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...

91st Sitting 27/01/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We started with the Rainbow Bridge Visualisation…

Liz found herself walking through marshy waterlogged grassland towards what looked like a stony river with water rushing through it from a waterfall. Liz decided to make it a smooth river so it was easier to cross and on the other side found a vast stretch of sand and dunes going down to the sea in the distance. It had a wonderful sense of space. Then coming towards her Liz saw a young man with dark hair and beard carrying a coracle boat. He asked Liz if she wanted to go out in the boat with him and she did so they went out to sea. He put up a sail which looked like a large plastic fertiliser bag and then turned into a proper sail. Liz felt very secure in this boat; it was like a round tub bobbing on the sea. He asked Liz where did she want to go and she thought at first France and then the Islands somewhere but they didn’t seem to be going anywhere just this sense of endlessness, incredibly peaceful. It became dark and the stars were brilliant. Liz wanted to get closer to them and a rope ladder appeared which she started to climb but then realised she didn’t need it, she could just fly to the stars. She felt like there were three or four people holding her as she sailed upwards. It was an adventure, a journey and she wasn’t quite sure where it was going just this sense of mystery, magic and ascension…

I started off visualizing myself walking in a place I regularly walk. There were horses to my left and then I crossed a bridge and turned left. I decided to just watch myself turn left and disappear into the distance while I as another part of myself carried on walking straight ahead which I found very hard to do. It was as if I was stuck and each time I tried to move forward I sprang back like I was on an elastic band. I asked a tree if it could help me and it suggested I just focus on something in the distance and I’ll be there. There was another tree ahead of me which I focused on and then found myself there. I then saw an old white house in the distance and again got there by focusing on it. I was on the roof of the house feeling I wanted to meet somebody when I saw a busy city in the distance so got myself there. People were walking hurriedly in all directions, not stopping, looking like a blur. Then I spotted an old man sitting across the street and joined him there. He looked up at me with kind eyes and told me he couldn’t understand why everybody was always on the move as they were missing everything, their attention was always focused on where they were going and they were missing the passing scenery. I thought this was like what I had been doing. He went on to explain how important it was in life to take in everything you experience and not to keep your attention focused on just the end of each journey…

I put the music back on and we resumed the session…

I soon started seeing moving bright blobs and mists in the room.
It looked lighter to my left.
The room then went a bluish colour.

Liz began to speak…

‘I’ve got golden fleeces… sheep… I seem to be by the church where Sheila had her funeral… these woolly fleeces, it’s something to do with Sheila and feeding the lambs. There’s a spinning wheel, spinning a yarn, a shaggy sheep’s story, tails of light, spinning a yarn and weaving a golden fleece to make a garment of light’

‘Semaphore, sign language, tell it as it is, tell the truth… and that’s sign language, a semaphore’

‘Got the name Christabel’

‘I have pearly gates… I wanted to ask for a clearer indication from someone of what happens when you die to those we love. Where are they now, what happens… The answer is just the difficulty of telling… of semaphore, of signs, but Sheila is referring to the shaggy sheep stories, the pearly gates… Pearl seems to be important; it’s like a nugget of light. It’s as if I’ve woken up on the inside of a cave or cavern but I find there’s a whole world, a whole reality going on. Inside is like a step from the outside but now I’m contained on the inside’

‘A woman with long grey hair, she says her name is Catherine, she’s reminding me of a lady who taught at school’

‘I have a sense of being shown basket weaving; feeding the foxes, but there’s just things to do, creative crafts… A sense of these lovely peaceful ladies serenely busy but in a delightful and creative way, making things, spinning of golden fleeces, working with pearl’

‘I get the feeling the world we create inside becomes our new world when this outside has fallen away. The importance of practising what we delight in… choirs and music, see those strange pictures of angels with harps of gold and pearly gates, it’s the semaphore, images brought to the outside of things in the inside, the music… footsteps in the sand, the colours’  

‘Sheila brought me to that church again and I don’t know if we should have Fred on our healing list… Silver… I get the feeling when you have gone beyond it is very difficult to convey what it’s like. I keep asking for more information, Silver is here… like silver shells and cockle shells’

