Pendulum Divination
Do you believe in predictions of your life's future events? Have you been through fortune telling, or tarot card readings, or even crystal balls, or perhaps Ouija boards? Do you believe in what they tell you? Or do you think that the reader is just making that up?
Daddy is a tarot card reader. He keeps his deck of cards in a nice box, covered with a red cloth, together with the book (in a very good condition) in a drawer. I've read the book before, and even tried out one of the tarot readings using a deck of gambling cards, which reads about my past, present and future. I'm not a very good reader, but the reading was true. Should have noted down the future readings, then I could see if it was really true or not.
But what I believe in is "pendulum divination". It's just using a silver ring suspended from a silver chain, hold it with your right hand, and let the ring hang motionless above your left palm. Ask a question, and you'll see the ring starts to swing side-ways or circularly, which means "Yes" or "No". Or it could remain motionless which means "Uncertain". From stationary to swinging by itself, how can this be? But it does! Lavi taught me that back in Form 5 where we were just basically asking (for fun lar) about how many children we would get and whether they would be boys or girls. I was to have 3 children - first 2 are boys, third is a girl. That was in 1995. I tried it again a few occasions years after that and I still got the same answer. Mere coincidence? Tried it yesterday and I got the same answer too. Scary, huh?
I was still unsure about where it really works, so I started asking general questions about myself to see which direction it sways to for "Yes' and "No". My pendulum sways circularly for "Yes", and side-ways for "No". What I asked were :
"Is my name Amanda Yap?" - yes (correct)
"Am I turning 24 this month?" - yes (correct)
"Is my name Yin Yan?" - no (correct)
"Do I work in ELID?" - yes (correct)
"Was I born in January?" - no (correct)
Then I asked questions about my future, and every now and then, I would ask again the same questions above to double check. They were all correct! Well, except that I don't know whether the answers to the questions I asked about the future will come true or not, but I'll give it the benefit of a doubt for now.
I told Laine and Kai Ling about this, and Laine asked if I could 'ask' the pendulum whether she should get a dive computer. So during lunch break, I 'asked' the pendulum these :
"Do I have a friend named Elaine Teoh?" - yes (correct)
"Is she 24 this year?" - yes (correct)
"Should Elaine buy a dive computer?" - no answer
"Was she born in January?" - no (correct)
"Should Elaine buy a dive computer?" - no answer again
"Was she born in August?" - yes (correct)
Tonight, I will 'ask' again, this time, giving the specific model name and price and all and see what answer it will give me.
Did some net surfing about this, and I found a lot of sites which claim that it works, especially for dowsing (locating missing things or people). I wouldn't say that I will very much depend on or hold on to the answers I get. If it's true, then it's true. One way or another, it's still cool, eh?
