CONTENTS
Two Worlds Are One
Amongst the varied topics in this month’s editorial are the terrible massacre in Norway, the
passing of singer Amy Winehouse, some unusual survival-packed stories and a crop of coincidences.
Page 4
“The human spirit is gradually evolving,” says Silver Birch. “Centuries ago there were but
a handful who dreamed dreams and saw visions. Now the vision splendid has come to hundreds of thousands.”
Page 11
The Margaret Holmes column
Our resident adviser tackles Spiritualists’ attitudes towards animals, how to read the aura
and helping neighbours who have suffered a bereavement.
Page 15
When it’s time to pass . . .
Can someone really pass on before his or her time? Do organ transplants necessarily prolong one’s time on earth? Medium and minister Dennis Jones addresses all these points . . .
and more.

Grandmother makes speedy spirit return
Medium Ivan Lee answers various questions concerning his life and gift, telling, for
instance, about a “dead” relative who made speedy contact from the Beyond.

accounts, and exercises and advice on how to develop the gift of psychic art.

When spirit truths reign supreme
“We are all spiritual beings,” writes Maurice Barbanell. “It is not death which confers a spiritual status upon us. We survive because we are spiritual beings. We live on earth because
we are spiritual beings.”

Beware the wolf you feed
A selection of thought-provoking stories selected from the worldwide web by Vanessa
Attwood.

Book reviews
Always happy with a book in his hand, Graham Jennings turns the pages of two titles, calling one “hugely worth reading” and the praising the other for giving “the broadest possible
perspective of personal evolution.”

Two Worlds Are One
NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK BY TONY ORTZEN
home. Possessed by the ugly sisters of
drink and drugs, Amy joined the socalled 27 Club of musicians who all
passed on at that age.
They include Rolling Stone Brian
Jones, who drowned in a swimming pool
in 1969. Meanwhile Jimi Hendrix died in
1970 after mixing wine with sleeping
pills whereas singer Janis Joplin suffered
a heroin overdose the same year.
Also members of the same club are
Doors star Jim Morrison – heart failure
caused his passing in 1971 – whilst
Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain shot
himself in 1994.
What can one say, for there are times
when mere words sound so empty,
clumsily inadequate and pathetic? All of
the families involved in this latest spate
of tragedies will never be quite the same
again until reunion occurs Beyond.
As Spiritualists, we appreciate that
each and every victim will have been
met in the spirit world with loving arms
and continue to survive, but these sad
stories highlight the often overlooked
fact that the gap between life and death
is sometimes so thin it’s barely visible.
Spirit guides have always taught that
barring accidents, no one passes before
their allotted time. But what constitutes
an accident and what is fate? Likewise,
who – or what – determines the exact
day of one’s passing?
These are questions which, I fear,
R
ARELY can there have been so
much bad news in the space of
a few short but heart-wrenching hours.
First, a 37-year-old Latvian waiter was
stabbed to death just up the road from
home outside a Tube station. Within
days, two eighteen-year-old youths were
arrested for questioning.
Next, news filtered through of a bomb
which ripped apart the centre of Oslo.
Not content with that, lone gunman
Anders Breivik then made his way to a
lovely-looking island and callously
killed dozens of youngsters attending a
summer camp run by Norway’s ruling
Labour Party.
As ever more ghastly details emerged,
a news flash suddenly announced that
singer Amy Winehouse had been found
“dead” at her Camden, NW London,

Are you a Spiritualist?
Do you follow the teachings of the guides?
Do you eat meat?
Silver Birch (pictured left) said: “All life belongs to the Great White
Spirit. No one must take it in whatever form it is. Life does not belong
to man. It belongs to the Great White Spirit. It was never part of the
plan that man should consume his brother or sister in whatever form
life manifested itself”
The above is echoed by Ramadhan – Ursula Roberts’ guide – and
many others
All the great peacemakers, philosophers and thinkers from
Confucius and Ovid to Einstein (pictured right) and Schweitzer tell
us not to murder animals
Spiritualist churches administered and services conducted by flesh
eaters are surely ignoring the absolute basics of a spiritual life. How
can a medium stand up and give an address advocating love and
compassion if they consciously contribute to such suffering?

Working in the Realms of Spirit
By Mike Williamson
£12.99
Mike has been working as a medium for 35 years, running circles
and serving churches. He also visits people’s houses where they are
having spiritual problems like hauntings, ghosts and things going
bump in the night. He has visited hundreds of families to remove
troublesome spirits and help lost souls on their journey back to the
spirit world. The book is about how he and his family were being
attacked by troublesome spirits, and how he had to learn to
overcome the forces
of darkness so that he could give his family peace of mind. How there was no one to
help when he needed it, so he had to find a way of dealing with his
situation. How he had the good fortune to be able through his wife to talk to her
guides. How they taught both him and his wife about the spirit world and developed
their mediumship. How to run a circle and develop your mediumship and many
other forms of mediumship

none of us can adequately answer on
this side of the veil where we only perceive a miniscule part of the complete
picture concerning our collective and
individual destinies . . .

LET’S move to some brighter news and
three really intriguing accounts which
popped up on the internet.
Writing from Sunderland, Audrey
Calleja said that five years ago, she was
suffering from cancer. Whilst undergoing chemotherapy, she took a walk with
her husband “when we stopped at our
local bar for a quick drink. Inside, my
husband left me to go to the bar and I
sat alone at the table.
“A man approached me and asked if I
would mind if he joined us. I motioned
for him to sit down. After a few
moments, he began to stare at me,
which made me very nervous.”
The stranger told Audrey: “I know
what you have. It’s breast cancer on the
left side. I’m right, aren’t I? Don’t
worry. You’ll be fine, really. You will
recover.”
At this point, Audrey’s husband came
over to the table looking puzzled about
what was going on. Audrey repeated
what the stranger had said to her.
“Oh yeah,” said her partner. “How do
you know since the doctors don’t know
what’s going to happen yet?”
The man calmly looked into Audrey’s
eyes and replied: “I am your guardian
angel and have come here today to tell
you that you’ll be fine. I know you don’t
believe me, but mark my words: everything I say will come true.”

With that, the stranger “got up and
walked out of the bar. We never saw him
again, but here I am five years later
feeling fit and well.
“One of two things happened that
night. Either I came across a man who
was clairvoyant and could see into the
future or I truly came across my guardian angel.
“Whoever he was, he certainly knew
what he was talking about. I’ll never be
able to explain how that man – or angel
– knew I had breast cancer.”
n n n
STILL with guardian angels, B. Leddy
Bellflower of the USA posted an
account “which proves to me that loved
ones still live.”
One afternoon, she was walking down
Clark Street in Bellflower, California.
Just about to cross the road, Leddy
“suddenly felt something pull me back.
“I was startled and practically stumbled backwards. I was shocked to see a
car whiz around the corner. I could
almost feel the force of it as it came
within inches of me.”
Once she was able to get across the
street, “I heard someone say, ‘I’m here,
Edith.’ I turned around quickly as no
one had called me Edith since I was a
little girl.
“When I looked, I was surprised to
see my aunt, who had died years earlier.
She smiled and waved, and then faded
from view. This dear lady raised me and
was the only mother I had known.”
As Leddy continued on her way
home, a woman said to her, “Gee, Miss,
you must have a guardian angel!” –
“Oh,” said Leddy, “I do!”
She ended by saying it “was an experience I will long remember, for I believe my aunt reached out from the
other world to save my life.”
Here’s another American-based account which features a “dead” parent. It
came from Mrs M. Sippu, of Plymouth,
Pennsylvania, who said that when her
mother was diagnosed with lung cancer,
“my husband and I wanted her to move
in with us so I could look after her.
“However, she refused to leave her
own home. It was too small for us to
move in with her, so we purchased a
vacant lot next to her home and built a
house on it. This compromise worked
out fine until she suddenly passed away
the following summer.”
One afternoon, about a month after
her mother’s funeral, Mrs Sippu “was
sitting alone on my deck looking over at
my mom’s old home and wondering
what to do with it.
“It was so close to my new home that
renting or selling it would cause us to
lose the privacy we enjoyed yet I couldn’t just let it stay vacant, pay taxes and
maintain it.”
Suddenly, what appeared to be a
bright spot of sunlight hovered in front
of Mrs Sippu, who heard her “dead”
mother say: “Take what you want from
the house. Lock it up and let it be. On
June 8, the problem will solve itself.”
Mrs Sippu told her husband about the
incident. Although he thought she was
“being rather foolish, he agreed to go
along with my wishes to follow those
instructions.

