Establishing a mental convention with your pendulum

You are going to begin your apprenticeship by using some material aids that will serve to amplify the vibrations of the replies you are monitoring.

These aids will be remarkably effective in helping you to sort out the responses.

Get yourself six pieces of white card, each shaped in a square with sides measuring about 5 cm. You are going to write a word on one side of each card, in Indian ink or a black felt-tip pen, as follows:

1^st set of 3 cards:

First card, write:           YES

Second card, write:      PLUS

Third card, write:         POSITIVE

2^nd set of 3 cards:

First card, write:           NO

Second card, write:      MINUS

Third card, write:         NEGATIVE

You should of course make sure that nothing shows on the other side of your cards (the ink should not soak through the paper and no clues should be visible).

Then place the first word from the first set of cards in front of you, under your pendulum, face up.

Gently swing your pendulum backwards and forwards...

Then wait until it decides to turn.

Make a note of the direction in which the rotation occurs.

Repeat the exercise with the other 2 words from the same set.

Each time, note which way the rotation occurs.

Then repeat the exercise with the 3 words in the second set.

When your pendulum turns in the same direction 3 times for each set of "witnesses", you can be pretty certain that you have established clear mental conventions.

However to make absolutely sure, it would be a good idea

to do a further check.

Hold your 6 square cards with the back (blank side) facing you. Mix them up in exactly the same way as you would shuffle playing cards. Then place them on the table in front of you in a single row, with the side that has been written on hidden from view. Then you simply need to question your pendulum by dangling it over each square card to find out which set it belongs to.

Be sure to make a note of the responses you have obtained.
