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...

77th Sitting 17/12/2013


It was just Liz and I for this our last sitting of 2013.
We had the room set up as normal.

Liz opened in prayer at 8.30, turned out red light and put the music on.

Two minutes later Liz reported light shapes moving out of the darkness.
They had a reddish glow.
She said it was like looking at multiple reflections in water.

Liz got the impression of black and white stripes in the room.
It made her think of a Zebra.
Then a silver grey colour.

Noises started from the cabinet.
Liz muted the music and welcomed the communication.
After a bit of tuning in there was…

‘All here… all our love, all love in your circle’

Liz… ‘You’re very welcome’

‘All join hands, all able to come through… Very good time for us to come through… All come through door into your room. Ha, ha, ha, just like you we enter through a door’

Liz… ‘Has it become easier?’

‘Each time we come closer we are able to… Each time we are able to increase our awareness of your vibration, of your atmosphere. Each time we come we can increase the power behind our thought, behind our intention, behind our aim for you’

Liz… ‘That’s good; it means we will be able to do more work’

‘All is in hand and we are happy that we are able each time to come in this way. It is a building process. Each week build on previous week until a stronger connection is built upon. Keep doing as you do, all is part of a greater plan, a greater experiment which we can reveal part by part as we build our link with this circle’

Liz… ‘That’s really good news’

‘All of us are here and are learning from you as you learn from experience, your own experience enables us to tap into your mind and get a feeling of what you are experiencing’

Liz… ‘Will you be able to tell us more about what it’s like from your side and what is planned?’

(Voice changed) ‘All will be uncovered in time, you have to have patience but a little impatience is not a bad thing because it gives you the drive, the interest, the passion, the passion for what you are striving to achieve so do not worry if you feel impatient, it is not necessarily a bad thing’

Liz… ‘Good, ha, ha…’

‘We can understand what it feels like for you, you are anticipating a new knowledge, an increase in knowledge, it is a feeling, a feeling that you can… you feel you can accomplish, you feel you can accomplish this but you have to wait, you have to wait until the time is right for us to bring you this knowledge. These descriptions of a condition that we are able to convey to you in some way, it is up to us to decide on the correct way to convey this information. It is no good us trying to describe things which you yourself have no personal reference. We have to introduce small images into the room, into your mind, that you will be able to relate to in a future, in a later time when we can describe some of what we know to be what we experience from our side’

Liz… ‘Okay, thank you, look forward to that. It’s good to know we are laying the foundation blocks’

Liz put the music up as the communicator withdrew.


Liz got very hot.
She said the room was very dark and the atmosphere thick.
She felt a strong drawing sensation from her solar plexus.

Liz said it was now looking bright near the healing book.
Then she was aware of a sage green/silvery light to her right.
There was a clear division between the left half and right half of the room.
Then the division began to break down. The green light was leaching into the left side of the room.
It began streaming towards the cabinet.

Liz saw vertical lines in the room.
Then what looked like a rotating wheel in front of the cabinet.
She said it was like looking at something in a convex mirror.
She saw a flying ball moving around, it was very fluid.

Liz felt a breeze over her face.
She felt someone was trying to make their presence felt.
There were flashing dim lights and sparks.
Liz felt like she partially perceived a presence.
Something moving suddenly became illuminated.
The form was very diffuse, diaphanous.
She couldn’t perceive it as a coherent shape.
She said it was like looking at flames in a fire or a sea anemone.

Noises were heard from the cabinet and Liz muted the music again.
She welcomed the communication…

Liz… ‘Hello friend’

‘I hear your observations… We pleased we can come through in a visual way, a visual experience for you… We appreciate the way you describe what you see for it gives us, it gives us benefit, forward, forward… it gives us a benefit for us to work on, a base line, a base line for us to work on. So each time you see these things continue to describe in the way you do and we will listen and learn and adjust until the time you will positively see us as we truly are’

Liz… ‘That’s wonderful, that’s good, I can see a slight light at the moment at the foot of the cabinet’

‘All these things that you see you will put your own interpretation to, but this is a good thing, it is training your mind to perceive, perceive what would normally be a dark room. Suddenly a dark room becomes, fills with images before you so take each image and allow it to penetrate your mind, trigger off a memory in your mind that you can compare with what you see’

Liz… ‘Okay… thank you for your feedback’

There was a change of voice and attempts at speaking but nothing coherent came through. Seemed like they were practicing with something before fading out.
Liz put the music back up.


