Newsletter #10, for January 18th, 2005

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no
loss of enthusiasm."
- Winston Churchill


Dear PsiPog Users,

Alllright :-).  We have a BUNCH of new mail, so I'll try to get
through the majority of it.  Welcome to all the new memebrs of
the newsletter - I hope you find these useful and interesting.
They go out every other tuesday, and I try to fill it with things
people have e-mailed me with.  If you want to send in a comment,
question, suggestion, weblink, complaint, whatever - send it to:
newsletter@...

What updates are going on at PsiPog.net?  Well hmmm... I fixed
the Search page finally, and I also updated the layout of the
"Login" pop up thingy.  Any new articles?  Kind of... there are
always a large group of "in progress" things, and every once in
a while a random one goes from "in progress" to finally
"finished".  I don't have any specific articles that I think will
be finished soon, but I do have a large bank of "in progress"
articles that could cross over soon.

OH YEAH!  Don't forget to check out the new video in the Media
section from Float.  It's so cool - watch and drool :-P.

Alright, enough boring chit chat, let's get into the mail bag:

"I was just searching the web lately last night, and I came upon
a pretty cool online book on OOBE's. It's very much like Robert
A. Monroe's Book 'Journeys Out of the Body' (which I thank you
for suggesting in the ebook). The guys name is Robert Peterson.
Well here's the book: http://www.robertpeterson.org/obebook.html
I just thought it might be interesting to some one out there.  In
it, it gives a pretty good detailed instruction on a technique to
have an OOB, with some pictures exampling how to do it. At the
end it even goes into some other things that occured in his OBE's
like Telepathy and Empathy."

My comments: Yes!  I love that book, and I even put the link in
the Links section of PsiPog :-P.  I figured I would include this
here because I bet a lot of people overlook the links and wanted
to give everyone a heads up :-P.  It's a great book, and it's
helped me in many ways.  Good recommendation :-).

"Okay if your body produces PSI and you control the product that
YOUR body creates and control the creation of the object (PSI),
then would that not make energy manipulation, Bio-PK?"

My comments: Wouldn't that make moving your arm Bio-PK?  It
depends on your definition of Bio-PK... A more common/scientific
term for Bio-PK is DMILS, which stands for Direct Mental
Interaction with Living Systems.  Don't worry so much about
where to categorize things... Does it really matter if
controlling psi falls under the label of Bio-PK or not?  It's
just a label.  If you're curious about Bio-PK/DMILS, do a search
on google, or go to a library.  Sometimes interesting studies are
categorized under just "Psychokinesis" that could apply to
Bio-PK, so don't be afraid to pick up a few books :-).

"Maybe instead of putting an elabourate chat in the site with
programs and everything you could just create a forum so that
people that arent frequently online can join in too. That way
people can just check in and read the stuff, post something and
check in a few days later and they could also get the opinions
of many more people."

My comments: I know that makes sense in theory... but I don't
think you understand the traffic PsiPog.net pulls.  Back over a
year ago, we tried forums and were deleting 80 posts a day.
I believe people were posting between 200 and 300 a day.  When
we try to do forums, they aren't the normal "check back every
once in a while" type of things - they are so active it's almost
equivalent to a chat.  I do want to eventually try something that
can bring more people together, but I don't know if the "normal
forum" is a workable idea yet.  I'll continue to think about it
and listen to ideas, and we'll see :-).

=================================================================

PotentiaL writes:
"I think a good idea for the site would be to start up the forum
again. I remember back when we had the old forum and that was a
great place to get some idea's and share thoughts. That was
great...until it took up all the bandwith :) Anyways i realize
that would be a tough thing to do because of the way psipog has
grown, but mabey we could find some alternate ways of hosting it
or something."

My comments: Perhaps.  I'm thinking of opening up something like
www.psipog-forums.com or something to dedicate an entire server
to the forums. (No, that URL doesn't work yet, it's just an
idea :-P).  It would cost a lot of money, time, and effort... so
right now it's just in the "maybe some day"-phase.

"Me and my friend have been practicing psi for over a month now
and have been practicing psi and telepathy/empathy. A couple
nights ago as we were practicing we decided to try something new:
seeing people from a distance. I went first, as I had pioneered
this before, though it was in vain. I sought out the person's
face, and my scrying was accurate. We tested this on two other
people, one of which I couldn't find, so my technique is not
completely accurate.

Here's my procedure:

1. Meditate, self-center, clear your mind, whatever exercise you
prefer.

2. Imagine the person's face, and examine how you feel about that
person and how your mind detects that person. This is the
"signature" (in my opinion).

3. Relax and search for the person.

4. After searching, a picture will most likely pop or ease into
your head. It will most likely be the right person, but I've had
a few misses, so to speak.

5. The next time you talk to the person, ask if they did what you
saw."

My comments: I agree that in Step 2, you are finding their
signature.  The hard part seems to be Step 3, which you didn't
elaborate that much on... let me see if I can describe what I
think you're talking about.  (Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll
post it in the next newsletter.)  Close your eyes, and stay
relaxed.  Keep their signature in your mind, and mentally "reach"
outwards (does that make sense? :-P).  The goal is to find the
person - you can imprint this goal on your mind in a number of
ways.  Personally, I just ask myself "where is joey at?".  You
can try other things though, like just holding onto the feeling
of the question (and not verbalizing it), or you can try to
visualize a map with cross hairs searching for the location, or
you can try extending a part of your awareness out and feel for
the right direction to search in.  After that, moving on to
Step 4 might make more sense - you'll probably get some pictures
popping into your head, or a "feel" for where the person is, or
you might "hear" a reply in your head, "joey is at the mall".
Try it out, and see if you're right :-).

=================================================================

j_w_b_1 asks:
"I play tp games with my sister (as i told you last time) and I'm
wondering is that just a kind of family link or is it telepathy
in general?"

My comments: I haven't really analyzed my personal differences
between family-telepathy, and random-person-telepathy.  In some
ways, it's easier with a family member, and in some ways, it's
harder.  For example, if I'm trying to read my sister, sometimes
my brain interrupts and says "well, your sister believes blah
blah and blah, therefore a logical conclusion is that your sister
is thinking blargh bleugh and blarck".  And that can interrupt
the reception of what she really is thinking.  I mean: my deeper
knowledge about her as a person can activate the "logic" in my
head to try and logically conclude what she "must" be thinking.
So with family members (for me at least), it's harder to shut off
this process, and just WAIT and LISTEN.  When I try to read a
stranger, my logical brain doesn't have any information to
process yet, so it doesn't try to draw any conclusions and
interrupt.

However, when I do read them, I can read them very accurately.
Perhaps because it's a team effort between my psychic perception
of them, and my logical understanding of them as a person?  I can
read a few things, and plug that information into my logical
brain, and spit out more interesting conclusions.

It's a good question - perhaps I'll stick that in the next poll
on PsiPog.net and see what others think about it (if I remember
to :-P).

=================================================================

Scott asks:
"Is it true that telekinesis is in everyone?"

My comments: Some people say yes, some people say no.  Personally
I believe that anyone can do it.  But it's sort of impossible to
prove either way, until we know what telekinesis actually IS.
Perhaps something in a person's genes trigger it, or enable it...
or perhaps it's just one of those things that come with being
human.  Or maybe it's one of those things that come with
existing in general?  I don't know.  The only way to find out if
it can work for you is to try it out and see.  There is no "pee
in a cup" test that we can do to see if you're capable :-P.  Try
and find out!

Orphen0025 writes:
"Ok, me and my friend invented a game we got from hide and
go-seek. For a good game you need at least 3 people plus your
self. This can be done in many ways but what we did is we made a
construct some where in a room. What you do is you have your
partners to leave the room so you can "hide" a construct some
where. You let your friends in and they must use their psi only
to find it and once everyone is done looking you tell them where
it really was. It works great and is a little challenging but fun
hope you like it."

My comments: Cool idea :-D.

=================================================================

flip357 writes:
"Well I just got done reading the latest newsletter and it got me
to thinking: I have this friend who puts up reverse sheilds.  He
sheilds to keep his thoughts from being brodcasted out for other
people to pick up on.  Well I was thinking that maybe I could put
a sheild up to keep my thoughts from being brodcasted during
things like a poker game so people could realy tell if I was
bluffing or anything else.  I think about things like that
because I read people to try to get an edge in games like poker."

My comments: Good idea - it's possible for people who don't
practice psionics to pick up on things like that, so that makes
sense :-).

=================================================================

Tenwing_Faia writes:
"A long time ago, I was speaking with a psi-enthusiast I had met
at the Renaissance Faire.  She suggested that psi powers are
'locked' and that those of us who study psi will come to a point
in our life when it will unlock.  Of course, she had said, minor
feats would be attainable beforehand, but at a point in our life
(puberty, or around age eighteen) we will get a flow of power,
in which we can perform bigger tasks (if we have enough exercise
in control) or the smaller ones become a lot easier.  She also
mentioned that where some people can't even do the little
experiments well, it is only that they have a tougher lock. All
in all, quite an interesting theory.  I was wondering, what are
your thoughts are on this?"

My comments: Hmmm...  I don't know if there is a "turning point"
in a psion's life where they notice an increase in "power".  My
understanding is more of a gradual and punctual change type of
thing.  By this I mean... I believe we make gradual changes
and advancements when we practice.  Then every once in a while,
we can make a punctual change which is more sudden and noticable.
For example, if you practice telekinesis, you can sit around and
try to move the pinwheel all day and get no results.  But you are
gradually getting better.  Then one day, you get it to spin!  And
bam, a punctual change.  Now you gradually get better at the
pinwheel, and eventually get the balls to try to move something
harder like a pen.  But you can't move the pen.  So you keep
practicing, and gradually get better, until one day BAM - a
punctual change and now you can move the pen.

Maybe the person at the Renaissance Faire was thinking of one
specific punctual change... One idea that comes to mind is that
person might have been labelling the change from "psi might be
real", to "holy shit it really is REAL!".  That is a big change
for a psion, and can change their outlook on psionics which could
increase their success.  What do you think?

"In the last newsletter Ancheron had the idea of having a suit of
cards with an odd card mixed in and the challenge was to sense
the odd card. I'm going to have to try this.

I experienced a variation of this half an hour after the Flare
party finished. I was playing a shell game with my daughter we
had 2 brown six sided dice (from a backgammon set) and a red 12
sided dice, the challenge was to find the red 12 sided dice. I
found that when my hand was over the cup that contained the 12
sided dice it felt different, as though some pressure was
pressing against my palm. I went with the feeling on the first
game and won, noticed the feeling and ignored it on the second
game and lost then I realised what the feeling was and followed
the feeling in my hand and won every game. It was as though I
could feel the different shape that I was looking for.

This had never happened to me before, I think the concentration
required for the flare party was a real bonus."

My comments: Cool :-).  Good idea for an exercise :-).

=================================================================

puggy2000 asks:
"I was wondering is it actually possible to be better at TK in a
crowd or small group of people, instead of a quiet lonely place?
Becuase I've noticed that my psiwheel moves A LOT more when
people are around. But now I think its the wind or something."

My comments: You have to watch out for wind - the psi wheel is
really sensative.  I believe that a group of people can help
though - I've only done TK once in front of other people because
they wanted to see if I could.  I was really nervous, and I
hadn't practiced in a really long time - but it ended up moving
despite my doubts.  I think their enthusiasm helped me, and maybe
they played a part too because they wanted it to move as well.

"Hey there,
I got a tip for trancing using the how-to guide by SunTzu.

I've recently started DJing and with it, I have learned that the
beat bar (called a four to the floor bar or something like that)
has at least 4 counts. So, when you're listening to the music to
trance out, try and count 1, 2, 3, 4. Eventually (if you have
any ear for music) you'll catch where the beat starts, end and
how fast you have to count. So keep counting 1, 2, 3, 4 and you
can take out the beat bar, and take on more beats (if you want
an overload state) or keep focusing and counting 1, 2, 3, 4 on
that one beat bar.

Good luck with practice!"

My comments: Yep, those of us that play musical instruments can
pick up on that easily... For those musically challenged out
there, listen to ANY song and find a beat.

=================================================================

Oh goodness what a long newsletter :-P.  Lots of people had sent
mail, so I try to get most letters in here.  Thanks to everyone
for their questions, comments, and ideas!  Keep 'em coming, and
I'll keep sending them out :-P.

See you in two weeks :-).

Newsletter #11, for February 1st, 2005

"I hear and I forget.
  I see and I remember.
  I do and I understand."
- Confucius


Dear PsiPog Users,

Howdy howdy :-).  First, the big news: our third PK Party is
scheduled for February 19th, at 7:00pm EST.  It will take place
in the chat's practice room.  Everyone is invited (as long as you
aren't banned from the chat), and you can even join with mIRC or
some other chat client if you want.  It'll be super awesome and
fun, so don't miss it! :-P  If you're going to come, read this
page before showing up:

http://www.psipog.net/calendar.php?view=1&day=1108857600

Anything else going on with PsiPog?  I'm working on the new
forums.  I've got some ideas rolling, and work is getting done.
Unfortunately it'll probably take up to a year to get it working
the way I want it to.  If you want to check the progress, surf to
http://www.psipogbb.net .  Click on the main picture, and you'll
be brought to a page with the progress.

Lots of new mail :-D.  A friendly reminder - send all your
comments, questions, exercises, etc, to newsletter@... .
This newsletter is created from the things you guys write in -
so don't be shy!

=================================================================

"I'm new to psionics, and I wanted to know.... why does it take
learning the basics to do other things quicker? They seem to have
a little related, but not very much. How does it make it easier?"

My comments: You don't have to learn the basics to learn the
more advanced skills.  But it helps.  Think of it like any other
skill - when you first start to learn to play soccer, you don't
start with complex psyche out moves.  You start with kicking the
ball with correct form, passing accurately, etc.  In the same
sense, a lot of psionics requires the ability to focus your mind
100% on a task without distraction, strong visualization skills,
and the ability to alter your state of consciousness.  If you
learn these basics, then you can build off of them in different
directions.  You can take your trancing skill and have it help
you with Remote Viewing - or you can take that same trancing
skill and have it help you with Telepathy.

"Hello, I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned NOT
to do with psionics.
1) Don't link to people that are obviously crazy or poeple with
obvious emotional disorders. I've gotten short term disconcerning
effects from looking too closely at crazy homeless people.
2) DON'T TRY TOO HARD.  If you are experiencing more discomfort
than you would when doing something simple you already know how
to do, stop and practice on something more simple.
3) Be careful with mirror shields; I've gotten weird effects
from making them inside out, or from trying to send stuff out
through them.
4) Always practice whatever shield you want to try out on a
smaller psiball level scale first.  If you can't accurrately
program a psiball to act like you want your shield to, don't
attempt anything on a large scale.
5) Lastly, just focus on having fun.  If you're trying to do
something that is serious or has too much emotional importance to
you, you increase the chances of going temporarily overboard."

My comments: Thanks :-).  Great tips :-).

=================================================================

Nappleapple writes:
"My question is when is the next version of the chat supposed to
come out?  Is it possible to make it so you can choose which port
to connect to the different servers on?"

My comments: Right now I'm focusing on the forums and updating
the scripts on PsiPog.net.  The new chat won't be out for a
while :-/.  I can fix the port issue with the new chat, but don't
hold your breath :-P.

=================================================================

Afrorooster writes:
"Hey, I was just playing ping-pong with a friend and we were
using some TK trying to get the ball to miss the table, and it
worked pretty good. We had a battle of our TK talents to keep the
ball on the table. I just figured it might be a fun way to
practice."

My comments: Cool idea :-).  Some people find doing TK on a
already-moving object easier.  It can be easier to alter the
trajectory of an object, than getting the object to move from a
still position.

Michael writes:
"My question is, can someone who is linked with another person
recieve the visual images from the other person? For example, I'm
blind. One day when I'm good enough at psionics to try a link,
would it be possible for me to find out what color is exactly?"

My comments:  That's a tough question.  I've heard of blind
people learning to see using psychic abilities, but I've never
seen a serious study on it.  Run a google search on synesthesia,
that might pull up something useful.  Here's a link I dug up that
looks useful too:

"I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the Hutchison
Effect but I ran into it while on the internet. The Effect occurs
when radio waves interfere in an area encompassed by high voltage
sources. (I am not a qualified physicist - it's a quote).
More interesting are the phenomena included in the effect:
Dislocation, levitation, changes in temperatures, energy bursts,
what we call phasing (scientifically called fusion of dissimilar
objects), all are documented on film, writing and stills (not
mentioning the results still visible). There is also
teleportation included though it wasn't documented. Anyway, I saw
this and thought how similar those phenomena are to what we try
to do in psionics. Maybe we use our neural system to create
micro-Hutchison effects? You can search google for it and see
what you can find."

My comments: I've never heard of it, I'll have to look into it.
Sounds cool from what you describe :-P.

"Hi there. I had an idea for a telekinetic game the other day. It
requires two people who are well versed in making the psi-wheel
move in whatever direction they choose. Make the psi-wheel, put
it on the pin, then put it under a glass bowl or something to
block wind. Then, each person tries to move the psi-wheel the
opposite direction of the other person. It becomes a battle of
will!"

My comments: Cool idea :-).

=================================================================

Gabi writes:
"In newsletter 8 there was a letter that was talking about how to
tell if a psi ball is really there and not just blood rushing to
our hands.  I think I might have found a way that works, though
it is a bit inaccurate if you are looking for numbers.  Basically
what you so is:  Test the air temperature with your hands and
make sure that all the air around you feels the same.  Then you
hold your hands away from your body and away from each other,
that way you won't feel the heat from anything but your psi ball,
if it happens to be heat that comes.  Next you make your psi
ball.  Since your hands are apart it may be harder to do, but aim
for the center of the gap between your hands.  No, you don't need
your hands but it helps with visualizing a psi ball for some.
Now you remove your hands but try to keep the psi ball in place.
Move one hand around and feel the air around you before moving to
the area where you made your psi ball.  There should be a change
in the way the air feels around your psi ball, whether it be
warmer or colder."

My comments: Wow, this is a really good idea.  I can't believe
I've never thought of it! :-P  I hope you don't mind if I
recommend this test to people in the future :-).

=================================================================

Kermia writes about the forums:
"Just a quick word of support for for Ryan. I feel the isolation
too. I take your point Peebrain about the impossibility of
forums.  I hope some new idea will prove workable."

