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...

...Nick Pettitt

248th Sitting 24/06/2021


We sat in semi-darkness and didn’t use the Mind Mirror EEG.


Liz did the opening prayer as I tuned in.


I was soon controlled and the communication began...


‘All forms of mediumship are valuable, are produced to help the understanding of all who live in your physical world. Those who seek to understand, those who find their pathways directed to mediumship will begin to build up within themselves an understanding, they will create an understanding within themselves based on what they experience, what they experience themselves as mediums and what they experience from the delivery of others, those who too possess what you understand as mediumistic abilities, for the physical world can be seen as something... can be seen as a part of something greater and the medium can be understood as delivering something from that greater world. You as a physical human being have to rely on your own understanding of your world but in your imagination you can build up, you can construct a new world, a world where you see yourself progressing to. You begin to understand the physical world as a starting point, a point where you develop into a character, develop your own beliefs and understandings and as you grow older you shape yourself into a combination of all those experiences, all those beliefs, and as you understand it you then take that understanding into a new world, a new place, something invisible to the physical eyes for as a physical being you have to understand things in a physical way and yet there is so much more. You can feel that there is more but you cannot put it into words, cannot put it into pictures, you have to rely on mediums and those who have developed the ability to travel outside of the body to report back to you, but this is merely interpretation, it is not quite how it is. You too will interpret that what you hear, that what you receive’


‘But there is another way to find out, another way to experience something beyond the physical world. Look at yourself, look at how you live your life in this physical world, see how you react to the situations and events which become a part of your life, see that reaction in a new environment, an environment that is not physical, an environment where feeling... an environment where you have to rely on your feelings to understand. It is not a place, it is not a construction, it is a gathering of minds, a gathering of consciousness, each consciousness has gone through physical lives, many physical lives and reached a point where life continues without the need of a physical world. The physical world is indeed a starting point, but you can move on from that world, you can begin to live as pure consciousness. A new world will develop around you. You have the power within you to create and each moment becomes a new idea, an idea that develops, an idea that is shared as each consciousness produces their own ideas. A picture will form. That picture is a reflection of all that you have become, a combination of all the lives, all the experiences that you have had up to this point and it is compared to the pictures created by other consciousnesses as they gather, as they share their memories and together they create a combined picture representing all of their lives, all their experiences. This picture remains the same until a new idea is developed’


‘Allow your mind to wander, allow your mind to take you out of the physical world and try to understand, try to create this picture for yourself, try to understand what you have become, what you are now and understand how you became what you are. Feel what you are, are you happy with what you are now? What can you do to improve? See yourself from the perspective of others, they too have their own picture and you see their picture too. You are all living your lives in this physical world but you are also living a greater life without your knowledge but you can understand that greater life when you try to understand yourself, when you try to understand what you have become’

 

‘Life is very simple; you do not need to complicate your life. You are receiving information and you are working with that information. You are trying your best to live a life, a positive life, a life that creates for you a pleasing picture. Keep that simplicity in your life. If you allow complications to enter your life that picture will dull, will become something that you do not like, it creates negative feelings within yourself. Live a simple life, be who you are, do not try to be something different for that will complicate your life. Be who you are and allow the way you live your life to change the way you are for the positive’


‘You are all working together as one, you are not competing against one another. Someone else's success is your success. Help one another to be a success and you too will succeed in living a productive but simple life and the picture you create will be a beautiful picture, devoid of confusion, full of love. Follow your dreams, believe in your dreams, be the real you for that is what you have created. Each step provides news opportunities to develop that creation into something more perfect, more loving, more embracing. You are a part of an evolving machine, an important part. Keep that machine in full working order and you are playing your part well, thank you, thank you my dear friend. Please continue with your session this evening. We will continue with our words at the next meeting, goodnight’


Liz... ‘Goodnight friend, God bless you and thank you’


Liz then tuned in...


