Hi Jon,
Again, I really appreciate your insight into this dowsing. I'm a "beginning" channel and my thinking was that dowsing was another form of channeling. (I am a little reluctant to heavily advertise this as I am one of those people who are considered to be very logical and scientific.) The structure of asking specific and detailed questions is the same for channeling. However, the rule is that you cannot channel for yourself. Do you find that you can dowse for yourself very well? And does the "equipment" help? I'm looking into buying my first L Rods and Pendulum. I was looking at the KellyCo Detectors website and they had these outrageously priced (a couple grand) dowsing instruments. Are these made to tune into something that other L Rods cannot? (I'm talking about the Titan II Pendulum and PMR II made by Simmons Scientific).
I'm still reading through the "want to dowse post" so more questions will come,...
Of course, any dowser in this forum can answer these questions as well. I would like to hear about everyone's experience dowsing.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
I think dowsing is related to channeling in the sense that the instrument is the "communication device" vs. how a channeler is receiving answers. However I have not studied channeling but believe that it works for a person who believes in it. I dowse for treasure for myself, is that what you mean?
Dowsers can get answers to something that is already know, provided they phrase the correct questions.
The questions need to be asked in a yes/no fasion. Let me know if you need me to elaborate more on this. The equipment does make a difference, I have used pretty much everyone's tools. The question is do you need the top of the line equipment? I can compare these varoius models of dowsing tools to metal detectors. The Simmons scientific models, the Fred Stewart models, and pretty much someone's tools that are manufactured to very high standards and construction materials can be compared to Tesoro, Whites, Fisher, Garrett, Minelab, ect. whereas a person using tools made from redily available material can expect to have the performance compared to somewhere in between a radio shack metal detector up to the name brands mentioned above. Keep in mind a crude set of brass L-rods will get the job done just as the top of the line instrument, but the pricey one will do it quicker and with better accuracy, not to mention the other features that the crude brass rods don't have. The Simmons/Stewart models come with what is called a bait or sample/witness chamber. This enables the operator to place a small amount of the material that you are looking for into it. This "tunes" the rod to this material type. So if you were to use this type of rod and bait it, pick it up and start searching with it, it would react to whatever type of material you placed in the chamber with an ok amount of accuracy. However, if you were to do this and combine a mental image and question then your success and accuracy will be far above your highest expectations. Some dowsers don't use a physical bait but rather employ a mental bait and have the same amount of success. I like to use a physical bait beacause it helps keep things on track should I have a sudden lack of attention or a distraction when i'm in the field. Another feature of these manufactured rods is the power load/amplifier designed to boost your bodily electricity out the antenna end stronger than it's input was. This in turn provides the operator with greater sensitity and range. These rods also have a smooth bearing handle for nearly friction free movement and come in 2 or 3 pieces and are easy to store or transport and can be quickly assembled in the field.There are some other subtle features that I won't get into here that give them the edge over other equipment.
The Titan II pendulum is specifically designed for gold/silver only along with the dowsing questions surrounding that. I don't know of anyone who has bought this pendulum for a purpose other than gold/silver. Sort of like Tesoros diablo gold detector, built for a very specific target detection.
So now back to the crude brass rods... can those be baited? yes by simply taping the material onto the antenna. Can they be made with bearing handles?...yes. Are they sensitive and have decent range? yes.
I would like to suggest that you start with a set of brass L-rods and a pendulum and give dowsing a try.
There are many places on line to buy a set of rods and a pendulum. You may find a pendulum in a local rock shop or a store that sells metaphysical items. There are many to choose from, so I always found it best to choose one that you are attracted to. Keep in mind I'm not trying to steer you away from the Simmons equipment or suggesting your money would'nt be well spent, but rather if you start out inexpensively and learn your dowsing tools at your own pace rather than under the 30 day return hanging over your head you will at least know how yours would compare to an upgrade of that nature within the return period. I personally build and use my own dowsing tools and if you have any questions about what is available, plz PM me. There are also some posts regarding building you own rods here, although I'm not sure if they are in the archives or not.
Hope this helps,
Jon
