Dowsing is a gift of nature. Either you have it or not.
And this is where the argument with the non dowsers begins. People who can not dowse, can not accept that it happens. So, non dowsers, please don't argue any more, it's not a big deal, I can make you dowse, read on and find out.
Dowsing, or biolocation by some, is an ancient technique. As very correctly written by Sandsted in this forum, dowsing is 8.000 years old.
A cave painting found at Tassili nAjjer, in the Sahara desert, was calculated to be circa 6.000 B.C. The painting shows a crowd watching a dowser searching for water.
Furthermore, dowsing was recorded by Egyptians, circa 3.000 B.C.
The Hebrews used dowsing at 2.000 B.C. after their escape from ancient Egypt. In Bible, activities are recorder, by their leader Moses :
Take the rod... and speak ye unto the rock... and it shall give forth water (Numbers 20:9 11).
Further on, Cicero, an ancient Roman author (50 B.C.) has recorded the use of Virgula Divinatorium, which in Latin means 'a small stick which oscillates'.
Too many names and dates to list, it seems endless to me, the more I read, the more I find.
Recently, in 1986, Moglia reported a study at the Monastery of the Caves, in Kiev. There, a conventional sub-surface radar had failed to locate secret passageways. Of the 130 sites indicated by dowsers, 73 corresponded with existing passageways, previously known to the curators but not to the dowsers. At further 29 dowsed sites previously unknown to the curators, test drilling revealed cavities. Moglia reported at his study, a total success rate of 78%.
Through history, from the hundreds of people engaged in successful dowsing experiments, by Engineering Companies, Water Companies, Mining Companies, Breweries, Building Contractors, Farmers, Government Departments, Police, Armed Forces, e.t.c., only Randi failed (1979) to conduct a test in Italy, using 3 buried pipes with running water. Chamberlin (1980) recorded that Randi's test had several deficiencies, and no meaningful statistical evaluation was possible, so the test contributed little knowledge to the scientific community.
So, Randi failed... do you, all non-dowsers, know why? Because he didn't know.
If you are a non-dowser, and you desperately want to dowse, just wash your hands and keep them wet while dowsing.
Trust me, you will feel the difference.
