2n life7 the best ay to learn is by trying it out for yourself:. 2 began my spiritual

search as a rational sceptic7 ho as an engineer an5 research technologist byprofession7 ith no pre,ious personal contact ith the psychic or Spirit that 2 coul5

Tenty fi,e years later7 2 ha5 mo,e5 to a position of acceptance of the psychic an5 a

Spirit 6orl57 by a stea5y accumulation of e!periences an5 e,i5ence from many

5angerous7 so the fact that some committe5 Christians ere sympathetic7 an5 ha5

,arious psychic abilities themsel,es7 as reassuring. They met in a (rien5*s 3eeting

House in 3arlborough7 an5 2 began to atten5 their meetings. They ere open to

anyone intereste5.

The first lecture as about Near #eath $!periences7 an5 e,i5ence as presente5 thatthese e!periences in5icate5 sur,i,al of physical 5eath.

>ater that year at the C(PSS7 2 as gi,en the first of hat turne5 out to be many

messages from Spiritualist me5iums. Drsula Eoberts7 a ell8&non ol5 school

me5ium7 ga,e a 5emonstration of clair,oyance7 an5 pic&e5 me out for a message

purporte5 to be from the Spirit 6orl5. 2t as from a tan& 5ri,er7 ith light coloure5

The ne!t month7 2 ha5 the ,ery rare e!perience for me of a ,i,i57 remembere5 5ream.

2 o&e up su55enly in the mi55le of the night7 in the mi55le or en5 of the 5ream. 2

ha5 5reamt that 2 as a spirit being7 loo&ing 5on on my separate5 physical bo5y. 2

ha5 the absolute con,iction in the 5ream that Spirit ontrolled the bod!" the

ph!sial brain and bod! did not ontrol the #ind$2 remembere5 spea&ing the

or5s for emphasis through the spirit form hich as apparently me:.At the time, I put this down to my subconscious mind sorting out my problem with the

brain$mind relationship and telling me what it thought I wanted to hear. n the other

hand, it could not be disproved that perhaps %something in the #pirit World& was

trying to convince me of it's reality.

The me5ium7 Stephen /*Brien7 as a5,ertise5 to 5emonstrate clair,oyance in the

local area to a large au5ience in 1990. 2 5eci5e5 to atten57 to try to fin5 out more

about the claims of Spiritualism an5 e,i5ence of life after 5eath. He tal&e5 about the

philosophy of the Spiritualist 3o,ement7 an5 ga,e ten messages to members of the

au5ience. His metho5 as to as& the hole au5ience to listen to him as he ga,e out

information li&e names7 places7 e,ents. " single person as then establishe5 houn5erstoo5 an5 accepte5 the information. Stephen claime5 to act as a &in5 of

telephone e!change: for Spirit communicators. He tal&e5 to the recipient7 ho as

suppose5 to anser ith a yes or no7 about information he claime5 to be hearing from

the Spirit si5e of life:. The recipients seeme5 li&e or5inary people7 not actors7 an5 it

seeme5 to be spontaneous. There as a lot of specific information gi,en out7 an5

most of it as apparently accepte5. /n the face of it7 there seeme5 impressi,e

e,i5ence all e,ening that the me5ium as in5ee5 passing on messages from the Spirit

6orl5 to our physical orl5.

Hoe,er7 my sceptical si5e as saying that the recipients ere self8selecte57 therefore

negating that part of the e,i5ence. The e,i5ence after the acceptance as not

impressi,e enough to con,ince7 particularly as the rest of the au5ience 5i5 not &no

hat the e,i5ence meant to the recipient.

>ater that year7 the C(PSS hoste5 to spiritual healers7 ho ga,e healing to se,en of

our members. This &in5 of thing as ne to me. Ho 5i5 they &no that the healing

or&e5:7 an5 ho 5i5 it or& anyay- "fter the healing7 one of them ent in to

trance: an5 e!plaine5 ho Spirit or&e5. Cause an5 effect rules7 both here an5 in

the Spirit 6orl57 re8incarnation can happen for &arma:7 an5 e 5on*t control hen

e 5ie7 it is planne5. This as the first time 2 ha5 itnesse5 a trance a55ress7 hen a

Spirit communicator is suppose5 to spea& through a me5ium ho allos this to

happen hile his on spirit stan5s asi5e:.Another experience of so(say working with #pirit, but I had no idea if any of it was

valid, or if the healing had any effect.