‘Got a sense of somebody, he’s showing himself in his 50s or 60s, could be a little older, his ears are sticking out slightly, he’s got a flat cap, medium height, his hair feels wispy, grey or white under his cap, well shaven, pinkish face, quite open. He feels a very friendly harmonious personality, someone with a love of gardening, and a love of horses too. A sports jacket, checked tweedy jacket, light coloured clothing, flannel trousers. He's making me feel he has a ticket for something, maybe a ticket for a horse show? Sensing a train, making me feel Devon, I think it’s a mixture of business and a holiday trip. It's something to do with flowers. Don’t know why but I’ve got the name Polperro. Got a sense of movement, feels like I could be on a boat, an open boat, small boat. Connection with flowers and the Scilly Isles’


‘Then Terence Rattigan comes in, that’s an author, something to do with the moon and sun’


‘When I first started, I felt that your grandfather was here but I don’t know which one, don’t know if this gentleman is connected in some way?’


‘I'm getting a sense of muddy boots now, there’s fishing on this holiday. He just seems to be on his own. He’s gone to view something, something to do with a newspaper, an advert, keep coming back to it being property. Taking me back to horses again, race courses, which is something to do with Travis but he doesn’t look like Travis or feel like Travis. Got the word PayPal, wondered if he was visiting a pal or friend? He's either a cousin or a friend, someone connected with the family. He's showing me a situation where he was having a new start in life, an opening or some new venture. I have a refreshing feeling of freedom, taking a new step towards something. He's giving me the feeling the horses are in the stable, everything’s all sorted and tied up, like tying up a few loose ends, it’s a dream of a lifetime. He's giving me a sense of comfrey, something you use with bruising or broken bones, to help with healing, so I'm not sure if he’s telling me he came a cropper. He makes me feel that travelling was part of his job, he had to travel a bit so he was used to making journeys but this was a bit different. He’s reminding me of Dan who sat with us’


‘I'm now feeling the presence of a lady who looked after other ladies, a carer, somebody who looked after elderly ladies. She's an older lady with dark grey wavy hair, a bit formidable, sort of matronly, she’s giving me the feeling of somebody back in the 50s, but she was already old so she’s dressed in older period type dress. I just got the name Mrs Brinkman, that’s a name I remember of somebody who looked after my grandmother. Seems to be very little to be said, just connected me with Sarah’s mother for some reason, but whether it was a grandmother on her side making herself felt. The sense I got was she could be somebody that had been looking after her or in spirit looking after Sarah’s mum. Because of the way she was appearing, quite old fashioned, it made me feel it’s from an earlier period’


‘I've got the sense of your grandfather again, on your mother’s side I think, I feel that was the gentleman with the flat cap. Got a sense of smoking with him. Just asking if there’s anyone who wants to say anything to you and I just get yippee yay yo, sort of cowboy type. Just like I'm feeling the gang are all there but maybe because I'm tired I'm not getting anything very clearly. I'm still feeling this gentleman with the flat cap, with a cigarette in his fingers, it’s almost like he’s got a calculator, something to do with counting, whether he was making a purchase, calculating costs’


‘I think I'm going to say thank you now and leave him on that lovely sense of a holiday, it was almost like something that was planned but got aborted, not sure if that move was made... thank you for making yourselves felt, good night and God bless you’


There are a few things which tie up with my grandad on my mother’s side particularly the love of gardening and flowers but not enough to make me think it was really him. There are also some things that tie up with the lodger who lived with my gran and grandad. He was very keen on fishing and liked being on his own. I can’t remember what happened to him after my grandad died and gran went into a care home but he would have had to find somewhere else to live which would have been a new venture. Maybe the advert in the newspaper was how he found a new property to live? I have a vague memory of either my grandad or the lodger being into horse racing but I can’t be sure and the lady carer isn’t ringing any bells with me. Something that was interesting, and possibly Liz was getting this psychically from me or from my grandad and the lodger who may have been with me at the time, was that I had just purchased a ticket for a revival meeting at Goodwood and I'd payed with PayPal. It is a motor racing meeting but Goodwood is also well known for horse racing and people who go to it usually dress up in old fashioned clothes like what was mentioned in the first paragraph...


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

247th Sitting 17/06/2021


We sat in semi dark conditions and I was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.


Before starting we did an experiment with the Mind Mirror EEG. I spoke normally just making stuff up as Liz asked questions. This was so that Liz could compare the results of me speaking normally against me being controlled.


Liz then did the opening prayer as I tuned in.


I was soon controlled and the communication began...


