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".

The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered a mental image is created no longer perhaps of an old man with a white beard but still a mental representation of someone or something outside you and yes almost inevitably a male someone or something.

Neither God nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience That toward which it points. Does it point beyond itself to that transcendental reality or does it lend itself too easily to becoming no more than an idea in your head that you believe in a mental idol?

The word Being explains nothing but nor does God. Being however has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence the realization I am that is prior to I am this or I am that. So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.

What is the greatest obstacle to experiencing this reality?

Identification with your mind which causes thought to become compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction but we don't realize this because almost everybody is suffering from it so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being. It also creates a false mind-made self that casts a shadow of fear and suffering. We will look at all that in more detail later.

The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think therefore I am." He had in fact given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker which means almost everyone lives in a state of apparent separateness in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind. Enlightenment is a state of wholeness of being "at one" and therefore at peace. At one with life in its manifested aspect the world as well as with your deepest self and life unmanifested - at one with Being. Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering and of continuous conflict within and without but also the end of the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. What an incredible liberation this is!

Try for a moment to realize fully what is called the fourth dimension of which we said something in an earlier chapter. It is easy enough to think of our own three dimensions - to image in our minds the length breadth and height of any object; and we see that each of these three dimensions is expressed by a line at right angles to both of the others. The idea of the fourth dimension is that it might be possible to draw a fourth line which shall be at right angles to all three of those already existing.

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.
