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...

230th sitting 16/01/2021


We had a Zoom sitting.


Liz was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.


Liz did an opening prayer and asked for information on the dying process, the conditions we find ourselves in and what life is like in the spirit world.


I was soon controlled and the communication began...


‘Each day of your life brings new forms of evidence for you are walking in a world full of synchronicities. You notice these synchronicities in your life and you find they will help you for you have begun to develop, you have started a pathway of investigation and we wish to help you, we wish to give you that support but we do not wish to interfere with your free will. You have to make your own way, you have to decide, you have to create a picture in your mind and build on that picture yourself. We join with you in your life, in your discoveries and we add to the enthusiasm in your mind to continue to move forward, continue to unravel the secrets of your own world. There was a time when life was simple but your world has become a place of complications. Each person in your world adds to those complications until they realise their true selves. You have understood this and are working at unravelling those mysteries. One by one you walk a predetermined pathway and yet as you walk you also live a physical life. Leave yourself open to our worlds. Live a physical life and a spiritual life, keep one foot in each reality and you will pick up those subtle reminders throughout your life that will encourage you to keep on moving forward, to keep on discovering more. Only you can interpret that what you discover and, in that interpretation, you will begin to unfold a truth, a truth for you. There is no need to compare that truth with the truth of others for you know, you know what is true and what is false. Use your own mind to create your own way of understanding. We can help and we will help but as you grow you draw closer to yourself, your true self, that what has given you the opportunity to live a physical life, and that what you will return to when the time is right. There is nothing complicated about the circle of life and when you do find complications irritating your mind cast them aside, keep your mind focused on that what is simple, that what is easy to understand for as you develop, you will find it easier to be both in the physical world and the spiritual world, for both states are natural to you. It is only your world that has taught you to stay firmly fixed to the physical world but your true self knows that your part is being played in both worlds simultaneously. Listen for our words, watch for the synchronicities in your life and keep your life simple. The physical world was designed for you and you fit that world like a glove, but when you become unbalanced, when you cling to the physical, that world becomes a world full of complications, a world full of questions, a world full of misunderstandings. Balance your spiritual life and physical life and you will become a whole person... thank you, thank you my dear friend, please continue with your interesting experiments and we will speak again’


Liz... ‘Thank you friend’


We had a short break as Liz lost her internet signal and had to move into another room.


Then we started again and Liz tuned in to see what she could get...


