Pendulum Proficiency: You Can Learn To Dowse!
You have a hidden ability to know the answer to any question.
Dowsing is a natural intuitive ability everyone has. It is the second half of your native intelligence, the half based in intuition that uses the language of your body to give you answers to questions your rational mind cannot answer.
Counter to what some people say, dowsing is not a psychic ability only a few people are born with; it is a skill that anyone can learn to use. Pendulum Proficiency gives you a strong foundation in the basics of dowsing, including tool use, pitfalls, popular applications and answers to the most common questions asked about dowsing. Even for those with some experience of dowsing, this book offers insights not commonly taught in beginning courses. While Pendulum Proficiency is not a complete course, it is designed to give you a detailed look at dowsing so that you can decide if you want to dive deeper into this amazing skill. Links to dowsing resources are provided in the book.
You are more powerful than you ever dreamed. Dowsing taps into that power and ultimately can help you create a happier life.
Buy Pendulum Proficiency and open the door to a whole new world of discovery and transformation using your natural intuitive capabilities.

I found a small portion of the writing about the basic technical aspects of using the pendulum to be useful, but I can't look to this book for much deeper thought than that. It contains a lot of tasteless lecturing, defensiveness and general mystical claims without deeper explanations or arguments, so the metaphysical discussion is largely useless. The authors clearly expect to be trusted at face value, in pushy writing that reads a lot like a sales pitch and displays a puerile and closed-minded conception of mental states. I find the general lack of humility and thoughtfulness very off-putting.
The introduction makes an inane argument against using dowsing to find solutions to external problems with other people. According to this book, "Thinking a thing is the right thing to do doesn't mean it's the right thing to do," because "The Nazis thought they were doing the right thing too, you know! You do NOT have permission to do it." This essentially blindsides you with a Godwin so it can sidestep the factors that actually determine whether it is justified to believe you are in the right, like reason, evidence, truth, honesty, intent, outcome, and sometimes intuition. The author is not doing right by telling me which thoughts I'm allowed to have while I meditate with a piece of stone dangling from the end of a chain. Yes I will dowse to find out how to quiet the neighbors. Yes I will dowse to help a loved one quit a dangerous addiction. Yes I will dowse to find ways to be treated fairly by someone who is hurting me. No I do not need anyone's permission. I trust myself to do right by using my own conscientious faculties to assess my thoughts in their unlimited totality and thereby choose my best possible words and actions. I do not need any more permission to justify dowsing about a person than I need to justify thinking about a person.
Dowsing about external factors creates particularly falsifiable evidence. This "ethics" business limiting falsifiable use of dowsing comes right after a repetitive few paragraphs asserting that the evidence against dowsing's validity doesn't matter because the practice makes people happy. Is falsifiability the thing that the authors are really seeking to avoid? It seems that way.
I devoutly use ethical guidelines in determining how I speak, write, and act. But I will never let any rules or guidelines -- especially not someone else's -- determine what I think about. This book's ethics come off as threatening, limiting, misanthropic and (ironically) ego-driven. No thanks. I don't like to be mean to authors, but nor do I like to be clumsily beaten about the head with a Hitler-shaped club by a moralizer as soon as I open a book about what's supposed to be an open-minded practice.
