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...

59th Sitting 17/02/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, turned out the red light and put the music on.

We then did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started out on crazy paving, dancing along it with lots of other people. She then headed for a vast expanse of blue sea water and saw in the distance a galleon. It looked like a ghost ship, only half visible in a mist and it came towards her and lowered the gangplank. Liz walked on and met the captain who seemed familiar; he had white hair and an old fashioned three cornered hat. Liz asked where they were going and he said ‘nowhere in particular, this is just a free floating voyage’ the ship then took off going quiet fast. There were two people either side of Liz and they were all steering together and holding hands. Liz was being told that they would never come to the horizon ahead; it just goes on and on. It was as if in the past they thought the Earth was flat and you’d fall off the edge but now we know it just goes round and round, there’s no falling off it. The scene then transposed into the universe, looking out at all the stars and there were telescopes and instruments everywhere. They told Liz that all these telescopes and instruments were there to try and see beyond the horizon, beyond the boundaries. It was this sense of boundlessness. The important thing was holding hands, keeping this sense of connection, the connectedness of everything, unboundedness. They all then changed into birds and were flying beyond the universe, crossing all these different boundaries, each one leading further. This sense of it going round and round and all being one without edge, without boundaries. The exploring is endless going on and on. When they were birds it was just like they were in this place of rejoicing, rejoicing in this endlessness and spacelessness. Liz saw bird formations that were just pure joy, that was the feeling of this freedom and the message was just look at the horizon and realise the boundlessness of it all. Liz then returned by just thinking herself back…

I started off walking up the aisle of a church. There were Chinese ladies standing each side of me motioning me forwards towards the altar that had a bright light in front of it. I walked into the light and then felt myself moving downwards and into a new scene, a bright colourful fairy land type place full of colourful birds and bright green grass. There were deer running around and I spotted a bright white deer by a tree and walked up to it. I felt I needed to ride it so jumped on its back and we took off along a path of coloured crystals getting faster and faster. We came up to a large pool of water and went straight in and under the water. I found I could breathe okay and soon forgot I was under water. We came up to an entrance to a cave and went in. The walls were bright and golden and we stopped in front of a Buddhist monk sitting alone. I got off the deer and asked him why there was nothing in the cave and he told me to look again. I now saw the walls were full with shelves of books and he told me they were not really there but represented knowledge and information. He told me that knowledge can be found everywhere in everything no matter where you are. He picked up a grain of sand and said there was knowledge in that and went on to say I should also observe how other people perceive things and what they get from it. Everybody has a different way of perceiving things and nobody is really correct. You can learn by understanding how different people perceive in different ways, it’s important to understand their way of thinking. The music was ending and he told me to get back on the deer, close my eyes then open them and I would be back so I did and I was…       

I put the music back on and we continued.

I had a popping in my right ear.
The atmosphere was looking blue and misty to me.
Then it started to look bright and blobby.

Liz got the name… ‘Gifford’

Then she got… ‘Rosicrucian connected with furnace… a feeling of a lot of people and information’

Liz continued…

‘I just got this sense of a canvas, a painting of an onion, perhaps it’s torn or something, sticking plaster on the canvas. I just get a sensation of telephones, messages coming through. I’m just trying to clear my mind… I’ve got this Rosicrucian again… Sheila’s name just came to me and a strong sense of green… a crucifix… green and gold… The picture I had of Sheila she is much younger, I didn’t know her younger, short brown hair… Heyday or Heidi…’

‘I had a feeling, it’s like this green and gold cloth, it’s like an altar, sacrament of peace to these tormented souls, their offering and this golden challis is sacrament of peace… they have a table… I ask Gerry to take the sacrament…’

As Liz finished saying this I saw a light come and go near the ceiling above Liz.
Then the room went very dark.
My arms went cold and fuzzy.

I heard a few clicks and soft whistles to my right but none of them came out on the recording.

Liz continued…

‘Robin, Robin…’

‘I got the name Picasso, maybe that was the artist earlier… Fernando, Ferdinand…’

‘I get this great sense of a tapestry being woven around us, a great tapestry, all these threads being connected, a great information matrix, we need to pull out a clear thread… Robin… I got the feeling Haystack wants to help… pit bull, pit bull terrier… got the image of a fox… I’ve got Dorothy, Dorothy Carron again… Verdant, it’s the green again, verdant pastures… I just got this sense of resurrection, new life, new vitality of the Earth, the green shoots, the importance, the cherishing of maintaining, of nourishing, regenerating new green growth and they want to protect the health, that’s good. It’s the rebirthing; it’s also called the emerald isle…’

‘You have to hold on to the hope, hope is the rope, it will pull us into the future, nearer to the green future’

‘Sadie… I get the number seven… Sadie says she’s seven as well’

‘Deirdre…’

