Pendulum Power has fascinated people for centuries, and in this new series of articles I will discuss the power of the pendulum in detail. Over the next few posts you will learn:
- Why the power within you knows the answers to all questions and is even able to help you foretell the future.
- Why a pendulum is an excellent tool to help you communicate quickly and easily with the power within you.
- How to make a pendulum of your own.
- How to use a pendulum to tap into the unlimited source of knowledge within you.
At the appropriate point I will also provide a special chart which you can start using immediately to help reveal what the future has in store for you!
Let’s start by discussing…
The Source Of All Knowledge
If I told you that the power within you was the source of all knowledge and could provide you with information not obtainable elsewhere, you might be a little sceptical. Your scepticism, however, would not invalidate the fact that this is the truth. The power within you – as regular readers of Create Good Things will already be aware – has the answer to any question, the solution to any problem and the key to unlock any door which you may face.
Think about this for a few moments and it will be obvious that we shouldn’t expect anything less from the power which created and sustains the universe we live in. Since we and everything around us is energy what the energy does in one place or time is intuitively known in every other place and time.
Consider a lake. Drop a pebble at one end of a lake and the effects of this small action will be registered throughout the whole. Ripples expand from the point where the pebble hit the water and continue expanding until the whole of the surface knows that the event has taken place. Of course, the ripple might not be visible to the human eye for more than a few metres, but on a microscopic level it continues far wider. On a quantum level the act of dropping a small pebble into a lake causes major reactions which any scientist can measure.
So it is with the energy in and around you. But because the power within you is divine and is not limited to time, it knows how events will unfold in the future as well as what has happened in the past.
This is not to say that the future is fixed, because that isn’t the case. But it is the case that for every action there is a reaction. If you ask the source of all knowledge within you what your future holds, it will answer according to the actions which you are currently taking. You can then choose to change this future by changing your current actions.
For example, if you ask if you are going to be healthy in five years time and the source says no, this does not mean that health is not possible for you.
On the contrary, if you look at your current lifestyle and you make changes such as quitting smoking, taking up exercise on a regular basis and begin eating a more balanced diet, you will automatically change the state of your health in the future.
It is important to realise that the future can be changed by changing your daily actions because so many people believe falsely that destiny is written on tablets of stone. They don’t even bother to try to improve their lives and so – like a self-fulfilling prophecy – their lives continue to head towards the future that they believe is already fixed.
So much for the theory – how can one access the source of all knowledge for oneself? Well, you have probably accessed this source of all knowledge quite accidentally in the past.
- You may have heard the telephone ring and known instinctively who was calling you.
- You may have had a dream which foretold a future event.
- You may have ‘known’ what someone was going to say even before they had said a word.
- You may have found yourself experiencing Déjà Vu, knowing on a very deep inner level that the situation or place you were in was strangely familiar to you.
All of these incidents are examples of how the source of all knowledge is tapped ‘accidentally’ from time to time. Unfortunately, accidents are random events and so if we want to access this kind of knowledge on a regular basis to help us live our lives more effectively, we need to find a method of divination which can be relied upon at all times to provide answers to our questions as and when we need them.
The search for such a method is not new. Many have tried and a few have succeeded, but most of the divination methods discovered are complex and require a lot of self-education.
The Tarot is a wonderful example. Its effectiveness is hard to dispute, but mastering Tarot cards on your own can take a long time, and that might not be good enough if you need a quick answer to a quick question. The I-Ching and casting of Runes are similar methods which require at least a working knowledge of how the symbols are to be interpreted, and so on.
But what if there was a method of accessing inner knowledge which didn’t require anything great in the way of self-education? What if you could find a method of gaining the answer to any question within minutes? Even better, what if this method was truly portable and could be used anywhere?
Welcome to the world of Pendulum Power!
Some Law of Attraction teachers say that all you have to do to create good things in your life is imagine good things happening and wait for the universe to deliver. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work quite like that, and it is also necessary to take physical actions to make the manifestation of your desires possible.
Just as you can only receive a telephone call by taking the action of picking up the phone when it rings, so you can only experience the manifestation of your desires by taking the actions that make such receiving possible. If you simply sit back and do nothing, then that’s exactly what you will get.
The good news is that the Law of Attraction often makes physical actions a lot more effective than it ever would be if you had not first created your future internally as described in the previous post. When you create your future in the way that I have been explaining, you can expect all sorts of coincidences to show up in your life that help you to manifest your desires faster and easier than you might currently think possible. So what kind of actions should you start taking?
I think it is a good idea to borrow the philosophy of many spiritual thinkers throughout history in this respect. ‘Pray as if it all depends on God,’ they said, ‘and act as if it all depends on you.’ In other words, you should simply take whatever actions would be necessary to achieve the goal even if the Law of Attraction didn’t exist.
If you want to lose weight, start eating more sensibly and get regular exercise. If you want to get a promotion at work, focus on being more productive and enthusiastic about your job. And if you want more wealth in your life, start looking for ways in which you can increase your income – perhaps by investing in training materials or even in personal development materials that will help you develop a more abundant state of mind.
Don’t think of these actions as being anything negative because they aren’t. Think of them as your way of showing the universe that you are serious about what you want and that you are going to use every resource available to bring it into your life. When you do this you are effectively participating in a process of ‘active receiving’ and your efforts will not be wasted.
