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".

If a fish is born in your aquarium and you call it John write out a birth certificate tell him about his family history and two minutes later he gets eaten by another fish - that's tragic. But it's only tragic because you projected a separate self where there was none. You got hold of a fraction of a dynamic process a molecular dance and made a separate entity out of it.

Consciousness takes on the disguise of forms until they reach such complexity that it completely loses itself in them. In present-day humans consciousness is completely identified with its disguise. It only knows itself as form and therefore lives in fear of the annihilation of its physical or psychological form. This is the egoic mind and this is where considerable dysfunction sets in. It now looks as if something had gone very wrong somewhere along the line of evolution. But even this is part of lila the divine game. Finally the pressure of suffering created by this apparent dysfunction forces consciousness to disidentify from form and awakens it from its dream of form: It regains self-consciousness but it is at a far deeper level than when it lost it. This process is explained by Jesus in his parable of the lost son who leaves his father's home squanders his wealth becomes destitute and is then forced by his suffering to return home. When he does his father loves him more than before. The sons state is the same as it was before yet not the same. It has an added dimension of depth. The parable describes a journey from unconscious perfection through apparent imperfection and "evil" to conscious perfection. Can you now see the deeper and wider significance of becoming present as the watcher of your mind? Whenever you watch the mind you withdraw consciousness from mind forms which then becomes what we call the watcher or the witness. Consequently the watcher - pure consciousness beyond form - becomes stronger and the mental formations become weaker. When we talk about watching the mind we are personalizing an event that is truly of cosmic significance: through you consciousness is awakening out of its dream of identification with form and withdrawing from form. This foreshadows but is already part of an event that is probably still in the distant future as far as chronological time is concerned. The event is called - the end of the world. When consciousness frees itself from its identification with physical and mental forms it becomes what we may call pure or enlightened consciousness or presence. This has already happened in a few individuals and it seems destined to happen soon on a much larger scale although there is no absolute guarantee that it will happen. Most humans are still in the grip of the egoic mode of consciousness: identified with their mind and run by their mind. If they do not free themselves from their mind in time they will be destroyed by it. They will experience increasing confusion conflict violence illness despair madness. Egoic mind has become like a sinking ship. If you don't get off you will go down with it. The collective egoic mind is the most dangerously insane and destructive entity ever to inhabit this planet. What do you think will happen on this planet if human consciousness remains unchanged? Already for most humans the only respite they find from their own minds is to occasionally revert to a level of consciousness below thought. Everyone does that every night during sleep. But this also happens to some extent through sex alcohol and other drugs that suppress excessive mind activity. If it weren't for alcohol tranquilizers antidepressants as well as the illegal drugs which are all consumed in vast quantities the insanity of the human mind would become even more glaringly obvious than it is already. I believe that if deprived of their drugs a large part of the population would become a danger to themselves and others. These drugs of course simply keep you stuck in dysfunction. Their widespread use only delays the breakdown of the old mind structures and the emergence of higher consciousness. While individual users may get some relief from the daily torture inflicted on them by their minds they are prevented from generating enough conscious presence to rise above thought and so find true liberation. Falling back to a level of consciousness below mind which is the pre-thinking level of our distant ancestors and of animals and plants is not an option for us. There is no way back. If the human race is to survive it will have to go on to the next stage. Consciousness is evolving throughout the universe in billions of forms. So even if we didn't make it this wouldn't matter on a cosmic scale. No gain in consciousness is ever lost so it would simply express itself through some other form. But the very fact that I am speaking here and you are listening or reading this is a clear sign that the new consciousness is gaining a foothold on the planet.