‘I have a sense of sitting in a meditation circle of people, this silver light pouring down into this clearing and a sense of this incredible energy, magic. These are the holy situations that are difficult to convey because you have to be there. It’s the being there, being there and nowhere else, being there and everywhere. Being where you are, very different from the confusion and mental state we are in on the physical Earth, daily routines and thoughts, so much purer. It’s as if we’ve taken off our head a clamp, headphones that are pouring out chatter and instructions all the time. Suddenly take it off and just drink in perfect peace, presence. Stepping out of a noisy market or theatre into the brilliant light of the sun and the tranquillity of the fields, of the sea, that can’t describe it’

‘I keep coming back to an image of a bubble, it’s like the difference between seeing a bubble from the outside and then suddenly being the bubble inside, experiencing it from the inside’

‘I just get that image of the walls and fences falling away. It’s like a wind just passing over them and they’re just falling away’

‘Caroline, Caroline was going to do something, some sketches, caught up in something else, curtains, curtailed intention’

The music ended.

‘Silver says there will be satisfaction, Satisfaction and that’s the note to end on’

Liz still had the lady with the long grey hair with her, she was saying goodbye and Liz felt sad to see her go.

Once back with it Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

(Two days after this sitting we noticed that it was held one year to the day of Sheila's passing)

90th Sitting 20/01/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We started with the Rainbow Bridge visualisation…

Liz started off on round blue stepping stones in a spiral that seemed to be going through a water garden where there was a stone fountain. Liz tried to see rainbows in it but then realised she was looking for something beyond that, she wanted to go further. Liz could see some large stretches of water gleaming and made her way over a beautiful wide plaza of flagstones and at the edge it was like a Roman bath. There were steps down to a shallow pool with water lilies. The water was warm and Liz walked into it then swam on her back, it was very peaceful. There were white marble statues of men and women but with flowers. There was one enormous rose with nymphs and fairies. It was about the male and female and as Liz looked at the statue of this flower opening in the centre she could see the sticky pad on the carpel and the stamens and pollen, these sexual organs of the flower, male and female. Liz wanted to go beyond that, she felt this was like an entrapment. She saw that the pool came to the edge of the sea where there were rocks. Liz felt safe in the pool and the sea was getting choppy but she still wanted to go out in it as it was leading her towards the beyond. She started swimming in the sea and sensed a large hand descending from the sky towards her. She was aware of five fingers and asked ‘what is the significance of the number five’ It made her think of finger exercises and practicing on the piano and then she thought of the five planets that are going to be visible just before dawn for the next week. She was told there was always significance in everything. Liz wanted to know what the meaning was and she felt that we are still at a very elemental stage when she was told practicing was important. She asked what we were supposed to be practicing and the answer that came back was love…

I slowly became aware of a huge brick wall in front of me. It went on as far as I could see and I couldn’t see the top but there was a wooden door in the wall which I decided to go through. When I opened it I saw it was pitch black the other side and was unsure whether to go through or not but I wanted to go in and realised it was just fear stopping me so went through and the door shut behind me. I was now in total darkness and had the feeling I was floating upwards. Slowly I started to see vague outlines of shapes as it began to get light. A huge hand appeared and lifted me up and onto the back of what looked like a manta ray but it was flying like a bird. We flew through the air and I began to see more as it got lighter and lighter. There were green fields below us and then we flew over a mountain and swooped down again. I saw something bright shining like a star on the ground and as I thought about it the manta ray landed so I could get off and walk towards it. It was like a huge diamond about three metres across and as I looked into it I saw my face reflected and then saw many more faces inside. I touched it and it wobbled like a jelly but then the music stopped bringing an end to my visualisation…

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

Liz decided this week to just relax completely and see what came through to her.

The room soon started to look blobby and lighter to me.
I saw movement of shapes around my peripheral vision.

I felt a pressure on my right ear.

Liz remained very quiet.

After about 40 minutes Liz announced she had a sense of a cloud full of people.

She then got the words… ‘Radio silence’

Just as the music was ending she said…

‘It’s like a sort of ark’

Liz had been shown writing like text in a book several times during the session and felt she had to repeat what she saw but couldn’t bring it back. It was like a dream quickly fading away. She felt she had a lot of people with her and saw people running towards her including two black ladies.