‘Yes I’m just bringing to mind the broken branches… I had a childhood friend Deidre and we used to look at the bushes that had been damaged, the branches broken by boys, other children slashing the trees and Deirdre complained bitterly that the sacrilege of these broken branches was devaluing. I saw how important it was to Deirdre to cherish and to preserve all green things, living green plants, trees, but to desecrate nature was a great tragedy, an insult, she berated these thoughtless children. It’s the mindfulness towards nature, cherishing of the greenness. This seems to be the urge from the side of spirit to activate and rekindle positive regard for nature. To hold on to the hope and the mindless ones will fall behind, the predominant urge is towards growth and the greening and those that fall short of that to mindless savagery just decay, fall away because the thrust is towards the new growth and the greening and the hope that’s pulling us along and upwards and into the new age… so join the growth and leave the prison behind’

‘I see a lot of Fs… someone said to me featherweights… There’s a sense that I get, a sort of strange fight the good fight, the sense of there being an army of helpers poised and ready there to bring the dream into being, to guide, to inspire, to fire the arrow into the future, the great greening of the Earth reality. A body, an army of helpers, diamond… We are all here just waiting, poised… I get a sense of some impending action… The reservoir of energy raining down on the Earth, over the houses, green, flowers… awakening’

The music ended.

Liz felt a bit dizzy for a while.
She had remained aware throughout the session.  
I had drifted off a few times towards the end.

Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing down exercise…

58th Sitting 10/02/2015


The room was set up as usual.
I did the opening prayer at 8.30pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
Then we started with the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise.

Liz found herself on a great expanse of silvery sands and could see her wet footprints disappearing as she walked. The sea was far out and there was a rainbow arching towards her. Liz was draw towards it. It was like a doorway in the sky and she imagined herself towards it where she found invisible stairs that she climbed up into the sky until she got to what looked like a water-shoot going back down so went down that head first towards a light whooshing out onto a great platform of light. There were lots of people there welcoming her. It was a beach and a place Liz recognized with sand hillocks and rocks. There were goats and sheep grazing and lots of people dressed in white but they were only semi-visible, all smiling and waving. Silver was there as well and Liz felt at home. She sat on a tussock and a smiling woman came towards her with blond platted hair and white gown. She asked Liz if she wanted to swim which she did so they both took their clothes off and swam in the sea going under the water. She told Liz ‘you don’t have to worry about breathing, you don’t need to breath here’ She then said ‘you’ve often asked to find this pearl of great price and we’re going to fetch it’ They then went down to the bottom of the sea where there were some pearls. She gave Liz one saying ‘put it in your mouth and swallow it, now the wisdom of the pearl is in you’ They came out of the sea and she said ‘the significance of this is that you now know you have the ability to transit between the two worlds, this is the knowledge, this is the pearl of great price and you can be at home in both worlds, spirit and matter’ The music came to an end and she said ‘you can now just wish yourself back’ and that is what Liz did…

I started off on a snowy slope in the mountains. I had skis on so skied down until the snow began to disappear and I came to a stop on the grass. I took off the skis and then saw my mum standing in front of me who told me she would show me to the bridge. I followed her to a wooden bridge which stretched over to an island. We crossed it to the island which seemed to be raised high above the water level with what looked like roots connecting it to the water. Walking onto the island I noticed my mum was getting fainter, more translucent. She said not to worry about that, she was still here. The island looked like a scene from a fairy tale, lots of weird looking palaces and castles. We made our way to one of the palaces and as we did so everything around me became blue, even the grass. We went through the main gate and into the palace and a room that was filled with people who all looked at me and seemed interested that I was there. Then we went up some stairs and entered another room where I saw three German Shepard dogs that I used to own and they greeted me excitedly. Then I noticed an old lady in a chair and when she looked up I recognised her as my grandmother and also in the room I saw my other grandmother. They told me how pleased they were with the development work we were doing and to keep at it as there’s much more to come and eventually they would be able to communicate at our circles. They went on to say lots of reassuring words then as the music finished I said goodbye and decided to just think myself back to my side…

Again quite a few similarities between our two visualisations including sliding down slopes, translucent people, promise of communication and we’d both imagined ourselves back.

I put the music back on…

Liz got a sudden smell of apples.

I was seeing white wispy bits floating around the room and then bright blobs coming and going in front of me.
Liz saw little needles or elements of light.
I felt tightness in the centre of my forehead.
It seemed to me to now be bright everywhere with flickers round the room.

Liz saw outlines of what looked like walls in the room, upright structures.
She had the sensation of undulating shadowy shapes streaming past.
Then she saw ‘bar codes’ of light and geometrical structures.
I now saw what looked like flickering flames dancing round the room.

We experimented by closing our eyes and found that it dimmed the phenomena but we could still see it.

The recorder picked up a swishing noise…


Then I heard a noise like someone tut-tutting near where the recorder sits but it wasn’t picked up on the recording and Liz didn’t hear it at the time either.

Liz kept getting the name ‘Hodges’

I heard another noise but again nothing was recorded.

Liz was getting very hot.

I heard some clicks to my right but nothing on recording.

Liz was now very cold.

I saw two fleeting flashes either side of where Liz was sitting.

We were both dropping off for periods of time. Afterwards we could only recall hearing some of the tunes on the CD.

