And literally saying "OK STOP" after each question should make the pendulum stop swinging and get back to the middle to it's default location.
what i usually do between questions, is when i get an answer i sort of 'knock' the pendulum against a surface by dropping it until it lightly touches. that brings it dead centre and stops it from swinging. i also say thank you when i do this as a way of thanking it for giving me the right answer. it's a little bit kinder to the work than giving commands making orders and demands all the time, plus it's good training in gratitude for the little things, which i'm sure will come in useful when i get around to conjuring

And you can almost tell when it's your subconscious or some other force playing against the swings as it does start to move very differently.
there have been times when i've done extended pendulum working where i'd go into some very heavy trances. i think the more you do the more you get in tune with the way it works and there is something about doing the work that connects the mind to - i don't know, to something outside of the self.
Frater EOE wrote:I did an experiment once in my early teens, where I created a stand out of a couple of metal coat hangers and hung the pendulum off it (so that it could stand freely by itself) - I then did a summoning and while holding the metal legs of the makeshift stand I proceeded to ask questions to the pendulum, low and behold it did swing. As soon as I physically let go of the legs, the pendulum stopped swinging and would refuse to budge no matter what I asked - so I took that as a sign that I still needed to be connected somehow to the pendulum for the energy to flow through (kind of like a circuit) - but in reality the way the pendulum usually swings is from the tiny muscle micro movements our hands are making subconsciously when we ask questions anyway. It was an interesting experience and so I'm guessing at times it very well could be Arzel or your M.M. coming through...
i think you're right about the bioelectric current having to be connected to it. it might be that the vril is tuning the pendulum in a precise way according to the current that passes through the body. but that's only a guess. who really knows what is going on? pendulum work really is a mystery