" later spea&er at the C(PSS as a Christian cleric ho as oppose5 to psychic

research an5 in,estigation. He thought that the #e,il an5 e,il spirits ere a reality7

an5 it as best for natural psychics to control themsel,es an5 a,oi5 opening

themsel,es up to these ba5 entities.

An open(minded sceptic should at least consider the possibility that, if there is a #pirit

World,and %good spirits& can communicate, why should %bad spirits& be unable to?

)he type of evidence produced, and it's effect on behaviour, good or bad, would

provide a clue. Why would an evil spirit persuade us to lead a good life?

2 ha5 become more an5 more sympathetic to the claims of Spiritualism7 hile not

enoying the theology hich as intro5uce5 at some meetings of the C(PSS. 2 rea5

pro8Spiritualist boo&s more an5 more.

By 199)7 my mother an5 el5est brother ha5 5ie5. "t a later C(PSS meeting7 a local

me5ium7 Sheila 6ebb7 5emonstrate5 clair,oyance. She coul5 not properly place acommunicator ho ante5 a Norman: on the earth plane7 ho as a scientist7 there

as a rift beteen brothers7 the brother as sorry it ha5 happene57 he as sa5 about

it. 2 5i5 not spea& up7 as the me5ium trie5 ith someone else ith limite5 success. 2t

fitte5 me perfectly. 3y name is Norman7 2 as a scientist7 an5 my brother ha5

5isone5 me an5 tol5 me not to go to his funeral. 2 spo&e to Sheila afterar5s about

it7 an5 she sai5 she ishe5 that 2 ha5 spo&en up7 so that she coul5 ha,e e!pan5e5 the

lin&. 2 5i5 not ant to be a message8grabber: as some call it7 2 prefer the me5ium to

come to me 5irectly.

2 ha5 ne,er met Sheila before. 2n a group of about ten7 hat ere the chances of one

of them matching an unusual name7 Norman7 a fairly unusual occupation 7scientist7an5 a rift beteen brothers7 probably unusual e,en if you ha,e brothers. Coul5 it ha,e

been min5 rea5ing again- 2f it as7 it as still remar&able7 an5 not accepte5 by

mainstream science.

By no7 my rea5ing an5 e!periences ha5 le5 me to belie,e that the psychic as ell

orth in,estigating7 but 2 felt that it as essential to loo& insi5e the Spiritualist

mo,ement an5 ta&e part7 to ensure that all as hat it seeme5 to be7 an5 hat

me5iums ere li&e an5 ho they traine5. 3ost of the sceptics an5 5e8bun&ers

criticise5 me5iumship from the outsi5e7 ithout &noing7 or ta&ing note of7 the full

facts a,ailable.

2 ha5 often thought of atten5ing my local Spiritualist Church7 but 2 as a little afrai57

as other people*s attitu5es 5o affect you. Colleagues might thin& you ere a nutter or

a cran&7 it might be creepy or 5angerous7 an5 some Christians thought that it as e,il7

an5 Satan as at or&7 5i,erting you from the real faith:. The opportunity arose

hen a frien5 from or&7 ho &ne of my interest7 in,ite5 me to go ith her to the

local Spiritualist Church to see an up8an5 Fcoming me5ium name5 3ar& Bran5ist.

The small Church as pac&e5 ith nearly a hun5re5 people7 an5 3ar& ga,e lots of

correct names from Spirit: to people he selecte57 together ith 5escriptions of e,ents

an5 appearances. 2t as rela!e57 humorous7 an5 5on8to8$arth7 ith a pleasant

atmosphere. 2t as not hat 2 ha5 e!pecte57 as there as a prayer7 an5 hymns eresung7 but it as more cheerful than an ortho5o! type of Christian ser,ice.

2 felt a strong compulsion to atten5 the Church ser,ices on Satur5ay an5 Sun5ay each

ee& for si! months7 an5 also try anything else going on there. 2 oul5 be able to see

a i5e range of me5iums7 the

another boo&. 2 ha5 to a5mit that Spirit ha5 on my si! month challenge. /r perhaps7

instea57 they ha5 inspire5 me to as& for the challenge /ne message7 sai5 to be from

my mother7 cause5 me e!treme emotion. "s the me5ium 5eli,ere5 about tel,e facts7

relating to my mother*s last years on $arth7 2 as ansering yes each time7 but

roc&ing bac&ar5s an5 forar5s in my chair in shoc& an5 surprise. 2 felt that shereally &ne this information as from mother7 an5 2 ha5 a 5eep con,iction that this

as the personal e,i5ence of sur,i,al that 2 ha5 been see&ing so long. " feeling of

armth an5 hope came o,er me.

