2 Speakers for December 11th, 2011 The Alchemical Journey to Transformation - Richard De Welles & Geraldine Taylor-Wood - Alchemical knowledge was rich in Europe and the East in ancient times. The work of the psychologist Carl Jung framed this work as the evolutionary journey of the soul to enlightenment. Through Geraldine s background in astrology she will use the planets as representing the alchemical journey from Saturn to the Sun. Richard s background in crystal healing helps him work with the concept of transmutation of Lead to Gold. They have just returned from three months in France and together they will share their knowledge of this dynamic teaching of the ancient alchemists. This will include many photos to illustrate the stages of the alchemical path as shown in the Cathedral s of Chartres and Notre Dame in Paris. They provide an environment for meditation and talks in Queensland called Grail Haven, and organise spiritually oriented tours of Europe. Their website is Page 2 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

3 From the Secretary Christmas is just around the corner and little boys and girls will again be waiting for Santa to come down the chimney and bring them toys... or may be not. These days they are more likely to use their ipad to order their own toys from amazon.com. I am not sure if this is good or bad. Finding early on that Santa was actually incarnated by my parents, after seeing the presents hidden in a wardrobe, certainly did not increase my trust in adults at the time, but we were still very glad, because the chimney looked dreadfully narrow to us kids. The new year is also around the corner and there are a lot of predictions for the year 2012, some more sinister that others; like pole shift, Nibiru s return, mass ascencion, you name it. I would have gladly added my own wild predictions, but I think it is more appropriate to give you the tools to create your own predictions, a do it yourself kit of sorts. It is called the I Ching, you will find an article about it on page 5. I have an even better suggestion actually. Rather than guessing the future, why not create your own? I just returned from the US where I attended a 4 day course on Biogeometry / Dowsing. During the course, amongst other things we learned about transitions. Transitions are moments in space or time where a change occurs from one state to another. At the moment of the transition it is very easy to make a big change with a very small amount of effort. For example the moment you transition from sleep to wakefulness, you can express your gratitude to be alive and colour your entire day with it. When entering a house or a room, enter with your right foot first and smile, this will broadcast good, positive, joyful energy all over the house or room. Joey Korn on page 12 also gives you some advice how to balance detrimental energies. So coming back to 2012, decide what future you want in 2012, visualise it, think about it, polish it and walk into 2012 with that vision in your Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 3

4 mind. Rather than getting inebriated with your friends on New Years Eve, sit peacefully and meditate on your vision, see it actually manifest in front of your mind s eye. If we all visualise a better world, a world finally at peace, where all our basic needs are fulfilled, it will have a serious impact on the events of the year. You might want to include Love in your mental picture, you will see on page 20 how lack of love has shaped so much of our history. Love must be an essential part of creating a vision of peace for humanity. Of course you want to include health in your vision. It would not do to be in a perfect loving world and be too sick to enjoy it. So you can start today with the Terrific Turmeric, see how and why on page 10. Add it to all your dishes, if the saying we are what we eat is true, then this should help too. Christmas is the season of giving. There is an inexpensive gift you can give anyone you cross path with: Smiles, they are inexpensive, in good supply, easy to manufacture and you get your instant reward back when that person smiles back at you. They might be inspired to smile at someone else to create the perfect snowball effect. Share that gift with heartfelt abandon. Our ex president, Noel Jordan has created a new Dowsing Society called The Australian Dowsers Society to help widen the exposure of dowsing nationally and internationally. Our two societies can live happily alongside each other and we will benefit from a broader reach into the community. They meet on a different day of the month so as not to clash with our meetings. We wish him success in his endeavours. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well as good luck with creating and broadcasting your vision for the year Until next time...

