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...

233rd Sitting 04/02/2021


We had a Zoom sitting.


Liz was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.


Liz started with the opening prayer while I tuned in.


After a few minutes communication began...


‘All forms of understanding come to you through your own filters. You have created for yourself various filters. They help you to better understand your reality as it is presented to you. You have developed a mindset which reacts to information in your own personal way. In doing this you have created a reality for yourself, something in which you feel comfortable, a familiar reality, something which feels fixed in your mind and yet it is something which is so malleable, can be changed by a single thought. The physical world has conditioned you to appreciate all that is given to you in a way that is recognisable to you and yet you can change that, you can see it from a new perspective, you can build on that what you have created and you can change your world. As you live your life you are presented with many situations that give you the opportunity to change those situations by your own choices, choices that come from within you, that what makes you individual. And as you grow that individuality will change, will develop and the choices you make will also change. You are a part of a collective, many minds working together, helping one another or fighting one another. A condition is created by the combining of all those minds working together, working as one. And yet it takes one mind to change the minds of all who work with it, all with whom you are connected. As you work on yourself you are working on others, for they react to you as you react to them. Be an example, be a positive example in your communities. You can create change in your world by changing yourself’ 


‘You have come into this physical world to change yourself. Use that world, use the opportunities presented by that world to change yourself, to become something different and when you pass from your world you will see that change. Changes happen in many ways and you will see in which ways you have changed and in which ways you have stayed the same. Not all change is for the better and you will see this when you look back on yourself once you have passed from the physical world. You will begin to understand why you have gone in the direction you have turned. You will be shown how things could have been different had you made different choices and you will begin to build up an understanding within yourself of the opportunities that you need to bring positive change to yourself. When released from the physical you will feel more free, you will feel more alive and your mind will not be affected by the physical filters that you have created whilst living a physical life. It will be a full mind, a complete mind, fully connected to the larger consciousness with eyes wide open, noticing every though that you have made in a physical world. The life you have led may have been a successful life but there is always room for improvement and you will work with yourself and with the help of others in finding a new life in which to immerse yourself, with the opportunities you need to evolve even more and help your world. And in doing that you are helping all of consciousness for consciousness is forever wanting to evolve’


‘You do not need to wait until you pass to improve yourself, just look back at the end of each day, understand how you have felt. If you have felt full of joy you know you are moving in the correct direction but if you have felt confusion, annoyance, any negative thoughts, then know that you are travelling in the wrong direction but you still have all those opportunities available to you to hold your head up high and face that light. Be positive, see the positivity in all situations. There is no need for negativity for you are light, you are love and you have the ability to create more love within your world. The light will never go out, you may see darkness but that darkness is an illusion in your mind’


‘Your world is reaching a time when many will begin to understand and see the purpose of their life, will understand the purpose of their life. They will inspire others; they will help others and together your world will shine brighter. Everything is in place for a major step forwards, use your understanding to change yourself and others will follow, thank you, thank you my dear friend, please continue with your experiments, we will speak again’


Liz... ‘Thank you friend’


I felt back with it, then Liz tuned in and began to speak after a couple of minutes...


‘I’m feeling your dad is around and I’ve got this sense of silk again, silk stockings, but then it was like sheets of silk, like curtains and he was draping them around me like a turban, he was insulating me, he turned me into an insect in a cocoon. But he was wanting to put a microphone in your hand, he really wants you to find your voice, to speak out’


‘He’s just put a name in my head, Charley. It's reminding me of an uncle Charley I had’


Me... ‘He did have a friend called Charley, going back a bit’


‘The Charley it made me think of lived in a bungalow in Pevensey and they didn’t have children. I'm seeing a spaniel, like a cocker spaniel, golden red. He's giving me a sense of something funny like golf or a putting green, it’s like a golf stick but not large golf more like a putting green. I'm trying to see if Charley is with him in spirit and as I say that I’m seeing a very old man with spectacles, a pipe in his mouth and a sun hat on his head but smaller than your dad. Quite a sweet man, it could be that Charley is still here and near the end and looking out for him’


Me... ‘I’m not sure if he’s alive or not’


‘Getting a sense of fingers and thumbs, hands and toes. The way Charley is dressed it’s almost like he’s in a deck chair and it’s summertime, a white sun hat on his head. I'm feeling he’s in a home. Your dad’s giving me the image of crazy paving’


This is interesting as Charley was a funny and crazy person when I met him in the 70s. I remember he was with me and my dad driving through London and Charley was egging dad on to race a black cab away from the lights which he did and the cab driver was not happy. It seems like Dad was trying to get the word crazy through when he gave Liz a sense of golf, not large golf but more like a putting green which could be crazy golf but Liz didn’t say that, then he did manage to get her to say crazy paving. I only knew Charlie in the 70s and don’t know if he’s still alive but he would be in his 80s or 90s now.


‘I'm asking him what else does he want to communicate and there’s fish in a pond, I don’t know where that’s leading?’


Me... ‘Fish in a pond could be evidential for something else’


‘I’m seeing more than one fish, quite large, flashes of gold and red’


I didn’t tell Liz that Sarah's mum had passed a few days ago. She loved her pond in the garden full of large koi carp some of which were gold and red.


‘Now he’s giving me that image of crenulations of a castle, connecting with his father, your grandparents, their castle house. It's making me feel he’s with them, they are hanging out together’


‘I’m getting the sense of a horse and a horse's tail; it was the horse’s tail I was aware of first. It’s a large horse with a saddle. This horse is standing still and he’s stroking it. I'm feeling this horse is a present for you, he wants you to have this horse. I know it’s Sarah who’s into horses, whether this is for her’


Me... ‘Can you see what colour the horse is?’


