SEE WHAT YOU LOOK AT

BY MARTY LUCAS

          “See what you look at” is a quote from Dr. Dan Scow.  Dr. Scow was a brilliant veterinarian and soil scientist.  He was also one of those teachers that believed if you weren’t smart enough to ask the right question, he wouldn’t tell you until you did.

          His point was simple.  Most of the things we need to know are right in front of us, but until we ask the right question, they stay hidden.  However, to ask that question we must be willing to step into the unknown and change our perspective.

           There is no better tool for that than dowsing.  We can get an answer to any question, no matter how silly, or illogical, or even forbidden.  The answers are easy.  But asking the right question in the right way is the challenge. A challenge we all endure.  Then overcome when you finally allow yourself the freedom to start asking more questions, then you start to see just how interesting our world is.  The ‘rules’ and ‘natural laws’ we were taught in school are neither universal, nor mandatory.

Don’t believe me?  Then let me open a couple of doors for you.

           Dr. Ellen Kamhi tells us that EVERY wives’ tale she has investigated turned out to be true.  When you consider what she means by that, it means our ancestors were very smart and very practical people.  They did things because by doing them their lives were made easier.

We may call it superstition, but by doing so, all we are doing is proving our own ignorance.

           For instance, mainstream science doesn’t have an accepted reason for why dowsing works, so they discount it as nonsense.  But our ancestors certainly believed in it.  Here is just a single example.

           Every farmstead across the Midwest needed a well.  Without a well, they couldn’t cook, clean or keep livestock.  So, they dowsed for where to dig their well. Digging a well is a major endeavor.  Not only is there the digging, but there is also the getting the soil out of the hole and shoring up the sides of the hole (usually done with rocks). So, for the farmer looking to dig, he must first get all his other work done, so he can spend the several days needed for digging.  He must find, gather, and carry the rocks he will need to shore up the sides of the hole as he digs. Furthermore, after just a few feet, he needs help lifting the soil out of the hole and eventually lifting him up as well.

           So just imagine after digging all day in a deep dark hole, then finding the energy to climb up the rope to get out…. Then rest up, do the daily chores and get ready for the next day.  Not forgeting, before you leave the hole at night, you will need to build the rock walls to keep it from caving in.

           IF dowsing for a well site was just chance, then throughout the Midwest, you would expect to find ‘dry holes’ from unsuccessful wells.  You would expect to see the shoring they did on the walls, and those holes would likely be at least 15’ deep.

You don’t see that.  Anywhere.

           That is because, dowsing for water works.  It doesn’t make any difference if the scientists believe it, because we have proof on nearly every farm from New York to Nebraska.

That is what I mean by SEEING what you look at.  Here is another example.

           Nicola Tesla invented the bifilar antenna.  That is the antenna used in radionic instruments.  The concept is to take the signal, bend it back upon itself so that it cancels the electric and magnetic components of the signal, it cancels all the interference. We see the same bifilar design in a labyrinth.  The path takes the person around and doubles back and around again.  Just walking a labyrinth can clear your mind and calm your nerves. The point is you are doing the same thing!  You are cancelling the energies that are not harmonious.  

But wait it gets better….

           In biodynamic farming, they make their preparations, then stir them in specific ways…. First clockwise for so many seconds then counterclockwise, the clockwise…. They do this for hours.  The very best biodynamic farmers keep a specific intent in mind as they stir. So, not only are they AGAIN, cancelling the discordant energies, by stirring back and forth they also opening up the liquid crystalline structure of the water to accept new patterns.

           When you SEE what is happening, then you can also see how perhaps you can improve your next labyrinth, or your next preparation.  

One last example for this paper.

           In homeopathy the final step in clocking the new patterns into the liquid is succussing.  In most cases, by shaking the preparation, or in some cases tapping the container on the side. Each and every one of us has made a homeopathic preparation.  Maybe you just didn’t know it.  At some time, you were gathered around a table, and someone offered a toast, then you all clinked your glasses together. In effect, you created an intent, (a thought pattern) then you succussed it into the drink. Creating a thought pattern, then thumping the container ingrains that pattern into the liquid crystalline structure of the water.

           So, what is happening when you are at a heavy metal concert?  Is there an energetic message being presented?  Yes, through the lyrics.  Is it being succussed?  Yes, through the bass…...  Whether that is a pattern you want impressed into the liquids in your body or not, is up to you. But when you SEE what is happening, then you can decide how to move forward.