Liz saw light curved shapes moving around the room.
Then Liz reported seeing a bright person to her right.
There was a strong light shining in her right field of vision. (When we talked about this after the sitting it sounded just like what I experienced when I was sitting in Liz’s seat and she was in the cabinet last Wednesday 11/12/13)

Liz then heard a noise to her right like something hitting the floor. (Unfortunately no apports were found afterwards)

Noises started again from the cabinet and Liz muted the tunes…

Liz… ‘Hello…’

‘Look, look, look around, wake up, wake up, wake up out of your sleep… Break free from the mist that blinds you to the true reality. Break free from the sounds, the clutter that stops the true music from reaching your ears… Each time you dream you are allowed to see beyond that what you perceive in your daily life. You are taken out of that which blinds you. Your are taken into a clarity, a clarity of feeling, of vision, of hearing, touch… Each time you are given a dream it is a precious component which will enable you to reach up forwards out into our atmosphere for a brief time. You will learn each time you reach out how to perceive and how to remember and each time you have a dream it will impinge on your mind a memory which you have to translate into your waking life, your waking reality. Each time you dream you are with us, you are a part of our world. So let the dreams come through; enjoy the dreams for you will be able eventually to perceive a reality before you’

Liz… ‘Does it matter that I’m not fully conscious that I’m dreaming at the time that I’m dreaming?’

‘It is experience, consciousness is there when you are experiencing. You need to think about the term fully conscious. Fully conscious, what is full consciousness? What is it that restricts your consciousness? What is it that makes you think your consciousness is not operating at its full capacity? It could be the memory which has a limitation. It could be a limit, a filter on your memory which gives you the impression that consciousness is not full. Allow the experience to filter through. Do not worry that you may not feel fully conscious in your dream, this will come naturally the more you think, the more you think about your dreams. Each time you dream you have built up a memory from previous experiences. This memory will help you to become what you perceive as fully conscious. Just allow it to happen, do not try too hard for you are fighting when you are trying from a perspective of your side, from your side, you allow, just allow the dream to work its way into your consciousness’

Liz… ‘Okay, thank you for that’

(Change of voice) ‘Our time is at an end once again now; all of your tunes are finished so we thank you once again for sitting in this way. We look forward to a new year, a new year after our break. We will continue to develop the circle in the way that will be most beneficial. We will introduce some new aspects in the coming year. This has been a good year for development. If you compare the last few weeks with the first few weeks of your year you will see how far we have come and we will continue to develop in this way. Each week we build on previous week until a strong connection is built between us all’

Liz… ‘That’s good; I can feel that it’s definitely stronger and I’m very glad that it seems to have stabilized so well. So thank you, thank you friend and now we have come to the end of our session so we thank you very much for your communications but ask you now to draw back a little so that the medium can come back into the room’

‘Thank you and we look forward to our next time’

Liz… ‘We look forward to it very much too, thank you friend, our love and blessings with you’


I slowly came back.
Liz did the closing prayer, sent out healing and did our closing exercise by which time I was fully back and feeling fine.

We now have two weeks off for the Christmas/New year holiday and will be back on January 6th…   

76th Sitting 09/12/2013


It was just Liz and me again this week and we set the room up as usual.

Liz did the opening prayer at 8.30pm, turned on the music CD and extinguished the red light.

Five minutes later Liz felt like she had a cap on her head.
She could see shapes swimming through the room.
Then sensed what she described as electric streaks of light or static light going through the room.
She saw what looked like fracture lines in rock.
In her mind she heard ‘At the coal face’ and got the impression of the incredible density of the physical world.

Liz felt there was someone to her left, between her and the cabinet.
She felt them near her left ear, holding her head, as if about to whisper something.
Then she felt a trickling sensation on the crown of her head trickling down her left side.
It felt very cold to her left.