5 Peering Into The Future Reprinted from the Canadian Society of Questers Newsletter Robin s Column, Winter 2005 There is an old custom in many parts of the world at the turn of the year, whenever that might be (today s date is the day for Kung Hey Fat Choy), when people try to peer into the future to prepare themselves for any problems which may arise in the year to come (and beyond perhaps). All look forward to the arrival of good luck, good health, wealth and happiness, so Fortune Tellers pop up like mushrooms all over the place. It has always been that way. Time has not altered this custom, even with the advanced technology we employ in our era. The year 2005, marked the anniversary of the creation of one of the most ancient books ever written. It was in 2005 BC, in the land that we now call China, that the Book of Changes, better known as I Ching (pronounced ee-jing), was written. This legacy has survived prejudice and destruction for four millennia... at one point it managed to avoid a book-burning that was carried out at the behest of an Emperor who had decided history should begin with his illustrious name and era. Four thousand years ago, we are told (and I quote from a translation of the book itself), the Sages invented an almost infallible system which was able to determine a possible future based on observation of circumstances, character, behaviour and action. This covers quite a spectrum, and it seems that they understood that phenomenon as well since it concerns an understanding of the nature of light and a knowledge of octaves in music. They also maintained that writing cannot express thoughts completely, leaving spiritual and religious matters to those chosen to administer Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 5

6 within the political system of their Society. Religious beliefs were another matter. Their concern was to educate and assist man in a worldly sense and how to cope with the vicissitudes of life. So who were the Sages? - They must have been highly skilled in mathematics, astronomy, astrology and geometry. As geomancers they clearly knew something about magnetism and how to find ones way about...or navigation using the stars and heavenly bodies for guidance with the aid of a compass which they had to invent. The South was more important to them than North so it is quite possible that this knowledge came from an earlier source. They were teachers, craftsmen and almost Wise Men or Shamans. It is written that they retired from everyday life and spent their time in fasting and meditation on the condition of man in relation to his universe, asking the ultimate questions: Without consciousness... is there a universe at all? And if so, are humans a part of this Total Consciousness? Where do we belong in the Whole? In our era it is possible to probe and reproduce conditions which existed before this Big Bang event, but they have no idea what might have caused it. There is no scientific evidence to prove it ever happened. However, something did happen and we have a universe. The How and Why are even more important questions which go unanswered. The Sages do not mention the event. All they have to say is there came into being two basic principles which could explain everything we know. The terms called Yin and Yang had not been formed at this time, but their understanding after this comment was: Every thing moves and surprisingly our scientists have discovered the same thing, that everything Page 6 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

7 from the word go... is in constant fluctuating movement like agitation. In everyday life we are reminded that there are solid objects which do not move... we stub our toe on the bed post... we climb a mountain which seems to be totally immobile, are unfortunate enough to experience an earth slide or quake. And it is we, who use the energy to move when these things occur. It is a different matter to say everything moves if it looks as though it does not. What the Sages said was that nothing is as it appears to be and it is the inherent energy within everything that causes changes that become visible in time and effect. This energy is inherent in everything including man. Later wise men termed this spirit. How could this be explained to the humblest of human beings? The peasant in the field, the slave in bondage, the soldier, the general who sought strategy in service of the overlord, or simply the average family? The solution came about by creating a series of books, one of which was the Book of Changes. It was designed as a book of divination, and could be used for the telling of fortunes. It could be deciphered easily by means of images which come to mind when certain familiar patterns are represented. And because the ability to imagine is fundamental to human experience, it could be a useful tool to express meaning. It is also the basis of Art, and mankind could draw and express himself through art before he could talk intelligently. Human intelligence is capable of realizing, or making real, showing in many ways the means of conveying understanding to others. In our Parlance... Getting the Picture. So based on a simple procedure of using two principal figures, it may have been zero and one, but it was expressed as a horizontal line complete and a broken line. There was duality in everything, male and female... up and down... left and right and so on. In the animal world there was a certain order... we Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 7