My comments: I have ideas in my head that I believe will be
workable.  Some of the mods aren't convinced they will be, but
we'll give it a shot :-).  It will take a while, unforunately.  I
believe the ideas will work, and it will be worth it in the long
run.  The bad part is we are currently at the beginning of "the
long run", so we have a little wait :-P.

"I've been praticing psi-wheel for 3 or 4 weeks but still I don't
understand what is the problem?  I've done psi-ball, meditation
and even though I try my best I still have no luck. My first
method was just to look at it and visulize it moving while I
relax and that didn't work so now my new method is to just see it
in my head like you would see it in the tunnel. I haven't give up
yet even though at time I just wanna break the damn thing.  My
question is how long does it take to see reslut on the psi-wheel
or should I just forget about it and move on to othere things.
Anyway I hope you can help me figure out what's the problem is
and make my day little bettter.  Thank you!"

My comments: The first problem I see is you've been practicing
for only 3 to 4 weeks.  Granted, some people get it quicker than
that, but others take a lot longer.  It took me about 1.5 years
of on and off practice.  If you are bored with the psi-wheel,
give yourself a break for a week or two and try something else.
Personally, I usually go between TK and OBEs.  When I get bored
of TK, I move to OBEs... when I get bored of OBEs, I move back
to TK.  If you're feeling upset and angry, then it isn't going to
work.  Stay relaxed, try to have fun, and keep upbeat about it.

That does it for this newsletter :-).  Remember, send in your
comments and questions to newsletter@... - I love reading

next newsletter, and I hope to see everyone there on Feb 19th!

Newsletter #12, for February 15th, 2005

"To say that a man is made up of certain chemical elements is a
satisfactory description only for those who intend to use him as
a fertilizer."
- Hermann Joseph Muller


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hey hey!  Another installment of our bi-monthly newsletter -
hurray! :-P.  The big news around PsiPog is we are having another
online PK Party!  This Saturday, the 19th, we're going to meet in
the chat room and try to bend some silverware using PK.  We've
done it in the past, and it's been fun, so let's give it another
go :-).  If you think it sounds cool (it does! :-P), then check
out this link for more information:
http://psipog.net/calendar.php?view=1&day=1108857600

Welcome to all the new people who have joined the newsletter -
the purpose is to have everyone contribute ideas and share
questions, comments, and suggestions.  If you have something cool
to share, send it to:  newsletter@...

Don't be shy!

With that said, let's jump into the mail bag and see what others
have written these past two weeks.

"I have a major problem. At school almost every day I get
frantic, and feel like there is TOO much energy in me, and I
can't get rid of it. I tried grounding, and, surprise surprise,
it didnt work!!! Any tips?"

My comments:  Hmmm... maybe you have a medical condition?  Or
maybe you're just someone full of energy :-P.  I would normally
suggest grounding, but you said it didn't work for you...  Try
exercising some more?  Heh, I don't know :-P.  Grounding is good
when you feel intense emotion, and need to calm down and balance
yourself out.  Don't let the label throw you off - grounding can
be very simple.  Take a deep breath, visualize all that extra
emotional junk around you shooting into the ground, and then pull
in some new fresh energy.  Basically: just relax :-).  Take a
step back and chill out for a second.

sensing), and I seem to be having a very hard time learning
stuff. It's as if everywhere I look, every other person seems to
have been born with something, I had nothing.  It seems like
every skill takes me forever to do, if I ever am able to do it.
I've been practicing for over a year now, yet the best I could do
is some crappy little psi ball which is completely weak, and
falls apart in seconds. I want to know, what exactly lets people
be born with psionic abilities?"

My comments:  Don't lose sight of your goals.  Why are you into
psionics?  Personally, I do it because I find it fun to discover
new stuff about the world around me, that modern science can't
explain.  Why do you practice?  I personally ENJOY practicing.
While sometimes I get down in the dumps because I want more end
results - the truth is that I enjoy the process of getting that
end result just as much as the end result itself.  Do you see
what I'm saying?  If you're not having fun, and this isn't
something you enjoy doing, it's ok to try another hobby... I
don't think psionics is for everyone.  And the fact is - psionics
works better when you are enjoying it.  When you get all pissed
off and annoyed, it becomes harder to achieve something.  Don't
worry about comparing yourself to other people - if this is
something you enjoy, and this is something you want to work
towards - then do it!  I know it can get discouraging, but have
fun with it, and don't take it so seriously.

forums in the past, I can safely say from experience that a very
effective way on cutting down on flooding is to operate a post-

so."

My comments:  I plan on having a system similar to that in place.
I think it's a good idea - but it will take some time to tweak to
get it balanced.  Thanks for the suggestion :-).

"I thought about making a psi construct like a shield and
programming it like a calculator so it reacts to your thoughts.
For example when you "think" of something like 125 + 467 it
"catches" this thought and gives you the answer, but maybe you
have to teach it what the answer is and have to calculate things
at least once."

My comments:  What a strange idea :-P.  I've never thought of
doing something like that.  That's a good idea to try for those
of you out there who are bored of the normal stuff :-).

"From personal experience, I recommend a way which might help
people who have problem with psi wheels (no promises though). The
principle is same as that of physical exertion - when we train
with heavier weights, lighter weights seem even more lighter...
So if we try some thing harder than psi wheel (like rolling a
pencil) and then directly switch to psi wheel after trying for a
while, the psi wheel is easier."

My comments:  This is a really good tip.  I've used that idea in
the past to help myself.  Those of you that are stuck on the
psi wheel - try something HARDER (sounds a little strange at
first :-P).  Then when you move back to the psi wheel, your brain
thinks "oh jeeze, this is cake... this is way easier".

"Early this morning I was at school and a friend of mine was
complaining bitterly about his ears being blocked because of a
cold.  I didn't think much of it, except he kept on about it.
Anyway, in assembly (place where headmaster reads match reports
and we all sing hymns etc) I thought I'd play around with some
visualisation to 'help' him.  I imagined (visualised) a very
general thing about white light engulfing his head and thinking
something like "let his ears clear" or somesuch. Just as I
finished the sequence in my head, he leant over to me and said
happily "they've cleared!".  Now this scared me!  Could this
have been me or some very freakish coincidence?"

My comments:  It could have been a freakish coincidence, but it
doesn't seem like it is.  It's always hard to isolate ONE
situation and figure out what happened.  That's why I suggest
trying to recreate the experience, and try it out multiple times.
If one of your friends complains again - give it a shot, and see
what happens.  If you can do it again, that is a lot better proof
that it isn't a coincidence.  Sometimes it's hard to balance
between being overly skeptic and calling everything a
coincidence, and being overly gullable and relating everything
to psionics.  Sometimes it's a coincidence, sometimes it isn't.
Do some more tests, and try to see if you can do it again.

"About how long does it take to make a psi ball? When you learn

My comments:  It took me about a week to get my first psi ball.
How long it takes the average psion to make a psi ball depends on
what exactly they're trying to create.  Just a typical blob of
psi doesn't take long - anywhere from a few seconds, to a few
minutes.  But during this time, you aren't really "waiting" - you
should be MAKING the psi ball.  Not just sitting there waiting
for one to pop up out of nowhere :-P.

=================================================================

I thought I would include a simple exercise in this newsletter
for those bored and curious individuals out there (like me :-P)
to try out.  Every night we go to sleep.  Duh.  But what is cool
about going to sleep, is that we are altering our state of
consciousness.  I know that when people talk about meditating,
and trancing out, and doing all that weird stuff - it seems kind
of strange and foriegn.  But what you have to realize is that we
alter our state of consciousness EVERY NIGHT!  It's not really
something that is foreign, it just sounds intimidating because we
like to use big words to make us sound smart ;-P.

A simple exercise you can try every night is just to watch your-
self fall asleep.  It's not a difficult concept to understand,
but to actually DO it is very hard.  It can be very entertaining
as well :-).  Here are some sign posts you might notice while
watching yourself fall asleep:

1. Laying down in bed, getting comfortable, and closing your
eyes.  This is what we all do, every day, real simple :-P.

2. Shutting off parts of the body.  If you sit still for a while,
you can command different parts of your body to fall asleep.  Lay
there and tell your foot "go to sleep".  Then tell your calf, and
then your thigh.  Make your entire body fall asleep, but keep
your mind alert and normal.

3. Messing with your body senses.  When your body is asleep, you
can convince yourself that your body is in a position that you
know it really isn't in.  For example, you can convince yourself
that your arm is under your pillow, when really you know it's
sticking out to the side.  You can play with this to the point
of inducing that "falling" sensation, by convincing your body
that it's falling quickly, or rising back up.

4. "Seeing" and "hearing" weird stuff.  If you hang out without
falling asleep for a while, but keep your BODY asleep, your mind
starts to do some strange things.  You might get flashes of
images, or see mini-movies, or hear people you know talking.  If
you play around in this state for a while, you might notice you
can "tune in" to a certain person and hear them talk, or you can
see certain types of images.

5. Blurring the edges between "seeing" things in your head, and
actually SEEING them with your eyes.  If you hang around in the
previous stage for a while, things become more "solid".  It
starts to seem like you are really SEEING the objects, instead of
them just floating around inside of your head.

6. Enter a dream.  Given enough patience, you can actually enter
a dream, where your environment feels like a normal dream world.
If you get this far, congratulations :-).  You've induced a WILD.
Which stands for Wake Initiated Lucid Dream.  Basically: you've
watched yourself fall asleep to the point of watching the dream
FADE IN.  I've only done it a few times, but it really is cool
when you accomplish it.

And remember!  You do this EVERY NIGHT, except usually you shut
off your conscious mind after the first stage.  If you just keep
your mind aware of what's going on, you can experience some weird
stuff :-).  And while it takes some effort and will power, it
isn't out of your grasp - if you can sleep, you can do this,
because you ALREADY do this without being aware of it :-).

Thanks to everyone for writing in, and thanks to everyone out
there reading :-).  I hope you find these newsletters somewhat

Newsletter #13, for March 1st, 2005

"What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking
through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's
going on."
- Jacques Cousteau


Dear PsiPog Users,

Yoooo!  How's it going?  Good I hope :-).  If not, then maybe
some cool pictures of bent silverware would help?  The PK Party
was a ton of fun, with about 75 people total at it's height.  A
bunch of people reported bending their metal, and sent me pics!
Check them out at: http://www.psipog.net/pkp/

I'll be writing up a page to add to the Feature section some time
in the future, but until then you can check out the pics at the
above URL.

I've also updated the Q&A so that members can rate each question
and answer, to whether it was helpful or not.  Helpful ones can
be sorted to the top, and boring useless ones can be pushed
towards the end.  I figured if Amazon.com uses the same idea,
then it's a good move for PsiPog.net too ;-P.

Speaking of ideas - I'm looking for ideas on how to improve
PsiPog!  We're going to eventually have a forum, but that won't
be for a while, so in the meantime I want to be open to what
everyone else thinks could improve the website.  So if you have
ideas on how things could work better, or have a totally insane
idea about psionics that we could get together online and try
out, then send it in!  E-mail: ideas@...

And as usual, specifically with this newsletter we like questions
and comments too.  If you have something to write in for the
newsletter, then send it to: newsletter@...

That said, let's check what people have sent in the past two
weeks...

=================================================================

"Hey, as long as I can remember I've had natural abilities.
Lately they've shut down.  I use them daily for certain things,
and I could send off pings long distance, but lately I havent
been able to send any type of ping.  I was wondering if you knew
anything that would help?  Another question is that when I get
really mad, my abilities become powerful - I mean I've thrown
things at people with TK and it scares me.  I was wondering if I
could harness it with out getting so angry."

My comments: To answer your first question - sometimes we just
have off days.  Like any other skill, some days we are just on
the ball and can do anything, and other days we can't do one
thing right.  Try to roll with the punches and pick yourself up -
the skills aren't gone, just try again later.  For your second
question, I can't really speak from personal experience.  Usually
I WANT things to go flying across the room... I don't want to
STOP it from happening :-P.  But I do feel your pain in a smaller
scale - I've had "outbursts" which wern't pleasant from intense
emotion.  Shielding can help, but also dealing with your anger
before it becomes a big problem can prevent it too.  Harnessing
the same power in controlled conditions is really hard - if you
can figure out a way to do it, let me know ;-).  The only
solution I know of is steady practice.

"I've been doing Tai Chi for about a year and a half now, and had
formerly been apprenticed by a chi gung guy.  I left because he
wasn't credible.  Anyway, when I form a ball of chi, or psi, it
is like magnets that are of both polarities at times.  Though I
find that I can control the polarity.  Also, I have felt a
marshmellowy feeling at times.  But, what I was wondering is if
you guys (or girls) had any other type of feelings?  I just feel
a bit limited when I think about the possibility of there being
more sensations of any sort."

My comments: I personally usually feel warm or cold sensations on
my skin.  A magnetic feeling is popular too.  Pushing and pulling
of different fingers... or heck, sometimes you can actually SEE
them with your eyes.  I recommend not worrying about one
specific feeling or another... focus on controlling what you
have.  Can you move the feeling to another part of your body?
Can you ball it up, throw it, and catch it?  Can you have someone
else feel it too?  Can you verify it with some external device?

"Howdy. I have come to the conclution that... well... How can you
practice something that does not work at first? When you imply
practicing with this stuff, do you mean try different stuff until
it works, or to just stick to a few techniques, and try over and
over again, and then if right, it will eventually work?

As for me... I can't make a psi ball... I can't make a psi dot!
Anyway. For some reason I find it entertaining and fun just to
practice something that does not work for me at the moment (even
though I keep a positive mind convinced it will work one day)."

My comments: To answer your first question, look at any other
skill.  How do gymnists learn to do backflips?  They can't do one
at first, but after a while of trying, they can eventually get
it.  When you just start out, I suggest doing a basic exercise
over and over again until you get it to work.  The basic
exercises have worked for many people, so chances are it'll work
for you too.  When you get more into it, and have some success,
then start branching off and seeing if different things work
better or worse.

Getting psi to work for you from the basic exercises shouldn't
take too long... perhaps a week for the average person.  Start
simple, and build on it.  Read the first couple chapters of my
eBook, located at: http://psipog.net/ebook.php

"Hey! I've been able to make psi-balls since I was young but
never been able to think of anything to use them for. Here's what
I've recently used one to do: I was meditating one night when I
felt an urge to make a psi-ball and then I decided to program it
to remember things for me and notify me via thoughts. Since then
I've been able to remember all my school work and even began
remembering dreams (which I hardly ever remember even having!).
So now I've also made a psi-ball to improve my response times in
Math and Science, I sort of embed the ball with sciency thoughts
and told it to help me by bringing important things to my
attention as I needed them, almost like improving my brain's
filing system. So, if you can make psi-balls good then maybe
these are some other uses you can find for them!"

My comments: Awesome! :-D

"I've got 4 years of various meditations behind my back and have
been practicing psi off and on. I haven't had any real
difficulties with it until I get to projecting things past my
"range". Additionally I find that no matter how relaxed I am, the
back of my neck and base of my skull will feel instense pressure
and tension while working with psi. Basically that's 2
questions; what are some things I could do to increase the
projection and range of my constructs and has anyone else had a
problem with tension in the neck during practice? And if so have
they found a solution?"

My comments: Hmmm, I think you've stumped me on both questions.
For your first question, about increasing your sending "range",
perhaps the article by Brandon can help you, "Increased Sending
Through Pinging".  URL: http://psipog.net/show.php?id=10141
I've never had neck pain from practicing psionics either.  Maybe
some of the readers in the audience can help?  I would normally
suggest just relaxing and chilling out, but you said that you
already do that.  Maybe you have some junk built up in your field
that is causing the problem?  Clean out the neck area the next
time you meditate, and maybe that will help.

=================================================================

For this last section, I want to recommend a cool website for
people to mess around with and play some psi games.  If you have
some time to kill, point your browser to: http://www.gotpsi.org
They have a bunch of fun games that are psi related, and they
measure all the statistics stuff for you automagically!  For some
tips, you might want to read the article on PsiPog.net at:

http://psipog.net/show.php?id=10110

In it, Vigil lists some tips of things that worked for him.  Try
and see how you do :-).

=================================================================

Thanks for reading!  Remember: submit your comments, questions,
suggestions, exercises, or whatever else you think would be cool
to: newsletter@... - don't be shy!  Share your thoughts
with everyone :-).

On a last exciting/sad note, I won't be writing newsletters for
a while.  I joined the United States Air Force, and I'll be
flying out to Texas for Basic Training in 2 weeks! :-O.  I'll be
stuck without internet for about 7 weeks - but I plan to jump
right back into writing for the newsletter when I get out.  In
the meantime, I'll be passing off my duties to other mods, so
hopefully the site won't fall apart while I'm gone :-P.  I'm
going to write some exercises down for mods to copy/paste into
future newsletters before I leave, but I won't be able to respond
directly to the e-mail.  Wish me luck :-).

Hiya Poggers! Our fearless leader Peebrain has left for bootcamp,
and in his absence we (Annie, Mannen, and Roy) will do our best
to continue to put forth spectacular newsletters!

We have received tons of e-mails, so let's go through a few of
them and we'll try to answer your questions.

Hi!
Lately I've observed an interesting thing with
visualisation. I visualise, e.g. an orange and I cut
it in half by a knife or something, then I merge it.
Everything's OK, but after a few seconds the orange
fall apart in half again. My friends have the same
problem as me. Is it possible to avoid visualizing the half
splitting again?

Our Comments:
I think this is a very common problem, actually. I've had it
myself several times, and I remember struggling with it when
I was very young.  Again, the secret word is practice. Try
visualizing a whole scene, keep adding more and more detail to
it, and if you lose it, start over. Keep doing this until you
can keep a lot of details.  I hope this helps!

This is strange...
I cannot make a psiball yet (I'm more a telepath and empath),
but I needed to make a shield (I was getting overwhelmed). I
tried making a psiball, but once again I was not able to under
stress. I tried a new method. I visualized psi moving out of my
body, making a bubble around me, and continuously circulating
and turning incoming emotions into psi and using them to feed the
shield. It only works in high emotion areas (a.k.a. school) but
it is interesting. It's not a "hard" shield, it doesn't block,
but it does turn down the volume considerably.

Our Comments:
That's a good idea Packy!  This is a good example of doing what
works for you.  For the most part we all function the same way
psionically, however our methods and visualizations for doing such
vary greatly.  As far as your shield is concerned, Packy, you are
only programming it to stabilize itself with incoming energies.
You can try to program it to be a "hard" shield as well, which
could help to further dampen or block out any forms of unwanted
telepathy or energy.

