Hi Edi,
You will receive my answers soon.

I was a little surprised though when I read your questions. Many of them are abstractions (as you say yourself in your instructions). I wonder how you want to get significant results with questions about angels and God and meditation. For sure everybody is not going to get the same answers for all those questions.

I think it would be much easier if we ask about facts only (like your personal questions)and like your very first question : 1 + 1 = 3. We are all sure about the answer.

What do you think?

Veo

Hello,
This is exactly the kind of experiment that I have been thinking about in the back of my head. Edi, I really appreciate your pulling it together and putting it out there. I have had a couple of thoughts as I began to go through the first few questions that I would like to present.

One of the most difficult things in gathering statistical data is compiling it at the end of the process and returning meaningful results. Along those lines I am thinking that if we were to all use the same basic key it would be much easier for Edi to compile our results.

Here is my proposal:
We could each report on the following 4 identifiers (using the limited values described) and then add any comments that are important for each question afterwards.

Time circling – Size of circle – Direction of circle – Answer

Time circling refers to how long the pendulum took before settling in on a definitive response.
The key for this value will be:
None .......... Pendulum hung or went directly to a response
Short ......... <5 seconds
Med ........... 5-15 seconds (medium)
Long .......... 15-30 seconds
Very Long ..... >30 seconds

Size of circle refers to how wild (big) the swing is. This is somewhat subjective and will be based on each persons experience with their personal pendulum.
None
Small
Middle
Large

Direction of circle
CW .... Clock-wise
CCW ... Counter Clock-wise
None .. No rotation

Answer- The small and large modifiers on the yes and no response are to indicate how vigorus the swing is.
Sm Yes ........ Small Yes
Lg Yes ........ Large Yes
Sm No ......... Small No   
Lg No ......... Large No
NC ............ Not conclusive

Example:
1.   Does 1 plus 1 equal 3?
Short – Small – CW – Lg Yes
Comment: the code above indicates a strong quick definitive Yes response

Edi, if you agree with the suggestions above then I think it would be good if you specified that you would like users to use it (possibly by editing your original post). That way results will be a little easier to interpret when the experiment is complete.

BTW – I really like that you put some personal questions out there that we can go and immediately see the results of – I am looking forward to getting to that part.

Best Regards,
Veo

P.S. The first question I asked my pendulum was – Do I have permission to ask the following questions and make the responses available to the Astral Pulse forum members?

ShaDoW86

hey good questions. I tired the personal ones which i was sure I wouldnt be able to guess and i got # 55, 61, 62, 64, and 65 all wrong. This iI knew would be a test for me. Maybe this isnt such a good way to test myself, i Dunno maybe i gotta change my Pendulum. I have been using it for a few days now, But the swings are that large at all, id say they are small. The first time they were huge, but now their very small.im beggining to dout all thisInsert

cainam_nazier

When do we get your totals?

Edi

Hi,

Veo, I appreciate your input here. Most of the pendulums behaviour depends on the individual which uses it. This is why I think that the variables you have suggested are not easily comparable, especially in this case. I do not hope to get more than a vague answer to the question "What type of questions will have the same answer for everyone?". If I had more than 20 people sending me their results, this additional information about the pendulums movement would be very well usable - but as of now I only got 2 and a half answers. This is too little to draw any conclusion, but it is still very interesting... maybe these are too many questions - I'd like to do the next session with less questions, more detailed, and with the answering scheme you suggested. Applying it here would make things too complicated - the questions were not crafted specifically to be able to use this information, and I'm not sure of I'll get at least 5 answers till the end of the week... maybe it just takes so much time to go through all this. We'll see. There are still some people in the process of learning how to use the pendulum at all, maybe they'll jump in later.

cainam_nazier, I will wait for results until Sunday evening and then I'll post the totals.

Edi
it's love you're looking for

Tao

ohhh... i can`t wait for it
It`s Sunday... it`s evening (at least where i am) lol
Show us the results :)

Mike :)

PS: don`t fake anything - we can handle the truth :)

Viper_05

hey... sorry for bumping this.. but i was just looking back to see what i missed, and well i tired this with my pendulum, and i would like to know if edi could post the answears to his personal questions, as i'd like to see how accurate my pandulum was


thanks again everyone

Well, there are my results. I used a bunch of paper clips linked together. Sometimes something odd would happen, and I would sort of feel an answer in my head but the pendulum would swing in a different motion. o.O
What is the sound of no leaves cloving?

no_leaf_clover

Well, just off what you've posted so far, I've almost got all of your personal questions wrong, Edi. [8D]
What is the sound of no leaves cloving?