8 call it Pecking Order today, and that still remains an item for discussion.. Young and Old... strong and weak... each equal and opposite and in varying degrees in every situation... harmonious or otherwise. And each with different shades of meaning because of circumstance. A very efficient and understandable binary system with numerical values, contained within 64 Hexagrams with vast number of computations... Plato wished he had enough years to study this book and its wisdom. Even the lines could be demonstrated by using twigs... and eventually Yarrow stalks were chosen because of the shape of the stems and a significant meaning presented by that, and is a common herb available in abundance. Everything in the material world... the spiritual had a different system which applied in other areas that were not to be spoken of, but could be expressed by correct ritual. It was by this means that the shaman could then explain the images that appeared while counting the stalks and revealing the pattern they made. The questions asked were the same questions that are asked today when the querant is anxious or distressed. Today we can use I Ching cards, or throw coins to form the hexagram patterns, and although life is somewhat different we are still affected by events beyond our control. The Oracle takes all this in its stride including the changes within life itself, and it has been found that the questioner sometimes has his/her subconscious concerns expressed, and the answer given appears not to apply directly. It is a strange book, but it is we who approach it and we who shake and Page 8 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

9 change the coins. One is reminded of that in no uncertain terms and the message is to approach it with a certain reverence. Not the least is the basic necessity for mankind to understand the important part humanity plays in the whole series of events, and recognize the effect of our reactions to those events. It is clear that the Sages understood we are part of the whole shebang and we are constantly reminded when consulting this venerable book that we act in the manner of the Superior Man - with wisdom, compassion and good will...

V2B 6W7 Tel: (250) rowan@ocis.net Editor s note: The easiest method of casting the oracle is by tossing three similar coins. The head of the coins is used as the yang line (the solid line), and tail for the yin line (the broken line). Each head is given the number 3 and each tail the number 2. The first throw creates the line at the bottom. The 3 coins are thrown together to obtain the number for one line. The coins are thrown 6 times to create the 6 lines. You then look up the index number with the top three lines against the bottom 3 on a grid, then read the corrsponding commentary. You can use the I Ching online at and find the answer to your questions. Now if you think this is all too complicated, you can dowse for your answers... but you knew that anyway!

10 Terrific Turmeric Turmeric is a perennial plant of the ginger family. It has been used for over 2500 years in India, where it was most likely first used as a yellow dye. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. The medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer s disease. Here are many reasons to add turmeric to your diet: It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns. When combined with cauliflower, it has shown to prevent prostate cancer and stop the growth of existing prostate cancer. Prevented breast cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice. May prevent melanoma & cause existing melanoma cells to commit suicide. Reduces the risk of childhood leukemia. Is a natural liver detoxifier. May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer s disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain. May prevent metastases from occurring in many different forms of cancer. It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many Page 10 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

11 anti-inflammatory drugs, but without the side effects. Has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis in mice Helps with rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin was compared to phenylbutazone and produced comparable improvements in shortened duration of morning stiffness, lengthened walking time, and reduced joint swelling. Is a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor. May aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management. Has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is a natural treatment for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Boosts the effects of chemo drug paclitaxel and reduces its side effects. Promising studies are underway on the effects of turmeric on pancreatic cancer. Studies are ongoing in the positive effects of turmeric on multiple myeloma. Has been shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in tumors. Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodelling of damaged skin. May help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. A powerful radiation detoxifier, it also offers direct protection against radiations. Turmeric can be taken in powder or pill form. It is available in pill form from most health food stores, usually in mg capsules. Contraindications: Turmeric should not be used by people with gallstones or bile obstruction. Though turmeric is often used by pregnant women, it is important to consult with a doctor before doing so as turmeric can be a uterine stimulant. Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 11

