This is a lesson from Ingo Swann, my personal experience, student success rates, and actually, just plain common sense. Do the 10 cards rather than the 52. Why? Because 10 is an interesting experience and 52 is a job. As fast and as smart as your subconscious mind is, it is much more child-like than your conscious mind is. It loves rewards - but it loves its own kind of rewards, not the same kind as the conscious mind does. You might say to yourself that if you win big at something, you will donate to charity and that will logically make you a good person, will help others, and you will feel good about yourself. But your subconscious can just as easily feel good about a piece of chocolate. On the day when you make a higher score than you did the day before, give your subconscious mind a reward of it's own type - a relaxing hot bath, a book or movie, some "me' time, etc. Then give it the reward of letting it stop working on the task. As it learns that winning will let it quit working, and even more, will get it a reward, it will start winning faster and better and start loving doing so. But, as with raising a child, the task has to be clear and character building. So, reward 20% success if all it has achieved before is 10%. But make sure you to set the goal for 70%-80%, and don't stop until that's achieved. That's how kids grow. You don't expect them to write college theses when they begin to learn their alphabet. You reward them for every letter they learn. But you don't quit urging them on just because they learn the full alphabet. You keep that college-level goal in mind until it's reached. It can be a long haul, but that's the way it's done. And, learn a lesson from child psychology. Don't beat yourself up or punish yourself if yesterday you got 50% and today you only get 30%. Negative attention is a reward in and of itself. Accept the step backwards as a part of plateau learning and just don't give the reward. That gets back to the old riddle, "What's the opposite of love?" The answer has never been, "hate", because hate is a form of dedicated attention, too. The answer is "indifference". Not getting attention for failure is a greater incentive for wanting the reward for success for a child (or a subconscious mind) than a negative reward will ever be.

I am thinking of making a separate CRV dowsing course that explains all the various most successful ways that we learned in the military unit to do dowsing. The military, of course, generally wants map dowsing, but we also found that we could dowse for much more esoteric things like plans and intentions, quantity sizes, full travel routes, etc. As a ressult, we developed a lot of accurate dowsing "tools" that are not common to normal dowsing. If I do make that mini-course, I will also include it as a part of the CRV Advanced course (that's where we take up dowsing as a CRV tool), so anyone taking the CRV Advanced will be warned ahead of time to not spend the money on the mini-course (unless they just can't wait.) I also have created an "Associative Dowsing Kit" that has proven to work extremely well for using the principles of ARV as well as the things we developed in the unit for dowsing the answers to just about any kind of question, from esoterics, lottery numbers, future plans and intentions, "best life path", etc. I will have to sell it because the supplies for it cost me right at $20, so I will probably sell it for that plus shipping cost and maybe a dollar or two more. But that's plans for later. So many things to do. On my 80th birthday, the old country song kept coming to mind: "I've got a long way to go and a short time to get there."