Edi

Hi everyone,

as promised I've prepared something to (hopefully) gain more "objective" knowledge about the pendulum. Forgive me my awkward english as it's not my mother tongue - if something is barely or not at all understandable, tell me!

I would be really happy to see many people participate in this group experiment. Your input will be very important for everyone to see how the pendulum behaves. If you pick up the pendulum, your confidence to it more or less depends on your beliefs. If you are unsure of its possibilities, if you are afraid of weird astral entities communicating with you, if you think your subconscious tells you a story - why should you believe someone who says that there is no danger at all involved, that it is in fact some intelligent "other side" you are communicating with? We have people who trust it (maybe too much), we have people who question it (maybe too much). If you have different opinions about a certain thing, it often may lead to more insight if you manage to find a bigger model which embraces all the opinions - which can show how one person can be right and wrong at the same time, depending on the point of view, the definition of the vocabulary involved and the focus on specific details. Can the pendulum give objective answers? What is objectivity? Can it tell about things outside of your (sub)consciousness? Are its answers totally made up by your mind? What is true? Does truth exist? What is truth? I want to find answers to these (and many more) questions. Not only for myself, for everyone.

The following list of questions is very rough - just some things I collected during the last 3 days and which seemed suitable for this purpose. I believe this will give us only a blurred picture about the pendulums possibilities - if the results look promising, there will be many many things to delve further into by fine-tuning the questions and going more into detail together. The difficulty in finding good questions is that almost everything depends on how we see things. If you take as an example "Is meditation necessary for spiritual development?" you cannot simply ask the question, get an answer and that's it. What is mediation for you? Is it sitting in the grass, doing nothing? Is it listening to music? Is meditation for you a word which encompasses multiple different activities or concepts? Or is it only a certain, well defined technique you are thinking about when you say "meditation"? It could well be that 2 persons talking superficially about meditation are talking about completely different things, and this could be the case with almost every word we use. We attribute certain meanings to certain words, based on our education, our society, our personality and so on. We don't ask the same questions, even if they are identically if written down in words. "Spiritual development" - I hear this phrase so often, but what does it mean for a person talking about it? Is it showing love and being kind to everyone? Is it being able to astral project? Is it seeing visions? Is it being able to talk telepathically to a guide? So - the answer depends not only on the question, but also on the questioner! It is by challenging your belief set and seeing how you "define" your world that you can change how you percieve it and be open for other possibilities you did not see before.

If you want to participate please follow these simple guidelines:
1) Take your time! You don't have do to all the questions in one rush. Maybe you find a question about a topic you are interested in - dig into it, explore it. This will show you what the words you phrased the question with mean for you, only in this way will you be able to fully understand the answer. People who have difficulties finding things to ask may get some starters here, also.
2) For every question, write down the answer of the pendulum - and if you notice something peculiar about its movement please note it, too! Did it just go to the "Yes" swing, did it go clockwise or anticlockwise first, can't it decide between "Yes" or "No" and so on.. everything is important and has significance here, as we want to know more about the mechanics of the pendulum.
3) Please tell me also if you think you are using the pendulum correctly. Are sure about its movements? Do you clearly recognize the answer, or is it sometimes difficult? Or are you already used to it and have a good connection, a good feeling?
4) When you are done, please send me your results via Private Message or e-mail. Do NOT post them in this thread, as everyone should get the answers independently, without the possibility of being influenced by other members' answers.
5) Feel free to write me any comments or ideas. I urge you to.

I will wait 7 days for your answers and post a summary/analysis afterwards. You may notice that there are different types of questions - but I'll leave that for next week.

I seperated these remaing questions from the others because of their special nature. What you need to know: I hereby declare that the answers to the following questions about my personal life should be available to everyone. Particularly, every person participating in this group experiment should be allowed to get answers to these questions. This is my will. If you want, you can see the answers at http://edi.ganymed.org/pendulum.html ... I wonder if this will work as expected :)
By the way, the Danube is the big river which flows through Vienna, the city I am living in at the moment.
