the only dowsing rods I've ever seen get used were homemade ones, and they were being used to find the underground waterline for a septic tank that was buried over 30 years ago. We dug where the rods crossed and hit a huge PVC drainage pipe about 2 feet down. We found the waterline we were looking for, but not the section we wanted (it had busted somewhere along the line, and sewage water was leaking out). Once we knew for a fact where the drainpipe was, we were able to deduce the general location of where the leak could be coming from. It took us roughly 45 minutes to find the section we were looking for. Now in conclusion, I've come to the realization that either A: There is something to water-source finding using a dowsing rods or B: Flukes like I described above happen so often as to keep the concept that they work alive.

[@Wellactually123]

It's sort of like my uncle. Everyone calls him Lucky because he always tells us about all the money he wins gambling. But what he doesn't go around telling everyone, is how often he loses. No one wants to tell the story about the time they walked around with magic sticks in their back yard and didn't find anything, even though that story is much more common.

[@SouthernRebels94]

The one thing is that plumbers uses them to find water pipes, gas lines and so on so I believe they do work for some things but no so good with everything else, since professionals plumbers wouldn't be required to have them if they didn't work when it comes to locating water or gas

[@SampoSaarela]

I think there might be something else to this. On the face value I absolutely do not believe in finding water with the rods and I think anyone believing something so silly must be out of their minds. But, I have heard the stories that they do work from quite a lot of sources that I would value at least somewhat credible. So, is it only statistics that they work sometimes and people just forget all the times they don't. Could be? But from the stories they seem to work way too well for that being the case. So I have tried to deduct what is the reason they could work, and I think I have some kind of an answer. It could be either people pranking others or it could be people tapping into their subconscious with the rods. What the ....? So for both the idea is that the person using the rods already knows where the water line is. Either they have solid knowledge or they can read the clues. Usually the lines go from point A to B, usually they make 90°, they usually don't go through solid rocks, they usually don't go under very old trees, etc etc. So either the rod user already knows it and just plays a prank on the onlookers, or they don't know that they know but use the rods to kind of "tap into their subconscious".

[@eightbittemplar7394]

It's probably worth noting, also, that there's no reason to believe that whatever supernatural force is supposedly affecting the rods would necessarily be able or willing to give reliable answers to these questions in the first place. For all this guy knows, ghostly pranksters are the ones answering these questions, and only in whatever way they think would be funniest.

[@connorpusey5912]

More like demonic deception rather than ghosts wanting to play tricks

[@physical_insanity]

If I had to be psycho-analytical, the rods would probably be receptive to one's unconscious/subconscious impulses and would react accordingly, sort of similar to how tarot cards divine the future through unconscious action. Naturally, it's easier to just manipulate them and be a fraud, but doing it correctly, the only thing affecting them would be like your own subconscious. I'm not too well-versed in what dowsing rods are meant to do, but I know they've been used to find underground stockpiles of resources.

[@Deontjie]

Water can have a magnetizing effect. But it can also be that there are water everywhere underground.

Setting up a sacred space for clean, ethical and pure honest channeling is vital! I wouldn’t advise anyone to pick up rods and randomly start to ask questions without knowing what they’re doing or who exactly they think they are talking too! There are important steps in creating a safe sacred space and to know specifically who you’re channeling. It works great if you know what you’re doing and not just talking to Tom, dick and Harry from across the galaxy who is not of the highest frequency of light. 😅

Which is why the sacrifice is still active today and can cleanse your sin because the blood of Jesus never died. It's why sin can be cleansed actively today. Blood of Jesus in a fountain in heaven. Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Zechariah 13:1 is clearly talking about a sacrifice provided by God.

They work surprisingly well for locating underground utilities

[@Wellactually123]

Underground streams are an extremely rare thing. Most groundwater is stored in aquifers underground. They are just places where there is hard clay or rock where the water can not seep any further down, and the water stays trapped in the loose sand and gravel above it. Then, a lot of dirt above that is the ground you stand on. These aquifers are usually the size of lakes, so basically, anywhere you dig on your property, you'll find water. But convincing people their water is in an undergound stream and only some magic sticks can find it is a pretty good way to make money off of ignorant people! Not very ethical though.

