New Trends in Business Decision Making
(using rod or pendulum)

To foresee - means nothing, but to see
presence and future distinctly in their motion.

Antonio Gramshi


Every self-dependent trader has certainly asked oneself: How could I find the information about the rank range in good time? Is it possible to foresee the future? Fabulous, as it might sound, but we are capable of this, too. The question is, how deeply you can feel it. Our ancestors had the gift of prophecy, they could transfer thoughts and charm. For the governers of the country these people were very dangerous. It was an ancient truth - "common people are easier to rule". Not long ago extraordinary people were considered "intellectual deviants" and were watched after. Small wonder we have no special school subjects teaching us how to obtain all these supernatural powers. But these knowledge are still alive in folk-memory. We can read about new "Neo schools", where children are taught to use their right-brain, to expand great powers of their intuition and their gift of prophecy, e.g. there has been a program devoted to such a school on TV recently; it was devoted to the girls, who read books totaly blindfold.

All in all, we have a lot of hidden gifts, but we don't pay due attention to their development. Let us consider the mechanism of pendulum work. This phenomenon used to have a lot of interpretations. Some people considered that rod had some enchanting nature, the others thought that spiritualists' had contact with spirits. But now we know, that there is conciousness and subconsciousness. Actually, we can realize only a small part of the information we receive. This is a kind of defence reaction, it guards us from the "information explosion", which might be injurious to our health and mind. Still, the lion's share of all the information we receive is left undecoded, stored somewhere in our subconsciousness. Only sometimes our subliminal lets us hear from it, but only indirectly - we might see a strange dream, or feel something instinctively. But our consciousness doesn't let us believe in it. "Consciousness, only consciousness and let us leave that subliminal world alone," - swears it, and wins again. The problem is that many things in our lives go by contraries and you know this. But then we see that our choice proved negative and begin recalling - "Eureka, a strange intuitive feeling! Why didn't I pay attention to it?" And so on, and so on....

Our sharp-witted ancestors had long ago noted that this subconscious data could be disclose and revealed even without using our consciousness. It is the easiest level. There also exists a more complicated level of decoding - here you are to realize the information you recieve. But let us turn to the easier one. Here we are to disclose the data through ideomotion (unconsciuos muscle control). Try to hold such an experiment: take a long thread and fasten one of its ends to a weight (e.g. a screw-nut), put the other end into your fingers and hold it hanging at some distance from the floor (of course, you should be standing). And now, the name of the game: mentally relax, look at the weight. I f the weight doesn't move you are near to complete relaxation. Now concentrate on the thought that the weight moves left - right, left - right. For some time you are to mentally concentrate on the thought that the weight moves independantly left - right. The brain impulses the hand's motor neurons and it imperceptibly starts to move the pendulum. In some time you'll see that the pendulum is really moving left - right. This is what we call ideomotion muscle control. This way our subconsciousness is able to control the movements of the pendulum, similarly to the G-frame. You should ask a "yes-no" question. If the pendulum moves left - then "yes", if right - then "no".

You can also use a shorter pendulum, when you are sitting at the table. Just put your elbow on the table and look: if your pendulum moves "from You - to You", it means "yes"; if it moves "left-right" - "no".

The pendulum might also move circle-wise: clockwise - "yes", contraclockwise - "no". The professionals in this very field might also pass pendulum over a ruler and calculate the pressure. There are also some tables devided into sectors including letters, through them we might read some written messages (e.g. names). Using a map you might find some required location. Here you are to pass the pendulum over the latitude and longitude. The place where the pendulum started to move is the place you are seeking for. the main idea is to concentrate on the question (to mediumise oneself).

But can it be useful in practice? Yes, sure. A person (trader) concentrates on the question: "Will the quotation of Euro to the Dollar advance today?", and intently looks at the pendulum. If there follows conventional sign "from You - to You", it means "yes".

But You have to remember that pendulum is a delicate and sensitive tool, and therefore you might not get the result immediately, without any training. You should start from the minor - working out automaticity in your movements and inner silence. Only continual exercise and "disinterestedness in the result" will allow you to get precise information. You can compare it with learning how to play the guitar. First you are to learn the correct posture and instrument position, then to work with your left hand (chords), then with the right one (tickling the strings and running over them). Gradual training, hard work, and only now a guitarist is ready to play a song. Then one more song, and the other one, and people say that he can play the guitar. I want you to pay attention to the fact that the fingers are playing automatically.

The sequence of studying pendulum work is almost the same. First - position, then - inner silence, next - conventional signs: "yes", "no", "don't know". And only after this spadework you are ready to start practicing your "questions and answers". First easy questions, which you are ready to check just now, then more comlicated, then some serious of qualifying questions (e.g. Will the quotation gain 100 or only 50 points? or Will the minimum of the cost be today or tomorrow? or Which currency twain will come up to the limit tomorrow?). Theoretically, having developed no mean abilities, you can with great delicacy graph price development for the next month or even year. Work hard and you'll get what you want!
