getting rid of the rods

[Qiaozhi]

JUst keep repeating it to yourself and you will believe it.

Isn't this the mantra of the dowser? The skeptics do not need to "believe", we just look at the results of the double-blind tests, and it is clear that dowsing is only as accurate as guessing.

I've said it before that science does not understand what they can't measure and they don't have a clue about the light of consciousness.

There you go again ... repeating the mantra.

Christopher Hills was definitely the most knowledgable person on this subject. His book "Supersensonics" is a masterpeice on the subject. That guy was a mega genius. Most people cannot even understand what he says.

This is why skeptics frequent the Remote Sensing Forum ... it's a laugh a minute.

Anyone who is so arrogant to think they can learn to dowse in twenty minutes is living in self-deception. They will never learn to dowse with that attitude. Like Hills and Fred Stewart say, learning to become an accomplished dowser takes fifteen plus years of living it. And that's with an experienced teacher.

Like Dell, it is obvious that you also never bothered to watch "The Enemies of Reason". Some of the dowsers in the documentary had as much as 40 years experience (and the old guy in the background looked like he had about 80 years) but none of them could pass the double-blind test. Their results were the same as just guessing.

An expert dowser does not need a rod.

And do you know why? Because it's all in the mind.

Most people can learn to feel the psychic twinge, the electricity in the palm of their hand. The skin on the palm is an area with many nerve endings. The acupuncture points act as a wave guide for the energy. Some top dowsers do not even need to feel the electricity in their skin. You can feel this energy when you walk through a signal line from a frequency generator depending on the atmospheric conditions. I discovered it myself that air pressure has an effect on negative ions which makes for good locating conditions. Then I read the same thing and that ions facilitate the energy to travel through the air.

Theseus used the term "technically challenged", and frequently we have described this stuff as "pseudoscience", but in this particular case I think a better term is "codswallop". If you don't know what that means, then google it.

I also suspect that some failed dowsers have never dowsed except on a full stomach. They eat then go attempt to dowse. This is a sure way to get bad results. You just can't feel it.It's sort of like trying to make a telephone call on a busy line. And many times I find myself daydreaming or thinking about something other than the target. This is totally unacceptable.

This is an even bigger load of codswallop.

Very interesting what you said about the frequency transmiter ...Is the results more secure or accurate?

No difference. The results are exactly the same as before.

JUst keep repeating it to yourself and you will believe it. I've said it before that science does not understand what they can't measure and they don't have a clue about the light of consciousness. They know the observer influences the experiment, but that's about all they know. Christopher Hills was definitely the most knowledgable person on this subject. His book "Supersensonics" is a masterpeice on the subject. That guy was a mega genius. Most people cannot even understand what he says. I had to read it at least five times and I still don't get it all. He explains about the scientists who dared to consider the subject and they were all banished by their peers, their careers destroyed.

Hills studied yoga in India and became the president of the World Yoda Association. Anyone who is so arrogant to think they can learn to dowse in twenty minutes is living in self-deception. They will never learn to dowse with that attitude. Like Hills and Fred Stewart say, learning to become an accomplished dowser takes fifteen plus years of living it. And that's with an experienced teacher. Most people are not ready to accept what is needed to learn. The negative attitude is a sure way to destroy your chances of success.

As much as I have talkd about dowing lately, I don't use it that much. It is stressful on the body. A frequency transmitter is a lot easier to learn but there are some problems. Things like mineralization can be nearly impossible to deal with.

I see... you're stone too!

Maybe you lick some hallucinogenic toad just before hitting on keys!

I think you need a good clinic Mike! Like Paris Hilton!

Kind regards,

I can only assume, from the statement above, that you believe dowsing and the use of a frequency transmitter with your L-rod are two different processes.

If you think dowsing and an ideomotor response are not involved when you use a frequency transmitter --please explain what you think it is that causes your L-rod(s) to swing, lock or indicate? Please be specific when explaining the forces or fields involved.

May the force be with you.

May the force be with you.

I think the part about Yoda was a typo.

[Mike(Mont)]

G-sani, I'm no expert on why a frequency generator works. I'm no dowsing expert, either. The only way I can put it is I rely on the frequency generator to do most of the work for me. It's just less emotional strain. It is easier for me to relax. And the target response is usually much better. Yes, you are going to get some false targets.

While I am skeptical when it comes to dowsing, I know that years and years of meditation can produce some remarkable results. If you have never seen the following documentary:

http://www.amazon.com/Ring-Fire-Indonesian-Odyssey-Fire-Indonesian/dp/B0001I54S4/ref=pd_sim_b_1

you owe it to yourself to watch it.

The episode where the doctor sets fire to the newspaper using his palm is worth watching.

[Steve in MS]

This thread was getting a little off track but thanks to Mike(Mont) and others like Dell Winders, we are back on track now and all now understand how to dowse. I was really impressed with the wisdom of the reply
"may the force be with you".
Yoga?, maybe it is Yoda and Puke Skydowser- this one maybe ate too much before going out?
Now I am going to get into the right frame of mind to dowse.
Beam me up Scotty!

The newspaper trick comes after about 2mins 30secs.

I am impressed by the sound operator trick

And - it is a trick.
Watch this one, where Derren Brown demonstrates the 1-inch punch ... without touching.

It's amazing what tricks the mind can play.
And while we're at it - this one's great fun to watch -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwvA0...eature=related

[Mike(Mont)]

I learned to dowse in 1981. No rods. The unit had a GSR hooked to a supposedly resonating circuit and antenna. Only thing was the circuit was not even hooked up. I rewired it so the pot's actually did something in line with a variable capacitor and the antenna (no power source). The antenna was attached to the black box and you turned it 360 degrees until the GSR meter made what I called a "fish strike" .The meter would make a quick, sharp but small deflection for a good hit. I really did get the Eureka sensation when on line. Actually I imagined the antenna was a laser beam scanning the area. I find dowsing very draining on my energy. Ten or fiftenn minutes maximum.

Qiaozhi,

The 2 links you posted are indeed probably tricks, but I don't think the doctor in Indonesian is a phony. Just my opinion.

Again, I am no fan of dowsing and I believe that all of the LRL's that I have seen are a scam.

Here's another for the "Geotech's stoned collection 2008" !

That stuff will kill you! Stop right now!

If you put your sensible hat on for a moment, you will concur that (of course) it is a trick. No-one can set fire to newspaper by simply touching it.

And yes - the two links I posted are tricks. Derren Brown is a skeptic of paranormal matters, and freely admits that he has no psychic powers. It's a combination of psychology, magic, misdirection and showmanship. Even when he admits that the stuff he does is a trick, some people just don't believe him. That's how much they really want to believe. Amazing!
