Psychometric Analysis

Prepared by Vernon A. Peterson, member of the Appalachian Chapter, for presentation at the Southeastern Dowsers Conference, May 1989.

The pendulum can be used for analysis of human character and mentality to provide enlightening information on people in the news, candidates for public office, business executives, the clergy and many others, living or dead.

It all started with a M. Bovis who, tired of grading cheese and wine by taste, devised a small instrument called a "Biometer" which enabled him to do grading with a pendulum.

Shortly after World War I, a physicist and engineer named Dr. Oscar Brunler became interested in the Biometer and decided to apply it to people. He devised the scale for grading people which we will study.

Then, "Bill" Finch who attended a number of ASD Conventions in the early 1970's expanded the evaluation of the conscious personality and provided a chart which we will use.

Ed Jastram, a foremost authority on this subject, talked at this conference two years ago [1987] and has recently collaborated with Eugene Maurey who is about to publish his book "Exorcism."

Allan P. Lewis outlines techniques adapted from Huna practices to clear away complexes and fixations so that you can start a new life of health, wealth and wisdom. Positive thinking and positive speech are essential.

Our discussion will blend the best of the material from the above sources with experience gained from several years of use.

Psychometric analysis provides an orderly procedure for evaluating human character, mentality and spiritual development. Connection for this psychic investigation can be made through a picture, writing or an object. A visualization may suffice.

Huna philosophy offers the best explanation of how the dowsing reaction is produced. This will be explored in detail.

The meaning of the three readings will be explained to "program" our minds to use the same yardstick. "Bill" Finch's charts follow.

Use the chart that appeals to you for personality analysis:

For yes or no: suspend the pendulum over the circle in the center; ask your subconscious to move the pendulum fore and aft for yes and back and forth between -30 and +30 for no.

Program the subconscious with the following values for deviations from 0.

from	to	description	from	to	description
0	-5	A balanced personality	0	5	Well balanced - ideal
-5	-10	slight tendencies to be selfish - dishonest.	+5	+10	Orthodox - conventional. A seeker for knowledge.
-10	-15	The above increase, greed enters in.	+10	+15	A citizen of good repute, May have closed mind.
-15	-20	Selfish, dishonest, greedy with violence entering in. Negative.	+15	+20	Righteous, bigoted, intolerant. Stubborn. Refuse to change.
-20	-25	Likely to do bodily harm or murder.	+20	+25	Likely to resort to violence for their beliefs.
-25	-30	A multi-murder with intent.	+25	+30	A murderer for his creed or belief.
Negative measurements indicate tendencies to act contrary to established standards of conduct.			The average positive measurement is from 0 to +15 where the goal is a balance development.

With a picture, signature, or object near or in sight, find out if the person is alive by asking, "Is this person still among the breathing?"

Then ask for an evaluation of the consciousness that is (or was) native to the person. Put the pendulum over the center of the chart, give it a motion back and forth toward 0. Watch where it settles down - this will be the reading.

For the subconscious, the same as above for Max Freedom Long's method of a clockwise circle for Positive; counter clockwise for NEGATIVE and elliptical for fixations, obsessions, delusions, etc.

For the third reading we will use the Biometric scale devised by Dr. Brunler Ns Max Freedom Long:

SCALE FOR MEASURING THE EVOLUTIONARY STAGE OF GROWTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

READINGS ARE TAKEN WITH A PENDULUM: START AT 240; INSTRUCT THE LOW SELF TO CONT 10 DEGREES TO EACH COMPLETE BACK AND FORTH SWING OF THE PENDULUM WHILE YOU COUNT SILENTLY UPWARD. WHEN THE SWING STOPS, GO BACK 10 DEGREES AND COUNT UPWARD BY ONES UNTIL THE SWING STOPS. THIS IS THE VALUE.

MEANINGS OF THE VALUE:

CHAKRA OR ENERGY CENTER DIAGNOSIS

[The following is excerpted from Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan, chapter 10]

There are several ways to discern the state of the chakras. In the beginning you will need to explore which practice is easiest and most useful for you.

The best way for most people is to use a pendulum. This device helps increase your sensitivities to the energy flow because it acts as an amplifier.

If you have developed some sensitivity in your hands, or enjoy touching, you can practice sensing the energy flowing in and out of the chakras through feeling them with your hands. This helps to get a sense of whether the energy is freeflowing or clogged, weak or strong. You can do the same thing with an acupuncture point by simply placing your fingertip over it. In this type of sensing, you may even get certain physical feeling responses in your own body that give you the information you wish to know.

To measure the front chakras, ask the recipient to lie on his back. To measure the back chakras, ask the patient to lie on his stomach.

To measure the state of the chakra, hold the pendulum on a string about six inches long over the chakra and empty you mind of all bias as to the state of the chakra. (This is the hardest part and requires practice.) Be sure that the pendulum is as close to the body as possible without touching it. Your energy flows into the field of the pendulum to energize it. This combined field of the pendulum and your energy then interacts with the field of the subject, causing the pendulum to move. It will probably move in a circular pattern, circumscribing an imaginary circle above the body of your subject. It may move back and forth in an elliptical movement or a straight line. It may move erratically. The size and direction of the pendulum movement indicates the amount and direction of energy flowing through the chakra.

Dr. John Pierrakos has found that a clockwise movement of the pendulum denotes a psychodynamically open chakra. That means that the feelings and psychological experiences which are governed by and flow through that chakra are well balanced and full in that person's life. If the pendulum moves counterclockwise, that chakra is psychodynamically closed, indicating a problem area in its corresponding psychological aspect. That means that the feelings and psychological experiences which are governed by a flow through that chakra are not balanced, because the energy is blocked, and probably the person has negative experiences associated with them.

