I didn't do this, but I was with someone once who used a pendulum and a paper or something that had commonly known "ascended masters", and perhaps others, and then also letters that somehow this pendulum would be around/point to give messages (from whatever spirit).
I seem to remember it saying "Trust" as she interpreted "trst". The pendulum seemed to encircle these letters.
The entire time a strong "bullshit" was going on in my head. I was laughing at the absurdity. I don't remember how this connects, but the master that came was Jesus, and he apparently was laughing about something. She also said he only showed up once before. His laughing I felt was with me, if it was real. I identified with his laughing. It was stupid, this divination, or so I felt. But, I always fight myself. I'm agnostic to my assumptions. And, he may have been laughing for a different reason. Most likely. I don't now call it bullshit.
