One application that seems particular to dowsing, is\nthat of removing Earth energies, which are perceived to be detrimental to\nhealth. We have met these in earlier posts for example post: 06-05-2020 – Earth\nenergies view from Europe. They are variously referred to as \u2018black streams\u2019,\nor \u201cgeopathic stress\u201d, or some time even \u201cley lines\u201d. They are considered to be\nresponsible for a range of health conditions. A description is provided by the author\nof this BSD article, \u201cDowsing for the cause of certain illnesses\u201d, by Herbert\nDouglas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Douglas has dowsed the bed rooms of a significant\nnumber of people, who had either cancer or arthritis. In all cases he finds\nunderground streams crossing under the beds of the sufferers. The article has\nseveral photos of beds showing this phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many dowsers spend a lot of their time and effort\nmaking suitable interventions to block, divert or remove these energies. In the\npast, such an intervention was often referred to as de-raying, reflecting the\nidea that these energies were indeed energetic rays.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, published in 1985, in the Journal of\nthe British Society of Dowsers, the author Michael Guest, who became an\nhonorary life-president of the society, reviews the field at that time, in\n\u201cThrough Dowser\u2019s eyes. A survey of deraying techniques\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his article, Guest points out that for a long time,\nhe was puzzled about the apparent dual natures of dowsing \u2013 physical and\npsychic. He finally rationalised the situation by viewing these explanations as\nbeing \u201ctwin aspects of an underlying unity\u201d. He then proceeds through the\nvarious methods dowsers use across the spectrum, from physical to purely\nmental. At the physical end, dowsers use \u201cdevices\u201d of various kinds, then there\nare physical actions, through to a simple action of intent to intervene, (even\njust using a map). It would appear that all these interventions are indeed\nunified through the act of intention. This is the simplest explanation; the use\nof devices is simply part of a ritual, a physical representation of the intent.\nThe dowser believes that it is the device that is making an active\nintervention, or possibly it helps overcome any unconscious inhibitions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what of the noxious energy lines themselves? There\nis a frequent attribution to underground water. Other dowsers mention\ngeological rock faults, \u201cley lines\u201d and Herbert Douglas even mentions lightning\nstrikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common assertion though is an association\nwith water, and this must be because the dowser is obtaining a reaction for\nwater. However, there is very little written that shows any independent confirmation\nof this link, for example, no drilling to confirm the existence of the streams.\nThere is perhaps a possibility that the cause of the reaction is somehow\nmis-identified. However, some accounts do exist that collaborate the link\nindecently of the dowser\u2019s reaction. A particularly interesting one, is\nreferred to (not in the article)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDowsing on a Scottish farm\u201d, by David Steven :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.dowsing-research.net\/blog_extracts\/BSD_No178_1977_p86.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this he refers to an exceptional dowse, Mrs Smithett,\nwho through map dowsing discovered black streams and good streams. An\nintriguing point was that there existed wells on both these stream types,\nseemingly conforming the link between actual water and black streams. \u201c[T]here\nwere wells along the black lines, but according to local tradition these were\nbad wells, and nobody drank water from them. One well was fenced off as being\nharmful to animals\u201d. But the wells on the good lines were OK, \u201cpeople go to\nthem in preference to using water from the main.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his article, Guest refers to instances where\nstreams have been diverted. And there are many accounts in the BSD journal of\nsimilar results, lending credibility to the idea. But as we have seen, some\ndowsers show considerable PK ability, so it is not beyond possibility that they\ncould possibly influence the course of underground streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there may be other explanations than purely\nphysical ones. Based on observations such as those of Douglas above, that lines\nso often pass under a \u201cvictim\u2019s\u201d chair or bed, Guest speculates as to \u201cwhether\nthe lines create the illness, or the illness creates the lines\u201d. It\u2019s a good\nquestion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
