Chapter IV: RADIATIONS, TESTING WATER, SELECTION OF FOOD

WATER AND FOOD

BEFORE I deal with some of the intricacies of Radiesthesia I want to say that I am not a chemist, scientist, physicist or biologist, nor have I any special knowledge of geology, agriculture, nutrition, medicine or anatomy. I must, therefore, tell how you can best make use of this science in the language of a layman, which is, perhaps, just as well as this work is intended for laymen, although there is no reason why people in all walks of life should not benefit by it.

I have already asked you to accept as a fact that all, or nearly all, objects and substances give off radiations, varying in strength and polarity. In order to demonstrate this more clearly, hold your pendulum over any substance that is a conductor of electricity, such as iron, zinc, silver, water, etc., and you will find that the pendulum will gyrate in a clockwise direction. Now do the same over substances which are non-conductors of electricity, such as salt, lime, clay, sand, etc. The pendulum will gyrate in the opposite direction. I suggest you do not accept these as facts but try them out for yourself and at the same time try with “eyes closed” in order to satisfy yourself that it is not auto-suggestion.

The area round any substance or object, in which its radiations can be felt, is known as its “field”. In radius this varies from an inch to as much as thirty inches or more, in the case of iron. In order to ascertain the size of the field, place a sample on your table and apply the pendulum. While it is gyrating move your pendulum slowly away and you will find that it will eventually stop and change over to oscillation in the direction of the sample, indicating that it is outside the sphere of influence of the sample. Now move them closer together again until the gyrations commence again and you will be able to establish the exact size of the “field” of that particular sample. So, with the various samples you have at your disposal, you can find out the dimensions of their “fields” of influence. This will be necessary before you can carry out the test I will explain in the next paragraph. Should you at any time wish to stop the pendulum gyrating, merely touch you right hand with your left. This seems to act as a kind of “short circuit”, because the pendulum stops at once. If you are going to experiment with a number of samples, don’t forget to put a piece of paper under each so as to prevent a false reaction from previous samples; and don’t use the same piece of paper twice — this is very important.

When dealing with food, agriculture and medicine I shall use the word “harmony” as existing between samples, such as the human body, earth, plants and food. Similarly, of course, there may be discord. Place two similar objects on your table, for example, two half-crowns, about six inches apart so that their “fields” will overlap. When your pendulum is gyrating over one of the coins move it slowly in the direction of the second one and you will find that it continues to gyrate over the whole space between the coins, because they are in harmony. Now replace one of the half-crowns with a penny and repeat the process; you will find that as they are not in harmony the pendulum will not gyrate between the coins even though it may do so over the coins themselves. This is a case of discord. Please don’t think, however, that harmony cannot exist between samples which are physically different; later you will see that harmony can exist between food and the human body, soil and plants, and so on. I hope I have made myself clear on this point, namely, that there can be harmony or affinity between two objects that in no way resemble each other.

TESTING WATER

To test water for purity, and therefore potability, is quite a simple matter. Hold your pendulum over a cup full of water; if it gyrates positively the water is pure and fit to drink, but negative or anti-clockwise gyrations indicate that the water is in some way polluted and unfit to drink.

In order to carry this test a stage further fill half a dozen cups with water and place them in a row on your table. Now get someone to put a tablespoonful of kitchen salt into one of the cups, but ask them not to handle the cup or cups if it can be avoided. You should, of course, not be in the room at the time so as to obviate the possibility of your knowing which cup contains the salt. Apply your pendulum in the usual manner to each cup in turn and you will find that it will gyrate negatively over the cup containing the salt. Here I will sound a word of warning because you have established something which might be mistaken for a “parlour game”. Your friends and relations will, without doubt, want you to do it again, after they have mixed up the cups. If you agree you are almost certain to fail in your second attempt because your friends, although they are unaware of it, have mixed their own radiations with those of the samples. Leave the cups alone for several hours, however, and you will get the same results as. you did at first.

Notwithstanding the advertisements we see regarding beer, Radiesthesia reveals water as the first beverage, provided it is of good quality, and as far as foods are concerned it places meat last, as a necessity, on a long list of comestibles.

SELECTION OF FOOD

We are told, and have every reason to believe, that “what is one man’s meat is another man’s poison”, but we do not always know which is the meat and which the poison. Radiesthesia can give us indications in this respect, and the method is a simple one. We will assume that you have a plate of food in front of you. Adjust your pendulum over the food and when it is gyrating, hold your left hand, palm downwards, between it and the food. The normal reaction to the back of your left hand should be oscillation, but if the pendulum continues to gyrate it shows that there is harmony between you and the food and that it is therefore good for you. Should the gyrations change from positive to negative, however, it shows that the food is definitely bad for you. If the pendulum changes to oscillation, its normal reaction, it would not necessarily mean that the food is bad, although not particularly good, for you.
