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.

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".
Learn to use time in the practical aspects of your life - we may call this "clock time" - but immediately return to present-moment awareness when those practical matters have been dealt with. In this way there will be no build-up of "psychological time which is identification with the past and continuous compulsive projection into the future. Clock time is not just making an appointment or planning a trip. It includes learning from the past so that we don't repeat the same mistakes over and over. Setting goals and working toward them. Predicting the future by means of patterns and laws physical mathematical and so on learned from the past and taking appropriate action on the basis of our predictions. But even here within the sphere of practical living where we cannot do without reference to past and future the present moment remains the essential factor: Any lesson from the past becomes relevant and is applied now. Any planning as well as working toward achieving a particular goal is done now. The enlightened persons main focus of attention is always the Now but they are still peripherally aware of time. In other words they continue to use clock time but are free of psychological time. Be alert as you practice this so that you do not unwittingly transform clock time into psychological time. For example if you made a mistake in the past and learn from it now you are using clock time. On the other hand if you dwell on it mentally and self-criticism remorse or guilt come up then you are making the mistake into me" and "mine": you make it part of your sense of self and it has become psychological time which is always linked to a false sense of identity. Non-forgiveness necessarily implies a heavy burden of psychological time. If you set yourself a goal and work toward it you are using clock time. You are aware of where you want to go but you honor and give your fullest attention to the step that you are taking at this moment. If you then become excessively focused on the goal perhaps because you are seeking happiness fulfillment or a more complete sense of self in it the Now is no longer honored. It becomes reduced to a mere stepping stone to the future with no intrinsic value. Clock time then turns into psychological time. Your life's journey is no longer an adventure just an obsessive need to arrive to attain to "make it." You no longer see or smell the flowers by the wayside either nor are you aware of the beauty and the miracle of life that unfolds all around you when you are present in the Now. I can see the supreme importance of the Now but I cannot quite go along with you when you say that time is a complete illusion. When I say "time is an illusion my intention is not to make a philosophical statement. I am just reminding you of a simple fact - a fact so obvious that you may find it hard to grasp and may even find it meaningless - but once fully realized it can cut like a sword through all the mind-created layers of complexity and problems." Let me say it again: the present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not "this moment." Is this not a fact? The Insanity Of Psychological Time You will not have any doubt that psychological time is a mental disease if you look at its collective manifestations. They occur for example in the form of ideologies such as communism national socialism or any nationalism or rigid religious belief systems which operate under the implicit assumption that the highest good lies in the future and that therefore the end justifies the means. The end is an idea a point in the mind-projected future when salvation in whatever form - happiness fulfillment equality liberation and so on - will be attained. Not infrequently the means of getting there are the enslavement torture and murder of people in the present. For example it is estimated that as many as 50 million people were murdered to further the cause of communism to bring about a "better world" in Russia China and other countries. This is a chilling example of how belief in a future heaven creates a present hell. Can there be any doubt that psychological time is a serious and dangerous mental illness? How does this mind pattern operate in your life? Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? Is most of your doing just a means to an end? Is fulfillment always just around the corner or confined to short-lived pleasures such as sex food drink drugs or thrills and excitement? Are you always focused on becoming achieving and attaining or alternatively chasing some new thrill or pleasure? Do you believe that if you acquire more things you will become more fulfilled good enough or psychologically complete? Are you waiting for a man or woman to give meaning to your life? In the normal mind-identified or unenlightened state of consciousness the power and infinite creative potential that lie concealed in the Now are completely obscured by psychological time. Your life then loses its vibrancy its freshness its sense of wonder. The old patterns of thought emotion behavior reaction and desire are acted out in endless repeat performances a script in your mind that gives you an identity of sorts but distorts or covers up the reality of the Now. The mind then creates an obsession with the future as an escape from the unsatisfactory present. Negativity And Suffering Have Their Roots In Time Clairvoyance Isle Of Man
Extracts from J W Leadbeaters "Clairvoyance'. Now the ordinary mind cannot grasp this idea in the least though some few who have made a special study [Page 98] of the subject have gradually come to be able to realize one or two very simple four-dimensional figures. Still no words that they can use on this plane can bring any image of these figures before the mind of others and if any reader who has not specially trained himself along that line will make the effort to visualize such a shape he will find it quite impossible. Now to express such a form clearly in physical words would be in effect to describe accurately a single object of the astral plane; but in examining the records on the mental plane we should have to face the additional difficulties of a fifth dimension! So that the impossibility of fully explaining these records will be obvious to even the most superficial observation. We have spoken of the records as the memory of the Logos yet they are very much more than a memory in an ordinary sense of the word. Hopeless as it may be to imagine how these images appear from His point of view we yet known that as we rise higher and higher we must be drawing nearer to the true memory - must be seeing more nearly as He sees; so that great interest attaches to the experience of the clairvoyant with reference to these records when he stands upon the buddhic plane - the higher which his consciousness can reach even when away from the physical body until he attains the level of the Arhats. Here time and space no longer limit him; he no longer needs as on the mental plane to pass a series of events in review for past present and future are all alike simultaneously present to him meaningless [Page 99] as that sounds down here. Indeed infinitely below the consciousness of the Logos as even that exalted plane is it is yet abundantly clear from what we see there that to Him the record must be far more than what we call a memory for all that has happened in the past and all that will happen in the future is happening now before his eyes just as are the events of what we call the present time. Utterly incredible widely incomprehensible of course to our limited understanding; yet absolutely true for all that. Naturally we could not expect to understand at our present stage of knowledge how so marvelous a result is produced and to attempt an explanation would only be to involve ourselves in a mist of words from which we should gain no real information. Yet a line of though recurs to my mind which perhaps suggests the direction in which it is possible that that explanation may lie; and whatever helps us to realize that so astounding a statement may after all not be wholly impossible will be of assistance in broadening our minds. Some thirty years ago I remember reading a very curious little book called I think The Stars and the Earth the objects of which was to endeavour to show how it was scientifically possible that to the mind of God the past and the present might be absolutely simultaneous. Its arguments struck me at the time as decidedly ingenious and I will proceed to summarize them as I think they will be found somewhat suggestive in a connection with the subject which we have been considering. [Page 100] When we see anything whether it be the book which we hold in our hands or a star millions of miles away we do so by means of a vibration in the ether commonly called a ray of light which passes from the object seen to our eyes. Now the speed with which this vibration passes is so great - about 186 000 miles in a second - that when we are considering any object in our own world we may regard it as practically instantaneous. When however we come to deal with interplanetary distances we have to take the speed of light into consideration for an appreciable period is occupied in traversing these vast spaces. For example it takes eight minutes and a quarter for light to travel to us from the sun so that when we look at the solar orb we see it by means of a ray of light which left it more than eight minutes ago.