‘I’ve got an elderly gentleman, might be your grandfather. He’s got a greyish look about him; hair is grey, he is slightly stooped and he has a pleasant face but it’s slightly sunken, I’m seeing him in about his 80s, bushy eyebrows, lips fleshy, ears sticking out a little bit, a squarish face, nose quite large. I think it’s your grandfather on your mother’s side but, that’s what I'm feeling. He’s got a withered look about him, a gardener feeling but he had a slightly worried air about him, I felt him before we started, a very clear feeling he was there. He’s saying something about tunnels and I immediately get the feeling of tunnel vision. He appeared when I asked about the dying process and what it meant, what it felt like. He’s saying it was a bit of a shock in a way, he’d had tunnel vision about that, about the afterlife. It took him a while to acclimatise, I think he felt worried about leaving. I get the feeling of him with his cabbages and the things he was used to, the physical things. I think the image he had of heaven was choirboys singing, he’s putting that image into my head of a row of choirboys singing but there he is with his greenhouse, the same person. It's great but it took him a while to understand because it wasn’t what he expected, the image he had of an afterlife was holier somehow, wasn’t so ordinary. I'm asking him if there was anything that was different but he’s saying he’s getting the idea from us, that there’s more to it than that. It's like he’s been playing with the same sort of setup, doing the same things but he’s now beginning to feel that there’s more to it. I think he’s aware of your dad around, he’s giving me the image of the bluebird of happiness and the sunshine above him. He’s been quite content. It's the what-ifs, what if you change? I’m saying to him ‘how would you want to change?’ he’s just saying ‘for the better’ I’m saying ‘what would be better?’ I immediately get an image of an elephant; I wonder if Joan’s around? ‘what would be better is to learn more about what there is to learn’ I think he would like to learn more about this communication, being able to communicate with this world and I think he is getting help but I sense there is a part of him that’s being reluctant to make changes. But it is time, he’s getting a bit tired of digging the same soil, it’s been very lovely but he feels that there is more to it and he’s wanting to understand. The image of a camel has just popped into my head, a beast that stores up a supply of water, sustenance, can be safe in difficult places because it can carry what it needs, it stores. That's a hopeful image, he’s got the reserves in him to do all sorts of things, that’s a confidence to do that, he’s just realising that that’s possible, there are things he can do, ways that he can grow, places he can go to that he hadn’t anticipated, outside of his normal range and experience. It's as if his expectation of what’s possible has held him back from exploring further. It's still a little bit of a disturbing thought to think that you can go to these places and have adventures, venturing out of the familiar routine and landscape and I think he’s become aware that he’s stopped himself from doing that but he’s having some help with that now. Just got the name Freddie. I’m getting an image of Joan, a golden lady, lady with golden hair. I'm feeling that his character and personality gave him a certain reluctance to explore these things and to go outside his comfort zone. It's like an inner battle with him at the moment, he really wanted to speak and express his concerns for breaching his normal constraints. I feel he’s grinning, it’s a good feeling but it wasn’t that easy, a little bit of a battle for him but it’s been stimulated by his contact with us. He just wants you to know that his love is still there, if he goes forward it won’t mean he’s letting go of that, and it won’t mean that he’s not going to be around, he needs to know that himself but he can’t lose his contact with you, with the family, with his past life, he’s not quite ready for that. It's like the sun’s up there and he’s saying sunny days ahead, a feeling of hopefulness. He’s giving me a feeling of him sitting with a tankard of beer, a comfort zone feeling, not wanting to let go of all that yet but a feeling that the time has come but he doesn’t have to let go of it. I'm saying to him in my mind ‘you can go backwards and forwards, you don’t have to totally let go of one thing to flow into another’ he’s with your grandma as well and it’s like he feels slightly alone in all this, it’s his battle or conflict at present. He's just giving me this feeling of a female presence; she feels serene and stable and he’s feeling this urge for change, a sense of difficulty. She’s just there carrying on with all the normal things, keeping everything running smoothly, but he’s wringing his hands and furrowing his brow. It's like Mole in Wind of the Willows when he emerges from underground and sniffs the air and feels spring in the air and feels slightly torn about leaving his home but the urge of the sun above him and the fresh green fields is calling him and he ends up in the new adventure with his friends but his home was calling him back all the time. He’s feeling serener himself now, he’s a lovely man, I feel he’s got it off his chest, back to his normal self now. Just going to ask Joan and Freddie if they are there to help with his education and council. I’m getting an image of an earth worm or a snake. That's interesting as it was the snake that was the temptation in the Garden of Eden with the tree of knowledge, almost like an analogy there for the feeling for him that knowledge is a dangerous thing, going outside your comfort zone is like shaking the foundations of reality, going against the ordained. The taboo on knowledge and enquiry, I'm asking why, now this is interesting because you were talking earlier about the simplicity, of things being easy and it is because the path of knowledge and enquiry leads to transitions, developments, leads to development of the mind and consciousness and has in our history created problems where independently individuals have diverted from the path, from common sense and you need to know that those who are helping you, are helping you towards wholeness and integrity and not leading you on a wild goose chase. These are the temptations of the human mind. Can you trust your spirit guides? Can you trust your human guides? And this is where the individual responsibility comes in, discern the path for each one, each individual path it leads to harmony, wholeness but just as a river changes its course, to re-scape the landscape, to make new inroads, new environments, changes, so that human life can make new turns, new transitions, creating new pathways, new experiences. The Earth has been moulded and modelled over millennia and so the human soul is shaped, moulded and modelled through millennia and the asking of questions and questioning is part of the process of making the changes. You question whether the path you are on is the best path, or the place you are in is the best place or whether the knowledge you have is the full knowledge, correct knowledge and in doing this you create the opening for change, the remodelling of the landscape of your soul. This process continues after death, so don’t be surprised that turmoil in the soul can go on after death but just as in life there’s help and the possibility to make the changes after death, this is also the case. But existential crises that occur in life also occur after death because the soul doesn’t stop in its education, in its experiencing, and the consciousness in an individual soul can choose to resist the questioning and the changes because of the discomfort. Creation is a process involving energetic change, movement from one state to another. This requires will power, false effort, and in the process there can be chaotic fluctuations, instabilities before things settle down. This is the nature of creation and in the emerging consciousness of the process this leads to the arising resistances because the well-worn path, well-worn pattern is easy, is simple, is well tried. The new pattern is unknown yet, subject to fluctuations, subject to instabilities before it settles down. This leads to what some term anguish in the soul, the danger of leaving one state for another but it is an inevitable process. The evolutionary cycle that was setup in the beginning operates at all levels and this is where those who are further along the path, who have seen beyond the limitations of the human mind are able to help and it is in those higher forces and intelligences that you can place your trust. Ask and you will receive’


I felt that it was my grandad on my father’s side who was communicating as the character coming through felt more like him. Also, there was a mention of tunnels which made me think of tunnels he had at the end of his garden used in the war to shelter during air raids. Afterwards I emailed a picture of him to Liz and she confirmed it was quite like him but she saw him older. I thought this was an excellent communication which slowly morphed into what was more like a trance communication and I noticed Liz’s voice change as if she was being controlled. The impression I got was that the communication started coming from my grandad as he was on Earth but as it went on it slowly changed to his higher self or true self with the spiritual wisdom that comes with that. 


‘I had a name just then, Gloria’


Me... ‘We’ve had that before haven’t we?’


‘Not sure, but I’ll say thank you’


‘Just got a Phillip and as I say the name Phillip this is someone known to me, do you know a Phillip?’


Me... ‘I can’t think of one at the moment’


‘I feel this is someone known to me, I know he’s been around before, he’s a very good person, he’s been in our sessions before, I'll ask him if he wants to say anything... He just put in my mind, he wants me to give Paul his love, he was a school friend of his and lived with us for a while. He said he’s been watching both of our spiritual progress. I feel Gloria was connected with him. He's showing me a patterned sleeveless jumper, flower pots and pottery with a smile, taking great pride and joy in the everyday things, the joy and simplicity of normal activities. But something that came through earlier with you was the possibility of being in the two worlds at once, the higher level and the mundane, to have a foot in both worlds, he keeps on with the words biblio or biblia, the bible was very important to him, I think he went to China to sell bibles, he was part of a church that’s very prominent in China. He just says to me tell Paul I love him, I think he wants Paul to know this and he’s looking out for him and he’ll be there for him, as a friend is a friend for life and life beyond. He also wants me to give his love to Susie. He's saying he’s very comfortable with our séances, he came through, it’s not something he would have contemplated when he was alive but he’s felt very comfortable, it’s like he can see the light, he’s giving me a sense of a strong light with you too... Thankyou Phil...’


Liz thanked all the communicators for coming through.


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