‘It’s a chestnut brown’


Me... ‘Can you see any markings on the horse?’


‘I’m feeling there’s a white bit on his forehead but the tail is darker, quite a bushy tail, it had been really well groomed. A lovely horse, lots of love connected to this horse, it’s a good horse, it’s standing quite still and it feels happy, contented, all ready to be ridden, doesn’t mind having a saddle on. There are clouds in the sky, white clouds, he’s giving me the sense of a lovely summer's day’


This is a very good description of Sarah’s horse that she had in the 80s/90s. Sarah’s mum went with Sarah when she showed the horse. Sarah rode and her mum was the groom. It was chestnut with a white blaze from its forehead to its nose. Sarah wrote out some memories of her mum to be read out at her funeral and this was the first memory she wrote. The clouds in the sky could be a metaphor for Sarah’s mum’s passing.


‘He's taking me to Aladdin’s cave, the story of the genie and the lamp, magic. He’s showing me coins. I think this is imagination, the Aladdin's story is the vitalising of the imagination, wish fulfilling, fantasy, that you can conjure up, there are genie's, beings that are at your service, to grant your wishes and this is a magic area. I think he is showing this because to a certain extent for you this might be like a fantasy, a fairy story. He was a magician but, in his shows, of course it was artifice, illusion, but with Aladdin it wasn’t illusion, he got the genie in the lamp to serve him, to manifest his dreams, his requests and I’m feeling he’s bringing me to this because there is in you a doubt of the reality of this possibility of what is known as miracles, manifestation of the inside dreams and wishes into the physical world. So Aladdin wished for wealth, wished for a beautiful woman to be his wife, wished to live in a castle, all those things, dreams, he was a poor man but once he had the lamp, he lit it, he contacted the genie, the being who could manifest these dreams for him in reality, he became wealthy, lived in a castle with a beautiful wife, all his dreams were fulfilled, all by virtue of lighting this lamp. I'm feeling that’s why he has brought me several times to this cave because it’s a different sort of magic from the magic of illusion that he was doing. So, when I ask him why is he showing me this I'm feeling that that is why he’s showing you that he’s now realising the potential of there being greater beings that are working on our behalf to manifest into physical reality by the phenomena or changes that we wish in our situation or in others, healing but other things too, to change the physical world, to create better conditions for ourselves and others. I feel your dad is learning, he’s a dynamo inside, he’s bridging these two worlds but he’s also reaching out into others. He's aware of the many bridges. I think he’s wanting to be a bridge for us and to work with those genies, that’s what he’s calling them’


‘It’s the Chinese connection too, I'm seeing vases, urns. I’m feeling he’s quite drawn to the Chinese wisdom, acupuncture, I think he quite likes that, it’s a pragmatic sort of wisdom’


‘He’s passing something brown over to you to do with study, feels like leather’


This has come up before, it’s a small brown case that I used to take to school and recently found it in my dad’s attic, I don’t think it’s leather but it looks like leather.


‘He wants you to read Confucius... it’s the ordered society, he’s saying life can be a rose garden, well ordered society. He's showing me pillars, the five pillars of wisdom. I wonder if he’s becoming a philosopher, studying philosophy... ha, ha, he’s turning it into something like flufflesy. I think he thought a lot of it was fluff which is taking me to pussy cats, a sense of a white fluffy Persian cat. He's taking me to rivers, a brown river, on the banks’


‘I’m wondering if he has a particular message for you now and he’s put the image of an egg and spoon race in my mind’ 


This is a strong memory of mine and happened when I was about seven at a Butlins Holiday Camp. I entered the egg and spoon race and was determined not to drop the egg but went too slow to win the race. Dad took a picture of me in the race which is in one of the family albums.


‘I think he just wants you to know he’s enjoying joining in with our games, he sees it as fun, it’s not really a competition just a challenge to keep the balance of this rather fragile egg. I guess you could say there’s an analogy there that we are carrying this embryonic gift, something quite precious but delicate, we’re trying to get somewhere with it and we just need to go very mindfully so that we don’t damage it, so that we get where we want to go with it intact and then it can still be eaten and we might win a prize’


‘I’m going to say thank you to him, Michael, it’s nice to know you’re with your mum and dad and other people and enjoying learning and getting the feel for the potential for growth and for bringing that into this physical world’


‘He’s just given me the sense of yellow blossom like mimosa. I turned it into yellow jasmine but he’s specifically said mimosa’


Me... ‘I’ll ask Sarah about that’


I didn’t know what mimosa was but when I asked Sarah, she said that was what we stopped to smell on our walk that morning. Evidently dad was with us on our walk.


When I told Liz about Sarah’s mum afterwards, Liz said she remembered a fleeting feeling of a lady coming forward, not too close but just enough so she could see her and this was just as the sitting was ending. She recalled seeing her as thin with short straight dark hair, in her 50s, not tall but taller than Liz. This is a good description of her as she would have been in her 50s.


Also about a week ago I asked Liz if it would be a good idea for me to ask questions. I was worried if it might cause her to lose the link but Liz thought it would be okay. After this sitting Liz told me that the questions I asked had actually helped and there was no loss of the link. Maybe my dad was encouraging this when at the start Liz felt him wanting to put a microphone in my hand, wanting me to find my voice, to speak out?


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