Padma
Lotus Padma, I often refer to my pendulum as "lying" to me, but in my case it is me lying to myself (which we all do from time to time). I've done things to my pendulum to ensure that I am talking to myself, using my subconscious to move the pendulum and not communicating with a spirit. I feel safer that way, but it does mean that I have to take extra care to be ready to receive truthful answers. If I persist in an area where answers are unclear or I've been warned not to ask (trying to rephrase or ask around an issue seeing if I can get a better idea of the lack of clarity) I will almost always get blatantly incorrect answers. It's my unconscious, so I'm quite aware of my own tendency to be a smarta** when pressured. Makes perfect sense that my pendulum can get sarcastic.
wow. Well, I guess that was what i was doing. Funny how you don't realise something truly and completely until someone articulates it really well for you! lol...I have done the same, I think. I can recall one incident where I lied to myself via my pendulum. Awesome answer, Laura_belle
Maybe that's it....expect the truth and nothing less! Seriously though I often wonder if doubting if my answers are correct affects the accuracy of the answers I get.
I will say I've had some accurate answers to questions where the answer was unknown to me.
I am curious........for people who use charts as well as yes/no questions.....if they find one method more accurate than the other?
I bet doubting anything divinatory leads to "off" answers...Sometimes I think the systems (cards, runes, crystals) are somewhat placebo in nature, and are more effective if believed without question...And can't wait to see what responses you get about charts and boards...
I hope this is helping frac_ture as well! lol...I do feel as though I have hijacked the thread somewhat. Sorry...I just had to know about the lying thing. How are you getting on with your pendulum, Frac_ture?
