WORKS OF
DARKNESS
the movement will be slight, yet the strength of the muscles
will hold their place. If the affirmative answer was not in
actuality reflective of the unseen truth, the muscles will give
way and the arm will easily be pushed down. The theory and
explanation given by muscle testing experts and devotees is
that, once again, the subconscious mind is linked with the
Universal Mind, and therefore knows all, and the whole of the
self is weakened by telling a lie. Therefore, the muscles cannot
sustain a falsehood, and the strength of the arm collapses.
Although the querent may, on some conscious level, exert more
strength for some questions than others, just as the assistant
may do so when asking certain questions, or may "fool" the
technique in the same way that the adept criminal may easily
fool a polygraph test, the practice is used more and more by
modern self-proclaimed metaphysicians and spiritual
therapists, such unwitting charlatans claiming to have the
answers to Eternity literally at their fingertips.
5. Direct communication with the dead is the only method that
the Necromancer can trust fully. When his own eyes see their
faces, his own ears hear their words, and often his own skin
feels their icy touch, he cannot deny that he has spoken with
the dead. Once the greater vision of the Black Magician is
awakened, he may speak with the dead through a mirror, or
he may commune with them as they stand before him. Such
an interaction takes far more discipline to achieve than sitting
and waiting for a voice to appear in recorded static or for a pen
to scribble out dead words, and it puts the spirits far closer
than most are comfortable with. Through this method,
however, the dead will rise from their graves and will stand
before the Sorcerer to answer his questions and to do his bidding.
