"When I first came into
Spiritualism I had suddenly a great thirst for knowledge. I read all
the Spiritualist books that I could lay my hands on at that time;
some were good and some were boring. One book that I read was 'Voices
in the Dark' by Leslie Flint.
Not long after, someone came to our
little Spiritualist Church and asked if anyone wanted to go to London
in a mini-bus to see Leslie Flint.
We jumped at the chance!
We
arrived in Paddington, where Leslie used to live, and I remember it was
Autumn time, because Bram Rogers was sweeping all the leaves up.
We
went into the downstairs back room and sat down and the lights were
turned off. That was the first time that I have ever sat in 100%
complete darkness. I could not even see my own hand in front of my
face!
We sang two
songs, but I forget the first one. Leslie said we should sing I'm
Forever Blowing Bubbles, as Mickey liked that one...and as we sang
it, a tiny voice came in and then suddenly it BOOMED OUT!
Mickey,
who was Leslie's spirit guide, came to me with the first Direct Voice
message. We had also other entities who came into talk to us and
sometimes we even heard Leslie Flint talking as well, as he was not in a Trance. It was marvellous. I have heard other people try to do the
Direct Voice, but they were NOT the same. Thanks Mickey you were
enlightening and funny too!
Afterwards, we had a brief chat
with Leslie and then he retired to his bed, as he was elderly then. He
retired to Hove a fortnight after our seance.
Bram Rogers
asked us if we would like a copy of the tape - which was recorded by
a reel-to-reel tape recorder with a microphone on a stand - and did we
wish to buy Mickey's picture, which I did, and he posted them to me
later on.
What a mindful experience it was and still is!
I
saw a Trance Medium a month later and that was so flat compared to
what we had experienced."