‘The perfect answer to every question comes from yourself, comes from within. You ask and you receive. Ask yourself and you will receive. There is so much information within yourself that you can feed from, you can use to help you, to guide you through your life. Do not think of yourself as separate, as one. You are many, you are everything, you are immortal. You seep into every part of your world and beyond. Nothing is beyond your reach. All that you do is a reflection of a larger reality. All that you understand, all that you truly understand is locked inside of you but you have the key, you have the ability to find that information within yourself. You do not need to look beyond yourself for you are the beginning, you are the beginning of your life and your life has moved on, has spread, has moved into multiple directions. Allow your mind to wander, allow your mind to understand yourself and the abilities that you have. See your world as a wonderful tool, something you can use to help yourself to develop. Look forward to every day, every situation. No situations are negative, they are all positive, they are all designed especially for you. Rejoice that you are given these opportunities. Do not think that you have failed, do not feel that you have made the wrong choice but rejoice that you have the ability to choose and that ability is growing within yourself. You are beginning to see the reactions of your world to your life, to your way of living. Your world will help you to change yourself, to become something more, to become something more beneficial to others. You share your lives, they too are looking for answers, they too are looking within themselves. You all share the ability to look back at yourself. You always ask questions expecting an answer, try not to expect an answer, try to answer that question yourself. The answer you give is more valuable to your growth, the answer from others is more valuable to their growth’


‘Wake up out of your slumber, become the real person that you have created. Look at yourself in a mirror. You see the physical form but you feel the spirit within, the connection to consciousness. You have just begun your life, your physical life, but your consciousness goes back beyond your thoughts. Keep hold of your memories in this physical world for they have formed you in this physical life, but also remember you are a part of consciousness, an evolving consciousness and you have been a part of that consciousness longer than you can imagine. Each physical lifetime adds its memories, shapes you, changes you, develops you. You are so much more and you are heading towards a new beginning. The physical world is a starting point, make the most of your life and know that you are adding to that greater part of yourself. All life is one life, all consciousness is one consciousness. Consciousness lives, consciousness evolves, you play your part. The world is only a world when you make it into a world. You each have your own world that you have created for yourselves. That world will change as you change and together you will all work as one’


‘How many thoughts does it take to make a world? How many dreams does it take to create a new life, a new adventure? There are no answers for the questions need to be experienced by you and by others before a new answer is created from within. You are creative beings and by creating you are reshaping yourselves, becoming something more, something more valuable, something more productive. Keep asking the questions for they will be answered, but not in the way that you expect. Thank you, thank you my dear friend, please continue with your wonderful experiments. We are always here with you; we are always by your side. We know you can feel us and we know you can hear us. You may try to understand who we are or what we are. That is for you to create and understand in your mind for we cannot tell you. You have the ability within yourself to know who or what it is that speaks, that brings information, that tries to help you. Continue that what you do and the answers will come flooding to you, your understanding will become clear and you will walk with your head held high, knowing that you are part of the solution. All life is valuable, all beings are valuable, they all help, they all help with the evolution of life and consciousness, thank you’


Liz... ‘Thank you friend’


Liz then tuned in...