So, many of the things we seek are hidden right in plain sight…….

QUESTION TO ASK WHEN YOU ARE STUCK

BY SANDI ISGRO

Much like the advice to turn it off and back on again sometimes the simplest answer is the solution. It's always a good habit to keep the fundamentals in mind so your dowsing can be consistent.

Fundamental Dowsing: Do I Need to....?

1. Do I need to: Ground? or Center?

• Breath? Touch the Ground? or Meditate?

2. Do I need to Clear for Interference to my Dowsing?

3. Use Either Your Protocol or

follow the "May I, Can I, Should I" Protocol below:

• "May I Dowse For.....?"

• "Can I Dowse For This.....?"

• "Should I Dowse for This.....?"

Once you are consistent with the fundamentals the margin for error is significantly diminished. Error however is not gone. Bellow are some helpful questions to hone in on the WHY your dowsing may be inconclusive.

Question to ask to find the RIGHT question:

1. Write your question down. This avoids unclear questions when you read what you have written down. Unclear questions stand out like a sore thumb.

2. If you are getting conflicting answers to the same question, you can either rephrase the question or go back to the basics. Going back to the basics acts like your reset button.

3. Don Taylor suggests that you dowse each word in your question to see if it is the RIGHT word.

• Would there be a better word to use?

• Is there a word missing in the question?

• Is there another question I should ask?

STOP CHASING SYMPTOMS FIX YOUR ROOT CAUSE!

By Aaron Singleton

           To resolve the root cause of a complaint, illness or condition that is adversely affecting your health requires determining why, how and when the pathogen, trauma or energy that took you out of homeostasis/balance entered your body. We refer to this as an original trigger or core imbalance that did not allow for normal restoration of homeostasis. Since 1993, our Singleton Medical Intuitive Root Cause Model has evolved into an entire framework and healing process to restore health in many thousand of clients.

I use our Energy of Life ® (EOL) Integrative Healing process to initiate a fascinating journey through unlimited possibilities for resolving the root cause of your complaint, illness or condition, no matter how minor or severe.

Within my practice, I have found headaches or migraines originating from the tailbone or sacrum, back neck and head injuries, emotions, toxins, pathogens and more. Rheumatoid arthritis may come from joint inflammation, but what is the cause of the inflammation? Antibiotics, antidepressants and anesthesia may still be in your body or brain 40 years after you were treated.

Physical or emotional trauma and shock may affect you in untold ways. Bacteria Viruses and candida may be in your brain, thyroid, sinuses, intestines, bladder, ovaries, uterus, vaginal lining, prostate, testicles, etc. If you can dowse the what, when, and how questions, you may be able to resolve it yourself.

Some time ago I met a client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis who was on anti-inflammatory medications. When I evaluated her condition, I found misalignment of both first ribs, both elbows and wrists, and the carpal bones in her hands. The stress and compression in the misaligned joints were the cause of her pain and inflammation. After treatment, her pain was immediately gone and she could open jars and turn door knobs with ease. Three years ago, I evaluated a client in her 60s who could not read for more than 10 minutes without experiencing terrible eye fatigue. Her root cause turned out to be sadness stuck in her optic nerve from age 6. She reported that later in the evening, following her session with me, her eye fatigue was completely gone. Since then, she is able to read for hours at a time.

Many times, people will accept their pain or condition as part of "just getting old." I believe there is a root cause for everything, but you have to be willing to think and look outside the box. A medical diagnosis is not the root cause of your situation or condition. The medical model simply gives the cluster of symptoms a name. In some cases, your root cause may be genetic, so let's go into your gene pool and repair it. The bullying, physical, emotional or sexual abuse you experience as a child or adult may be too painful to look at, so let's bypass the brain and simply remove it from your thought field, aura, bioplasmic field, torus field, or chakras.

Chasing symptoms with medications and sometimes unnecessary surgeries or medical procedures just leads to more of the same. Finding and resolving your root cause is the most important and empowering journey you can do for yourself. 

If you dowse it, you can find it.

If you dowse it, you can fix it.

WHAT IS A DOWSER?

BY THE ASD BOARD OF TRUSTEES

When you tell someone you are a dowser, what is their response?

Surprise? 

Maybe… or

“You mean you find water with a stick?"

Maybe they give you a blank stare as if you just told them that you're from a different planet! 

It depends. 

