203rd Sitting 15/12/2016

We had the room setup as usual.

Liz did the opening prayer at 8.10pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

About five minutes later I started to be controlled and Liz turned down the music when she heard the voice starting...

Liz... 'Welcome friend...'

'Good evening, good evening'

Liz... 'Good evening to you'

'Once again we all come through and we all fill your room with our love for we join with you on that loving vibration that you so ably provide for us each time we enter your atmosphere, each time we dip ourselves into this wonderful atmosphere that enables us to once again use the physical voice, vibrate your atmosphere with our words and we try to make our words understandable to you, understandable to all who hear our words, all who read our words'

Liz... 'Thank you friend'

'Much has to be said, much has to be brought through to enable you to get a feeling of what we try to relate to you. Each week we add a little to the previous week, each week we bring more of ourselves into the conversation. We use the words that you understand yet we have much that is not understandable to you which we wish to bring through. In order to do this we need to be very close to the medium, we have to synchronise our thoughts with the mechanism of the physical body. We need to cause the physical body to react to our simulations. As we move in closer we take hold of the... the motors, the very fine tuning of the physical body in how it reacts to the thoughts that are brought to it, thoughts from within, thoughts from afar. All thoughts find their way through and all thoughts have their affect and produce words. We step back when the words become confused for we have much that is misunderstood, we have much information that is misunderstood. When misunderstandings occur we have to step back and allow the words to run their course. It is a fine balance of moving in close but not so close as to confuse, not so close as to produce words which have little benefit on the overall accumulation of knowledge broadcast in this room. All mediumship is a fine balance, all mediumship requires the letting go, letting go of physical thoughts, physical feelings, for these can and do interfere. Throughout this your physical year we have drawn closer each week, we have been able to bring forward information that has caused you to think, caused you to build up a new picture in your own mind about the conditions where we and also you find ourselves for you share our conditions. You are no different from us, only your hold of the physical world causes you to believe that you are different, that you are existing in a different state, a different reality. Your physical reality is one part of our reality yet you choose to hold yourself within that what you perceive. Take a step to one side and stand by your side, take a step forward and stand in front of yourself, take a step backwards and stand behind yourself. Where is your true self? Where is that consciousness? You have many choices to make, you have many decisions to make. Switch your  perspective and see how your decisions will change. You have more than one location for you are not fixed, you are free to roam, free to expand and free to explore'

Liz... 'That's good to know... I guess to hold onto that perspective when we're in the middle, caught up in the problems of everyday life is quite important. A need to take a breath and step back and to the side, forward and behind, to get a sense of the whole trajectory' 

'See the character that you are playing without playing that character and you will get a new perspective, you will see how those niggling troubles of your day are not at all troubles, are merely parts to be played'

Liz... 'I guess we place probably more importance than is warranted on little decisions, on little episodes. We allow those little things sometimes to colour our whole perspective as though they are incredibly important' 

'Understand the benefits of each situation, try to weigh up each situation on its merits, on how beneficial, how much you can learn from each situation and benefit from that situation. Do not repeat actions that have no benefit for your growth. Try to break out of habits, habits that cause you to repeat your reactions to situations as they are brought to you. Those habits are trying to hold you down, trying to keep you grounded in your physical world yet this is not necessary, you can rise above the ground, you can be more beneficial to yourself, to the growth of yourself'

Liz... 'I guess it's important isn't it in any situation when you catch yourself about to react perhaps in an old way, to stop and step back and take a deep breath and reassess whether that reaction is beneficial or not, whether it's helpful'

'The first step is to recognise that reaction as a habit'

Liz... 'Yes'

'Once you have done that then you can proceed to step back as you say, step back from allowing that reaction to affect you'

Liz... 'Yes, I suppose even if you start to react and you catch yourself you can still extricate yourself before it gets too fixed, before you get too sucked in to it. That's quite a skill'

'Yes and the more that you do indeed do this the more it will become a natural way of thinking for you'

Liz... 'Yes and perhaps instead of blaming oneself and feeling guilty because you've fallen back into an old habit the thing is to congratulate yourself that you've recognised it and maybe stepped back before too long'

'Congratulating yourself is beneficial to your growth. Blaming yourself has no benefit to you. Once you begin to drop those habits you will indeed begin to see situations from a new perspective, a stronger perspective, for you are strengthening yourself, you are not allowing yourself to react to the words of others, to the thoughts of others, to the feelings of others. For you can see, you can understand why they have these thoughts and feelings and you can send your love to them, you can build up for them a way of negotiating around those fears that cause those feelings, that cause those thoughts'

Liz... 'Last week friend you spoke of how everything is very simple, everything is really very simple and I wondered whether you could explain what you meant by simple'

'Simplicity is the taking of one step at a time. Simplicity is the breaking down of confusing situations into many component parts, seeing how a complicated situation has built up, seeing what has been added one piece at a time, seeing each piece for what it is, for each piece is itself a simple piece. Simplicity is the component parts of the makeup of your world. Simplicity is being able to recognise the component parts that make up your world, that make up all situations that make up all reactions. The ability to not over complicate your life is the ability to work in a simple way. Is this understandable to you or do you wish me to take it further?'