father, was delivered on the fourth day
of the fourth month at 4.40 pm.
Not to be outdone, Emily’s mum,
Helen, was born on the tenth day of the
tenth month whilst brother Harry
arrived on the sixth of the sixth month.
Up to Hull where when she was thirteen, Mandy English threw a bottle containing a message into the sea. It was
found six months later by a six-year-old
boy, who sent her a postcard. Mandy did
not reply and forgot all about it.
When she was 44, Mandy went
through some childhood keepsakes,
found the postcard again and saw it was
from a Richard Morwood . . . the man
she was dating.
Back to the 1920s and American novelist Anne Parrish. Browsing in a secondhand bookshop in Paris, Anne spotted a title which was one of her childhood favourites.
The novelist flicked through it – and
spotted her name and old address on the
inside cover. It was her very own copy,
which she had given away many years
before. Neat stories, eh?
“One night, a vicious storm broke out.
My mom’s old house was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground. It
was insured for replacement value,
which was three times what we could
have sold it for. The date the fire
occurred was June 8 . . .”

WHILST they are nothing to do with
Spiritualism as such, here’s a cluster of
coincidences which make fascinating
reading and have stood the test of time.
Two ships sank on December 5 in
1660 and 1767 off the Dover coast.
Both times the only survivor was named
Hugh Williams. Fast-forward to August
8, 1820 when a boat capsized on the
Thames . . . and only a Hugh Williams
survived.
One hundred and twenty years later, a
mine destroyed a British tank. Two people lived to tell the tale: one man and his
nephew named Hugh Williams.
Now let’s read about four-year-old
Emily Beard, who was born on the
twelfth day of the twelfth month at
twelve minutes past twelve. David, her

WISDOM FROM THE LAND OF LOVE AND LIGHT BEYOND
Named after famous Fleet Street journalist Hannen Swaffer
(pictured left), the circle at which Silver Birch spoke met at medium Maurice Barbanell’s NW London flat for decades.
Over the years, the guide spoke on a vast array of subjects concerning life here and hereafter. Below, Silver Birch explains why
he believes the world has improved despite the bad news which
often appears in the media.
T
HESE days, news can boomerang across the world in seconds.
So it is that an event which happens many thousands of miles away can
rapidly be seen on the internet and television, reported on radio or featured in
newspapers.
So much of what we see, hear and
read is bad news. Almost daily acts of
violence and misery flit across our TV
screens. Yet humanity, Silver Birch
insisted, was progressing. He touched
upon this during a trance talk to two visitors.
“The world has improved,” said the
guide, “for one very important reason,
and that is the power of the spirit has
been at work.
“Wherever that power finds a lodgment in your world, wherever it is successful in revealing itself through capable instruments, there begins a work of
regeneration. In that work, the whole
scale of values gradually becomes
changed.
“Had it not been for the descent of the
power of the spirit in this highly organised form, then indeed the outlook
would have been very dire. But the
power of the spirit, the great leaven, has
been at work throughout the whole of
your world.
“At first there were little drops.
Gradually they became streams, then
rivers, then seas. Now there is a mighty
ocean of the spirit that will never evaporate.
“That has changed the whole course
of history; that has revolutionised the
whole outlook of man’s life. It has
brought the factor of the spirit, the eternal factor, without which all is illogical,
unreasonable and without a purpose.
“The whole direction of science, religion, philosophy, art, ethics, morality,
music, literature: the whole of life has
been changed by the recognition that
has gradually been given to the ascendancy of the spirit which rises out of the
demonstration that man is a spiritual
being who survives the earthly grave.
“There have been occasional retrogres11
sions, but the march has been onward.
Man, slowly, painfully, has evolved towards the light.”
“On the other hand,” said one of the
visitors, “if this planet were very much
better than it is, it would cease to have
any purpose because it would not be
training us to get to a higher sphere.
Therefore, there must be this suffering
to cause progress.”
“Yes,” replied the guide. “But once
man is aware of his spiritual nature,
once he has caught glimpses of the eternal reality, once he has seen, no matter
how faintly, part of the cosmic plan and
realises his place in an infinite scheme
of which he is an integral part, then he
knows that he, too, is infinite with an
infinity of life in which to develop his
infinite character.
“By that I mean that there is an infinite road of progress revealed. The summit cannot be seen for always you are
ascending.
“We are all part of the Great Spirit.
You in your totality – and the totality of
all life – comprise the Great Spirit.
Apart from the totality of life, the Great
Spirit has no existence.
“The road of progress is infinite.
Being infinite, there is no finality. Once
you have grasped that you will see that
there is no merging of ultimates because
if you could reach the stage where the
whole of your individuality – not the
small fraction that is expressed through
the physical body, but the whole of your
individuality – could achieve perfection, then the plan of life would cease to
be rational.

