A viewer asks: “I cannot muscle test nor can I pendulum test—the pendulum doesn’t move an inch and the muscle testing has no effect on me. I understand what is needed for both, and the belief that is needed as well as protection and training. However, it makes no difference. As a child, a sister of mine could easily dowse for water with a stick. I couldn’t make mine move whatsoever. Is this having chosen not to have the skills for my lifetime, is it karma, is it interlopers interfering with my abilities, or is it purely based on what I believe will happen, or not as it may be? I HAVE believed, though. It makes no difference. I have heard of others with the same issue. What can Creator tell me, please?”

This is a karmic dilemma that is fear-based. The deep part of your mind, the deep subconscious, is fearful of your communicating in this way, not wanting to divulge inner secrets because of a history of suffering as a consequence, from other lifetimes when you were punished for doing so. That has made you a kind of island fortress that stands mute, to stand strong, rightly, or wrongly. So this is not harmful or a sign of outside interference or manipulation of you. It can be considered a healing opportunity, but you are not missing much, because those testing approaches to gain insight are imperfect at best, and particularly, when you are starting out with great difficulty to get any responses. This does not bode well for a facile, convenient, and reliable way to gain information and knowledge you can count on. Only half of the population can get meaningful feedback using muscle testing or a pendulum. It might be right on occasion, but if there is a one third chance, for example, of getting the wrong answer, this puts you at risk in relying on what you learn, and it will be particularly problematic the more intense your feelings about what you are probing, such that it will be least reliable when it counts the most.