But in certain circles of esoterics, you're likely talking to someone who's been dowsing for years, but didn't know that what they were doing was, in fact, dowsing!

This is how we The American Society of Dowsers (ASD) identify who is and who is not already a Dowser.

When working our vendor booth at events like the Natural Living Expo, one of the first questions we ask curious shoppers is, 

"Do you dowse?" 

They'll often look around sheepishly and say, "No". We then might ask them why they felt compelled to stop by our booth. Was it just chance, or did they feel somehow drawn to it?

This tends to pique their curiosity.

We then might ask if they have ever felt that they should call someone, and immediately that person calls them? This also could be you need to see someone and they show up? Because so many of us have experienced that very thing, you are curious about the question and its relevance to dowsing. You are unknowingly using the “dowsing mind “ to send a message. We then ask them if they know how to use a pendulum, to which they will nod their heads and say that they've been using a pendulum for many years, or that they've been trained on how to use muscle testing, or that their grandfather once taught them how to use a wooden stick to find water. With a big smile then you can tell them, "Then you're a Dowser, and by the way, welcome home!"

Over ASD's 66 years of existence, we have devoted our time to developing ways to teach people how to use the tools of our trade to seek what cannot be discerned with the naked eye or our other four senses alone. We teach people to refine their questions to get more accurate responses. We teach proven techniques that work, while being open to new information and practices.  While some have gone as far as to say that they have found THE way or the BEST way to dowse, as an inclusive society of water witchers, doodlebuggers, geomancers, practitioners, engineers, and esoteric investigators, we have often discovered that the BEST way to be a dowser is a personal journey of discovery where YOUR way is generally best, no matter what anyone else says.

In our dowsing school curriculum, we'll show you what generally works for most people. However, no matter how you ultimately learn to dowse, the RESULTS are far more important than the technique. If what you are doing is getting you accurate results, then who cares how you arrived at your conclusion? Most importantly, you are supported on your journey, you have a place, and a voice here with the American Society of Dowsers. If you've never dowsed before or you've been dowsing for decades, if you decide to attend one of our classes, we guarantee you'll learn something that will help you on your journey to find your personal BEST way to dowse!

Dowsing and the Energies of Labyrinths

and a Call for Volunteers for Worldwide Labyrinth Day 

-LeeAnn Potter

Most people know what a labyrinth is, but not as many know about the Energies associated with a labyrinth. It has been found by Energy workers over a hundred years ago, that all sacred sites in England that have Labyrinths have ley lines going through them. Ley lines are now known to circle the planet and labyrinths in various parts of the world have, through dowsing, been found to have ley lines going through them. Therefore, it is surmised labyrinths can use these pathways for both transferring energy, connecting to Source Energy, and for communicating with one another. 

But what about the energies of the labyrinth itself? 

Each labyrinth has its own unique energy signature. The signature is a function of the labyrinth design – the number of circuits, presence of lunettes, its size, any extra design feature like Runes, the path widths of the labyrinth, the placement of turns in the walkway path of the labyrinth, and the intent behind its creation. The largest determining factor is the Energies inherent in the location and placement of the labyrinth.

So how is dowsing useful when working with labyrinths?

Dowsing can be used for determining the proper placement of a labyrinth on the property. The proper placement of a labyrinth will help to ensure its connectivity to the Earth’s ley lines. It will also help to draw water to the labyrinth. It can call a water dome up from beneath the labyrinth (as used in Africa by former ASD members searching for potable water). 

Dowsing can be used to help determine the location of the ley lines that the labyrinth would connect to, which will make it easier to connect to the broader network.

Dowsing can be used to help determine if the design of the labyrinth needs to be modified in some way to help facilitate the intended purpose of the labyrinth. Dowsing can also determine if the design is optimal for the location and purpose, and to determine its geometry with respect to other nearby labyrinths. Purposes of labyrinths include health and wellbeing, connecting to your highest source, bringing joy and peace to your conscious mind, and sending your prayers for peace and wellbeing out across the ley lines throughout the world

When human beings walk to the center of a labyrinth and join the Universal Source Energy to the Earth, it can then be transmitted through the ley lines to other places. This is the purpose of the Worldwide Labyrinth Day event. It is held the first Saturday in May. 