As you are on the topic, since dousing is clearly not divination because it depends on unconscious movements, is it permissible for a Christian to use dousing for introspection. For instance, say I lose an item, but what really happened is I forgot where I put it, dousing may be able to used to find the object's location which is known subconsciously.

HIGHLY recommend: If anyone wants to see renowned dowsers get disproven with large-scale Mythbusters-like experiments… I finally found the best video: “James Randi in Australia” is the title. Channel: Philip Buarque

[@StephenMelody]

Unfortunately, the James Randi experiment carried out in Australia had a serious design flaw that made the results totally invalid. Water had been run through each of the underground pipes before being shut off from the water supply. Then one of the 10 pipes was allowed water to flow through it and dowsers were asked to ID this pipe. The dowsers didn't stand a chance because they would pick up the presence of the residual water in the other 9 pipes. Also, the whole concept of the experiment was invalid. If you want to test if a dowser can find an underground stream, them you need to let them find the water in its natural state, which is flowing through cracks in rocks deep underground not through plastic pipes just under the surface. Extrapolating the results from this experiment to the real life field situation is totally unscientific. To the best of my knowledge, no scientific experiment has ever been conducted to determine if dowsers can find underground water. All the experiments conducted were based on the model of an underground stream, not on a real stream. The people who conduct these experiments have become the laughing stock of the scientific community because they claim their experiments are scientific and that their results are valid. Maybe one day someone will allow dowers to demonstrate what they are used to doing in the field and we will then know the truth. ,

[@Wellactually123]

Dowsers are like flat earthers. They learn a few scientific words even if they don't know what they mean, and use them to describe something science has long ago debunked, as if no one has ever actually studied it before. Something else they have in common, you can't use science, common sense, or reason, to convince them otherwise.

Who said to KEEP AWAY from them exactly?? The people that rewrote the bible??? Make it make sense. Didn't christ who you call jesus do divination, raising the dead and using herbs and such??? Wasn't he killed for doing witchcraft and was called a warlock?? Or did you know that? Didn't Solomon have plenty of copper surrounding his temple because copper draws beautiful energy and heals of sickness, hence will attract higher frequencies. Gotta do your OWN research because oracles be on good or bad intentions so its the heart of the person.. Much Love.

I thought it worked from the electrical current generated by flowing water, mostly because I've used them to find where a waterpipe is under the ground.

[@meganparrish807]

Hm, ya know, a proper experiment with these things is to have a robot hold the dowsing rods and roll around on a flat surface with water pipes below. A robot doesn’t have unconscious movement so if the rods cross every time it's above a water pipe then perhaps discussion can be opened on the subject of how effective the rods are. Unless someone already did that experiment, in which case this comment is moot. I've never seen anyone try it with a robot though.

Before even thinking about rods and getting the proper innerstanding of why others are confident in using them, start with listening to your inner self and learn to shed off who you think you are according to what the WORLD taught you so that you can become a more higher and newer TRUE version of yourself. Then you will know what tools and things work for you to seek guidance. Listen NOT to foolish people who do not have innerstanding about mysteries..Everyone is not called, many called but not everyone and obviously, not the guy in this video. He was not given the spirit of leadership to the heavens and have no wisdom just jokes. The blind leading other blind people. Follow your divine guides who are your ancestors, those who passed on and are with the high power. If you read the bible, do NOT use RELIGION because you will fail. Use the bible as a tool, blueprint, a map if you will. The Exodus is real and let noone tell you different. Contact me if you want to know more, wholeheartedly that is. Much Love

[@susiesongling]

What he does with the rods is not correct....he would do better to ask to be shown his reaction for yes and no. After that one can refine the reaction. For example when I am locating water in a pipe or free flowing underground I have trained my rod to indicate the reaction when the front of my shoe starts to pass over directly above. 98% of people can dowse, a few become professionals, a few are not open enough to give it a go or make a joke of it. This doesn't impress your audience. You need to study the influence of magnetite on the cerebellum, this causing minute muscular movements in reaction to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. Migrating birds use their magnetise for navigation. Do some more research and then have a lesson with a professional for an informed critique.

