The reason why psychics and dowsers, and others in similar fields – leaving aside charlatans – do not always get the sort of consistent results that science invariably requires of them, is because just as with physicists when working deep in the strange realities of quantum mechanics, they are working at the extremes of physical reality. Consequently, three things affect what they are attempting:

1. the state of the moment. Probing along the very edge of the physical, everything is affected by the quality – not just the quantities involved – of the moment – as Jung has pointed out.
2. The state of the observer – that is the state of the medium or dowser. These practitioners – leaving aside charlatans – are all at different stages in terms of their abilities and indeed of their moral / ethical compass.
3. They are also affected by the moment itself. The observer, in relativity and quantum physics always affects the observed. This is true in matters of the mind and the soul. But also, we must understand that when it comes to such as psychics and dowsers, the practitioners themselves are also affected by the moment and by the state of that they are observing. Reality shifts, and sensitivity to those shifting realities will be in continual flux, will be forever in an all but unpredictable flow.