12 A Kabbalistic Premise Modern-Day Application of Ancient Teaching By Joey Korn In June 1999, after several years of dowsing research, I made a finding in my work that tied directly to the ancient teachings of Kabbalah; I didn t consciously bring this into my work, it came to me. I have found the kabbalistic Tree of Life in a pattern of energies around every human being. (See In the years to follow, I also found this Tree of Life pattern repeating itself in various Earth energies. The more I look into Kabbalah, the more it seems to answer my questions about life. One kabbalistic premise, in particular, has helped me understand and explain my dowsing and energy work much better. Kabbalah literally means to receive and you could expand that to mean to receive light or energy because everything in Kabbalah is about light and energy. Kabbalah teaches that our Creator has an inherent desire to impart or share Its Light. God created us and everything in the universe as vessels to hold God s Light, vessels into which God could impart Its Light. Our Creator put into each of us an inherent desire to receive God s Light. This is a powerful drive within us, especially when we awaken and step knowingly onto our spiritual paths. The more Light we receive, such as through spiritual insight, the more Light we want. IT is a thirst that can never fully be quenched. God also gave us, as human beings, the Divine gift of Free Will, which gives us the unique ability to impart or share God s Light that is within us and within all of creation. So when we get inspired with new insights, we inherently want to share them with others. Page 12 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

13 When I first heard this kabbalistic premise about ten years ago, I didn t fully understand it. Yes, it seemed simple, but I couldn t apply it experientially into my life. Now I see that it explains all of the energy work I do with dowsing combined with prayer and blessing. I have learned that when we find any detrimental subtle energy with dowsing, we can say a blessing, asking for the detrimental energy to become beneficial, and it immediately does so. This includes human related energies, Earth energies, and even electromagnetic fields (EMF) around electronic appliances. This change into beneficial energies is not permanent, but indefinite; it will last until something changes it back. This could be our own negative thoughts and emotions while in the presence of these energies, or it could be something in Nature that changes it back. Ultimately, everything in Nature is good and serves a purpose, even detrimental energies. Most dowsers and other energy workers seem to think of beneficial and detrimental energies as separate and distinct from each other. They work to avoid, neutralize, block, or divert detrimental energies, and they seek out beneficial energies in nature to spend time in them. I see detrimental and beneficial energy fields as one and the same; they re all manifestations of the Life Force. This goes right back to the kabbalistic premise stated above. I see an energy field as a vessel, created with the inherent purpose to hold energy. The energy field itself is not detrimental or beneficial; it is neutral. Whether it has a beneficial or detrimental effect on us as human beings is determined by the frequency of the energy that it carries. If we find an energy field that carries energy at a frequency that is detrimental to us, we can change or transmute it to be beneficial because we have Free Will, which, again, gives us the ability to impart or transmit energy. If we can change an energy frequency from black to white, so to speak, Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 13

14 can t we change it to any shade of grey in between? Shouldn t we be able to charge objects and energy fields with very specific energies, as defined with our intent? I have found that we can, which turns them into working amulets. You can ask God to charge your watch, the energy field of an underground stream, your drinking water, or even cosmetics with a specific energy frequency to help you heal or resolve a key issue in your life. Again, these objects and fields are vessels that hold energy, much as a bottle holds liquid. We are constantly changing the energies around and within us with every thought, action, and emotion, whether we know it or not. Most of us are unconsciously surrounding and filling ourselves with what we don t want in our lives-our fears, anxieties and negative thoughts and emotions. You might call this the opposite of prayer and blessing. Once we are aware of this process that takes place energetically behind the scenes in life, we can take charge of the process. We can consciously surround and fill ourselves with what we want to bring into our lives with applied intent through prayer and blessing. Then we can use dowsing to validate that the energies have changed. The energies really will help us make positive changes in our lives. Try this exercise: Have someone muscle-test you by pushing down on your outstretched arm at just above the wrist, while you resist. This will give you a measure of your muscle strength. Have them push hard enough to make your arm go down. If you are very strong, you might want to point your thumb down, which will make it a little more difficult for you to resist. Now think of an unresolved issue in your life, something that concerns you, and have your friend muscle-test you again. You will likely test significantly weaker. Page 14 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

15 Now say a blessing over an object, such as a watch or a ring, and ask that the object be charged with specific energy to help you resolve the issue you are thinking about. Now hold the object, think of the unresolved issue in the same way you did before, and have your friend muscle-test you again. Are you significantly stronger? You could also ask to bless your body with this energy, or the energy field of an underground stream, or even the energy field that is radiating from a cell phone or microwave oven. Not only will these fields and objects be beneficial, they will hold specific energies that help you resolve your issues. This basic kabbalistic premise has helped me immeasurably to understand and explain my work. I am sharing it with you in hopes that it will help you understand more about the energy work you are currently doing and how to improve it. Even though kabbalistic teachings are thousands of years old, it is amazing how they apply so wonderfully into modern-day life, especially in the area of energy work.

