We had the room setup as usual.
Liz did the opening prayer at 8.35pm, turned out the light
and put the music on.
After five minutes Liz reported feeling presences in the
room.
She saw moving shapes and noticed the room became a pale
green colour.
Liz felt a juddering effect.
I lost consciousness just after the opening prayer and woke
up about 20 minutes later.
After another ten minutes I started to be controlled.
Liz turned off the music and welcomed the communication as
it settled in…
‘Good evening, good
evening’
Liz… ‘Good evening to
you’
‘Step outside of your
familiar routine and observe the way that you can receive the inspirations that
come to you. Step outside of what you feel you need to keep hold of, what you
feel comfortable with. Step outside of this comfort zone and you will recognise
the fragile connection that you have with your physical world. You will
recognise that only one small part of that what you call yourself is truly
engaged with physical reality for there is much more, there is a greater part
of yourself waiting to be recognised, waiting to be set in motion, set free,
given the chance to work for itself, work in its own way, creating and
modifying all that it perceives. Step beyond the familiar and your creating
powers will be enhanced. You are like a small dot on a page of writing. You all
concentrate on that one dot yet there is much that surrounds that dot. That dot
makes up but one section of a page of writing. Recognise that you are more.
Recognise that you have been placed on this physical world in your entirety, your
full self, every part of yourself can be used; can be the focus of your
attention. You do not need to focus your attention on that one dot. There are
many ways, many pathways to allowing your focus of awareness to spread out
across the page of understanding. You can allow this to happen in a natural
way, you can step out of yourself, you can reach out’
Liz… ‘Is it just habit
that keeps us going round in these mental circles of worry and concern over
mundane activities and problems. What is it that keeps us going round and round
with these familiar thoughts?’
‘It is an internal
conditioning, you have much experience, much build-up of experience as you go
about your daily tasks, your mundane tasks but at the same time your interest
has been sparked, your interest into discovering that greater reality, that
greater understanding that surrounds you, that is within your grasp. Having
that wanting to explore creates connections with those who are eager to help,
eager to assist, eager to share in your discoveries but only you can make that
decision to open and expand your awareness and only you can discover how. For
the discovery of how to expand your awareness is the key, the key that unlocks
your mind from this one narrow focus, this pinpoint of focus, you are
encouraged to find it yourself. Always observe each unusual sensation, each
unusual feeling that you have. When something happens that makes you think,
that makes you question, that makes you question the solidity of a physical
world, focus your awareness on this. Appreciate the importance of the subtle
inspirations that occur to all on your world for you all are trying to get the
attention of your greater self. You and you alone will recognise this. It is
very easy to over complicate something which is simple; something which is
within your grasp will be pushed away by complications. Keep it simple, keep it
real, try not to look for what is not there, try to encourage that what is
there to bring itself into your awareness’
Liz… ‘It feels
sometimes as if the normal everyday awareness is a very cluttered and
restricted and low energy awareness and it feels very difficult to operate more
effectively with more energy and more openness. It’s as if a physical fatigue
cramps everything and slows it down, makes it feel obscured and limited’
‘You have unlimited
power at your disposal’
Liz… ‘Feels like being
in possession of a possibly very high fidelity instrument but that it’s only
working at a fraction of its real efficiency, its tuning is imperfect, not
operating on all cylinders. I suppose one way of looking at it is as if the
driver, me being the driver, has been interfering with the controls, fiddling
around with limited understanding and has messed it all up somehow’
‘Step out of the
driving seat, let go of the controls, take yourself into a new frame of mind,
forget the unnecessary irritations in your life’
Liz… ‘This is where
the idea of being able to go on retreats seems to be perhaps a very good way of
doing this’
‘Think of your life as
a retreat, a constant retreat free from all the complications, free from all
the distractions. Keep your mind focused on that thought and you will see how
you can indeed create for yourself a new reality’
Liz… ‘Can you do that
even while you’re engaged in all the normal everyday obligations and tasks?’
‘Indeed you can. Teach
yourself to do this, teach yourself to rise above that what causes you to
believe that you have complications in your life, that you have disturbances in
your life. Think of all of these as opportunities, grasp the opportunities and
allow them to help you rise further above the complications of a physical life.
