Life is in two parts.

There is the physical and there is the soul.

The physical has to find out through the hurts, injuries, aches and pains, joys, sorrows, reading, writing, copying and listening to others.

The Soul has the ability to find out about life in the physical only while it is attached to a physical body. The Soul has chosen this particular physical body to find out the conditions and environment at that time. It may take many years of an Earth Life before the physical body becomes aware that there is something else other than the physical body, that one is able to see, to feel, to hear, to taste, to smell and to sense on a higher or finer rate of vibration beyond the normal senses. It is when we learn about these other vibrations that we seek to gain knowledge about them and when we have got even a slight understanding, that someone may ask or show us how to use or operate a pendulum or a V rod. It is only while we are trying to get a response to a question that we slowly become aware that there is something else helping us with our problems. Many people live their whole life on Earth just complaining about this or that triviality, without ever once asking why, or finding out WHY it is all happening to me. This is one of the factors of being able to operate successfully your pendulum or V rod or motorscope and only while one is in a very relaxed condition and away from the rush and bustle of modern day life. If we are full of tension and non-important physical things, how can we contact these finer or higher rates of vibration and so allow the response to come through to give us the correct answer on our indicators or instruments.

Oh dear, Mr Danks, how the rush and bustle of modern day life has changed in the intervening 60 years!