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

89th Sitting 12/01/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started off walking through a marshy meadow land. There were lots of rivulets around her and white birds, egrets. The water was rushing past and draining into a large area of shining water that Liz was drawn towards. Suddenly a beautiful ship appeared, wooden with masts but white and gleaming like a heavenly ship. There were steps going up and a man dressed in white welcomed Liz onto the ship. It was a warm welcome and she felt she was a guest of honour as she climbed on. The ship moved off and there was a Napoleonic seaman walking about the deck with a wooden leg who took Liz to the rails and let her look through a long brass telescope and she saw land in the distance. It was an island with palm trees and sand, a thick forest and mountains with volcanos. They came to the shore and the white man and Liz got off and turned into birds, then they were flowing, they didn’t have shapes anymore and then became more like dragons and flew to the volcano. It was like fire inside and Liz knew that these were all the elements, the fire here, the earth, the wood from the trees, water surrounding the island and the air, all the elements there. A person then appeared looking like a Native Indian with one feather in his hair. He was like a guardian on this site and it was as if he said the Earth was angry but Liz knew that wasn’t right, the Earth wouldn’t be angry but it was renewing itself, it was trying to restore itself. It had had enough devastation and Liz felt there was going to be a shake-up. The Earth belonged to these original people and this man said he was one of them. The Earth had been given to them and to be in tune with the Earth you had to understand it…

My visualisation took a long time to get going, I couldn’t really see or focus on anything clearly. I kept seeing vague images like the Statue of Liberty, hands coming and going, birds flying around and then I saw a lady pushing a pram. She was Victorian looking and I tried to follow her but she disappeared out the side of my vision. I then realised I was looking through frosted glass which explained why everything was so vague and unclear. I saw the magician Tommy Cooper who was trying to speak to me. I couldn’t hear him but got the impression he wanted me to say ‘Abracadabra’ so I did and then found myself on his side of the glass and the whole scene looked much clearer, brighter and more colourful. I asked Tommy where I was and he joked that he didn’t know, where would I like to be? Then he told me this is where I will be when the time is right. I decided to explore this place and wanted to get some information. As soon as I thought that I saw shelves of books and Tommy told me that books were how I interpreted information but information is really what we experience and it’s personal to each individual. Books are other people’s experiences; it’s like getting it second hand. Only by getting you own experiences will you build up information. He then told me I had to go back now as my focus was in the physical world at the moment and that’s where I needed to be but I could still come back for brief visits. Eventually I would understand that the greater part of me is already on his side…

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

The room began to look lighter and misty to me.
I kept getting the feeling I was sitting at the back of a church looking up the aisle.

Liz began to speak…

‘Had a rather amicable man smoking a pipe and the word Dundee… it’s as if this man was in the sea… he seems to have sandy coloured hair’

‘Keep coming back to two sisters… got the name Diligence’

Liz was getting very hot.

She continued…

‘I seem to have a lady and a man, Victorian… Uncle Frederick, Freddie… just aware of one pointing a walking stick, it’s actually like a magic wand with a star on it’

‘Seem to be wrapping something up, more like in a basket, like a florist, maybe a basket worker, long reeds or stems… just reminded me of the baby in the bulrushes’

‘Everybody’s war, everybody’s window on the world, everybody’s looking out of the window and there’s like silver tea spoons. I’ve got the feeling of somebody saying we’re all in it together’

‘Badger, a picture like Badger in Wind in the Willows’

‘I’ve got this star, like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, like the magic wand. The star, somebody’s waving it, it looks like fireworks, sparklers… A word like crazy, crazy paving, crazy Jane, crazy’

‘Somebody wanted to be serious but the seriousness formed a ridiculous image like a giraffe’s head and mouth, long neck with a funny expression a bit like a camel’s face, a funny serious, like somebody would say seriously though, seriously though you reap what you sow. It goes back to everybody’s war, we’re all in it together but if you want out you have to look to the star, it’s where your aspirations are’

‘I see it’s the Freddie Mercury star, there’s a lot of forgiveness there, there has to be a lightness of being, can’t be too serious all the time…’

‘I see these deep wells, wells of degradation but actually you can see the star shining in the water there and as you look down into the well there’s that water in the bottom and if you can catch the gleam of light it’s a reflection of the star that can pull you out of the well, call it the well of despondency. Star light… Well as in I wish you well, farewell, I have the story of the three wells… well, well, well. Fair weather may follow you and follow your star’

‘The spiral stairway, these old boots launching off it, going up and up and up breaking out through the hatch at the top into the light. It’s like a light house and the lamp is at the top. Know the way; it’s like a cork screw’

‘Seven… seven cities, seven levels, seven times seven... I get the words take me home, home is the tower, it’s like a seagull in flight, soring, free of gravity, light…’

‘I’m going nowhere and where I always am, I’m here, I haven’t left, I’m home, I was lost and now I’m found’

‘Furlong is a mile in any language but what yard stick can I use when everywhere is everywhere and here. No measuring tool, all places are one place which is here. I sowed the golden grain so we can all reap the harvest. Love in a mist, that’s my flower’

The music ended.