“Life is infinite. While you are constantly striving towards perfection,
gradually discarding in each phase of
your evolution one more fragment of
imperfection, the process is an infinite
one to which there is no end.”
Then one of the visitors asked: “Has
the mechanical age helped evolution? It
does not look like it.”
“In the end it does,” answered Silver
Birch. “You must see evolution as
something which is not a straight line. It
is a series of advances and retreats.
“Man rises and falls. Man struggles to
rise again and rises higher than he fell,
and so gradually, the race evolves. You
can point to epochs and say, ‘Look!
That is a dark stain in evolution.’ But
that is not the whole story; it is but a
part of it.
“The human spirit is gradually evolving. With that evolution there comes the
obvious lesson that is learned as more
and more understand the nature of their
own beings as more and more realise
their own possibilities, as more and
more know the plan of existence and
strive to fit themselves into it.
“Centuries ago there were but a handful who dreamed dreams and saw visions. Now the vision splendid has come
to hundreds of thousands.
“There are countless numbers of reformers, pioneers and teachers all at
work because they know what could be
and they desire to help to achieve it.
That is where the growth has been
made.”
“In that I entirely agree with you,”
said one of the guests. “There is growth,
but this planet as a whole, if it were very
much better, would not permit of
growth.” Silver Birch replied:
“But as you grow – I do not mean you
individually, I mean the race – so you
will find that the world in which you
live can be developed, too, and that you
can have a richness of life such as you
never before dreamed possible.
“You speak about the age of the
machine, but all the problems arise
because man is the slave and not the
master.
“But when he is the master then he
can have anything – the age of culture,
of leisure, of artistic accomplishment,
of the pursuits of the mind and the spirit, and riches of the inner life would be
the possession of vast numbers.
“The power lies within each one
because each is part of the Great Spirit;
the same power that created the whole
universe; the same power that fashioned
the mountains and stars and planets; the
power that gave the sun its light; the
power that gave all the perfume to the
flowers; the power that made the whole
of the universe is within you.
“You could bring it into activity if you
chose to attune yourselves by your life
to that great over-ruling force.”
“I suppose,” said a sitter, “that the
power which gave perfume to flowers
gave poison to snakes.”
“But,” countered the guide, “it is all
the same thing to me. I never say that
the Great Spirit is responsible for all
that you call good and that the Devil is
responsible for all that you call bad.”
“Potentially,” added the same ques13
“The amount of progress that society
has made is just a speck compared with
the progress that has yet to be made.”
“No, I would not say that,” said Silver
Birch. “It is small in comparison, but it
is progress.
“You must remember this: you have
evolved laws and codes, systems of
ethics; you have enriched literature; you
have plumbed the depths of the arts;
you have fathomed the treasures of the
mind; you have uncovered some of the
riches of the spirit.
“All that is due to the long succession
of people who have trod your world,
who have suffered and toiled, who have
made mistakes and blunders, who were
part of the maelstrom of which human
existence is composed.
“But taken altogether, there has been
an advance and man today is richer, not
physically, but spiritually and mentally,
than those who trod the earth in the earliest days. It must be so.”
Later the guide commented: “There is
much work to be done in spreading the
elementary facts among those who are
woefully ignorant, who do not even
know they are spiritual beings and that
they will live beyond what is called
death.
“How tragic it is to contemplate the
large numbers going through life deaf,
dumb and blind to all spiritual reality.
That is a great tragedy.
“It is to these that our efforts must be
directed, for they are the ones who must
be prepared, who must be awakened, so
that they can begin to fulfil what their
lives are intended to be.”
tioner, “we have in us all that is good
and all that is bad, too.”
“Every human being is a microcosm,”
was the reply. “In miniature, you are the
universe. There is potentially the perfection of angelhood and potentially the
foulness of the worst brutish beast. That
is why you have the free will to develop
the path along which you will go.
“I look around your world, torn as it is
by war and misery, by chaos and confusion, by distress and sadness, and think
there is much to cause the heart to ache.
“Yet I do not abandon my hope because I know the power of the spirit is at
work, that all this is a world in travail,
that out of the suffering there will
emerge, not at once, but a much better
world for all who dwell in it.”

Recently, two of my close neighbours
suffered a bereavement. First, a young
mother across the road lost her son in a
tragic accident. Within a couple of days,
an elderly neighbour’s husband passed
on after a long illness.
Both know that I am a Spiritualist.
Quite by chance, I met them on the same
morning, but apart from offering sincere
condolences, I was at something of a
loss as to what to say.
How would you have handled the situation, as I don’t think it’s diplomatic to
start talking about survival after death
to non-Spiritualists when they are still
grieving? – Maria Wilkins, Manchester.
Even many Spiritualists grieve the
passing of a loved one. Although we
have knowledge of the continuity of life,
we still miss the physical presence of
someone with whom we had a close
relationship.
At the time of writing, the horrific
events in Norway are still fresh in our
minds. It is hard to imagine the suffering felt by those whose children, friends
and relations were killed by a gunman.

There aren’t any words to console those
who lost loved ones in such terrible circumstances.
Where Orthodoxy still holds sway, I
feel it is unwise to introduce the subject
of survival after death so soon after the
passing of a loved one. I would suggest
that the fact your neighbours know you
are a Spiritualist will, in time, be a
source of comfort to them.
A well-known medium once stated
that at least a year ought to pass before
anyone should seek contact with the
spirit world, although not everyone will
agree.
However, some maintain that a
twelve-month period allows time for the
natural grieving process to run its
course and is why I think you are right
in waiting for a more appropriate time
to mention survival after death.
It may be, of course, that your neighbours will approach you at some stage
in the near future to discuss the subject.
If this happens, then will be the right
time for you to help them.
Perhaps you could lend them some
books about Spiritualism and spirit
teachings, and offer to accompany them
to a Spiritualist church should they

In the next couple of weeks I will be

won’t introduce the subject of survival
unless I am specifically asked.
in someone’s auric field mean? – Tom
Watson, Oxford.
The aura is an invisible body of light
that surrounds all living things. Just as
no two people are identical, so no two
auras are alike. The colours present can
range from a dirty, muddy brown to a
glorious, translucent white depending
on an individual’s character.
In 1879, Dr Walter Kilner was appointed in charge of electro-therapy at
London’s St Thomas’ Hospital. This was
the hospital’s first official step towards
establishing electrical treatment. Dr
Kilner held this post until about 1893.
Until the early years of the last century, auras were seen only by psychics,
but in 1908 Dr Kilner discovered that he
could view them by looking through a
screen of dicyanin (a blue dye).
This had the effect of making someone who looked through it temporarily
short-sighted and thus more able to see
the radiation present in the ultra-violet
part of the spectrum.
In 1911, he published a book called
“The Human Atmosphere.” A revised
edition was published in 1920 as “The
Human Aura” and is still readily available.
Dr Kilner claimed no psychic gifts
and insisted that anyone could see the
aura. It is still possible to buy aura goggles (have a look on Google) and see the
auras the way Dr Kilner did. Unfortunately, some people with vision problems such as colour-blindness and
extreme long sightedness cannot see it.
In 1939, a Russian named Semyon
Davidovich Kirlian accidentally discov-
I would like to try and learn to read
auras. What is the best way to go about
this? Could you also give a brief
description of what the various colours
20
ered what is now known as Kirlian photography. If you place your finger (or
any other part of your body) in a Kirlian
device, the resulting photograph will
show an array of colours around, for instance, your finger.
One fascinating aspect of these photographs is that pictures of a diseased
leaf have a completely different type of
aura to that of a healthy leaf. This raises
the possibility of aura healing.
The outer aura is oval in shape and
encircles the body like a cocoon. It
extends between six to eighteen inches
around the body.
It is larger around the head and shoulders than at the feet, so can appear to be
egg-shaped. An aura is generally seen
as an unclear haze. Often it is impossible to see exactly where it ends.
The main auras within this cocoon are
the mental aura, which is constantly in
motion, reflecting the thoughts, whilst
the emotional aura illustrates one’s feelings at any given moment. Meanwhile,
the physical aura mirrors the body’s
state of health and can show incipient
health problems up to eighteen months
before they may manifest.
The spiritual aura usually extends
from shoulder to shoulder around the
top of the head and indicates the level of
spiritual awareness and development of
spiritual faculties.
Many mediaeval paintings often
depict the spiritual aura as viewed by
mystics and artists of that time. Gold
and silver colours are rarely seen except
in the most advanced spiritual adepts.
The colours in auras all have specific
meanings depending on where they are
seen. A very brief description of the
auric colours and their meanings is as
follows:
n Red. Relates to the physical body,
heart or circulation. Powerful, energetic,
competitive, sexual and passionate. In a
good, bright and pure state, red energy
can serve as a healthy ego.
n Orange. Reproductive organs and
emotions. The colour of vitality, vigour
and good health. Lots of energy and stamina. Creative, productive, adventurous
and courageous. An outgoing social
nature.

n Indigo. The third eye, visual and pituitary gland. Intuitive, sensitive and deep
feeling.
n Violet. Relates to crown, pineal gland
and nervous system. The most sensitive
and wisest of colours. This is the intuitive colour in the aura and reveals psychic power of attunement with self.
Intuitive and visionary.
Regarding how to learn to read auras,
one avenue would be to sit in a home
circle or join a Spiritualist church’s development group to see if you have an
ability in this direction.
I also looked at www.amazon.co.uk
and found a good selection of books
about the aura. Alternatively, your local
library may be able to help as well as a
good bookshop which contains a mindbody-spirit section.
n Yellow. The spleen and life energy. It
is the colour of awakening, inspiration,
intelligence and action. Creative, playful, optimistic and easy-going.
n Green. Heart and lungs. It is a very
comfortable, healthy colour of nature.
When seen in the aura, it usually represents growth and balance, and – most of
all – something that leads to change.
Love of people, animals and nature. A
teacher.
n Blue. The throat and thyroid. Cool,
calm and collected. Caring and loving.
Likes to help others. Sensitive and intuitive.
n Soft blue. Peacefulness, clarity and
communication. Truthful and intuitive.
n Bright royal blue. Clairvoyance. It is
often seen in the aura of mental mediums.