Liz was still getting the name ‘Hodges’

A thump came out on the recording. I think this was during a period when we were both out of it.


The music ended.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
  

57th Sitting 03/02/2015


We had the room set-up as normal.
I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm and turned out the red light.

We started with the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise.

‘Liz started off on a shore. It was beautiful hard sand with rocks and pools and Liz didn’t want to leave but she knew that over to her left was an industrial looking metal bridge with a rainbow arched over it. Liz felt that was where she should be so went across a causeway to the bridge. As she crossed the bridge she was met by loads of people walking the other way and a mixture of old fashioned horses and carriages with modern cars and buses, all sorts of traffic streaming towards her. It was like an information highway all streaming in the direction Liz had come from. At the end of the bridge Liz was greeted by two people in white. They said they were her guardians and they were taking her to where she’d asked to go, to the hub, the nexus and the source of all this information. They said in her dreams Liz had asked the questions… ‘who is dreaming?’ and ‘who am I?’  and they were going to take her there. Liz got into a kind of bubble car or space ship with them which took off getting faster and faster until they reached a vortex of energy like a crystal tower, or a crystal palace. They got out the bubble onto a platform and the light was dazzling, even when looking through some dark glasses they gave her. They asked Liz to listen and she heard a high pitched penetrating note which seemed to be going through the whole universe and they told her it was the sound of all information, the fundamental, pure note. It was like a diamond stylus, absolute diamond hardness and crystalline. Liz felt completely empty like she was transparent, they said this was the source of all information through the universe, pure light, everything is in it but it’s absolutely clear like diamond. It was beyond words. Liz wanted to stay there but they told her this was just a taste and took her back in the bubble…

I started off walking through a forest. It seemed to be winter time as the trees were bare and there were crunchy leaves on the ground. I was also aware of deer running around and then a white deer stopped in front of me so I climbed on and it took me out of the forest and onto green grass then down to the edge of a large lake. There was an empty boat in the water  so I climbed into that and with a push from the nose of the deer the boat took me out onto the lake passing through rainbows until I saw it was heading towards an island. I got out onto the island which was more like a dessert island with sand and palm trees. The people there looked like Australian Aborigines and seemed to recognise me saying ‘welcome back’ I told them I didn’t think I had been there before but they assured me I had and went on to explain that although I believe I’m just having a physical life I am actually operating in other realities at the same time but only aware of the physical reality at the moment. As I learn, grow and develop spiritually I will begin to recognise this place a bit more. My attention was then drawn to something in the middle of the island. It appeared to me like a pole with various coloured balls on threads spinning round giving off a bright light. I asked what it was and they told me that I can’t really perceive it as it really is and will put whatever image from my own experience on it until I reach a point in my growth where I can perceive it truly but they did tell me that it was something very important to me. I then returned in the boat following a push from the Aborigines…

Afterwards Liz and I discussed the possibility that we had both been shown the same thing but just perceived it in our own way.

I then put the music back on and we continued the sitting.

It was now looking light and misty in the room to me.
I felt a popping, pressure sensation in my right ear.
Then I saw bright blobs coming and going in front of me.
I felt tickles on my face.

Liz had the sensation of something rushing past her left to right at chin level.

My knees went very cold.

Liz wanted the say ‘geh, geh, geh…’ as in the pronunciation of the letter G.
She then got an image of someone looking through prison bars.

Liz had the feeling she was being swept to one side.
I encouraged her to go with that feeling as long as it feels comfortable.

We were both drifting in and out of it for a while.

Liz started to speak softly and I turned down the music…

‘Sheila, Sheila… Ssssss… Silver, Silver… Silver sent Sheila…’

Me… ‘Does Sheila have a message at all?’

‘She’s crossing the bridges… sending her love… safe, safe now… it is like balloons, a birthday, joyful… say goodbye, it’s not for ever, short time, good… send off, bye bye… was terrified at first… and she says Heather will come through’

Me… ‘Who will?’

‘Heather will come through’

Me… ‘She’s doing very well’

‘There's seven bridges to cross… turning the tables… I feel they’re stabilizing… very… yellow, I got yellow, yippy… Can I hear some music, music on the tape?’

Me… ‘Yes I’ve just turned it down slightly’

‘It’s the pan pipes… waltzing… have the didgeridoo… it’s the breath of the Earth, they got the resonate harmonic of the Earth, they’re talking about it and tuning, synergy… that’s why if you stand bare foot you sense tuning, terrified, there’s a sound, sound, she was terrified, it’s all right now, yeh, how long… not long… you can turn the music up, take it away’

It sounded like Liz had been controlled at times. Some words are soft and unclear on the recording…


After about ten minutes Liz began speaking again…

‘I’ve got a sense that someone would like to take a picture with a camera, it’s like a great assembly of people… It’s like there’s such a lot of people, I just get this image’

Me… ‘What are the people doing?’