I asked Liz if she had any more to say and she said…

‘Nothing but a jar of pickled herrings’

Liz still felt several people about… Bernadette, a nun in a deep blue robe and she sensed her dad around, it was just a feeling he was there.

Once Liz was back with it she did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing down exercise.

I had fallen asleep a few times during the session.
Liz thought she might have dropped off once but remained mostly awake throughout. 

88th Sitting 05/01/2016


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…

Liz started off on stepping stones covered in moss by a waterfall and stream. She followed the stream which ran through a meadow and then a corn field. She was amongst all the beautiful golden corn looking up at the clouds in the blue sky and there was a wonderful sense of happiness in this scene. She saw the water course running through and into the sea where white waves were breaking and rainbows covered the sea. Liz carried on down to the sea and found a boat which she got into but the sea was too rough, she needed it to be calm so she could row out in it. She then made it calm like a deep blue mirror; she could see the fish swimming and the reflection of the clouds and sky. She felt she wanted to be with all this so swam down under the sea and then found herself swimming on her back looking up at the sky, a wonderful sense of ease. Then a hand came down from out of the clouds and plucked up what to Liz appeared to be a little Liz and she was watching all this. This little Liz was held by this hand and taken up into the clouds. There was a wonderful feeling of this presence, of being there in this medium of air and water and cloud. Suddenly coming towards her Liz saw a figure looking like Tom Campbell dressed as Father Christmas. He said… ‘Do you want to see what Christmas presents really are?’ Liz said ‘yes’ as they were racing through the air on a sleigh. He said the presents are the present as in the here and now. He took Liz to a snowy landscape where it was Christmas and the birthing of the Christ, the Christ child and the star. The sky was now starry and the angels were singing. He said that the gold, frankincense and myrrh are the real presents; these are resins from the Earth, all the presents that you need you will get from the Earth and by being present on the Earth you have presence and the birthing of the Christ child was the birthing of presence. For children it’s the magic not the presents in boxes, it’s the magic of presence, being in the Earth with all these elementals, beings and creatures of this manifestation, of nature…

I was aware of a flower slowly opening up from a bud changing from green to bright yellow then I realised that I was a bee and once the flower was fully open I dived in amongst all the stamen and pollen and felt I was becoming one with the flower. I wanted to stay there and kept hearing the flower thanking me for being there. Then I looked up and saw the sun in a clear blue sky and felt the goodness beaming down into this flower. I decided I wanted to visit the sun and took off towards it. When I got there I saw that the sun was made of yellow flowers and I immersed myself into it and felt the living energy of all these flowers. Then I noticed the moon which looked lifeless and cold. I felt sorry for it so took one of the flowers from the sun and flew with it to the moon. When I placed the flower on the moon it lit up as if becoming alive and energized. I then looked at the Earth and saw points of yellow light on the surface but there were also areas of darkness and I got the feeling the Earth needed more yellow flowers because the yellow flowers represented love and the darkness was fear. It seemed like the sun was trying to pour more flower energy into the Earth but it was up to those who lived on the Earth to receive it and fill the Earth with love…

I put the music back on and we continued the session…

I felt tickles in my hair on the back of my head.

I had several random images of people’s faces smiling and laughing.
Then I got bright blobs coming and going in front of me.

Liz got a pair of big eyes looking at her; they looked like bee’s eyes.

Liz got the name ‘Rebeca’ and then ‘Rivka’  

Then she got ‘Janis’ someone she knew.

Liz got ‘Telegraph… a bunch of roses, cream and white… an image of a squeegee mop’

Liz continued…

‘Got a sense of a wheel, tyre tread like a tractor wheel, large wheel slowly turning…’

‘The word tellurium, it’s of the Earth… cleansing spheres, we need to free our self of the obsessing attachment to the Earth, illusion of the Earth as a world, to be able to experience clearly, to be able to experience the presence, especially at Christmas and the white roses are for purification’

‘This strange image of a man, a working man, a farm hand hiding a star in a dry stone wall, hiding it in the stone. The star is like the sun, all that light, why would he hide it in a dry stone wall which is a barrier, part of our fencing to keep things in, to keep things out, walls, such a strange thing to do. The working man in a Shetland sleeveless jumper and shirt and a peaked cap. A labourer on the fields hiding stars in the walls’

