Pendulum & Telekinesis

[valentinesummers20]

Hi everyone,

In the past I used to use the Pendulum for certain things like questioning the Self and get a Yes or No answer from it, did other things with it too but it's not important here.
Recently I became more interested with Psionics and Telekinesis, mind me I'm still learning as it's a new area for me.

I was simply wondering, how does the Pendulum work when you're ''telling it'' to spin around in a certain way or whatever instead of asking the Self a question?
When I hold my pendulum and simply ''think'' and believe it is going to move the way I want it, it does.
Is this similar to Telekinesis or am I completely out of point?

Thank you

The Pendulum moves due to the so called "Carpenter effect" or "Ideomotor effect", at least that´s what the literature says.
To explain it shortly, your body makes unconscious motions and actions induced by a trigger. An example which is also counted as carpenter effect would be crying induced by emotions even when the person itself didn't decide to cry. Well, no some people claim that is all and that this makes the pendulum useless.
However, I thing, this is a wrong claim. Knowing what causes the pendulum to swing does not make it automatically a wrong tool.
Assuming you ask a question to yourself to decide something you mostly get an answer out of the pendulum due to a swing in one direction (generally spoken).
Also assuming you subconsciousness (I have no better word for that) already favors one direction it will bring you to the answer since micromuscular movements also underly you subconsciousness. Due to that when asking the question the subconsciousness will most likely bring your pendulum to swing into the favored direction. The point why the pendulum has in many cases such a high hit rate migh root in its big information pool as it gets the whole hit of all the informations around you whereas the thinking part only gets filtered and selected information.

If your consciousness is now additionally influenced by higher powers which bring the output, well, who knows? I guess that is then point of the indiviual who holds the pendulum.

Hope this helped you for your understanding

What is it that makes tarot cards lay out in the order that they do? Is it just random chance or is there a force or power that moves these things? I think everyone has their own opinion of it. I don't think there is a definitive answer.
