The deadly potential of dowsing

[Pixel42]

Actually, the difference between a good pianist and a really good pianist is that the really good one will conciously know where to put each of his fingers. Playing by memory is all very well, but the slightest mistake or distraction will screw you up and usually leave you unable to pick straight up where you stopped. The mark of a professional musician is that they will know exactly where their hands are, what they are doing and what they are going to do next at all times.

I was actually thinking of a pianist sight-reading a piece of music, rather than playing it from memory. I find it hard to believe that s(he) has time to consciously process the visual input and decide where to put each finger. A simultaneous translator is another example of the sort of thing I'm thinking of. Driving down an unfamiliar road and thinking about something else entirely whilst your hands and feet automatically turn the wheel/brake and accelerate is another, more mundane, example of the way your brain can directly control your muscles without the participation of your conscious mind.

Well I touch type, and the less I think about where the letters are the faster I can type.

Me too. If I want to type a letter I tell my fingers 'go type letter e'. The fingers then work out where to move themselves in order to type the letters. I do not know where the letters are on a keyboard, that is the job of my fingers.

I could add something about swordfighting, but really, I've gone on for enough about it in various threads. Suffice to say that it's the same.

Byzantine Magpie, To try and answer your questions. Don't think rods fork stick etc will work remotely. This dowsing stuff is a third eye sense that allows one to connect to all knowledge. People on my level just manage to get a shadow of insight. If you want a answer then it is said "one must ask the question" Main stream religion has veered people away from the real truth of our inner sleeping spirit and our constant reincarnation for those who are lucky enough to have a spirit (need one to dowse and join the Masons) Now the rest will call me a nut and yell prove it. I can't teach a monkey to type write. One thing I would do is get out of satanic Canberra.

"Satanic Canberra"????

"Satanic Canberra"????

Well has I have said before, magical thinking begets magical thinking begets.............

[arthwollipot]

"Satanic Canberra"????

Yes, I noticed that as well. As a lifetime resident of Canberra, I'm a little confused.

More information, please, Bob. What have I missed in Canberra in the last thirty eight years?

Have a look at Parliament house from the air goat head, cap stone in place it got the lot. Burial mound for the Abbo's. Google it and have a look.

Hello... I worked at Parliament House for quite some time. Have you ever been inside it? Have you ever been inside the non-public areas? I have. I can assure you that there's no satanic symbolism anywhere in Parliament House. And yes, I have studied satanic symbolism and know what the fifth point of the pentagram represents. Do you?

What's more, I am offended by your reference to "Abbo's" and not just because of the spurious apostrophe. Do that one more time and I'll report you for racist language.

Anything else suggest to you that Canberra is satanic?

I've read this several times and simply cannot figure out what is being said. Well, maybe the problem is that I don't speak Australian.

Much as I'm enjoying the Dowsing back-and-forth...

BBC News: GP 'dowsed for homeopathic remedy' (Jan 15, 2003)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2662879.stm

She eventually got a three month ban:

Just three months?! And she is spouting crap like "geopathic stress patterns beneath her home may be causing her daughter's condition"?

You just know that this person is still promoting woo in her practice, but being a bit more careful about tipping her hand again.

So we're monkeys if we do not agree with you. I take offense I'm a great ape.

Whats wrong with Abbo's, it's short for native born Australian,to have come from that land.Five generations and you are Aborigine or Abbo for short and by the way don't threaten me, it's not a good thing to do. Did you work in the secret tunnels to Deacon house or just the toilet block? For the others the big house is full of satanic symbolism research it your selves and find out who is right. PS. My grand kids are Abbo.

 

[whatthebutlersaw]

You do realize, don't you, that claiming relations in no way stops you from being racist, right?

From being related to person of X origin does not follow not displaying racist behaviour towards people of X origin. It is not a "get out of jail free" card for behaving badly.

I (being vaguely "Swedish" myself) have lebanese, jewish and romani family members, and yet whether I am racist or not is decided from how I behave towards and talk about lebanese, jewish or romani (or other) people - not from how geographically diverse my family tree is. If that word is offensive, it is offensive whether you are related to bigfoot, Alma Cogan and Great A'Tuin or not.

Arthwollipot, if you don't report him I will.

 

[EHocking]

The word is offensive. It has always been offensive and it has always been used in an offensive manner. It is the equivalent of using the N-word when referring to African Americans.

It is offensive

It has always been offensive

It will always be offensive no matter how many people you claim to be related to.

I'm with arthwollipot. I'll report you if you use it again as well.

 

[Cuddles]

No, not a nut, misleading yourself, yes, nut no.

No, I'm with Old Bob here. He's a nut.

And yes, I have studied satanic symbolism and know what the fifth point of the pentagram represents. Do you?

Sure. It represents "Hey, you know what? These squares are really boring. Why don't we stick an extra point on to make our club house look a bit cooler?".

I'm afraid it's down the tubes for you, then...straight to Hell without even a chance for Limbo or Purgatory.

I believe the word is pronounced "strine."
