Note: because of the importance of dealing with the situations in India and Israel-Palestine, I’ve published this week’s psychic work first, and it can be found at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2021/05/post-no-1860-this-weeks-psychic-work.html.
One of the most fatal of all flaws is the flaw of thinking that doing psychic work in a way based on accurate measurement (or attempts at accurate measurement) is somehow wrong or offensive.
In my experience, that is to quite an extent a response to the arrogance and simple-mindedness (because of their VERY limited scope of thinking / life experience) of those who think quantitative (i.e., measured by numbers - example definitions here, here, and here) ways are the only way that matters - and, in my day job I encounter some people who are utterly numbers focused as I do my own work (which is a combination of numbers-focused, qualitative-focused, people-focused and environmentally-focused), so I have a fair basis for making that statement, in my opinion.
The sad thing is that that bias against numbers is wrong - quantitative (numbers) psychic work is as important, and, in many cases, more important, than “qualitative” (“nice”, “hard”, “cold”, etc - example definitions here, here, and here).
However, in the context of this type of divination, where we’re looking at determining psychic weather in a way that will enable the best use of our time and other resources, measuring (quantitative) divination will help us make decisions about what areas have the greater need for help.
Of course, that could be done using qualitative descriptions such as “a lot”, “a moderate amount”, or “a little”, but even that involves some sort of initial measuring or attempt to quantify.
If you are uncomfortable with that, I consider that you should examine whether you are reacting to the abuse of intellectual snobs, or whether you are reacting to a fear that you will be able to do this.
OK, so having got that out of the way, . . .
I dowse for a value between 1 and 10: “On a scale from one to ten, how much _ energy is currently present in the area represented by that part of the map I am pointing to?” (which my BPM Guides and the crystals I work with have agreed can be shortened now).
Strictly speaking, I could say I dowse between 0 and 10, but the likelihood of there being zero amount of a particular type of energy is infinitesimally small.
So one area could have 6 out of 10 of a particular type of energy, and another area could have 3 out of 10. If the second area has twice as many people, or twice as much area, it may well be that they are of equal importance.
(I am going to get into types of energy and a few other aspects in future lessons.)
This often raises another point that many people who are wanting to make the world a better place struggle with: real world resources - including your time and energy - do have finite limits. So, unless you’re going to get into this sort of irresponsibility, and become a well-wisher rather than a credible worker, that is something you will have to come to terms with in your own way.
Most of the hypothetical scenarios which people come up with to challenge people on this are reflective of their lack of life experience or an addiction to drama, and thus are worse than useless. More realistic ways to consider this are:
- two friends invite you to parties on the same day, at the same time;
- two of your kids need help with their homework as you prepare tea (that is a useful example, as it also raises the possibility of being inspired to do things in new or better ways, or ask people for help, etc); or
- two family members are both ill, but well apart physically (assuming this example is in a time not affected by the pandemic) so you can only visit one and not the other (this is useful as it raises how to deal openly and honestly with not being able to do all that you want).
Having worked through that, I recommend that you record the numbers you find through dowsing. Apart from anything else, the focus or number of areas you are dowsing may result in you simply forgetting what a particular number was (and, for that matter, what the qualitative value [a lot, some, a little] was, if you use that.)
This also leads in to some other aspects, such as plotting the values using contours - a little like a weather map. I’ll get into that in more detail in a future lesson, but in the meantime, you may like to consider: this, this, & this; this, this, this, this, & this; and this, this, & this.
