Hi Kevin,
I do not appreciate My name used upon here been associated with some pub info.
It wasn't.
Is this a thread about spirals, or *** is it about???
Please, no profanities on here, there's no need.
Currently, we are discussing downward spiralling forum topics and how to avoid them. How to give everyone an opportunity to voice their opinion whilst sorting out what's valid and what's not without falling into the usual predictable vortex.

The first line on this thread was "Just a bit of levity"
Has someone missed the point?

Kevin,
Back onto spirals then chap, The spiral shape which I dowsed relating to the center point, incidently I was asking for nodes to see just how frequent they are following a valid point from George.
I find it difficult to accept via my dowsing that it was a configuration of straight lines, purely as I was dowsing from a singluar point, in order for the spiral to be a straight line configuration I would have had to be switching from more than one point i.e other nodes. This did not seem the case and the spiral seemed distinguished from any other points, and directly relating to the center point of the node.
Incidently I found the spirals to be larger based on their connection to wider lines, so no consistant grid. There may be a ratio present, but this is going to require extensive mapping with the strings and pegs.
How does this translate to you. Next question, how does this spiral transend vertically, in simplistic terms and relative to the one point and not others.
It will be difficult but this is possible to map on a simplistic level, and I suspect we should strive to do so.

Im sorry you all are having a tough time relating to one another, but I have to say if I wanted to ask someone about spirals, two come to mind, cropredy, and runemage.
Has anyone here ever seen the spiral wave of smoke eminating from a flattened out fire pit, that is carefully shaped to do so?
It's an American Indian ritual to have a teepee gathering for thanking the spirits, and after a night of chanting, and thanking the star gods, the good thoughts go up through the teepee top in a spiral plume of smoke.
It's a perfect spiral, as the pariculates in the smoke align with the toroidal spin of the Earth's creation, and carry the night's chants, and prayers, into the heavens.
Look to the water, cropredy always said, and there was my friend "Swishy the coriolis", and in the aether, now, I have my new friend "Smoky the spiral" to keep me balanced.
Opposites attract, you know.
I guess the spirals are the basis for all creation, and degradation, as well, and I know now that they werent just artwork on a rock, but a factual visualization of an actual event.
You guys here have opened my eyes wide, and it's a shame to see the team in turmoil.
Take a breather, folks, and come back with a clear mind, and a hungry heart for truth.
Stepping off soap box now

Jon,
Data has not been made completely available in a high concentration, but for instance, the dowsing of a spiral formation in which the center of the spiral has 34 straight lines or spokes emulating from it. The straight lines are not evenly spaced and the direction of the sun showed the straight lines (known as radials) to be closer together.
This data was arrived at via the method of dowsing, but netherless is still data, which upon quantifiable via another dowser should be treated as such. The formation of an idea does not reflect this data, but an idea may be based on the data - but in my opinion not the same thing.
The locating of spirals at these ancient sites from my perspective is nothing to do with ideas.
Best wishes
Tom

I think I understand: Trying to re-word to see if I have understood: You have something you can detect, which is verifiable by other dowsers as having the same pattern of variation relative to a datum (eg the sun)?

Jon,
Correct although the sun had no intentional involvement in the research, observation seemed to show a link with the layout of the dowsed lines after the dowsing.
I understand how it sounds to those not engaged in the research, and many dowsers are not engaged in such research. But my point is that the measurements and findings from the dowsing is data, irrespective of its source, it may be verified or found to be false i.e under conditions which lead to the results, rather than discovering, but is still data.
I do not consider the research I have done to be armchair based but actually going out and finding which would seem to be there or appear to be there (again this is not conclusive but very very probable), the formulation of ideas comes after the results/ fieldwork, and is not conclusive.
I am trying here to seperate the finding of spiral formations via dowsing from an idea, When I dowsed the spiral I had no idea process of anything to do with a spiral, I was merely trying to find what a "node" looked like. The idealology comes after, and it is interesting to note the finding of spiral artistry at ancient sites where upon dowsing there are spiral shaped patterns.
The research is still too early to draw any real conclusions.
Best wishes

George,
I am unaware based on the way in which I have followed the process, I could be missing something which is why currently I am trying to get others involved. I stress that the process should not be directed at whether dowsing works or does not work, as dowsing is clearly influenced by the mind of the dowser, but the dowser(s) data should be cross referenced to establish a confirmation of the results, and this should be repeated at different locations of different types using the variable of previous human occupation.

Tom ,I'm not sure if Ihave got this right but are you saying that for the findings to be found false , it would require one dowser providing one set of results that does not conform with those of another dowser ?

George has a good point. You know what you've found so you'll also know how the test if the dataset is wrong. The first thing to do is probably to work out how to show the dataset is wrong as if you were working against your own theory, then do that test. If you find that it's not wrong as a result of the test, then you might be on to something. If you find the evidence is better as a result of the test then open up the data to everyone else so that they can trash it. If the evidence becomes stronger as a result of everyone else trashing it, then you really might be onto something.
The biggest problem you have will be to distinguish between individuals who can't dowse but say they can, those who can only do it some days, those who can do it consistently and those who use the body language of others to do it consistently.
Not easy.

Given the questions and comments from Jon and George, do you think that if dowsers A,B,C and D get different results from dowser E, would you consider dowser E to be wrong?
Or maybe all are human?

Sem , I didn't really make a comment .I was asking a question ,but fwiw ,for me if dowsers ABCD and E all get different results it doesn't necessarily mean anybody is "wrong" .
I was really more interested in Tom's comment about the possibility of falsifiability .

Hey, Sem!
Error is inherent in any test, or experiment, yet dowsing is neither.
It is the bond between mind and earth energy, and if one dowses lines differently from another, it only means he is thinking at a different frequency, hence the different placement of lines.
Aside from that, as a scientist, you must set up a control, and then check the difference betwen dowsers, and formulate an equation to average them all together, but we who understand it know no equation can come close to pinning it down, so we use the results to form a collection, and soon the experienced dowser will see benefits from the results that arent so accurate, too.
Its simple, and hard all at once, and Tom and Cropredy have found their niche, so maybe you should try to find your's Tiompan, and get out there, and SEE what these things are that you cant seem to wrap your head around.
Any dowser will tell you(and I am a newbie) that if you believe in what you are looking for, and why youre looking for it, it will be there.

Yes you are a newbie Little Enki and as such maybe should consider dishing out advice so readily .Not that it matters but I had tried dowsing a long time ago probably before Cropredy and Tom and probably before you had even heard of the word .Maybe you should try wrapping your head around some critical thinking and SEE (do the caps make it clearer ?) too. Give it a try , believe in what you are looking for ,make it gold like cropredy claimed to be able to find , please find some for yourself and donate it to charity .

It seems logical that if dowser A, B, C and D get one result and dowser E gets another then the first four must be tuned in to a similar criteria where dowser E is picking up something else.
Surely all 5 results must be considered part of the whole?
It's a bit like colour blindness, people can look at the same thing and see it differently whilst both observing the same subject and both reporting accurately, their descriptions can be entirely different.
I can't help thinking that Cropredy would usually be dowser E!
and I suspect he will return shortly to dismiss that opinion

There could be various reasons why dowser E gets a different result and because of this need not be considered "wrong" . Time of day/night , what they are wearing , season , sun spot activity ,phase of the moon , recent consumption , expectation and anything else you care to mention could affect the abilities of E or what he may be detecting .