‘I guess what we’ve done with the Earth is we’ve taken what is vast and magical and we’ve parcelled it up, we’ve taken the great presence and we’ve parcelled it up, parcelled it up as little presents, little parcels of land fenced around, walls to keep in the sheep and the sheep that should be feeding in the high mountains and pastures become a commodity. We’ve hidden that light, that magic light, we’ve lost it, it’s got solidified, ossified, fossilized in stone and you won’t find it again until the walls are broken down, taken to pieces bit by bit, take the stones apart. Hard work and that’s the real work for the working man, to dismantle, to undress, to disclose, to uncover, to reveal the star that he’s hidden, the sun, trapped light’

‘I have this penetrating blue sky with absolute joy and very quickly this thin shell like a web, a sticky web, begins to form over it and I have this job to keep clearing it away like a windscreen wiper. Just need constant vigilance… Have to keep going back to that original light, that penetrating blue, the sky, the depth, light, not to let it get obscured, obscuring is the way of the world and it limits the joy, limits everything, but to hold onto the limitless is an act of constant attention, attending to the presence’

‘Got another picture of someone in a frogman’s suit, with a gas mask on, sweeping, cleaning up like sucking up rubbish, quite delicately brushing’

‘I got this image of Mary Queen of Shops… and then I got all the pigs in blankets, all the Christmas cooking and feeding stomachs that are over-fed. Just this sense of displaced values and degeneration of natural creative beings… You can feed joy or you can feed greed, it’s a choice. Many have lost the taste for pure water’

‘Just have this image of a serpent, a serpent has a shiny skin, the scales are like a mosaic and delightful to behold, are beguiling… Many hold on to the tail, the mosaic of myriad patterns, seductive, gleam and shine and forget that the serpent has a sharp tooth. The sharp tooth poisons and the poison spreads and leads to decay and death’

The music ended.

Liz thought she had somebody with her and continued…

‘Carly or Karen, looking up through the trees at the stars, through the roof of the forest, she just wants to give us a star, it’s the Christmas message, the star which is the sun, which is the Christos and to follow the star like the wise men and forget the tinsel… That’s all’

Liz then picked up soft music in her left ear which lasted about a minute.

Once back with it Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.


Liz had remained awake this week and apart from about five minutes I remained awake as well…  


87th Sittng 15/12/2015


It was good to be back after a four week break.

We had the room setup as usual.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation…

Liz started off on little tufts of grass like stepping stones. There were dandelion clocks and the seeds were blowing everywhere. Liz was chasing them and caught one which lifted her up floating above marshes and pools half-hidden in the grasses. She was going towards the sea with all of these dandelion seeds with rainbows going through them, it was a beautiful feeling of lightness. Then she seemed to be at St Wilfred’s Hospice in Eastbourne, in the garden. She went through one of the windows where there was an elderly lady with white hair lying on the bed. Liz was talking to her and was aware of the importance of the flowers outside in the garden; every room had a French window looking out into the gardens.  Liz then went through the various rooms reassuring people who were dying, then she went out of the window following the dandelion seeds and found herself free again with the clouds moving further and further out to sea until it was all bright shiny water. Liz was on her own with all these rainbows and dandelion seeds just floating in the air over the sea. There was a feeling of loneliness and she wanted to be with a community. Then she found herself by a cot in a hospital nursery with a new-born baby. She was playing with it, tickling it with the dandelion seeds and it was laughing. Liz had gone from someone who was dying to someone newly-born. Liz then decided to visit her mum and found her asleep so tickled her with the dandelions and then left her some on the dressing table to remember. The feeling Liz got was the wanting to be involved in healing and reassuring people of the spiritual reality by visiting them…

I started off standing in the middle of a whirlwind spinning round and round me. I could see shoes amongst the debris flying around me. I looked up and saw the sun directly above me and a beam of light came down into my head, through me and out of my feet into the ground. I felt charged up and got the feeling that I was able to stop this whirlwind with my mind which I did and the spinning shoes fell to the ground. I could now see I was standing in a grassy, hilly landscape on top of a hill. I noticed something approaching in the sky and as it got closer saw it was an eagle. It landed on my arm and I felt it wanted to take me somewhere so I held on to its leg as it took off into the sky over the hills. The scenery changed to mountains with sharp pointy tops and then I saw a flat area of rock where the eagle landed and left me on my own as it flew up into the mountains.  There was a small pool on the rock and I knelt down beside it looking at my reflection in the still water as three monks appeared also kneeling beside the pool. They told me to put my hands in the water and wash my face which I did giving me a wonderful feeling inside. At that point the music stopped bringing my visualisation to an end…

We continued the session…

I soon saw a bright blob in front of my eyes and had a hissing in my ears lasting a few minutes.