When it’s time to pass . . .
BY MINISTER DENNIS JONES
Can someone really pass on before his or her time? Do organ
transplants necessarily prolong one’s time on earth? What is the
origin of the Spiritualists’ National Union’s (SNU) seven principles? Below, medium and minister Dennis Jones (seen left)
addresses all these points . . . and more.
I
to “Them up there” looking down on
“Us down here.” This is obviously an
oblique but somewhat Freudian reference to the understanding adopted by
some orthodox religions which has no
place in the modern Spiritualist movement.
This brings me to the vexed question
of organ transplants. Do they necessarily
prolong that period of earthly existence?
Probably not in the scheme of things, but
they might just improve the quality of
life, although “Day X” and “Day Z” possibly remain constant throughout the
equation.
An earlier incarnation of the SNU’s
philosophy and ethics committee promised to consider the issue of transplants
in relation to Spiritualism, but we still
await its findings with interest.
In his book “The Psychic Stream,”
Arthur Findlay referred to an apparent
acceptance of some concept of an afterlife which was present in all religions,
weaving a psychic thread between all of
them, but recognising that only Spiritualism constantly seeks to reinforce this
point.
This year commemorated the 163rd
AM naturally a little reluctant to
castigate others for their points of
view which are evidently honestly
held, but there are various issues within
Spiritualism which have caused me to
think twice over the years. Hopefully,
these might now benefit from some further examination.
One such issue is when platform
mediums assert that a communicator
“went before his or her time.” How on
earth do they know? Is the communicator actually stating this? If so, how valid
is that opinion?
Just because someone passes to the
spirit world at an early age does not
automatically suggest that they “went
before their time.”
My understanding of life and death
may be limited, but I believe that you
incarnate upon the earth plane on “Day
X” and depart on “Day Z,” and whatever period of time elapsing between the
two dates is probably your allotted life
span.
Another old chestnut in common use
even – dare I suggest – among some
Spiritualists’ National Union (SNU)
award-holders are occasional references
23
pared with the membership figures for
other religions.
March 31, 1848, is, of course, generally regarded as the birth date of modern Spiritualism, marking – as it does –
the date upon which the Fox sisters first
made contact with the spirit world.
However, similar and earlier events
were recorded within the Wesley family
in England and by Swedish seer Emmanuel Swedenborg’s communications
with medium Andrew Jackson Davis in
the USA.
Indeed, “An Illustrated History of the
Haunted World,” written by Jason Karl,
points to the existence of earlier spirit
activities at Epworth Rectory in 1716
during its occupancy by the Rev Samuel
Wesley, the father of Methodist Church
founder John Wesley.
The case of the Epworth poltergeist
was never brought to a very satisfactory
conclusion, although there is clear evidence of rapping and other associated
disturbances at the property.
At over 163 years of age, Spiritualism
nevertheless remains a comparatively
young religion, which is still evolving.
Having sowed the early seeds of proving survival after physical death with
the mixed experiences of the Fox family members, a number of other personalities tried their hand with mediumship
in subsequent years.
One notable American medium, Amelia Hayden, demonstrated at home and
abroad and was – in turn – applauded
and pilloried for her work on behalf of
the spirit world.
It was probably no accident that a
anniversary of the modern Spiritualist
movement. It is to be hoped that all
future anniversaries of Hydesville Day
will be remembered in a very positive
way.
For new Spiritualists, Hydesville is a
small hamlet about twenty miles from
Rochester, New York. It was here that
Kate and Margaret Fox, followed shortly afterwards by their sister, Leah, established regular, meaningful contact
with the spirit world.
Meanwhile, March 2011 contained
what might be regarded as a turning
point for our movement in the unlikely
form of the national census. When number crunchers at the Office for National
Statistics publish their deliberations,
perhaps Spiritualism may emerge with
more numerical credibility when com-

number of prominent people of the time
became interested in the movement.
Robert Owen, a socialist and one of the
co-founders of the Co-operative Society,
extolled the virtues of Spiritualism following sittings with Mrs Hayden and
other mediums.
Again, it was probably no accident
that thirteen years after his passing in
1858, Robert Owen selected medium
Emma Hardinge Britten to communicate a credible framework in the shape
of the principles of Spiritualism.
Originally believed to be five or six in
number, they later became the nowfamiliar seven principles of the SNU,
which would, in turn, become the thrust
of National Spiritualism. They read:
n The fatherhood of God.
n The brotherhood of man.
n The communion of spirits and the
ministry of angels.
nThe continuous existence of the human soul.
n Personal responsibility.
n Compensation and retribution hereafter for all the good and evil deeds
done on earth.
n Eternal progress open to every human soul.
These principles formed part of the
articles of association and became the
ultimate basis for the constitution of the
Spiritualists’ National Union in 1901.
Over the years, there have been a number of published critiques on the seven
principles. Many of these volumes are,
sadly, out of print. However, two remaining works of reference can be found.
Firstly, there’s “The Principles of
Spiritualism,” compiled by Harold Vigurs in 1984. Later, in 2007, came the
“Philosophy of SNU Spiritualism” by
members of the union’s then philosophy
and ethics sub-committee, led by its former chairman Minister Barry Oates.
This latter volume must now represent the definitive work on the principles, containing – as it does – some new
thoughts on old words. There are, for
example, new slants on the original
principles which suggest that all seven
deserve further consideration.
Without detracting from Mrs Britten’s
undoubted contribution towards modern Spiritualism, it is perhaps worth
noting that the substance of the principles was already in evidence during a
public debate between Robert Owen
and a certain Mr Campbell which took
place at Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 13,
1829, under the title “The Twelve
Fundamental Laws of Human Nature.”
Whether or not the existence of the
Cincinnati event unwittingly coloured
Mrs Britten’s apparent “discovery” of
the principles we shall probably never
know, but does it really matter?
What matters most is the fact that
modern Spiritualism now boasts a credible set of guidelines upon which life
can be based. Once again, we must
acknowledge the efforts of some of the
pioneers of Spiritualism in presenting
us with a credible legacy with which to
take the movement forward.
Perhaps one day “Those up there” will
tell “Us down here” the truth about
these matters, assuming, of course, that
they didn’t “go before their time.”