Hi there!
I am just wondering if anyone can help me with looking
into the future. Actually, a few years ago I had an experience of
seeing a scene for about 3 sec. and after 2 weeks from that time,
there it was, the one I saw from my vision. It was like this: I
was on a boat and sitting on the side, watching outside the
window when in less than a second the view a few feet away
suddenly changed while inside the boat remained at the present.

Our Comments:
Wow, sounds like a case of spontaneous precognition.  Here's what
you can do to try and train yourself to receive more precognitive
information: each night try to make predictions about the next
day.  Be sure to record all of your predictions in a notebook to
keep track of your hits and misses. What you predict can be as
simple as what will happen in school, or more complex predictions,
such as major world events.  I'd start small and work your way up,
though.  Good luck! (On a side note, I'd like to give credit to
Rainsong who originally informed me of this method of practice.)

Hello, I have a question: a friend and I have been practicing
telekinesis but we haven't had very good results. Sometimes we
send some colors to our minds, they are sometimes correct, but
some others aren't. Could you please tell me an exercise guide
and also techniques about psi balls?

Our Comments:
Ok, well first it's good to see that you're experimenting with
multiple abilities rather than sticking with just one.  Whether
it is telekinesis, telepathy, or energy manipulation, it cannot
be stressed enough that practice plays a tremendous role in your
improvement!  Practice, practice, practice!  As far as exercise
guides and techniques for psiballs, there are plenty on the
psipog website.  Best of luck!

=================================================================

Ok guys, let's finish this newsletter off with a practice tool
that some people may overlook.  It's a simple deck of cards.  You
can use them to practice just about every ability.  Here's a few
examples:
1) Psychometry: Shuffle the deck and place 5 cards face down in
front of you.  Try to guess the color, suit, and number/face of
each of the cards when you touch the objects.
2) Telepathy: Find a partner and have each person take half of the
deck.  Go back and forth sending and receiving the cards.  Playing
cards have both shapes and colors, though not as many as you would
encounter playing a game of S+C.
3) Telekinesis: This one will require a bit of imagination.  You
can throw a card in the air, and then try to throw off it's flight
course while it's in mid air.  Stack two cards against each other
and try to knock them over with TK.
4) Precognition: My brother and I used to play a game we dubbed
"Who Will Run Out of Cards First".  You'll need two people for
this game.  Shuffle the deck, and give each person half of the
deck.  Figure out who will go first, and then that person will
try to guess what card he will flip over next from his half of
the deck.  When someone gets a hit (guesses correctly), he stops
guessing and the other person does the same thing.  The first
person to run out of cards is the loser.

Good luck with this, and remember, have fun with it!

Newsletter #15, for June 24th, 2005

"Knowledge has three degrees - opinion, science, and
illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of
the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition."
- Plotinus


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hello hello!  It's been a while since the last newsletter, but
never fear!  We are always working hard on one thing or another.

Welcome to all the new people who have joined since our last
newsletter (on March 15th).  Usually we have a newsletter every
two weeks, but things have been busy these past couple months.
But things will be getting back on track now that we're getting
back into the groove of things.  I no longer plan on sending out
newsletters on Tuesdays - instead I'm going to aim for Friday or
Saturday (every other week).

This newsletter is going to be a little different from previous
newsletters.  Usually I read the mail people have sent in, and
answer random questions or give tips on something psi related.
I'll continue to do that in future newsletters, but for this one
I want to talk about what's going on at PsiPog.net.

=================================================================

First things first - the bad news.  Annie and Jespers (aka Gnome)
have left permanently for life reasons.  PsiPog.net has an all
volunteer staff, so if life gets crowded, it's too hard to keep
up with it.  But hey, that's ok... Thanks to both of them for all
the hard work they've put in over the years.  Both of them were
highly influential in the organization, and it won't be the same
without them.

On to the good news though - future plans and updates!

If you've been keeping up with the news on PsiPog.net/home.php ,
the first thing you should notice is that we have a new article
from Yumper and Oneta on Remote Viewing.  It explains Coordinate
Remote Viewing along with a bunch of tips.  It's our first RV
article, so check it out!

Another thing you might have seen in the news is that we held a
meeting on the future of PsiPog about different ideas on how to
make PsiPog a better place.  The two main topics were the chat
and the forums.

=================================================================

While we don't have forums right now, they are in development and
will be up... eventually :-P.  We decided at the meeting that
a "karma" based system, with different user levels (like GameFAQs
for you gamers out there) would be the best.  PsiPog is too big
to have it constantly moderated by staff memebers, so we're going
to give the power to the people!

How it works is when you join PsiPog.net, you can't post on the
message board until you receive enough points.  But you can vote
on posts.  You receive 10 points every day that you vote on 5
or more posts (similar to Newgrounds).  Once you get a certain
number of points, you are allowed to post.  The more points you
have, the more your vote is worth, and the more influence you
get over what is allowed and what isn't.  Also, the more points,
the more features you have on your account.

When one of your messages gets deleted, or you do something dumb,
you lose points.  That way people are motivated to vote, be good,
and everyone can moderate each other.

Obviously we will still have some moderators, but they won't have
to work constantly to keep up with everything.  At this time,
everything is still in development, but that's roughly how it
should work eventually.  You can check out the updates by
visiting our forum website at: http://www.psipogbb.net

=================================================================

The other main topic at the meeting was the chat.  We couldn't
really come up with a good way to solve all the problems... but
I have good news.  Towards the end of the meeting, someone
suggested I add a bot (a chatter that is controlled by a
computer).  That gave me an idea.

Soon the chat will be changing so that anyone can join in any
chat client!  How I will do this is a little complicated, but
here is the short version:

Right now, our chat channel is password protected, so only people
with the right password can get in.  The PsiPog Chat Client knows
the password, and therefore can get in (if you aren't banned,
of course :-P).

What we're going to do is remove the password protection, but
replace it with an "invite only" channel.  That means you can
only join the chat channel if you are invited.  When you connect
to the chat, you will have to login to your PsiPog.net account
by private messaging our bot with your username/password.  If
your account isn't banned, our bot will invite you into the
channel.

I know it sounds a little technical, but the features of this
new system include:

1. Any chat client can join - you will no longer be forced to
    chat with the PsiPog Chat Client (but you still can if you
    want to).

2. Ban evasion is a LOT harder than it currently is (and it's
    already really hard to evade bans).  That means less idiots in
    the channel, and less work for the moderators (yay!).

3. Everyone still gets the normal freedom of a normal IRC chat
    room, so no more bitching about how unfair PsiPog is, and all
    that other crap that people complain about :-P.

This is what I'm currently working on, and should be done pretty
soon (I'm thinking a month or two?).  So look out for that!

=================================================================

Thanks for reading - sorry this newsletter didn't have anything
psionic related, but it'll be back to normal in two weeks.

If you have specific suggestions and ideas for PsiPog.net, then
send them to peebrain@... - if you have normal questions
on psionic issues, either submit them to the Q and A, or send
them in to the newsletter at: newsletter@...

See you in two weeks!

Newsletter #16, for July 9th, 2005

"Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine
processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the
answer."
- Robert Graves


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hey hey!  Another two weeks have gone by, and I've got some
updates on PsiPog.net for you!  I've permanently switched the
chat over to the new system, which means you can use any IRC
client you want to connect.  For instructions on how to chat,
and the new rules, visit:  http://psipog.net/chat.php

In the next couple weeks I will be updating the PsiPog Chat
Client so it's compatible with the new system, but until then
you'll have to rely on mIRC or some other client.

I wanted to post some new articles today so I could tell everyone
about them in this newsletter, but I decided to post them
tomorrow instead... but hey!  Why not tell you about them
anyways?

The first article is by me, and is titled "How to Measure/Verify
Your Skills".  The article explains different ways to test your
skills, and measure your progress.

The second article is by me, and is titled "Product Review: The
Gateway Experience - Part 1".  In this article, I review The
Gateway Experience, sold by Hemi-Sync.com.  In this first part,
I am reviewing the first half of the program... Later I will
write a second part on the second half :-P.

And the third article is by SunTzu, with a pending title.  It's
about research into telepathy, and explains how telepathy has
been proven by science in the past multiple times.  It also
discusses some theories on how telepathy works by the scientists
who performed the original tests.  It's an awesome read :-).

Check for those articles on Sunday... HOPEFULLY they'll be up by
then.

Other than that, let's jump into the mail bag!

"This is a game I play with my Pyrokinetic brother. You must
start a camp fire somewhere safe and let it settle down where it
is burning steadely. You must know how to do the basics of
Pyro/Cryokinesis and have a friend of the opposite of you. The
object of the game is to keep the fire going through the time
limit(Pyro), or put it out(Cryo). This is fun, increases your
skill, and boosts your self confidence! The time limit is realy
up to you."

My comments: Cool :-).  Just be safe :-).

"Hi, I am very new to Psionics, and I (like most people,
probably) have various questions about TK and Pyro.  I was
wondering what is some of the biggest things anyone on the site
has moved with their mind?  I was also wondering if anyone has
ever heard of lighting a cigarette, cigar, etc. with pyro and if
that was possible?  I am too new, I dont even know if I am
getting the psi-ball or not to work, but just some random
questions."

My comments: NI has reported moving a rolling char, and Rainsong
has reported moving a canoe (if I remember correctly).  I imagine
lighting a cigarette is possible, but I haven't heard of anyone
specifically doing that.  Maybe someone out there reading knows
of some more information.

"My friend and I have been studying telekinesis for about 10
months. While we have both had success in rotating a pin wheel,
my friend is learing quite a bit slower then I am. Mostly to lack
of time to practice. I have the ability to move the wheel nearly
everyday and he has only moved it a couple of times. Can you
suggest anything I could do to help him out such as psionic
exercises. Maybe if we work together he could become "stronger".
Thanks for you help."

My comments: I haven't worked with people in person except for a
few occasions, so I might not be the best person to ask.
Nonetheless... we can come up with some ideas to try at least,
right?  The first thing that comes to mind is just have both of
you try to spin the pinwheel in the same direction.  See if you
can get it to spin really fast.  If you can do that, try moving
something bigger, like rolling a pen or moving pocket lint.  Be
sure to maintain a relaxed and fun environment... maybe make a
game out of something.  I found that I could teach people the
pinwheel quickly when I showed them how "easy" it was, and gave
them the impression that they could do it, and it was fun.  A lot
of it is state of mind.  Maybe have two pinwheels set up, and see
who can make a full rotation first.

"I suggest that peebrain writes a small article about practical
side and use of psi during time in the Air Force. Nothing big,
just a few examples of use of psi, and what "benefits" he got
from that. I think that that would be much more motivating than
the just "how to" articles on PsiPog. Same for the other staff on
PsiPog, if they have some interesting or funny event from life
that includes using psi, why not share it with community?"

My comments: That's a good idea :-).  I know people really
enjoyed reading my journals because they included real life
experiences.  Why not start now?  Earlier today, my friend was
listening to music and I blurted out "Foo Fighters".  He goes,
"That's amazing, I was just thinking to myself, 'Who sings this
song?'".  The other day I had a dream about my mom, and it
motivated me to call her and tell her about it.  It turns out she
had similar events happening in real life, and was worrying about
them.  In my training with the Air Force, I listen to Morse Code
and type the letters that I hear.  A lot of times I will trance
out, and start to type the letters before they are even
transmitted to me.  It can be a little frustrating though,
because the program will mark them "incorrect" because I typed
them too soon :-P.

couple of minutes is my hands get hotter then usual and my thumb

magnetic feeling, I havent gotten this feeling, Have I made a PSI
ball or am I doing something wrong?"

My comments: Nope, that's normal - it sounds like you've made
one.  Different people feel different things sometimes... I
personally believe it depends on the visualization, and the
psion's individual beliefs on what energy "should" feel like.

"I was reading the latest newsletter I was excied that you are
adding a forum and used this as an excuse to getting back into

the value of the points system or karma system but will that
hinder those of us that may not always have time to spend keeping
up on posts or like to leave your 2 cents here and there?
Personally, psi is not an active part of my life schedule right
now, I have just transitioned from school to an 8 hour job, yet
still have the usual family obligations."

My comments: I can see where you're coming from.  With the way I
plan on setting it up, it would only take 5 days, at about 5
minutes of effort per day, to enable yourself to post.  I don't
think that is requiring TOO much.  I don't want to make it
impossible for people like you to post and participate - but I
also want to give people rewards for participating more.  We'll
just have to try it out and see if we have the right balance...
if things seem to unfair for people like you, I might shift the
requirements a little bit to make it easier.

Newsletter #17, for July 22nd, 2005

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking
they don't have any."
- Alice Walker


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hello!  I hope everyone is doing well :-).  Let's see, what news
do we have?  Well hmmm... how about... FOUR new articles!  Yay!

How to Measure/Verify Your Skills by me
Product Review: The Gateway Experience - Part 1 by me
Researching Psi - Part 1, Telepathy by SunTzu
Out of Body Experiences by me.

Check out http://psipog.net/home.php for links in the news, or
see the "Recent Articles" list on http://psipog.net/articles.php

Anything else?  Not really... The new chat has been working well,
and I will eventually be updating the PsiPog Chat Client to
support the new system (but it will be optional to use).  I've
been working on the forums during my free time, and they're
coming along slowly but steadily.

Other than that, let's jump into the mail bag!

=================================================================

"I want to ask you what do yo think is the relation between
psionics (understood as the voluntary production of psychic
phenomena) and the events observed in ouija sessions. I've been
present in lots of sessions and I've seen floating tables and
glasses, a three-seat sofa moving violently (with people seated
on), spontaneous writing in sheets of paper, "presents" brought
from another places, and some more weird stuff. What do you
think? Have you ever seen similar shit?"

My comments: No I haven't!  But that would be pretty crazy to
witness.  The ouija board is outside the scope of PsiPog.net,
but I wanted to comment on this anyways because I find it
amazing that you actually experienced these things first hand.
From a skeptical/scientific point of view, I recommend trying to
reproduce these events while recording it on tape, or something
like that.  Investigate.  Think logically.  Try switching things
up and see what happens.

"Is it possible for psi skills to go in cycles... I haven't been
able to use mine as much as I want the last six months and
suddenly they all just hit me like a bag full of bricks. I am
natural with many psi abilities/gifts but this just never
happened to me before.  Another question is do you know anyone I
can talk to that can help me control my empathy because it's
really getting out of hand an I can't control it."

My comments: To answer your first question, yes - skills can go
in cycles.  Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.
Six months seems a little long for a cycle, but it's possible.
I personally go in cycles of about 1-2 months.

To answer your second question - I can't point you to someone
specifically who can help you with your empathy problems, but I
can give you some advice on how to control it.  The common
solution is to shield.  Shield shield shield.  Learn to create a
bubble shield, and visualize the shield blocking emotions of
other people, and keeping your emotions inside untainted.  Check
out my article on shields, titled "Common and Not-So-Common
Shields" - if you are still having trouble after a week, grab me
in the chat and I might be able to help you one on one.  But
please try it out for a week and see if you get progress.

"I have an idea for TK. I dont know if that already exist but
well, here I go: it's turning a fan on so the pinwheel starts
spinning in one direction, then with TK you try to spin it in the
other direction."

My comments: Good idea :-).  In fact, sometimes people find it
easier to stop objects, or redirect already-moving objects
(rather than starting objects from rest).  Another exercise you
can try is to roll a marble, and try to get it to change it's
path while it is rolling.  Some people find that easier, so give
it a shot!

"I just tried something out with Psi balls that's pretty cool,
and I thought I'd share it. I found an alternate way that works
quite well for me to transfer the Psi from my abdomen region to
the palms of my hands. I sing it out. I guess it helps me to
feel the energy more easily... who knows? But I just visualized
the Psi comming out with my voice and into my hands, and it gave
pretty good results. It might be my imagination, but I think I
may have event seen an outline of the Psi ball when I did this.
If you like to sing, give it a try!"

My comments:  Dang!  Great idea!  I've never heard of this, but
I bet it would work for some people :-).

"After some practice I found that the psi wheel is affected a lot
by the person's state of mind. (just like it was stated in the
July 9th newsletter)...for example I would finally get the wheel
to move and I would get a little excited and it would stop
instantly.  I became frustrated due to the abrupt stops and the
paper wouldnt move at all which would inevitably drop my
confidence.

So I tried to find a way to make myself 'feel' my confidence
building due to the fact that confidence plays a large role in
psi skill.

You start off staring at the psi wheel like normal (do what you
would normally do) and if the paper moves, good for you, keep on
doing what your doing... but if the paper doesnt move and just
sits there after several minutes and starts to look like
frustration is on its way, DO NOT get mad.  Close your eyes and
keep them closed and tell yourself that the paper is moving right
now.  'Feel' the paper moving in between your hands, 'know' that
it is moving.  Do this for however long it takes to 'know and
feel' the paper moving, then tell yourself that the paper will
stop moving now.  'Feel' it stop; 'know' it's stopping.

Now open your eyes and behold, the paper has stopped moving.  You
know the paper had moved and you know you have sucessfully
stopped it when you felt you couldnt do it before with your eyes
open.  Now go on with your regular training.

I know this technique doesn't really sound much like a 'real'
technique but it has been an invaluable tool to me during times
where the paper would just not move an inch.  I would start to
get frustrated and do the technique, and feel much more relaxed
and confident (almost like a mini-meditation exercise)."

My comments:  This seems to be an extension of fooling your
subconscious, plus it adds a relaxing twist to it.  You're right,
confidence does play a role.  This mental exercise might not
produce results directly, but it sounds like it will put you in
the right state of mind to GET results.  Leave the frustration
behind, just know you can do it, and relax! :-)

Newsletter #18, for August 6th, 2005

"Science does not know its debt to imagination."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Dear PsiPog Users,

Howdy howdy!  No real updates on PsiPog.net lately, and it'll
probably die down a bit for a few weeks.  I've just graduated
part of my Tech. School (in the Air Force), and I'll be moving
from Arizona to Flordia... which means I gotta pack up my
computer and get a new internet service.  I plan to be back
online around the 26th of August - but until then, there won't be
any updates on PsiPog.net.

On the plus side, I am working on the new forums, and a new
eBook, so some cool things are on the way - but you'll just have
to chill for a little bit :-P.

Alrighty, let's jump into the mail bag:

=================================================================

shogun asks:
"Hey I've got a question that I've been wondering about ever
since I got into psionics. Why is it that you (and people as good
as you in psionics) never use it for gain. For example, why don't
you ever go to a casino one night and TK the roulette wheel or
read people's minds in card games. It seems with a skill like
that you could be the next poker champion. Haven't you ever
considered it?"

