Monsolith,
Could I please reccommend something that could prove VERY valuable to you at this time?
Find a good reputable Medium that you know can be trusted, and is impartial, and get your results verified.
Please do not seek to test these results yourself based on the pendulum information that has been provided here.
Unless you have already developed clairvoyance or other mediumship skills yourself prior to using the pendulum, and I'm guessing from your question that you haven't, you have no really reliable way of testing the validity of what's coming through it.
The information that you have probably been getting here about the pendulum being safe, or "protected by higher beings" is simply not true. I have personally experienced negative spirits trying to communicate through the pendulum by passing themselves off as "higher beings", as have other people that used to be a part of this forum, who were experienced in matters of mediumship, who were silenced after speaking out against the pendulum in some of the topics here. So far every experienced medium I have spoken to feels the same way about pendulums as they do ouija boards.
Few mediums really like the pendulum for communications. They are a useful tool for providing information or indications, such as dowsing, but as far as using it to channel spirits, unless you have the assistance of an experienced medium, or have already developed such skills yourself that allow you to know for sure which are good spirits and which are decievers, the pendulum is no safer to use than a ouija board.
As a communications device, it is no different to talking to someone through MSN or ICQ - they might be genuine, or they might tell you all the things you want to hear so that you are fooled into trusting them.
As I said, get some help from a trusted, impartial medium if you want confirmation. The information that has been presented here in the past on the use of pendulums for channeling is biased and flawed. I have been caught out, as have other people.
I do hope very much that you can get some good direction here. I would suggest if you wish to communicate with spirits, do not use the "fast-track" approach like the pendulum. There are some very good books around such as one I'm reading at the moment: "HOW TO MEET & WORK WITH SPIRIT GUIDES" by Ted Andrews. It is practical, informative, and gives you good information on things to be careful of, and things that you don't need to be worried about.
Blessings and good seeking,
James.
Hi Monsolith,
Can I echo the sentiment of James's reply and forgive my provincial English. Hope you can understand it OK?
Although I have placed a few posts on some of the processes mediums can use in developing their ability with spirit communication - it is really difficult to put into words to be honest.
If you are really interested the best way if at all possible is to attend a regular development circle. Do these things exist in France?
Changing the subject a little: What what part of France you are in? I am only really familiar with The Provence, and found some of the esoteric bookshops in Nice facinating. Correct me if I am wrong: it seems like a similar scene exists in Belgium and Spain?
I noticed that the new age/esoteric book shops were very orientated towards Kaballah & Rosicrustrian literature and classical dowsing. I enjoyed looking at the fantastic choice of tools available: like pure crystal balls for scrying, and divining rods in one store in Brussels for example. With one or two notable exceptions, European stores simply seem to put UK standards to shame in terms of quality of goods available. Although the breadth of literature available in bookshops in mainland Europe appears to overshadow the UK with respect to classical works, it seems to be starting to echo the barren choice in UK. Must be the influence of the pulp publishers of popular new age dross (muck)?
If this is of any use to anyone: one of the more respected UK mediums appears to be setting up a school of psychic studies in Holland. See: http://www.paul-jacobs.com/ and I also personally know a lady who runs a very good school in Switzerland see: http://www.zentrum-mandala.ch/ also worth looking at is: http://www.isc-seminars.ch/ again run by respectable tutors!
Cheers,

Hi all !
I've recently contacted one of my guide, first using the pendulum, then trying to channel her. I hardly succeeded, but succeeded though, here's our conversation :
Me : Hello E* - thats her name but she prefers I dont give it, I asked her through the pendulum so that I could focus my mind on calling the name, because I dont know what I have to focus on in order to have the channeling work.
E* : Hi.
Me : How are you ?
E* : Fine.
Well thats not much, but indeed it was channeling. I did it through a computer keyboard. I couldnt go farther because I was very confused with the process. I shall describe what I experienced.
My hands weren't totally under the control of my guide, she indeed moved my fingers to the appropriate keys - or give me the feel of where I had to move them -, but I still had to press the key quite consciously when I was sure enough the key had to be pressed.
Also, I kinda heard the answers in my head - the more I contact her through the pendulum, the more I feel a stronger telepathic connection between us -, and as I know where every key is on the keyboard, there was a part of me who consciously typed the letters corresponding to the answer I had in mind.
My confusion comes from the conscious part of the process. As for the second part of the description, I dont want to start typing 100% consciously what I *hear* in mind, because imagination could trick it. So I'd like channelers to tell me how it is supposed to be done, to describe the process as precisely as possible. Here's a few example questions :
- Do you have to relax your muscles ? I found not, because if so, my hands remain relaxed and nothing happens. That's why I failed to channel with a pen and switched to the keyboard. What I did is that I kept my hands above the keyboard, letting my fingers fall vertically on the keys, so that my hands wouldnt be relaxed but I could easily feel my fingers move.
- What do you think about (focus your mind on) when waiting the answer ?
- Do you have to partly guess the answer and then to partly write it by yourself, or is it supposed to be 100% remote controlled ? I think I heard channelers dont know what they write until they read it.
Well thats it ! Please forgive my bad expression, I can hardly write english.
Thank you.