‘They’re just rejoicing, they’re just happy, like a large gathering, family, happy feeling, just share kindness, joyous, grateful… It’s so good to be here… They’re very still as if they’re focused, almost like a prayer gathering…’

‘It’s the joy of the gathering, the confluence of many rivers coming together that’s the joy of the gathering. It’s like the many rivers coming together, all the strands, so many people in life we meet sometimes just momentarily, passing by contact and that contact is established. It’s a network and the presence remains and that connected network is established and at some point all those trickles, strands come together and shine, form a great confluence, they come together in awareness, it’s like the many arteries and blood vessels and fibres that make up the eye all coming together to create vision, a great mess but the end result is seeing. We see through the eyes of many, through the eyes of others, all eyes become the one great seeing, individual eyes become the sight, the seeing of the see. A great consciousness of being shared, shared feeling, the one, made of many and the many are one, always the one, the eye and the I, the I am’

The music ended.

I asked Liz if she had anymore words, she said…

‘Terrified dreams, terrified projections and they turn and they all come home to me, I am the source, I am the whole, I am the son’

Liz then did our healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

Liz had drifted off at times during the session and came back feeling very present. At times she was catatonic and felt tingling vibrations going through her.
Her stomach was churning throughout the session. She got very hot and felt she had been partially taken over.

While talking about the session afterwards Liz told me she knew a Sheila and wondered if the communication had been from her. She hadn’t seen her for some time and wasn’t sure if she had passed or not.
Liz phoned someone who knew Sheila the following evening who told her that Sheila had recently passed. Liz gave her my details and below is an email I received after the phone call.

You don’t know me, but I spoke to Liz earlier this evening and she
mentioned you and suggested that I look up ‘Mercury Circle’. Liz introduced
herself and told me that she had got my telephone number from Inga.
Strangely, although I had telephoned Inga, on numerous occasions during the
past few days, there had been no reply, so I had not yet told her that
Sheila had passed.


Liz said that she knew Sheila and asked how she was. I told her that Sheila
had passed last Wednesday morning. Liz told me that Sheila had come
through, during a circle, yesterday evening, but at that time, she had not
known that she had died.


Liz said that you would probably be posting a transcript of the session in
due course. She told me a little of what was said, which I find totally
amazing because, before she died, Sheila had episodes of being terrified
and saying ‘I am terrified’ but she didn’t know why and didn’t think that
she had anything to be terrified of, or about. About two weeks before she
died, she said that she was not terrified anymore and everything was
wonderful. She was hardly present after that.


Obviously, that she was experiencing terror, was very troubling for those
that knew and loved her. It is such a relief to know that it was just a
phase that she passed through and is now at peace, and by the sound of it
has already started working from the other side.


56th Sitting 20/01/2015


We had everything set up as usual this week.
We decided I would turn down the music when Liz began any inspired speaking.

I did the opening prayer at 8.30pm then we did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.

Liz started going down a narrow track lined with bulrushes leading to a full flowing river. There was a stone bridge to her left but she felt she didn’t want to go left and saw another narrow white convex bridge to her right. It was a metal lattice work bridge with an asphalt path over it. Liz started to walk over it and felt lots of children there, one with golden hair and a brown child ran ahead to lead Liz across. She saw a rainbow arching from where she got on the bridge to beyond where she got off. On the other side she saw rolling green fields and pastures with sheep, lambs and goats and there were shepherds and huts. It looked like a nursery rhyme scene. The children led Liz up into the hills, then beyond the hills along a beautiful grassy path. She looked back and saw the river below, it was a beautiful place. Liz felt she could stay there for ages. She then came to a large grassy clearing with old grey stones and a group of adults like druids in white and grey robes in a circle and they invited Liz to join them. It was all to do with ‘feeding the lambs’ and they told Liz that in May there was going to be a great input of energy and we would have some fruition, we will begin to be feeding the lambs then but this is spiritual food. There’s a gathering of druid like priests and a great force of energy being put into the earth and to the spiritual realms and this great input of energy is for the feeding of the lambs. Liz was told we would be participating in that in May. She then glided back on the rainbow…

I started off in the air held up by two white birds with orange beaks. They lowered me down onto a beach of soft orange sand then I walked down to the edge of the water which looked foamy. Opposite me was an island that I wanted to go to but I saw no bridge so decided to create one by visualising a black line running over to the island and this black line then became a bridge that I crossed over. As I did so I realised the bridge was actually a prehistoric animal with a large body, long thin tail and long thin neck and head. I climbed on at the tail and off at the head. The island was sand and palm trees and children were swinging from the trees. I carried on into the island and saw lots of small ponds. The water was still and clear like a mirror and I knelt down beside one to see my reflection but I also saw another face reflected opposite mine looking like a Buddhist monk in an orange gown. I then looked up expecting to see him opposite me but there was no one there. The refection was still there then when I looked up a second time I saw him sitting opposite me smiling. He began to speak about reality and illusion and how not everything is how it seems. He held out his hands saying feel I am real and sure enough I touched them but when he did this a second time I couldn’t touch him and my hands when through his. He went on to talk about how I had been thinking about this sort of thing and that I was on the right track but had a long way to go and had a lot to learn and experience. It was now time to go and the two white birds returned and flew me back up into the sky…

I put the music back on and we continued our session.