My comments: What makes you think we _don't_ do that?  I've used
psi in poker games to win, and I know other mods have too.  Just
because we don't talk about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
There is this myth that people with psychic skills can only use
it for "pure" and "good" reasons - this is complete bull.
Psychic abilities are SKILLS, and you can use that skill for
whatever you want.

=================================================================

Eric writes:
"When I was young I randomly had OBE's.  I never told anybody
about this because there were no open minded people within 20
miles from my house.  Anyways I finaly was able to sneek onto my
dad's computer to see if anyone could help me with control my
OBE's. Though most of it didn't help I was able to find one guy
who really seemed to understand what he was talking about...
Robert Bruce.

I'm sending you the link to his explination of Astral Projection
I hope it will help.  AstralDynamics.com

I was also hoping you would put the rope tecnique in your OBE
article.  It has really helped me gain control over my OBE's"

My comments: Robert Bruce is a strange character... I'm in the
process of reading his book (also titled Astral Dynamics), and
parts of me are impressed by his knowledge, but other parts of me
are very skeptical and question how he actually KNOWS this stuff.
Although people have reported that his techniques work, so he
must be doing SOMETHING right :-).  Either way, I'm holding off
my judgement until I finish his book and try some things he's
suggested.  Psionics and OBEs are very complicated, and we should
ALWAYS be skeptical of someone who seems to have all the answers.

=================================================================

Rackjack writes:
"I've read a good bit of stories of people using TK, but all I'm
reading is mini things -- rolling a marble, moving a pen,
spinning a psi wheel -- and some things that are considered
macro-PK don't really seem too impressive.  Some basic articles
say that anyone can use psi, but what about those who have been
able to use it like a toy?  So far I have only been successful in
doing TK without trying (and some a bit impressive - sliding a
chair across a room from watching a horror movie), but when I do
try, I exhaust myself to almost passing out.  I have been able to
use basic psi just for the fun of it, but for people like me, is
it even remotely possible to enhance your psychic abilities to
the point that even macro-PK could not affect you?"

My comments: I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think
you're asking: How come you can easily move things when you
aren't trying, but when you do try it's really hard and
exhausting?  My answer would be: I don't know :-).  But what you
describe is actually pretty normal (if that makes you feel any
better :-P).  When the conscious mind gets out of the way, it
seems the subconscious mind/body has little trouble moving
things.  Stories of poltergeisting talk about amazing things -
levitating objects, making them fly across the room, moving
furniture and other large objects - while stories of controlled
PK pale in comparison.  Rolling pens, spinning paper, etc.  Why
is it like this?  We haven't really figured that out yet.

=================================================================

"Well I made my psiweel spin but I'm sure everyone knows how to
do that.  I'm writing because of my method; for such a long time
I could not spin the weel until I shot a spiraling beam of psi at
the tip of the psiweel and it spun!"

My comments: Cool :-).  Thanks for sharing.  This is why it's
important to invent your own methods.

cauf writes:
"When I try to do TK it seems to make wind push something. Say if
I look at a paper and want to push it I can feel wind going down
my arm and push the object. But if I sit in a room with no way of
making any wind at all the wind still seems to come or a cold
feeling comes down my arm. Is this normal?"

My comments: It sounds like you're pushing psi down your arm.  Is
it normal?  Eh... yes and no.  It doesn't surprise me that you
can move things with that technique.  Experiment with it and see
what else you can do.  Can you send it down both arms?  Can you
spin multiple psi wheels?  Can you spin them in different
directions?

=================================================================

Diego writes:
"A friend of mine told me that some "bad", powerful and ancient
entity has "found me" but she told me not to worry too much as
she has put some kind of protective charm around me. I thought
that if I tried having an OBE it would posses my "empty" body.
I've read about some kind of security measures that the body
uses to prevent this like the silver cord and telepathic bocking.
Do you think it is safe for ME to have an OBE while this entity
has the knowledge of my existence?"

My comments: The first thing I am skeptical of is your friends
statement that some ancient entity has "found you".  How can she
tell?  Why do you trust her?  Other than that, there are REPORTS
of things you can do to protect yourself - but I've never heard
reasons WHY these things actually protect you.  Nor have I ever
heard of other entities possessing "empty" bodies!  I personally
think it's just another thing people worry about because they
don't understand what is going on.  We fear the unknown.  If you
feel better after having "protection", then go for it.  I
personally think it's all myths and superstition though. (Another
question to ponder is: why does some ancient entity care about
you?  Don't you think they have better things to do? :-P)

meeting that was had but here goes:

Instead of stopping people from posting more than every five
minutes or something, only limit the time between posting in the
same thread. That should be good for people who dont spend much
time online and usualy post their stuff in "bursts" and leave
till the next day; and at the time avoid people from flooding
places with nonsense."

My comments: That sounds like a good idea!  I'll have to remember
that if things aren't working out.

Hey hey!

Welcome to all the new members of the Official PsiPog.net
Newsletter.  We have over 2,200 people signed up, and it's cool to
see so many people interested in pushing modern science to the
limits, and discovering new things about reality :-).

USUALLY I send out a newsletter every two weeks, but this past month
has been a little crazy.  I still don't have internet access (I'm
using a lab computer), so it's hard for me to work on ANYTHING
related to PsiPog, unfortunately.  I'm in Technical Training School
for the United States Air Force, so I don't have a whole lot of
control over my life (anyone in the military knows what I mean :-P).
Nonetheless, I keep bugging them about internet, and they've said I
should be online in a week.  Of course, this is what they keep saying
every week, but this time they sound serious :-P.

I wanted to e-mail everyone and let you guys know that I still plan
on sending out newsletters in the future, but right now it's just too
hard.  Hopefully in another week or two I will be back online, and I
can continue the newsletters like normal.

Some good news though: the newsletter is now over a year old!  Who

Newsletter #19, for September 30th, 2005

"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new
facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them."
- Sir William Bragg


Dear PsiPog Users,

Howdy!  Sorry for such a long delay from the last newsletter.  Oh
well, life happens :-P.  I do have some cool news: I made an
updated design for PsiPog.net, which I plan on implementing
pretty soon.  This new design was made with three goals in mind:
1. Faster loading, 2. Link to future forums, and 3. Look cooler.
Check out this preview: http://psipog.net/newlayout.png

Other than that, I have a lot of mail built up from the weeks
gone by, so let's jump into the mail bag.

=================================================================

"I think that the reason PK is much more successful when you are
not focusing because even when you believe in it, if you've been
brought up your whole life learning that these things aren't real
then your subconscious is going to believe it's not, even though
you WANT to believe it is. Follow me? An idea for those who can't
seem to do PK, try doing something else AS you are practicing PK
to "distract" your subconscious into a book, a TV show, or
something else."

My comments: Cool idea.  Sounds like an interesting theory -
perhaps it will work for some people out there who are having
trouble.

=================================================================

Shane writes:
"In the last newsletter there was a question that had something
to do with TK along the lines of, "Why can't I do TK when I
focus, and when I don't focus, I can do TK?" Well, this may be a
long shot, but here goes. I have been reading a book that gave me
a few good ideas to psionics. One idea has an answer (kind of).
Basically, it's S.E.P. - Somebody Else's Problem. That is, for an
example they gave, if some one wants to make something dissapear,
there is no possible way the conscious can do this. But if we
were to make it "somebody else's problem" (i.e. our subconcious)
it's basicly already done. So, if we were to think for TK, "oh,
it will move on it's own, besides, it's not my problem" it might
be possible to move it. This is just one thought."

My comments: Interesting thought - try it out and see if you get
results.

=================================================================

Moonman writes:
"I have been practicing psi for some time, and I have been having
some real trouble with OOBE's. I can easily have one when I sleep
and have a lucid dream. But when I try to do it from a trance, I
just can't do it.  I have only been able to have an OOBE from a
trance once, and it was on accident. Do you have any tips?"

My comments: I'm the other way around - I find it very hard to
have OBEs from lucid dreams, but find it a lot easier to do them
in trance.  My question is: why do you care HOW the OBE happens?
Getting OUT is the hard part - and you've done it!  Of course,
if you're just curious and want to push your limits, then that's
cool :-).

Diabolus writes:
"I was reading the PsiPog Newsletter #18, and was concerned about
the following advise that you gave to Diego:

>> Diego writes: "A friend of mine told me that some "bad",
>> powerful and ancient entity has "found me" ... Do you think it
>> is safe for ME to have an OBE while this entity has the
>> knowledge of my existence?"
>>
>> My comments: The first thing I am skeptical of is your friends
>> statement that some ancient entity has "found you". ...
>> Another question to ponder is: why does some ancient entity
>> care about you? Don't you think they have better things to do?

I'm just wanting to say a few things about your response, and I
do not intend any offence, but it did seem pretty ignorant and I
don't believe what you have said is very valid. First of all, you
seem to be making a less of a deal about this than it actually
is. Diego's friend may be an advanced psychic and know very well
if he is being followed by a negative entity.  Why does an
ancient entity care about him? Why does any? Food, basically...
If an entity wants to be able to stay at this level of existence,
it needs to feed energy from people. I'd suggest to Diego that he
reads Psychic Self Defence, as that will give a good idea about
what he's facing, and how to counteract it."

My comments: The reason I didn't give that advice is because I
don't believe that advice is very helpful.  Your advice relies on
three VERY BIG "ifs".  If ancient entities feed off people for
food, and If Diego's friend is an advanced psychic, and If the
authors of Psychic Self Defence know what they're talking about,
THEN you have given good advice.  Those are HUGE questions that
you have glossed over very quickly.  In all honestly, Diego's
question falls outside the scope of PsiPog.net (we don't deal
with "ancient entities" and other "negative entities"), and the
only reason I answered it was to give him a different perspective
that he might not have expected.

Yev writes:
"Hey I'm a big fan of your site, but I have always wondered why
you never touch on the mirror aspect of the supernatural.
Whenever I gaze at it I always feel a different presence in the
reflection and it always alarms me. I was wondering if you've
ever heard of this?"

My comments: I've heard of it, and I don't really know what is
going on.  If I had to guess, I would theorize that your mind is
just playing tricks on you.  I've done the exercise and had the
same alarming feeling - it's indeed strange.  We don't touch on
it at PsiPog.net because it seems a little useless.  It almost
feels more like an optical illusion rather than something
supernatural (to me, at least).

=================================================================

Admiral N writes:
"Is it normal to forget an OBE that you had even last night?
Also, I tried pyrokinesis on an already extinguished match.  I
concentrated my psi on it and imagined it getting evenloped in a
blanket of fire.  I opened my eyes and I saw the match
steaming/smoking.  I didn't believe it and I blinked for a second
and then it was gone... Did I do it or was it just my brain
making my eyes see what I was trying to do?"

My comments: To answer your first question - yes, a lot of times
it's hard to remember entire OBEs.  I suspect it's related to
being in an altered state of consciousness close to sleep, where
your memory starts to shut down.  To answer your Pyro-PK
question: I don't know!  Sounds like a cool experience though.
My advice is to try and REPEAT what you did.  It's always hard to
figure out if ONE event was something psychic or fake - if you
can make it happen over and over again, then it's a lot easier to
figure out what is going on.

=================================================================

Rackjack asks:
"I know trying too hard to use Psi can make you pass out and
such, but is it possible to train to use strong amounts of psi
without being affected at all by it?"

My comments: Yes - the body learns to adapt to handle more over
time.

=================================================================

Psiballer writes:
"I've been trying to do OBEs for about 3 days now and I'm not
having much luck. When I'm laying still, am I supposed to have my
eyes opened or closed? And when I do actually complete an OBE, is
it like looking through a different set of eyes, or is it like
you can feel your whole "body" is separted from your physical
body? Because when I tried, once I felt like a separate pair of
eyes were going through my house. Like, I saw my celing, but in
front of that vision I saw a clear vision of my house, like
outside my door was the hallway, etc."

My comments: Your eyes should be closed while you lay still.
Your experience sounds sort of like an OBE, but it also sounds
pretty strange :-P.  I honestly don't know what you experienced,
or whether that was an OBE or not.  It depends on how "real" the
second vision was.  OBEs are not visualizations in your mind;
they often feel so real that you might confuse it with really
walking around in normal life.  As I state on PsiPog.net, there
have been times when I've fallen out of my body while in bed, and
thought I actually physically fell out of my bed! :-P

=================================================================

Eeg writes:
"Since you can communicate directly with your subconscious,
instead of visualization do you just tell your subconscious what
you want to happen with the psi and it does it, or do you have a
more direct role in the manipulation?"

My comments: Usually I do what you describe - I internally
vocalize to my subconscious what I want, and it happens.  I don't
do this EVERY time (sometimes I use visualization, sometimes I
use tactile feelings, and sometimes I just do it by sensing where
the psi is and willing it).

=================================================================

Jick writes:
"I do enjoy those movies you guys make. Can you make one of a
floating toothpick? So that it is not touching the ground at all?
For doing this seems like a simple task for a psi-expert."

My comments: That depends on how you define "psi-expert".  For me
personally, making a toothpick float seems insanely hard.  I have
had a lot of requests for more media, so I'll see what I can do.

Newsletter #20, for October 16th, 2005

"Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine
processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the
answer."
- Robert Graves


Dear PsiPog Users,

Yo!  In case you couldn't tell, the entire layout of PsiPog.net
has been updated :-).  I personally think it's a big improvement.
I am also updating the internal structure of PsiPog.net to work
more smoothly, and you should see small results of that when I
switch it over (some time in the future).

Let's jump into the mail bag...

=================================================================

Capricorn324 asks:
"I had a question about what Yev said in the 19th newsletter:

>> Yev writes: "...I have always wondered why you never touch on

What's the mirror thing?"

My comments: This topic isn't really part of PsiPog, but if
you're curious you can do searches on google for Scrying.

=================================================================

Michael writes:
"I read what Psiballer wrote and wanted to add something that
happened to be on my first known OBE. At the time I was still
living in San Diego and lived alone. I had several friends and we
practiced energy work together. I had read several things on OBE
and was practicing it DAILY and more without much luck. I could
not seem to slow my physical brain down enough to be able to go
into the OBE.

I had had a hard day and was a little tired. I have this really
great comfy couch that I many times would sleep on. I laid down
with my arm around one of my pillows and started to watch a
comedy sitcom. These usually can help bring me down and relax.
BUT this time I had started feeling my hand waving around
FREELLY. It was a really cool feeling too. The next thing I could
start feeling my feet sort of kicking free and played with that
for a few seconds. The next thing was I was laying there watching
the things I had on my walls go by and floating up in a diagonal.
This happened for 5-10 seconds and I got scared and slammed back
into my body (not the right thing to do LOL). Every nerve in my
body suddenly came alive and was tingling like mad. This took a
while to settle down before I could do much more. This was the
first time I was able to calm myself to the point that the OBE
could happen. Everybody has a "something" than can calm their
mind and body to that degree. the trick is finding what that
something is."

My comments: Cool!  Thanks for sharing :-).

Leziath writes:
"I haven't yet successfully made a psi-ball. But I was wondering,
would it be possible to draw energy from your source to form a
psi-ball, and then store it by allowing the psi-ball to stay with
you, like orbiting you or something, so that when you need it,
it's there to be used?"

My comments: Yes!  In fact, this is what a shield does :-).
Except it doesn't orbit, it just kinda sits there :-P.  But yes,
that is definitly possible, and is used by some psions.

=================================================================

Moonman writes:
"I think I have some information that you would enjoy to know. I
have been studying OOBEs for a while now, and have collected some
useful information.

During an OOBE:
1. My psi powers are greater than that of my normal ones.
2. I can increase my psi abilities faster than when in the real
world (as if I was practicing for a week in only one night).
3. I have found it possible to remember something from the real
world, such as something that somebody said that has importance
to what I am seeing.
4. I have created a flared psiball, and seen it when I got back
to the real world. I can then manipulate it."

My comments: I can relate to number 2 and 3, but number 1 and 4
I found the opposite in one of my experiences.  I tried creating
a psi ball (once), and couldn't even get a sensation.  I felt
nothing when I tried to make one.  That was my only experience
with it though, so it's not really enough to say one way or the
other :-P.  Perhaps some readers out there have experiences?

My comments: Heh :-).  Well, I can tell you what I know, and what
I believe.

What I know: nothing.  I have no clue how OBEs work, and
therefore have no idea on the risks involved.

What I believe: I believe that I am safe.  I've convinced myself
of this by facing my fears, accomplishing OBEs in spite of the
risks, then experimenting on my own.

the most successful of us has managed to make a string twitch. If
you could give us some pointers please? Thank you!"

My comments: It is my experience that telepathy while looking at
the person is a lot easier.  I believe this is because I can
track their thoughts better and plot them against their actions.
For example, if I get a confusing thought, I can make it fit into
what they are doing, and things make sense.  But hey, it sounds
like you got some friends to experiment with, so test things out
and see if you notice a difference :-).

I don't have a lot of tips for TK that aren't written in the
articles.  But - there is an article that isn't on PsiPog.net
that you might find useful.  Surf to http://www.upconline.net and
look for Float's article on psychokinesis.

Nesvae writes:
"I've been able to do OBEs since I was young.  However, now when
I do them on purpose, in the middle of exiting my body, I
suddenly realize that I've completely stopped breathing.  I
re-enter my body, and I'm wide awake, but my body isn't taking
any breaths automatically.  It's not that my breathing slows down
or gets very shallow; I'm used to that. This is extremely
alarming, since it used to not happen.  Also, when I occasionally
do it by accident, I do just fine with my breathing!  This only
happens when I leave my body on purpose.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to make sure I keep
breathing when I do OBEs?"

My comments: I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but I do have
a similar experience.  I was investigating this same thing while
trying to OBE - I was curious as to what happens to my breathing
when I leave my body, because I knew when I was out of body that
my body must continue breathing, but I wasn't aware of it.  When
I focused on my breathing, and tried to leave my body, it felt
almost like my breathing was fading out.  It was insanely scary
to leave while my breathing seemed to fade out... but I did it
anyways and everything was fine.  I'm not sure what is happening
in your case, but this is what I believe is happening from your
small description: I think at one point you monitored your
breathing while leaving your body (perhaps just by accident), and
you noticed that you stopped breathing (while in reality, your
BODY was still breathing, but you were becoming less aware of
it).  This created a new fear inside of you that emerges when you
try to OBE - you think to yourself, "Wow, I hope I don't stop
breathing again!" - and you begin to monitor your breathing to
make sure.  But the same thing happens, and you panic and return.

