarah been doing anything with dahlias?’


Me... ‘Not that I know of but I can ask her’


She tells me she hasn’t.


‘I’ll say thank you to him, unless there’s anything else he wishes to say... he’s given me kittens. That reminds me of a song my gran used to sing... two little kittens that lost their mittens all on a winter’s day. He says we need to go and have some tea...’


Liz thanked all of our friends for coming and for the communication.


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