I had a pressure popping sensation in my left ear.
It was getting very blobby in front of me and light around my sides.

I felt a sensation of something like an energy move through me from behind and into the centre of the room.
The room was now looking very dark to me.

Liz was suddenly cold round her legs.  

We were both drifting off for a while.
I got a strange vision of a white boat with a giant light bulb on top of it.

Liz got the name ‘Denise Levertov’ a poet, connected with ‘Hannah’

Liz was inspired to speak…

‘I’ve got an image of gold plates, ornamental round gold plates, a bit like the sun, something to do with a ritual. I’ve a feeling these two women were involved in a ritual, I think Hannah was my grandmother. They said something earlier about the birthday boy, lighting a candle for the birthday boy, one candle. These gold plates I think are for the offering, the plates represent an abundance of offerings, I don’t know if the offerings are poems. I’ve got a feather, white feather and that sense of snow again. I see footsteps, behind the footsteps there’s a circuitous route. They’re going back on themselves leading through this terrain. There’s that grey wolf again and this is the shaman path, I see all these creatures…’

‘I’ve got the ginger bread, it’s like the Hansel and Gretel story, like that sweet house, the distraction takes you off the path, sets up a trap, the honey trap. It’s a caution not to be seduced by being very hungry, it’s a comfort, a safe familiar gingerbread house, it’s a honey trap’

‘I’ve got all these amulets, I got very hot, it’s like looking at these beads, these amulets all the paraphernalia of the shamanistic path but looking beyond there’s a deep pool just going towards the mountains, that’s where you should be setting your sights, this deep crystal pool, the clarity, just don’t get caught up with all that ritual and paraphernalia. It’s the pure clear water that’s to drink. I’m just holding onto that image of the crystal clarity, that great pool of water’

‘I can see the light in the candle stick again. I think you can use the light of the candle flame in the same way’

‘I’ve got David. I’m just welcoming David to the lights, to the candles that have been lit there to welcome him. I’m telling him it’s okay, these lights are to welcome him into his new life, that he’s still alive, it’s another vibratory level’

‘I have an image of servants, ready to serve. It’s the plates, the service, it’s the gold plates of the service and it’s the feeding of the lambs. That’s what’s the significance of the gold plates, gold plates is the golden service, the service of the heart of gold to purify that heart, to get to the crystal waters, the cleansing, the purification’

There was a click that came out on the recording.
On this clip at 8 seconds.


‘It’s only a reflection of the master, the master mind behind the gold plates, an image, the signs are everywhere, there are the hints, the tender reminders that a force and power behind the paraphernalia, behind all images, all the imaginings, all the phenomena, all the magic and mystery. The gold plates of service are a simple reminder of the great pure love, the joy, the abundance, the creative spirit’

‘It’s the yearly reminders, the birthdays, that what is born will die, that behind that is the unborn and in that which is born, which dies is also the unborn. The birthday, it’s to remind that behind all phenomena, changing phenomena, is the reality of the unborn, uncreated, that which is the truth and to have a glimpse of it you have to find your way to the crystal water in the high hills and these are the words… Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord and who should stand in his holy place, he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false…’

(Liz was quoting from psalm 24)

‘The years are flying past all at different speeds but they are an illusion, there is no time, all time is one time, all is one. Hannah just wants to remind that the candles of the birthday boy are just to remind of the truth that that which is born dies and that beyond all birth and death is the one, the ineffable, the true light, without name, without form, that which is’

‘It’s Denise Levertov, her book of poems, it’s taste and see and the taste is the drinking of this deep, deep water of life, that crystal water is the water and if you drink this water you drink deeply and never go thirsty again. You have to follow that path into the wilderness through the wild places, the pure places avoiding the honey trap. The austere hills, the mountains where the origin is the waters, untainted, the source, go there and drink’

‘I think I’m being shown there’s a quality to this water, this pathway in this physical reality that registers the essence, this essential truth that allows it to be recorded in the heart, that allows it to be seen more directly, more deeply, to penetrate. It’s an equity of focus that if you get it while you are here it’s lasting, can never be taken away. It’s the opening of the doorway to the never ending stairs…’

The music ended.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

During the healing I had seen the two orange beaked white birds again flying around the room in the energy.

Liz felt many presences with her during the session. She felt like a conduit with a circle around her, a vortex of energy.



55th Sitting 13/01/2015


We had the room set up as normal.

I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm.
Then we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.

