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.

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".

The Buddha says that pain or suffering arises through desire or craving and that to be free of pain we need to cut the bonds of desire.

All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being. As long as I am my mind I am those cravings those needs wants attachments and aversions and apart from them there is no "I" except as a mere possibility an unfulfilled potential a seed that has not yet sprouted. In that state even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don't seek to become free of desire or "achieve" enlightenment. Become present. Be there as the observer of the mind. Instead of quoting the Buddha be the Buddha be "the awakened one which is what the word buddha means. Humans have been in the grip of pain for eons ever since they fell from the state of grace entered the realm of time and mind and lost awareness of Being. At that point they started to perceive themselves as meaningless fragments in an alien universe unconnected to the Source and to each other. Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind which is to say as long as you are unconscious spiritually speaking. I am talking here primarily of emotional pain which is also the main cause of physical pain and physical disease. Resentment hatred self-pity guilt anger depression jealousy and so on even the slightest irritation are all forms of pain. And every pleasure or emotional high contains within itself the seed of pain: its inseparable opposite which will manifest in time. Anybody who has ever taken drugs to get high" will know that the high eventually turns into a low that the pleasure turns into some form of pain. Many people also know from their own experience how easily and quickly an intimate relationship can turn from a source of pleasure to a source of pain. Seen from a higher perspective both the negative and the positive polarities are faces of the same coin are both part of the underlying pain that is inseparable from the mind-identified egoic state of consciousness. There are two levels to your pain: the pain that you create now and the pain from the past that still lives on in your mind and body. Ceasing to create pain in the present and dissolving past pain - this is what I want to talk about now.

2. CONSCIOUSNESS: THE WAY OUT OF PAIN

Create No More Pain In The Present

Nobody's life is entirely free of pain and sorrow. Isn't it a question of learning to live with them rather than trying to avoid them?

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life. The pain that you create now is always some form of non acceptance some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. In other words the more you are identified with your mind the more you suffer. Or you may put it like this: the more you are able to honor and accept the Now the more you are free of pain of suffering - and free of the egoic mind. Why does the mind habitually deny or resist the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time which is past and future so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseparable. Imagine the Earth devoid of human life inhabited only by plants and animals. Would it still have a past and a future? Could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? The question "What time is it?" or "What's the date today?" - if anybody were there to ask it - would be quite meaningless. The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. "What time?" they would ask. "Well of course it's now. The time is now. What else is there?" Yes we need the mind as well as time to function in this world but there comes a point where they take over our lives and this is where dysfunction pain and sorrow set in. The mind to ensure that it remains in control seeks continuously to cover up the present moment with past and future and so as the vitality and infinite creative potential of Being which is inseparable from the Now becomes covered up by time your true nature becomes obscured by the mind. An increasingly heavy burden of time has been accumulating in the human mind. All individuals are suffering under this burden but they also keep adding to it every moment whenever they ignore or deny that precious moment or reduce it to a means of getting to some future moment which only exists in the mind never in actuality. The accumulation of time in the collective and individual human mind also holds a vast amount of residual pain from the past. If you no longer want to create pain for yourself and others if you no longer want to add to the residue of past pain that still lives on in you then don't create any more time or at least no more than is necessary to deal with the practical aspects of your life. How to stop creating time? Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation. Always say "yes" to the present moment. What could be more futile more insane than to create inner resistance to something that already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say "yes" to life - and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.

Well the changes would be many and great; in fact a whole new world would open before his eyes. Let us consider its wonders briefly in the same order as before and see first what difference there would be in the appearance of inanimate objects. On this point I may begin by quoting a recent quaint answer given in The Vâhan .

"There is a distinct difference between etheric sight and astral sight and it is the latter which seems to correspond to the fourth dimension..

"The easiest way to understand he difference is to take an example. If you looked at a man with both the sights in turn you would see the buttons at the back of his coat in both cases; only if you used etheric sight you would see them through him and would see the shank-side as nearest to you but if you looked astrally [Page 33] you would see it not only like that but just as if you were standing behind the man as well.

"Or if you were looking etherically at a wooden cube with writing on all its sides it would be as though the cube were glass so that you could see through it and you would see the writing on the opposite side all backwards while that on the right and left sides would not be clear to you at all unless you moved because you see it edgewise. But if you looked at it astrally you would see all the sides at once and all the right way up as though the whole cube had been flattened out before you and you would see every particle of the inside as well - not through the others but all all flattened out. You would be looking at it from another direction at right angles to all the directions that we know.

"If you look at the back of a watch etherically you see all the wheels through it and the face through them but backwards; if you look at it astrally you see the face right way up and all the wheels lying separately but nothing on the top of anything else."

Here we have at once the keynote the principal factor of the change; the man is looking at everything from an absolutely new point of view entirely outside of anything that he has ever imagined before. He has no longer the slightest difficulty in reading any page in a closed book because he is not now looking at it through all the other pages before it or behind it but is looking straight down upon it as though it were the only page to be seen. The depth at which a vein of [Page 34] metal or of coal may lie is no longer a barrier to his sight of it because he is not now looking through the intervening depth of earth at all. The thickness of a wall or the number of walls intervening between the observer and the object would make a great deal of difference to the clearness of the etheric sight; they would make no difference whatever to the astral sight because on the astral plane they would not intervene between the observer and the object. Of course that sounds paradoxical and impossible and it is quite inexplicable to a mind not specially trained to grasp the idea; yet it is none the less absolutely true.

This carries us straight into the middle of the much-vexed question of the fourth dimension - a question of the deepest interest though one that we cannot pretend to discuss in the space at our disposal. Those who wish to study it as it deserves are recommended to begin with Mr.C.H.Hinton's Scientific Romances or Dr.A.T.Schofield's Another World and then follow on with the former author's larger work A New Era of Thought. Mr. Hinton not only claims to be able himself to grasp mentally some of the simpler fourth dimensional figures but also states that anyone who will take the trouble to follow out his directions may with perseverance acquire that mental grasp likewise. I am not certain that the power to do this is within the reach of everyone as he thinks for it appears to me to require considerable mathematical ability; but I can at any rate bear witness that he tesseract or fourth-dimensional cube which he describes is a [Page 35] reality for it is quite a familiar figure upon the astral plane.