Grandmother makes
speedy spirit return
THE EDITOR’S E-MAIL INTERVIEW WITH A SERVING MEDIUM
This month sees clairvoyant Ivan Lee (pictured left) under the
mediumistic microscope as he answers various questions concerning his life and gift, telling, for instance, about a “dead” relative who made speedy contact from the Beyond.
First, Ivan responds to the points: “Were you raised in a Spiritualist household? If not, how did you discover your mediumship?”
N
O, I was not raised as a Spiritualist. In 2003, I discovered
something different was going
on within me. It came after I changed
my life around for the better. However,
looking back, all through my life there
was a feeling of Spirit being close to
me.
Where were you born and when?
I was born in Carshalton, Surrey. If I
have to say when, it was the year 1962.
Where do you live now?
I still live in Surrey. Although I have
lived in different areas, I always seem to
come back to Surrey.
Do your neighbours know you are a
medium? If so, what’s their reaction?
I have just moved, so as yet they do
not know. At my previous addresses, my
neighbours always showed a good and
interested reaction.
What psychic gifts do you have?
My strongest is communication with
loved ones. When I demonstrate, all the
psychic senses seem to work together.
Where did you develop them?
I joined a circle at London’s Wimbledon Spiritualist Church. I was very
fortunate to be with its former president, Derek Robinson, and medium
Keith Charles (the “psychic cop”), who
have both helped me tremendously with
my development.
Are you a full-time medium? Have
you had any previous occupations?
Yes, I am now a full-time medium. In
the past, I have had various jobs in retail
and mini-cabbing to name but two.
What makes a really good medium?
That’s a tough one, but honesty and
humility. Oh, and above all, a great deal
of patience and discipline.
Do you prefer private sittings or public demonstrations?
I have no preference, as they both
have their pluses.
Can you recall a couple of really
unusual spirit messages you have
relayed?
There are many I could choose from,
but at one private sitting I sat with a
lady and was relaying a message from
28
her grandmother. I recall giving her the
relative’s name and the condition which
caused the grandmother’s passing.
The look on the lady’s face made me
pause and ask if she was OK. The sitter
told me that fifteen minutes before she
came for the sitting, she received a
phone call from Ireland saying her
grandmother had just passed.
At another sitting, the first thing I said
was: “I have your husband here. He has
come in like a bat out of hell.”
This was an unusual thing for me to
say, but the lady burst out laughing and
told me: “That was the song which was
played at his funeral. That’s all I need to
know he is all right.”
“Bat Out of Hell” was written by Jim
Steinman for the 1977 album of the
same name. It was released as a single
in 1979 and again in 1993. The lead
vocals were performed by Meat Loaf.
What advice would you give to fledgling mediums?
To have patience and trust.
Do you have a family? If so, what do
they think about having a mediumistic
dad?
Yes, I have children. Well, they are
grown-ups now. I hate to say it, but I’m
also a granddad. My children take it
with a pinch of salt. To them, I am just
dad. They have always been very supportive.
What was the best day in your life . . .
and the worst?
This is a difficult question, but it
would have to be the birth of my boys
and then my granddaughter. In fact, I’ve
had many great days.
One of the worst – and there have
been a few of them – was the passing of
my dad. Even doing what we do, I
found it a very hard and emotional time.
What’s the soundest piece of advice
you have ever been given and by whom?
Probably by Derek Robinson. It was
simply this: “Always be honest with
your work. Never try and kid anyone
because you can fool others and yourself, but you cannot fool the Lord.”
What is your philosophy of life in no
more than two or three sentences?
Always be true to yourself. Always be
yourself. Treat others how you like to be
treated. Never think that you cannot do
something because if you think you
can’t, then you are right.
How do you relax in your spare time?
Well, I don’t know if “relaxing” is the
right word, but I do scuba-diving and
dancing, for which I take proper lessons.
When I can get to Stamford Bridge (the
home of Chelsea Football Team) I like to
watch them play. I also enjoy the martial
arts t’ai chi and pak qua.
What kind of programmes do you like
watching on TV or listening to on the
radio?
I am very open to TV if it’s good,
although I also enjoy movies. At the
moment, on TV I really like “Torchwood,” a science fiction and crime
drama dealing with the fictional Torchwood Institute, “Doctor Who” and usually anything on the Discovery channel.
I will listen to any rock station.
Absolute Radio is the one for me at the
moment.
What really irritates you in life and
29
other people?
I find ignorance irritating. You don’t
have to agree with everything, but people should not just dismiss someone
else’s faiths and beliefs or their way of
thinking and living.
We are all different. Even if you don’t
accept someone’s point of view, it is
always good to respect it, provided it
does not harm anyone.
What would be your perfect day?
Another tough one! OK, here we go.
Breakfast with the family, a public
demonstration, then off to watch Chelsea win.
Then it would be back home for a barbecue with friends and family before
flying off to the Barrier Reef for some
diving, so it would have to be a long
day. Failing that, I would choose a day
with friends and family just having fun.
What are your three favourite possessions?
To be honest, I don’t really have any
favourite possessions. I find that if you
are happy with yourself, everything else
is a bonus.
If you could change anything about
yourself, what would it be?
To be more understanding of myself.
We are always our worst critics . . . and
I am mine.
Are there any bad habits you would
like to give up?
Only one – and I am working on it. It’s
smoking.
If you could invite three people for
dinner, “dead” or alive, who would you
choose and why?
For my first dinner party – there
would have to be more than one – I
would start with John Lennon, as I love
his music and outlook on life.
Next would be Richard Bush, the
founder of Wimbledon Spiritualist
Church, which began in 1913. It would
be fascinating to discover first-hand
exactly how it happened and about the
movement at that time. For obvious reasons, I would also invite my dad.
What makes a Spiritualist church
really good?
The people – always the people.
Having been to many different Spiritualist churches, they all have their own
individuality, but the people in it make a
church great.
What’s the most satisfying aspect
about being a medium?
The most satisfying and humbling
thing is seeing the comfort it gives to
people. What makes it all worthwhile is
to be able to convey a message from a
loved one and give evidence of life eternal.

PLEASE COME AND JOIN US IN ‘TWO WORLDS’ READING ROOM
BY ANN BRIDGE DAVIES
A medium for over 30 years, Liverpool-born psychic artist Ann
Bridge Davies (seen left) has appeared on TV’s “The Magic and
Mystery Show” and “The Something Strange Show” as well as
demonstrating in various parts of the world and issuing two
DVDs.
Below is an abridged extract from her book “Portraits from
Spirit.” Running to 167 pages, it contains survival-proving accounts, and exercises and advice on how to develop the gift of psychic art.
P
SYCHIC drawings can be very
valuable in helping people understand themselves. A psychic
who links into the auric body of a person can sense certain impressions from
the person’s energy field. These impressions can be quite personal.
When I was in my twenties, I was visiting a friend in Bath and because it was
a lovely summery evening, we decided
to go to the local pub for a drink. We
walked into a bistro-type bar and my
friend noticed a few other colleagues
sitting by the window.
Now, because this was many, many
years ago in my youth, I cannot remember how the conversation came around
to fortune telling, but my friend suggested I look into the girl’s hand.
The girl thrust her hand towards me.
As I closed the hand, I said, “No, I don’t
do that sort of thing.” She pulled her
hand back and said: “You’re the second
person who wouldn’t read my hand. The
first said I would have an unexpected
death!”
I was shocked to hear her say that and
tried to explain that I was not going to
say that to her, but she would not listen.
However, what I had felt when I
touched her hand was a feeling of great
sadness and remorse which was not the
same as death.
We quickly left the pub and never
spoke of it again. However, the memory never left me because this is an
example of an inappropriate time and
place for psychic readings. I had not
asked to read her hand; it was thrust on
me.
Often in those circumstances words
can be said which are not right and this
scenario should be avoided at all costs.
I think the phrase goes, “Loose lips sink
ships.”
A reading is a very emotive and personal experience both for the reader and
the psychic, so when asked to do a reading on the spot, choose your words and
place carefully. Often the reading is
never forgotten, especially when it has
been anticipated for a long time.
33
Another memory I would like to share
with you regarding an inappropriate
psychic reading was many years ago
when I was taken to an outdoor market
that had stalls selling everything under
the sun, including chickens and livestock.
One of the stalls took my attention.
The stallholder was selling old-fashioned bric-a-brac and there was a row of
handyman’s tools laid out on the green
velvet cloth. My father used to have
tools just like them.
As I stretched out to pick one of the
shiny screwdrivers up, I developed a
sharp stabbing pain under my ribs. I
kept hold of the screwdriver to look at
it, but my breath was being taken away
by the pain. I must have looked peaky
because the stallholder asked if I was
feeling all right. I said I wasn’t and
could do with a drink of water.
She went off and brought back a paper
cup filled with tap water and suggested
I put the screwdriver down. Shortly
after I let go of the screwdriver, the pain
went from my side and I thought it was
due to having been a little bit dehydrated and the water relieved the pain.
Apparently not! The stallholder began
to tell me the story of how she obtained
the screwdrivers. A young man stole the
screwdrivers many years ago from a
neighbour. That night he took one of
them into town and stabbed another
young man under the ribs, who ultimately died.
After the police had done with them
(this was a time before police forensic
evidence sciences we have today were
available) they were returned to the
owners, who never used them again.
When the owner died of old age, she
was given them to sell.
What had happened was that the
screwdriver had been left with the residual psychic energy from the stabbing
impressed on it and I inadvertently
picked up the pain of the assault up
when I touched the object.
This form of psychic sensitivity is
called psychometry. The police have
been using psychics and this technique
for many years to find people and solve
crimes.
The impression the psychics received
from the objects are believed to provide
missing information for the police to
use. However, the information is not
generally used in a court of law because
it cannot be proven.
I had unwittingly received an impression from the screwdriver. This is one
reason why I don’t buy second-hand
goods unless I know where and from
whom they have come.
Psychic awareness can be a blessing
and a curse because as it is developed, it
is more than just screwdrivers we can
gain impressions from. Friends, family
and neighbours have all got living auric
energy around them, so it is best to
close off your energies as much as possible otherwise you may be tuning into
every Tom, Dick or Harry, object or animal without knowing it.
Psychic art is all about drawing and
painting earthbound energies – any
energy which can be seen, heard or felt
using paranormal methods.

