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".

As you go more deeply into this realm of no-mind as it is sometimes called in the East you realize the state of pure consciousness. In that state you feel your own presence with such intensity and such joy that all thinking all emotions your physical body as well as the whole external world become relatively insignificant in comparison to it. And yet this is not a selfish but a selfless state. It takes you beyond what you previously thought of as "your self." That presence is essentially you and at the same time inconceivably greater than you. What I am trying to convey here may sound paradoxical or even contradictory but there is no other way that I can express it.

Instead of "watching the thinker you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation. In your everyday life you can practice this by taking any routine activity that normally is only a means to an end and giving it your fullest attention so that it becomes an end in itself. For example every time you walk up and down the stairs in your house or place of work pay close attention to every step every movement even your breathing. Be totally present. Or when you wash your hands pay attention to all the sense perceptions associated with the activity: the sound and feel of the water the movement of your hands the scent of the soap and so on. Or when you get into your car after you close the door pause for a few seconds and observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence. There is one certain criterion by which you can measure your success in this practice: the degree of peace that you feel within.

So the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind the light of your consciousness grows stronger. One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously as your sense of self does not depend on it.

Enlightenment: Rising above Thought

Isn't thinking essential in order to survive in this world?

Your mind is an instrument a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task and when the task is completed you lay it down. As it is I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy. This kind of compulsive thinking is actually an addiction. What characterizes an addiction? Quite simply this: you no longer feel that you have the choice to stop. It seems stronger than you. It also gives you a false sense of pleasure pleasure that invariably turns into pain.

"The moonlit sea vanished and in its place I was looking right into the interior of a reading-room. It seemed as if it had been used as a schoolroom in the daytime and was employed as a reading-room in the evening. I remember seeing one reader who had a curious resemble to Tim Harrington although it [Page 85] was not he hold up a magazine or book in his hand and laugh. It was not a picture - it was there.

"The scene was just as if you were looking through an opera-glass; you saw the play of the muscles the gleaming of the eye every movement of the unknown persons in the unnamed place into which you were gazing. I saw all that without opening my eyes nor did my eyes have anything to do with it. You see such things as these as it were with another sense which is more inside your head than in your eyes.

"This was a very poor and paltry experience but it enabled me to understand better how it is that clairvoyants see than any amount of disquisition.

"The picture were a propos of nothing; they had been suggested by nothing I had been reading or talking of; they simply came as if I had been able to look through a glass at what was occurring somewhere else in the world. I had my peep and then it passed nor have I had a recurrence of a similar experience".

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.
