Rescue Circles Part 15 Lord Dowding himself communicates from the other side. Love and loyalty on both sides of the veil. Dowding and his two wives and his widow and HER two husbands!
I have found, sitting in groups and circles, that some of the SITTERS are sometimes in need of rescue! They come in with their marital, job or relationship problems very much in evidence and dump their negative
energy on the group,and take up all the time and energy complaining about their problems, and want US to solve them, if not the spirits! It is a very
tiring experience for this to happen, and needs a tough medium, chair person or facilitator to tell them to get a life, or to take their problems to a
psychiatrist or therapist. They are not ready for development or contacting spirit if their physical life is not yet in balance, don't you think? We can
handle this sympathetically and at the same time firmly. They can come for spirit healing on another occasion, but not dump on a workshop. (There's
occasional personal dumping in committee and annual business meetings, too, but we're all human!)
But that was a digression. I have been digging
further into the archives, and here are some more
perspectives into rescue work.
One aspect of rescue work is not concerned with
sudden death and the awakening of the recently killed
in armed conflict or acts of terrorism. It is to do
with helping the progress of less evolved souls, the
thugs, criminals, murderers and abusers who are living
in dim, gloomy places, unable to escape from their
self-created misery, guilt and remorse. They are
still living in fear, desolation or unsatisfied
desire, or in just pain ignorance and apathy. Other
spirits may find themselves living in their former
religious communities, locked within them, or unable
to awaken from their last sleep (so they believed)
awaiting the last trump and the day of judgment, and
the resurrection of their long ago decayed physical
body. So they remain until helpers from our rescue
circles and from helpers in the spirit world come to
raise them up, one by one, when they are ready and
able, and take them to a more active and joyful
existence elsewhere.
It was Lord Dowding's wife Muriel who did this
type of rescue work for about seven years. She writes
about it as follows: "The work in our circle
concentrated on the people who, because of crimes
committed in this life, go to the grey spheres (I
suppose the Church would call it Hell), where they
sort of have to live it out before they can go on and
evolve. The job of the circle is to persuade these
spirits to try, not to give up hope, to go on. There
are not many mediums who are willing to do this work
because it is quite unpleasant."
Lord Hugh Dowding’s first wife Clarice helped him from the other side as he did his rescue work, and when in turn Lord Dowding passed to the other side, he communicated with his second wife, Muriel, through the mediumship of Ena Twigg, with whom he had done platform work, he lecturing and she giving clairvoyance, and through Cynthia Sandys. As Muriel sat with Ena, around ten years after Lord Dowding’s passing, first her sister came through, giving much evidential information, and then her second husband, Hugh Dowding himself, also giving much personal evidence of survival. He then told Muriel that he was engaged in his own work, but whenever there was the
slightest sign of distress in her life, he was immediately with her. “I was with you when you packed up all my clothes,” he said, referring to the days
following his death.
Lady Muriel goes on to make an interesting
observation in her autobiography about this reading.
After BOTH husbands had made an appearance she notes:
“What could be classed as irrefutable evidence of
communication was when my FIRST husband Max told me
that his aircraft had been flying towards Norway when
it came down, while my own mind had been fixed upon
Duisberg in Germany.” [This information was later
confirmed by a Danish farmer]. And of Hugh’s
communication she says “All I can say is that it was
so typically Hugh. One thing he DID tell me was that
immediately after his death, when he was out of his
body, a young airman appeared and said: ‘Happy
landing, sir. I am Max.’ Hugh’s comment to me was:
‘You never told me how good-looking your first husband
was.’”
Lady Dowding goes on to discuss the problem of
having more than one sweetheart or husband, in spirit.
Through the mediumship of Cynthia, Lady Sandys, Hugh
Dowding came to say:
“Here, there is no marriage. Neither is anyone tied
to anyone else, except through deep love ties, but
they do not encroach upon one’s complete freedom. The
personality, the ego is one’s own, however strong the
tie is, but should it usurp the deep role of love into
despotic possession, then the love tie breaks, as we
see so often in marriage on earth, and the whole thing
becomes disastrous. We do not segregate couples on
this side. We have to throw off all this silly idea
of possession. I think you [Muriel] and I already
did this in our earth lives.”
Hugh went on to talk about problems in
relationships, and interference from friends and
family. Two people he knew well on earth fell in
love, but experienced opposition. He said:
“Robert, of course, has known and loved Marie in
many lives. Love is the greatest uniting factor and
most indivisible factor which can and must be grown
and absorbed. You see, we look upon love as you look,
or should look, upon the air you breathe. Love is
life; without love there is no life but within this
pattern of etheric tissue there are all kinds and
shades of love. The first love responds to the
physical love. This is only the beginning of love.
How they will wonder and glory in the deeper love! I
cannot decide for Robert and Marie about the
interference. I can only try to lower the temperature
and bring any conscience and sense to bear, but as
they [the interferers] are not on the love ray like
Marie and Robert and myself, it is difficult for me to
contact them (this interference).”
Lord Dowding then had a few remarks to make about the
future:
“I want to tell you about the great changes which are
coming to the Earth. You must see the change in your
climate. This is partly due to all the stuff which
has been thrown into space, tearing your protective
envelope [ozone layer], so in order to avoid further
catastrophes the Earth’s tilt is being changed very
gently. This will alter the temperature everywhere
and lessen the extremes of heat and cold. The Earth
Spirit is in danger of losing touch with Mankind; so
do throw out all the love rays towards Nature and
small animals, blessing them at least twice a day.
“You have great opportunities NOW through
the understanding of the other planes, and through the
work of Love you are doing so much and helping to
change the minds of those selfish Earth worms, (I mean
the human sort!)
“Now my Beloved, I must stop; the power is spent.
Go on; You are fulfilling your destiny. My love
goes with you on all your travels and new ventures.
Have no fear and, as Churchill quoted so often…”The
Rest is Bright!”

Muriel, The Lady Dowding: “Beauty – Not the Beast”
published by Neville Spearman in 1980.