This wasn't a problem earlier because the fear didn't exist, and
you wern't monitoring it.  Does my idea make sense?  My
suggestion is to OBE anyways, for a short period of time.  Say,
30 seconds.  If your body isn't breathing for 30 seconds, that's
ok and you'll survive, but when you return you should be gasping
for air.  If you return and your body is fine, then go a little
longer next time - do this until you are OBE'ing for a long time,
and at that point you know for a fact that your body must be
breathing on it's own.

News1etter #21, for November 11th, 2005

"Even if you are on the right track, you'll still get run over if
you just sit there."
- Will Rogers


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hello!  Sorry I missed the last newsletter, life is busy, yadda
yadda yadda :-P.  Happy 11-11!

The two most common questions I keep getting over and over again
are: 1. New articles? 2. New seminars?

1. First, I am working on a new eBook, and it's coming along
pretty good, but it still needs more work.  There are pending
articles, but they need more work as well.  A lot goes into
writing an article, and I would rather not post anything than
post something that is sub-par.

2. Yes!  But not for a little bit.  Don't think I've forgotten
about PsiPog :-P.  99% of the work I am doing on PsiPog isn't
being seen because I am working on the forums and other scripts
that are the backbone of how PsiPog delivers the information to
everyone.  Things are getting done, but you just don't see it.

One thing I just finished was a small FAQ on how the new forums
wi1l work, and what the plan is for them.  You can read it at
http://psipogbb.net .

With that said, let's jump into the mail bag.  We have a lot of
mail built up because I didn't send out a newsletter two weeks
ago.

=================================================================

Warren writes:
"Hi, I just wanna ask what is happening to me, it is empathy? or
coincidence? Sometimes I know when my friends are sad or happy
and they dont tell me their state; I see them and I just know
their fee1ings. How I can practice and improve Empathy and how I
can manipulate their feelings? cause somethimes I know their
feelings and I cant do anything to change that. Thanks."

My comments:  Yes, that sounds like empathy.  One exercise I do
to practice empathy is to just read random people on the street.
Go to a mall and find a comfortable seat in the middle where
everyone walks around, and pick out people and read them as they
walk by.  Look for their general emotion, but also try to pick up
on specific things.  For example, someone might be happy, but why
are they happy?  Is this happiness originating from seeing
something funny?  Or maybe you can sense that they have recently
released a lot of tension and stress from a relaxing activity?
Perhaps they just saw a movie.  Figure it out, and try to hone in
on specifics.  The best way to change someone's emotion is to
talk to them and see what's up.

books, movies (such as Suspect Zero), and video games (such as
Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy) that have psionics as the
theme."

that I've already started to implement it!  Some of the backbone
stuff I've been working on inc1udes reorganizing the Articles and
adding more categories - one of which is "Psionics in Society".

my eyes closed) so I think I unintentionally used telekinesis on
myself! That's a bit easier than trying this on objects.  Any
tips?"

My comments: First, I am skeptical that you actually levitated
yourself.  Perhaps your senses were fooling you?  If you can do
it again, try to get it on camera to confirm it.  Don't take just
one experience and leave it at that - work to do it again!  Also,
we get a lot of emails of people wanting tips.  To be honest, all
the tips I have are in the articles posted on PsiPog.  I've
written everything I know in those.  But, just so I don't leave
you empty handed, there is an awesome article on PK by Float on
a different website, http://upconline.net - check it out, it has
a cool exercise to try.

My comments: Well, if you are both moving pencils, then it sounds
like it's related (i.e., it's the SAME THING :-P).  However, you
also have to be wondering what exactly happened in India?
Perhaps it was a clever magician, or maybe it was legit.  Maybe
you can get more information from your friend to figure it out.

"I know most of you guys advocate a healthy skepticism with

thought you might find interesting the work of a "magician"
called Derren Brown (probably fami1iar to some of you). He is
specialised in mind-reading/manipulation tricks with results
very similar to psi but without the use of psi.  Although he does
not reject the idea of psi phenomena he simply states that there
are many scammers on the lose (something we are all aware of). If
you look around on the interenet you should be able to find links
to (legal) video clips of a show he ran on TV a while ago. The
guy is simply amazing. Personally, his displays have helped me
keep my feet grounded without throwing away my beliefs.
Hope this'll help.

Take care and thanks for all the great material on PsiPog"

My comments: Thank you for giving me his name!  I saw a video on
the internet of him doing an "invisible punch", but I didn't know
who it was.  I immediately ordered his DVDs, and watched all the
material on them.  It is mind blowing for sure, and it does help
us stay grounded with healthy skepticism.  I personally have a
lot of theories of what is going on (like I'm sure everyone does
who watches his stuff), and I hope to figure some of it out.
Thanks again for the tip!

"I'm having trouble even getting a sign of moving the psi wheel.
Whenever I do it I just can't even when I'm trying my hardest, so
is it REALLY possible to actually move a psi wheel? Not to put
down practicing telekinesis, but I've read an article that shows
if you position your hands right (in the same spot other people
put their hands in movies) the psi wheel will spin because of the
heat rising. This is really putting me down because now I really
don't know if its rea1 or not?"

My comments: Heat rising is a problem you have to deal with.  I
suspect some people out there think they are moving the psi wheel
when it is really just heat from the hands.  BUT, there is a
large number of people who have tested against the heat theory.
For example, some people (including myself) have moved the psi
wheel without having our hands close to the psi wheel at all.  I
have done it from across the room.  Others make sure they are
truly moving it by focusing on different directions for the wheel
to move.  Heat can spin the whee1, but if it was ONLY heat, then
you couldn't control what direction the wheel spins.  The
majority of people who have spinned the wheel have done tests
like these to see if it was heat or not.

on OBEs, try that out.

"I've had the same experience as Nesvae from newsletter #20 (he
talked about forgetting to breathe during an OBE). A few times
I've been OBE'ing for up to 5 minutes forgetting completely about
my body during that time. When a thought comes in about my body,
something is brought to my attention: I was not breathing for the
entire time since the OBE started! It was weird because you think
you'd feel pain or something when going without breath for that
long, but I didn't feel anything."

My comments: That really surprises me.  If you don't breathe for
5 minutes, then you will be gasping for air... Either your body
doesn't need the oxygen (highly unlikely), or you don't realize
that your body is really breathing (more likely).  I personally
think that you don't realize your body is breathing fine while
you are out of body.  If you can, try video taping yourself while
having an OBE (although I know how hard this can be because of
the randomness of OBEs).  Perhaps one day we will figure it out.

"I've been a member of PsiPog for about 8 months and have had
success in the fields of psiballs and psychokinesis.  One day I
was looking through the articles and found "The Ebb and Flow Of
Psionics" by Brandon.  Now I was perplexed by this article.

This, for those of you who don't know, is an article on what
causes psionic off-days.  Most of the possible causes can be
summed up with lack of concentration due to focusing on other
things.  Throughout my studies, never have my abilities been
affected by sickness, depression, anxiety, diet, hunger, or
alcohol, nor have they been affected by me mood.

I know there are exceptions to every rule, but these just seem
like excuses to me.  In my opinion, if you're having an off-day,
you're not putting enough effort into it."

My comments: Heh :-).  Different people have different points of
view... Brandon's opinion is pretty popular, but others share
your opinion as well.

"What is your opinion on deja vous, or precognitive ability? Is
it possible to see future events or does free will mean that by
knowing the future you have already changed it? Is there free
will or is the future already defined in stone?"

My comments: Well, although I have few experiences with precog,
it seems obvious when looking at the evidence that precog'ing
something is possible.  How does the past, present, and future
all tie together to produce reality?  I have no idea.  How does
deja vous work?  Again, no idea :-P.  I do NOT agree with the
scientific/psychological explainations for deja vous (like the
brain misfiling an experience under long term memory, instead of
short term memory).  If I had to guess, I would say the
phenomenon of deja vous is probably a lot of different things
clumped together under one umbrella.  Some people might
experience it from a forgotten dream they had about the future,
while others might experience it because they saw something
similar a long time ago.  Good question to ponder :-P.

"Hello, my name is Cody. I have been studying psi and other
things such as this for about 1 1/2 years. I have just recently
learned how to flare my psi ball. Now my question is: when I lay
down at night before bed, I try to relax myself with meditation,
when I stop, I start to tingle and become kinda paralyzed, I
can't make myself move. When I can move again, I try to make a
psi ball and it make the air look wavy and stuff like the air
over the top of a fire. Is that normal?"

My comments: Is any of this normal!?  Heh :-P.  I assume you
mean: does this sort of thing happen to other people?  The answer
is yes.  You describe two different experiences that are pretty
common: 1. sleep paralysis, and 2. distortion of light from a
flared psi ball.  Most people don't link the two together like
you have, but it does happen.  So feel better that you aren't
alone :-P.  Now figure out WHY it happens and let us know! :-P

Newsletter #22, for November 27th, 2005

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people
can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever
has."
- Margaret Mead


Dear PsiPog Users,

Hellooooo!  I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving :-).  These
past weeks I've been working on the forums and my new eBook, but
neither are ready to be released yet :-P.

We have a lot of mail, so let's jump in right away:

"I was sitting in speech class and my friend was up doing her
speech. Well, since see gets extremely nervous and since I had
been reading your website and practicing I tried to put empathy,
I guess you could say, to practical use. I was sitting there
visualizing a tube attaching from her to me and I vizualized her
anxiety absorbing into me. I felt sick like I had "butterflies".
Then when she sat down it went away. So I thought, well that's
just a coincidence, but then I tried to do it to this other guy
presenting his speech and I felt the same thing. Do you think
that you can relieve someone of their emotions or is my mind
playing tricks?"

My comments: In a situation like that, it's hard to tell whether
your mind was playing tricks or not.  A better way to test it is
to read someone when you can't predict what they might be feeling
by "normal" means.  I.e., if someone is reading a speech in a
speech class, it's easy to logically conclude they might feel
nervous.  However, if you can find situations where it isn't easy
to conclude what someone will feel, and try to feel their
emotions in those settings, you will have a better idea of
whether it's all in your head or not.  Experiment! :-)

=================================================================

Jacob writes:
"I read the article about the Flare Party and thought that it
would be cool to try holding my own. I invited about 10 people
and when we tried to make the construct we were trying to make it
come out a red color, but instead of red there was no color at
all. Then one of my friends noticed that my face looked slightly
mishappen and we realized that the psiball was actually
refracting the light! Well my point is has anyone else done that
to such a degree, and if so I would like to hear about it."

My comments: Cool!  Actually, it's been my experience that making
a construct distort light is easier than making a construct emit
light.  That brings up an interesting idea though: maybe we can
try another flare party with the intention of distorting the
light instead of making it flare a color?  Thanks for sharing!

=================================================================

Matt writes:
"I have recently formed a theory that it is possible to send a
certain feeling you get when you perform a skill successfully
through some sort of telepathy. I have not actually done this but
I have tried and strongly belive it is possible due to reading
many articles on psionics. I think this could be particularly
useful for teaching new psionics users because you would be able
to send them the feeling you get when you successfully preform a
skill. This way they would be able to visualize and duplicate the
event with ease. Any additional information or maybe some
experiences you had with something like this would be
appreciated."

My comments: Yes, this is possible.  In fact, some people prefer
NOT to write articles because it is easier and more effective to
teach people one on one.  I have a little personal experience
with this idea, but I have more experience in a slightly
different (but related) idea: you can also learn other "normal"
skills faster using a combination of empathy and telepathy,
along with watching the person perform the action.  You gain a
better understanding of what you need to do to succeed.

"Hello. I've been trying to program my psi balls for over two
years. I know they're there, but as soon as I move my hands away
from the ball, it disipates. I've used all the methods in the
articles, and none of it's worked. Is there anything in
particular that may help?"

My comments: Take smaller steps, and work your way up to it.  For
example, at first take one hand away, and only have the psi ball
in the other hand.  Then when you get the hang of that, move the
psi ball along your arm (like rolling it along your skin).  Move
it to different parts of your body.  After that, try throwing it
from one hand to the other.  Start with a short distance, then
make the distance bigger the better you get.  Continue to
increase the distance until you are happy with the results.  I
hope that helps :-).

=================================================================

Britt writes:
"I found that deja vu is pretty normal for me, infact it's
pretty normal for most of my family as are premonitions. Maybe
its related to the fact that most of my family are practiced
Wiccans (neo-pagans). I'm not sure if it's psi related or if it's
just a family "gift". Premonitions can be a scary thing; I
started having them when I was 12 (my Aunt later explained that
it's pretty normal for my family). I was wondering if anyone else
has something similar passed down through family."

My comments: Skills do seem to pass down from generation to
generation.  That could indicate that it has something to do with
the genes (i.e., nature), or it might indicate that parents with
psi talents will raise their children differently, that will
promote psychic development from a young age (i.e., nurture).
I personally don't have experience with this, but I know a lot of
people who were born with psychic abilities who fall in this
category.

"I read the article on anchoring and I decided to try it. I
visualized blue energy flowing from everywhere into me and making
a sort of blue fire/aura looking effect around me. I anchored
that to the word, "Charge". Then I did it over until I got to the
point where I could gather energy by saying that word alone. I
decided to gather energy manualy while saying my anchor word.
Wow! I got a sort of "Aura Vision", where I could see aurasiand
electro magnetic fields all the time. My psiballs were easeer to
make (and yes, I could see them). They looked kind of like heat
you can see when someone is grilling, that kind of wavy heat
coming off it, but with a little color. Any comments on this?"

My comments: Yes, I have a comment: COOL! :-). Thanks for sharing
your experience - this is a perfect example of how to correctly
use anchoring to your advantage.  Good job, keep it up :-).

"Somehow I've become an almost conductor of electricity. It is
the weirdest thing. I used to be able to turn streetlights on and

to never have luck with psi-balls.  One time I tried it with
electric energy and I successfully made the psi-ball... and I
could see VISIBLE sparks of electricity in the psi-ball!
Another thing: when putting my fingers together I can see the
electricity running between them and I can do it with other
people and they can see the electricity running between me and
them as well... they say it feels like needles being put into
them.  It is REALLY weird.  But then again... isn't everything
we do at PsiPog considered weird?"

My comments: Wow, cool :-P.  That really is weird.  I have heard
of those things you describe though - this link might help you

direction):

"I have come up with a theory after discussing biology with my
friends, and I wanted your input on it.  Our bodies, and any
living body, run on energy.  This energy is produced from the
food we eat, and our breathing.  This is cellular resperation.
Well anyway, my theory is that if we could unconsiously pull psi
into us, and im talking massive huge amounts, that we wouldn't
need to eat, and maybe not even need to breathe.  This would be
because our body wouldn't need the food or air to make energy
because we are actively pulling it in psionically from our
surroundings.  What is your opinion on this subject?"

My comments: Actually, there are people out there who claim to DO
this :-P.  They still breathe, but they claim they don't eat
because they get enough energy from "other" sources.  Some of the
famous people who claim to do this have been exposed as frauds,
however that doesn't mean that everyone who does this is a fraud.
I personally wouldn't recommend trying this out for health
reasons, but it has been documented.  Check this out:

of boredom visualized a beam of green light that went from my
ring to the fly and "pulled" it in, and to my astonishment the
fly made a straight line from some 30 odd feet away to my ring,
landed, and imediatly died."

My comments: Er... that's odd :-P.  If you're telling the truth,
then that is very odd indeed.  Perhaps you should try some more.
I personally would make two lines and have two files run into
each other :-P.  Of course, I'm easily amused.  Don't get hung up
on trying to figure out ONE experience - try to re-create the
experience so you have more information!

"You said that heat is normal when making psiballs. Is it normal
for your fingers to twitch/get stiff?  Also, I've been practicing
Psi for only 2 days and when I make a psi ball I see little wavy
lines where it is supposed to be. Is this a sign that I am doing
this right?"

My comments: To answer your first question - yes, twitching and
stiffness is pretty common.  Some people report wavy lines as
early as their first time trying, while others never see any
signs of their psi ball after months of practicing.  Yes, seeing
wavy lines is a sign that you're doing it right (you're getting
results, right?).  Keep practicing and try some new things! :-)

Newsletter #23, for December 18th, 2005

"The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you
change the principles you live by, you will change your world."
- Blaine Lee


Dear PsiPog Users,

Yooo!  Sorry for the week delay in this newsletter - it seems
I've been having trouble lately keeping up with it.  But never
fear!  I think this newsletter is cool, and I appreciate everyone
who contributes and reads (i.e., you!) :-).  Thanks for all the
help.

Since the last newsletter, I have been posting links to blogs in
the PsiPog news.  Blogs are basically like online journals that
anyone can read - the blogs I have been posting are online
journals of people talking about their current psionic endeavors.
To see mine, surf to:  http://psipog.net/blog/

Other than that, there is a TON of mail.  So let's dive right in.

=================================================================

"Hi PsiPog.net I've just joined your community after wanting to
learn about telekenisis. My family has had a strong history of it
and we often see future events in our dreams and/or have déja vu.
I attempted the psi wheel exercice and was very disapointed when
I saw little to no results. This is my first day but I thought
I'd be able to do a little more. I have recently been ill and I'm
tired. Does that make a difference? Are there any other exercices
or techniques? I'm pretty sure I can bend candle flames as I was
doing so in church today except it may have been coincidence but
the flame was bending in the right direction. Any advice then?"

My comments: Some people do get results on their first day, but
most don't - so don't let that discourage you.  Being ill will
have an effect on your ability.  For more techniques, read the
articles on PsiPog.net, and also http://ppsociety.com has good
information on PK as well.  Bending candle flames is fun to do -
but as you observed, it could have been coincidence.  Buy a
candle and experiment with it.  Control the flame in SPECIFIC
directions, at SPECIFIC intervals.  This can help determine if
it's a coincidence or not.

=================================================================

Anime52 asks:
"I was wondering if you could use anchors to program it to do
telekinesis?"

My comments: Yes :-).  You can (and do) use anchors in all
aspects of your life, not just psionics.  For example, once you
start to learn to drive, things are awkward.  But after you gain
some experience, you don't think specifically about what you want
to do.  You might think "brake!", but that command is associated
with your foot hitting the left pedal.

