Water, water everywhere…
We return this week, dear friends, to that old but never stale subject of dowsing. This time for water.
Now, I know there are many who are skeptical and that is well and good. For I care not!! I know it works and I have proven it to myself often enough to feel perfectly satisfied about its efficacy! So, to any doubters out there: Fie upon thee!
But this is addressed to those who are more inclined to have open minds and are willing to try things. The case in point is this article which describes one man’s experience of dowsing for water when all he had was failure…
The man in question, name unknown, describes his day out at Vermont’s Water Week where he was selling popcorn (at least that’s what the article suggests). He was intrigued by a display nearby of water dowsers and went to try his luck.
Using l-rods (so-called from their shape) he was introduced to the skill be Barry Langer.
“He said they would turn in my hands when I reached a vein of water. He pointed to a flagged line, where he had previously located a vein 160 feet down and I slowly headed toward it. I crossed the line and went slightly beyond. Nothing. I did it again. Nothing. Repeated trials and prompting by Barry brought nary a twitch from those rods, despite my positive answer to Barry’s question, “Do you believe?” (and I do…I believe…I BELIEVE!). Barry had to interrupt our session for a group of school kids who wanted to try dowsing. He first gave them a cursory lesson and then sent them toward the line. Their rods, without exception, right and left-faced like dutiful little soldiers when they reached the vein of water! I left dejectedly and went back to making popcorn. “
You can feel the sadness in the words here. He had tried, given it his best shot and failed. Aaah!
But, undaunted, he went back again and tried again. Nothing happened again. Then a lady called Lisa offered to clear him of negative energy and Lo! he was able to dowse….
“
You see, when Lisa handed me the rods again, I fully expected I’d find water quicker than a fisherman finds it on Saturday morning. A stroll to the flag line netted the “same old, same old” but it was five feet beyond the line when I felt, for the first time in my life, those wonderful appliances swiveling in my hands. Lisa said the delayed reaction was no problem because water is water and I had, indeed, found a vein — my water vein. I thought of the stars above and all the attention they get just because, I suppose, they twinkle. Earth’s water somehow gets ignored and forgotten, but not always; I walked away that day elated with the age-old art of dowsing and that I had found my vein.”
And here, dear reader, is the point, gist, and very nub of this. Some people need a lot more help than others to start dowsing. Some take to it like a fish to water (mmm, need a better metaphor here). Sometimes people only get it working approximately at first and then they get better at it.
And isn’t that they way with pretty much everything? A lot of people expect dowsing to work instantly for everyone. Or they expect that you should know right away that that funny feeling you had in your knee the last day was due to Uncle Ralph (the one in Alaska) being ill from over-eating again.
Sometimes, belief isn’t enough by itself. Sometimes, you need to practice as well as have a sympathetic assistant. Sometimes everything works but so slowly that you almost couldn’t believe it. But, if you REALLY want it to work, if you REALLY believe it will work, then by golly, it will work.
So, what’s your excuse??
