Pathway to Spirit via Joan Hughes is committed to promoting physical mediumship. Over the coming months we intend to expand the website to include articles on physical mediums some well known for example and other mediums less well know. These county pages will be devoted to local groups where physical mediumship is of interest and also provide a place for publication of physical circle activity. Please feel free to send us an update from you circle's activities and let us have any news or articles you think relevant to physical mediumship.

Notice Board for this Area Nothing to post for this area as yet. In the meantime here is an extract from one of my favorite books "The Power of Now".
Unless and until you access the consciousness frequency of presence all relationships and particularly intimate relationships are deeply flawed and ultimately dysfunctional. They may seem perfect for a while such as when you are "in love but invariably that apparent perfection gets disrupted as arguments conflicts dissatisfaction and emotional or even physical violence occur with increasing frequency. It seems that most love relationships" become love/hate relationships before long. Love can then turn into savage attack feelings of hostility or complete withdrawal of affection at the flick of a switch. This is considered normal. The relationship then oscillates for a while a few months or a few years between the polarities of "love" and hate and it gives you as much pleasure as it gives you pain. It is not uncommon for couples to become addicted to those cycles. Their drama makes them feel alive. When a balance between the positive/ negative polarities is lost and the negative destructive cycles occur with increasing frequency and intensity which tends to happen sooner or later then it will not be long before the relationship finally collapses. It may appear that if you could only eliminate the negative or destructive cycles then all would be well and the relationship would flower beautifully - but alas this is not possible. The polarities are mutually interdependent. You cannot have one without the other. The positive already contains within itself the as yet unmanifested negative. Both are in fact different aspects of the same dysfunction. I am speaking here of what is commonly called romantic relationships - not of true love which has no opposite because it arises from beyond the mind. Love as a continuous state is as yet very rare as rare as conscious human beings. Brief and elusive glimpses of love however are possible whenever there is a gap in the stream of mind. The negative side of a relationship is of course more easily recognizable as dysfunctional than the positive one. And it is also easier to recognize the source of negativity in your partner than to see it in yourself. It can manifest in many forms: possessiveness jealousy control withdrawal and unspoken resentment the need to be right insensitivity and self-absorption emotional demands and manipulation the urge to argue criticize judge blame or attack anger unconscious revenge for past pain inflicted by a parent rage and physical violence. On the positive side you are "in love" with your partner. This is at first a deeply satisfying state. You feel intensely alive. Your existence has suddenly become meaningful because someone needs you wants you and makes you feel special and you do the same for him or her. When you are together you feel whole. The feeling can become so intense that the rest of the world fades into insignificance. However you may also have noticed that there is a neediness and a clinging quality to that intensity. You become addicted to the other person. He or she acts on you like a drug. You are on a high when the drug is available but even the possibility or the thought that he or she might no longer be there for you can lead to jealousy possessiveness attempts at manipulation through emotional blackmail blaming and accusing - fear of loss. If the other person does leave you this can give rise to the most intense hostility or the most profound grief and despair. In an instant loving tenderness can turn into a savage attack or dreadful grief. Where is the love now? Can love change into its opposite in an instant? Was it love in the first place or just an addictive grasping and clinging? Addiction And The Search For Wholeness Why should we become addicted to another person? The reason why the romantic love relationship is such an intense and universally sought-after experience is that it seems to offer liberation from a deep-seated state of fear need lack and incompleteness that is part of the human condition in its unredeemed and unenlightened state. There is a physical as well as a psychological dimension to this state. On the physical level you are obviously not whole nor will you ever be: You are either a man or a woman which is to say one-half of the whole. On this level the longing for wholeness - the return to oneness - manifests as male-female attraction man's need for a woman woman's need for a man. It is an almost irresistible urge for union with the opposite energy polarity. The root of this physical urge is a spiritual one: the longing for an end to duality a return to the state of wholeness. Sexual union is the closest you can get to this state on the physical level. This is why it is the most deeply satisfying experience the physical realm can offer. But sexual union is no more than a fleeting glimpse of wholeness an instant of bliss. As long as it is unconsciously sought as a means of salvation you are seeking the end of duality on the level of form where it cannot be found. You are given a tantalizing glimpse of heaven but you are not allowed to dwell there and find yourself again in a separate body. On the psychological level the sense of lack and incompleteness is if anything even greater than on the physical level. As long as you are identified with the mind you have an externally derived sense of self. That is to say you get your sense of who you are from things that ultimately have nothing to do with who you are: your social role possessions external appearance successes and failures belief systems and so on. This false mind-made self the ego feels vulnerable insecure and is always seeking new things to identify with to give it a feeling that it exists. But nothing is ever enough to give it lasting fulfillment. Its fear remains; its sense of lack and neediness remains. But then that special relationship comes along. It seems to he the answer to all the ego's problems and to meet all its needs. At least this is how it appears at first. All the other things that you derived your sense of self from before now become relatively insignificant. You now have a single focal point that replaces them all gives meaning to your life and