THE OFFICIAL LESLIE FLINT WEBSITE
Leslie Flint (pictured left) was one of Spiritualism’s most remarkable
independent direct voice mediums. Over many years, thousands of
people returned through his gift
He once commented: “I think I can safely say I am the most tested
medium this country has ever produced . . . I have been boxed up,
tied up, sealed up, gagged, bound and held, and still the voices have come
to speak their message of eternal life”
Visit www.leslieflint.com (the only official Leslie Flint website) to learn all about this
astonishing medium and to listen to hundreds of spirit communications
36
The same process is used when drawing an aura of a person or the energy
from a rock or piece of land. You will
use the same techniques of “linking in”
to the energies and then offload onto
your paper, board or canvas in the form
of a drawing or painting.
Spirit art, on the other hand, is to do
with non-earth energies and falls into
three types: clairvoyant, automatic and
energetic using non-physical energy.
These three types connect with the spirit world in different ways.
A clairvoyant artist will see the spirit
world through their third eye and transfer what they see onto the work surface.
The images can be of faces, people, animals, memory objects and landscapes,
and are distinct from visionary art,
which may originate from the subconscious.
Clairvoyant images should always
come from images projected to us from
the spirit world as distinct from visions
and hallucinations. This is a concept
which is very difficult to contextualise.
Clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience all seem to work together,
albeit in different proportions, when
producing mediumistic images. They
can be created by using any art process
while the medium is the artist drawing
the impressions received from the afterlife.
Automatic drawing is different from
clairvoyant art because the medium is
not necessarily the artist. The medium
offers the use of their body in the creation of the artwork.
When demonstrating spirit art to an
audience when I am also giving verbal
evidence of the spirit being drawn, I
offer the use of my hand to the spirit
artist to use bypassing my own ability as
an artist. My understanding of this is
that the spirit artist will trigger the part
of my brain which operates my hand.
The spirit artist then draws the image
for me. During a demonstration, this
will take no more than two minutes to
complete, usually taking less time, then
I finish off the details clairvoyantly.
I have drawn hundreds of portraits in
this way during many demonstrations
and each one is different. I have found
that if I interfere with the drawing while
it is being created, the drawing is not as
accurate.
As an evidential portrait, it is not as
good. The nose may be too wide or long
or the features are wrong, so my aim
when drawing automatically is not to
get in the way by staying slightly to one
side of my physical body while the
drawing is being done. I have been
doing this a long time and feel safe
working this way.
After the drawing is complete, I will
then give the verbal evidence, for example, of who the person may be, what
they died of and the work they did while
alive, or the relationship to the recipient
of the drawing. Once identified as being
an accurate representation of the face of
a spirit person, then my job is done.

When spirit truths
reign supreme
BY MAURICE BARBANELL
Though Maurice Barbanell (pictured left) wrote the words
below many years ago, they are equally applicable today. The
founding editor of “Psychic News” and former editor of “Two
Worlds” for many years writes that “We are all spiritual beings.
It is not death which confers a spiritual status upon us. We survive because we are spiritual beings. We live on earth because we
are spiritual beings.”
T
HERE are not many certainties
in our lives, but there are two
events concerning which there
can be no argument. We are all born
into this world and we all die.
What are you? You might think this a
facetious question, but it is not. “Man,
know thyself ” is an ancient injunction,
but how many people know themselves?
The reflection you see in the mirror is
not you. The body which gives you so
much trouble, and is subject to age,
pain, infirmity and disease, is not you.
Your birth certificate does not tell you
who you are.
No scientist has ever discovered the
origin of life. Neither has he manufactured even a minute object that was
capable of living. He can make an atomic bomb, but he cannot make a blade of
grass.
What is the difference between a living body and a dead one? Chemically,
organically and structurally they appear
to be the same. Why is one living and
the other dead?
Why has the heart ceased to beat? Why
do the pulses no longer throb? Why has
the blood ceased to circulate? Why are
the limbs rigid?
Spiritualism supplies the answers.
The evidence obtained through mediumship demonstrates that you survive
after death. You do so not as a phantom
or as a winged, airy, amorphous being,
but as a real individual.
After death, you possess consciousness, memory, all the mannerisms that
belong to you and to nobody else, and,
most important, the ability to love. You
survive death as a spiritual being because survival is part of the natural law,
a fact which is purely biological in its
operation.
It has nothing to do with your religious beliefs – or lack of beliefs – or
your outlook. It is not a reward or a punishment. You have no alternative but to
survive.
38
As, after death, the evidence clearly
shows that you have a complete set of
faculties through which you can express
yourself as a spiritual being, then you
and I and all of us in this world today
must possess these faculties.
We are all spiritual beings. It is not
death which confers a spiritual status
upon us. We survive because we are
spiritual beings. We live on earth because we are spiritual beings.
We die merely because that which
gives animation to the bodily frame departs. The vital principle is withdrawn.
Without this dynamic, the body is incapable of functioning. If we lived our
lives rightly and in harmony with natural laws, death would be comparable to
the apple dropping from the tree when it
is ripe.
Every individual in the world is a spiritual being expressing himself or herself
through a physical body. You are not a
body with a spirit. You are a spirit with
a body – a tremendous difference.
How much do you know about yourself? Very little. Your real self is seldom
exhibited to others. We all hide ourselves behind the personalities through
which we exhibit varying aspects of our
natures.
Spiritualism reveals the purpose of
earthly life and clearly shows the relationship between our present stage of
existence and the next.
The majority of mankind has lost its
way. Most people are chasing shadows,
illusions and will-o’-the-wisps. Because
they are unaware of their spiritual
natures, they concentrate wholly and
solely upon the requirements of their
bodies. Their focus is wrong. Their perspective is erroneous.
Naturally, physical bodies require
what is necessary for their sustenance
and well-being, clothing, warmth, shelter, food and exercise.
Most people, however, do not stop at
the satisfaction of their primary needs.
They continue to accumulate and overload themselves with wealth of varying
kinds in the hope that this will provide
them with security.
How many think about the requirements of their spiritual nature? How
many realise that their spiritual selves,
which are the eternal realities, also require sustenance?
At death, we are compelled to leave
behind all the physical wealth that we
may have accumulated. We cannot take
it with us.
When newspapers print details of
wills, the accounts are often headed,
“Money they left.” Yes, they had to
leave it. It was a philosopher who wryly
remarked that it was a good thing people could not take their money with
them when they died because in most
cases it would only melt.
The body is the lesser; the spirit is the
greater. The body will crumble into dust
or be resolved into elements which no
longer maintain the form by which we
recognise one another now.
However, you, the spiritual being, will
persist. But how much do you know
about the real you? Have you found
yourself?
As a spiritual being, you are an inte39
gral part of the infinite spirit which is
responsible for the whole of the universe and all the manifold activities
which it embraces. You are part of the
vast cosmic power which controls every
facet of universal life.
You are God, and God is you. By
virtue of your spiritual nature, you are
in possession of an eternal relationship
with God which no event in life or death
can sever.
Potentially, you possess all the powers
of an infinite spirit. Within you is the
rich treasury and armoury of the spirit.
It was summed up many years ago in
the words of the Nazarene, “The kingdom of heaven is within,” to which I
would add that so also is the kingdom of
hell. You make or mar your own destiny.
You create your own heaven or hell.
Have you ever tapped that vast latent
power which is within you? Have you
ever unearthed some of the rich spiritual jewels which lie beneath the surface?
You can do so. You can learn how to
find strength in your hours of weakness,
guidance in times of crisis and help
when all seems difficult.
Within you is the power. Once you
have discovered the secret, life has a
new meaning for you and you realise its
purpose. Earth is a schoolhouse where
we are sent to learn the lessons so that
we can be fortified and equipped for the
greater life that awaits us beyond death.
The lessons have to be learned in
shadow as well as in sunshine, in storm
as well as in peace, in pain as well as in
pleasure and in sorrow as well as in joy.

