Hello Glen
I follow Hugh Lovel's lead as far as what goes in what well
I guess you mean actual arrangement of the preps in the wells ?
My broadcasters are built with 45 degree junctions for the wells - I
potentise into liquid - alcohol and water - and the angled wells prevents
problems with leakages
I had to think about this for a bit - I dont really have a strict system
but then I do kind of .
The 500 and 501 always go in first so they lay on the bottom centre of the
well jar (bottom and top wells of course)
Always put the horn clay next to the primary preps (on the right)
I usually have a vial of fresh rain water in and it will be on the left
the remainder go around to the right in number order - gravity being what it
is we end up with a circular cluster thats a rough circle anti clockwise.
This probably does not matter at all, if we go with the wave theory or
frequencies (however you like to put it) then each different prep will have
its own specific frequency (s) which should be picked up and transmitted
equally, regardless of where it is inside. Still I'd rather stick to a
pattern, I think if we develop these little rituals it adds to the effect,
just through reinforcing intent if nothing else.
My map with written intent goes in before the reagents and lays around
against the glass in a circle.
I make sure that nothing ever is flat in the bottom of the jars.
We all have different ideas - when I treat with peppers for weeds or other
problems - its usually a short sharp blast - I take the normal preps out and
just put the pepper in for say 36 hours ( I dowse for this) and will
probably have four or five different potencies in. Why ? I guess I'm trying
to get at the different layers of the problem. A MM potency is operating in
a different way to D ? Some would see this as a shotgun approach - sometimes
a shotgun is easier to hit with.
Sorry that this is disjointed, I have been on the tractor this evening and
rushed it a bit.
cheers