[@AaronBrockMountainman]

The definitely do work. Not for whatever nonsense such as asking them questions or finding treasure. That is absolutely laughable that someone would entertain such absurd ideas. But in finding water, they definitely can lead you to underground water sources even above ground sources. I used them to mark an entire irrigation system at a 120 unit apartment complex with multiple buildings where because of new city codes, the water lines for the buildings needed to be replaced. Well the irrigation system was getting broken multiple times daily because of the digging. And no one knew where the irrigation pipes were I tried using them one day. Walked along where we were going to dig and marked wherever they found something. Tney were 100% right. I did it every morning for the next 3 weeks. Never broke anymore irrigation pipes after that. After the first week. They people that said it didn't work, i was wasting time, I'm trying to get out of digging for 10 or 15min every morning, or i was just lucky i guessed exactly where the pipes were. The next week they were like hey get out your witching sticks and mark this off so we can get to work. Still not believing they worked but they knew i was able accurately mark out where the irrigation lines were. Once there was nothing there so i dug an extra 2 1/2 feet to see why it was saying there was water there. Ended up finding an old main water line. So they were always right. I rode in a car blind folded to where i could only look down so i could watch them. Everytime we crossed a main water line i told them. They can verify because the county puts blue reflectors on the sides of the road wherever they cross a street. Again i was able to say theres one here Everytime we crossed them. I don't know how they work, but they work. I don't 100% know how gravity works but it seems to still work without me knowing how same as the dousing rods. Same as most people here don't know oxygen is magnetic. And water isn't wet. So there are many things going on in this world we don't understand but they still go on anyway.

Scientifically speaking, a whole foods plant based vegan diet will not 'cure' cancer, but it will slow it down and maybe prevent terminal consequences from cancer. It certainly will not make the cancer worse as will the standard american diet (sad). Also, fasting is another good preventative for cancer. These things should be done under the direction of health professionals, unfortunately most doctors in the US know jack and squat about clinical nutrition research. It is by His wisdom that the most merciful diet is the healthiest diet. May the Lord bless you with wisdom and mercy today.

I don't understand what's the point of that guy's video. Even if his rods somehow happened to channel answers from a spirit, why should anyone trust those answers?

There’s no point in even trying to explain the truth to you because your mind is caught in a trap and you’re not searching for the escape hatch. I know this because I grew up in the same trap but my intuition led me to the escape hatch and broke the chains that kept it closed and me a prisoner. My grandfathers both owned farms and I spent a great deal of time on those farms out in nature. I also spent an enormous amount of time in the mountains. They used forked tree branches to find water sources on their farms so they knew where to dig ponds for the cows. One raised beef cattle and the other dairy cows. IT WORKED EVERY TIME. Today’s christianity is not the original that dates back thousands of years ago to Ireland and even long before that many thousands of years ago. They worked with nature and their own divinity which is what makes dowsing rods and pendulums function. My dad was a modernized christian but he still knew some of the old ways. When a family friend got pregnant with her first child, my dad tied a string to a pencil and held it over her belly to determine the gender. It indicated a boy and it was correct. This was back before sonograms. When she became pregnant with baby #2, it once again indicated a male and it was correct. He did it when I became pregnant and both times the answer was correct. When you deny the divine super conscious Energy within you, you deny “God”. It’s truly horrific what the v.a.t.i.c.a.n. families have done to this world. We used to have a free energy grid across the planet. People were spiritually in tune and aware. We were free and knew the Power within us. When they externalized “God”, they did a massively destructive evil thing to humanity. The evidence is overwhelmingly all around us. I feel so sorry for those who are still lost and trapped in layers of lies that are keeping us all from paradise. I’m praying for the hundredth monkey effect to pick up speed and sweep this planet clean of all ignorance so we can get back to heaven on earth.🙏🏼
