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".

Tomorrow's bills are not the problem. The dissolution of the physical body is not a problem. Loss of Now is the problem or rather: the core delusion that turns a mere situation event or emotion into a personal problem and into suffering. Loss of Now is loss of Being. To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment. It represents the most profound transformation of consciousness that you can imagine. In some rare cases this shift in consciousness happens dramatically and radically once and for all. When it does it usually comes about through total surrender in the midst of intense suffering. Most people however have to work at it. When you have had your first few glimpses of the timeless state of consciousness you begin to move back and 'forth between the dimensions of time and presence. First you become aware of just how rarely your attention is truly in the Now. But to know that you are not present is a great success: that knowing is presence - even if initially it only lasts for a couple of seconds of clock time before it is lost again. Then with increasing frequency you choose to have the focus of your consciousness in the present moment rather than in the past or future and whenever you realize that you had lost the Now you are able to stay- in it not just for a couple of seconds but for longer periods as perceived from the external perspective of clock time. So before you are firmly established in the state of presence which is to say before you are fully conscious you shift back and forth for a while between consciousness and unconsciousness between the state of presence and the state of mind identification. You lose the Now and you return to it again and again. Eventually presence becomes your predominant state. For most people presence is experienced either never at all or only accidentally and briefly on rare occasions without being recognized for what it is. Most humans alternate not between consciousness and unconsciousness but only between different levels of unconsciousness.

Ordinary Unconsciousness And Deep Unconsciousness

What do you mean by different levels of unconsciousness?

As you probably know in sleep you constantly move between the phases of dreamless sleep and the dream state. Similarly in wakefulness most people only shift between ordinary unconsciousness and deep unconsciousness. What I call ordinary unconsciousness means being identified with your thought processes and emotions your reactions desires and aversions. It is most people's normal state. In that state you are run by the egoic mind and you are unaware of Being. It is a state not of acute pain or unhappiness but of an almost continuous low level of unease discontent boredom or nervousness - a kind of background static. You may not realize this because it is so much a part of "normal" living just as you are not aware of a continuous low background noise such as the hum of an air conditioner until it stops. When it suddenly does stop there is a sense of relief. Many people use alcohol drugs sex food work television or even shopping as anesthetics in an unconscious attempt to remove the basic unease. When this happens an activity that might be very enjoyable if used in moderation becomes imbued with a compulsive or addictive quality and all that is ever achieved through it is extremely short-lived symptom relief. The unease of ordinary unconsciousness turns into the pain of deep unconsciousness - a state of more acute and more obvious suffering or unhappiness - when things "go wrong when the ego is threatened or there is a major challenge threat or loss real or imagined in your life situation or conflict in a relationship. It is an intensified version of ordinary unconsciousness different from it not in kind but in degree. In ordinary unconsciousness habitual resistance to or denial of what is creates the unease and discontent that most people accept as normal living. When this resistance becomes intensified through some challenge or threat to the ego it brings up intense negativity such as anger acute fear aggression depression and so on. Deep unconsciousness often means that the pain-body has been triggered and that you have become identified with it. Physical violence would be impossible without deep unconsciousness. It can also occur easily whenever and wherever a crowd of people or even an entire nation generates a negative collective energy field. The best indicator of your level of consciousness is how you deal with life's challenges when they come. Through those challenges an already unconscious person tends to become more deeply unconscions and a conscious person more intensely conscious. You can use a challenge to awaken you or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The dream of ordinary unconsciousness then turns into a nightmare. If you cannot be present even in normal circumstances such as when you are sitting alone in a room walking in the woods or listening to someone then you certainly won't be able to stay conscious when something goes wrong" or you are faced with difficult people or situations with loss or the threat of loss. You will be taken over by a reaction which ultimately is always some form of fear and pulled into deep unconsciousness. Those challenges are your tests. Only the way in which you deal with them will show you and others where you are at as far as your state of consciousness is concerned not how long you can sit with your eyes closed or what visions you see. So it is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In this way you grow in presence power. It generates an energy field in you and around you of a high vibrational frequency. No unconsciousness no negativity no discord or violence can enter that field and survive just as darkness cannot survive in the presence of light. When you learn to be the witness of your thoughts and emotions which is an essential part of being present you may be surprised when you first become aware of the background "static" of ordinary unconsciousness and realize how rarely if ever you are truly at ease within yourself. On the level of your thinking you will find a great deal of resistance in the form of judgment discontent and mental projection away from the Now. On the emotional level there will be an undercurrent of unease tension boredom or nervousness. Both are aspects of the mind in its habitual resistance mode.

