More information on the Recording Circle (also
referred to as the “Big Circle” in the context of
both the physical and spiritual worlds) is available
at the
Big Circle website.
The group recording sessions first initiated by
Martha and Karen are continuing. A then-new member,
Patti, sent an email asking for more information
about the group. Included here is a summary of
questions and answers, provided courtesy of Karen:
Karen: Welcome to our world Patti, I will try to
answer some of your questions.
Patti: I am absolutely fascinated with the idea of
getting a group of people together specifically for
the purpose of recording EVP. For those who are
currently sitting in such a group, could you give me
some information about your group: Where do you
meet?
Karen: We have a meditation Circle which we call,
“Recording Circle—Bridge to the Afterlife,” which is
all over the country and involves a coming together
of anyone in the group [AA-EVP Idea Exchange] or
family/friends who wish to record or meditate in an
effort to reach our loved ones through EVP or
meditation.
Patti: Do you change locations?
Karen: Location is wherever you are and can
participate. Martha has hers in a Darkroom which her
husband Don built for her. It is similar to a psychomanteum.
Patti: Do you meet at a set day and time?
Karen: Usually every other Thursday at 8:00 PM EST.
Patti: How many people are there in your group? How
many usually attend a session? WHERE DID YOU FIND
THEM??
Karen: No set number. Just whoever wishes to
participate. Participants are AA-EVP members and
their relatives or friends.
Patti: Do your sessions have a set order?
Karen: We begin at 8:00 PM EST and record/meditate
for ten minutes and then usually do a brief review
and then one more ten minute session.
Patti: Is there a designated leader for the session?
Karen: Martha Copeland founded the Sessions but we
are all part of the Circle. I will generally send an
email reminder a half hour before the session
begins.
Patti: Does this change for each session? How many
people are taping during the session? When do you
review the tapes?
Karen: No, unless indicated. Sometimes we have to
change the day or time but we try to be consistent.
I believe our communicators would appreciates this
consistency as they are working to a schedule as
well and since they have work to do just as we do,
it is a time they can plan on.
[Note: The number of people recording varies and is
not really known since many who do participate, do
not often post messages to the group. Each
participant reviews his or her recording from the
session. Should they record an EVP that seems to
apply to the Big Circle, perhaps one of the names on
the roster of loved ones on the other side that is
maintained by Martha Copeland or a message that is
clearly from one of the experimenter's loved ones,
the message is posted to the Egroup or onto the Idea
Exchange in the
Results from Recording Sessions forum.]
Patti: Anything else I should know???
Karen: Join us if and when you are able. We would
benefit form your energy, especially considering
your expertise and field of study and practice.
Follow the e-mails. A most warm welcome to you.
Patti: I just want you to know how very, very glad I
am to have found you!
Karen: And we are glad to have you.
