The free will pendulum provides a means for your own unconscious to communicate with your waking rational mind.

Subtle involuntary muscle motions, breathing, air currents, accelerations, all couple into the patterns the pendulum makes.

Set to a pleasing beat and twirl, a string length adjusted to satisfy your personal esthetic, the motions of the pendulum become a fine tuned filter, amplifying and revealing particular components of your subconscious.

		no.... really!
	Back in the 70's we were goofing around with this oriental carpet which we thought would make an ideal flying carpet. After much shuffling of furniture and gathering of props and a hilarious photo-shoot, here is the result.
	PREPARATION Calm the pendulum (simply touch the screen, and it calms down). Enjoy watching it. Zoom in with the traditional two finger 'pinch open'. Lay the pendulum flat on your palm. All distractions will fade away, and it is time to begin.
	Dono if your browser will read png straight from the Organizer. Above is a new agate. I like the idea of having a selection of pendants to choose from. Probably select em by double tapping on the pendant. Oh. And that would be a nice way to change the photo below, too. Speaking of the photo, it might be nice to tip it upright behind the pendant if it gets pushed too far back.	04/21/09: K, did that. Pretty messy code, all the pendant mesh are in there at once, in a ring. Not sure about the tilt up photos, it wasn't my first thought how to place them. But now that they are, the invisible back wall could start a bit closer, maybe? Oh, and sorry about the sparkling verticies in the gold agate. I broke the mold when I made that one.. cant go back to weld the normals...


PROPERTIES Length the length of the pendulum Friction affects how quickly the swinging settles down Gravity affects how rapidly the pendulum swings back and fourth Adjust the string length to get a satisfying swing, the gravity (yes, we can change gravity..) to get a satisfying rythm. Select A Photo You may select a photo to guide your meditation. Once selected, it is simple to position the photo exactly as you like it below the pendulum.

Meanwhile, I have been nibbling at the old physics books. The upcoming version puts positioning control onto the main view, via touch,drag, and tap. A lot less distracting. And controls fade out for the Oracle if you just hold it still in any position.
I have always used free will divination. I do not expect the clouds, dreams, or visions to follow a pre-written code. It is better to listen, and learn. Talk to your pendulum. Have a conversation. You will learn the shapes for 'yes' and 'no' and so much more.