‘I’ve got the name Cuthbert, Saint Cuthbert. Getting an image and sensation of sand castles, crenulated castle made of sand. I had the feeling that came with Cuthbert of a little boy wanting to put a Union Jack flag on the sand castle. I've got somebody with spectacles, it’s the spectacles that have come first. Feels like an older gentleman just making his presence felt, feels a bit like a head master, slightly stooped with quite a mop of grey hair, leaning over a lectern or a book, feels quite scholarly. Just a knowing he’s put in my mind as if he’s looking at an alchemical, magic text, fancies himself as a wizard, alchemist. He's got a grandfatherly feeling about him, showing himself in that sort of way. He's giving me the feeling of physics, like Sir Isaac Newton, not that he’s that, just gives me the feeling, physic. Feels quite old, wrinkled, got a kindly feeling about him, a feeling of intense curiosity, as if he’s holding up a monocle or lens, trying to look closely at things. Seeing bits of plants and things around. He’s giving me the feeling that he’s travelled the globe, getting a sense of a globe of the world, he held the whole world in his hand, it’s as if he’s saying, the words formed, I travelled a good deal, I want to say to the Americas. Showing me himself in his dotage, feel a velvet gown or velvet chair, colour purple. He comes with a feeling of your old father William, the young man said and your hair has become very white, and yet you incessantly stand on your head, do you think at your age it is right? Giving a sense that age isn’t an obstacle, curiosity and invention and exploration. A sense of incredible patience about scientific endeavour, about chronicling, investigating. Not so much taking measurements as watching, identifying, exploring, seeing what is there, what it is in itself. It's almost as if I'm looking at the constellations, the sky, the stars, so much pattern, so much complexity, wanting to measure and to map. It's that feeling you can look in the distance or you can look very closely, as above so below, the complexity is apparent at all levels. He's giving me the feeling of the mathematical constructs underpinning, but that’s belying the magic. It's the experiencing. Now he’s taking me to that notion as if he’s abandoned the idea of measuring and describing mathematically phenomena, but he wants to gaze into them, just wants to appreciate the enigma, the actual puzzle of the beingness, it’s the awe and the wonder and the magic and for all his astrolabe. There's only one level of measurements, they don’t contain what it is, they describe and define but those definitions bely the experience and that’s the added dimension, the experiential. He's making me feel as an old man, getting that craziness of the sorcerer's apprentice, where you jumble up all these laws and rules and combinations and spells and you throw them into a stew, you play around with them and see what happens and something you didn’t expect emerges. It's breaking up the patterns, we’ve become in love with patterns, with definitions and constructs and physical laws. The truth is something else, it goes beyond, in the mind, in the new explorers. You need to look into the mind, he’s giving me the feeling of going back to being like a child, like the sorcerer's apprentice, it plays. To see the world in a grain of sand, an eternity in an hour. Just making me feel of stirring a pot of porridge and the feeling of I would give anything for a pot of porridge, the taste, the sensation, to experience hunger, appetite. He's giving me the feeling he lived in a sort of ivory tower but there was a sterility about it, like dry crusts of bread that contrast with the pot of fresh porridge. It's like he’s saying I was a crusty old man, in my mind it’s contrasting with a picture I have of a Sufi poet Omah Kian, the astronomer, he doted on the grape, the wine. But this man wasn’t like that at all. Giving me the feeling his hands became like claws, crabs in the sea. Everything was fascinating, the tides. He's giving me the sense of a purse, don’t know if he’s telling me I’m making a purse out of a sow's ear or a sow’s ear out of a purse? Just showing me a purse, a bit like a velvet bag, held together with a tie, a leather throng, a stipend. Keep going back to the word astrolabe, the word significance, significance in all things, meaning in all things, signs in all things. It’s like an overload of interest, trying to make sense of everything. Don’t forget to delight, you can delight even in a frog. Enjoy. He's giving me the image of a pond with the ripples, somebody’s thrown a stone in and it’s taking me to the diamond for some reason. This man feels like the archetype of the scientist’s philosopher, his mind is expanding, so full of measurements and wonder. Keeps coming back to the astrolabe. Use the word divine curiosity. He's got that twinkle in his eye, it’s like he’s saying don’t give up, keep going, it’s an endless path, it’s like a pilgrimage, one small bag carried on a stick, setting off on a journey of exploration. I'm seeing him always with his white hair, not as a young man but monkish... I’ll say thank you to him, Meister Eckhart, Meister, he’s a guide of some sort, a wizard, thank you for your presence, your encouragement and sharing. Cuthbert, thank you...’


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

246th Sitting 25/05/2021


We sat in semi dark conditions and I was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.



Before starting we did an experiment with the Mind Mirror EEG. I spoke normally just making stuff up as Liz asked questions. This was so that Liz could compare the results of me speaking normally against me being controlled.



Liz then did the opening prayer as I tuned in.



I was soon controlled and the communication began...


