May 2012 saw the first sitting of a new mediumship development circle in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

We sit in Liz's fully blacked-out converted garage. I sit as the medium with Liz as sitter and we are sometimes joined by other guest sitters.

We treat each sitting as an experiment with no expectations from us and ask our Spirit Team to work with us in the most efficient way to produce evidential mediumship to help us understand ourselves and the bigger picture.

Each sitting is recorded, I transcribe the recording verbatim and include in the final report of the transcript any additional unrecorded experiences that Liz and myself remembered from the sitting.

I publish these reports to give people the opportunity to read or listen to the communications and hopefully increase their own understandings.

I welcome any comments or questions and my contact email is nickp7871@gmail.com

It's up to the reader to make up their own mind as to the source of the communications and phenomena reported and hopefully be inspired to set up a development circle to get their own experiences...

59th Sitting 12/08/2013

We had the room set up as normal.

Liz opened in prayer at 8.30pm then extinguished red light and put on the music.

I didn’t feel much spirit about at first in the cabinet.
Then as I relaxed more I felt them slowly moving in from above me.
I felt a pressure on the top of my head which slowly moved downwards like curtains coming down.
My breathing was being controlled and there were a few clicks and gulps in my throat.

Liz reported the room had gone from uniformly black to mottled with lots of dim blue/white lights moving around in the atmosphere.

Liz heard some noises in the cabinet and turned down the music.

The communication at first sounded like singing!!!
Then a range of voices came through speaking incoherently and practicing.

‘All is well we all practice in our own way… We all come through all at the same time… Always in tune...'

'Vocal chords, we are using vocal chords, manipulating vocal chords to control, to produce a different sound’

‘We all need a time to come through first, so come back soon’

‘Initially we all come through together. Each in turn tries the voice then we come back with our individual personality’

They withdrew and Liz turned up the music…


After about fifteen minutes Liz saw a blue light above the cabinet. She described it as electric blue or ultraviolet.
Then a communicator came through and Liz turned down the music…

‘Hello, hello… can you hear me’

Liz… ‘I can hear you’

‘Good, I come through’

Liz… ‘Welcome… yes your voice sounds different’

(My legs and arms were shaking making the cabinet curtain shake which you can hear on the recording)

‘I come through to speak… but what will I say? what do I say?… I had all these things I wanted to say but I find now I cannot put it into words, words that you use’

Liz… ‘Take your time’

‘I not used to speaking like this. It a new experience yes for me to do it in this way. To pluck words from mind. To use forward, each word comes from the mind of the medium, each word we use. For where we reside we do not have to use words in this way’

Liz… ‘You communicate with thought?’

‘Well, we are more connected. We can feel each other, each other’s thoughts, we can feel and sense’

Liz… ‘Empathy’

‘There is no need for verbal communication. We are more connected. You are, in your atmosphere, you are more individualized, for you feel more individualized’

Liz… ‘We have walls between each other’

‘This is true, for you feel you are a separate entity but if you allow yourself to become more connected you will realise that you are all one, all one connected together. Maybe a separate part of the one…’

(It seemed like the communicator faded out and another entity took over at this point. The voice sounded like an older man)

‘…let me explain. It would be beneficial for you to allow yourself to blend, to merge with each other personality on your side. Allow part of yourself to blend in the energy of the other people around you. It will become easier each time you do this. Allow yourself to become one with each other personality, each person, each animal. Each spark of life becomes one flame burning within. It will increase in size and light as it spreads throughout your reality’

Liz… ‘Is there a purpose to our feeling separate?’

‘It is there to help you learn by mingling with each other. You have, you feel you have your own decisions to make based on the actions of others. Others who are part of your reality, your self-created reality which you find yourself in. This contains personalities which react with you. You learn from them, they learn from you. Each decision is based on the state of your mind at this point’

Liz… ‘If we merge too much with others are we still able to be decisive?’

‘You will still retain that part of your personality which makes you unique. It is an aspect of yourself but the majority of your being is shared with others’

Liz… ‘Right, like a large group consciousness… Can you describe where you are from, where you are now?’

‘It would be impossible for me to give you a correct description of the conditions I live, in words that you use, for it is beyond words, but it is not beyond feeling. You will experience a feeling of how we, where we, what we experience but we are unable to put it into words. We can put it into thought. A thought which… a thought pattern. A pattern which we can create and modify until it fits the pattern of your mind. All these things can be interlocked, inserted into the correct pattern of your mind. There are many patterns which we exist with. Each pattern represents a step on our pathway to ever brighter flame of existence’

Liz… ‘Have you experienced life on earth, physical life?’

‘A part of us does experience what you call life on earth. It brings back to us realization that we have more to learn. Each time a part of us touches your plane it picks up a thought, a vibration which it can bring back to us increasing our awareness, expanding our awareness’

Liz… ‘So are you connected to our consciousness?’

‘In the wider reality we are all connected’

Liz… ‘Are you what has been termed as an over-soul?’

‘From your side you will give many names to what you perceive. You need a recognition for yourself to be able to understand what lies beyond. But when you find yourself in what you term as beyond then you will realise that words are not a necessary ingredient for understanding. But while you are connected to your earth plane then yes over-soul would be a descriptive word, a descriptive phrase’

Liz… ‘Thank you, thank you for your communication’


The communicator withdrew and Liz turned up the music. It had been turned completely down during the communication. In some development groups a certain level of music is requested during communications but it seems they are managing okay without in our circle. Interestingly in the Mercury Circle music was not always required for communication.

The penultimate tune came on and as always Liz reminded the team that it was coming up to time for them to withdraw so if they wanted to say anymore now was the time.

Soon after she said this another communicator came through.

‘Thank you for sitting once again. Thank you for dedication. We enjoy our time together this evening, a good energy was created enabling us to draw close. We look forward to a busy week with more circles. You have your table circle in a few days and you yourself will be in cabinet at the end of the week. We give advice… when you sit to imagine yourself as an octopus… something you have seen recently. You are to allow yourself to reach out into the room with all your tentacles, reach into each corner of the room, expand yourself. This is what you need to do when you sit. Allow yourself to become the whole room, this will help you to relax’

Liz… ‘Ha, ha… thank you for that advice’

‘We leave you now with our love and look forward to this busy week, thank you’


The music ended.

I was not quite back with it and Liz gave the team time to withdraw.
She then did the closing prayer followed by a closing exercise by which time I was fully back and feeling fine.

I think I had remained aware throughout this week although the sitting seemed to have gone very quickly to me.

Liz said that the long communication had created a very powerful feeling in the room.
It all made sense to her and tied up with some experiences she had been having recently. That day she had had a feeling of being connected with people, both friends and strangers.

It was good that Liz asked some profound questions which brought forward equally profound answers. Liz’s interaction seemed to empower the communication and keep it going.

To me the communication felt like it was a mixture of me and spirit. It seemed to be more me at the start then they took over as it went on. Some of the information given at the end was beyond my own thinking.

As my old friend Magnus said to me some years ago when discussing trance communications, ‘you have to pump a lot of bilge before the clear water flows freely...’
