Mystery Test For a Medium

February 25, 2021 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This is a fascinating article from 1959 which gives us insight into the superb quality and also the mechanics of Gordon Higginson’s platform mediumship.  It is the verbatim transcript of a demonstration to test Gordon’s mediumship which was arranged following some accusations of fraud. The SNU deliberately chose a church Gordon had never worked at and he did not know the venue of the service until he was driven there on the day.

 

All of the evidence from the demonstration was recorded and is presented here.  Within contacts given to 12 recipients, he gives 38 names, of which 14 are the full names.  He also gives 20 addresses or place names, including 5 full addresses.  The audience was left gasping in amazement at the quality and depth of evidence, which fully dispelled any accusations of fraud.

 

What is also fascinating is that Gordon gives evidence that is not understood, but practically all of it is subsequently repeated and placed with later recipients.  Gordon had a very strong clairaudient ability, and it is likely he was hearing information from more than one communicator when this happened.

 

I do hope you enjoy this article, which demonstrates why Gordon was held in such high esteem as one of the finest demonstrators within Spiritualism.

Interview with Jean Bassett 1989

August 9, 2019 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This is an interview that Gordon Higginson recorded with Jean Bassett in approximately 1989 at Stansted Hall.  It runs for 1 hour and 4 minutes.

 

This interview formed the basis of the chapter on Gordon Higginson in Jean’s book “100 Years of National Spiritualism”.  The book was published in 1990 and looks at the history and first 100 years of the Spiritualists National Union (SNU) of which Gordon was the President.

 

In the interview, Gordon discusses the fascinating story of how he became President and went on to save the Union and the Arthur Findlay College for future generations.  He also talks about his early life, his wartime experiences, his work as a demonstrating medium plus the development of his physical mediumship.

 

This is one of the best interviews about Gordon himself and is of significant historical importance.  It was recorded on a hand-held tape recorder so the quality is not that of a professional recording, and there is some handling noise.  Nonetheless it is of good quality, and is well worth a listen as it gives us great insight into Gordon and the legacy he created.

Presidential Address 1992 – The Future

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

Do you remember the modest epitaph that Robert Louise Stevenson composed for himself?  “Here lies one who meant well, tried a little and failed much.”  I expect that those words would suit both you and me.

 

There comes to my mind an old story of an American whose store caught fire and in a few hours was completely gutted – burnt out!  In the morning the passers-by, as they stopped to look at the smoking ruins saw a notice pinned up to a part of the wall that was still standing.  ‘Every thing lost except hope; business will be resumed as usual tomorrow’.  I have remembered this story quite often because there seems to me to be a deep and essential truth within it about life.  So often that which keeps us going is hope; if we lose that we come to a complete standstill.Continue Reading

President’s New Year Message 1992

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

WHAT DOES THE NEW YEAR HOLD FOR SPIRITUALISM?

 

The past year has been one of considerable activity and progress.  The searchlight of publicity has once again been turned upon our movement, most of it exposing our weaknesses and in some cases highlighting the limitations of some members of our movement.  However, there occasionally emerges the one great central factor which is the foundation of Spiritualism – man’s survival beyond the grave.

 

As we advance, so too will the forces who attempt to retard our progress double their efforts to oppose us.

 

I remind you of the immortal words spoken to Mrs. Estelle Roberts, one of the world’s finest mediums, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at the Royal Albert Hall Remembrance Service in November 1934. “Go forward!  Prove to the world the continuity of life after death and don’t give an inch.”  I believe these words mean as much for Spiritualism today as they did fifty-eight years ago.   Our mediums must make every effort to prove that life continues after so-called death.Continue Reading
