The Grove Physical Circle

Park Grove Church recently ran an experimental opportunity to its members by inviting applicants who were interested in experiencing the conditions and energy of a Physical Circle. The circle has been running in Park Grove for several years for the phenomena known as Transfiguration. This is where the Spirit operators are able to manipulate energy upon the face of the medium so that guides and family members are able to recognisably show themselves. The circle has been meeting since 1998 and was initially founded by Church members Ruth & Jack Waklin with Carol Ellis as the medium.
For the purpose of the experiment church members in 2010 were invited to join the group on rolling programme covering 6 – 7 weeks. It has taken over a year to run the programme and during that time the sitters joined in groups of three. The circle has also experimented with lighting, namely red and blue lights, both have been successful with people in the spirit world being recognisable under these different light conditions.
Feedback has been crucial to the experiment and this is where truth, sincerity and honesty apply. Several members experienced emotional reunions with mothers, fathers and loved ones. Upon closure of the circle after each sitting, there would always the opportunity for discussion, questioning and clarification. Sometimes emotions would linger but in a positive way helping to uplift and establish that there is no death and that reunion is possible now and that we do not have to wait until we enter the Spirit world. It is always an honour to be a part of a reunion and an emotional healing can and does take place for some. This is the joy of working with the Spirit world in this manner.
Over the years the build up of energy has been progressive. It is seen that the regular fortnightly meets are part of the preparation process for the more public demonstration which a few of the recent sitters were able to take part in. Again, feedback has been essential giving the sitters the opportunity to analyse the different situation and discuss. The Circle was named one night as ‘The Grove’ physical circle and apt name for a circle that been sitting in Park Grove Church for nearly 12 years. There have been several demonstrations that have taken place with positive feedback within various Churches and Centres throughout the country, Sweden and Germany. Should any Church or Centre be interested in holding a
demonstration or workshop on trance and physical mediumship please contact Tony Leeson (Circle leader).

Update

Well sorry for not keeping this blog up to date ,but in the words of that pop song by the Beatles I will be able too " with a little help from my friends"

Everything seemed to go well on Sunday. I cannot comment as I was not at the church at all(as you regulars may have noticed)This has not happened in a long while.

Marilyn Webb on Monday eveing gave an excellent demonstration of her mediumship. Her clearly defined words of love from the Spirit World came with excellent evidence of survival from loved ones and family of the many recipiants. Can I say a big thank you to Marilyn for her lovely work at Park Grove. Another well done should go to the chairperson, Kim Rogers this time. The work behind the scenes so to speak seem to go un noticed, so thank you all who work in some way to make the church what it is. What is needed is positive criticism not negative. One thing that we are trying to do, is to make gradual changes, that will bring us into the 21 centuary

THE BEGINNINGS OF MODERN SPIRITUALISM

The Fox family moved to a homestead in Hydesville New York State and in 1848 they were disturbed by noises, knockings, movements of objects and other apparently supernatural phenomena. Two of the children Catherine and Margaretta discovered that if they spoke out then the mysterious noises seemed to respond. It became clear that these phenomena were not just random manifestations of energy but were under the control of some unknown invisible intelligence. In a world where such happenings were feared and labelled by many as of satanic origin, in a world where religion regulated many aspects of life and forbad spirit communication these fantastic happenings soon gained the attention of neighbours and family acquaintances. The news of these happenings spread far and wide, at times scores of bystanders came to marvel at the unexplained knockings and noises.

The Fox family suffered scorn, ridicule, and persecution but because of them the truth of spirit communication and advice from spirit people as to how to organise communication circles came and has been followed ever since. A committee of investigation was formed and communicated with the unseen intelligence harassing the Fox family. The committee listened out for the response signal knocks and they established that the communicator was Charles B Rosna, who had been murdered and buried beneath the cellar of the homestead. An excavation of the cellar later proved that there was indeed the remains of a body buried there.

The Hydesville occurrences showed that a system of communication was possible and that spirits could direct and give guidance helping the process. They explained, and it was shown to be correct, that certain people were naturally mediumistic and that communication using a code enabled strikingly accurate and detailed information to be communicated. The printing press, cheaper newspapers and books, the greater literacy amongst the people meant that many learned about this new spirit phenomena and how it could be replicated by forming circles in homes and with the guidance of the spirits themselves. So from this first modern example sprung up development groups and spiritual phenomena flowed from many quarters providing innumerable people with personal joyful corroborative evidence of the existence of a spirit world that could communicate with those still on earth. And these people in turn became advocates to the Spiritualist cause