Patrick writes:
"Greetings fellow believers! I have yet to begin any psi
development. I am still researching as much as I can first.
However, I believe I've noticed a correlation between psi
phenomenon and traditional Chinese martial arts, i.e. Chi. If you
know about martial arts, you may know about "chi". Chi is the
"life essence" in our bodies that, obviously, keep us alive. It
can also be described as breath, heat, spirit, or bio electricity
by modern western scientists ("chi" has no satisfactory English
translation). The only difference I can see, at this point, is
that in martial arts, you use your "chi" to injure or heal,
instead of manipulate as we are doing here at PsiPog. In MA you
focus on moving your chi/psi into, say, your fist to give it more
power and invulnerability to damage. Or likewise into another
person to heal a damaged organ or blockage of energy. Although
this is just a hypothesis, I would love to hear some feedback."

My comments: Some people do think that psi and chi are the same
"type" of energy - others don't.  You can find evidence on both
sides of the spectrum.  I personally hold the opinion that
whatever psi and chi are, that there is a more complicated and
deeper understanding needed than the current one.  Our current
understanding does not account for everything we witness in
reality, and therefore our current theory can not be correct.
Whatever you are being told about psi and/or chi, always remember
that no one has it entirely figured out - so if we want answers,
we need to figure them out.  Keep an open attitude, and continue
to think about what psi could be :-).

Ben writes:
"Hi, my name is Ben and I've been reading this for a long time. I
have been trying to make psi balls for a year or two now, but I
can't seem to concentrate and the most I can ever get when I try
to channel energy is this breeze type feeling going down my arm.
Got any suggestions?"

My comments: You've been trying for a "year or two"?  Heh.  A
breeze feeling is a good start, but something isn't right if it's
taking you that long.  I suspect that you haven't been practicing
for a year or two STRAIGHT :-P.  A normal psi ball should only
take a few weeks to a month to get (given constant practicing).
Set 30 minutes a day to practice, and experiment with what works
FOR YOU.  It really shouldn't take that long.  If you feel
something strange (like a breeze, or anything else), then it
might be psi, or it might be something else.  Continue to try new
things and figure out what is what.

=================================================================

Zell writes:
"When you depatternize a shield, what happens if the shield is
too strong (not likely but it could happen!), or if it was
programmed to resist psi? How would you go about taking it down?"

My comments: There are some methods, although some border on
psychic combat (so I won't go over those :-P).  However, we can
talk about some common techniques for dealing with stubborn
shields.  You can wear down a shields programming over time by
making very small adjustments to it's programming.  For example,
if you programmed your shield to resist psi, then you can start
by convincing the shield's programming that "psi" is something
else.  Over time, you can convince the shield that psi is
something completely different (like a specific emotion or idea).
The shield will be fulfilling it's programming by resisting "psi"
but it will think that "psi" is (for example) the emotion
"boredom".  By redefining what the shield is programed to do in
little steps, you can confuse the programming, and then take
advantage of this confusion to remove the shield.

=================================================================

Zell is back, this time with a success story:
"Hi, sorry to write again within minutes of my previous email,
but I was reading a previous newlsetter, the one that mentions
"affirmations". I said to myself, "I will move this marker with
my mind, and I will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I moved
it." and it moved! I didn't trance hard or anything, I did it in
10 seconds, and I'm positively sure that nothing else could have
done it! (Im not bragging I'm saying this so that other people
might have this breakthrough too)."

My comments: Wow, sweet :-)!  I'll have to try that out.  I've
never thought of using affirmations directly with PK - thanks for
sharing your success! :-)

=================================================================

Joe Cool writes:
"Hey, I know it is possible to flare a construct, but I was
wondering, how about sounding one? Instead of giving off light,
it makes a sound. Nothing complicated, maybe like a low hum or
something. Just curious if anyone has experimented with this."

My comments: In theory, this should be possible... but I've never
heard of anyone doing this (pun intended).  Try and see :-).

Auroros writes:

suggestions?  I've read the telepathy manual over and over, but
visualization only seems to hamper my concentration."

My comments: If visualizing doesn't work, then don't use it :-).
I suggest checking out the article by Brandon, titled Increased
Sending Through Pinging.  Also, check out information on Tactile
Visualization, and Gnome's Sensativity Manual.  These might help
you better than the normal visualization stuff.

Newsletter #24, for January 14th, 2006

"I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which
is to be flexible at all times."
- Everett Dirksen


Dear PsiPog Users,

Alright!  The big news is: the forums are online and working!  If
you haven't stopped by to check them out, then I encourage you to
surf to: http://www.psipogbb.net

The second thing I want to address is that I'm sorry for the
constant delay in newsletters.  Hopefully you will forgive me.

Another update I've been working on is the updated backbone of
PsiPog.net.  Along with this update comes a new PM system, which
I think is pretty cool.  If you are curious, then check out this
link: http://www.psipog.net/bn/login.php

If you want to see how it works, then you can compose messages to
yourself, or you can send messages to a friend that you know will
be checking the new inbox.  This new inbox is completely seperate
from your old inbox (which is good and bad).

Other than that, let's jump into the mail bag.

"I read the last newsletter and it said something about making a
construct that produces sound. But couldn't it also be
theoretically possible to make a construct appeal to any sense,
like smell, taste, (and no, not fashion sense)? Thanks!"

My comments: I suppose you can think of ways that ANYTHING can
theoretically be possible :-).  However, looking specifically at
constructs designed for different senses... I suppose one way to
accomplish it could be to implant the perception of the sense
into the target's mind.  I.e., maybe the construct doesn't
physically produce the sound waves in the air, but maybe it makes
the brain receive the same signals as if there were sound waves
in the air.  OF COURSE: this is all in theory!  Which means it
means nothing!  For those curious, I suggest not sitting around
and thinking about how it can work, but instead to go out and
TRY SOMETHING.

=================================================================

lux writes:
"Such a construct can be created and 'sent'. It may not manifest
as you expect, however. I know this for a fact. As I sent such a
noise (more like a moan of discontent). I was even surprised when
"it" manifested. I was informed of it by the recipient. Wanted
you all to know it's possible. Took a week though to 'build'. It
was not easy, but simple... AND it was emotionally based energy."

My comments: Cool. I suggest trying to find a way to measure this
type of construct in a scientific sense. Perhaps turn on your
microphone for your computer, and try to create a sound.  Then
later analyze it.

"I have had numerous psychic experiences, not the least of which
include many events which are commonly labeled as synchronicity.
A case in point occured last week. I had found out about an old
fort in my area where some children had been kidnapped 150 years
ago by Commanche Indians. One child was named Cynthia Ann Parker.
She was 9 and spent 25 years or so with the Commanche. She grew
up, married a chief and had three children of her own. One of
those turned out to be the last Commanche Warrior chief, Quanah.
I took pictures and uploaded them to a web so my wife and
daughters could enjoy (they living 300 miles from where I'm
working). My oldest daughter sent me a return e-mail stating how
she just happened to be reading a book about children kidnapped
in the Texas Hill country by the Commanche. She had just read
about Cynthia Ann Parker at more or less the same time I was
touring the fort. As stated I have had numerous events of this
sort, some more, some less profound. My question to you, and also
my biggest concern with these events is simply -- what does this
say about "free will"?"

My comments: Synchronicity is some I do hold a strong belief in.
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity ).  Basically, it
means that there are some coincidences out there that are just to
bizarre and meaningful to be random.  You have a good question,
and obviously I'm in no authority to ANSWER it, but I do have
some ideas that you might find interesting.  I started having
these experiences after I developed a strong communication link
to my subconscious ( http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=36 ).
I don't think it violates free will at all.  I think that instead
it relies on the belief that we are all connected in some way,
and can communicate in ways which we aren't aware.  In your
example, perhaps you and your daughter had communicated in an
unconscious way, and came to the conclusion to explore
interesting facts about Texas Hill country.  You may have both
unconsciously found that fact to be interesting, and then found
a way to make this interesting fact conscious.  I.e., the free
will doesn't go away - it's just being expressed through
unconscious decisions instead of conscious ones.  Keep in mind,
this is just a random idea, and by no means am I trying to say
that it must be how reality operates :-).

"I was trying to make a psiball the other day, I could not
concentrate enough so I tried the breath counting thing. It took
me over 30 mins to get to 20 without my mind drifting (I have a
very short attention span). I tried the psi ball again and it
literally burned me... I mean not like it was hot but I have burn
marks on my hands (not severe but still). I tried this a few more
times using advice from the site but only got to either extreme
heat or extreme cold. Could you maybe give me some advice on
controlling the temperature of a psiball? I want to do more
experiments with them but with this going on I can't hold onto
them long enough."

My comments: Well, the obvious solution would be to not hold onto
them!  Set them down on some cement or something.  If you want to
control the temperature, then you can try not putting so much
"oomph" into the ball.  Move slower and monitor the construct's
progress.  Change your visualization to something more tranquil.
For example, try visualizing the psi as water.  And don't hurt
yourself!

if it has less energy. I have an mp3 player that shows how much

healthy skepticism and a good example of how to use logic to test

"I know it's a little late now, but in this past July's issue of
Discover magazine, there was an article about out of body
experiences and near-death experiences called "Extreme States."
A link to it is here:
http://www.discover.com/issues/jul-05/features/extreme-states/
but I don't know if you will have access to the complete article.
It was interesting that the magazine, a respectable science
resource, is not at all disparaging out of body experiences.  The
article also mentioned quite a few studies of near-death
experiences--the one I am more doubtful of--and all of the
accounts seemed to be the classic idea including "such standard
fare as long tunnels, bright lights, giant rainbows, dead
relatives..."  I'm interested in what effect these classic images
have on those experiencing the phenomenon, and also those
participating in other psychic activities."

My comments: Sweet, thanks for sharing the link!

"I've been practicing things such as basic energy manipulation,
psi balls, and tk on-and-off for about a year. Now, I have never
been very interested at all in things like remote viewing or
precognition. But the other day, when I was just-waking-up-but-
still-sort-of-asleep, I thought for some reason of calling
someone on my cell phone once I got up. I remembered that I had
left my cell phone on a counter in the kitchen the night before,
and when I thought about going to get it, I visualized the
counter and said to myself "but my mom or someone else who's
already up has moved it from that spot, because I don't see it
there anymore." I thought this was kind of odd that I could "see"
that without actually having seen the spot since the night
before, so I continuted to "look around" and noticed a cup
sitting on the counter as well. I also took note of the exact
position of the chairs and table in the dining room, and then
woke all the way up. When I was later out in the kitchen and
dining room, I was surprised to see that two out of the three
things I saw were correct. My phone was gone, and the chairs were
exactly as I had seen them, but I had only imaginied the cup. I
thought it was really weird that I had "seen" these things when I
had never even practiced remote viewing. Just wanted to share; do
you have any comments?"

My comments: Yes, and my comment is this - COOL!  :-).  The next
time you find yourself in the same state, try again, and note
your results.

terminate it!  You will feel relieved afterwards.  Just thought
you might like to know about that."

Hello everyone!

I realize that I'm getting bad at delivering newsletters on time, so
thankfully Oneta came to me, and was looking for some way to help
PsiPog - and I put two and two together.  Starting next week, he'll
be taking over the newsletters.  Thanks Oneta!

Another announcement: PsiPog.net is having an online interview with
Ed Dames!  Now, I realize most of you are thinking "Who is Ed
Dames?".  He is a big name in the world of Remote Viewing, and was
taught by Ingo Swann.  For more information (including two
biographies, and a cool video), check out the links on the calendar
page:

http://www.psipog.net/calendar.php?view=1&day=1139688000

I suggest people take advantage of the event - it should be really
cool.  It'll be in the main chat room at 3pm EST on February 11th.
(I'll be taking off the chat restrictions for it so anyone can join,
even if you aren't a member of PsiPog.net).

JoeT was the one who set all this up, so next time you see him, tell
him "Thanks!"

Other than that, the next newsletter you receive will be from Oneta,
so send in comments, questions, links, suggestions, and everything
else to: newsletter@... so Oneta has some work to do ;-).

Thanks!

Newsletter #25, for February 10th, 2006

"A dream is not a dream if it comes true."
- Anonymous


Dear PsiPog Users,

From now on you will be recieving your newsletters from Yours
Truly, Oneta. I myself have been practicing for a while now, I
would have to shoot for 4-5 years if you want numbers. I
basically practice in most areas of psionics passively, except
for energy manipulation which I do much more often than the rest.
Other than that, I just poke around in the PsiPog chat.

PsiPog.net is having an online interview with Ed Dames!  Now, I
realize most of you are thinking "Who is Ed Dames?".  He is a
big name in the world of Remote Viewing, and was taught by Ingo
Swann.  For more information (including two biographies, and a

Now to dig into the mail bag....

Flyingmonkeyc reports:
"Hello,
First off, let me say just how 'psyched' I am to be here. I've
been trying to look for a site such as this. I tried the pinwheel
exercise and seemed to have it almost immediately! Of course,
some doubt came into my mind after, and I figured well maybe it
was my breathing. So I attempted it at eye level (so my breathing
wouldn't affect it), again, it spun as I wanted it to. So then I
think its my fingers making a breeze (I use my fingers to sort of
"control" the direction, makes it easier to visualize it in my
mind then act it out),so I tried it from farther away. Yep, got
it to spin from about 3 feet away (Though it was VERY difficult).
I was still skeptical.

My final test was put a cup over it.  This would be the test of
tests for me, and would prove if I was actually controlling it.
So for about 30 min (I think, wasn't really paying attention) I
sat there, trying as hard as I could. Then it happened, it
wiggled.  Then it started to turn. I kept it up for what seemed a
minute, at a very sloooow pace. I was so excited that I couldn't
concentrate any longer.

Now I KNOW that PK is real.  I can control it with the cup after
some serious concentration, and without the cup almost at will
(at a pace that sort of freaks me out a bit).  I just want to say
thanks a lot for the information, as now all I can think of is
training.

And if I may, is it possible to actually lift the paper off the
pin (well, I use a screw).  I mean, obviously it will take time
if it is possible, but I just want to know if it has ever been
done? And is it normal to feel very weak after a long session
(say an hour+)? And lastly, is the fact that I am heavily
involved in martial arts matter? Oh, and one more question (sorry
for all the questions ;p ), if I want to make a video, how do I
put it in the media section, I think with a couple more days, I
can spin the pinwheel under the cup as fast as it goes without
the cup! Thanks again!"

My Comments: Awesome job on progress so far, Keep it up!  For
levitating objects, it is possible in the same sense TK is
possible, as they both work on the same principle of you
affecting the object outside of normal means. People normally
notice fatigue after an hour or two, so I would say this is
normal. As for being involved in martial arts, being physically
fit couldn't hurt anything.

=================================================================

Metalicor exclaims:
"Hi, I think your site is fantastic and inspirational. I started
to try out body experiences for sometime now and for every
successful OBE I can't fall back a sleep. I don't know if it is
from shock or what but this really is a cool thing, and I would
love to hear ideas to continue my experience with OBEs. I also
practice aerokinesis, but sometimes I'm afraid to attempt because
every time I practice there is a storm either the next day or
right after i finish my training is this coincidence or could
this be possible."

My comments: Sounds like you may just be getting an added benefit
of the alternate state of consciousness OBE's offer, and resting
while in OBE as if you were napping, or it could be as you
mentioned and be your excitement preventing you from sleep. As
for the other, it is rare that we affect external forces as great
as that by accident, so to stay on the safe side, it is probably
coincidence.

=================================================================

SoreasKeyblade wonders:
"Hey! About a week ago after I read the articles about obe's I
did not try it and didn't give it a thought, but when I was
asleep I felt like I was awake and looking at my bed. The thing
is I couldn't move or even budge the only thing I felt moving was
my leg but it was not moving! Is this an OBE?"

My comments: This sounds like a brief case of Sleep Paralysis,
which normally results in a restriction of body movements while
being able to view your surroundings, which are sometimes
hallucinated, due to still being confined to a partial sleep
state. But this isn't a bad thing, as I had my first OBE from
Sleep Paralysis. Quite possibly it could have simply been a
dream also.

=================================================================

Scott from a previous letter writes:
"My friends and I were in a circle watching me move peppermint
sticks. I was doing it successfully taking only 15 seconds on
each until I tried to move one but instead 2 other candy canes
moved. How did this happen?"

Matt responds:
"I remember this happening before, when watching a PsiPog
member's web cam, they had 3 or so, and were focusing on the
middle one to move. Every now and then, the other two 'bumped' a
bit. My theory: Nobody's perfect, the directionality of the psi
he was using wavered from its original path, and instead of
moving the one he wanted to, it moved the other ones."

My comments: Its not uncommon for your intention to slip into
objects of similar shape/form when trying to do Telekinesis,
after all  what decides that you wanna move this object and not
its exact look a-like next to it. Its left up to the clarity of
the intentions you put into moving the object.

=================================================================

Travis Rae notes:
"I recently read your tk thoughts, techs, and tips article and
had a very interesting experience afterwards. A few days later,
I had a dream where a friend was able to levitate a stack of
plates. They were normal, ceramic plates, but he continued to say
they were paper plates. I think that because of this, it could be
possible to make TK easier by tricking your subconscious that the
object is lighter than it actually is. I have yet to try it, but
you're welcome to give it a shot."

My comments: While this is one way of overcoming your doubt of
being able to pick up a stack of heavy ceramic plates by making
the concept of them being lighter, it also takes away from the
overall idea of what you are trying to achieve. I.e: Move ceramic
plates with the concept of what it would take to move paper
plates. Should this help you out in the short run, it becomes
troublesome in the long run, when you run out of objects with
lighter counterparts to imagine.

=================================================================

Jason lum shares:
"A couple days ago in my gym class, we were playing floor hockey,
and I was on the field. I decided to try something, and I
imagined my body in my mind,and having red particles,
representing heat, flowing from the center of my body outward,
and having blue particles, representing cold, flowing towards my
body from the outside. I did this for a while, and then after my
turn was done went to the bleachers while someone subbed for me.
I continued to do the activity in my mind, and I actually started
to get cold. This is the first time ive really done anything
temperature related,and the first time ive really had results
from any psi activities. Just thought I'd share it."

My comments: Thanks for sharing the nice visualization technique,
hope it works for others as well as you.

=================================================================

Joe Cool Guy asks:
"I have a friend who is interested in learning about psi. He
likes things structured, however, so he asked me what order he
should learn things in, and to help him build what I guess could
be called a psychic training regimen. If it works for your body,
it should for your mind, too, right? The progression I think I
will use for teaching him is: basic energy manipulation, psi
balls, tactile visualization, psi balls again (using tactile
visualization), and then let him go from there. But I was
wondering, would it be better to do it my way, or to teach
visualization first, and then go on to learning energy
manipulation? As for this training regimen, I am fairly lost. I
was thinking 30 minutes a day, with some kind of warm-up and
cool-down. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?"

