News on Physical Mediumship in your area.

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.  Contact Joan Hughes for advice on sitting in physical circles.

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".

You mentioned that thinking or talking about the past unnecessarily is one of the ways in which we avoid the present. But apart from the past that we remember and perhaps identify with isn't there another level of past within us that is much more deep-seated? I am talking about the unconscious past that conditions our lives especially through early childhood experiences perhaps even past-life experiences. And then there is our cultural conditioning which has to do with where we live geographically and the historical time period in which we live. All these things determine how we see the world how we react what we think what kind of relationships we have how we live our lives. How could we ever become conscious of all that or get rid of it? How long would that take? And even if we did what would there be left?

What is left when illusion ends? There is no need to investigate the unconscious past in you except as it manifests at this moment as a thought an emotion a desire a reaction or an external event that

happens to you. Whatever you need to know about the unconscious past in you the challenges of the present will bring it out. If you delve into the past it will become a bottomless pit: There is always more. You may think that you need more time to understand the past or become free of it in other words that the future will eventually free you of the past. This is a delusion. Only the present can free you of the past. More time cannot free you of time. Access the power of Now. That is the key.

What is the power of Now?

None other than the power of your presence your consciousness liberated from thought forms. So deal with the past on the level of the present. The more attention you give to the past the more you energize it and the more likely you are to make a "self' out of it. Don't misunderstand: Attention is essential but not to the past as past. Give attention to the present; give attention to your behavior to your reactions moods thoughts emotions fears and desires as they occur in the present. There's the past in you. If you can be present enough to watch all those things not critically or analytically but nonjudgmentally then you are dealing with the past and dissolving it through the power of your presence. You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You find yourself by coming into the present.

Isn't it helpful to understand the past and so understand why we do certain things react in certain ways or why we unconsciously create our particular kind of drama patterns in relationships and so on?

Like so many others of our Theosophical terms the word âkâsha has been very loosely used. In some of our earlier books it was considered as synonymous with astral light and in others it was employed to signify any kind [Page 89] of invisible matter from Mulaprakriti down to the physical ether. In later books its use has been restricted to the matter of the mental plane and it is in that sense that the records may be spoken of as âkâshic for although they are not originally made on that plane any more than on the astral yet it is there that we first come definitely into contact with them and find it possible to do reliable work with them.

This subject of the records is by no means an easy one to deal with for it is one of that numerous class which requires for its perfect comprehension faculties of a far higher order than any which humanity has yet evolved. The real solution of its problems lies on planes far beyond any that we can possibly know at present and any view that we take of it must necessarily be of the most imperfect character since we cannot but look at it from below instead of from above. The idea which we form of it must therefore be only partial yet it need not mislead us unless we allow ourselves to think of the tiny fragment which is all that we can see as though it were the perfect whole. If we are careful that such conceptions as we may form shall be accurate as far as they go we shall have nothing to unlearn though much to add when in the course of our further progress we gradually acquire the higher wisdom. Be it understood then at the commencement that a thorough grasp of our subject is an impossibility at the present stage of our evolution and that many points will arise as to which no exact explanation is yet obtainable though it may often be possible to suggest [Page 90] analogies and to indicate the lines along which an explanation must lie.

Let us then try to carry back our thoughts to the beginning of this solar system to which we belong. We are all familiar with the ordinary astronomical theory of its origin - that which is commonly called the nebular hypothesis - according to which it first came into existence as a gigantic glowing nebula of a diameter far exceeding that of the orbit of even the outermost of the planets and then as in the course of countless ages that enormous sphere gradually cooled and contracted the system as we know it was formed.

Occult science accepts that theory in its broad outline as correctly representing the purely physical side of the evolution of our system but it would add that if we confine our attention to this physical side only we shall have a very incomplete and incoherent idea of what really happened. It would postulate to begin with that the exalted Being who undertakes the formation of a system (whom we sometimes call the Logos of the system) first of all forms in his mind a complete conception of the whole of it with all its successive chains of worlds. By the very act of forming that conception He calls the whole into simultaneous objective existence on the plane of His thought - a plane of course far above all those of which we know anything - from which the various globes descend when required into whatever state of further objectivity may be respectively destined for them. Unless we constantly bear in mind this fact of the real existence of the whole system [Page 91] from the very beginning on a higher plane we shall be perpetually misunderstanding the physical evolution which we see taking place down here.

But Occultism has more than this to teach us on the subject. It tells us not only that all this wonderful system to which we belong is called into existence by the Logos both on lower and on higher planes but also that its relation to Him is closer even than that for it is absolutely a part of Him - a partial expression of Him upon the physical plane - and that the movement and energy of the whole system is his energy and is all carried on within the limits of his aura. Stupendous as this conception is it will yet not be wholly unthinkable to those of us who have made any study of the subject of the aura.

We are familiar with the idea that as a person progresses on the upward path his causal body which is the determining limit of his aura distinctly increases in size as well as in luminosity and purity of colour. Many of us know from experience that the aura of a pupil who has already made considerable advance on the Path is very much larger than that of one who is but just setting his foot upon its first step while in the case of an Adept the proportional increase is far greater still. We read in quite exoteric Oriental scriptures of the immense extension of the aura of the Buddha; I think that three miles is mentioned on one occasion as its limit but whatever the exact measurement may be it is obvious that we have here another record of this fact of the extremely rapid growth of the causal body as [Page 92] man passes on his upward way. There can be little doubt that the rate of this growth would itself increase in geometrical progression so that it need not surprise us to hear of an Adept on a still higher level whose aura is capable of including the entire world at once; and from this we may gradually lead our minds up to the conception that there is a Being so exalted as to comprehend within Himself the whole of our solar system. And we should remember that enormous as this seems to us it is but as the tiniest drop in the vast ocean of space.

So of the Logos (who has in Him all the capacities and qualities with which we can possibly endow the highest God we can imagine) it is literally true as was said of old that "of Him and through Him and to Him are all things" and "in Him we live and move and have our being".
