Time of Reading 10:35 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. HLC: You will have before you [2431] who is at ..., N.Y.C. You will consider the interest, associations and work of this entity in connection with pendulums. At this time please give a discourse on the fundamental principles and technique of using these pendulums, advising the entity regarding his work with them, in order that he may be of greater service. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind of the entity [2431].
3. In giving a discourse on such a subject, a great many things or conditions must be taken into consideration; as related to metals and their synthesis, as well as those things having to do with the activity of the individual entity in relationships to same.
4. To say that there is naught in the use of the pendulum would be in error. To say that each entity could use same would also be in error.
5. As will be and is gradually being understood, each metal, each element even, has its attractions and its repulsions for the other metals or combinations of same in the different degrees, and in different ways and manners. And if used in search for those things hidden, or misplaced, it will be found that oft - in the experience of some individuals - these may be used as a means of locating such.
6. Such is the use of the pendulum.
7. To make same practical in the experience of an individual, then, is to find - by patient experimentation - those elements that for the individual entity have this attraction.
8. Thus a pendulum may be combined that may be used by the entity in such a way and manner.
9. To be sure, this information is in a manner very INDEFINITE. But as has been indicated, it is VERY definite

if the individual will take the time, and the experimentation, to FIND, to classify for self, that which is in coordination, or that which is attracted under its usage in the pendulum.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Will you explain in a little more detail the laws of attraction and repulsion? (A) There are atomic vibrations, and as there is the breaking up of each element in its forces and forms, there is produced the attraction or repulsion. As an illustration (this you can't use, so we will give it as an illustration): All of uranium elements are an attractive force for those influences that produce same, you see - platinum and all mercury products are attracted by uranium. Uranium, then, will indicate those locations of such pitchblende as would PRODUCE SOME form of its same elements, - or platinum or platnite [?]. In the one - platinum - this would swing across, see? In the others - of the pitchblende - circular.
12. (Q) In considering the individual entity's work with the pendulum, could you suggest certain elements or minerals with which he - [2431] - should begin experimentation? (A) What is he seeking? Water, salt, sand, gold, silver, copper, lead, or what? Begin with whatever he desires to, you see, and work out each one!