"s usual7 my sceptical si5e hit bac&. 2 &ne all the information gi,en by the me5ium7

she coul5 ha,e rea5 it from me7 an5 fe5 it bac&. 2t as cray to thin& of the possibility

of spirit people:

heale57 an5 there as a closing prayer. 2t as ,ery matter8of8fact an5 peaceful7 an5 2

on5ere5 hat 2 ha5 been orrie5 about.

The ne!t ee&7 2 as heale5 by a 5ifferent healer. He also place5 his han5s close to

my chest at first7 an5 tol5 me afterar5s that he as gui5e5 to go there. 2 felt aarmth in my chest. "gain 2 felt tingles: as his han5s ent to my hea5. 2 as feeling

slightly better no7 but 2 hear5 that a special healing e,ent as ta&ing place at a ,enue

in Sin5on.

"t the e,ent7 a la5y ho tol5 me she as name5 3a!ine7 from Glastonbury7 as

5esignate5 as my healer. She place5 her han5s on my chest7 an5 2 felt a tremen5ous

heat pumping in to my chest. She also ent to my si5e an5 face. She as&e5 if 2 as

ha,ing ba5 hea5aches7 2 sai5 yes7 perhaps it as the catarrh. She sai5 chec& ith your

5octor to ma&e sure you are alright physically.

The folloing 3on5ay7 2 felt so much better7 the annoying cough ha5 stoppe57 an5my chest as no longer ra:7 that 2 thought 2 oul5 see my 5octor. He ha5

2 as not a me5ium or psychic. Jeannie ha5 an "merican accent. The rest as ust a

luc&y fit7 as far as 2 coul5 tell.

2 tol5 Betty afterar5s that the or5s7 an5 the picture7 came in to my min5 ,ery

her to atten5 a ee&en5 course for me5iumistic 5e,elopment at the Sansea National

Centre for Spiritual "areness.

Chapter ) The Sansea e!perience

2 as ,ery reluctant to go to the Sansea Centre for the training course7 but 2 ha5

resol,e5 to try out all that became a,ailable. The training me5ium7 Betty7 must ha,e

seen something in me that 2 5i5 not thin& as there. 2 still 5i5 not feel that 2 as

psychic7 or me5iumistic7 that is7 being able to communicate ith the Spirit 6orl5people. Curiosity an5 my stubborn strea& seeme5 to impel me onar5s.

Betty as ,ery forceful7 an5 ha5 complete faith in hat she as 5oing7 5espite her

telling us that she 5i5 not see or hear Spirit. She ha5 a strong frien5ship ith the

oner of the Centre7 #ell Eoun57 ho e ere tol5 passionately belie,e5 that

e,erybo5y coul5 communicate ith the Spirit 6orl5.

"s e tra,elle5 to Sansea7 toar5s my first real spiritual training course7 2 began to

feel that 2 shoul5n*t really be 5oing this. The programme state5 that it as all about

The ne!t session as entitle5 " healing e!perience an5 celebration of life:.

The hall as cleare57 an5 chairs place5 aroun5 the si5e. Jonathon 7 a ,ery goo5

musician7 as on his &eyboar5 an5 got us 5ancing to arm us up. He then organise5

us in to to circles7 facing each other. #ell as&e5 us to hol5 han5s ith the person

The final e,ent as a table tilt. 2t as 5escribe5 by #ell as a bit of fun7 but for me it

turne5 out to be a really incre5ible e!perience. 3agical might be the or5.

2 ha5 hear5 about physical phenomena. These ere sai5 to be paranormal acti,ities

hich ere obecti,e7 in that more than one person coul5 itness the phenomena at

the same time7 an5 coul5 therefore compare notes for e,i5ence. Table tilting7 or table

turning7 came in to this category.

the hall7 hich as carpete5. >ighting as goo57 pro,i5e5 by re58coloure5 bulbs.

rousing songs on his &eyboar57 an5 the rest of us stu5ents7 about si!ty in all7 ho

ere seate5 aroun5 the hall7 sang to raise the ,ibrations: as they say. 6e ere

encourage5 to clap our han5s as ell7 an5 soon the table as seen to mo,e7 a little at

first.

Sceptics an5 necomers ere loo&ing for tric&s7 mechanical 5e,ices7 pushing by

some metho57 an5 any other normal e!planation for the mo,ement7 but e coul5 only

2 ha5 no ay of &noing the anser7 but the result as goo5.

