You are absolutely correct there, Doug. Very few of the Water & Site SIG actually post on the forum at all, which is a sad state of affairs. I would say that there is also a tendency, especially amongst the old-timers, to keep their methods and techniques to themselves for fear of professional competition (correct me if I'm wrong here); and this is not helping to encourage younger folk to get into water dowsing and is resulting in a still-decreasing pool of professional water dowsers in the country and on the BSD register.

No doubt others have suggested this before, but of course we all have busy lives and it takes a considerable effort and time commitment to begin and sustain a professional society. Since I am suggesting it again now, I will consider re-joining the society and putting a proposal together for such an organisation to develop within the BSD.
I think there is a danger of too much fragmentation here. There are strong advantages in maintaining a large national body as the BSD, which has the administrative capability to support and protect dowsers against legislative challenges, such as many of our members are experiencing at the moment at the hands of the Advertising Standards Authority.

Yes, absolutely. But I think the research requirements can be well-served within the existing Society structures, particularly with the Water & Site Group and the Dowsing Research Group. But where are the research proposals? Many have argued that the Society should be actively promoting such research, but we can only do that if people submit structured proposals... and there is a challenge that I hope you (or somebody else) will take up.

But.... as I said previously, this is a public forum and is most definitely NOT the place to be discussing BSD policy, so regrettably I must end this conversation here.

Physically moving water veins with dowsing need not be considered inconsistent with science.

If we consider that what is underground is unobserved (and will never be observed completely without digging it all up), then it could be seen as a large number of macroscopic entangled uncollapsed quantum waveforms. The water needs to get from one side to the other, and the rocks have some characteristics from their history, but the details of how that is resolved into a stream could be a number of overlapping quantum probabilities. This leaves it open to manipulation.

I'm not talking pseudo-science here. Quantum mechanics explains that firing a particle at two slits creates a pattern as if the particle passed through both slits. Scientists have tried with bigger and bigger particles, up to molecules, and it still works (the molecule passes through both slits). One day they might try it with drops of water. There is nothing to suggest that water will behave any differently. Each drop of water found on the other side will have passed through both slits. The water drops exist as quantum probabilities until observed, when the waveform collapses into a drop at a definite position.

So I can't see any reason why water passing through rock should be any different. All the possible veins exist as probabilities until observed. This can explain moving veins. I don't think it can explain turning veins on/off, but you know at this scale things are pretty complicated so maybe with a bit more thinking an explanation consistent with quantum mechanics can be found for that as well. I mean, maybe we observed the previous water, but the water on its way is still unobserved thus no contradictions are created by allowing its behaviour to be changed.

So in short I think this means that people worried about contradicting science should not worry, and can try the technique anyway.

(BTW, I'm not saying that science will accept the mechanism of moving veins, or of dowsing in general, since that is the interaction of consciousness and matter and they are nowhere near an understanding of that yet -- just that moving veins is not inconsistent with established laws of quantum mechanics, as far as I can see. And yes, I am someone with scientific training, so I do find I have to try and resolve this kind of thing for myself. Probably it is much better not to have this limitation, because science has been wrong a number of times, in the sense of 100% believing incomplete explanations, e.g. Newtonian mechanics versus what we have now. So it would be better not to be limited by current scientific belief.)

Never tried to move water veins but I imagine it might be possible, in as far as you attempt to move the line to a place where it’s of more use. The process must be the vein searches new paths towards a better position where it can be used in a better way and provide clean water to folks who need it. The power of the mind has immense uses we just are starting to understand this, reaching out to change things we might have in the past thought impossible, the world is open to those who are willing to take the first steps.
