I've Put This Blog "On Hold"

I want to thank you for visiting A Dowser's Diary.

This blog is temporarily defunct. It's not because the dowsing was unsuccessful - in fact, it's the opposite. My dowsing has been very successful and enlightening and has taken me to new areas of exploration regarding my intuitive powers.

Such activity, however, can be hampered by open discussion and publicity. Talking about it can impede its progress. So I've had to make a choice: Continue the blog and curtail progress, or stop the blog and continue exploring. For the time being, at least, I've selected the second path.

Once I deal with this situation, I would like to resurrect this blog, but not quite yet.

Thank you for your understanding ~ Greg

"Letting" ~ Not "Making" ~ It Happen

I’m learning that successful dowsing involves “letting” it happen instead of “making” it happen. I’m sure it would  be easier if I could “make” dowsing happen because my thoughts, efforts and force-of-will would all be directed at the dowsing task. 

To “let” dowsing happen is quite a different thing.

When we let something happen – still maintaining the desire that it will happen – we essentially turn over the responsibility to something else. Sometimes people talk about turning things over to God – yes, you still want some particular thing to happen, but you know you must get out of the way.

Letting dowsing happen means you have confidence that it will happen. And you trust that it will happen. This is not “hope,” which is something quite different, with more built-in anticipation and loopholes.

So far, every time I’ve been able to dowse – to watch the rods move to tell me yes, or to point to a missing object – I’ve been passive. I’ve let it happen. I trusted that it would happen and it did.

That’s about as well as I can express it at this point anyway.

You articulated it well. My difficulty is letting go the ego that is causing palpable blockage to see images or beings. I believe it is do to my neurological disorder that causes an abnormal psychoanalytical or phylogenetic disposition. [sign]
