That would be quite shocking Mac!

Hello I am Maree.
How wonderful to hear George Eldred being discussed,
I knew George, I started my Spiritual pathway at the VSU Melbourne in 1980
and attended many of Georges discussions and his Esoterical evenings
witnessing George in Trance.

[quote="mac"][color=#000000]In reality any discussion about George Eldred was over some time back, the genuineness of later contributions becoming ever less con
Dear Mr Mac.
As this was my first contribution, only discovering this site, I was not expecting such a nasty rebuff from you for mentioning
the name of George Eldred, He was indeed a Spiritual man who helped many along their pathway including myself.

Dear Mr Mac.
Thank you for your kind reply.
I was indeed happy to find this site, having started my pathway at the VSU IN Melbourne.
I have been living in England now for quite a few years, am on a committee at a Church hertfordshire
and work as a Medium in Hertfordshire and around London.
I was very saddened to read of all the internal disruption within the Church in Melbourne.
If we cant work together in a peaceful and harmonious way within the Spiritual movement
What hope is there for world leaders to bring about peace and end all the discord.
LETS ALL JUST TRY A LOT HARDER ...WE NEED THAT LIGHT TO GO OUT NOW MORE THAN EVER.
Forget about self importance. It is definitely not what it is all about.
BLESSINGS TO ALL MAREE X

Hi Maree,

Welcome to the site, I have had no experience of the VSU but my wife Lis started her Journey to become a medium in George Eldred,s circle back in the late 1960's. Continued there until she moved to London in the 70's where she went on to work on the platform for a circuit of churches around East London over a 13 year period before coming back to Aus and Adelaide.

I have heard of the issues at the VSU and their adoption of a different set of principles. I believe there are very few churches now affiliated which seems a shame but we have little or no contact with the churches there just a few of the mediums, some of whom run there own centres and were once strongly involved with the VSU, like Joanne King

Perhaps you know (of) Jim and Lis, the website owners, from your time living 'down-under'?

Dear Mac.
I cant recall ever meeting Jim or Lis Bless Maree

Dear Jim.
Thank you for your welcome.
The VSU certainly sounds like a completely different church than the one I knew. It is a very similar trend here at the moment. Some people
are strong in their belief that the SNU as it is referred to here is the way which will make the religion of Spiritualism accepted and respected as
a recognised religion , on a par with orthodox religions whilst maintaining our core beliefs. There are also many many centres everywhere being
run by Spiritual people which many mediums serve, The wonderful thing about Spiritualism is it allows the individual to grow and expand on their own
pathway, without being boxed in to one way of believing...The seven Principles which it adopted is at the core, even though some now feel it time
to change and bring them into this era, changing what they feel is right for them.
The church where I am on the committee, is an SNU church and we are very happy with this.
Has Lis heard of a medium called Mavis Patilla? I am going to one of her workshops this weekend in Manchester.
Bless Maree
