Often when we are restricted to yes and no answers, getting an answer to a question can leave us with more questions than we started out with. It is possible to get deeper answers from the pendulum, but still using only yes or no questions.

Suppose your question was "Will I get the job at ABC Company?" and your answer was "yes". One of the first questions that pops into your mind is "when", but you can't just ask "when", you have to break it down into a yes and no question.

Will I get the job today? Will I get it next week? Tomorrow? You can ask these questions, one at a time until you get an affirmative answer.

Generally, if you only intend to use your pendulum for guidance occasionally, using this method may be all you will need to do. However, the pendulum can go allow you to get to much deeper levels of knowledge, if you take the time to advance your skills.
