USING A PENDULUM?
By using a pendulum as a dowsing tool, we can make and feel an obvious and perceptible connection with our very own High-Self Committee and the universal intellect, often known as collective unconsciousness. When our connection is very clear and evident, the answers we get can become strong and consistent, and we can sense the pull of the pendulum in a certain direction.
Using pendulums can also be better understood if we compare them to TV antennas, which receive and transmit electromagnetic signals. Just like our brain’s natural electrical current functions as a receiver that has the ability to receive unseen vibrational vibrations and translate them into visual signals, the pendulum acts as a detector and a transmitter of information by moving in specific directions that we have established to mean something.
An enthusiastic dowser, Albert Einstein thought pendulums tuned into the electromagnetic waves that are released by everything and everyone could be useful. Nikola Tesla, another prolific inventor and user of dowsing tools, was also an avid admirer of «energetic» information.
The true mechanics of how a pendulum works still remain a mystery, however, even though dowsing is an ancient practice that’s even depicted in cave artwork and Egyptian hieroglyphics. So even though we don’t know how dowsing really works, we do know that dowsing has been in operation for ages, which astounds us with its accuracy. And just as we don’t know how electricity, a radio, or a television operate, we still make use of their powers and enjoy their many benefits.
THE GUIDELINES FOR A «STRONG» DOWSING RESPONSE
Part of the secret to a pendulum’s extra-powerful reaction is its symmetry. A cone-shaped pendulum that is substantial in size is a simpler and easier tool for novices to operate since they can follow the point for accuracy. The combination of these two elements makes the answers easier to perceive. Novices who prefer this shape and its symmetrical qualities, describe these pendulums as more «receptive» and thus view them as ideal tools.
Also, they want their pendulums to be of a specific weight since the weight acts as a grounding element. They find a lightweight pendulum hard to control motion-wise. A heavier pendulum helps them maintain control over the pendulum’s motion, so novice dowsers tend to favor them. These three qualities of shape, symmetry and weight enable even the most inexperienced dowsers to succeed in the beginning.
Shape and size, however, rarely matter to seasoned dowsers, because they can get over any constructional singularities as they become more secure and adept in their dowsing skills as time goes by. The more seasoned the dowser however, the more likely they are to select extremely light-weight pendulums, since prolonged use might strain the wrists and fingertips.
DOWSING IS A SCIENCE
Like anything else, dowsing is first and foremost a science, requiring appropriate training, practice, and a commitment to following protocols. Additionally, a complete comprehension of natural rules as well as the knowledge and adherence to the laws of divinity, guarantee a direct and coherent connection, as well as relevant and interference-free responses.
Although everyone may dabble with a pendulum, mastering dowsing is akin to mastering a musical instrument. It requires a great willingness for constant learning, a natural inquisitiveness, a genuine desire to help others along with time, practice, and of course, the humility to engage in trial and error as an inevitable curve in the learning process. The outcomes dowsers receive are indicative of their overall and spiritual developmental stages. The greater their knowledge and the higher their awareness and energetic attunement, the better and more informed their answers are.
Please take note that using pendulums for psychic voyeurism or selfish purposes is not appropriate; instead, we should use them for the benefit of others and ourselves without causing harm in others. For additional information about this topic, please see our page «What Dowsing Cannot Do».