helps to make our character, which is
our eternal possession.
We can cheat the laws of parliament,
but we cannot cheat the laws of God.
Spiritually, we cannot pretend to be
what we are not.
When we are guilty of greed, rapacity,
intolerance and selfishness, we are the
ones who suffer. Our spiritual natures
are stunted as a result. If we practise
goodness, kindness, toleration and unselfishness, we are better off because
our spiritual natures thrive as a result.
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.” That is a natural law.
No priest can alter it. No theological
doctrine can change it. No recitation of
a Bible text can disturb it. No deathbed
repentance can interfere with the immutable sequence of cause and effect.
Here is the practical and personal
application of Spiritualism as revealed
in the manifestation of spirit power. It is
a demonstration that we are all personally responsible for what we do and that
death will not transform sinners into
saints, dullards into sages or fools into
philosophers.
When these facts are known by all
mankind, then the whole of the earthly
scene will be transformed. Individuals
will acquire a greater stature. Life will
have a richness, dignity, nobility and
lustre. We shall be aware of our divine
heritage and will work to achieve our
divine destiny.
Peace, serenity and tranquillity will
be the natural lot of most people. Fear
will have been vanquished. A new set of
values will prevail. War will vanish and
co-operation take the place of individual and national antagonism.
Materialism and all its follies will
have been exposed. All the blots and excrescences which mar human existence
and prevent the spirit of man from finding its full expression will have been
obliterated.
The world will have realised that malnutrition and slums are not consistent
with man’s spirit. The body, the temple
of the spirit, will live in conditions more
appropriate to its setting as the casket of
a brilliant jewel.
Colour, creed, race, language and
nationality are barriers between people.
They will not be barriers when man
knows himself. The same spirit which is
within you is within every human being
in the world.
This is a divine and eternal relationship stronger than the ties of blood or
family. They will not persist, but our
spiritual relationship will endure forever.
We are members of one vast spiritual
league of nations, all part of the divine
family. Killing cannot extinguish that
relationship; neither does it end our
responsibility to ourselves and our duties to one another.
One day this profound truth will be
realised by the rulers of men and a new
order will dawn for mankind. Then the
vision of dreamers, reformers, pioneers
and martyrs will have become realised
and the kingdom of heaven on earth will
be a living reality. The power of the spirit will be known in all its glorious and
sublime majesty.

Beware the wolf
you feed . . .
WISE WORDS FROM THE WEB SELECTED BY VANESSA ATTWOOD
n n n
A BEAUTIFUL baby boy was born to a
couple after eleven years of marriage.
They were a truly devoted husband and
wife. The boy was the apple of their
eyes.
One morning, when the child was
around four years old, the husband saw
an open medicine bottle. He was late for
work, so asked his wife to cap the bottle
and put it in a cupboard. Preoccupied in
the kitchen, the mother forgot to do so.
The boy saw the bottle and clambered
up to it. Fascinated by the medicine’s
colour, he drank it all. However, it was a
potentially poisonous medicine meant
for adults in small dosages.
When the child collapsed, the mother
called for an ambulance, which rushed
her son to hospital where, despite emer-
T
HIS short but telling tale concerns two wolves and begins
one evening when an old Cherokee was telling his grandson about a
battle that goes on inside people.
“My son,” he said. “This battle is between two wolves inside all of us. One
is named Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority and the ego.
“The other wolf is called Good. It is
joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a
minute and then asked his kindly, wise
grandfather, “But which wolf wins?”
With a tender smile, the elderly Cherokee replied, “The one you feed . . .”

ing onto forgiveness. If everyone could
look at life with this kind of perspective,
there would be fewer problems in the
world.
Let go of all your envies, jealousies,
unwillingness to forgive, selfishness
and fears, and you will often find that
things are not nearly as difficult as you
think.
n n n
SOME of us stroll gently through life
with our chosen paths clearly mapped
out, including breathtaking views, serene stops and cheerfully infrequent
roadblocks.
The scenery is full of hand-painted
signs which say, “Welcome” and “Have
a lovely day!” Calming classical music
plays softly in the background.
But for the rest of us, the path we
stumble along is often the road less
travelled, and is unmarked and unpaved.
Our scenery is full of garish metal signs
which read, “Caution – bump ahead”
and “Danger – watch for falling rocks.”
Static plays in the background of our
minds. Often without warning, we are
gency treatment, he passed on. The
mother was stunned and terrified. How
would she face her husband?
When the distraught father arrived at
the hospital and saw the “dead” child,
he looked at his wife and uttered just
four words. What do you think those
words were? The husband simply said,
“I love you darling.”
His totally unexpected reaction is
proactive behaviour. The child had
passed on. There was no point in finding fault with his mother. Besides, if
only he had taken time to put the bottle
away, this tragedy would not have happened.
The mother had also lost her only
child. What she needed at that moment
was consolation and sympathy from her
husband. This is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend so much time
asking who is responsible or who’s to
blame for a variety of situations, but
shouldn’t forgiving someone we love be
the easiest thing in the world to do?

hurled off the path, getting tangled in
the undergrowth of life and ending up
with bruises.
It is easy to begrudge those around us
who don’t seem to struggle, but we need
to remind ourselves that wisdom comes
from discord. This is our opportunity to
reacquaint ourselves with our own
courage, to learn profound lessons and
to heal.
In “Earth to Tao,” Jose Stevens writes:
“The truth is that you learn the most
about yourself and life on earth from
falling off balance, then finding your
way back to balance again.
“Healing, then, is the balance or the
neutral position of acceptance. We
could therefore say that all of life is
truly an attempt at healing.”
Let us all journey together on the
“road less travelled” towards wellness,
balance and healing.