What Are They Seeking?

Carl Jung tells in one of his books of a conversation he had with a Native American chief who pointed out to him that in his perception most white people have tense faces staring eyes and a cruel demeanor. He said: "They are always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something. They are always uneasy and restless. We don't know what they want. We think they are mad." The undercurrent of constant unease started long before the rise of Western industrial civilization of course but in Western civilization which now covers almost the entire globe including most of the East it manifests in an unprecedentedly acute form. It was already there at the time of Jesus and it was there 600 years before that at the time of Buddha and long before that. Why are you always anxious? Jesus asked his disciples. "Can anxious thought add a single day to your life?" And the Buddha taught that the root of suffering is to be found in our constant wanting and craving. Resistance to the Now as a collective dysfunction is intrinsically connected to loss of awareness of Being and forms the basis of our dehumanized industrial civilization. Freud by the way also recognized the existence of this undercurrent of unease and wrote about it in his book Civilization and Its Discontents but he did not recognize the true root of the unease and failed to realize that freedom from it is possible. This collective dysfunction has created a very unhappy and extraordinarily violent civilization that has become a threat not only to itself but also to all life on the planet.

A very ingenious hypothesis has been offered to account for the phenomenon. It has been suggested that every object is perpetually throwing off radiations in all directions similar in some respects to though infinitely finer than rays of light and that clairvoyance is nothing but the power to see by means of these finer radiations. Distance would in that case no bar to the sight all intervening objects would be penetrable by these rays and they would be able to cross one another to infinity in all directions without entanglement precisely as the vibrations of ordinary light do.

Now though this is not exactly the way in which [Page 53] clairvoyance works the theory is nevertheless quite true in most of its premises. Every object undoubtedly is throwing off radiations in all directions and it is precisely in this way though on a higher plane that the âkâshic records seem to be formed. Of them it will be necessary to say something under our next heading so we will do no more than mention them for the moment. The phenomena of psychometry are also dependent upon these radiations as will presently be explained.

There are however certain practical difficulties in the way of using these etheric vibrations (for that is of course what they are) as the medium by means of which one may see anything taking place at a distance. Intervening objects are not entirely transparent and as the actors in the scene which the experimenter tried to observe would probably be at least equally transparent it is obvious that serious confusion would be quite likely to result.

The additional dimension which would come into play if astral radiations were sensed instead of etheric would obviate some of the difficulties but would on the the other hand introduce some fresh complications of its own; so that for practical purposes in endeavouring to understand clairvoyance we may dismiss this hypothesis of radiations from our minds and turn to the methods of seeing at a distance which are actually at the disposal of the student. It will be found that there are five four of them being really varieties of clairvoyance while the fifth does not properly come under that head [Page 54] at all but belongs to the domain of magic. Let us take this last one first and get it out of our way.

1- By the assistance of a nature-spirit. This method does not necessarily involve the possession of any psychic faculty at all on the part of the experimenter; he need only know how to induce some denizen of the astral world to undertake the investigation for him. This may be done either by invocation or by evocation: that is to say the operator may either persuade his astral coadjutor by prayers and offerings to give him the help he desires or he may compel his aid by the determined exercise of a highly-developed will.

This method has been largely practiced in the East (where the entity employed is usually a nature-spirit) and in old Atlantis where "the lords of the dark face" used a highly-specialized and peculiarly venomous variety of artificial elemental for this purpose. Information is sometimes obtained in the same sort of way at the spiritualistic séance of modern days but in that case the messenger employed is more likely to be a recently-deceased human being functioning more or less freely on the astral plane- though even here also it is sometimes an obliging nature-spirit who is amusing himself by posing as somebody's departed relative. In any case as I have said this method is not clairvoyant at all but magical; and it is mentioned here only in order that the reader may not become confused in the endeavour to classify cases of its use under some of the following headings.

2- By means of an astral current. This is a phrase [Page 55] frequently and rather loosely employed in some of our Theosophical literature to cover a considerable variety of phenomena and among others that which I wish to explain. What is really done by the student who adopts this method is not so much the setting in motion of a current in astral matter as the erection of a kind of temporary telephone through it.