My comments: As for Tactile Visualization or Energy Manipulation
first, I think it would be best to practice them at the same
time, since they are incorporated into the same practices, it
would not be anything out of the normal. Also, Tactile
Visualization is nothing more than a more defined form of
visualization.

=================================================================

Zero054 theorizes:
"I have a small theory on TK for after you learn how to use it,
It goes something like this: When using telekinesis you use your
mind to move maybe say a Psiwheel on a tack. Well the more you
use it the stronger your mind gets. Like doing push ups you work
out your biceps and other arm muscles. I feel using Telekinesis
works the same. You do it over and over and over till you get
stronger at it and then you are able to move it faster and
better. Then you are able to move onto other objets say a pencil
or pen."

My comments: As it stands the more people practice the more used
to moving the object they get and the easier they recreate the
patterns next time. Whether this is because it removes more and
more doubt that person had stored away and whether it actually
involves how far they advance is up to that person. I don't
believe removing all doubt is key, just don't let it stand in the
way of your mindset while practicing.

=================================================================

Callum Harber comments:
"Hello, ever since I was really little I knew I was gifted, lots
of things have happened to me that I can't explain. I was
experimenting ways to absorb energy, and I thought I would try
seeing if I could get some out of a crystal ball I got once. I
put my hands on it and felt the energy flow, but then it got
really hot and my hands felt like they were burning so I had to
let go, is this normal?"

My Comments: Without knowing at what mindset you set out to
achieve your goal, it is hard to assume why you received the
results you did. Overall, it is possible it is just and
oversensitivity to energy at the point in time.

=================================================================

Azric warns:
"This is in response to what espman wrote. I have attempted
putting stressed emotions into psi balls before. I believe you
should be careful when doing so, because if, say, you put the
wrong emotion in them, or other little variables, it will make
your stomach turn, & make you feel a little sick."

My comments: Thanks for the warning, as we all know psi balls can
be used as a medium for emotions, which means they will radiate
the same feelings as programmed with. Which is why we should be
careful what we program them with.

Newsletter #26, for February 24th, 2006

"Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous
fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender
twigs that are easily snapped off."
- Carl Gustav Jung


Dear PsiPog Users,

In progress is the new design of PsiPog, which should bring with
it more personality and user interaction. For those of you
interested you can find the design here at www.psipog.net/rev .
Also in the mix is the new translation project going on at the
forums, which has a few members already working hard. If you
are interested you can email me or send me a message in the
forums, and I'll get you started ASAP. For those of you
interested in the interview aspect, it is already planned
to setup more interviews later on for your viewing pleasure.

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

Metalknight informs:
In the last newsletter, I read a comment warning about putting
certain negative emotions into psi balls because they radiate
that emotion.  Well, in my personal experience, as long as you
program the psi ball correctly, you can actually choose to take
the emotion out of yourself, place it in the psi ball, and get
rid of the negative emotion.  I like to find an object to place
it in.  I have a stump in my back yard that no one goes near, and
I've gotten into the habit of placing any negative energy that I
have into a psi ball, and sort of throw it into the stump.  Just
be careful you don't put it into anything alive.

My comments: Thanks for the tip, that's a great way to elminate
unwanted emotions throughout the day. While some claim strong
emotions act as a catalyst for some abilities others find that
psi is a good way to get rid of these negative emotions. Try
and find what ever works for you.

=================================================================

Admiral N ponders:
Once I went upstairs for a nap for a while, I laid down and tried
to go to sleep but I couldn't.  I stayed for maybe 15-20 minutes,
got up and walked around for a minute, then laid down for about
another 5 mintues.  I came downstairs and almost 2 hours had
passed!  This is very strange, because I naturally have a good
sense of time, and I know that I didn't fall asleep.  I wondered
what you thought of this, if its happened before.  Thanks!

My comments: The only possible explanation I can come up with is
you most likely fell asleep and due to your restlessness dreamed
of walking around, or in a rare case you may of had an OBE in
the process of trying to fall asleep to explain the walking
around, and then fell asleep. Either conclusion I believe sleep
was involved to some extent.

=================================================================

Sleight of Mind says:
I probably should be practicing TK more then I do, but I had a
strange occurrence. I never really was good at the pin wheel.
I would be able to spin it in 1 direction and only have control
of it moving and stopping. It must have been 2-3 months since I
practiced TK last. I got bored one day and I started lifting
weights. Nothing big, just some bicep and for-arm curls. After,
I decided to go and try the pin wheel. I was able to spin it
seemingly without any restrictions and I had full control. Then
I sat back in my chair and put my hands about 2 feet away and
still had full control. I have not tried again right after
lifting but I have never had that control again. Is it possible
that exerting my muscles would allow energy to flow more easily?

My comments: A number of things could of been going on here, so
I'll mention a few. For one, unless you absolutely are lazy
you probably felt more refreshed and relaxed after lifting
weights allowing you to easily get in the mood the for TK. The
second one is that taking a break may have been what you needed
in the first place to succeed further on, because maybe you were
exerting yourself or trying too hard the first time. And third,
in popular opinion some people use energy to move objects, and
the fact that you had just come from a work out and putting
tension and stimulating nerves that you may have generated more
energy. As for more control, if you worry too much about why
it happened that one time, it might lead to thoughts of having
to have preset conditions to achieve such actions of TK. This
will only limit you later on, so try and practice more often if
total control is what you are after.

=================================================================

Ben asks:
For as long as I can remember.... if I get to the point where I
get angry, my psi abilities appear to work better. I dont
like choosing that action to get what I want in practicing
with psi balls and Tk. My other abilities are natural and I can
be calm using them my empathy, tp, and so on.... I am just
wondering what you would have to say. Like I said I dont like
using that anger part to my tk or making my psi balls do u think
there could be anouther way of doing it with out, well with out
it getting out of hand. I can control it for a little bit but
once it goes over where i have no control and it seems my Sub-c
takes over. Like I said, any advice that you have for me I'd
be greatful to read and practice.

My comments: Relying on anger to help with psi will become a big
weakness when you start to grow more dependent on it. You will
not always be angry to help with your psi, and in most cases that
you would actually use psi, are not going to be times you are
angry. If you are angry all the time, then maybe it isn't the
the anger causing the boost, but maybe your stressed emotional
level. Otherwise keep up the good work.

=================================================================

Patrick responds:
In response to "Zero054" theory of brainbuilding... It could be
that as you practice more, the electrical pathways in your brain
become more pronounced to the stimulus. Just like muscle memory,
in that the more you do something, the easier it becomes. The
human body is an amazing machine, capable of adapting to almost
any type of stimulus. The perfect example is bodybuilding. You
lift a certain amount of weight until it becomes easier, then
you increase the weight and your body will adapt accordingly...
This COULD be just as applicable to developing psi as it is your
physical body. So keep practicing!!!

My comments: Thanks for the awesome advice and words of
encouragement.

=================================================================

The Fool asks:
Aright, I've been trying levitation or at least affecting an
objects weight and was wonder about a few things. I have a scale
to see if it's getting light. I usually appear to be able to
change the weight by 1/3-1/2 pounds for about 20-30 sec which,
when referring by the terms guidelines, means that much force
upward. I find it strange that I have no success on the psi-
wheel, if I can apply at least 1/3 lbs constant pressure I should
be able to do it.

So what I'm asking is if this manipulation of gravity, a
different ability entirely. Affecting gravity would not causing
molecules to  move though space as with psychokinesis, but
something changing a factor whose cause isn't even scientifically
decided upon completely (gravity). If it is a different ability
shouldn't it have its own name, techniques and such?

My comments: Affecting gravity, would be doing just that,
affecting the force that is pushing down on an object. If you
distort gravity you are going to affect the amount of force it
holds objects down with. Although I see what you are asking, and
if you are actually affecting gravity to where you can distort,
in a way, the percentage of gravity pushing on an object. Which
would explain why you can't levitate the psiwheel because you can
only distort a percentage of its weight due to gravity. But is it
really that complex, or are you just not used to working on
levitation with the psi-wheel as much as you are with other
objects?

=================================================================

Scott suggests:
I was trying to think of new PK exercises, then I suddenly
remembered one that I was already using without really realizing
it. Whenever I am sitting near a bonfire I use my mind to make
the smoke go in the direction I want it to go.  It is really easy
to redirect since it is so light.  I just thought this exercise
could help people practice so I sent it in.

My comments: Nice idea, normally I have troubles with the smoke
trying to blow on me no matter which side I sit on, so this
should come in handy.

=================================================================

Telepsycho shares:
I had a dream this night about me trying out something I had seen
in a cartoon. The cartoon is actually very well made and has a
good plot and theme. It is called Avatar. Yeah. In it there are
air benders, water benders, earth benders, and fire benders. I
dreamed I had to fight someone, and I decided to use fire
bending, although I had no idea what to do. I put my hands in the
shape of  a ball, and immagined fire coming out of my hands. It
actually appeared, but it went in different directions and
dissipated. I tried again with the same result. I thought, "What
if I use psi to keep the fire together?" I concentrated and
summoned the fire again. I used psi to put it in the shape of a
ball, and it actually became kind of dense. Then I thought, "Ok,
now, I am going to program this fire to move forward at a high
speed." I did it and threw it at my opponent. He dodged and it
hit the wall behind him, and bounced off. I then thought, "I
didn't programm it to go through the object it hit, only to go in
that direction, so it didn't go through the wall."

After that, the dream ended. I thought after I awoke, that this
could be used to some extent in psionics to create psi balls.
Imagine a fire cloud between your hands, and use psi to put the
fire cloud together. You don't actually have a fire coud, but it
helps you get a lot of psi together. Also, visualization of fire
helps add temperature to your psiball.

My comments: Nice fun dream. Basically on the point of making
constructs, you summed it up in the last paragraph, the fire
would serve as a visualization, and a shell is always a good
thing to make sure you do to your constructs.

=================================================================

Hi, I've been checking out the site and really enjoy all the
things I've come across and read. Occationally I've tried some TK
(still hasn't worked). But things like Telepathy and Weather
control seem natural to me. I want to know to what extent it is
"normal" to be able to control weather, One example is a few
months ago my friend and I had gone hiking it had been raining
all day which I was enjoying. On the drive back we got a flat
tire and had to change it in the middle of the bad weather which
was at that point going on for a few days without signs of
breaking up. Perturbed I looked at my buddy said I'm tired of
this rain and allowed myself to feel the sun breaking up the
clouds and flowing through me, Within 5 minutes the thick grey
clouds broke up and the next week was sunny. My friend was
astonished that the sun came out of nowhere. and I would say was
a coincidence except that it happens to me often with weather.
How can I tell if I'm actually influencing the weather or if I'm
just picking up on events that would happen regardless? If
someone would like to help me with an experiment I'd really
appreciate it.

My comments: As for influencing, I believe it is possible, but as
far as controlling the Weather, that is more of an iffy subject.
Perhaps you precoged the possibility of sunshine, and then helped
influence along with others who want the same.

Shellie informs:
I thought this was good to use for some people who are bored with
  using the pendulum for the same old things. I have even tried to
tie it up on a lamp and tried to move it and the whole lampshade
moved with it. That is what got me interested in Psychokinetics.

I have been working with Pendulums since 1998. I got bored one
night and wanted to use the QuiJa board but no one would use it
so I desided to use the pendulum with it. I used all sorts of
question and it worked. The Pendulum would circle around the
letter or number that normally the pointer would goto with
another person to use it. I could feel where the pendulum wanted
to go. It had a sort of pulling feel to it and when I got closer
to the  point that it wanted to go it would lighten up in weight
then  start to circle. I got some really good results with this
method. Though I know some people don't like the QuiJa board and
anything to do with it. You can also do this with some words
written on paper and placed on the table in random places to get
some results. I have also tried this with a map and a map of the
stars (I don't mean a map of the Stars like Tom Cruise and David
Bowie) Maps of the constilations and a telescope. It proved to be
a very interesting experiment. I got bored with just the usual
yes no questions with the pedulum and started experimenting with
all sorts of things. I even started trying to keep the pendulum
moving while I was in conversation with someone. I did a
presentation on Parapsychology in school and used the Pendulum as
one of the experiments I told the people in the class that you
could use anything as a pendulum and that it is a good tool to
use if you are trying to increase consentration. I got quite a
few people interested in learning more about it and some even
interested in taking Parapsychology as a major in college.

My comments: Thanks for the nice information on Pendulums, maybe
you will interest the readers as much as some of your classmates.

SorasKeyblade comments:
Lately im having precognitions on a weird chart. Every three days
I get a deju vu that totally stops me because I've seen it before
I was standing right there. Like I dreamt of an apple basket in
my kitchen and then tried to pick one up. Suddenly I stopped
halfway and woke up went to the kitchen to get one because it was
so real but it the basket was empty. The next day when I got home
from school the basket was full and I stopped halfway exactly
like in my dream. It was the clearest I ever got and its getting
faster. Do you think it will increase even greater?

My comments: That depends on the actions you take towards it, if
you try and worry about it too much though, you may drive
yourself crazy. Reason being, it isn't always clear when it is
going to happen, unless directly given, so even small
similiarities you find maybe the next day doesn't mean that is
what you precoged, or dreamed. In fact it could happen the next
day, as you experienced, or days later. The best thing to do
is not try and push it too hard, just let it take its active
course and notice what is going on. After a while you may soon
realize what and why such things are happening.

Newsletter #27, for March 12, 2006

"Thought is real, physical is the illusion. Ironic, huh?"
- What Dreams May Come


Dear PsiPog Users,

While the new design is still in the works, other things are in
the mix. New and innovative techniques are always in the works
under the techniques section of the forum, so if you are growing
bored with regular old constructs, or just need a few ideas to
get more out of your practice, you should stop by. Also for
those of you who have recently lost things or happen to lose
anything, there is a new project in the Remote Viewing section
aimed at retrieving your lost objects, so check it out at your
conveinence. It was recommended by a few people that the
newsletter needed more substance, so starting this week there
is going to be an activity each week for you guys to accomplish.
This week it is going to start off with Remote viewing and next
week will be something new according to what I think up. Also if
you have any suggestions for the newsletter will be gladly
examined if you want to email them.

=================================================================

Activity #1:
Simple as it is this week, is going to be the Remote Viewing of
a target. If you are interested in trying but not sure what to
do, check this page out for further info:
http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=10164

As for those of you who already know the basics of Remote
Viewing, the target coordinates are: 1199-5577

Have fun! :D

=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

Hey friends!

Well, after 2 years of hard work, I finally know how to make
visible psi. I was shocked when I noticed how easy it can be.
Right now, I can only use my index fingers. I'm working my way
up until I build one between my palms. Here's what I do:

1. Try to build a psi "ball" between your index fingers.
---  --- Cheap illustration of the position your index finger
should be held, but you get the idea. ;)

2. Now, move you index fingers in a slow and constant motion,
  like you turning a knob. 1. --- ___  2. ___ ---
3. --- ___ ... Sorry but this part is hard to explain, but
just simple till the point where it's retarded. Move them in
a circular motion. Not together, but one moving up and the
other down. I hope you get this part.

3. Keep focusing and moving your fingers in a circular motion.

You'll start to see some sorta "electrical" energy. Like a line
moving with your index fingers. If you do (and I'm sure you will
because it's easy as hell), don't get excited because it'll just
fade away. I usually do it before I go to sleep, because it's
dark and quiet. Trust me, you'll probably see something in less
then a 2 days, maybe now! Just practice.

I came up with this when I learned in my martial arts class
that everything in the universe moves in a circular motion. The
atoms, solar, system, and energy.

My comments: Thanks for sharing this awesome technique, maybe
next you can come up with a method for visible constructs? :D

=================================================================

Wushu Psion responds to the post made by Metalknight in the last
newsletter:

Negative energy does not have to be dumped into anything- such
as a tree stump, like we dump garbage into dumps, as we know,
doing that causes future problems, the same goes for dumping
negative energy.  Instead, form the negative energy into a
black ball, spinning counterclockwise.  Have this ball move
around, collecting other negative energy, as much as you feel
necessary. Then, stop the ball and have it start turning
clockwise, as its doing so, imagine it turning a pure white
light. Then just have the white light explode and dissipate
around the room. This is a much safer way of getting rid of
negative energy. This may take a while to master, but once you
do, its very effective.

My comments: That's a great technique for putting use to energy
that you were just going to dispose of earlier.

=================================================================

Lucifael wonders:
Ok, first off I came here because I wanted to learn how to make
shields to keep my empathy from getting out of hand.  That was
my only interest, however as time progressed I began to become
more interested in other aspects of psionics such as
psychokinesis. However there were certain abilties I wanted to
avoid altogether such as telepathy.  However it seems that one
can not pick and choose which ones they learn or pick up.  I
found this out becuase one day I was talking to my friend and
eventually I already knew what he was going to ask and would
answer him before he did.  At first I had actually thought he
asked and I had just forgotten he did.  But after a while it
became apparent that wasn't the case.

Why is it that one can pick up abilities they dont want like
that??  Or is it because I tried to avoid that I picked it up.
Which if the latter is the case why would that be?  Oh and
another thing is if I dont program my shield to prevent that
from happening it will happen at random times.  That has me
very concerned so I've been extra careful to program my shields
to keep telepathy signals from leaving or entering me because
I'm not really sure which that would be.

My comments: This is common for most people just getting into
psionics. For the most part, you became interested because you
had some degree of sensitivy at first and needed to find the
reason for it. Others just getting into psionics are recognizing
the existence of this extra sensitiviy, and are often bombarded
with it in many ways, due to not having a clear idea on what
they want to accomplish in the way of psionics, and basically
they are still open to most forms of it. If you are still
getting any unwanted input later on in your practices, then it
is probably best to shield as you stated. This way, until ready
to deal with what else is going you can avoid it interferring
with your daily routines.

Peebrain's comments: Also, this general sensitivity which brings
about empathy can also be used for telepathy.  My guess would be
you picked up telepathy just from already using your empathy
skill and developing a little bit more sensitivity through some
basic exercises.  Again, the solution is to shield.

=================================================================

BloodTrail shares:

Hello, I've been practicing TK and psiballs for a few months and
avidly reading all the articles on PsiPog and the newsletter.
While I struggle with TK, I think I've got psiballs "under my
belt". So I'd like to offer my suggestions and tips.

1) Learn anchoring commands. That was the best singular advice
I've ever followed through on. It's easy and I've already
securely programmed it to ground myself (I say "root") on command
as well as instantly make a fairly well formed and dense psiball.
Be sure to read up on it on PsiPog.