Liz started off going through a field of golden flowers to the edge of the sea as she had the feeling she wanted to go on a boat. Reaching the sea she found a ramshackle old wooden pier and saw the boat at the end of the pier by a jetty. The boat was called the Rainbow Bridge and looked like a Spanish galleon. A 15th century Spanish gentleman that Liz recognised greeted her onto the boat and when Liz asked where they were going he said to the Islands of Western Scotland, to Iona. When they were there Liz knew exactly where she was heading towards her monk friend who would be in a prayer cell. There were lots of people and goats there and they said this island was a powerhouse. Liz made a prayer in the prayer cell, a prayer of gratitude that someone had been allowed to die on the island, it was their wish. Then all these spirit people that inhabited it said this has always been a powerhouse for prayer, all the islands are. Liz then wanted to go to the holy Island Arran so they all got in the boat and went there to meet more people and goats. They said you know you don’t really have to come here, these islands are in your heart and these are your powerhouses, they are like hubs, spiritual hubs. The music was ending and Liz then took the boat back to the pier…

I started off on a white sandy beach. It was a large expanse of white sand dotted with large round and flat coloured glass or crystals about a foot in diameter, spaced out every ten feet or so. I walked towards some clear water and was aware of a bridge to my left but I didn’t want to go there so went right instead where I found a bridge that looked like it was made from spider’s web or thin strands of glass glistening in the sun. I started to walk over it and as I walked found myself being thrust up into the sky with each step, higher and higher until the atmosphere was black and I found myself floating in space surrounded by stars and planets. I was also aware of things flying around like space craft or large birds then realised they were dragons. I was feeling a bit helpless now so motioned one of the dragons to me, hopped on its back and asked if it would take me somewhere interesting. We flew off and the dragon started doing somersaults, loop the loops and flying upside down as if to impress on me that there was no up or down in space. Then we headed towards a blue planet which I recognised as one I’ve seen in meditations. When we landed it was all rocks and mountains but there was also an Indian feel as I saw Indian type buildings and palaces also men with turbans and long white robes. I walked up some marble steps into one of the palaces and entered a large empty room that had pictures on all the walls. I tried to see what the pictures were but couldn’t see them clearly and the music was now ending so I finished the exercise still in the palace…

We then continued the session…

I had pressure on my forehead.
I could sense light behind me slowly coming round each side.
My forehead was now cold; the rest of me was warm.
My right leg and right arm then went cold.
I saw blobs in front of me.

Liz was aware of an intense black spot, like a button, with a light background in front of her.
Then it disappeared.
She saw flickering cotton wool type shapes.
Then it looked like cirrus clouds or platted rope.

My right leg went very fuzzy and I felt some light touches on it.

Liz now saw what looked like a hammock going across the room side to side.
She said the room looked light at the top and dark at the bottom.

Both my legs now felt fuzzy.

Liz had the impression of vertical string.

We both started drifting in and out of it.

My left arm was cold and fuzzy and it felt like my chair was shaking slightly.
I felt a cool breeze on my face.

Liz began inspired speaking and at first it sounded like some of the words came from her left which is close to the recorder but listening to the recording afterwards didn’t confirm this.
I also thought I heard a noise like wind chimes to my right but again nothing came out on the recording. We do have wind chimes in the room but they are above us.

Liz continued…

‘Cold, cold…’

Afterwards Liz said that she had noticed a sudden temperature drop just before she started speaking.

‘I have the impression of the name Fred…’

‘Scarab… I have an image of a large glass water jug… Pharaoh… I seem to have a large man with headdress… something black and white, don’t know if it’s a snake… hass… just got this shining membrane like your bridge made of spider’s web, spider web membrane, it’s like silk, it’s used for healing… Large stone slabs, I keep getting the Temple of Asclepius, Asclepius it’s the healing… the jug of water… herd of horses…’

‘Patrice…’

‘Tinder box…’

‘Mary Ann wanted to say something about putting the washing out…’

The music ended.

Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

54th Sitting 06/01/2015


We had the room set up as usual except we now have the magnetometer sensor in the room connected to a lead that runs under the door and to the computer outside. This was done following advice given in the last Mercury Light Circle 18/12/2014.

At 8.30pm I did the opening prayer, turned out the red light and put on the seven minute tune we use for our Rainbow Bridge Exercise which we did next.

Liz found herself paddling in the lapping waves of a silvery sea. She felt she was at a group of islands with a rainbow over them, very peaceful. To her right was a white latticed wooden bridge going from island to island. She saw the silver sea between the rungs as she made her way to an island she felt she knew. There were women with kimonos passing by, almost semi-visible but it wasn’t them that Liz was going to see, she knew it was a man and a donkey in a hut and she found him sitting outside the hut with a hat on smoking a pipe. He motioned Liz to sit on a barrel next to him. Liz knew him as one of her spirit friends called Silver. He was gazing at the sea and was very friendly and warm taking Liz’s hand. He told her that everything that was to be seen was here and he was quite happy being on his own there because he could study everything. Suddenly white bridges were everywhere criss-crossing the islands. He said he watched as people came from all different directions, they were all coming to the same place and there had to be people like him there to greet them. He looked at the patterns in the sky said all the mystery was there in the patterns ever-changing, always things to learn. Then he drew Liz’s attention to the donkey which felt very real, the warmth of its fur, at his side, his friend. He took Liz along the shore showing her turtles and black and white birds. There were all creatures there and these were also to be studied and seen. It was all to do with the mystery of creation, it was all there. He had paints and an easel and also a flute. All these creative things could be weaved into paint. He was also making a three dimensional sculpture out of wires, an intricate knot of all these different ways coming together. He was very creative but sat there being very patient waiting for the inspiration, and the inspiration was all there. When it was time to go he told Liz she was always welcome to come back and would always find her way there…