16 Dowsing Tips to Spring Clean Your Home By Christan Hummel, Reprinted from the Quester, Newsletter of the Canadian Society of Questers Spring 2005 As we are now in Spring, it is a time to clear out the old energies of the past to create a fresh space, for the new seeds of our intentions to sprout. The start of Spring presents an opportunity to turn our attention to the new growth, new potentials, and new life beckoning, and to clear out the energetic remnants lingering from the past for a fresh new start. What better place to start than in our own homes? While feng shui and space clearing have become a multi-billion dollar industry, catering to the likes of corporate CEOs as well as Hollywood celebs, as dowsers we have access to some simple techniques to springclean our homes, clearing the energies and preparing the space energetically for the year ahead. These are simple spring-cleaning tips that any dowser can use to clear our spaces of the vibrational imprints of the past. Although these tips are by no means comprehensive, they will provide a quick and easy way to align the energies of your environment with your intentions for the year. These 6 C s of Space Clearing will empower you to sweep out the old and make way for the new growth of Spring in your environment. 1. Clutter: To our subconscious mind, clutter triggers images of stagnation, stuck energy and places where Life doesn t move. It usually represents the things we are resisting and where we don t want to put our attention. Simply put: clean out the clutter. Piles of laundry, papers, boxes, mail... whatever it is, when we see clutter, our mind equates it with chaos and dead energy. So make a point to dive into your clutter like a heat seeking missile. Go straight for it, you know where it lives! Put it away, find a home for it, use your dowsing to help decisions about it, address it! Once you move that dead energy in your home, you will be surprised at how it moves in your life! Page 16 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

17 2. Corners: Keep them especially free of clutter as corners are the places where the Life energy or Ch i of our environment comes to a stop, like traffic at a four-way stop sign. Dowse to find the plants, artwork, or objects in your corners which move energy: the running water of a fountain, the flow of air represented by wind chimes, or even the life sustaining energy of a plant can be enough to keep the energy moving; and intuition to tell you what will make the space feel more harmonious, peaceful and joyful to redirect the dead energies of a corner. Dowse to find the right energy transformers for the corners of your home or office, because these are special energy spots in the house. 3. Closets: Clean them out! They are the bowels of our homes and offices, the storage bins for old, dead energy. If you don t use it, lose it! Keep your closets clean, neat, and free of unwanted, old, unused items. Yes, you looked marvelous in that dress you ve been holding onto for the last five years, and one day you ll lose that extra 10 pounds and will fit in it again, but for now, give it to a friend, or family member who can use it. When you lose that weight, you ll owe it to yourself to buy a new dress! Don t allow your closets to become black holes, or they will reflect that energy. Again, your dowsing will let you know what you need to keep and what can be ditched to make room for the new. 4. Ceremony: This is sadly lacking in our modern society. Where we do have any kind of ceremony it is usually around a sporting event, food, or commerce. Ceremony is a time when we honor life, the seasons, and those aspects of living beyond the physical. It brings us in touch with the worlds beyond our everyday, and reminds us of a vastness of Life beyond our immediate attention. Make time for ceremony in your life and your Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 17

