As I'll be missing the next few seances you can continue to keep up to date a the main site - Spirit Lodge Diary.
I anticipate everything getting back to normal in a few more weeks time
Cheers

Tuesday 4th March
This evenings circle was as usual held in complete blackout conditions and with a full house of sitters. As the first track was played there were sounds of movement within the cabinet but unusually within the first minute, these had subsided and there was silence from then onwards right up until the end of the fourth track.
(You may recall that the first 4 songs are now are held in silence by the sitters to allow Spirit to take the medium deeper into the trance condition).
Once the ‘going off’ tracks were complete and everyone had confirmed they were fully present and with it, I turned up the volume a bit and we all joined in with the singing and you could feel the energy rise exponentially.
Very soon we heard the sounds of direct voice being attempted and the voice of our communicator began to project out of the cabinet.
All previous attempts had only lasted for literally a couple of minutes, but this time we were able to hold conversation for at least 10 minutes or more.
You can hear or download clips from this “here” or via the link on the side bar.
There was little deep philosophical truth discussed as this is still at a very early stage of development. Our understanding of the process being used to create this phenomena is that a number of spirit beings are working together to create the voice channel.
Whilst the voice box is being created externally to the medium, it is being controlled by a blend of different beings or personalities who are controlling the medium (as the Chief does during the lighter trance communications) as well as the intelligence that is controlling the external voice channel.
The end result is that at this early stage, we can still hear the ‘influence’ of Brian on the construction of the words and sentences being used.
You can visualise this as if the medium is being used for normal trance communication, but the physical sounds are actually being created remotely. This is my current understanding of the process as explained by the chief and FC but I dare say this will change as development continues and the team find new ways of describing what is actually happening.
Following the extended period of independent voice development, there was a brief period of quiet before we heard each of the 4 cable ties being broken free. Then just as we were anticipating the Chiefs familiar entrance we all jumped as a resounding crash was heard outside the cabinet. My assumption was that the chair had been literally thrown into the room but this was not the case!
The Chief then came through and answered questions from Alan about last weeks experience of witnessing the cable tie being manipulated, stretched and then snapped under red light conditions. I also got to ask some questions which were again answered fluently.
After a good 15 or 20 minutes of open discussion, the chief made his departure and I brought the séance to a close.
As the lights were brought back up we discovered that the crash had not been caused by the chair being brought out of the cabinet -that was still where we’d left it behind the curtains, complete with the double knotted waist tie just as Margaret had tied it.
However, Brian was found lying stretched out on the Lodge floor, head to the cabinet, and feet towards the North corner. We can only guess that the loud noise heard earlier was in fact Brian being literally carried out of the cabinet, and ‘dropped’ flat on the floor.
He was still pretty groggy which was indicative of the depth of trance that he’d been taken into. This also ties in with the extended period of quiet during the first half an hour of the séance that the team had said was going to be used to create a deeper level of relaxation and trust in the medium.
The full house and high ‘spirit’s of the sitters and the dedication of the Spirit team, together with Brian’s own commitment, once again created the perfect conditions for more physical evidence. Thanks to all involved both within and outside the circle.
I’ll be away from the circle for the next couple of weeks due to personal commitments but normal service will be resumed shortly.
