July 13th

Witnesses: Chris. Jon. Pat. Julie. Steve. Lee. Su. Richard.

The seance began with the medium seated in the open cabinet and red lighting set.  We understand that the energy used for the demonstration of visual phenomena by the spirit team includes ectoplasm that is blended internally until the consistency is such that red lighting may be effectively used to illuminate the demonstration.

During the first part of the evening many faces (transfiguration) were displayed over the medium's own.  In addition, physical movements were used, by the spirit team, to replicate the physical habits of communicators.  Chris recognised several of the communicators, as did Pat.  Jon also acknowledged recognition of another. The quality of the demonstration was high and at times breathtaking.

After this demonstration a period of calm was effected.  During this period the ectoplasmic energy became dissipated.  Chris noticed that, at this time, that Jon, Lee and Richard were all experiencing a trance state and were unconscious.  This, within these conditions, is acceptable within seance here in the lodge.  In fact as the 'lodge mediums' work independently for development within the same building, and also sit in support of each others development, their blending is considered beneficial to the cause.  Basically, we feel that if spirit are controlling their state of trance then spirit knows what they are doing!  NOTE:  This is entirely different to a sitter deciding to sit in meditation mode within a physical seance, which is a behaviour not permitted here. 

Finally some members of the spirit tream (Graham and John, with some signs of Elf being present) came forward to chat with sitters: http://www.box.net/shared/v2x9y7uc7743973u7mz2

A really good seance, with much occuring that offers food for thought....
