...Most of the Mercury Circle sittings were recorded on cassette tape.
The quality of the recordings range from okay to not so good due to the basic equipment we had back then.
When Dave was circle leader in 2001 and 2002 he brought along his own recorder which produced by far the best quality recordings.
Here are a few of the clearer audio clips from the archives...

Mercury Circle 24/07/2002

There were only three sitters this week… Dave, Daisy and Travis.

It was decided to experiment sitting in red light with the cabinet open.

Freddie soon came through for an interesting 40 minute chat.
He talked about life on this side including…

‘…there’s a start and there’s a finish and you’ve got to go from one end to the other and no matter what they bloody well throw at you, you have to deal with it… and what really the examination board are after is HOW you deal with it…’

He also talked about life on his side including…

‘…all men and women here build their own castles. You can have a hut or you can have a castle and it’s all of your own making. You can’t blame anyone. You can thank people for guiding and helping you but you get what you deserve and that may sound very frightening to you but if you get your comeuppance here it is done with kindness and love and understanding of your faults or your problems that you had. It’s quite wonderful. There’s a pure simplicity about the understanding, it really is white light and they don’t make you feel ashamed, YOU feel ashamed and you want to improve and wash away any dark smudges you might have around you and it’s quite joyful to do that. But for goodness sake don’t think I’m trotting around heaven like a saint. I am the same bloke here as I was there, we just have a slightly different way of thinking…’


Then Tob came through with some words including…

‘…many wild dogs run in pack and many people frightened of packs but within that pack is love and loyalty… When you meet with a pack of people that you cannot relate to, that you can have no understanding with, try to learn about them and they are no longer a wild pack…’