The size of the circle made by the pendulum is related to the chakra's strength and the amount of energy flowing through it. It is also related to the amount of energy the healer and the subject have that day. If a larger circle is circumscribed by the pendulum, there is a lot of energy flowing through it. If the circle is small, there is less energy flowing through it.

It is important to keep in mind that the size of the chakra is not the diameter of the circular figure circumscribed by the pendulum, but is indicated by it. The size of the pendulum's circle is a function of the interaction of all three fields, the field of the subject, therapist and pendulum, as mentioned earlier. If the energies of both people are low, all chakras will appear to be smaller. If the energies are high, all chakras will appear to be larger. One must focus on comparison of the relative sizes among the chakras. Health is achieved by balancing the chakras to create an even flow of energy through them all. For health then, all chakras should be about the same size.

There are many variations between the clockwise and counterclockwise basic forms that indicate various psychological states. Although at first glance this table may seem a bit complicated, it is really quite simple. Each movement circumscribed by the pendulum is a variation between the extremes of a fully open chakra (clockwise 6" diameter), C6, or a fully closed chakra, which is counterclockwise, CC6. I rarely find diameters larger than 6" unless the person is overusing a particular chakra or is very open after a spiritual experience, when most of the chakras are open.

The only exception to falling between C6 and CC6 is the completely still chakra (S) where the pendulum exhibits no movement at all. In this case, either the chakra is reversing its spin or the individual has so overused or held down and blocked the particular psychological function associated with this chakra that it has ceased to spin altogether and no longer metabolizes any energy from the Universal energy Field. This is a state that, if continued for very long, will most assuredly result in disease, since the body cannot function healthily without being able to make use of outside energy.

Any elliptical swing of the pendulum indicates a right/left side imbalance of energy flow in the body. The designations of left or right refer to the left or right sides of the patient's body, i.e., the pendulum swings upward to the left (CEL) or upwards towards the right (CER) side of the patients body. This also indicates that one side of the body is stronger than the other. The right side (CER, CCER) represents the active, aggressive, "masculine" or yang nature. The left side (CEL, CCEL) represents the passive, receptive, "feminine" or yin nature of the personality. When the pendulum circumscribes an ellipse slanted up toward the right side of the subject's body, Dr. John Pierrakos has observed that the personality has it masculine aspect more developed than the feminine. This person will probably be "overactive" in the sense that he would be aggressive in moments when receptivity is more appropriate. This will happen with regard to issues directly related to the area of psychological functioning governed by the particular chakra which exhibits elliptical motion.

In any chakra where the elliptical pendulum swing is up toward the left (CEL, CCEL), the person is more likely to be passive in situations related to issues involved with the particular psychological aspects governed by that chakra. For example, if the will center between the shoulder blades (4B) reads passive (elliptical towards upper left), the person will be unable to reach out for what he wants. This person will remain passive when aggressive action is called for. This person will wait for someone else to do it, or someone else to give it to him. He will also not be able to stand up for his rights or his turn. Many times, a false humility is held up as the reason this person remains passive, but the truth is that he is afraid to be aggressive, usually due to some very deep images about what it means to be aggressive.

The more the circular movement of the pendulum is distorted above any given chakra, the more severe is the psychological distortion. The most sever right/left split is shown by the back and forth movement of the pendulum at a 45^o angle to the vertical axis of the body (R3, L4). The larger the pendulum movement, the greater the amount of energy contained in the distortion. For example, an R6 measurement for chakra 4B indicates that the person will simply and aggressively take what he wants, no matter what the circumstances are.

The same general rule for measuring severity holds true of the back and forth pendulum swing which is either vertical (parallel to the body's vertical axis[V]) or horizontal (perpendicular to the body's vertical axis[H]). The vertical aspect indicates that the individual is diverting energy upward toward the vertical, which means he's avoiding personal interaction. The horizontal pendulum movement indicates the individual is holding down and compacting the energy flow and feelings to avoid personal interaction. For example, a pendulum reading of V5 at chakra 3A indicates that the person is focusing his personal connection toward the vertical and spirituality, and avoiding a personal relationship with another human being. He defines who he is in the universe from the point of view of a spiritual belief and cuts out the aspect of being connected to another human being. Whereas a pendulum reading of H5 for the same chakra would indicate that the person is not connecting to anyone, not on the spiritual level, not on the human level. This would lead to personal isolation. This particular motion could go into a still chakra (S) from underuse and compaction. Strong physical psychodynamic work is needed in such a case.

A chakra may be open 20% of the time or 80% of the time. This can be "picked up" by the sensitively trained therapist. This, of course, takes practice with verification.

Chakras go through different phases as they change from closed to open through the intensive work in therapy. The process of changing one's belief system redirects chakra movement. A chakra that is continually closed at a large diameter (CC^) will sometimes, over a period of time, decrease its diameter, turn around and then increase its diameter in the harmonious direction until it becomes C6. Or, more often a CC6 chakra, say in the heart or solar plexus, may, within as little as five minutes of deep crying, turn around to C6. This type of change will not hold long, but, as the person continues his work over a long period of time, the chakra tends to stay "open" longer each time it is opened. This increases its overall percentage time of harmonious functioning, and the person will feel himself being happy for longer periods of time.

I have found that when a chronically closed chakra opens during a therapy session, it is common that another chakra that is usually open will close briefly in compensation. The personality is not able to tolerate the new "opened" state without some degree of imagined "protection" in the beginning.
