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".

You have probably come across "mad" people in the street incessantly talking or muttering to themselves. Well that's not much different from what you and all other "normal" people do except that you don't do it out loud. The voice comments speculates judges compares complains likes dislikes and so on. The voice isn't necessarily relevant to the situation you find yourself in at the time; it may be reviving the recent or distant past or rehearsing or imagining possible future situations. Here it often imagines things going wrong and negative outcomes; this is called worry. Sometimes this soundtrack is accompanied by visual images or "mental movies." Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand it will interpret it in terms of the past. This is because the voice belongs to your conditioned mind which is the result of all your past history as well as of the collective cultural mind-set you inherited. So you see and judge the present through the eyes of the past and get a totally distorted view of it. It is not uncommon for the voice to be a person's own worst enemy. Many people live with a tormentor in their head that continuously attacks and punishes them and drains them of vital energy. It is the cause of untold misery and unhappiness as well as of disease.

The good news is that you can free yourself from your mind. This is the only true liberation. You can take the first step right now. Start listening to the voice in your head as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns those old gramophone records that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years. This is what I mean by "watching the thinker which is another way of saying: listen to the voice in your head be there as the witnessing presence.

When you listen to that voice listen to it impartially. That is to say do not judge. Do not judge or condemn what you hear for doing so would mean that the same voice has come in again through the back door. You'll soon realize: there is the voice and here I am listening to it watching it. This I am realization this sense of your own presence is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.

So when you listen to a thought you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in. As you listen to the thought you feel a conscious presence - your deeper self - behind or underneath the thought as it were. The thought then loses its power over you and quickly subsides because you are no longer energizing the mind through identification with it. This is the beginning of the end of involuntary and compulsive thinking. When a thought subsides you experience a discontinuity in the mental stream - a gap of no-mind." At first the gaps will be short a few seconds perhaps but gradually they will become longer. When these gaps occur you feel a certain stillness and peace inside you. This is the beginning of your natural state of felt oneness with Being which is usually obscured by the mind. With practice the sense of stillness and peace will deepen. In fact there is no end to its depth. You will also feel a subtle emanation of joy arising from deep within: the joy of Being.

It is not a trancelike state. Not at all. There is no loss of consciousness here. The opposite is the case. If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness then they would not be worth having. In this state of inner connectedness you are much more alert more awake than in the mind-identified state. You are fully present. It also raises the vibrational frequency of the energy field that gives life to the physical body.

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.

There is little to show us what particular action on higher planes led to this curious prophetic vision. The parties were entirely unknown to one another so that it was not caused by any close sympathy between them. If it was an attempt made by some helper to avert the threatened doom it seems strange that no one who was [Page 138] sufficiently impressible could be found nearer than Cornwall. Perhaps Mr. Williams when on the astral plane during sleep somehow came across this reflection of the future and being naturally horrified thereby passed it on to his lower mind in the hope that somehow something might be done to prevent it; but it is impossible to diagnose the case with certainty without examining the âkâshic records to see what actually took place.

A typical instance of the absolutely purposeless foresight is that related by Mr. Stead in his Real Ghost Stories (page 83) of his friend Miss Freer commonly known as Miss X. When staying at a country house this lady being wide awake and fully conscious once saw a dogcart drawn by a white horse standing at the hall door with two strangers in it one of whom got out of the cart and stood playing with a terrier. She noticed that he was wearing an ulster and also particularly observed the fresh wheel-marks made by the cart on the gravel. Nevertheless there was no cart there at the time; but half an hour later two strangers did drive up in such an equipage and every detail of the lady's vision was accurately fulfilled. Mr. Stead goes on to cite another instance of equally purposeless prevision where seven years separated the dream (for in this case it was a dream) and its fulfillment.

All these instances (and they are merely random selections from many hundreds) show that a certain amount of prevision is undoubtedly possible to the ego and such cases would evidently be much more frequent if it [Page 139] were not for the exceeding density and lack of response in the lower vehicles of the majority of what we call civilized mankind - qualities chiefly attributable to the gross practical materialism of the present age. I am not thinking of any profession of materialistic belief as common but of the fact that in all practical affairs of daily life nearly everyone is guided solely by considerations of worldly interest in some shape or other.

In many cases the ego himself may be an undeveloped one and his prevision consequently very vague; in others he himself may see clearly but may find his lower vehicles so unimpressible that all he can succeed in getting through into his physical brain may be an indefinite presage of coming disaster. Again there are cases in which a premonition is not the work of the ego at all but of some outside entity who for some reasons takes a friendly interest in the person to whom the feeling comes. In the work which I quote above Mr. Stead tells us of the certainty which he felt many months beforehand that he would be left in change of the Pall Mall Gazette through from an ordinary point of view nothing seemed less probable. Whether that foreknowledge was the result of an impression made by his own ego or of a friendly hint from someone else it is impossible to say without definite investigation but his confidence in it was fully justified.

There is one more variety of clairvoyance in time which ought not to be left without mention. It is a comparatively rare one but there are enough examples on record to claim our attention though unfortunately [Page 140] the particulars given do not usually include those which we should require in order to be able to diagnose it with certainty. I refer to the cases in which spectral armies or phantom flocks of animals have been seen. In The Night Side of Nature (page 462 et seq.) we have accounts of several such visions. We are there told how at Havarah Park near Ripley a body of soldiers in white uniform amounting to several hundreds was seen by reputable people to go through various evolutions and then vanish; and how some years earlier a similar visionary army was seen in the neighbourhood of Inverness by a respectable farmer and his son.

In this case also the number of troops was very great and the spectators had not the slightest doubt at first that they were substantial forms of flesh and blood. They counted at least sixteen pairs of columns and had abundance of time to observe every particular. The front ranks marched seven abreast and were accompanied by a good many women and children who were carrying tin cans and other implements of cookery. The men were clothed in red and their arms shone brightly in the sun. In the midst of them was an animal a deer or horse they could not distinguish which that they were driving furiously forward with their bayonets.

The younger of the two men observed to the other that every now and then the rear ranks were obliged to run to overtake the van; and the elder one who had been a soldier remarked that that was always the case and recommended him if he ever served to try to march [Page 141] in the front. There was only one mounted officer; he rode a grey dragoon horse and wore a gold-laced hat and blue Hussar cloak with wide open sleeves lined with red. The two spectators observed him so particularly that they said afterwards they should recognize him anywhere. They were however afraid of being ill-treated or forced to go along with the troops whom they concluded to have come from Ireland and landed at Hyntyre; and whilst they were climbing over a dyke to get out of their way the whole thing vanished.