I started off in a cave and there seemed to be lots of dangling crystals on threads everywhere. I then came out of the cave onto a sandy beach. The sand felt warm and soft and my attention was drawn to it being silver in colour. There were lots of seagulls everywhere and the sea was lapping against the shore. To my left was a narrow white wooden bridge leading to an island. I started to cross and met an old lady half way across then followed her to the island which seemed to be inhabited by elderly people. One was in a rocking chair, one was knitting and they all were busy doing things. I walked further onto the island and saw more seagulls silhouetted against the bright sky and came to a large structure like a light house with a spiral staircase around the outside. I climbed up to the top and heard a voice saying look at the people now. Finding some binoculars I took a look and saw they were all now children playing old fashioned games like hopscotch and marbles. I got the impression they were telling me they could show themselves at any age they wanted as it didn’t matter there. After a while two seagulls flew down, lifted me up by the arms and flew me back to the silver sand…

Once again there were quite a few similarities between both our experiences and interesting that I picked up Silver.

It was starting to look light and misty in the room now to me.
My head was spinning.

Liz got a sudden twinge feeling in her sinuses. Top of her nose left side.

I got the feeling there was light behind me moving round from each side. 
I saw a few wispy movements in front of me.
Then it became wavy, a bit like flames, blue and white.

Liz saw a V shape in front of her, a bit like looking at a feather.

I could see wavy movement each side of me which seemed to be forming into a V.

Liz was getting feelings in her sinuses again.

It now looked light all over to me and there seemed to be wispy movements all over, a bit like looking at net curtains blowing in the wind.

Liz got the number 144.

My arms were cold and tingly.
Then my legs went cold.

Liz got the sensation of a bright white light beaming down towards her from the top of the door.

I felt a tickle on my left foot.

Liz thought the room had become very dark suddenly.
She was cold.

I got an image of a cloths basket and peg bag. I was giving it to someone.
I was very cold around the legs again.

Liz got an image of a little red light flashing, like an alarm clock. (this tied up with a dream she had later that night and confirmed something for Liz)
She then felt a pulling from her left ear and a strong smell of ectoplasm.

I felt several light fuzzy touches on the back of my right leg.
My arms were cold.
I had a pressure on my forehead.

Liz felt she had someone with her who wanted to get through a message.
She spoke quietly and some of the words didn’t pick up on the recording…

‘Lone Wolf… it’s cold… cavernous dark, difficult to get through… tiger stone, tiger eye… I got these men dressed in skins with sledges… bricks… it’s very soft, soft and severity, contrast… the eye of the tiger is the softness and severity… to survive in this world you need the strength and severity of the tiger, this eye close to the track and trail, the soft belly, the softness to procreate, to bond, to befriend, to love… Tracks in the snow almost obliterated, tread lightly…’

Then Liz got the phrase… ‘I work with dolphins’
This made her think about a man she knew who had committed suicide and she then got a link to another person she knew and felt they had brought this man into the circle to help release him from an earth bound condition.

Liz heard a lot of clicking in her ear.

The music ended.

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

During the healing I had a vision of a hole appearing in the centre of the room getting bigger and bigger like a huge crystal cavern and we were sitting on a ledge around it. Inside I saw dragons breathing golden fire… 

53rd Sitting 09/12/2014


We had the room set up as normal.

I did the opening prayer at 8.30pm, turned out the red light and put the music on.

We started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise and then reported our experiences.

Liz started out going down a lane with dense holly and red berries each side. She followed the lane and came to the bank of a stream in a deep gorge which then came out into a rocky, sandy bay. Liz could see a series of islands connected by a white bridge and she wanted to get there so got a boat and paddled over to an island and then climbed onto the bridge. Ahead were clouds and mist and as she walked across the bridge the mist closed in behind her until she couldn’t see anything. Liz didn’t feel scared, just excited by the adventure and kept going. She started to see rainbows in the mist and a golden glow ahead and eventually came out into the light where it looked like a meadow with harebells and buttercups. Liz saw a shepherdess there with sheep who led her towards a farm where there was a hermit’s cell made of brick. She said a holy man lived there and then Liz saw standing in front of it was like the master dressed in white with a crook. Liz knew this was Jesus and he said he was the Christos. Liz looked into his eyes and felt it was like herself and he said… ‘You’re all me, you’re all the Christos. Your purpose here on Earth is to feed my sheep, look after my lambs, that’s what you are here for’ He took Liz inside and poured her this golden tea, camomile or golden saffron. He said this is what you should drink. Liz felt it was a cleansing drink and would be good for her. He urged Liz to identify with him and to look after the lambs and sheep which was all that was needed and required and he would always be with her. It was then time to come back so he sent Liz on her way…