Liz felt she was with friends and had an image of Rupert bear.

The blobs went and the room now looked misty silver/blue to me.

Liz got the word ‘telangiectasia’
She couldn’t think where it came from but could have something to do with muscle sprain.
(she had a sprained wrist)

Liz sensed a Russian girl and got a fleeting impression of her with a band around her eyes.

She got the name ‘Dorothy’

I was aware of light to my right.

Liz got ‘Custard’ or ‘Custody’

She continued…

‘I seem to have a connection with tennis, tennis racket, keep quite or keep calm… and the tennis seems to come back to that Russian girl’

‘Someone dressed up as a queen, like on some sort of cruise, a holiday… I get the fleeting name Rudolf… chrysanthemum, like the dandelions I left for mum, yellow and white… There’s somebody here who’s being quite light hearted, got all these like fantasy figures, slightly outrageous, like there was somebody in a bikini…’

‘I’ve got melon or Melonie… or Mirren, like the actress Helen Mirren… Fortify… I think Freddie is trying to get through’  

‘I kept getting Kazakhstan and the space ship… That’s a connection with Freddie, he said the astronaut, he was going to play one of the songs to calm him before take-off, it was going to be a Queen song, I think he said thankyou Freddie, that was in the news…’

‘I had a feeling almost like crying, this feeling of being moved, a wonderful thing that someone who’s died has left something precious, something that can inspire other people, that the works of their hands and minds endures, it outlives the flesh. That is moving, it makes me want to cry, it’s beautiful. I left a legacy, Freddie…’

‘That’s very poignant to blast off into space with the words of a Queen song, I know what it was, the question, I don’t know if it was in the song… is this reality? That was being questioned… what is reality? That was the song he chose. I guess it’s this thing that to turn fiction into reality, whatever you imagine can mould the physical reality’

‘People were laughed at for assuming they could fly and that man could fly to the stars’

‘It’s like the words… We are such stuff that dreams are made on and our little lives are rounded in sleep… Maybe that’s the crux of it, we have to question what is real, we have to doubt our own version of reality’

‘And they have all the flags on the space station, you have to notice they are all made up of primary colours, permutation, that notion of individual nation, variations on a theme but flags turn to tatters, they’re changing colours all the time and so it all goes wrong, to put a flag on the moon is to lay claim on what is universal that’s why it all went wrong. When the centre is at every point everyone is everyone, there’s no individuality, it’s illusion’

‘I see this great sun like a ball of individuals but they’re all connected like the rays of the sun, all smiling and laughing, all the astronauts and those around each other they all have their roots in the sun like the petals of a sun flower, it’s a big smile…’

‘I’ve got the word featherweight… perhaps it’s floating through space like a featherweight… I’m seeing fireworks like a festival… fun… life is fun…’

The music had ended.

‘End on that note of a funfair or a fanfare… funfair or fanfare, I think that’s all connected with Freddie… Thank you Freddie… Ahh I’ve got the elephant nose so perhaps the group say they’re with us…’

Liz still had a pulling sensation on her solar plexus and felt a bit giddy.
She had a drink of water and we waited until she felt back with it.

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

We had both remained awake throughout the session this week.

86th Sitting 10/11/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off sitting in a cave with water dripping down in front of her like a waterfall and it was full of rainbows and glittering diamonds. Looking through it she could see streams, a boggy landscape and a patchwork of rivulets going down to a large body of water. Purple hills and mountains were in the distance and there were spider webs in front of her all bejewelled with dew drops. Liz then saw a band of monks and nuns coming down from the hills. They wore grey and brown gowns and were carrying a body, not a coffin, just the body. They removed its clothes, took it to the water, put it on a raft and went out to sea. When they came back one of the monks came towards Liz wearing a dark grey gown with long black hair and beard. He sat down and explained to Liz that this was the body, the husk of one of their brothers but he hadn’t died, he’d never stopped being alive, this was just the outer covering. He had some silver fish and started to cook them as he explained that the body of their brother made good food for the fish as this was an inhospitable landscape, not much grew but the sea was full of fish so they gave the body back to the sea for the fish to feed on. It was a way of replenishing stocks, all part of the whole ecosystem. He said there was never any want in the Earth, all our needs were met and the fish were there in abundance, there was food for all…