18 home and you will open a doorway into another dimension beyond this one, allowing fresh new ideas, inspiration and energies to flow into your home. Dowsing will lead you to the right ceremony to celebrate your embracing the new energies of Spring. It could be a simple ceremony like a ribbon-cutting ceremony to initiate the new energies of your place, or popping of the champagne cork to signify the bringing in of the Spring. Whatever the ceremony, when you do it with intention and awareness, that ceremony heralds in the energies of your intention in a much more profound manner than when we simply and perfunctorily go perform the same act. Even the simple ceremony of smudging a new dwelling can be quite profound when done with an awareness of the intention. Burning a candle each night and ceremonially letting the problems and worries of the day burn in the fire, is a simple ceremony and one which keeps the energies of your home clean and clear of the burdens of the day. Ceremonies to acknowledge and honor the ancestors of the past, through music, song or dance, is another way in which ceremony helps to keep the energies of your space clear and clean. Keep ceremonies simple and heartfelt, and they will do wonders to keep the energies of your space aligned with higher dimensions and energies. 5. Consciousness: The power of this cannot be overstated in my experience. Where we put our consciousness, we put our life energy. With dowsing, we are aligning our conscious mind with our unconscious mind, opening a connection between the two. Use your dowsing at this time to find the aspects of your home or office where you have vacated your consciousness, those closets, corners, and dead zones that you pretend are not there - or wish were not there. For some people, it could be a room where their dead parents used to live, or where the kids used to live before they went off to school, or the pile of paper in the office that calls out for help, but we pretend isn t there. Put your consciousness into that space, with intention, and yes, even ceremony, and notice the MAGIC that happens when you do! Energy flows where attention goes! Page 18 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

19 6. Cycles: There is a rhythm to Life, a time for growth, and a time for death. Cycles are important to observe: moon cycles are often used for planting, cutting hair, beginning new projects. Similarly, observing the cycles of the sun, of day and night, being more active during the daylight hours, and winding down in the evening when there is less energy available. As well there are the larger seasonal cycles, solstices, equinoxes, and the times in between them.when we are in tune with and align consciously with these cycles of nature, the rhythm of Life, we find more harmony and balance in our lives. Spring is a natural time to go forward and celebrate the energies which are coming out of the hibernation of Winter. How much more potent a time it is when we meet this new energy and enthusiasm unencumbered by the past. Now that Spring has come, we can support those tender little sprouts of Life by clearing out the past and creating a space for them to grow and flourish. When we follow these cycles, we harness the Life energy of the planet and begin to dance to the same beat of Life. So by paying attention to the cycles of Life, we begin to work with them to receive the gift of their energy. With some small investment on our part, we can dramatically change the energies of our environment, making our homes a sanctuary to reflect our highest intentions, and dreams.

20 Where is The Love? by Larry Wohlgemuth, reprinted from the Quester, Newsletter of the Canadian Society of Questers Spring 2005 By 1975 there were more than 58,000 American soldiers dead, 300,000 wounded, and as many as 3,000,000 dead Vietnamese. Watergate had held the nation hostage for over two years. Nixon resigned and Gerald Ford pardoned him. The nation was deeply and bitterly divided over these and other issues, and yet, when the war in Vietnam finally ended, it still had the support of half of the American people, roughly the same percentage of people construed by polls to support the war today. Why then were we successful at stopping the war in Vietnam, but we seem unable to even slightly slow the progress of events in Iraq? Never during the Vietnam War did we see anything like the protests held worldwide against the war in Iraq. Millions and millions of people took to the streets of cities all over the planet, literally shutting them down, in concerted opposition to the war. The antiwar protests of the sixties paled by comparison. Yet, despite all those millions of well-intentioned people taking to the streets, there was barely a blip on the course of events, and Bush was able to relegate us to the status of a focus group. The answer is found in the understanding of love and hate as political forces, and the methods by which they can be used against us. There is an old Star Trek episode where an evil force (wasn t it always an evil force?) seized control of the Enterprise, and removed all but a handful of her crew from it, and replaced them with an equal number of Klingons. This force then made the chosen men unable to die and set them to fighting one another. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) was the first to notice that, even though they had been killed, none of the soldiers ever stayed dead. He then saw that the force would feed off the hatred generated by the Page 20 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