There is nothing personal in this: I am not teaching you. You are consciousness and you are listening to yourself. There is an Eastern saying: "The teacher and the taught together create the teaching." In any case the words in themselves are not important. They are not the Truth; they only point to it. I speak from presence and as I speak you may be able to join me in that state. Although every word that I use has a history of course and comes from the past as all language does the words that I speak to you now are carriers of the high-energy frequency of presence quite apart from the meaning they convey as words. Silence is an even more potent carrier of presence so when you read this or listen to me speak be aware of the silence between and underneath the words. Be aware of the gaps. To listen to the silence wherever you are is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you. Only the stillness in you can perceive the silence outside. And what is stillness other than presence consciousness freed from thought forms? Here is the living realization of what we have been talking about.

Christ: The Reality Of Your Divine Presence

Don't get attached to any one word. You can substitute "Christ" for presence if that is more meaningful to you. Christ is your God essence or the Self as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence. Many misunderstandings and false beliefs about Christ will clear if you realize that there is no past or future in Christ. To say that Christ was or will be is a contradiction in terms. Jesus was. He was a man who lived two thousand years ago and realized divine presence his true nature. And so he said: "Before Abraham was I am." He did not say: "I already existed before Abraham was born." That would have meant that he was still within. the dimension of time and form identity. The words Iam used in a sentence that starts in the past tense indicate a radical shift a discontinuity in the temporal dimension. It is a Zen-like statement of great profundity. Jesus attempted to convey directly not through discursive thought the meaning of presence of self realization. He had gone beyond the consciousness dimension governed by time into the realm of the timeless. The dimension of eternity had come into this world. Eternity of course does not mean endless time but no time. Thus the man Jesus became Christ a vehicle for pure consciousness. And what is God's self-definition in the Bible? Did God say "I have always been and I always will be?" Of course not.

That would have given reality to past and future. God said: "I AM THAT I AM." No time here just presence. The "second coming" of Christ is a transformation of human consciousness a shift from time to presence from thinking to pure consciousness not the arrival of some man or woman. If "Christ" were to return tomorrow in some externalized form what could he or she possibly say to you other than this: "I am the Truth. I am divine presence. I am eternal life. I am within you. I am here. I am Now." Never personalize Christ. Don't make Christ into a form identity. Avatars divine mothers enlightened masters the very few that are real are not special as persons. Without a false self to uphold defend and feed they are more simple more ordinary than the ordinary man or woman. Anyone with a strong ego would regard them as insignificant or more likely not see them at all. If you are drawn to an enlightened teacher it is because there is already enough presence in you to recognize presence in another. There were many people who did not recognize Jesus or the Buddha as there are and always have been many people who are drawn to false teachers. Egos are drawn to bigger egos. Darkness cannot recognize light. Only light can recognize light. So don't believe that the light is outside you or that it can only come through one particular form. If only your master is an incarnation of God then who are you? Any kind of exclusivity is identification with form and identification with form means ego no matter how well disguised. Use the master's presence to reflect your own identity beyond name and form back to you and to become more intensely present yourself. You will soon realize that there is no "mine" or "yours" in presence. Presence is one. Group work can also be helpful for intensifying the light of your presence. A group of people coming together in a state of presence generates a collective energy field of great intensity. It not only raises the degree of presence of each member of the group but also helps to free the collective human consciousness from its current state ofmind dominance. This will make the state of presence increasingly more accessible to individuals. However unless at least one member of the group is already firmly established in it and thus can hold the energy frequency of that state the egoic mind can easily reassert itself and sabotage the group's endeavors. Although group work is invaluable it is not enough and you must not come to depend on it. Nor must you come to depend on a teacher or a master except during the transitional period when you are learning the meaning and practice of presence.

Small wonder then that however vivid and striking his descriptions may seem to his audience he himself should constantly be impressed with their total inadequacy and should feel that his best efforts have entirely failed to convey any idea of what he really sees. And we must remember that in the case of the report given down here of a record read on the mental plane this difficult operation of transference from the higher to the lower has taken place not once but twice since the memory has been brought through the intervening astral plane. Even in a case where the investigator has the advantage of having developed his mental faculties so that he has the use of them while awake in the physical body he is still hampered by the absolute incapacity of physical language to express what he sees.

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.
