Using a Device for Entity Communication

by....Sharon

I hope that sharing this information will help or encourage others to continue learning and communicating, as I am.

In January 1998 I was thrilled to come across Otherplane's web site, and immediately fired off an email to them asking about Rob visions, and what had been going on here at the house (see Related Account: My boyfriends Gift). When I was a teen, a friend showed me how to use a device to ask questions, and I had read somewhere that this was a way to ask questions of your higher self. For some reason, when Sam confirmed there were 7 entities hanging around here, I decided to use the same kind of device to try and communicate with them. The pendulum type device is simply a ring on a length of thread. The first time I tried it, (as an adult) was one evening when Rob was out, and my girls in bed. After I was finished, I remember asking for a "sign" to help me talk to Rob about the communication. Rob returned, and then later that evening one of the lamps in the living room turned on for about 30 seconds, and then turned off on its own. Rob looked at me and said, "have you been messing around with the entities?" Then I told him what I had done, and showed him how to do it. Since then we've noticed several different things, but never anything scary or dramatic.

I started communicating by establishing how the ring would move for yes, or no, by writing those words on a piece of paper. In the beginning I wrote all the questions on paper and held the ring over what was written. It was quite frustrating at first, partly because I often asked group questions and so any entity would answer, and partly because the questions weren't specific enough, so that it seemed like the answers were incorrect or untrue, when really they weren't. Sometimes if I rephrased a question, I'd get a totally different response. Rob had been asked to join OGS, and the night of the inaugural meeting, put me on, to explain what I was doing. Then I was asked to join OGS as well! We are grateful to the members for all their help and support.

Once, I was quite frustrated, knowing there were seven here, but never knowing who was answering. Lou and Rhonda gave me some good advice. Rhonda said, "group answers don't count", and Lou reminded me about giving a group of entities color names to help tell them apart.

Eventually I began asking the questions out loud, or sort of whispering to myself. Then I began just thinking the questions. The first time I did this, and it worked, was quite exciting! One night I confirmed there were seven here then said I wanted to give them all color names to make it easier to communicate. We had already established that two were Rob's great-great grandparents, and I knew that another one was a male that was interested in talking to me. (I would later find out that he answered yes to a lot of outlandish questions just to keep me interested in communicating with him!)

In assigning the color names, the first thing I did was ask Rob's great-great grandparents if the grandpa would be blue, and the grandma would be pink. They agreed. Then I asked my male friend if he would be Green. Then I said I would say a color, and the one who chose that color would answer "yes". As I began to talk to a specific entity, I began to see subtle variations in the movements of the ring. I would notice the ways in which a particular entity moved the ring. I also noted how it felt communicating with each one. I also established a "good-bye" movement, so if he/she wanted to go, or didn't want to answer anymore questions they could use that movement. I did this simply by saying goodbye to one, and asking how he would move the ring to say good-bye. Then as I talked to the others I would ask them the same thing, and they began using the same movement. I also eventually established a "no answer" or "don't know" movement, which helped immensely.

All my "yes" answers are circular movements, but there are variations in the movement that help me know if I am indeed talking to the entity I want to. It helps to know those movements when another entity butts in to the conversation. Then, I can either emphasize whom I do want to talk to, or as I often do...excuse myself from talking to the one...and then talk to the "butter inner".

I've never asked for confirmation of the information I've received from the entities, but I'll share some of what I've got, in describing the communication.

The seven color names chosen were Pink, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow and White. Nobody wanted purple! All say good-bye with a back and forth, East-West movement, and all say "no answer" or "don't know" with a very specific North-South, up and down movement. I usually hold the ring in front of my body and North is always away from me and South is towards me. (Not the cardinal directions!)

I should note that the way my ring (or pendulum) moves is not the same as how Rob's ring moves. He notes, "When I talk to Celeste (yellow) my "no" and "no answer" is just no movement, same with Pink, and the yes is a counterclockwise small oval." Maybe it is because I communicate more often, that I've noticed such variation in the movements?

