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...

142nd Sitting 21/05/2015


We had the room setup as usual.

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

I lost consciousness just after the opening prayer. I remember bits of the music after that but didn’t come fully back till about two thirds through our CD after feeling a prod on my right leg which made me jump. I remained fully aware for a few minutes then felt a fuzzy feeling down my right side which continued through me until I felt fuzzy all over. I remained conscious but felt like I was charged with electricity. Then I felt the familiar feeling of being controlled and Liz turned off the music when she heard noises starting from the cabinet.

Liz welcomed the communication which took a while to become coherent…

‘Good evening, good evening’

Liz… ‘Good evening to you’

‘Yes, now we have… Now we can come into your room… come into you room with a physical voice and once again give you some words of encouragement and learning… truth, love, harmony all combine to make a wonderful chapter, a chapter to refer to when you find yourself wandering aimlessly in a web of understanding, a web that you have built up around yourself and you look for the way out, the way to a new understanding. Every mountain has many rivers that lead to the ocean and one river provides each person with the most comfortable journey to that ocean and you need to find that river, that river that most easily resonates with your own way of thinking, your own state of mind when you set out to journey to a greater understanding. When you find yourself on the correct river you will know for you will feel that ecstatic feeling resonating throughout your physical being and you will feel at ease, it will not be a struggle, it will be an easy way forward. All the time you are struggling with this you must realise that you are tuning to a distant river, not the river that is close to you, the river that surges you forward, for you are not to know when you are coming into line with that perfect river until you have succeeded in engaging with it and you have recognised that you are in tune with the correct river. So when you are struggling just pause, take a step back and retry with less effort for you can try too hard, you can use all of the experimental procedures that you have learnt from others and from the books that you read and understand but the true way forward is to understand your own feelings, your true journey forward, allow yourself to settle in to that correct river that will take you uninterrupted on your journey to the ocean, that wonderful ocean of further understandings'

Liz… ‘Thank you friend that’s interesting and useful’

‘All will become apparent to you but you will take many wrong turnings as you set out to discover but do not let this disappoint you for all the time you are taking the wrong turning you are learning, you are building up an understanding in your mind and you will use this to figure out for yourself the correct river’

Liz… ‘And is that the case then that every person has a unique way to access this greater knowledge?’

‘Every person, every spirit, every spark of life is unique. You can share experiences but your interpretations are unique to you, to each spark of life wherever it may be, at whatever stage it maybe it is for you to understand yourself’

Liz… ‘So the aim is to become more authentically in touch with one’s own vibrational energy’

‘Yes you will slowly learn to understand that energy, that motivating force that drives you for it is always with you, with each person and that force is what is unique to you the spirit. It is what guides you through your life; it is what pushes you through your life but you as an entity walking this physical Earth plane will put up obstructions for this force that is pushing you forward. For at times you feel uncomfortable when you are moving forward, you put up resistance to the pushing forward for nobody likes to be pushed around. That is a natural reaction to the motivating force that is trying to push you forward through your life experiences in a physical existence. Understand the obstacles that you are creating and your life will become more understandable, you will recognise why you have set yourself on this path of a physical existence. For you gave yourself various tasks to undertake before you settled in to this physical existence and you are slowly realizing what these tasks are and you know when you have achieved for you will feel that feeling, that wonderful feeling of elation. It will suddenly come to you and at first you will not realise why, why you are feeling this. Some days you will wake up with a smile upon your face for a part of you will know but that clouding that you all do to yourself will confuse you. Always take a step back when you feel you are being confused, you feel you are hitting your head against a barrier. If you continue to try you will make matters worse. If you step back, examine your feelings, then you can begin to understand why’

Liz… ‘Does this mean then in a sense that when people study esoteric disciplines and meditation in a particular school or a particular method, they’re taught a particular method and a particular way, that it can make things very difficult for them, they don’t progress, they don’t feel as if it’s working and they often blame themselves, they think there must be something wrong with them or they’re doing it wrong. Is it for this reason that sometimes they’re trying to fit themselves into a frame and a methodology that just doesn’t suit them that isn’t authentic for them?’

‘They are trying to fit themselves into what works for somebody else. Somebody else has found the correct river for them and they believe that that is the way for all. They have been so successful in their own development and understanding that they have indeed found for themselves the correct river and they have flowed freely into the ocean of understanding then they believe that all will do this the same way when in fact only a few will come near for some of the rivers will intertwine with one another and become one but some rivers will take a completely different path as they make their way to the ocean. Those who’s rivers can intertwine and become one will indeed succeed using the methods put forward by this teacher to them so not all is lost for there can still be similarities that run hand in hand from person to person. So it is the case of finding the correct teacher for you if you wish to be inspired by another, if you do not wish to go it alone and find for yourself your own true river, so prepare yourself for disappointment when you travel the path of others but at the same time know that it could be near enough the correct path for you to get close enough to find your way into that correct river. Does this make understanding to you?’