As she said that there were a few noises starting from the cabinet and Liz muted the music…

Liz… ‘Hello’

‘All here…’

Liz felt a breeze in front of her.

The communication was mainly incoherent and random words, as if tuning in.
Liz encouraged the communication forward and repeated some of the words back.
Eventually the communication faded and Liz put the music back up.


Liz felt like the room was full of people.
She saw vague outlines and dim lights moving around the room.
And a few sparks in-between them.
Liz then reported what looked like a paper chain strung across the room from the cabinet to the far end.

More noises started from the cabinet.
Liz welcomed them and muted the music.

It was a different type of noise, gurgling, hissing and choking!!!
Random words came forward in a deep tone, very difficult to understand at first.

All is good… all walk, our worlds, all worlds… (Repeated) All worlds are here, all able to mingle with each atmosphere… forward, come forward, very, very forward, we reach to you from our world, we come forward, we come forward from our world to your world of matter, so we can touch once again…’

Liz… ‘Our dense structure… You’re very welcome’

‘Time come for us to reach out, reach out to your world, enable a communication’

Liz… ‘I’m so glad you’re able to’

‘All people should know that they have a purpose, each person should know… all people…’

Liz… ‘What is their purpose?’

‘Each person has a goal; each person has a goal but it, it, it…’

Liz… ‘Keep coming through… Each person has a goal?’

‘Each person has a goal and they have to remember, have to remember their goal, they…’

Liz… ‘How do we remember the goal?’

‘It is a slow process, steady, steady… (Change of voice) Let it work its way into your mind through remembrance of before your time, of before your time on the earth, a remembrance which is there, it is there, it is shielded by matter but it is there and it can be found. It takes a steady mind, a mind which is able to penetrate and go back, in a physical sense, so… order in your life, set forth intention to discover your true goal for your journey in this life now that you have undertaken. Allow your memory to expand and allow your memory to bridge the gap between this life and the true life that surrounds you. Each time you do this a part of you will be unfolded to you. A part of your true self, a true meaning of your life which is always there, always a part of you but not remembered when you are living a physical life. Forget material boundaries. Allow a spiritual nature to seep into your mind piece by piece. Slowly recognition of your goal will be shown to you like a picture. A picture painted by your hands. Each brush stroke will provide a clue as to your goal’

Liz… ‘Good, thank you’

‘Hear the words around you, listen out for the clues, feel the picture unfolding and see what master piece has been created for you to see… All life has purpose, all life has a goal. Just allow that goal to be shown’

Liz… ‘Thank you for the reminder’

‘Do not look too hard. Do not feel, do not see, just allow, just allow, just relax and it will be shown to you. You do not have to look, it is not hidden, it is merely there waiting for you to unlock and let it be revealed to you’

Liz… ‘So it’s a process of opening, of anticipation. Thank you’

The communicator withdrew and Liz turned the music back up.


Things were quiet for the next 20 minutes then there was a lip-smacking noise from the cabinet as more communication came through and Liz muted the music again…

Liz… ‘Hello… someone trying to speak? You’re very welcome friend’

‘Sometimes you feel you are blown around like a leaf by the wind in a random direction. Each blast of wind is directed, is directed. Nothing is by chance. You will find yourself in places that you feel you belong. This is because the wind is directed by a greater knowledge, a greater intelligence. A greater intelligence that is connected to you, it is a part of you. It is a part of yourself that is directing your life which you can feel if you allow yourself to expand your feeling into that which directs’

Liz… ‘What about random thoughts and dreams?’

