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 fear as being part of our basic underlying emotional pain. How does fear arise and why is there so much of it in people's lives? And isn't a certain amount of fear just healthy self-protection? If I didn't have a fear of fire I might put my hand in it and get burned.

The reason why you don't put your hand in the fire is not because of fear it's because you know that you'll get burned. You don't need fear to avoid unnecessary danger - just a minimum of intelligence and common sense. For such practical matters it is useful to apply the lessons learned in the past. Now if someone threatened you with fire or with physical violence you might experience something like fear. This is an instinctive shrinking back from danger but not the psychological condition of fear that we are talking about here. The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease worry anxiety nervousness tension dread phobia and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen not of something that is happening now. You are in the here and now while your mind is in the future. This creates an anxiety gap. And if you are identified with your mind and have lost touch with the power and simplicity of the Now that anxiety gap will be your constant companion. You can always cope with the present moment but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future. Moreover as long as you are identified with your mind the ego runs your life as I pointed out earlier. Because of its phantom nature and despite elaborate defense mechanisms the ego is very vulnerable and insecure and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This by the way is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident. Now remember that an emotion is the body's reaction to your mind. What message is the body receiving continuously from the ego the false mind-made self? Danger I am under threat. And what is the emotion generated by this continuous message? Fear of course. Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss fear of failure fear of being hurt and so on but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death of annihilation. To the ego death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state fear of death affects every aspect of your life. For example even such a seemingly trivial and "normal" thing as the compulsive need to be right in an argument and make the other person wrong - defending the mental position with which you have identified - is due to the fear of death. If you identify with a mental position then if you are wrong your mind-based sense of self is seriously threatened with annihilation. So you as the ego cannot afford to be wrong. To be wrong is to die. Wars have been fought over this and countless relationships have broken down. Once you have disidentified from your mind whether you are right or wrong makes no difference to your sense of self at all so the forcefully compulsive and deeply unconscious need to be right which is a form of violence will no longer be there. You can state clearly and firmly how you feel or what you think but there will be no aggressiveness or defensiveness about it. Your sense of self is then derived from a deeper and truer place within yourself not from the mind. Watch out for any kind of defensiveness within yourself. What are you defending? An illusory identity an image in your mind a fictitious entity. By making this pattern conscious by witnessing it you disidentify from it. In the light of your consciousness the unconscious pattern will then quickly dissolve. This is the end of all arguments and power games which are so corrosive to relationships. Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within and it is available to you now. So anyone who is identified with their mind and therefore disconnected from their true power their deeper self rooted in Being will have fear as their constant companion. The number of people who have gone beyond mind is as yet extremely small so you can assume that virtually everyone you meet or know lives in a state of fear. Only the intensity of it varies. It fluctuates between anxiety and dread at one end of the scale and a vague unease and distant sense of threat at the other. Most people become conscious of it only when it takes on one of its more acute forms.

The Ego's Search For Wholeness

Another aspect of the emotional pain that is an intrinsic part of the egoic mind is a deep-seated sense of lack or incompleteness of not being whole. In some people this is conscious in others unconscious. If it is conscious it manifests as the unsettling and constant feeling of not being worthy or good enough. If it is unconscious it will only be felt indirectly as an intense craving wanting and needing. In either case people will often enter into a compulsive pursuit of ego-gratification and things to identify with in order to fill this hole they feel within. So they strive after possessions money success power recognition or a special relationship basically so that they can feel better about themselves feel more complete. But even when they attain all these things they soon find that the hole is still there that it is bottomless. Then they are really in trouble because they cannot delude themselves anymore. Well they can and do but it gets more difficult. As long as the egoic mind is running your life you cannot truly be at ease; you cannot be at peace or fulfilled except for brief intervals when you obtained what you wanted when a craving has just been fulfilled. Since the ego is a derived sense of self it needs to identify with external things. It needs to be both defended and fed constantly. The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions the work you do social status and recognition knowledge and education physical appearance special abilities relationships personal and family history belief systems and often also political nationalistic racial religious and other collective identifications. None of these is you. Do you find this frightening? Or is it a relief to know this? All of these things you will have to relinquish sooner or later. Perhaps you find it as yet hard to believe and I am certainly not asking you to believe that your identity cannot be found in any of those things. You will know the truth of it for yourself. You will know it at the latest when you feel death approaching. Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" - and find that there is no death.

3. MOVING DEEPLY INTO THE NOW

Don't Seek Your Self In The Mind

Clairvoyance Argyll

Mr. Stead regards that as a "poor and paltry experience" and it may perhaps be considered so when compared with the greater possibilities yet I know many students who would be very thankful to have even so much of direct personal experience to tell. Small though it may be in itself it at once gives the seer a clue to the whole thing and clairvoyance would be a living actuality to a man who had seen even that much in a way that it could never have been without that little touch with the unseen world.

These pictures were much too clear to have been [Page 86] mere reflections of the thought of others and besides the description unmistakably shows that they were views seen through an astral telescope; so either Mr. Stead must quite unconsciously have set a current going for himself or (which is much more probable) some kindly astral entity set it in motion for him and gave him to while away a tedious delay any pictures that happened to come handy at the end of the tube. [Page 87]

CHAPTER -7-

CLAIRVOYANCE IN TIME: THE PAST

Clairvoyance in time - that is to say the power of reading the past and the future- is like all the other varieties possessed by different people in very varying degrees ranging from the man who has both faculties fully at his command down to one who only occasionally gets involuntary and very imperfect glimpses or reflections of these scenes of other days. A person of the latter type might have let us say a vision of some event in the past; but it would be liable to the most serious distortion and even if it happened to be fairly accurate it would almost certainly be a mere isolated picture and he would probably be quite unable to relate it to what had occurred before or after it or account for anything unusual which might appear in it. The trained man on the other hand could follow the drama connected with his picture backwards or forwards to any extent that might seem desirable and trace out with equal ease the causes which had led up to it or the results which it in turn would produce.

We shall probably find it easier to grasp this somewhat difficult section of our subject if we consider it in the subdivisions which naturally suggest themselves [Page 88] and deal first with the vision which looks backwards into the past leaving for later examination that which pierces the veil of the future. In each case it will be well for us to try to understand what we can of the modus operandi even though our success can at best be only very modified one owing first to the imperfect information on some parts of the subject at present possessed by our investigators and secondly to the recurring failure of physical words to express a hundred part even of the little we do known about higher planes and faculties.

In the case then of a detailed vision of the remote past how is it obtained and to what plane of Nature does it really belong? The answer to both these questions is contained in the reply that it is read from the âkâshic records; but that statement in return will require a certain amount of explanation for many readers. The word is in truth somewhat of a misnomer for though the records are undoubtedly read from the âkâsha or matter of the mental plane yet it is not to it that they really belong. Still worse is the alternative title records of the astral light which has sometimes been employed for these records lie far beyond the astral plane and all that can be obtained on it are only broken glimpses of a kind of double reflection of them as will presently be explained.