Liz… ‘Yes thank you’

‘There are no real correct answers for there are so many possibilities and each unique spirit is not always so far apart from the next unique spirit but at the same time sometimes they will be totally working in another direction that will never fit with that of another. With practice, with experience you will begin to understand, you will begin to know when you are in tune with another spirit. Some people will feel, you will feel at ease with some people, this is a clue to you that you may well travel along a similar path’

Liz… ‘Yes and conversely when you don’t feel completely easy with another person and their teaching and their ways, when it jars or doesn’t ring true for you. That’s also a sign that you’re barking up the wrong river’

‘Exactly yes…’

Liz… ‘And it doesn’t invalidate their teaching or their method because it may work for other people but for you it’s off course’

‘Yes there are no wrong ways, there are no incorrect rivers for they all lead to the ocean’

Liz… ‘Yes that’s very useful because I think a lot of people do blame themselves, they start along a path with a lot of enthusiasm and then feel dissilience, it doesn’t quite work for them and they blame themselves, they think there must be something wrong with them that it’s not working and because they’ve put so much hope and faith in this particular path and it seems to be working for other people they don’t have the courage to forge their own way, they feel there must be something wrong with them and they struggle as you say and just seem to get further and further from their own path. So that’s very useful what you’ve said because it confirms something that I’ve felt that people do need to take control, take autonomy for their own developmental path and although they can take a little bit from other people that may be helpful, it’s wise to always consult with oneself and use oneself as the ultimate guide. I think the great teachers like Buddha himself has always advocated that. Suck it and see and if it doesn’t work find for yourself whether this is true for you, find your own way to these truths’

‘If at first you do not succeed try, try again…’

Liz… ‘You try a different way’

‘This is always the answer; if you are struggling then you know you are as you said barking up the wrong river for it should be an easy path, nothing is made difficult for you, you make the difficulties for yourself, you create the obstructions. If you are having difficulties know that you are in the incorrect place, step back, give it a rest, try something else, take yourself away, have yourself a holiday, come back refreshed, start a new path’

Liz… ‘That’s very helpful thank you… I guess the same applies with any growing thing when you consider a plant putting out its roots and it comes up with obstructions it looks for a different pathway through the soil, through the earth until it finds it’s…’

‘We have said in the past all you need to do is look into the nature on your planet, look at the wild life, observe this life as it moves itself forward and you will see the patterns emerging that are mirrored in your own quest to move forward to gain greater understanding for all life is set in this similar blueprint, this similar pattern. You can learn from observing the nature on your world, the animal kingdom, see how they succeed, see how they fail, see how they try again. They do not become so disheartened as the human form becomes disheartened for they do not take with them the egos, the fears that the human form build up within their own minds. They do not see themselves competing with one another, they are more happy to share their discoveries with one another. Watch them at work and bring this to your own understanding and your own journeys. There is so much for you to learn from your own planet Earth and all that lives within it and around your world…’

I felt the energy drop at this point and then slowly build up again…

‘We have come to the time now for us to close your evening, we have reached the point where our energies are fading. We hope you have enjoyed your evening with us tonight’

Liz… ‘I have’

‘We have tried to change the time we’ve come through and we have been able to, we have come, we have made a stronger link, a stronger link to get through more positive understanding to you’

Liz… ‘That’s good thank you’

‘But we have come, we have exhausted our energies and we now have to draw back. So we as always give to you a piece of our love, take it into your world and spread it into the understandings that you observe when you look into the nature, the wild life on your planet and help all to understand why you have placed yourself upon this world, this beautiful world of opportunity to learn and grow and care for your fellow spirits as you wander half blinded to the realities that surround you, that are looking after you, that are attaching themselves to the journeys that you undertake in this brief moment that for you is understood as a physical lifetime. Thank you, good evening and may God continue to inspire you forward on the onward journey to that brilliant diamond light that is already a part of your existence. Do not struggle, allow yourself to fit into place, fit into the correct river and enjoy the journey as you are taken by the current into that great ocean of understanding. Good night and God bless you all’

Liz… ‘Good night and God bless you friend’

‘Please replay your music and we will withdraw, thank you’

Liz… ‘Our love and blessings with you, good night’

Liz put the music back on.


I felt back with it after about three minutes.

The session had lasted just over one and a half hours.

Liz hadn’t noticed any phenomena in the room this week; she had drifted off briefly a couple of times but had remained mostly fully aware and had sung along to some of the songs.

I remembered getting the phrase… ‘Every mountain has many rivers that lead to the ocean’ in my head early on in the session when I was drifting in and out of consciousness.

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