Using Intuition for Guidance: |

 Because making an
attunement to the higher self takes some work and discipline, and because people often
distrust themselves, there have always been inventions designed to streamline the process
of finding out what the unconscious has to say. Over the centuries people have developed
methods to learn the opinion of the subconscious mind, bypassing the conscious mind. These
are not methods of attunement, but many people have found them useful. They are presented
here, for you to explore. They are followed by a discussion process about their value.
Explore these learning experiences at these web sites and return to complete your
assignment. By the way, muscle testing, explored in the
previous lesson, is another example of "idiodynamics."Off Campus Learning Centers (Links): Try using either a pendulum, or muscle testing from the previous lesson, to explore a personal issue in your own life. Use it on an issue that you can actually act upon so that you can test out the validity of the information received. Follow through on the answer to test it out. Assignment #23 Discuss your experience with the idiodynamic method of your choice (muscle testing or pendulum). Compare the idiodynamic methods with your own inner knowing:
Email your comments to your friends. Send them the links to the experiments and ask them to explore these methods and get back to you. Perhaps together you can invent a new method better than them all. Note: The subject of idiodynamics leads easily into the subject of dowsing, which may combine intuitive techniques with geophysical events. Dowsing is a method of detection and discovery that may be related to muscle testing and the use of the pendulum, depending upon how you envision the underlying mechanism. On the overt level, dowsing is similar to the pendulum, because an external object (the dowsing rod) serves as an indicator, as does the pendulum. Also, dowsing may be similar to muscle testing, in that dowsing may respond to the reaction of the body. In any event, dowsing, like intuition, seems to extend the repertoire of the senses in tasks involving detection and discovery. The most familiar use of dowsing is for locating wells or sources of water. Below are some web sites devoted to dowsing. |