Many ASD members have heard that ASD has formed a formal relationship with The Labyrinth Society. One of the purposes of the relationship is to foster understanding of how dowsers can work with labyrinths and Earth energies. The Labyrinth Society supports and promotes Worldwide Labyrinth Day. They have organized a worldwide walk on labyrinths to coincide at the same time for peace and harmony. Since there are some time zones where there is no labyrinth to walk, Dowsers can help facilitate the connection of energies through these zones to other labyrinths, using the ley lines and the labyrinths. Dowsers can help facilitate this effort, and we are looking for volunteers to do this work. Volunteers will hold energy for those spots in the blank time zones for about 5-10 minutes in unison at 1pm on May 2, 2026. If you would like to be a part of this world wide effort for peace and harmony, please let us know by sending an email to Lee Ann Potter at admin@dowsers.org with your contact information.

QUARTERLY DIGEST
VOUME 43, NO.3 SUMMER 2004

GNOWING WISE WATER

BY RAVEN LITTLEONE

Let me paint a setting for my (this also includes my husband Peter's) experience on this given subject. For the last ten years (plus Peter's 18 years) we have been stewards of magical springs in Northern Ontario. In all these years we have under-gone numerous studies; scientific and alternative, plus continuously listen to the voice of the water.

In the last year, we built a 44' seven-circuit labyrinth 'ODORATA', surrounded by a 12-standing stone medicine wheel. To enter one chooses one of the snaking, three-tier Egyptian flowers, brick paths, leading to a Celtic cross, left-handed, south entrance doorway. In one of the two-circles between the Egyptian flowers, stands elevated, an east-facing Easter Island Head, three-and-a-half feet high. In the other circle, dug out a foot, a stone seat faces a ritual fire bowl made of lava rock. 

Approximately four feet away, another small garden has been dedicated to a Chinese goddess. She gracefully stands aligned north/south with the medicine wheel. I dowsed and found a north/south and an east/west energy ley; four water domes; etc... Just to show my connection with the psyche of the water, and the guardian of the land, these water domes appeared afterwards and also shifted when I moved the center to a visually appropriate space! One dome is located under the new center, one under the Easter Island Head, one under the ritual fire bowl, and one under the goddess. (Just think of how Lourdes and Fatima's healing waters came forth!)

 I must admit to having no plans at any time during the sculpturing of this space. No-mind/thoughts, just loving to create and play. 

What I am trying to show us dowsers, is that we have a responsibility to understand all facets of water, so that one may be a better conductor within ourselves of water as a Divine Consciousness. I will utilize passages from the book by Wm E. Marks "The Holy Order of Water." 

The reason why this book on water stands out more than any we have ever read is, first of all, it is current (published in 2001). Just about everything we learnt about water in the last ten years of our studies on this subject, not to mention living with a source of Wise Water, was in this book. Do yourself a favor and become familiar with water's true essence by reading William's book. 

P20 "The fact that water has been discovered throughout interstellar space, ... Thales (Greek philosopher circa 600B.C.) proposed that all things come from water and that all heavenly bodies, including our earth, float in water ...Water therefore may be the connecting interstellar intermediary between all matter in the universe." 

My comments: For us dowsers the same words could be applied to everything one dowses for:

·       Dowsing for water

·       At any depth

·       Dowsing for one's or other's health

·       Our cells are 99% water

·       Dowsing for geopathic stress

·       Underground flowing water

·       Dowsing for minerals

·       Composed of water

·       Dowsing a labyrinth

·       Water dome(s)

·       Dowsing for anything magnetic

·       Runs on water veins 

·       Dowsing for anything electrical

·       Runs on water veins

P.19 "Scientific studies have also showed that water reacts to cosmic influences. It has been observed in laboratories that water used in mixing chemical solutions does not always remain the same. Further studies revealed that the water in the solutions was being influenced by shifts in the earth's magnetic field or by explosions on the sun. How and why water is so sensitive to such cosmic influences, even in laboratories deep underground, remains a mystery ... This means that water is far more sensitive and responsive entity than most people ever imagined."

My comments: How sensitive and responsive is the water in your body?

P.21 Modern science is now speculating that small microbes called extremophiles (because they survive under extreme conditions) may represent the first life form created on earth. These microbes have been discovered in volcanic pools and in the deepest depths of our oceans in above-boiling heat where there is no oxygen or sunlight.

My comments: Our home is located on the oldest rock formation on earth The Canadian Shield (highway #11 North in Northern Ontario) - very near the beginning of the world (see: Arrivals - Stories from the History of Ontario, P.22.) The eruption of local volcanoes spewed intensely hot granite lava, crystallizing the limestone of the ancient seabed, and created a high-tension zone of calcite crystals that the water levitates to the surface through. This results into a highly structured water which is capable of carrying lots of encoded information. 