/n 1st#ecember 19947 e ha5 the first circle in Cin5y*s house. She sai5 there oul5

sitters7 inclu5ing 3oya7 ere thought of as psychics. There ere some messages

gi,en7 a trance: by one of us7 an5 some healing as carrie5 out7 hich 2 enoye5.

Cin5y thought that the thought as the 5ee5 in healing7 so she 5i5 not ta&e part.

"lthough 2 ha5 helpe5 to bring us all together7 2 5i5 not feel that 2 ha5 much to offer7 2

2 felt that 2 ha5 ha5 enough messages by no7 there as nothing further to con,ince

Before e returne5 home7 e sa Carl again to listen to the $IP tape5 ,oices again

from the 6or&shop. 6hen e ere alone7 he as&e5 me if 2 as going to publish

anything about our communications ith the Tesla coil.

2 sai5 no7 2 ante5 to help an5 share7 lo,e an5 frien5s ere the most important7 an5 to

5e,elop through ser,ice to others.

Carl sai57 ;ou*re a saint 2 oul5 lo,e to be famous7 especially in something hichhas ne,er been 5one before.:

The Tesla circles for the ne!t fe ee&s pro5uce5 some interesting soun5s7 an5

interactions an5 con,ersations ith communicators7 but there as nothing really ne

to mo,e the circle 5e,elopment forar5.

#uring this perio57 2 continue5 to sit in circle in Sin5on. The fortnightly circle as

again hel5 at Carol an5 Pete*s house. 2 felt uncomfortable about it. Complete

harmony is essential for success7 an5 it seeme5 that there as no consensus among

the sitters as to the aims an5 obects of the circle. Hoe,er7 if 2 ante5 to stay ith

3oya an5 Phil7 an5 help an5 support Pete an5 Carol7 then 2 thought 2 oul5 ha,e tostay ith it an5 try to be positi,e. Nothing of note happene57 e!cept hen 2 heale5

Pete later he almost trance5: again7 but fought against it. People ha5 an5ere5 in

an5 out hile the healing as going on7 an5 2 felt that perhaps a greater respect for

Spirit as nee5e5. Pete ha5 tol5 Carol that he ha5 complete trust in Norman to loo&

after him if he trance5. 2 sai5 e must not push him7 it ta&es a long time to 5e,elop.

Carol later as&e5 us all if e oul5 sit for Pete for trance7 an5 all agree5. 2 trie5 to

persua5e us all to oin the N"S7 for safety an5 to benefit from their e!perience7 but

they ere not prepare5 to 5o this. 2f it 5e,elope5 in to physical phenomena7 then e

oul5 ha,e been helpe5 an5 protecte5 by e!perience5 me5iums in the Society.

Hoe,er7 2 thought it better if 2 staye5 ith the group to help7 although they ere

5etermine5 to 5o it their ay.

2t as a ,ery busy time for me7 spiritually. 3on5ay as the Tesla circle7 e*5 ust

ha5 the fortnightly circle7 an5 2 as still sitting ith at 3oya*s on 6e5nes5ays.

seeme5 to clic& from one scene to another. >ater7 Carol sai5 that she ha5 seen a blac&

man7 her hea5 felt tight7 an5 her lips ha5 felt puffy7 5uring the me5itation.

The ne!t Satur5ay circle at Pete an5 Carol*s as suppose5 to be a physical circle7 but

they ha5 can5les burning. 2 felt intense tingles on my face7 but the sitters ere ,ery

half8hearte5 about singing7 an5 5i5 not &no the or5s. Su55enly7 Pete began to

spea&7 in a &in5 of 6elsh accent7 unli&e his normal Geor5ie speech. He sai5 that he

Chapter 11 /nly the physical

The search as no concentrate5 ithin the Tesla physical circle. 2t as a relief in a

sense7 to help 5e,elop a physical me5ium7 rather than sitting in circles atching

members trying to 5e,elop their in5i,i5ual abilities. 2 ha5 left Pete an5 Carol*s

fortnightly circle as ell as 3oya*s .

3y healing training in the Church seeme5 to be going ell. $ach time 2 oul5 feel

heat an5 energy7 hich patients sometimes tol5 me they felt also7 an5 they felt

comfort7 an5 relief from pain at times. 2t as sai5 by some that spiritual healing as

physical me5iumship7 as it ha5 a physical effect as the healing energy passe5 from

Spirit7 through Spirit @ the healerA7 to Spirit @ the patientA. 6hen 2 heale5 2 alays

thought that it as ha,ing an effect7 hate,er the source of the energy7 an5 this has

continue5 until the present 5ay.