I started off inside some sort of stationary carriage, climbed out onto a rocky ground and walked down to a river. Everything looked bright, white and colourless. I found a bridge and walked onto it finding it hard to keep my balance as it was a rope bridge and kept swinging side to side but it became more solid and easier to walk on as I made my way across it. In the distance I saw what looked like half a giant bubble with rainbows all over it. There didn’t seem to be any way in so I just pushed myself into it. Inside it was like a very colourful jungle, the sky was red and orange and there were multi coloured birds in the trees. Lions and tigers were wandering around but posed no threat and I eventually came to a clearing where there was a tribe of very black skinned people. Some were playing some sort of board game on the floor, rolling dice and it looked like electric sparks and flashes were coming off the board as they did this. I watched for a while then they invited me to roll the dice saying I would get a message from the board so I did and saw some words flash up as the dice hit the board. The message was… ‘Live each day in the moment, don’t worry too much about the future, don’t look into the past too much just stay in the present, that’s the best way to be, allow life to unfold naturally’ After that we all had a bowl of what looked like soup but it tasted of tropical fruits. They then handed round a pipe and when it was time to go asked what animal I’d like to go back on and I chose a giraffe…

Interestingly we both got messages this week followed by being offered a drink.

I then put the music back on.

It was looking lighter and misty to me.
Liz thought the room was filling with silvery light.
I sensed it lighter to my right while Liz sensed it lighter to her right.

The atmosphere was looking wavy with a few wispy white bits swirling around to me.
Then it became dark on my left and I felt pressure on my forehead.  

We both had trouble keeping our eyes open.

I got a few words in my head…

‘A selection of paintings will be displayed tonight each one representing a different pathway to a greater understanding’

As I said it Liz got a picture of a golden haystack.
Then I saw a pyramid of red and green apples.

Liz was drifting off.

Liz got a picture of a golden harp.
Then I got a picture of a wicker basket filled with leaves and acorns.
Liz got a picture of red roses, loads of them in bloom.

I felt a tickle down the right side of my face.
My arms went suddenly cold.

Liz felt cold all over.
I felt something in my right ear.

I drifted off for a while and came back with a vague memory of a couple of dreams…

I had seen a wall with a line of books along the top of it. I knew that these were books that Liz had written and they were displayed at different heights. There was a reason for this but I couldn’t recall what it was. Also I was scoring a line along the bottom of the wall. I’m sure there was more to this dream but I couldn’t remember what.
I also had a dream about a line of faces carved in a rock face. As I looked at them they became real and animated.

Meanwhile Liz was being inspired and began speaking…

‘I see the grey wolf again, the skein and the Golden Fleece, the thread chasing after it… it’s joyous… This is Mother Earth and the golden skein from the Golden Fleece, the wool is the thread, the consciousness that’s holding all the interludes, all phenomena together, these great spaces, the seven hills… Over the hills is the golden city of Jerusalem… The grey wolf seems to have become a grey clothed monk, a monk with a grey cloak’

‘I get a sense that the seven hills are not just temporal epochs but they’re also stations within the body, within the physical being… And Jerusalem has something to do with where we are now and that’s the Christos, that’s the epoch’

‘Ha, ha, I’ve got all these sheep with wagging tails…’

‘I got this image of an amazing honeycomb, it’s like a bee hive with all the cells interconnected, it’s golden again, golden honeycomb. All the cells interconnecting a community, an incredible hive of activity that community interconnectedness, again that’s related to the skein, golden thread which is the complexity of the weaving, that is your basket’

‘This honeycomb, each cell contains a little unit of consciousness, a little unit of life but they’re all interconnected and the whole functions as one great universal consciousness and when the walls are broken down there is just the honey, the golden honey and that’s the ambrosia, that’s the nectar for the gods… that’s the clear golden liquid, that’s our food, it’s the pure golden essence of consciousness reflecting the sunlight, the Christos, that’s our rightful food, that’s our rightful sustenance’

‘That’s the significance of feed my sheep, is the food, is this essential, the gold of consciousness, the Christ consciousness, is that essence and that source to be fed to each unit, each unit of consciousness, individual consciousness and that will help each to grow to its rightful place in the kingdom, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of heaven is the kingdom of heaven on Earth’

‘Now I come back to the roses that are growing in the garden in abundance even though it’s winter, these are the heart roses’

‘I have this image of the golden crown… I’ve been given a cloak, purple and it’s being placed around my shoulders, it’s a taste…’

‘I feel that what has been said is that we are all the rightful heirs to the kingdom but to claim that throne there is a lonely journey in the mist where all signposts are lost in the sign-less land, great vast steps and the seven hills and to lead into the unknown, to be prepared, to perceive in the face of not knowing, in the blizzard, you’re coming through, this journey into light but to retain the kingdom requires breaking down the walls of the familiar, letting go, stepping into the unknown. It’s an act of courage but the golden skein, the golden thread, that thread of consciousness carries you through and leads you to the light, to Jerusalem, to the kingdom, to your throne and the crown… I have this final image of the rose with thorns, that the journey is not without thorns…’

Music ended.

Liz was now feeling warm.

Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

As always the healing energies felt strong, I could see the room lighting up while Liz could feel the light in the room…
