A Spiritual Journey by Bernice Winstanley

Bernice Anna Winstanley was born in the USA and came to Edinburgh with her mother when she was 16 months old. She was brought up in a very strict Catholic household and attended the local Catholic church an school. After leaving school at the age of 14 years Bernice no longer felt at one with her religion and stopped being a practicing catholic. She became interested in Spiritualism when she was 24 years old and almost immediately started working as a clairvoyant.
 
Her love for the movement was everything to her and it soon became the centre of her life. In combining her earlier teachings with her ongoing spiritual teachings she felt she had found the perfect balance in life.
   
The association she had with her doorkeeper Cabaneamba and her other spirit guides from spirit was very close. She loved helping people to understand the true meaning of spiritualism through her work and never lost her tremendous enthusiasm. Bernice is never happier than when she is working as a medium. Spiritualism is her life's work.

She was president of the Portobello Spiritualist Church from 1979 to the year 2000. In 1987 after she retired from her employment as a Housing Officer, she became the Minister of the Church.

She has for some time considered writing about how she became involved in spiritualism and at the age of 75 with over 50 years experience as a clairvoyant medium decided it was time to put pen to paper. She hopes that whoever reads her story gains an insight into how intertwined we are all with the world of spirit.

Discovering the Christ Light by David Gordon Wilson
       
Have you ever wondered what people mean when they talk about divine light, God or spirit? What do mediums do when they work with spirit? Have you ever wondered what happened 2000 years ago to create a movement that took the world by storm? This book tells you.
 
Discovering the Christ Light is a description of spiritualism and mediumship that recovers the teachings that should stand at the heart of Christianity and which were originally taught. True spirituality is simply an awareness of spirit. This book is a restatement of the Christian understanding of spirit that brings to light the truths hinted at and obscured by traditional dogma.
       
Discovering the Christ Light is aimed at those interested in knowing more about mediumship and the teachings of the higher guides in spirit and at those who are seeking to develop their understanding and spirituality, regardless of religious background. This book will also be of interest to those who are keen to explore various forms of personal religious experience.

This book is not only for those who might describe themselves as Christian or Spiritualist. Truth speaks to everyone and this is a book based on experience and a willingness to trust in reality of that experience. The author is a former City solicitor, who lived in the Middle East for a decade and is now a spiritualist medium and healer based in Edinburgh.