‘The way you react to one another is governed by your own beliefs. The world itself holds you but you have the freedom to explore. Each alleyway brings to you new situations that you can use to your advantage by feeling your way through that situation, by not letting the negative aspects of that situation guide you. Guide yourself, use that what you have built up within yourself to bring you through the situation and in entering that situation you are becoming something new. You are using that what affects you, that what tests you to your advantage. Do not be afraid, there is nothing to fear. Your soul purpose for living this physical life is to be faced with situations that test you, that give you an opportunity to learn from your reactions. You choose which way you go. Is it you making that choice, or is it your fears making that choice? Try to let your feelings guide you, try to hear that voice within you helping you. Your fears will turn that voice down and your fears will take over. Allow that voice to sing and you can conquer all fear. Allow that voice to become a part of your daily lives, let that voice become your thoughts and let that voice become your guide. You are still the one that makes the choices and that voice is the real you. It is not something that is affected by fear for it can see beyond fear, for it only sees love, it is the love within you, the love that you brought with you and the love you will take with you when you pass from the physical world. It is love that will grow as you live your physical life. There are times when that love seems to disappear from your life. Your mind has wandered and you have attached to the fears that surround you. It is easy to be led by fears but you as a human being have all the love within you to conquer those fears. You have built up a series of habits within your mind, within the way you think, you are thinking the same way. Allow yourself to change, to let go of the habits. See yourself as something more, see each person as something more. You and them are not merely physical bodies living a physical life, you are spirit, you are consciousness, you are all connected and helping one another. There is no need for fighting, no need for misunderstanding because you are all working as one but fears hold you apart, keep you on your own. You see yourself as a single entity fighting against others. Try to see yourself as part of everyone else, not a separate part, joined, one living entity consisting of many parts’


‘Life was born to create, life was born to shape, to bring into existence new life. Words are spoken, words are heard, communication continues throughout your world but life exists beyond words, life is thought, life is feeling. Words cause complications for not enough thought goes into what is said. Do not take words seriously but do take life seriously. When you are life, you are living, you are creating more and as a creator you can do more than just speak words. Turn those words into music, hear those words as harmonious chords, take the sting out of those words, you merely see the music behind those words. How can harmonious music affect you? Harmonious music is what keeps you alive. Put music into the words that you speak, your world will wake up, your world will hear true tunes of life, the sound of living. Music can be felt for music has emotion, has feeling as it communicates to you. You can reply with silence or you can reply with your own tune, adding to that music, adding to that feeling, adding to life’ 


‘Beyond the Earth plane music is recognised for the feeling that it carries. Music on the Earth plane is a reflection of that what exists in the spiritual world. You as a physical human being react to all forms of music depending on your state of mind at that point in time, for you are in tune with life. When that music seems to go out of tune then you have to adjust yourself, to change yourself. You are beginning to learn how to stay in tune with life. Each note is a gift from God. Allow that music to touch your soul and you will feel loved. Thank you, thank you my dear friend, please continue with your experiments this evening, we will return next time with more information that will help you to grow, thank you’


Liz... ‘Thank you friend’


Liz then tuned in...


‘I’ve got an impression of deep velvet and it makes me connect with the music group’


Me... ‘Velvet Underground?’


‘There’s a tall dark haired young man, just above shoulder length with a rather prominent nose, slightly hollow cheek bones, electric guitar, singing to the moon, like the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon... now I see a stringed instrument like a violin, feels like an old one, a sort of school violin. Getting a sense of folk music, everything’s getting darker. Getting a sense of heavy feet, clogs on stone steps and a door with a key hole’ 


‘Underground, Giant’s Causeway, I think I'm with the druids, mapping the skies, Pisces, the Gnostics, they are all connecting up on a giant network, underground. This is the science of vibration we’ve chosen to tune into, it’s a deep art with Pythagoras, the andromedes, division with compasses, courtaines and cadences. Fragilisticeexpialidocious, yes it was Cally, testing the laws of frequency, one over F = T and I told him the reason I was there was to let him know that love has survived. In the laboratory of the mind these things are tested. In the patterning of the stars, in the exact measurements like the Giant’s Causeway, the cadences, the mathematics that underpins life, the evolution of form, and function, functionality, the animal kingdom... as above, so below, the proportions are mirrored in the hologram of life, scaling as in music is fundamental to creation’


‘If it were just a series of Russian dolls, there would be no evolution, there would just be repetition. That’s why there has to be dissonance, so there can be shape change, so the proportions can shift to allow for new form to emerge, new creation, the development, the patterning of the same elements. New design. Modern music reflects the discord, the harmonic scale, to be brought into being, suited to the new revolutionary form’


‘Deep velvet underground, shaken to the depths, the knowing and the not knowing, shifting sands, space odysseys, fantastic images, creations of the mind... It’s the coming of the Christ, the Christos bringing new harmony into being. But the old has to be undone, has to be shaken and to reform and to settle and all will be well within the confines of the plan. Ultimately there is nothing that is not accounted for, what a blessing, a blessing in disguise’


‘Just got Solveig's song from Peet Gynt’


‘Thank you friends...’


At the end Liz got the name Caroline Taylor but neither of us knew who that could be.


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