through which you define your identity. the person you are "in love" with. You are no longer a disconnected fragment in an uncaring universe or so it seems. Your world now has a center: the loved one. The fact that the center is outside you and that therefore you still have an externally derived sense of self does not seem to matter at first. What matters is that the underlying feelings of incompleteness of fear lack and unfulfillment so characteristic of the egoic state are no longer there - or are they? Have they dissolved or do they continue to exist underneath the happy surface reality? If in your relationships you experience both "love" and the opposite of love - attack emotional violence and so on - then it is likely that you are confusing ego attachment and addictive clinging with love. You cannot love your partner one moment and attack him or her the next. True love has no opposite. If your "love" has an opposite then it is not love but a strong ego-need for a more complete and deeper sense of self a need that the other person temporarily meets. It is the ego's substitute for salvation and for a short time it almost does feel like salvation. But there comes a point when your partner behaves in ways that fail to meet your needs or rather those of your ego. The feelings of fear pain and lack that are an intrinsic part of egoic consciousness but had been covered up by the "love relationship" now resurface. Just as with every other addiction you are on a high when the drug is available but invariably there comes a time when the drug no longer works for you. When those painful feelings reappear you feel them even more strongly than before and what is more you now perceive your partner as the cause of those feelings. This means that you project them outward and attack the other with all the savage violence that is part of your pain. This attack may awaken the partner's own pain and he or she may counter your attack. At this point the ego is still unconsciously hoping that its attack or its attempts at manipulation will be sufficient punishment to induce your partner to change their behavior so that it can use them again as a cover-up for your pain. Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and move through your own pain. Every addiction starts with pain and ends with pain. Whatever the substance you are addicted to - alcohol food legal or illegal drugs or a person - you are using something or somebody to cover up your pain. That is why after the initial euphoria has passed there is so much unhappiness so much pain in intimate relationships. They do not cause pain and unhappiness. They bring out the pain and unhappiness that is already in you. Every addiction does that. Every addiction reaches a point where it does not work for you anymore and then you feel the pain more intensely than ever. This is one reason why most people are always trying to escape from the present moment and are seeking some kind of salvation in the future. The first thing that they might encounter if they focused their attention on the Now is their own pain and this is what they fear. If they only knew how easy it is to access in the Now the power of presence that dissolves the past and its pain the reality that dissolves the illusion. If they only knew how close they are to their own reality how close to God. Clairvoyance Leicestershire
Extracts from J W Leadbeaters "Clairvoyance'. On the buddhic plane we meet for the first time with a quite new faculty having nothing in common with those of which we have spoken for there a man cognizes any object by an entirely different method in which external vibrations play no part. The object becomes part of himself and he studies it from the inside instead of from the outside. But with this power ordinary clairvoyance has nothing to do. The development either entire or partial of any one of these faculties would come under our definition of clairvoyance - the power to see what is hidden from ordinary physical sight. But these faculties may be developed in various ways and it will be well to say a few words as to these different lines. We may presume that if it were possible for a man to be isolated during his evolution from all but the gentlest outside influences and to unfold from the beginning [Page 18] in perfectly regular and normal fashion he would probably develop his senses in regular order also. He would find his physical senses gradually extending their scope until they responded to all the physical vibrations of etheric as well as of denser matter; then in orderly sequence would come sensibility to the coarser part of the astral plane and presently the finer part also would be included until in due course the faculty of the mental plane dawned in its turn. In real life however development so regular as this is hardly ever known and many a man has occasional flashes of astral consciousness without any awakening of etheric vision at all. And this irregularity of development is one of the principal causes of man's extraordinary liability to error in matters of clairvoyance - a liability from which there is no escape except by a long course of careful training under a qualified teacher. Students of Theosophical literature are well aware that there are such teachers to be found - that even in this materialistic nineteenth century the old saying is still true that "when the pupil is ready the Master is ready also" and that "in the hall of learning when he is capable of entering there the disciple will always find his Master". They are well aware also that only under such guidance can a man develop his latent powers in safety and with certainty since they know how fatally easy it is for the untrained clairvoyant to deceive himself as to the meaning and value of what he sees or even absolutely to distort his vision completely in bringing it down into his physical consciousness. [Page 19] It does not follow that even the pupil who is receiving regular instruction in the use of occult powers will find them unfolding themselves exactly in the regular order which was suggested above as probably idea. His previous progress may not have been such as to make this for him the easiest or most desirable road; but at any rate he is in the hands of one who is perfectly competent to be his guide in spiritual development and he rests in perfect contentment that the way along which he is taken will be that which is the best way for him. Another great advantage which he gains is that whatever faculties he may acquire are definitely under his command and can be used fully and constantly when he needs them for his Theosophical work; whereas in the case of the untrained man such powers often manifest themselves only very partially and spasmodically and appear to come and go as it were at their own sweet will.