A student in Environmental Studies at Canadore College in 1994 explored, for his degree papers, this unknown bacteria living in our spring - in & out of oxygen or sunlight. Unknown origin was the outcome. P.25 "Water is always working to create conditions conducive to life."

My comments: 7 to 7.2 is close to a neutral state for our body. If our body exists in other than neutral state (most of the time), what happens when the water in our body sends a message? Calling and talking to underground water veins for example? How is the message deciphered? Does the water in the ground read our body language; if so, how does it read an overly acid or overly alkaline body; in comparison to what our mind asks for? What message does your body convey? Is it one and the same with the water in your body? What kind of water will you attract?

P.26 "For whatever reason, according to the laws of water, life was meant to enjoy the greatest success and abundance when water is close to neutra1." 

My comments: When dowsing for a well, one asks for potable water. One may also ask for ratings of life-force (ex. 0 to 10). What about asking for its pH level? 

Do we take time to speak to the soul of that particular water and communicate as we would with a Divine, feeling being? Have you ever encountered a Wise Water source? How can we relate this image in our heart, if we have never encountered such a source? What are we calling to us? 

P26 "...the unique chemical signature of the stream ...there are also electromagnetic and cosmic influences specific to each body of water ..."

My comments: Water has a fingerprint; a soul; maybe even a DNA! What does man-made or man-intervened water carry? Its maker's make-up? 

P.28 Physical Attributes of Lake Baikal/Sacred Sea

·       4°C winter or summer

·       Saturated with fresh oxygen

·       Natural water purity

·       Its ability to self-clean

·       Ability to support life forms from its surface down to its deepest depth

·       Living water

·       Unique ecosystem

·       Healthy cold-water conditions

·       Specifics of rare life forms that can be found nowhere on the planet

·       Deep rift

·       So clear

·       Spiritual and healing qualities ...

"For the reasons expressed above and many more, it makes sense that we give priority to understanding Lake Baikal and other bodies of water and the life they hold." 

My comments: The important part is that we do start relating to these special bodies of water, so that we may begin to gnow through intimate relationship, what "living water" is all about. What wisdom is hidden in these waters? 

Have you ever encountered a Wise Water source? It appears people like Viktor Schauberger (see Callum Coats' book entitled 'Living Energies') and some scientists have so far enabled us to know the physical characteristics of what constitutes Wise Water; and more still to be discovered. 

Freddy Silva in his book "Secrets in the Field" mentions that one of the key components to the making of crop circles (by the Circle Makers, not man-made) is the location. England's sacred sites where there is an abundance of water flowing through limestone, creating a high electrical charge, is a favorite. These are located on ley lines, are ancient places of

veneration, might still have healing and spiritual properties, create geomagnetic anomalies etc. So, we have a certain type of water, with a great capacity for being encoded. 

As we entertain the idea of deciphering the Language of Light, we need to familiarize ourselves with the Divine attributes of Wise Water. In our new consciousness, Wise Water of our earth require to be handled with sacredness for it to release its messages. To create a Living Water Temple in our own bodies is a first step. 'As Above, So Below.' 

Wise Water= Ancient & most Recent Wisdom. 

Wise People read your body language and see through your ego. 

Wise Water does the same. 

Wise People will give you what you understand at whatever level you are at.

Wise Water acts in the same way. 

If one has never encountered Wise Water, how can one emulate through feeling memories what it is looking for when dowsing? For mankind to re-discover its waterways, it must come in contact with the ancient & most recent memories of Wise Water (also known to us as 'Water of the Original Creation') through its heart connection.

Basic Earth Energies, Dowsing & Clearing Protocols

Dowsing is a skill that can be applied in a variety of ways and focuses. ASD draws from a host of resources to provide insight into the vast study that guides our Dowsers today.

Download Above Chart Here

BASIC EARTH ENERGIES DOWSING & CLEARING PROTOCOL

BY WILLIAM GEE

Below is a detailed outline of one such way to use dowsing to facilitate an energetic change. The Source materials for this simplified protocol include "Quantifying and Healing Earth Energies" by John Irving, Volume 43, No. 1, Winter 2003, Letter to Robin: Dowsing Insights and Tested Protocols by Walt Woods, and in our upcoming book, The Essence of Dowsing by Gary Storozuk. You can use any dowsing tool for this protocol, but our recommendations are the L-rods or Y-rod to assist you in Step 1, the pendulum in Step 2, and the bobber in Step 3.