I started off in a very green place next to a pond of green water and the rocks were covered in green moss and slime, even the sky looked green. There were green frogs on the rocks and I realised I was a green frog too. I got the feeling of being looked at and could vaguely see faces in the sky. It felt like I was being observed in a huge glass tank. I imagined myself out of the tank and then found myself in a classroom with a group of children looking into this tank. Then I noticed people looking into the classroom through the windows so imagined myself outside the classroom with them. I decided to explore and walked out of the school onto a grassy field then up a slope reaching the top of a hill where I sat down to enjoy the warm sun and blue sky. Again I got the feeling I was being watched by people beyond the sky so imagined myself there and found myself in a bright dazzling white light unable to make out anything until my eyes got used to the brightness. Then I saw another group of people standing around another glass tank and when I had a look I saw it contained the whole physical universe…

(Liz suggested I’d transposed from the twinkle in my Father’s eye to being the actual eye)

I put the music back on and we continued the session…

I was feeling light headed.

Liz got the name Valerie.

The atmosphere was looking lighter and misty to me then it darkened and I saw bright blobs floating by.

Liz got the name David Armstrong.

Liz began to speak…

‘Heliotrope… I have this large green leaf like a cheese plant… There seem to be lots of cross communications, lots of people… it’s like seeing a spider’s web’

‘I’ve got this very thick book, I’m going to try and open it, it’s like a bible, got a little bit about sparrows… The birds, not one shall fall but the Father in heaven shall know of it’

‘I have the sense of cold grey stone archways…’

‘I have that sense of attention to detail, every line, every expression, every stage of growth, every person, every transition is noted, is observed, is registered, is lovingly recorded in the way that a parent watches a child grow, but we are all very important, part of a finely tuned web and each part is registered, the spider knows, the spider has spun the web, the spider knows each break, each section, each strand’

‘A telescope on the battlements of a castle, steel rivets, metal, it could be guns, gun emplacement.  I’m looking at the stars, they’re very brilliant, there’s no other light’

‘I’m looking at reflections in the window, families; I have a sense of Hogmanay’

‘Got the name Heather’

‘Somebody’s saying old power, I’m getting accordion music’

The music ended and I asked if there was any more to say…

Liz continued…

‘Just got the sense of this ancient dragon, old power… family feuds… I sense the old power… Looking up at the stars, this clarity, the brilliance of stars, the telescope seeing far, the whole universe out there, never ending. It’s this sense of in the stars are hidden patterns, hidden information, there’s hope in the seeds of new life, nothing’s stuck, the old shapes will be shaken and this new brilliance and wisdom will come through and all the old quarrels will be forgotten… That’s all’

We waited a few minutes for Liz to feel back with it but she still felt as if she was listening, she felt she was still caught up in it for a while as if there was more to come through, Scottish stuff, Macbeth, witches and a connection with Heather and old family feuds…’

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

  

85th Sitting 03/11/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

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

We did the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz started off looking at an exquisitely beautiful series of three lakes with islands. They looked like Japanese gardens and were linked by a wickerwork bridge. They were full of rainbows, blossom, orchids and lilies and Liz was fascinated by the beauty and simplicity. A Japanese lady came forward and led Liz over to a beautiful temple like a pagoda in the middle of one of the islands. They were about to have a tea ceremony sitting in a circle of people with a fountain in the middle, all incredibly beautiful and exquisite. Liz was very happy just to sit there as they were served steaming yellow fragrant jasmine tea in tiny cups. In the distance she saw wonderful snowy mountains and a path leading there and then both the Japanese lady and Liz began to form a snake like movement out into the snow towards the mountains, a beautiful fluid movement to the mountains and back again. When they got back, instead of a fountain there was a brazier of fire and someone passed around a bowl of fragrant fire. Liz had the feelings of the elements and being completely content to just be in that place, be completely simple. Stillness, simplicity and contentment with exquisite beauty in that one place. Liz found herself looking at the Japanese lady and it was like she was talking to her as Liz saw her face and hands moving like a dancer, it was like they were dancing this scene…