There is nothing that can be thrown at you that will prevent you from living a
wonderful uncluttered life. Only you will let that what comes to you cause
confusion or irritation. The more that you consciously work at this each day of
your life the easier it will become. Each time you stop working at this you
will sink back down into the familiar, what for you has become the comfortable
and the more that you do this that comfortable feeling will move away from the
irritations and the complications of life. You will feel yourself rising above,
you will feel yourself not allowing the complications to cause you worry for
you will see the opportunities presented to you and you will grasp them with a
smile upon your face for you will recognise the good in all of this, the love
in all of this. Teach yourself to walk tall, walk above the underlying currents
with a clear head and a clear mind. Only you can do this, only you can motivate
yourself to keep on going, to keep on working but the benefits will be seen as
a widening of your awareness’
Liz… ‘It’s almost
paradoxical to think of keeping on working at letting go of working. You talked
about the two different types of work as if you’re saying to keep vigilant but
to let go of attachment’
‘To walk tall is to raise
your mind, raise the way you think, raise the way you see, raise the way you
interpret each situation. The work involved is in maintaining this, is in
holding yourself up’
Liz… ‘I guess you’re
saying a certain sort of vigilance, an attentiveness too’
‘As you rise, your
attention will be heightened. That way you will see more in each situation, you
will see what to reject and what to hold onto. You will see what it is that can
drag you down and you will become wise and not allow yourself to be dragged
down and the beauty of this is that it will spread out to others, those who you
have become friends with will see how your own life can change and they will be
attracted to how you are achieving this. They too will be raised up, they will
follow your lead, they will want what you have, what you have achieved and they
will be inspired to work on themselves in the same way’
Liz… ‘Sounds as if the
achievement is equanimity’
‘The achievement is
but one more step, one more step towards that what shines bright in the centre
of your being’
Liz… ‘Yes there’s a
lovely saying that what your saying has brought to mind… that life isn’t about
hiding from the storm it’s about learning to dance in the rain’
‘A saying that was
inspired for the very same reason that that light which shines within can
indeed spread itself and shine throughout each part of each person, each mind,
each consciousness. Many have seen, many have made that next step, they have
achieved that next step and they have opened themselves up to further
inspiration’
Liz… ‘It’s very
difficult when one becomes aware even trying to do as you’re saying, how the
bad habits and niggles of aversion, irritations, judgments, anger. All these
negative emotional responses arise quite easily, one can catch oneself caught
up in a situation reacting to it in this limited way. One can be aware of the
negativity of this and of the limitations of those sort of responses and yet
they’re still there even when being aware that these antithetical responses are
not helpful responses to a situation they still arise. I guess the thing is to
be aware of them to observe them but not to hold onto them and perhaps that’s
the trick to lessen their grip by watching them like you watch clouds
dispersing, you see a negative emotion form like a cloud’
‘Recognising that
these emotions do indeed exist and can push you in different directions is the
first step. Then to observe them in practice as they are brought upon yourself,
as you feel yourself in angered situations, in sad situations, recognise these
emotions; recognise how to lift yourself from these emotions. It will be a
difficulty to all on your side’
Liz… ‘Yes, there’s a
tendency to justify them because it’s difficult for somebody who’s on a
spiritual path to catch themselves in what is basically a very unspiritual and
ungenerous state of mind and the human tendency, I catch myself then trying to
justify it by thinking of all the reasons why one should be feeling like that
which isn’t helpful because then you get caught up in a story and this is
happening all the time so I guess the trick is to recognise quickly that that’s
happening and to let go of it’
‘Focus on the present,
do not allow yourself to be drawn back to the past for the past remains in the
past and you are in the present, you are operating in what for you is the
present and your emotion at that time is what…’
Liz… ‘Triggered by
memory… association’
‘It is what you are
working on at that time. You are lifting yourself out of that emotion, you are
recognising that emotion, you are telling yourself that you are in the wrong
state of mind and you are teaching yourself how you can free yourself from that
state of mind’
Liz… ‘Yes, I guess
forgiving oneself is an important component isn’t it’
‘Forgiveness is a very
valuable tool’
Liz… ‘To forgive
others but also to forgive oneself for the lapses’
‘This is the work that
you can undertake; you can work on yourself every moment of every day but see
it as a wonderful opportunity. Be thankful for the negative emotions that you
will feel, they are helping you to understand that you are more than what you
appear to be. There are many circuits that make up your mind, make up the mind
that is immersed in the physical world, circuits that spread out, that connect’
Liz… ‘I suppose the
next question in my mind is what happens to all of that when you’ve let go of
the physical because some of those habits, those thinking habits, must still be
there, must carry on or does one just shed them like an old skin and step out
as a butterfly?’
‘When you leave, when
the physical world is extinguished in your mind you take with you all that you
have achieved. You do not shed what…’
Liz… ‘So you take as
well the negative habits?’
‘If that is what you
have achieved yes. You do not change, you remain the same core energy, there is
no difference yet you will…’
Liz… ‘It’s said that…
people who talked about the afterlife have said that it is far easier for us to
change those bad habits while we are in the physical than it is after we die’
‘The physical world
gives more opportunities to work at this yes. Beyond the physical there is less
opportunity, there is less concentration of opportunity, there is less
structure to work with’
Liz… ‘So in a way the
will power which we have in the physical, that focus of intention, is maybe
slightly diluted… is that what you’re saying?’