2n early January7 many ,ery lou5 noises ere hear5 5uring a circle7 an5 the me5ium

felt temperature changes from ,ery col57 to hot. Before the me5ium became

others ere ater in January7 Bob brought me the crystal set he ha5 ma5e up. He e!plaine5 it*s

to the me5ium in a 5ifferent ay7 so that she oul5 be satisfie5 ith the i5entity.

(lora continue5 con,ersing ith us7 an5 among the noises 2 hear5 a soun5 li&e a

telephone bell7 hich 2 remar&e5 on. (lora sai57 ;ou ill hear all sorts of things7 2

am being tol5. Perhaps you shoul5 anser it7 Norman 5ear. They must practice on the

correct a,e to come through:.2 as hearing a tittering soun57 hich 2 thought coul5 ha,e been ,oices trying to

spea&7 an5 2 suggeste5 this. The lea5er sai57 There is a rabble of ,oices7 isn*t there-:

(lora replie57 ;ou can*t e!pect perfect7 my 5ear7 in one e,ening.:

The energy seeme5 to be buil5ing up in the ne!t fe circles. There ere 5ifferent

unusual soun5s7 an5 the me5ium ha5 a lot of sensations li&e col5 air an5 cool energy.

6e all coul5 smell chemicals an5 musty o5ours at times. The me5ium an5 the lea5er

sa light flashes beteen the coilbo! an5 the me5ium. 2 5i5 not obser,e this. The

me5ium sai5 that a sheet: ha5 been forme5 ne!t to her chee& 7 her face ha5 been

mo,e5 aroun57 an5 they:7 perhaps7 ere trying to spea& that ay.

2n a circle at the en5 of January7 there ere further 5e,elopments. The me5ium sa a

bright light in her cabinet 5uring the opening prayer7 then she felt something being

built up against her face again. "fter e hear5 a hymn7 there as a lou5 e!plosi,e

noise7 an5 the &eyboar5 recor5e5 tune came on. 6e all 5enie5 touching the &eyboar5.

"s it playe5 on7 the me5ium felt ,ery col57 then she as&e5 permission of Spirit to turn

it off7 hich e 5i5. 6e all hear5 many clic& soun5s7 hich sometimes the me5ium

sa as lighting up the cabinet. Then7 there as a ,ery lou5 short e!plosi,e noise7 to

longer similar noises7 an5 the &eyboar5 song as sitche5 on again

(or se,eral times no7 the &eyboar5 ha5 alays come on after hat e calle5 poer

surges7 li&e e!plosi,e soun5s. There ha5 to be a connection. There folloe5 an

impressi,e series of poer surges. Short7 long7 short7 long7 short7 short7 short7 short.

/ther surges an5 a rumbling soun5 ere hear57 an5 the me5ium as&e5 for the light to

be sitche5 on7 because she as orrie5 about hat the intense soun5 meant. She

as&e5 them: hat they ere 5oing ith electricity.

2t as notice5 that the cupboar5 ne!t to her ha5 been mo,e5 to inches aay from

the cabinet7 but nothing on top of it ha5 been 5isturbe5. Ha5 the noises anything to 5o

ith this7 e thought.

"fter the circle as close57 e hear5 attracti,e soun5s li&e bir5song from the

coilMcrystal setM amplifierMspea&er7 an5 a high8pitche5 tittering: soun5.

This sOance ha5 pro5uce5 ,ery impressi,e phenomena7 hich 2 coul5 not e!plain

e!cept in terms of an intelligent poer behin5 it. The me5ium as a truste5 trancechannel7 an5 seeme5 connecte5 to all the paranormal e,ents. "lthough some of the

e,i5ence as subecti,e to the me5ium an5 relie5 on trust7 the obecti,e e,ents alone

seeme5 gui5e57 not ran5om.

2t struc& me that most of the paranormal e,ents that ha5 happene5 so far ha5 been

hile the me5ium as fully conscious an5 ta&ing part7 singing7 o&ing7 as&ing for

phenomena in a humorous ay. Perhaps she ha5 a part to play hile conscious that

she coul5 not 5o hile in trance.

The Church then pro,i5e5 me ith a bit of encouragement7 hen a me5ium sai57

;our father is helping you a lot an5 patting you on the bac&. #o you heal7 there is a

man in a hite robe7 a higher gui5e7 he is helping7 there is lots of lo,e aroun5 you.
