TRAINING YOUR PENDULUM:

When you first start to use a pendulum you must train it to react in the way you want, so that you will know what it is telling you.  You must therefore train it to give you 'Yes', and  'No', Silly question and search response.  The first two responses are self-evident, and 'search' will tell you that the pendulum is busy looking for whatever you have asked it to find. 

 Silly question might seem unnecessary, but actually its very helpful.  You need to know when you have asked your pendulum a question that it cant answer, otherwise you might misinterpret its response.  For instance, if you ask the pendulum a multiple-choice question, such as 'Is coffee or tea better for me?', it cant answer and will respond with 'Silly question', You will have to break your question into two halves in order to get a proper answer from the pendulum.  Sometimes you will get 'Silly question' for reasons that you cant fathom.  When this happens, it is either because the pendulum is not cooperating with you (in which case you need to keep working with it until it does) or because the question has already been answered on ways that you don't yet realize.