Before we begin, we must understand exactly what we are looking for when it comes to “Noxious Energies”. Simply put, noxious energies are conduits, vortexes, or intensified energetic patterns that, when put in contact with living tissue, have the potential to cause both short-term and long term physiological damage. Noxious energies can be both natural and manmade.

Additionally, when multiple noxious energy types coexist in one location, their detrimental effects can be amplified. Specific descriptions of each noxious energy type and their specific effects can be found in the source material above.

Step 1: Observation

Begin your investigation through simple observation. Identify the places where you, your family members, and your pets like to spend a lot of time, and identify the places where people and pets generally don’t like to go. If you have houseplants, identify which locations your plants tend to struggle in and which locations they tend to thrive in.

Step 2: Dowse the Energies

Now, it’s time to break out your dowsing tools. I recommend using Walt Woods’ “Hormetic Curve” or “Personal Dowsing Chart”, but you can also use a simple “beneficial energies chart” when doing this part of your investigation.

In each spot you have identified in Step 1, use the dowsing chart to determine the energetic frequency of the area. Your question should be something like:

“Please indicate the energetic frequency of this particular spot, using the indications of this chart as the baseline and measurement of beneficial and nonbeneficial energies.”

Record your results using the numeric values on your chart of choice. At this point, you could investigate further to determine whether the energies indicate Curry or Hartman lines, vortexes, EMF, entities, thought forms, curses, blessings, or a combination of different energies, but at the end of the day, what you want is the same regardless of what type of noxious energy you are dealing with. You want it fixed to the point where the noxious energies are no longer going to cause problems for you and your family.

Step 3: Clear the Noxious Energies

Throughout the decades, many protocols have been developed to mitigate specific noxious energies in the home. These include the “Iron Stake Method”, Pyramid placement, the placement of certain rocks, minerals, or semi-precious stones, runes, herbs, burning incense, candles, and a plethora of other protocols and methods too numerous to mention. In my experience, no one method is superior to another beyond the specific method that best resonates with the person employing it. If the protocol or method doesn’t feel right for you, then it won’t matter how often you do it or how precisely you follow the ritual of placement; it simply won’t work.

What I do is I use my pendulum or bobber, and I form an energy vortex in the area that I wish to be cleared. I do this by initiating a clockwise circular motion with my pendulum or bobber and directing the energy to the location I’m clearing. This can be done either in-person or remotely, as energy knows no boundaries with space or time. With the intention of mitigating or moving any noxious energies that are harming me or the beings who live in my home, I call upon the universe to alter the polarity of the harmful energies and either dissipate or transmute them to emit positive energy. When the work is finished, I instruct my dowsing to give me a “yes” response, and I verify my work by asking, “Is the work complete?”. If I receive a “yes” response, I move on to the next location.

Step 4: Check Your Work

Go back to Step 2, and using the same measurement protocol, dowse the energies using your chart and compare your results to your baseline investigation. Have the numbers changed more to the beneficial energies rather than the nonbeneficial energies? To what degree? Write down your results. If the energies did not change as a result of your clearing efforts, it is possible that you did not pick a protocol that resonates with you. So, pick another and try again until your numbers improve.

Periodically over the next few months, go back and repeat this protocol. If the clearing sticks, that’s great! If it doesn’t, try again or try a different clearing protocol. If the energies refuse to budge no matter what you do, don’t be afraid to call a professional dowser to assist you, as there may be some additional factors you might not be aware of.

I hope this simple protocol helps to keep your home fresh and clean of noxious energies!

a dowser's ghost story

By Terra Summers

           Opening the tall French doors into the sunlight and walking out onto the third-floor veranda was such a relief after the hustle and bustle of traveling to get to our room at the Crescent Hotel. The ASD conference activities would start in a few hours, and though I looked forward to meeting my fellow dowsers, I also treasured my moment’s peace. As I leaned against the iron railing, I sighed with renewed freshness at the spectacular countryside view of the woodsy rolling hills of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. What a beautiful day at this late-nineteenth century hotel! Spring was definitely in the air along with a hint of a musty smell of something very old. As I lazily gazed down at the neatly trimmed lawn and aged old stone courtyard below, a strange sensation of falling or jumping came across my awareness. I knew enough to know it wasn’t me and opened my mind’s eye to what other sensations were around. 