I started off standing by a manhole cover that had been taken off revealing a hole so I decided to climb down it. There was a rope ladder and as I descended I saw that I was entering a new world, climbing down from the sky on this ladder until I reached some lush grass on the top of a hill. I looked up and saw the ladder disappeared into the blue sky. There were lots of children running around who didn’t seem surprised that I had just climbed out of the sky. I walked down to a shallow lake which had a waterfall on the other side so I went in and waded across to the waterfall then went through it to find a cave in the rocks which I entered. The walls were sparkling with gold and I saw people dressed in white robes standing by the walls as I walked into the cave. I journeyed further into the cave and I noticed the gold walls were becoming incrusted with precious stones and the people were wearing colourful jewellery, the further I went the more jewels and precious stones I saw. Then I came to a junction, one way continued with the gold and jewelled walls and the other was just a plain rock cave so I took the plain rock cave route which eventually came out into a room with a long table. Around the table sat what looked like monks eating soup and a chunk of bread. I joined them and was given a bowl of soup and bread and as I looked around I saw one of the people from the other cave was also there and as he ate, his robes and jewels started to disappear and he turned into one of the monks. He looked pleased and contented that he was now part of this simple living and I got the feeling that all the monks had come from the other cave to live a simple life…  

I put the music back on and we continued the session…

The room started to flicker to me.
Then it felt like there was something crawling in my hair.
It felt cold around my face.
I had a lot of pressure and itchy feelings in my right ear which continued on and off throughout the session.

It started to look wispy and wavy in the room to me.
Then it was lighter and misty.

My legs and feet became very cold.
My forehead felt tight.

Liz began to speak…

‘A sense of weight, golden bricks in my lap, a city of gold, like a lion, like Aslan, Narnia…’

‘It’s like the words in the background… Of what shall we build the house?’

‘I sense this house, almost like a tent, made of silks that have rainbow patterns, colours painted on them in silk and this silk is spun from the humblest of creatures the worm, turquoise…’

‘Image of these bubbles, bubbles have this filmy rainbow on the surface like in iridescent patterns on oily water, on an insect’s wing, these delicate membranes… Of what shall we build our house?’

‘I have the name Charmian or Charmain’

‘I’m seeing these silks again, embroidery silks, like walking down a path of sweet peas, very subtle pastel colours, scented, sheer artistry, the creation…’

‘When you look at bubbles that are forming a bubble can engulf another bubble, they can coalesce and form a bigger bubble. These are just subtle manifestations of energy perceived by the eyes or it can be music for the ears, manifestations of energy, one soundwave being modulated by another, absorbing another waveform, another function of light, the sound of energy, energy forms absorbing, coalescing, mixing with others. We can interpret this in different ways according to our cultural beliefs, our conditioning, can see it as savagery, extinction, murder of one species by another one, erased by another, invasions, take overs, assimilations. This is just the natural flow and transition and the creative patterning of energy in all its manifestations and it’s all perfect, it’s all how it is… Of what shall I build this house?’

‘It’s the mirage of phantasmagoria, moving, coalescing, shifting, shape changing, miracle. The patterns and the colours and the shapes and the sounds like clouds, changing, patterning and the bursting like bubbles…’

‘Got the name Henry or Henrietta, Henrik?’

‘I have a sense of the lessons to be learnt from this falling snow, this great vast snowy dessert, wilderness, that in the middle there’s absolute presence and fire lit in the middle of this snow and ice, and the wolf, the wind and the knife edge of survival sharpens the focus into the ice crystals, the meaning, the meaning of predation, of the predator and prey, it’s attunement, that the one becomes exquisitely sensitive of the energy of the other’ 

‘What we see as pain, suffering and cruelty in this world is just our interpretation of something we see as fixed which is in fact an energy construct, a waveform and if we saw it as music, patterns, iron filings in a field being moved, shifted in different ways forming different shapes, patterns, being absorbed, being individualised again, single note, single waveform and then bifurcating into a complex pattern and breaking up again, merging with a larger field pattern, all the time transforming. You see the objects as we see them of nature, in their true aspect of energy, the interactions, transitions and patternings can be understood, appreciated independent of our thinking, of our conditioned response, reaction’

The music ended and I asked if there was anything else to be said?

Liz continued…

‘I just have the lady in the silk komodo and she’s dancing. The komodo contains all the shapes and forms of all living things and around her are all created forms and the lion and the lamb are lying beside each other and are with her in friendship, there’s no fear because all forms are understood for what they are and she’s dancing the dance of creation and her name is Isis… That’s all…’

Once Liz felt back with it she did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

Liz had remained aware throughout the session whereas I had drifted in and out of sleep…