Liz... 'That's understandable... I suppose my thinking around it stems from complexity theory where it's said we are more than the sum of our component parts, that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, that at a certain level, in biology for example, very simple systems reach a threshold where out of the simple component parts something new and completely different, an altered entity arises and at that point the understanding of the whole requires a different understanding than the holding the whole together. It's seen as something different than all those component parts. I just wondered how that notion of simplicity ties in with all that or are there different levels of simplicity when one is dealing with complex organisms and complex creations, complex patterns. Is simplicity on different levels?'

'The answer to your question involves looking at the simple components, looking at the way they help each other to create something new, something which is not seen until they themselves have been recognised for what they are. Each component has a mind of its own, each component knows its place but each component also recognises that it is supporting something new, something unrecognised by those who see the confusion that the component parts create. There is much that is hidden from your sight, from your perception due to your ability to confuse. You all on your side try to look at singular parts that are merged together and see them as one. You have conditioned your thinking into seeing what you perceive as one part, one larger part, yet that larger part is a combination of parts, a combination of ideas, the thought that has gone into the creation of one object is a combination of thoughts from many minds. Many ideas have been put into that one object and you are seeing the result of many single ideas yet when you break down that one object into the many single ideas a much wider, greater object will slowly become visible to you'

Liz... 'If that is the case does that mean then that reductionist science which seems to break down the complex world into its component parts which looks to simplicity to understand the working of things as parts of a great machine, but that is actually ultimately a very helpful way of finally getting to the truth of our world?'

'The truth of your world can be understood in many ways but the thoughts that have gone into the creation of your world have to be recognised, have to be perceived in the way that they were brought forth into the creation of each physical object. Separate yourself from what you perceive, take that step back and see how that object reflects the light of your world, see how the component parts have added their own light to that what is brought together as one. Your perception can cloud your vision. True perception will show you the true image, true perception is perception seen from many angles. Expand yourself, expand your awareness and observe from all points within your own awareness. Within yourself is the true picture of your world yet you all search from without, you all search beyond yourself. Change that perspective, turn it around, turn it within'

Liz... 'I think the idea that you've expressed as simplicity looking at the component parts, breaking things down to its parts in order to finally come to a completely new way of seeing is very interesting because in a sense I feel that is exactly what science has done although the idea of the reductionist nature of science which has tried to break up the world into smaller pieces to try and understand how they fit together is sometimes seen as belying the reality of things, it has actually led to an understanding of the whole probabilistic and indeterminate nature of reality. Through that reductionist experimentation the world of quantum physics has immerged with all its paradoxes which lead to a completely different understanding of the whole. So from that point of view I can understand what you're saying in part about simplicity'

'There is so much more to be discovered, your scientists are sharing a knowledge which they have within themselves. They are seeing for the first time a larger reality. They will soon understand... they will soon begin to understand that larger reality and the way it relates to themselves and the way that they too are very much a part of that larger reality. It will open up new avenues for them to explore and they will use that information that they find to explain some of what for them are mysteries in science. There is still a long way to go but the first step has been made and once the first step has been made the following steps will come quickly. Your world is setup to share information quickly and that information and those discoveries will spread throughout your world for the benefit of all... thank you, I think a time of music now thank you'

Liz turned the music back up.

After about 15 minutes the communication started again and Liz turned the music down...

'Now we have come to the end once again of our session with you. We have brought forward our words and we feel that they have had their effect on your mind. They have built up within yourself a new understanding, something which you yourself can take from this place and practice within your world for we always try to give you something new, something which will help you to develop your own new ideas, ideas that will strengthen your mind, allow you to face the difficulties in your world, allow you to face up to all that comes to you for your world has much that can be repelled, that can be taken the wrong way. Do not take things the wrong way when you can see the true picture developing from a situation that you find yourself in. Help yourself to understand, speak out and ask for help, there is nothing that you cannot do, that you cannot touch, that you cannot feel. You have all the abilities within yourself to ride above each complicated situation that is presented to you. Work at this each day of your life and see the benefit that envelops you, that opens you up from within, that gives you those ideas... please take from us a piece of our love, take it out into your world, know that it is always with you, know that it is always helping you and know that you can use our love to help those who you meet. Thank you my dear friend, may God bless you and keep you, goodnight'

Liz... 'Goodnight friend and God bless you all'

'Thank you'

Liz put the music back up and I felt back with it after about two minutes.
The control had felt stronger at times this session and during the last communication I had a sensation of floating and bouncing on a jet of air like a ping pong ball.

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