           Very faintly I thought I heard a band playing and someone singing, “By the Light of the Silvery Moon,” when to and behold, to my left sat a slightly transparent, elderly lady dressed in full-length loungewear of ivory and pale green. Her gray hair was piled tight to her head in a bun. Around her neck lay a very long string of pearls that came down almost to knees. With a twinkle in her eye she smiled, “Everything is going to work out wonderfully for you.” I couldn’t help but smile back and think, ‘I didn’t know ghosts were psychic.’ She put her hands together and glipped, “Oh we have our connections.” A quick laugh slipped out from under my breath As I observed her. She seemed to be amused that someone could actually listen to her. 

           Curious I asked her name. Though names seem to come in a bit scrambled telepathically, I believe she said “Mathilda.” She continued, “In 1947, I fell to my death over that very railing. It doesn’t matter whether I slipped or was nudged. The details are too messy to mention. The point is I made a promise. It is to my promise that I am responsible. So, I am here waiting.”

           Something about her shied me from asking details of this promise. Thoughtfully, I excused myself to catch up with my friends. Thinking on the way she was too kind, wise and peaceful, though a bit sad, to be grounded here among some, shall we say, more flamboyant spirits (according to the reputation of this hotel). Definitely not the tampering type of entity I expected to find at this ghost-renowned place. Casually, at dinner, I mentioned her to my partner. He, being a bit bolder that I, suggested we go and find out if there was anything we could do for her. Off we went back to our room on the third floor with a few dowser friends in tow. As usual my partner asked the questions and I just listened and relayed replies both from Mathilda and the place of universal knowledge. As it turned out, the promise was one of true love.

           Fateful night in 1947, Mathilda had agreed to a secret rendezvous outside her room, on the third-floor veranda, at half past nine with her beloved, a gentleman named Walter. Both Walter and Mathilda were widowed and in their sixties. Because their children were very jealous of their inheritances, Walter and Mathilda had kept their meetings private. Joyfully waiting, Mathilda was waltzing around to the music of a band playing off in the distance, “By the Light of the Silvery Moon.” Just as the clock chimed half past nine Mathilda had a mishap, or maybe other spirits interfered and she slipped, flipping over the railing. Seconds later Walter arrived and discovered her pearls strewn everywhere. She had fallen three floors to her death. Devastated he ran. He ran not only for losing his beloved but also fearing he would be accused of murder. He never spoke of the incident and died two years later of a broken heart.

           Mathilda was a bit shocked when she realized Walter had come to her hotel room more than fifty years ago and had actually passed on. She had no concept of time. To her everything was momentary-endlessly momentary. She hadn’t thought to ask, when or if he might come. She only knew he would.

           Mathilda’s stature straightened as my partner began asking the universe what became of Walter. It Seems that Walter had been reborn twice since his death in 1949. The first time, as a little child, he died of a weak heart. However, he is alive now as a five-year old boy with three parents. I could hear Mathilda say, “What!?” I explained his parents were divorced and arguing a lot. Walter was quite upset over the situation and dealing with a lot of despair.

           Since it had been requested, by the hotel not to do clearings, due to the shenanigans of the ghosts being of monetary interest, we decided to ask the ‘powers that be’ if they would bring Walter and even his parents to the Crescent Hotel as soon as appropriate. We dowsed ‘Yes.’ After the dowsing procedure, Mathilda did the silliest thing. She started jumping up and down like a child. Only with her slightly overweight ghostly body it had the added effect of her bosom freely flapping under her smooth-fitting gown. I guess they didn’t wear bras in those days! But she didn’t care. Clapping her hands, she was just happy Walter was coming.

            Later, on the last day of our trip, we found out that for the few ghosts who wished to leave it was OK to clear them, but someone else had already done the clearing. On contacting Mathilda again, she said she found out how much Walter needed her now. So she had gone on to the other side of the veil called death to where she could be of more help to her true love. However, she requested things remain as they are, in that someday Walter and Mathilda would meet at the Crescent Hotel again, so they could keep their promise and share in their veranda at half past nine, with the soft music playing, “By the Light of the Silvery Moon,” they would have the rendezvous they wished for so long ago. 

           One last thing Mathilda had to say about it all, “Beware the mischievous pranks of the two brothers.” She never did say who they were. But then that’s another story- a ghost story- of course.

“Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose there are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.”
