Pendulum Power

T. C. Lethbridge. The Power of the Pendulum. Arkana, 1984.
🔻
To review objectively the work of a man who has been one of the formative influences on one's life is an impossible undertaking. Consider this to be a panegyric. Lethbridge is primarily an author of ideas and theories; one of that very select group whose ideas cannot be adequately summarised. His books are a cornucopia of insights into a wide range of parascience subjects, ranging from ancient astronauts, a theory of how ghosts are formed, the nature of time, and the discoveries he made on the hidden properties of matter using his dowsing abilities with a pendulum.
 
Each theory he proposed and tested is original, each idea is somehow stamped with his unique personality. Lethbridge died in 1971, having written nine books. The Power of the Pendulum was his last book, edited posthumously by his wife. lt is in the nature of a notebook, each chapter discussing one of his favourite themes, expanding what he had to say on the subject in his previous books, and is a summation of all he had to say. Equally, it is a good summary for the new reader seeking an introduction to Lethbridge. Whether any of his theories are subsequently proved to be true is unimportant. This is a book to inspire thought and experimentation
