Chapter II: THE PENDULUM, THE OPERATOR, SENSITIVITY TEST, POLARITY

By tom October 15, 2011

The degree of sensitivity is indicated by the number of gyrations made by the pendulum and although they vary very considerably with each individual they can be grouped roughly as follows: 15 to 30 weak, 30 to 50 medium, and 50 to 100 good. These figures represent the total number of complete gyrations and are not so many per minute. Since my articles on this subject have appeared in print I have heard from people who get 500 and more, in fact fact one reader claimed as many as two thousand. This last figure, although not unheard of, is very exceptional. Personally, I vary from 45 to 55 so I am, in all probability, about average, perhaps slightly below.

In this connection an interesting experiment can be made which, in my opinion, proves beyond any shadow of doubt that the human body is extremely sensitive to outside influences.

While you are carrying out a self test, that is to say while the pendulum is still gyrating, let another person lay a hand on your left shoulder, and observe the pendulum carefully. If the second person is sensitively stronger than yourself the gyrations will speed up and increase in number; but if, however, the second person is weaker the reverse will take place, the pendulum will slow down. In the case of two people of equal strength there will, of course, be no change in the movements of the pendulum.

POLARITY

I have previously mentioned positive and negative poles in relating the human body to a magnet, and I feel that this requires some explanation. If you have a horseshoe magnet, so much the better; if not, then an old horseshoe will do, or even a piece of metal or wire twisted into the shape of one will serve equally well. Place the magnet, horseshoe, or what have you, on the table in front of you with the arms pointing away from your body. Take your pendulum in your right hand and suspend it over the right hand arm of the horseshoe and you will find that it will gyrate in a clockwise direction, which we will in future call “positive ‘. Now move it over to the left-hand arm of the horseshoe where it will change from clockwise to anti-clockwise gyrations, which we will in future call “negative”. Now hold your pendulum over the base or curved part of the horseshoe, that is, the part which will be nearest to your body, and you will find that the pendulum will oscillate from side to side because it is in a neutral field, that is to say, neither positive nor negative. So much for the magnet or horseshoe, which should now be removed from the table. Now let us see what happens to the human body. Place your right hand, palm uppermost, on the table and with the left hand suspend the pendulum over the right and you will see that it will gyrate positively or clockwise. Reverse the operation, that is to say, suspend the pendulum over the palm of the left hand, and the pendulum will gyrate negatively or anti-clockwise, just as it did in the case of the magnet or horseshoe.

In order to take this test a little further, place an ordinary pencil on the table in front of you, parallel to your body—it will therefore be in a North-South line, and suspend the pendulum over the middle of the pencil. The pendulum will immediately swing along the pencil. Now move your hand along the pencil, first to the right, and when the pendulum is over the end of the pencil it will change from swing to gyration (positive). Move the pendulum along the pencil again, to the left this time, and it will swing again until it is over the other end when it will change over to gyration but negatively this time, that is to say, anti-clockwise. It is quite good practice to get someone to cover any object with a cloth or large piece of paper. With the aid of your pendulum you will be able to find the object and its extremities. In the case of a square object the pendulum will gyrate at the corners and swing along the sides, but in the case of a circular object, such as the top of a tin, it will gyrate clockwise round the circumference of the object,
