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.

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".

Enlightenment - what is that?

A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you said the stranger. Then he asked: What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing replied the beggar. Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No said the beggar. What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment disbelief and elation he saw that the box was filled with gold.

I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box as in the parable but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.

But I am not a beggar I can hear you say.

Those who have not found their true wealth which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep unshakable peace that comes with it are beggars even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment for validation security or love while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some super-human accomplishment and the ego likes to keep it that way but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible something that almost paradoxically is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form. The inability to feel this connectedness gives rise to the illusion of separation from yourself and from the world around you. You then perceive yourself consciously or unconsciously as an isolated fragment. Fear arises and conflict within and without becomes the norm.

2- By means of an astral current. This is a phrase [Page 55] frequently and rather loosely employed in some of our Theosophical literature to cover a considerable variety of phenomena and among others that which I wish to explain. What is really done by the student who adopts this method is not so much the setting in motion of a current in astral matter as the erection of a kind of temporary telephone through it.

It is impossible here to give an exhaustive disquisition on astral physics even had I the requisite knowledge to write it; all I need say is that it is possible to make in astral matter a definite connecting-line that shall act as a telegraph-wire to convey vibrations by means of which all that is going on at the other end of it may be seen. Such a line is established be it understood not by a direct projection through space of astral matter but by such action upon a line (or rather many lines) of particles of that matter as will render them capable of forming a conductor for vibrations of the character required.

This preliminary action can be set up in two ways - either by the transmission of energy from particle to particle until the line is formed or by the use of a force from a higher plane which is capable of acting upon the whole line simultaneously. Of course this latter method implies far greater development since it involves the knowledge of (and the power to use) forces of a considerably higher level; so that the man who could make his line in this way would not for his own use need a line at all since he could see far more easily and completely by means of an altogether higher faculty. [Page 56]

Even the simpler and purely astral operation is a difficult one to describe though quite an easy one to perform. It may be said to partake somewhat of the nature of the magnetization of a bar of steel; for it consists in what we might call the polarization by an effort of the human will of a number of parallel lines of astral atoms reaching from the operator to the scene which he wishes to observe. All the atoms thus affected are held for the time with their axes rigidly parallel to one another so that they form a kind of temporary tube along which the clairvoyant may look. This method has the disadvantage that the telegraph line is liable to disarrangement or even destruction by any sufficiently strong astral current which happens to cross its path; but if the original effort of will were fairly definite this would be a contingency of only infrequent occurrence.

The view of a distant scene obtained by means of this "astral current" is in many ways not unlike that seen through a telescope. Human figures usually appear very small like those on a distance stage but in spite of their diminutive size they are as clear as though they were close by. Sometimes it is possible by this means to hear what is said as well as to see what is done; but as in the majority of cases this does not happen we must consider it rather as the manifestation of an additional power than as a necessary corollary of the faculty of sight.

It will be observed that in this case the seer does not usually leave his physical body at all; there is no sort [Page 57] of projection of his astral vehicle or of any part of himself towards that at which he is looking but he simply manufactures for himself a temporary astral telescope. Consequently he has to a certain extent the use of his physical powers even while he is examining the distant scene; for example his voice would usually still be under his control so that he could describe what he saw even while he was in the act of making his observations. The consciousness of the man is in fact distinctly still at this end of the line.

This fact however has its limitations as well as its advantages and these again largely resemble the limitations of the man using a telescope on the physical plane. The experimenter for example has no power to shift this point of view; his telescope so to speak has a particular field of view which cannot be enlarged or altered; he is looking at his scene from a certain direction and he cannot suddenly turn it all round and see how it looks from the other side. If he has sufficient psychic energy to spare he may drop altogether the telescope that he is using and manufacture an entirely new one for himself which will approach his objective somewhat differently; but this is not a course at all likely to be adopted in practice.
