Dear fledling,
Thank you for the post about Dr Emoto's photos. I tis very interesting.
Actually I have such a photo on my desk! It was offered to me by one of my pupils and I find it very inspiring.
"Mind" over "Matter"!! As though they were different!
Don't get discouraged with the pendulum, it took me a few days. I didn't read anything about pendulums, just followed some basic advice.
I believe in practice makes perfect!
Also I forgot to say : you can test stuff in plastic jars, glass jars, covered by wrap film BUT it doesn't work for me or my husband if they are wrapped in waxed paper like they use at the butcher's. For example Japanese rice bags.
At the beginning I thought I would not be able to test before actually eating a tiny piece. This is not true. Just putting my hand on top of the thing is enough, but you have to be careful that the elbow of the other hand, that holds the pendulum, in on the table. Which is why I don't test in shops because I find it difficult to stick my elbow in a convenient place.
Apart from the problem of "Damned! Unmasked!"
If I read you well, you are suggesting that I bless my food when obliged to eat out!
Not a bad idea and I am going to try it out next Tuesday, when I HAVE to attend a dinner party. The lady is warned not to put
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) but I'd be very surprised if there was none in my plate.
Of course testing it with a pendulum is not OK and would be quite insulting.
For that matter blessing the food aloud is just as insulting here, because the food has already been blessed by the loving hand of the host who cooked it. Also any type of public blessing puts the blesser in the position of wanting to take supremacy over the other guests, worse, implying that he was even superior to the host!!
(This wouldn't apply if I were the Dalai Lama or the Pope, of course).
Last year a guest from the USA did that and everybody nearly puked in their plate just from the shock!
The insult was too much!
AND in a multi-religious society it can be seen as a nasty sneaky way to prozelyte. Some under currents of uneasiness will linger, even if the blessing is absolutely neutral, the person who blesses is known to belong to such and such group.
Not a very nice way to start a meal which has to lead to pleasant debate.
I'll do it in the secret of my heart. No need to practise at home first, because I do this while I cook.
Never thought of doing it on other people's food offerings though.
Good luck and enjoy your food! :) :) :) :)
