The Sanctuary


In 2007 a small group of interested people decided to set up a
home circle dedicated to learning and understanding more about Physical
Mediumship.
This circle was named the Bristol Spirit Lodge - as Chris, whose home
hosted the circle and who created the idea, lived in Bristol at the time.
The BSL grew and evolved over time with many sitters and mediums coming
and going. I myself developed my own abilities as a Trance and Transfiguration
medium but the hoped for physical phenomena didn't appear to be on the agenda.
Much of the early development records as experienced by myself are
recorded in this blog up to the point where I really felt I was unable to add
anything new to the record.

In May 2013, some 5 yrs down the line, the BSL has relocated to Clevedon
and gone from strength to strength. Numerous new home circles have spun off and
have set up on their own and links to many others have been created
6 months ago, a young lady, wife and Mum contacted Chris to enquire
about physical mediumship. One thing led to another and she has now been sitting
in her own circle within the BSL for development with some amazing results. The
speed and level of her development has been stunning.

A few months ago, her spirit team who have been communicating through
direct voice whilst Emily has been in deep trance, told us that they wished to
form a small closed circle to sit weekly with a handful of dedicated sitters in
support to start what they called the “serious work”.

Last week was the inaugural sitting of the closed circle and what
follows below will be my own subjective account of my personal experiences
during this and subsequent sittings.
Chris will continue to update her own account of course on the BSL
on-line diary. My own diary in no way replaced these, this is just my own
personal record for my own interest and for anyone else who wants to follow.

Tuesday 10th July

Another amazing evening.
A number of different spirits came through, Brian’s hands were released from the cable ties and both Brian and the chair were carried out into the room and dropped (with a particularly) loud crash.
This was all very interesting and makes for an exciting time, however, is this really what it’s all about?

For me, the whole essence and purpose of the circle is not to merely entertain the circle members but to demonstrate to the world at large that Spirit is a very real form of existence.
That life as we know it is not limited to the merely physical. And when we finally shuffle off this mortal coil, it’s not simply a case of game over, lights out, the big goodnight but a change of focus, a shift in the place of attention.

If you knew, with absolute certainty, with knowledge gained from personal experience, that you lived beyond the physical cycle of birth and death. That your friends and relations who have died are not dead. That there is no death!
Would you change anything? Would you still live your life as you live it today? Would change any of your thoughts about what are your priorities in life? Would you change the way you acted, the way look at others, the way you even thought?

Through our circle, Spirit are experimenting, developing and learning how to manipulate the blend of energies from the physical and spiritual dimensions.
Creating physical phenomena that irrefutably prove through physical evidence and experience that life continues without end, and that our life here is only one aspect of our real life.
When we are given the go ahead, we will be able to start inviting guests to also witness and experience spirits' commitment to us all.


In the meantime, this weeks circle also made a significant step forward as the being known to us as ‘The Chief’ not only gave us detailed instructions for a special experiment for next weeks circle, but also for the first time opened up the floor for questions.

Each of us were given the opportunity to ask questions and the answers received were both clear and concise. Interestingly, the Chief didn’t have “all” the answers and on two occasions seemed to be stumped, then “went to ask”, returning moments later with a clear and lucid response.

We were given an explanation for how the bindings on Brian’s wrists were being manipulated and his arms were being freed, also how the chair (complete with Brian in it) was being lifted from the floor and propelled through the curtains into the centre of the room.
We were given advice on meditation and on the nature of twin souls or soul mates.
Also covered were aspects of how individual events were never simply accidents or coincidences. How some meetings and relationships were intended to be made in order to reach a certain situation or set of circumstances.

Later next week I should have the CD of the evening’s communications and I’ll either transcribe the salient points or simply post an MP3 version here on the blog.

& if you’re still interested with keeping up with developments, be sure to drop by next week when I’ll also post the outcome of the new experiment that Spirit are preparing for.
