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".

Because you believe that you would cease to be if you stopped thinking. As you grow up you form a mental image of who you are based on your personal and cultural conditioning. We may call this phantom self the ego. It consists of mind activity and can only be kept going through constant thinking. The term ego means different things to different people but when I use it here it means a false self created by unconscious identification with the mind.

To the ego the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive because without it - who are you? It constantly projects itself into the future to ensure its continued survival and to seek some kind of release or fulfillment there. It says: "One day when this that or the other happens I am going to be okay happy at peace." Even when the ego seems to be concerned with the present it is not the present that it sees: It misperceives it completely because it looks at it through the eyes of the past. Or it reduces the present to a means to an end an end that always lies in the mind-projected future. Observe your mind and you'll see that this is how it works.

The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.

I don't want to lose my ability to analyze and discriminate. I wouldn't mind learning to think more clearly in a more focused way but I don't want to lose my mind. The gift of thought is the most precious thing we have. Without it we would just be another species of animal.

The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency; otherwise we will be destroyed by the mind which has grown into a monster. I will talk about this in more detail later. Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous. Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness but consciousness does not need thought.

Enlightenment means rising above thought not falling back to a level below thought the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state you still use your thinking mind when needed but in a much more focused and effective way than before. You use it mostly for practical purposes but you are free of the involuntary internal dialogue and there is inner stillness. When you do use your mind and particularly when a creative solution is needed you oscillate every few minutes or so between thought and stillness between mind and no-mind. No-mind is consciousness without thought. Only in that way is it possible to think creatively because only in that way does thought have any real power. Thought alone when it is no longer connected with the much vaster realm of consciousness quickly becomes barren insane destructive.

As a matter of fact there exist vibrations of every conceivable degree of rapidity filling the whole vast space intervening between the slow sound waves and the swift light waves; nor is even that all for there are undoubtedly vibrations slower than those of sound and a whole infinity of them which are swifter than those know to us as light. So we begin to understand that the vibrations by which we see and hear are only like two tiny groups of a few strings selected from an enormous harp of practically infinite extent and when we think how much we have been able to learn and infer from the use of those minute fragments we see vaguely what possibilities might lie before us if we were enabled to utilize the vast and wonderful whole.

Another fact which needs to be considered in this connection is that different human beings vary considerably though within relatively narrow limits in their capacity of response even to the very few vibrations which are within reach of our physical senses. I am not referring to the keenness of sight or of hearing that enables one man to see a fainter object or hear a slighter sound than another; it is not in the least a question of strength of vision but of extent of susceptibility.

For example if anyone will take a good bisulphide-of-carbon prism and by its means throw a clear spectrum [Page 10] on a sheet of white paper and then get a number of people to mark upon the paper the extreme limits of the spectrum as it appears to them he is fairly certain to find that their powers of vision differ appreciably. Some will see the violet extending much farther than the majority do; others will perhaps see rather less violet than most while gaining a corresponding extension of vision at the red end. Some few there will perhaps be who can see farther than ordinary at both ends and these will almost certainly be what we call sensitive people - susceptible in fact to a great range of vibrations than are most men of the present day.

In hearing the same difference can be tested by taking some sound which is just not too high to be audible - on the very verge of audibility as it were - and discovering how many among a given number of people re able to hear it. The squeaks of a bat is a familiar instance of such a sound and experiment will show that on a summer evening when the whole air is full of the shrill needle-like cries of these little animals quite a large number of men will be absolutely unconscious of them and unable to hear anything at all.

Now these examples clearly show that there is no hard-and-fast limit to man's power of response to either etheric or aerial vibrations but that some among us already have that power to a wider extent than others; and it will even be found that the same man's capacity varies on different occasions. It is therefore not difficult for us to imagine that it might be possible for a man to develop this power and thus in time to [Page 11] learn to see much that is invisible to his fellow-men and hear much that is inaudible to them since we know perfectly well that enormous numbers of these additional vibrations do exist and are simply as it were awaiting recognition.

The experiments with the Röntgen rays give us an example of the startling results which are produced when even a very few of these additional vibrations are brought within human ken and the transparency to these rays of many substances hitherto considered opaque at once shows us one way at least in which we may explain such elementary clairvoyance as is involved in reading a letter inside a closed box or describing those present in an adjoining apartment. To learn to see by means of the Röntgen rays in addition to those ordinarily employed would be quite sufficient to enable anyone to perform a feat of magic of this order.

So far we have thought only of an extension of the purely physical senses of man; and when we remember that a man's etheric body is in reality merely the finer part of his physical frame and that therefore all his sense-organs contain a large amount of etheric matter of various degrees of density the capacities of which are still practically latent in most of us we shall see that even if we confine ourselves to this line of development alone there are enormous possibilities of all kinds already opening out before us.
