Page 1 - Page 2 DAME ELLEN TERRY SÉANCE - 02.
Date: Tuesday 7th July 1981.
Sitters: Various (believed to include Bramwell Rogers, Bernard and Mrs. Cattanach).
Communicator: Dame Ellen Terry.
SUMMARY: Talks briefly about her life on earth and how important conditions are when communicating.
Terry: I do wish it were possible for everyone that is present to be able to come and speak but, of course, that really is out of the question. Innumerable souls gather round; not necessarily only the people that you might anticipate coming. All manner and kind of people are attracted, are interested and in some instances very anxious to make contact or communicate. But, of course, we have to have some organisation. It doesn't always work out, perhaps, the way in which we'd intended or in the way in which we'd hoped. But nevertheless we do as best we can under the prevailing condition and circumstance of when you gather together such as this.
Anyway, everyone here, known and unknown sends love and blessings and we hope that we shall be enabled to gather together again very shortly.
And if I may just end by saying we are very appreciative today of the conditions which you've created. The conditions are exceptionally conducive to our work. There is an atmosphere and a congeniality and a feeling and condition which is very much the way in which we like to work. So if you can repeat this session at some later date we'd be very grateful and I think you would too.
It's all a matter of time and experience, which makes our loved ones "au fait" and more able to make themselves heard and understood and to clarify many of the things that they have in their hearts and in their minds that they wish to give to you. Of course, sometimes they don't always get over exactly what they wish to convey, sometimes they do extremely well. But I feel that... you take your son, David: such a nice boy and so thrillingly excited at being able to come, and I'm sure given the opportunity he has much to convey to you. The same applies, of course, to other contacts and friends here, all of your friends, given an opportunity. It's a matter of adjustment of getting used to the method and being more free, as it were, in handling the mechanism, if I can so call it (in a sense it isn't) but transmission of their thoughts into sound; getting over subject matter of interest and giving you where necessary points of evidence, of course.
Everything is a matter of experience and I think if you can get together again as you are now constituted: an excellent little group. Of course, I know that there are other friends of yours that sometimes come and there's no reason, of course, why they shouldn't join you. But I must say today from my point of view and, I'm sure, the point of view of most of the people here, it's been an interesting experiment and experience in which we've all shared.
Anyway, we can only hope and pray that the time is not too far distant when we can all get together again.
Anyway, I must go and I leave you with all my blessings. Goodbye.
Bernard: Who are you?
Sitters: Goodbye and thank you for talking to us.
Bernard: Who are you madam?
Terry: My name is Terry.
Bernard: Oh, Ellen Terry.
Female Sitter: What a privilege...
Terry: I used to come to this house, you know, many years ago. Of course, I was a very old lady then, you know. But a very dear friend of mine, someone I had high regard and respect for used to live in this house. You would no doubt have heard about George, George Arlis.
Female Sitter: George Arlis!
Bernard: He lived here?
Terry: He lived in this house for a number of years. He was getting old then. Of course, I was old too: I was older than him, but I knew him very well, you know. And I used to have an apartment, you know, off the Charing Cross Road at that time. I'm going back now, it must be 60/70 years, I suppose. For a short time I had an apartment, you know, just off the... almost opposite the um... oh, what was that lovely theatre they pulled down now, I've forgotten the name of it.
