| My Biggest Mistake |
| The Weird stuff is cancelled ! |
| My Biggest mistake If I'm presenting a rosy view of my successes in dowsing this next story proves I'm very fallible indeed and is a source of great regret for me. I feel a great sense of responsibility and the last thing I want to be guilty of is raising up people's hopes only to dash them later. I had just made contact with a friend that I hadn't seen for about 10 years due to moving away from his area. I also discovered from his mother that he had epilepsy and had so all the time I had known him ! Now I knew he was a private person, but I had no idea he was that private. Epilepsy had ruined his life and even more so than normal, because he had only recently been offficially diagnosed as such and for the majority of his adult life so far, he had been without the conventional drugs that could've given him a reasonably normal life. He had been on these drugs for about a year or so, when I waltzed in. I was flushed with my recent success and now I had a chance to make a vast difference to my old friend's life. On the 1st night of seeing him I commenced my dowsing and incorrectly dowsed that he had a problem with whey powder. He stopped taking whey for a while, but of course it didn't stop the fits. I then made the 'diagnosis' that it was in fact milk that was the problem, and although it looked bad that I'd changed my mind, I had already warned him that my 'diagnoses' weren't always correct, but that my medicines I trusted 100%. So I gave him four pretty innocuous (From a conventional medicinal viewpoint) medicines which included Garlic tablets and some herbal remedy for rheumatism and told him to take them all at once for a month. I rang him up a month later to see how he was doing and he told me he had stopped taking them, because after a week or so his fits had increased in number. And that was the end of it, so far as he was concerned, my medicines were blocking the effects of the drugs in just the same way that alcohol did for him. For me, the fact my 'innocuous' medicines had such a great effect was interesting from a homeopathic point of view, but this was a failure, plain and simple. From my own experiences, I remembered the homeopathic dowser commenting that he didn't want to give me such a large dose of one particular medicine because he "didn't want to make me too ill". So I checked with my keys and it told me that he should take the medicine separately to avoid the 'healing side effects', but that was all to late then. I'd lost him. For me, this was doubly upsetting because I was aware of this stuff before. When I was dowsing my friend's medicine I asked the question "Is it OK to take these medicines one after another ?" It would answer YES. And that it is correct, because if it's not hindering the healing in any way, then that's OK. But it was not answering YES to "Will the healing effect of all these medicines taken together cause undue pain or discomfort to the person?", because that was not implied in the question. And here we come to a sticky point, because I'm sure that's what I was implying in a general sort of way. And I'm damn sure I was mislead about the Whey powder 'diagnosis' in exactly the same nitpicking way. And here we enter the twilight zone. You see at the time I viewed the Pendulum as my friend and that as long as my cause was 'just' and was simply about healing people, it wouldn't mislead me. But it did, and so the murky aspects of Intent and Motivation enter the scene and it would be fair to say I was not in a particularly balanced frame of mind when I was dealing with my friend. I was putting myself under a lot of pressure and I when I do that I start emotionally and intellectually speeding up, which is not a good thing especially when you're making such fine judgements. However I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel uncomfortable with these intent and motivational aspects, because it just feels like to me that I'm being mislead. There is another interesting thing to this case which has highlighted a complication in the process of healing someone and that's the attitude of the 'patient' himself. In my friend's case, much common sense information had been revealed to suggest areas for his own investigation. For instance, there is the absence of the characteristic brain dysfunction and also there's a pattern to his Epilepsy. Both of these are non-characteristic symptoms, which suggests to me and him, that it's some external factor, most likely something in his diet. I also found articles on the internet suggesting a link to Epilepsy and milk and although I didn't give him them, he is aware of them. To this day I don't think he's tried eliminating one food stuff at a time out of his diet. He hasn't visited a dietician to help advise him. He hasn't got a himself a computer, got on the internet and investigated for himself some of the promising leads I found. If I sound a bit annoyed, well that's true, but exasperated would be more like it. But you must remember he did not seek me out, I came to him like a whirlwind promising miraculous cures and failed, and if he's switched off to me it's my own fault. But it's more than that, he is an intensely private person who has strong tendency to keep everything the same in his life and so he lives with epilepsy, it may have been hell at times, but at least it was his own familiar hell. For me, as usual it has been a learning experience and has made me realise that with all the best intentions in the world you can't 'cure' people, because people for a multitude of reasons, some quite justified, won't allow it. |
| The Weird Stuff is cancelled! I don't believe in preaching to the converted and this website is aimed at an intelligent, open minded, curious kind of person, who may not even be interested in the paranormal. So when I came down to write my more weird experiences with dowsing, I decided to delay it, for fear of people doubting my sanity, and hence not taking the rest of the website seriously. If I decide this website is a success even by very modest standards,I will still have to weigh up how much I will tell of my story, because I haven't the faintest idea what kind of people will be attracted to it and therefore what shape it will take in the future. |
