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...

261st Sitting 25/09/2018
We had the room setup as usual.
Liz did the opening prayer at 8.35, turned out the light and put the music on...
Liz then noticed what was probably an aftereffect of turning off the light with her eyes open or closed.
She saw a deep reddish-brown background with black blotches and dots all over it with no particular pattern.
She then noticed various diagonal bands of bright light on top of this, like looking at waves.
They formed different patterns, some like birds' wings, some zig-zag and some straight lines.
I drifted in and out of sleep for about one hour.
I remembered at times going down into some sort of white tunnel.
Just before I started to be controlled Liz felt herself focusing in on me and tuning into a spiritual contact, a spiritual vibrational level.
When the communication started Liz turned down the music...
‘Good evening, good evening...’
Liz... ‘Good evening friend, welcome’
‘Once again we all gather, we all step into your world and you step into our world. We meet, we build a bridge of communication that enables us to speak in your world, speak with the voice of the medium, giving you answers, giving you information that you can think about, guidance for your life, help with your understanding’
‘The purpose of communication, spiritual communication is to ignite in you an interest, an interest to discover more about yourself and about the world that you live in for there is much that you still do not understand in your own world and your world is a reflection of all worlds, of all of reality. Once you understand the world in which you live you will understand so much more and you will understand yourself. Each day of your life is an opportunity to understanding, an opportunity for you to use your abilities in a world created for you, a world designed for each individual that inhabits that world for each individual has come into your world with a purpose, with prior knowledge yet that prior knowledge is shielded from you until you can understand yourself. Until then you walk blindly through a world unfamiliar to you yet at the same time you can sense a meaning for your life. Take your time to allow that feeling to penetrate into your life, allow it to open your eyes, allow it to clear the fog, allow it to enable you to see your place in your world and understand the part that you play’
‘The world that you inhabit is a world of beauty, the world that you inhabit is a perfect world yet you also see the imperfections in your world but there will become a time when you will no longer see those imperfections for those imperfections will be seen as opportunities to grow, as opportunities to change your world and change yourself. When you see darkness in your world, when you see pain in your world, when you see confusion in your world you are reacting, you are interpreting a perfect world with a mind that is not fully engaged, that is not free of the restrictions. If you simplify the way you understand that what you perceive as confusion and pain and darkness, if you look at those situations with a simplified mind, free from the added interpretations you make yourself, merely see it as it is and you will begin to understand how you can learn, how you can grow, how you can use that situation to your own advantage and the advantage of others. Is this understandable to you?’
Liz... ‘Yes... yes it is’
‘You are causing your own complications and you are creating the darkness and the perception of pain in your world. You are the creators yet you believe what you see is caused by the conditions of your world. Try to understand that the conditions of your world are in perfect harmony. There is nothing dark or confusing in your world, you have that confusion in yourself, you have built up that confusion in yourself and it is blinding you from the beauty of your world, it is blinding you from those opportunities that are waiting for you. Take time to quieten your mind each day, look back at that what you have done, look back at that what you felt for that what you feel within yourself will tell you where to... will tell you how to improve yourself, how to adjust the way you perceive. There are many ways of looking at your life and each individual has created their own way from their experiences in this life and in other lives and as you grow you will see that there is more than one way to perceive. Watch how others react to the same situation for you are all interpreting in your own way. As you grow you will see more in each situation and you will see the opportunities. Take one step beyond the physical world and your mind will begin to react to that what surrounds you’
Liz... ‘When you say take one step beyond the physical world can you explain what you mean by that?’
‘As you live your daily life immersed in this physical world you take that what you see to be the reality of your world and you see no way that that can be altered yet if you can imagine yourself taking a step beyond that what you see you will change the way that you perceive your world’
Liz... ‘So what must one do to take that step, what sort of technique or exercise will help us to do that?’
‘Try to understand that what you see, try to understand that it is a product of your own creation. If you take one step forward beyond that what you have created it will enable you to create more, to use your imagination’
Liz... ‘So when you say take one step from your physical world you are referring to using your imagination’
‘Allow your imagination to change that what you perceive, allow your imagination to alter that what you perceive in such a way that your interpretation of that will change. If you are presented with a situation, a dark situation, a situation where you perceive pain and confusion, allow your mind to modify that situation, allow your imagination to modify and create a new situation’
Liz... ‘So when you are saying to transform a situation, for example if you are caught up in some civil unrest or even a war situation where people are being very violent, abusive and angry. If you are actually physically caught up in that situation inadvertently for example you find yourself in the vicinity of an act of terrorism where there is a lot of fear and confusion and a lot of suffering and injury. How will it help you to imagine that that situation isn’t there, that everybody is being healed, there is no angry terrorist causing turmoil. How would one do that when you are actually in a physical situation of darkness’
‘You can stop yourself adding to the darkness and hurt of that situation by the way you interpret that situation. When you are confronted with a situation such as this your natural reaction is to see the negativity that is being...’