BE a little more forgiving when you
don’t want to. Be a little more helpful
when you don’t want to. Be a better listener when you don’t want to.
Be a better friend when you don’t
want to. Be a better parent when you
don’t want to. Be a better person when
you don’t want to. Be a little more loving when you don’t want to. Why? We
all need the practice.
n n n
DARE to dream large. Never quit, but
go after what you want with a totally
committed attitude. Remember that life
is so short that you must enjoy each and
every moment.
Look at your fears, laugh and then
move forward. Accept responsibility for
your actions and the type of person you
want to be. Learn to love learning.
Grow constantly. Embrace change willingly.
Never say “Never.” Think like a winner. Learn to love and forgive yourself,
and be happy with who you are.
Surround yourself with positive messages and people. Only be in charge of
your life and let others be who they are.
Be kind and think nice thoughts about
other people, always expecting the best
from them. Learn to be effective, but
not always right.
Include God in your life. Thank Him
for all He has given you, your family
and friends.
Be the type of friend you would like
to have. Make a difference to just one
person each and every day of your life,
whether it be by a smile, a gentle touch,
a kind word or a helping hand.
Learn to be flexible, for few things are
black and white and written in stone.
Above all, remember that people are
much more important than things.
n n n
COMPARED to immortality, we are
only on earth for such a short amount of
time. An average of 70-100 years seems
long, but it goes faster than we realise.
It’s incredibly important to live every
day to its fullest potential. When you’re
87 years old and on your deathbed, do
you want to look back and think of
things you wished you had done?
I don’t know about you, but I want to
look back and remember all the times
when I let myself go and had fun. I plan

to recall the occasions when I allowed
myself to try new things and opened the
door to enjoyable opportunities. Life is
only truly wonderful if you really leave
yourself open to be part of it.
n n n
IT is hard to forget, to apologise, to save
money, to be unselfish, to avoid mistakes, to keep out of a rut, to begin all
over again, to make the best of things
and to keep your temper at all times.
Likewise, it’s also hard to think first
and act afterwards, to maintain a high
standard, to keep on keeping on, to
shoulder blame, to be charitable, to
admit error, to take advice and to forgive. Yes, all these things are often hard,
but they certainly pay!
n n n
NOW here are some inspirational
thoughts from various times and individuals to put a spring in our step . . .
n If you do not hope, you will not find
what is beyond your hopes – St Clement
of Alexandra.
n Seek the lofty by reading, hearing
and seeing great work at some moment
every day – Thornton Wilder.
n The only way of finding the limits of
the possible is by going beyond them
into the impossible – Arthur C. Clarke.
n Without inspiration the best powers
of the mind remain dormant. There is a
fuel in us which needs to be ignited with
sparks – Johann Gottfried von Herder.
n n n
IMAGINE for a moment that your life
is over. You have now passed on to the
spirit world. Look at the complete story,
the finished picture, and ask yourself
these questions:
“What was best? What was worst?
When was I happiest? What did I give?
What did I withhold? How could I have
done better?
“Could I have done more for others?
What stopped me? Did I live my dreams
and fulfil my potential? If not, why not?
Did I make a difference? Have I left a
gap in the world?”
Now remember that you are alive on
earth. You still have the chance to change
things if you really want to. I believe that
most people are not afraid of dying, but
worried that when death comes, they
will not have really lived . . .

A LITTLE girl walked to and from
school daily. Though the weather one
particular morning was questionable
and clouds were forming, she made her
usual trek to school. As the afternoon
progressed, the winds whipped up along
with thunder and lightning.
Concerned that her daughter would be
frightened and possibly harmed by the
storm, the child’s mother got into her
car and drove along the road to the
school. As she did so, she saw her little
daughter walking happily along, but at
each flash of lightning, the child
stopped, looked up and smiled.
Bringing the car to a halt, the mother
called to the child to get in with her. As
they drove home, the girl continued to
turn toward each lightning flash and
smile.
“What are you doing?” the mother
asked. “Well, I must do this,” said the
girl. “God keeps taking pictures of me.”

Then came a neighbourhood craze for
ouija boards. When one was shown to
her mother, Christine was instinctively
afraid. After the glass moved towards
her and off the board, she begged her
mother not to play with it again.
Later, a life-saving operation in hospital brought about a meeting with a
Spiritualist medium, who told Christine
about the spirit world. She listened fascinated, but did not pursue the subject.
On Christine’s first holiday away from
home, her “dead” maternal grandmother, Nan Rose, appeared in a dream. The
relative said that she would always take
care of her and she must not be afraid.
However, Christine was – and again
pulled up the bedclothes.
She married and had children only to
go through what she describes as a
“testy divorce.” Christine went to a
young gypsy fortune-teller and was
impressed with the reading, but it was
only later that she consulted a Spiritualist medium.
Both her father and Nan Rose communicated. Suddenly, it was no longer
enough to hear from them. Christine

CHRISTINE SNOWDON is living
proof that it is not the circumstances
into which we are born which determine
our destiny so much as the way we live
it.
She was born in Vallance Road, East
London, 60 years ago. Her neighbours
were the notorious Kray twins. Both
families adored their mum, but there the
similarity ends.
Unlike the Krays, Christine’s life,
after a slow start, has been a steady,
spiritual progression through the realms
of love and light.
Her father was a cabinet-maker who
made his own furniture and saved all
year to give the family a summer holiday. He fell victim to the Asian flu epidemic of 1957.
After his passing, Christine began to
“see” him in her mind’s eye at night.
Knowing nothing of such matters, she
was afraid, squeezed shut her eyes and
pulled up the bedcovers. The visions

had to speak with them herself.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, she
said mentally, “If you are there, Dad,
then please talk to me.” In her mind she
heard: “Yes, I am here. You can talk to
me.”
So began the first of innumerable
conversations. At first, they were with
family and friends, but after a while
they began to include guides, ascended
masters and angels. Many of the lengthy
replies Christine received from them are
given in this book.
As well as developing as a medium
and psychic artist, Christine became a
reiki master and an angel guidance
counsellor. Some of her coloured drawings of the masters and angels she has
spoken with are also reproduced in the
book.
Christine’s story is a delightful, engaging one of hope, struggle and fulfilment. Although the style is spoken English rather than written and lacking in
punctuation, this book is still hugely
worth reading.

Press.
IT is easy enough to find people teaching aspects of esoteric philosophy, but
rarely within the context of totality.
Greg Branson does just this.
For instance, some say we reincarnate
continually, others that we have only
one physical life. Who is right? In a
sense both are, but only partially so.
How can this be?
As the author explains, we do indeed
evolve through a succession of lives,
but not as the same person. A new soul
is created from the spiritual body for
each incarnation which, he says, “does
not obliterate the earlier ones.”
Thus the spirit lives on in a new vehicle for expression, but with the karma
accumulated from past experiences. The
previous vehicle has had its life here
and will not return.
The author likens the various souls
undergoing incarnation to the segments
of an orange, which he calls the personal self or oversoul. Only one segment
incarnates at a time. There are usually
long sojourns between incarnations, but
no one forces anyone to reincarnate.
What, then, of the spirit world in all
this? Needless to say, it is so much more
than the Summerland beloved of many
Spiritualists. It is an integral part of the
evolutionary plan. After all, that is our
home: where we come from and to
which we shall return.
If you are looking for a book that
gives the broadest possible perspective
of personal evolution, this is surely it.
