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".

When you say Being are you talking about God? If you are then why don't you say it?

The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes but I do so sparingly. By misuse I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred the infinite vastness behind that word use it with great conviction as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it as if they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs assertions and egoic delusions such as "My or our God is the only true God and your God is false or Nietzsche's famous statement God is dead."

The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered a mental image is created no longer perhaps of an old man with a white beard but still a mental representation of someone or something outside you and yes almost inevitably a male someone or something.

Neither God nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience That toward which it points. Does it point beyond itself to that transcendental reality or does it lend itself too easily to becoming no more than an idea in your head that you believe in a mental idol?

The word Being explains nothing but nor does God. Being however has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence the realization I am that is prior to I am this or I am that. So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.

What is the greatest obstacle to experiencing this reality?

But even this is by no means all that it gives to its possessor. He see not only the inside as well as the outside of every object but also its astral counterpart. [Page 36] Every atom and molecule of physical matter has its corresponding astral atoms and molecules and the mass which is built up out of these is clearly visible to our clairvoyant. Usually the astral part of any object projects somewhat beyond the physical part of it and thus metals stones and other things are seen surrounded by an astral aura.

It will be seen at once that even in the study of inorganic matter a man gains immensely by the acquisition of this vision. Not only does he see the astral part of the object at which he looks which before was wholly hidden from him; not only does he see much more of its physical constitution than he did before but even what was visible to him before is now seen much more clearly and truly. A moment's consideration will show that his new vision approximates much more closely to true perception than does physical sight. For example if he looks astrally at a glass cube its sides will all appear equal as we know they really are whereas on the physical plane he sees the further side in perspective - that is it appears smaller than the nearer side which is of course a mere illusion due to his physical limitations.

When we come to consider the additional facilities which it offers in the observation of animate objects we see still more clearly the advantages of the astral vision. It exhibits to the clairvoyant the aura of plants and animals and thus in the case of the latter their desires and emotions and whatever thoughts they may have are all plainly shown before his eyes. [Page 37]

But it is in dealing with human beings that he will most appreciate the value of this faculty for he will often be able to help them far more effectually when he guides himself by the information which it gives him.

He will be able to see the aura as far up as the astral body and though that leaves all the higher part of a man still hidden from his gaze he will nevertheless find it possible by careful observation to learn a good deal about the higher part form what is within his reach. His capacity of examining the etheric double will give him considerable advantage in locating and classifying any defects or diseases of the nervous system while from the appearance of the astral body he will be at once aware of all the emotions passions desires and tendencies of the man before him and even of very many of his thoughts also.

As he looks at a person he will see him surrounded by the luminous mists of the astral aura flashing with all sorts of brilliant colours and constantly changing in hue and brilliancy with every variation of the person's thoughts and feelings. He will see this aura flooded with the beautiful rose-colour of pure affection the rich blue of devotional feeling the hard dull brown of selfishness the deep scarlet of angers the horrible lurid red of sensuality the livid grey of fear the black clouds of hatred and malice or any of the other hundredfold indications so easily to be read in it by a practiced eye; and thus it will be impossible for any persons to conceal from him the real state of their feelings on any subject. [Page 38]

These varied indications of the aura are of themselves a study of very deep interest but I have no space to deal with them in detail here. A much fuller account of them together with a number of coloured illustrations will be found in my pamphlet on "The Aura" and the larger work on the subject "Man Visible and Invisible".