21 combatants and it would grow in strength the more they fought. His resolution to this dilemma was to convince the Klingons, to join him in laughter and merriment, which starved the force, took its power away from it, and drove it from the ship. Gene Roddenberry understood love and hate as political forces. The first part he understood is that there are usually not just two sides in any conflict, as is generally represented to us. He recognized how the unscrupulous could use hatred based on race, sex, religion, or nationality to instigate hostilities between those groups. He also grasped the fact that the unscrupulous ones could use ANY hatred to their advantage. And he demonstrated how the act of love could salve all wounds and take the power away from those who would exploit hatred. So how does this apply to the antiwar movement? Hatred is indeed a force that will motivate people to action, but it is destructive action. History is replete with instances where two countries stood as allies in battle to defeat a common enemy only to turn their guns on one another when that common enemy was defeated. The hatred had not yet been sufficiently drained. Even in the absence of an enemy, hatred will continue to rule its owner until the conscious effort to replace it with love is made. Today s antiwar movement has all of the corporate trappings like continuity and planning, pretty and poignant signs, and state- of-the-art sound systems. They have demonstrated to their enemies an ability to mobilize on a global basis and to motivate millions to take to the streets, yet they are brushed aside like yesterday s newspaper. So what is it that they are missing? It s the love. Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 21

22 I am not asking you to love Bush or Cheney, et al, rather to curb your hatred towards them and to focus it on their policies, and not on them as human beings. But the next time you are at an event, extend your hand in friendship and love to every person you see. Carry it over into your everyday life, too. Introduce or re-introduce yourself to everyone in your life, such as your grocer and dry cleaner. Shake their hands and look them in the eye so they can feel the love. Demonstrate your love for humanity in everything you do. People are craving love so much you will find yourself to be the Pied Piper, with folks seeking you out and following you wherever you go. When we all fall in love with each other, we will become a force so terrifying to these hatemongers that they will vanish in record time. If you have any doubts about the power of love, all you need to do is look at who it is the hatemongers have feared so much that they felt compelled to kill them. Men like JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X. All understood and used the most powerful weapon known to man. They inspired people to peace, love and hope for the future. They all met the same, tragic fate. Then think of the ones that did not get killed, and see how their messages differ from the messages of those who did. Love is the cheapest and most powerful weapon known to mankind, plus it has the added benefit that it seems to grow wherever it is used. It was Jesus weapon of choice. Unholster it and use it today. Let s get out there and win a war where the weapons are Love. Wishing you all peace, love and hope for the future. Page 22 Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011

23 An Indigenous Custodial Spirit By John Richardson The owner could not understand why their large home had not sold during the two years it had been on the market. There had been considerable interest in the property and the price was right - but it just would not sell. He asked me to find out why and correct the situation, if possible. I took my L-rods and tuned into the subject property, from my home, and ascertained there was an indigenous facet to the property that needed to be resolved. An Energy Transposing Unit was put in place. This is a mental construct placed remotely with intent, which normally transmutes the detrimental energies into beneficial. (sort of like a car-wash). A time and date was arranged for us to personally inspect the property. (treat these cases with particular care and respect.) With the Energy Transposing Unit being locked-in-place, I was surprised at the extent of the non-beneficial energies still present surrounding the house, and their resistance to the effects of the transposing unit, but the energies were not heavy in nature. When we were working in the billiard room the L-rods indicated an area of different energy (About the size of a 44 gallon drum when stood on its end). My enquiry revealed this as the property s indigenous custodial spirit. To show my heart was pure in my dealings with the spirit, and with the spirit s permission, I entered into the spirit s space. Again I was surprised at the cooperation of the spirit. My offer to help should it want to pass-over was declined. The spirit Dowsers Society of NSW December 2011 Page 23

It was agreed that if a person who truly loved the property could be found, the spirit would stay and co-operate with them. We asked for such a person to be forthcoming and purchase the property. The feeling in the room immediately changed and everything tested fine. The very next person to view the property loved it and purchased it at the asking price. Years later she is still very happily living there. I do not know if the new owner was ever told the above particulars, but with a spirit having such love for the property co-operating with her - I do not expect her to have many problems in her personal journey - do you?