‘The will power
remains the same but the structure that the will can work on will fluctuate,
will change its form. You yourself will remain intact with all your qualities,
all your beliefs, all your fears but in a lighter environment, in an
environment where structure is more fluid. You will be unable to work at
releasing the fears and the beliefs. You will be given opportunities to return
to a more structured environment but it is up to you, up to you to see the
advantage or disadvantage of taking on another physical life for there are
other opportunities available to you. Opportunities which you in your current
state of mind cannot fully understand for you are currently fixed in the
framework of your physical world’
Liz… ‘The negative
habits that arise in each individual are they merely the arising and
constructions from this lifetime or are they the product of many previous
lifetimes. Has the soul brought those habits with them, are they echoes from
other lives?’
‘The products of
previous lifetimes remain with you’
Liz… ‘So emotions like
pride or anger or resentment or hatred may actually have echoes from previous
lifetimes, they may be etched into the soul’
‘The products of
previous lifetimes’
Liz… ‘In which case it
would take quite a lot of work and understanding, realisation to release them,
to paint them out as it were’
‘You come to this
life, this physical life with a page from a book, with possibilities that have
been built up from previous lifetimes yet it is up to you to fill in the gaps
of these possibilities’
Liz… ‘I can see the
value for someone who has maybe been very proud, arrogant, dominant,
judgemental in a life to find themselves brought low, humbled, to find
themselves in a situation where all that prestige and pride crumbles, where
they’re suddenly made to feel very small as if they’re stripped naked and
realise that they’re no better or worse than anyone else, maybe even worse.
That could be a way of overcoming that conceit or realising how false that
self-regard was’
‘The human mind has
the ability to recognise in itself the faults that it has built up, the fears
that it has built up and when the opportunity to immerse in a physical world is
brought to it then preparations are made to assist that mind to be subjected to
situations which will help, help that mind to break free of those fears, of
those wrong doings, those mistakes. Situations will be set up’
Liz… ‘To help with the
beginning of wisdom, I guess that is the beginning of wisdom isn’t it to
benefit from those situations and begin to see things as they truly are, warts
and all’
‘There is a great
pretence that governs your world, a great pretence that is subject to interrogation
by the minds of those who have sampled, who have had a taste of many physical
lives. They have grown accustomed to the patterns that are presented during a
journey through a physical life. They have grown tired of the repetitive
situations that are presented time and time again and they have seen the
pretence in this and they have been able to uncover the secret, they have seen
beyond the pretence, the illusion. They have indeed seen the true reality, the
true experience that is happening to all of you. They have taken one layer from
that what blinds you. You too will see your life as the great illusion, a form
of pretence that covers you all, that keeps you all in order yet it allows you
all to walk tall and see the truth. Watch your world, watch your worlds grow
and evolve. See how each moment creates a new way of thinking and grasp that
new way of thinking, hold it, imagine it, take from it that what drives you,
drives you to understand what you truly are. Let go of illusion, take hold of
truth but do not forget those around you for your true purpose is to help each
other. Your own spiritual awareness will only blossom as a result of the help
you can give to others. Think of others, see yourself in others for you are all
one consciousness, one mind, one beautiful reality… Thank you my dear friend.
We have spoken much this evening. We have opened your eyes and the eyes of many
and we wish to continue each week in developing the thoughts of all who inhabit
your physical world. All who have the ears to listen and the eyes to see. The
work you do here has a great benefit to the world and the worlds beyond. Never
forget the importance of your weekly sessions. A light has been turned on and
it will continue to illuminate. You sit in darkness yet you are creating
illumination throughout your world, throughout your universe, throughout many
worlds, worlds within worlds, homes within homes. Create a box and open it,
create a song and then sing it, create a
vision and paint it. Do not let go of your imagination and the possibilities
that lay ahead. There is much to achieve and much has been done, thank you,
take a piece of our love and strengthen the bond of friendship of all who you
meet. May God bless you all, may God keep you all and may God guide you all.
Thank you my dear friend, goodnight to you’
Liz… ‘Goodnight and
God bless you all, thank you’
Liz put the music back on and I was feeling back with it
after a couple of minutes.
Liz then did the closing prayer, sent out healing and did
our closing down exercise.
There was a crackling sound on the recording which started
when the communication began and stopped when the communication finished.
It sounded like static electricity or the scratches on a
record being played.
The recorder sits in a pocket on the inside of the cabinet
curtain to my left. My knees touch the front of the curtains so it’s possible
that my legs that always shake while I’m being controlled caused the recorder
to shake in a way that produced the crackling sound but I sit in the same way and
with the same setup each week and this is the first time the crackling has come
out on the recording…
