It is typical of many down to\nEarth accounts submitted to the BSD journal in the earlier years of the society\u2019s\nexistence, often by members working in many countries across the World, often\ndowsing in very tough environment. The society acted as a means of linking\nthese people together, to exchange information. They illustrate how important\ndowsers were in past days and how practical the activity of dowsing was back then;\nin contrast one feels to the more spiritual direction it has gone in more\nrecent times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Morton seems to have been another dowser of\nremarkable sensitivity, for he describes how he could sense water up to ten\nmiles away. The reaction of his Y shaped dowsing rod seems to have been considerable,\nwhich makes one wonder whether some form of psychokinesis was at work here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was intrigued by the harmful effects attributed to\nsubterranean water flows. He remarks how trees appeared to be weakened when growing\nover such flows. And indeed, his own is sensitivity to water, seemed to have a deleterious\neffect on him, if exposed for some time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For much of the BSD\u2019s existence, the effect of\nunderground water flows on health, has been of considerable interest to many dowsers.\nMaybe this effect is real and is mediated by one\u2019s sensitivity to water? But something\nthat has puzzled me often, is that the claims that underground water is causing\nsome ailment, is never substantiated by actually drilling down to the supposed\nflow. And rather interesting, Mr Morton observed that in his experience, mineral\ndeposits could be interpreted by many dowsers as underground streams, though he\nhimself had a certain \u201cgift\u201d to differentiate between the two. It just makes me\nwonder. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
