"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." --From Hamlet (I, v, 166-167)Last night I was invited to a séance. The purpose of this Circle is to demonstrate through physical mediumship and communication of the continuation of life after death.
My own personal belief is that there is only Infinite Love appearing as infinite manifestations. Infinite Love is eternal Life here and now. Love doesn't experience the cycle of birth and death. However, in this dream called life on earth, I am aware that life and death seem to be occurring and that people appear to "lose" their loved ones who have passed on to the "other side." While I do not share the Circle's paradigm of the "after life", I support any idea which demonstrates through physical evidence that there is a whole lot more to life than what we can discern with the senses.
Although this was my first experience in this kind of setting, I was very excited, curious and open to whatever was going to unfold.
This is my take on the event.
The medium sat in the corner. His body was tied to a chair and his arms and legs were strapped to the arms and legs of the chair. I was asked to check to see if he was secure and I confirmed he was. The sitter that was closest to the medium had one arm tied to the chair and another sitter next to what is called the "cabinet", a empty space with a curtain around it, had his feet tied. This was to ensure that no funny business/charlatanism was occurring. The rest of us wore badges that glowed in the dark, which I presumed would alert anyone if someone was moving about. After the host read a prayer, the lights were switched off and it was pitch black. The host played some music on the CD. We listened to the first two songs in silence and sang along to pop love songs. It felt like we were having a Karaoke night in and it was quite fun.
The first thing I noticed when the lights were off was what looked to me like a purple mass moving around the room. Sometimes, the mass looked dark blue, then it went back to purple and then pitch black. In the background I could see badges glowing which indicated where the sitters were. After a while, the blackness of the room seem to come to life and even obscured the badges glowing in the dark. When this happened, I focused on the badges which took away the blackness for a short while until the blackness would get thick again and all consuming.
At some point I could hear movements and sounds from where the medium was supposed to be sitting. It sounded like something was being snapped or pulled apart, but then again that was my perception. Then I heard something being tossed to the other side of the room.
After we'd been singing for a while, a voice announced itself as some spirit entity that wanted to communicate. The host turned the CD player down and asked the entity, who had a male sounding voice, several questions about who he was and his purpose. He mostly discussed the energy they were using to appear and their ongoing experiments which I'm not privy to as it was my first sitting. Though I can't recall the actual conversation I thought it was interesting that the voice was being projected from a different part of the room. After the entity had been asked several questions he withdrew and the host turned on the red light. It was then we discovered the medium sitting in lotus position in the middle of the room free of all straps, while the chair he had been sitting on remained in the same position with part of the straps still in place.
Was I shocked to find the medium had been teleported from the chair to the middle of the room? Not particularly because I know all things are possible when you totally surrender to Spirit. The medium had been in a trance and had let Spirit move him. The host asked me if I was scared and I said I wasn't. I knew that Love was the only reality in that room and there was no room for any other reality. Besides, I was having way too much fun anyway.
I'm so grateful to my friend and host for giving me the opportunity to take part in that experience, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
All my love.