‘The thought and the dream is not random but your perception of the thought and the dream gives the impression that it is random. You need to fine-tune your perception, bring the dream closer to your true reality so you can walk into the dream and question the dream, examine the dream, test and re-test each part of the dream until you realise it is not a random dream, it is directed by your greater self, your larger self. The larger part of yourself directs each dream, each thought, each apparent random thought which your earthly self will perceive as a random thought’

Liz… ‘So don’t dismiss it even if it’s uncomfortable’

‘Test it, test it and question why it is uncomfortable, what feels uncomfortable. Maybe part of you is blocking the true meaning of the dream giving illusion of uncomfortable. If it feels uncomfortable then something is wrong. Examine the feeling you get, question it, allow yourself to expand into the dream once again until you find the one piece which does not fit, does not fit to the pattern of your mind, then realign that piece until you feel comfortable, until you feel joy, until you feel pleasure from that dream’

Liz… ‘Okay, thank you’

‘Each step of your journey has been directed but at the same time you are allowed to make mistakes, to go the wrong way, to venture into parts that will upset, will feel uncomfortable until you have realised why that feeling has become apparent. The more you do this the more you will realise that you can, you can experience happiness, pleasure, the loving feeling from your outer self which will penetrate your inner self, the self that experiences physical matter for this brief journey you call life on earth’

Liz… ‘Thank you, thank you, profound wisdom there’

‘All will become apparent the closer you get to the true goal of your life, the true meaning of your life’

Liz… ‘It’s still a mystery…’

‘Let yourself mingle with others, listen to others, listen to their stories, compare them to your own. Feel how they experience their life. Compare again with your experience and gradually you will find a connection with all other people. All people are having the same experience but they are interpreting it in their own way... This is partially your goal, to unravel the mystery of interpretation of experience’

Liz… ‘A difficult one…’

‘Only difficult if you perceive it difficult. Just relax, let the difficulty fall and the truths become apparent. Difficulty is self-created. You will soon learn that you do not need difficulty, you do not need these spikes of unreason, of unapparent reason… (It then seemed like the communicator faded out and another took over, the one who usually closes) …Thank you once again, we have reached once again the, what you call the last two tunes of your music. This is our signal, our signal that our time with you once again has come to an end. An end in this way, although as you know we are always with you, we are always inspiring you, helping you, not guiding but we just remain by your side. When you need us we are there. We will let you make your own mistakes for we know that will be a learning for you. Each mistake you make gives you something to think about, something to build a pattern in your mind and hopefully not repeat your mistake. When you do not learn, the mistake will reappear. If you find a repeating pattern in your life then look further, expand your thoughts, find why you are repeating the same situation. Once you have learnt how to overcome that situation, after a time another situation will become apparent to you and another mistake which you will learn from and so it will go on but each time you become closer to the real, the real you, the force within you, that drives you… your spirit… Thank you we go now, we leave you with our love and we look forward to working and mingling with you in this condition once again, thank you’

Liz… ‘Thank you very much and our love to you… Thank you friend’


The last tune came to an end.

Liz said it was now very light in the room.
It also looked light to me in the cabinet as I came back.
I was very warm but my hands were cold.
I had remained aware throughout this evening, just slightly out of it.

Liz said that the communications were helpful to her and related to some of her own thoughts at this time.

She also felt herself being overshadowed at times but kept with it this week.
During the evening she got the name ‘Thoreau’ a poet who wrote the book Walden.

75th Sitting 02/12/2013


Dan is away for all of December so it’ll be just me and Liz now till the new year.

We had the room set up as normal.

I felt light headed and instantly got a tickly cough as soon as I sat in the cabinet.
This week I also got the feeling the cabinet was bigger than normal as I settled into my chair.

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

Ten minutes after opening Liz reported a sudden flurry of light in front of her.
She reported this at the same time as a communicator began to control me in the cabinet.
Various voice noises, coughs and gurgling came through.
Liz turned down the music and welcomed the communication…

‘Easy, easy, easy…’ (Repeated in different voices)

Liz… ‘Hello Mr Easy, welcome’

‘Hello, hello, hello…’ (Repeated in different voices)

‘All here, all here…’

Liz… ‘You’re very welcome’

There were various incoherent voices and sounds coming through.

Liz… ‘I can hear you’re having a good practice’

Liz put the music back up as the communication faded.


Liz said the room was very dark.

About 20 minutes after the last communication a few noises started in the cabinet again.
It was an unusual sound which I don’t think we’ve had before.
Liz turned down the music and welcomed the communication.
The voice pitch got higher almost singing then speaking but incoherent.
Liz encouraged the communicator to speak clearer.

