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".

In the quest for enlightenment is being gay a help or a hindrance or does it not make any difference?

As you approach adulthood uncertainty about your sexuality followed by the realization that you are "different" from others may force you to disidentify from socially conditioned patterns of thought and behavior. This will automatically raise your level of consciousness above that of the unconscious majority whose members unquestioningly take on board all inherited patterns. In that respect being gay can be a help. Being an outsider to some extent someone who does not "fit in'' with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason makes life difficult but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force. On the other hand if you then develop a sense of identity based on your gayness you have escaped one trap only to fall into another. You will play roles and games dictated by a mental image you have of yourself as gay. You will become unconscious. You will become unreal. Underneath your ego mask you will become very unhappy. If this happens to you being gay will have become a hindrance. But you always get another chance of course. Acute unhappiness can be a great awakener.

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

But it may be asked how is it possible amid the bewildering confusion of these records of the past to find any particular picture when it is wanted? As a matter of fact the untrained clairvoyant usually cannot do so without some special link to put him en rapport with the subject required. Psychometry is an instance in point and it is quite probable that our ordinary memory is really only another presentment of the same idea. It seems as though there were a sort of magnetic attachment or affinity between any particle of matter and the record which contains its history - an affinity which enables it to act as a kind of conductor between that record and the faculties of anyone who can read it.

For example I once brought from Stonehenge a tiny fragment of stone not larger than a pin's head and on putting this into an envelope and handing it to a psychometer who had no idea what it was she at once began to describe that wonderful ruin and the desolate country surrounding it and then went on to picture vividly what were evidently scenes from its early history showing that that infinitesimal fragment had been sufficient to put her into communication with the records connected with the spot from which it came. The scenes through which we pass in the course of our life seem to act in the same manner upon the cells of our brain as did the history of Stonehenge upon that particle of stone; they establish a connection with those cells by means of which our mind is put en rapport with that particular portion of the records and so we "remember" what we have seen. [Page 104]

Even a trained clairvoyant needs some link to enable him to find the record of an event of which he has no previous knowledge. If for example he wished to observe the landing of Julius Caesar on the shores of England there are several ways in which he might approach the subject. If he happened to have visited the scene of the occurrence the simplest way would probably be to call up the image of that spot and then run back through its records until he reached the period desired. If he had not seen the place he might run back in time to the date of the event and then search the Channel for a fleet of Roman galleys; or he might examine the records of Roman life at about that period where he would have no difficulty in identifying so prominent a figure as Caesar or in tracing him when found through all his Gallic wars until he set his foot upon British land.

People often enquire as to the aspect of these records - whether they appear near or far away from the eye whether the figures in them are large or small whether the pictures follow one another as in a panorama or melt into another like dissolving views and so on. One can only reply that their appearance varies to a certain extent according to the conditions under which they are seen. Upon the astral plane the reflection is most often a simple picture though occasionally the figures seen would be endowed with motion; in this latter case instead of a mere snapshot a rather longer and more perfect reflections has taken place.

On the mental plane they have two widely [Page 105] different aspects. When the visitor to that plane is not thinking specially of them in any way the records simply form a background to whatever is going on just as the reflections in a pier-glass at the end of a room might form a background to the life of the people in it. It must always be borne in mind that under these conditions they are really merely reflections from the ceaseless activity of a great Consciousness upon a far higher plane and have very much the appearance of an endless succession of the recently invented cinematographer or living photographs. They do not melt into one another like dissolving views nor do a series of ordinary pictures follow one another; but the action of the reflection figures constantly goes on as though one were watching the actors on a distant stage.

But if the trained investigator turns his attention specially to any one scene or wishes to call it up before him an extraordinary change at once takes place for this is the plane of thought and to think of anything is to bring it instantaneously before you. For example if a man wills to see the records of that event to which we before referred - the landing of Julius Caesar - he finds himself in a moment not looking at any picture but standing on the shore among the legionaries with the whole scene being enacted around him precisely in every respect as he would have seen it if he had stood there in the flesh on that autumn morning in the year 55 B.C.. Since what he sees is but a reflection the actors are of course entirely unconscious of him nor can any effort of his change the course of their action in the [Page 106] smallest degree except only that he can control the rate at which the drama shall pass before him - can have the events of a whole year rehearsed before his eyes in a single hour or can at any moment stop the movement altogether and hold any particular scene in view as a picture as long as he chooses.

In truth he observes not only what he would have seen if he had been there at the time in the flesh but much more. He hears and understands all that the people say and he is conscious of all their thoughts and motives; and one of the most interesting of the many possibilities which open up before one who has learnt to read the records is the study of the thought of ages long past - the thought of the cavemen and the lake-dwellers as well as that which ruled the mighty civilisations of Atlantis of Egypt or Chaldea. What splendid possibilities open up before the man who is in full possession of this power may easily be imagined. He has before him a field of historical research of most entrancing interest. Not only can he review at his leisure all history with which we are acquainted correcting as he examines it the many errors and misconceptions which have crept into the accounts handed down to us; he can also range at will over the whole story of the world from its very beginning watching the slow development of intellect in man the descent of the Lords of the Flame and the growth of the mighty civilisations which They founded.