Liz... ‘You mean to be very upset and angry’
‘You are allowing that negativity to react on yourself yes’
Liz... ‘Okay, so if you... obviously that would be a first reaction, that would be one of your emotions, but if you try and transfer that into a healing modality so that you send out healing thoughts to those that are injured, you send out healing thoughts to the angry perpetrators of the violence, you consciously attune yourself to a vibrational level of love and of peace to an understanding of a higher reality, to a larger perspective, you attune yourself to a spiritual vibrational level and ask for healing. Is that the sort of step that you are referring to where you actively try and raise your vibrational level to be in a more harmonious and healing state
‘You are creating a new situation by the way you interpret that what you see. You are no longer adding to the negativity of that situation. Each person involved in a situation such as this has a choice in how they react to that what they interpret. If you can understand the reason for that situation to arise, if you can understand the thoughts of the perpetrator, those who are causing that situation, if you can understand why they do what they do, understand the part that they are playing in your world, you will see that their understanding of life is affected by their own interpretation of life that goes on in their mind, in their reality, in their own created reality. If you react to what they do in a negative way you are adding to that what they are creating. You all add to the creation of your world in your own way and if you can take each situation, understand that situation and give love and positivity to that situation, understand the situation for what it really is in its simplified form it will enable you to lighten the darkness, to bring healing to a situation that could be so much more damaging to all who are affected by that situation’
Liz... ‘So the way I understanding it... you are saying, when you say take a step away from your physical world you are really referring to taking on a more transcendent point of view, seeing things from a larger perspective in which your understanding is increased and you see things from many points of view. That's what I refer to as a transcendent view’
‘Yes, and you can do this by simplifying the situation, by seeing the situation in a simple way for life is to be lived in a simple way free from confusion. This will allow you to understand each personality that shares your world but first you need to understand yourself, understand how you too can add to the confusion and understand how you can improve yourself each day of your life’
Liz... ‘In having the ability to take a step away from the physical in order to gain a greater perspective, an ability to recreate things in a more perfect way, would the various techniques associated with out of body experiencing and lucid dreaming, actively expanding one's consciousness in those ways, loosening the grip of the physical, allowing one to experience directly different vibrational levels, non-physical reality, will that help to develop that more creative outlook on life?’
‘It will help in your understanding that the physical world is but one small reality within a greater reality, it will enable you to experience more and you can bring that experience back into your physical world and use it to help you interpret each situation. It will help you to understand that you exist beyond that what you perceive, it will help you to understand that you are not merely a physical being in a physical world, that you are so much more and when your awareness is widened you can use that to view situations from a wider perspective, you will not merely see a physical situation as a physical situation, you will see it expanded into all of reality. Stand above yourself, stand by your side, see your world from many angles. There is nothing stopping you from exploring all of life, all of consciousness. When you are ready you will understand and you will use this understanding to create a better world, a better physical world’
Liz... ‘There are many techniques that are available for people to try and do this but I guess not all of these techniques are right for a particular individual and it may be that there are some techniques that are better for some individuals than others, I'm thinking of techniques like meditation, yoga, astral projection, lucid dreaming, dream yoga’
‘Each person is unique but sometimes there is no need for techniques for just a positive outlook on life can project you outside of your world. Living a life seeing things in a positive way, thinking of others is sometimes enough to allow you to reach out into that what surrounds your world’
Liz... ‘I see... you are suggesting that a spirit of goodness, a sort of desire or inclination towards positivity, towards goodness, towards benefit in itself can lead you to attune to a more spiritual reality’
‘This will help for it is a natural reaction, as you live your life in a positive way you will begin to see the workings of your world. You will indeed be out of your body, you will no longer require the restriction of a physical mind connected to a physical body for your mind will be open, you will be projecting love out into your world, you will be lightening up your world and you will see that what you do not see now. Your perception will widen and you will become connected with all of life, all of consciousness. You are already connected but you are holding yourself into this world of physical matter, seeing it as a place of negativity when it is a place of love. You have to change yourself to change your world and you are doing this, you are bringing love into your world and into yourself and all the time that you live your life in this way you are removing the mists and you are seeing clearly and you will find yourself in a larger reality able to create a wonderful world, a wonderful reality'
Liz... ’So for many people what you are advocating they find by following a religious path, by following a particular religion, many of the religions have ethical guidelines and Buddhism has a very well described pathway for the alleviation of suffering, a pathway leading from suffering to a higher state of consciousness by following a path of self-discovery and self-realisation by becoming aware of all those things that hold us to the negativities and transforming or transmuting those states of being into more positive states to well defined and ethical pathway for transforming the negativities that are inherent in each of us and in society into their more positive modes of being, modes of perceiving, modes of acting, modes of feeling. But for those that don’t have a particular religion or a particular spiritual pathway to help them... I guess what you are saying is that they need to find in themselves the motivation to align themselves with love and positivity’
‘Each person has the power within themselves to bring love into your world, for life is love’
Liz... ‘For a person that is... I guess even a person that is quite severely depressed can still understand that and can work towards that’
‘Each person has that light within themselves but they have a choice, they have that choice to use that love or to be guided by the negativities that they perceive in your world. As time goes by they will evolve, they will grow, they will see the advantages of using that light within themselves to spread love out into your world’
Liz... ‘I guess hearing that pathway advocated by you is useful for reinforcing that possibility, it’s very easy to get sucked in to the negativities and to lose sight of that other possible pathway which is always there. So thank you for your words of encouragement and of the reminder of that positive pathway that’s available for all of us if we choose to take it’
‘And thank you for your questions for without questions learning cannot happen. Always question all that you can see and you will build up a greater understanding of each situation in each day of your life. Thank you, thank you my dear friend, we have reached the end of our session this evening. We hope our answers will help you and help others for this is what... this is why we speak to you in this way for we too wish a world to change, to grow, to become a place of love and understanding for each individual. Please take from us a piece of our love, use that love to brighten up your world and brighten up the perceptions of all who inhabit your world. May God bless and keep you all, goodnight to you, thank you’
Liz... ‘Goodnight friend and thank you’

I felt back with it after about 30 seconds.
Liz then did the closing prayer, sent out healing and did our closing down exercise...
