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".

Is it not true that you need to have a good relationship with yourself and love yourself before you can have a fulfilling relationship with another person?

If you cannot be at ease with yourself when you are alone you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. You can be sure that the unease will then reappear in some other form within the relationship and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it. All you really need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself. But do you need to have a relationship with yourself at all? Why can't you just be yourself? When you have a relationship with yourself you have split yourself into two: "I" and "myself subject and object. That mind-created duality is the root cause of all unnecessary complexity of all problems and conflict in your life. In the state of enlightenment you are yourself - you' and "yourself" merge into one. You do not judge yourself you do not feel sorry for yourself you are not proud of yourself you do not love yourself you do not hate yourself and so on. The split caused by self reflective consciousness is healed its curse removed. There is no "self" that you need to protect defend or feed anymore. When you are enlightened there is one relationship that you no longer have: the relationship with yourself. Once you have given that up all your other relationships will be love relationships.

9. BEYOND HAPPINESS AND UNHAPPINESS THERE IS PEACE

The Higher Good Beyond Good And Bad

Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace?

Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.

The accurate reading of the records whether of one's own past lives or those of others must not however be thought of as an achievement possible to anyone without careful previous training. As has been already remarked though occasional reflections may be had upon the astral plane the power to use the mental [devachanic] sense is necessary before any reliable reading can be done. Indeed to minimise the possibility of error that sense ought to be fully at the command of the investigator while awake in the physical body; and to acquire that faculty needs years of ceaseless labour and rigid self-discipline.

Many people seem to expect that as soon as they have signed their application and joined the Theosophical Society they will at once remember at least three or four of their past births; indeed some of them promptly begin to imagine recollections and declare that in their last incarnation they were Mary Queen of Scots Cleopatra or Julius Caesar! Of course such extravagant claims simply bring discredit upon those who are so foolish as to make them; but unfortunately some of that discredit is liable to be reflected however unjustly upon the Society to which they belong so that a man who feels seething within him [Page 111] the conviction that he was Homer or Shakespeare would do well to pause and apply commonsense tests on the physical plane before publishing the news to the world.

It is quite true that some people have had glimpses of scenes from their past lives in dreams but naturally these are usually fragmentary and unreliable. I had myself in earlier life an experience of this nature. Among my dreams I found that one was constantly recurring - a dream of a house with a portico overlooking a beautiful bay not far from a hill on the top of which rose a graceful building. I knew that house perfectly and was as familiar with the position of its rooms and the view from its door as I was with those of my home in this present Life. In those days I knew nothing bout reincarnation so that it seemed to me simply a curious coincidence that this dream should repeat itself so often; and it was not until some time after I had joined the Society that when one who knew was showing me some pictures of my last incarnation I discovered that this persistent dream had been in a reality a partial recollection and that the house which I knew so well was the one in I was born more than two thousands years ago.

But although there are several cases on record in which some well-remembered scene has thus come through from one life to another a considerable development of occult faculty is necessary before an investigator can definitely trace a line of incarnations whether they be his own or another man's. This will be obvious if we [Page 112] remember the conditions of the problem which has to be worked out. To follow a person from this life to the one preceding it it is necessary first of all to trace his present life backwards to his birth and then to follow up in reverse order the stages by which the Ego descended into incarnation.

This will obviously take us back eventually to the condition of the Ego upon its own plane - the arûpa level of devachan [the highest levels of the mental plane] the highest levels of the mental plane; so it will be seen that to perform this task effectually the investigator must be able to use the sense corresponding to that exalted level while awake in his physical body - in other words his consciousness must be centred in the reincarnating Ego itself and no longer in the lower personality. In that case the memory of the Ego being aroused his own past incarnations will be spread out before him like an open book and he would be able if he wished to examine the conditions of another ego upon that level and trace him backwards through the devachanic [lower mental] and astral lives which led up to it until he came to the last physical death of that Ego and through it to his previous life.

There is no way but this in which the chain of lives can be followed through with absolute certainty; and consequently we may at once put aside as conscious or unconscious impostors those people who advertise that they are able to trace out anyone's past incarnations for so many shillings a head. Needless to say the true occultist does not advertise and never under any circumstances accepts money for any exhibition of his powers. [Page 113]

Assuredly the student who wishes to acquire the power of following up a line of incarnations can do so only by learning from a qualified teacher how the work is to be done. There have been those who persistently asserted that it was only necessary for a man to feel good and devotional and "brotherly" and all the wisdom of the ages would immediately flow in upon him; but a little common-sense will at once expose the absurdity of such a position. However good a child may be if he wants to know the multiplication table he must set to work and learn it; and the case is precisely similar with the capacity to use spiritual faculties. The faculties themselves will not doubt manifest as the man evolves but he can learn how use them reliably and to the best advantage only by steady hard work and persevering effort.
