(My head had been bothering me today and yesterday. The effect was something like an allergy or cold, although the pendulum told me it was neither. The condition was very annoying.)

It is not advantageous for you to work with the pendulum over a half-hour per day. A daily routine involving a half-hour’s work with the pendulum will do you good.

(Actually, I have been painting for the last two weeks, following my final recovery from my illness of late March and early April. This apparently had not been sufficient to satisfy the literal-minded personal subconscious, hence my coldlike symptoms. I have also been investigating with the pendulum to some extent, and can say that usually the periods did not last more than half an hour a day.

You have indeed been trying too hard with the pendulum, which sets up its own kind of resistance. At your present stage of development with the pendulum you get a reaction that could be compared to a closed circuit, where the energy is directed into the past, into the personal subconscious too abruptly, and too intensified, and is not yet allowed the release of discovering full causes, which would then release not only that energy, but the energy that has in the past gone into the formation of various physical ills.