‘Edith… Edith…’ (Repeated)

Liz… ‘Edith? Is that Edith?’

‘Yes, yes, yes…’

Liz… ‘Do we know you Edith? Do I know you?’

‘Well… Edith, Edith… Day centre, day centre… Edith, Edith… Thank you, thank you for looking after me… All is well… Hold, hold… Words, so simple yet… Stable…’

Liz continued to encourage the communicator to keep coming through and come forward a bit stronger.

‘Stable, like a very strange sensation, stable, delicate, stable, precision instrument, full of complicated variable systems. Hold, one two three then come forward they say hold it into place. It is a very unstable complicated vehicle to come through for we have a lot of learning to achieve a perfect link. So you will appreciate time is spent tuning in to this precision instrument’

Liz… ‘Okay, you’re doing very well’

‘Each time we can continue to develop amount. It is a time for us to prove ourselves so slowly upwards…’

Liz… ‘Yes you’re doing very well, it takes time and you’re learning… A delicate balance’

The communication faded and Liz put the music back up.


Liz was getting very hot and felt a pressure in her throat.
She was being overshadowed; someone was looking through her eyes.
It felt to her like she wasn’t there.
She had a clear conceptual vision and felt inspired to say a few words…

‘It doesn’t matter who has the dream, who has the vision, who has the words, the experience it’s all the same. It’s not a question of individual achievement, the individual doesn’t matter. The truth comes at different times in different people and it’s all the same. It doesn’t matter who it is. The idea that we have to achieve personally is a mistaken idea because we’re all the same. So far as things arise in different ones at different times that’s okay. Just let it go, let it be as it is. Striving for individual experience gets in the way. The effort is good but where the fruit flourishes it doesn’t matter’

Then a communication started from the cabinet…

‘Hello, hello, hello…’

Liz… ‘Hello to you’

A few random words came through for a while as if tuning in, then…

‘Still a voice, a voice in the dark come through, forward, take us, take us forward to come through into atmosphere. Wake up, wake up and see us, how we gather in our work this way is for more of our, look… Wake up, wake up and… Wake up, wake up and perceive all of us in the room, in the room… We can join with you, join hands with you, bring a link to the circle, bring our love into the room and join your circle, our circle, our circle of love which spread out into atmosphere. Each time we gather in this way we can build a brighter light, a brighter light, a beacon shining forward, forth into the atmosphere. Colour your world with our light. It will bring, it will bring joy, healing and happiness to all of your world, all animals, all people will benefit from this gathering each week. Each time we sit it spreads, it spreads to all other groups, all other lights, all lights intermingle and spread about the world’

Liz… ‘That’s wonderful’

‘So I say thank you once again for sitting in this way. We shall draw back but we appreciate the way you sit, your dedication, the way you think, the way you feel, the way each time you motivate, you motivate and build, and build energy within circle, so go, so far, good energy spread, spread out. So till we meet, till we meet again we say thank you’

Liz… ‘Thank you and you’re very welcome, love and blessings with you, thank you friend’


The music ended.

Liz waited till I was back with it before doing the closing prayer, sending healing and doing our closing down exercise.

I remained aware throughout the session but think I drifted off a bit during the quiet periods.
Liz hadn’t seen much light phenomena in the room this week.
She felt she was getting more internal images a bit like the lights in the head experienced with a migraine.
She had a strong feeling of the hexagons in I Ching. They were red in colour.

Liz couldn’t quite place an Edith but had known someone with a similar name from a day centre.
Hopefully the communicator will be back with more info in the future.

At one point during the sitting Liz sensed a Cathleen in the room. She saw her quite clearly and she had a dog with her. She had dark hair not in a bun but it was drawn back in a style off the shoulder.
She didn’t verbalise this at the time in case it influenced any communication through me.

I sensed a Bert or Albert with me. He had sat in physical circles himself in Arundel Road, Eastbourne, possibly 50-100 years ago. He seemed to be wondering why there was just one sitter in this circle. He seemed to be a comical character and I thought he was going to communicate but he didn’t. Maybe another time he will?

It had certainly been an interesting evening for both of us...