Blue will answer, but Pink answers strongly so I talk to her most times. Her answers are the most distinct. She chooses to say yes with a counter clockwise circular movement. None of the other entities circle counter clockwise like she does. Her "no" is also quite different. It moves from SW to NE (like a back slash).

Then there is Orange, who according to my answers, is a four-year old boy. His mother is Red, and she chooses not to communicate. I remember when I first saw Oranges "yes", I realized that he had cut in a few times, back when I was asking group questions. His "yes" is the most complex and the most creative. Once the ring gets moving, it moves in a clockwise oval shape, in the NE to SW direction, sort of like it is circling a forward slash. Then it drifts to the opposite direction, still clockwise, but making an oval movement in the NW to SE direction, like it is circling a back slash. If I let the ring keep moving, it will go back and forth between these two movements. Orange's "no" is a simple forward slash movement, as most are, which is why when I get no answers, I will often emphasize whom I am talking to. However, as I get better at communicating there seems to be less of a chance of another cutting in, and me being unaware of it!

Green's answers are quite simple, no frills. His yes answer is a simple, often large, clockwise circular movement. Sometimes depending on how I'm holding the ring, his answers have been so strong that the ring hits my arm. His no answers are also a simple forward slash movement.

Rob and I have tried a few times to talk to White, but her answers aren't very strong, so I haven't talked to her enough to get an idea of how she specifically moves the ring. Her "yes" is small and clockwise, and her "no" is like the others.

Then there is Yellow, the teen entity that we have become quite familiar and friendly with. We have come to know her as Celeste. When she has a yes answer, she gets the ring started in a N-S direction, but then quickly goes to an oval movement in the E-W (or back and forth direction). Having a "good-bye" and "no answer" movement has been particularly helpful in communicating with Celeste, since she often chooses not to answer, or sometimes will leave in the middle of a question, so that the ring may begin to move like a "yes", then drift to the good bye movement. One time she left abruptly, and I tried a few times to see if she would come back and kept getting a "no answer" movement. Then when I asked her if she was here, I got a "no" from Pink!

Celeste has answered many questions about her life, her family and the circumstances surrounding her accidental death at the age of 13. Learning to communicate with Celeste and to better understand her, in the hopes of being better connected with her when communicating has been both challenging and rewarding! We have come to know her as being playful, moody, mischievous, blameful, friendly, or upset. She has sometimes answered questions for hours, and other times left abruptly after a few minutes. I have practiced a lot with Celeste, and many times had questions, ideas or information pop into my head, that I could never have thought of on my own. Also, something unique occurred in communicating with Celeste. Rob started having visions of her life, family and the accident, depending on what I was questioning her about at the time. Rob and I found out things on our own, and then confirmed in discussion. Other times I would confirm something Rob saw by asking Celeste about it. He even saw things which Celeste could not (or would not) confirm.

Communication is good with Celeste, but I still often confirm things, by asking confirmation questions, and I also still ask her if she is telling the truth. She still has her playful and mischievous side. I tend to trust her more than Rob does!

We also always remember to thank her for her answers and tell her we appreciate them, as we do when talking to any entity.

I wrote the above a few months ago, when Rhonda asked for an account of how to use a device to communicate. Since then, I have communicated less with Celeste, and also communicated with two others that agreed to the names Peach and Brown.

Peach informed me she had died in a car accident near here, not long ago. Right away, her "yes" was a very strong, wide circular movement. She was the first entity to answer "no" when I tried to say goodbye. Last I checked she wasn't here, so maybe she has moved on. I also think White may have moved on too.

Pink remains very helpful, and I often talk to her first. When communicating we seem to be very connected. She forces me to be very focused since she now answers before I even ask, so I have to be very tuned in to my thoughts. She helps me figure out who's here, and there are times she will cut into my communication with another, because, in my opinion, she feels they are not answering truthfully.

I still try to communicate with a few entities several times a week. If I don't, I get pretty tired when I get back into it. I am still learning, and still enjoying it.