At this point we can summarise the Create Your Future process quite simply:
• Design Your Future by deciding what you really want.
• Create Your Future Internally with visualization and affirmations.
• Create Your Future Externally by taking action toward your goals.
Apply this process in your life and the Law of Attraction will do the rest.
In my last post I explained that the first step to creating the life of your dreams was to design your future. If you have done that you are ready to proceed to the next step, which is to create your future internally. This involves using a couple of techniques to bring you to the point where you completely believe that your future success has already been achieved on an internal level.
The first technique I recommend, and one that will be very familiar to anyone who is familiar with the Law of Attraction, is visualization. Visualizing is traditionally defined as ‘to imagine in pictures’, but getting the feeling of having accomplished something is just as important as imagining scenes of accomplishment, so don’t get too hung up on the visual side of things. Instead, concentrate on developing a feeling that the future you have created has already come to pass on an inner level.
To do this, close your eyes and allow yourself to ‘make believe’ that the future you have designed has magically come true. Imagine that you have the physique of your dreams, that your bank balance is as high as you ever wanted it to be, that you already live in your ideal home, and so on. Spend several minutes doing this and make sure that you enjoy every second, then make sure that you repeat the exercise at least three times each day. View it as ‘visiting your creation in advance’.
Astute readers will note that I asked you to ‘make believe’ rather than fantasize. That’s because what you are doing here is literally making a new belief about your reality, and when your belief is formed the magic of believing comes into play to speed up the manifestation process.
The second technique that you should use to create your future internally is affirmation, which involves saying positive statements with as much conviction and belief as possible. I suggest that you use the statements that you wrote down in Step 3 of the Design Your Future exercise and that you get into the habit of speak them out loud several times a day. Also speak them quietly to yourself when you find yourself with nothing particular to do, such as when queuing in a store or waiting for a friend.
Concentrate on using these two techniques of visualization and affirmation on a daily basis and always aim to develop the emotional feeling of having rather than wanting. By making the belief that you already have what you want, you effectively create your future internally and put yourself in a great position for the third and final phase, which I will discuss next time.
Until you design your future, you will never be able to take control and create it as you want it to be. Whilst many people allow their lives to unfold according to chance, the end result of such an approach is rarely impressive, and leads to a state of mediocrity at best. Just as a garden that is not maintained will eventually become overgrown with weeds, so a life that has not been deliberately designed will eventually become a pale shadow of what it could have been.
Clearly, if you want to live life to the full, you need to stop being a passenger and choose to jump into the driving seat instead. Designing your future isn’t particularly difficult, and once you have done it you will be able to quickly move on and start creating it just as you have designed. That said, here’s how to design your future…
Step 1 – Define Your Life
First, take a pad and pencil and write down six headings: Health & Fitness, Career, Finances, Relationships, Tangibles and Personal Development. If you wish to rename these headings or add/remove one or two, feel free to do so (for example, a retired person might not feel the need for a Career heading).
Step 2 – Imagine the Possibilities
Next, look at each heading in turn and decide what you want the area of your life to be like in the future. Don’t worry about what you currently think is possible or about how something might be achieved, simply identify what you want. For example, under the Personal Development heading you might want to have learned to speak a second language, and under the Tangibles heading you might want to be the proud owner of a particular sports car.
Step 3 – Write it Down
When you have decided on something, write down a brief description of what you want under the appropriate heading. Write in the present tense as if the future vision is already a reality. For example, under Personal Development you might write, “I can communicate fluently in Japanese.” And under the Health & Fitness heading you might write “I have a sleek, toned physique that makes me feel as good as I look.”
You should spend as much time as you want on this process of designing your future and have fun with it. However, do take it seriously, because when you follow through with the next few steps that I will present in my next two posts, the future you design will be transformed into an actual reality. So design something special!
If you want to know how to predict the future then you’re in luck, because I can tell you. The most reliable way of predicting the future doesn’t involve crystal balls, tarot cards, tea leaves or any other kind of fortune-telling paraphernalia. That’s because the best way to predict the future is to create it.
Most people allow the future to unfold all by itself, and as a result they find themselves being led by the circumstances of life. If their employer offers them a promotion they take it and move up the career ladder. If he doesn’t then they stay exactly where they are. If the fashion world decides that the colour of the season is green then they end up wearing green for a few months. And if the colour is blue they wear blue. In other words, most people allow life to boss them around.
Allowing life to boss you around makes your future very unpredictable, because you have no idea what’s coming next. This can make you feel insecure, anxious and literally clueless about where you will be one, five or ten years down the line. Some people might say that they are quite happy to ‘go wherever life leads them’ but to me that kind of approach is a complete waste of conscious intelligence and makes it very difficult for anyone to live life to the full.
If you want to predict the future with a much greater degree of certainty, and trade anxiety and insecurity for confidence, you need to start creating your future instead of just waiting for it to happen. This involves deciding exactly what you want to experience and achieve in your life, establishing the desired outcome in your mind as if it were already a reality, and then taking the actions that are required to shift your creation in the mental universe into the physical universe.
Over the next few posts I will discuss each of these elements so that you are in no doubt about how to proceed. This will allow you to start creating your future as you want it to be – something that makes predicting the future easier than you ever thought possible!