2) Don't always rely on other's techniques. After experimenting
a lot with psiball visulizations and techniques, I found the best
way is to really use those as "guidelines". The best way is to
make you're own sequence of visulizations and ideas to help. For
example, I use a Final Fantasy sort of idea to take in energy
and make a psiball (without anchoring). I imagine swirling around
in the pyreflyes that appear in the series, and then absorbing
those as "white" energy, then, absorbing a "dark" energy that
swirls around the white energy energy in my body. I push both of
those into a psiball and make a ying-yang sort of effect in my
psiball. It works great for me, but I still stand by making your
own.  Anyways, good luck.

My comments: Most definately right, it is always best to follow
the basic methods to a certain point. But in the end, you are
going to want to form visualizations that mean something more
to you than just the generic terms which only get you so far,
due to your lack of connection with them.

=================================================================

Tim states:

Hey,
I'm new at all this stuff and I just found this site. I have a
question, and it is: that when ever I sit on the ground
(the earth) and try to make a psi ball I get light headed. I've
heard how it means you've took to much energy but it does not
happen when I'm getting energy but when I'm making the ball. I
have felt warmth when I try to make a psi ball but never seen it
do you have any ways to prove you really have one.

My Comments: It actually sounds like quite the opposite of
taking in too much energy, but maybe you put out too much energy
in your efforts of making constructs, which leaves you fatigued.

As for ways to prove they exist, there are many ways such as:
Getting a relative or friend to feel the space the construct is
supposed to be, and if you recieve the same input, then it more
than likely means it is there. Or try and change the temperature
and see if it affects a thermometer. Maybe if you are feeling
adventurous, go all out and try and make it visible.

=================================================================

Packy suggests:

An interesting tip for those who hate tests at school, where you
cant quite think of the answer, but you know it is either a or
b? Try pendling with... a pencil! I use it all the time, and to
see how accurate you are, put a little P next to all of the ones
you "Pencil Pendle" and go back and check if you were right. I
got an A on a test doing this for every question.

Enjoy!

My comments: Nice idea, just might want to start out with a few
doing that method, so you don't get angry if you fail a test. I
have only had one test so far where I have tried using some form
of psionics to get the answer, and it was because I was going to
fail it anyways, and decided "What the heck!". I ended up
getting a low b, but it definately beats the F I was going to
get otherwise!

=================================================================

Rahmid asks:

I got into TK maybe a year ago and didn't have any success so I
would stop and go.  But I really got into it, looked up
exercices, and found PsiPog. I was trying to spin the psi wheel
with only random success. Then I went to a party sleep over at
friends house and it was about 3 and I was just able to do it.
It was amazing.  Total control.  I believe it was the many videos
I watched earlier that day on google video.  And my friends were
able to do it instantly after watching.  So, I can still do it
sort of currently.  But when ever I would try and show someone to
try and prove to them that TK was real, I would bomb. I would
eventually get a few spins but nothing much nothing to change
their mind. I was able to do it under the table, but now I
generally don't do well. It has to do, I believe, with doubting
my skills. I dont understand it I believe, but I KNOW I can do
it.  I go and try it, but it doesn't happen until i just stare
and focus for like 10 mins. Then I can get a really good spin but
even then I cant stop it very good, let alone change directions.
Its bad, in the very least.

Any advise, or similair instances, please share!!!

My comments: For the most part, it sounds like doubt is most of
your problem. I say this because you mention being able to do it
at 3 (which I assume you mean 3 am), and this is normally the
time we are tired and don't question many things as we would
during the day when we are more alert. Such as I have read things
at night before, and then woke up the next morning and had a
totally different opinion than I did the night before. Now while
you will probably never be fully convinced even after you pull
it off a few times, it does help when the doubt pops up less
often. So work on the doubt as you also work on Telekinesis, and
it should prove helpful.

Newsletter #27, for March 26, 2006

"We must learn to tailor our concepts to fit reality, instead
of trying to stuff reality into our concepts."
- Victor Daniels


Dear PsiPog Users,

From the responses recieved on the RV activity last Newsletter,
I can only assume you don't like talking about Remote Viewing,
or either you aren't clear on how to do it. Assuming you don't
think Remote Viewing is boring, I'll try and clear RV up in
as easy as terms as possible.

So to begin, let's start with what lies behind the the surface
of Remote Viewing. No matter who you talk to, or what method
they use, everyone attributes their success to an unexplainable
source, where any information you can think of is stored. Think
of it as an ocean, and everything that lives in the ocean is
connected by the simple fact that they all have a medium
between them. That medium being the ocean, no matter how far
apart, they are still in the same ocean, and a part of that
ocean. When one fish does something affecting its enviroment
it affects the ocean which it is in. While this affect is not
felt as much by further out fish, none the less, it affects
their enviroment, and the ocean in a whole. After all, one part
of the ocean, is still the ocean, no matter how small.

If you are wondering what all this means...It simply means:
Acting on one part of the whole, is still acting upon the whole.
This is the part that makes Remote Viewing so easy. You only
need access to one point of the big blob of information, to have
acces to the other parts connected to it. Due to the fact that
we create most of the information we are searching for through
Remote Viewing, we already hold that connection with it.

But just knowing the connection exist, doesn't allow for
fool-proof Remote Viewing. You need to know how to utilize this
connection before it becomes use to you. This is easily done by
making a connection in your mind, with the information you are
looking for. You've all had that feeling when you are trying
to remember something, but can't, yet the feeling that you know
it is so great, it is driving you crazy. Now that you have
thought that feeling out, simply recreate it while asking
yourself what you are looking for. Then sit back, continue the
feeling if you want, but pay attention to any information you
recieve pertaining to the question you asked. Mostly you can
make out the difference between your imagination, and
accurate information. Your imagination tends to take the obvious
routes to deciding things, and therefore it will have obvious
answers. You may ask "We'll what if the answer really is
obvious?", and all I have to say, is "Why would you use Remote
Viewing in the first place if the answer was so obvious?"

While this method is not absolute, I'm just throwing out an idea
for you guys to try, or get started in Remote Viewing by
hopefully giving you something that will serve as helpful.


=================================================================

Activity #1 Results:
Last weeks target can be found here : http://tinyurl.com/s39gc

The closest description of this picture that was recieved was
the following from Skywire:

  - I got a feeling of deep, dark blue (ocean or sky, maybe?).
  - the most powerful feeling or adjective was rocking, like on
    a boat, or hanging, like tied on a string.
  - And lastly, I think the object or location has bits of
    orange, like leaves, or a pencil, or something.
  - My conclusion? A tree outside your house, or something near
    water.

My comments on this are as follows: Once the blue was recieved,
the imagination kicked in and gave the most obvious answers
associated with the color blue. This being the ocean, or sky,
and the later on the deciding the rocking feeling was a boat.
As you can see there was the color orange, and leaf looking
shrapnel(or the explosion, if you look at it in such a way),
which again led the imagination interpretating the guy as a
tree(notice in an odd way he does bear resembelence to one).

=================================================================

Activity #2:
So after throwing the previous out there, It would be silly if
I didn't do at least one more Remote Viewing activity to help
get you going. So this weeks Activity 2 is going to be a bit
different. We are going to throw out coordinates, because they
seem to add more confusion than they are worth to most people.
I am simply going to pick an object and assign that object as
"Oneta's Object" and you simply have to pose to yourself the
question of what that object is. Simple huh? We'll find out!
Good luck to you all!

=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

Pancour asks:
"I've been doing this for about two months, with a bit of
success, and the other day, I read an article about phasing. I
can't find it again, but I do remember it saying that it was
very painful and a hassle, but my question is:  Is there any
use for this technique, everything has a purpose, so what could
the purpose of this be?  I imagine that if the object you were
phasing through was small and fast, you wouldn't feel much, but
I'm not sure...  On a side note, is there anything you recommend
against practicing when using psionics?"

My comments: First off, the whole idea of the painful side of
phasing is due to the massive amount of reactions going on, if
you accomplished phasing. First you would have to basically
temporarily unbalance or change the natural forces that hold
your hand in its solid state as it is. This could possibly be
the most painful part in itself...could you possibly imagine if
your hand just destabalized the whole new sensation your brain
would have to comprehend? Maybe it is not so much pain as an
overwhelming feeling, such as electrical shocks and what not.
I would also have to say, phasing through something would
be very similiar to going through objects in OBE form, just
a bit more overwhelming due to the physical factor that is not
present in OBEs. In all I would simply compare it to having an
OBE while being awake, and we all know how violent/painful the
some of the vibrations we recieve during the progress of OBEs
can be. Second of all, I wouldn't recommend spending my time
on combat. Not because I'm some crazy hippy who hates violence,
but simply because overall, by the time you achieve a good
enough base to actually accomplish something more than
disrupting someones energy field to cause them anything more
than aggravation, you could be lifting weights, and have a
round about in one millionith the time you spent practicing
psi. It simply pales in comparisson to anything else.

=================================================================

"Sometimes it feels like I'm "leaking" energy from my hands (this
happens whenever I try to manipulate psi). When I try to make
a psi ball I can't seem to keep the energy focused in one spot.
Do you have any tips on shelling I could use?"

My comments: Mostly people getting into psionics, feel the
effects of energy manipulation even when they aren't practicing,
maybe yours is simply a lingering feeling. But to be sure,
practice once a day moving psi around to different parts of your
body until you have enough control over it and you can sustain
it in your body, instead of having it drift places you don't
want it to go. As for focusing in one spot, try practicing
awareness, then place your awareness between your hands, and
direct the psi to your awareness. Also simply by having your
awareness present in the the creation area of a construct gives
it more of a direction to follow. Rather than spinning wildly
in the air, It is in the space controlled by your awareness.

Newsletter #28, for April 7, 2006

"Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth."
- Ludwig Borne


Dear PsiPog Users,

Progress is still rolling in the new design of Psipog, and
according to peebrain, everyone will be able to contribute their
knowledge. This means whether you have already started, or
simply have something in mind to share, write it out and have
it ready to start the design off with bang!

Also, I recieved comments concerning the issue of phasing.
For the most part everyone agress on one point : Phasing could
be dangerous/painful. So if you care to try anything in the way
of phasing, you have been warned, IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

=================================================================

I recieved this suggestion from Micah:
Hey, after reading your small introduction to RV I've come with
an idea - why don't you write more about telling the difference
between your simple, obvious thoughts and the real information
you come up with? Describing a few real life examples would be,
in my humble opinion, very useful, wouldn't it? :)

So here goes...
First off, this is the hardest part when it comes to any skill
relating to such thing as thoughts or recieving information from
outside sources and interpreting it into your own perception.
The best way to figure out the difference, is to know your own
perception of things as well as you can. Take for instance, if
you grow flowers for a living(or hobby), and you recieve the
color green. Most likely green is what you most associate with
flowers, or plants, therefore causing your mind to think
"Ohhh it might be a flower!". When this happens your mind
switches to the mindset of flowers, and starts trying to
create the rest of this image of this "flower". It pulls from
your knowledge of flowers, and starts trying to plug bits of
information in to make what you are recieving make sense. So
now you have all this information, and you are almost positive
it is a flower or maybe its even become a meadow of flowers by
now. And then the fateful moments comes....and it is a green
crayon. You are totally blown away with where all the rest came
from and feel dissapointed you weren't correct.

Where did it all go wrong? I would say it went wrong when you
tried to make a mountain out of a molehill. Don't try and make
something more than what it is, or try and build off of a
simple piece of information, this is where the imagination,
and our own ideas of things get in the way. No matter what kind
of information, or in what form you recieve, take note of it,
and move on. If you spend too much time on one piece of
information, your mind is going to start trying to link it
with things it knows. This is where it is up to you to decide
whatever information you recieved, be it sights, sounds,
smells, or just strictly information itself, or... just simply
your imagination.

It could also help if you practice communication with your
subconscious. You can find it here :
http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=36
This can possibly help achieve a clearer communication for
better recieval of information. Which may in the end help
prevent confusion on what are your own thoughts, and those
from another source. In the end it all comes down to be
different for each person. While one may recieve informtation
in the form of images, another may recieve it as sound, and so
on, and then there is most common reported strictly just
information. To say one is more accurate than another is all
about personal preference, and I suggests doing what ever
works best for you.

As for examples from my own experience of times when I
incorrectly guessed or during my practices :

A)I once decided something was a duck simply from the color
yellow, and the feeling of the feather like texture...turned
out to be a dandelion.

B)Another time I got a barn, and then when I got the color
brown I automatically assumed their was a tree around.

C)I once had a target of sponge bob for someone, and they came
up with the color orange with the rest of the information,
which was lacking from mine. When they found out what the
target was, they informed me their friend had a spongebob
within view which had an orange hat.

I hope these help you get the idea of how things within your
daily life can affect the way your mind treats RV.

=================================================================

Activity #2 Results: My object from last newsletter was my
camera, and since I can't take a picture of it :P, here is a
link to what one looks like http://tinyurl.com/mors7. The
interesting part is that I left a few pictures on it just for
the heck of it, and it seems they may have played more of a role
than I would of thought.

I recieved some comments on what it was, and here are a few of
them.

The following is from Scott:
Here's my thought on Oneta's Object:
-Snapping-ish   ... like something that connects things together
-Different points  ... spiky like an animal or hair brush
-cushioned
-bright colors.
-long background stable solid color dark.

This was a bit odd as it almost perfectly describes the very
first picture that was on my camera. The picture can be found
here : http://tinyurl.com/guhmn . I found this to be very
exciting results as it shows the connections made in simply
assigning the object as the camera.

Caleb commented on seeing "a black-ish circle object a ball
or cd maybe. I dont know possibly with some other dark colors
on it"

Could this be the gears in the other pic? Or the lens of the
camera? To me this example shows how variant the information
recieved during RV is. Some get the whole picture, than some,
maybe due to it being their first time, or the variant nature of
RV get less of the full picture than others.

=================================================================

Activity #3: This exercise is going to involve making an
intelligent construct and try and get it to maintain itself for
more than a few days. Your intelligent construct can be anything
such as animal or small faries...if you must. Program them with
basic movements and commands, and don't forget about their
energy supply so they don't die out. Try this for the next 2
weeks and then send in your results towards the end of the
second week. Good luck all!

=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

True Psion concerns:
A few months ago, I tried OBEing. I tried doing this for a month
or so before getting discouraged. Because of this, I now have
trouble doing Psionics again. I can't move the wheel like I used
to and something as simple as psi-manipulation has become a
hassle to perform. I think it may be the trouble I had with the
OBEs. I ask, how would you go about regaining confidence if you
were in this situation? Also, do you know of any easy ways to
OBE besides the classic ROPE technique, waking up early, and
the similar techniques.

My comments: First off, I have never had never had an OBE while
I was actually attempting to. Normally when I attempt I end up
falling asleep, and having a less exciting time, than when I go
to sleep normally. Any time I've ever experienced an OBE was
when I was not really attempting to. I find it is easier to
achieve an OBE when you remain passive about it, rather than
stressing it. When you put so much stress on something and then
it doesn't come through it is natural for you to feel more let
down than if you approach it passively. As for the decline in
other, it could very well be you lack enthusiam to get things
done, so you don't put enough effort into. Basically you should
approach things with enough of an emphasis to achieve it, but
not so much that if things don't go according to plan you get
discouraged.

=================================================================

Chris wonders:
I can be doing anything and concentrate a little and I will feel
a sensation where I concentrate on. Say I concentrate on my
hands I start feeling a sensation sometimes feeling like
pressure or an odd sense of pain( one that doesn't hurt all that
much). I can move this senstation around and sometimes I feel as
though something is running down my arms but then the sensation
changes in my hands to something that doesn't hurt. My question
is what exactly is it that I am feeling? Is it the way psi is
suppose to "feel" or is it something like biofeekback?

My comments: This would seem to fall more under the factors of
awareness, or as some call it sensitivity. You can try some of
the exercises listed here http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=87
such as imagine your awareness traveling into another room, and
then record your feelings, or expanding it out upon your general
surroundings and see how it feels. All in all it sounds like you
are making good progress so far, you just need some ideas to get
you going in further advancing your clarity of it.

=================================================================

Rickti asks:
Hi when I'm making a Psiball I get light headed, but its not
when I'm getting energy. Its when I'm making the ball and I'm
sitting on the ground outside.

My comments: You could simply be overexerting yourself energy
wise, and may be feeling this in the form of fatigue. Even
though you are drawing energy, maybe you are putting out more
than you are taking in and in the end, you are just gettting
dizzy.

=================================================================

Sircubes delivers:
First off, let me start off with an introduction of myself. I am
15 and I am a gamer.  I have wanted to do things in what would
involve  controlling my energy and things like that forever.  I
just never believe it was possible.  I would always daydream in
school, usually about a fantasy world, I suppose you could refer
to things like Final Fantasy and Lord of the Rings.  One day,
some friends decided to introduce me into the world of Magick,
like witchcraft used in the Pagan/Wiccan religion. I myself do
not belong to any religion, but as we did things together,
relating, I would sense energy and things like
that.  My mind grows more open each day and I can feel my own
potential rising. As i got more into the stuff, even though i
knew little of it, I would develop my own beliefs, I guess you
would say, on it.  Magick seemed just another term for chi, psi,
energy, ki, and all those other synonyms.  One day, while
searching through a forum, about a specific game, I found a
topic related to the paranormal. That led me to PsiPog.  And I
learned how to make my first psiball and soon after a shield :).
Before long I was able to see it with my own eyes and my sense
became greater.  I even got a friend to experiment
with me.  I taught him how to make a psiball, and we both could
see each others.  It was all fun, but before long, we started
to not pay much attention to it and I began to forget about
psipog. After a while I began experimenting with my thoughts
on how to use telekinesis, phase, teleport, and things relating
to psionics as a whole.  I haven't been successful yet :).  I
have had my experiences with lucid dreaming and de ja vu rather
frequently.  There was like a two month period where i had
nothing but lucid dreams, but they are hard to come by now.
I recently wanted to find PsiPog again, but I had forgotten
the name itself.  I figured it would pop up somewhere and I
managed to find it on April 1st where a forum I go to had a
thread about the jokes being played on that day.  It had a
link to the Wikipedia section and it was the first one listed,
about the whale homepage, which I found amusing :).  Oddly
enough, when I went to the Wikipedia entry later that day,
this site was not listed.

Currently I have mainly been reproducing shields when i feel
needed, Im not entirely sure on how stable they are, but I like
to make them anyway.  I also play around with my energy, like
swirl some of it around me and move it back and forth.  I read
the last three articles of the newsletter so far, and have found
it to be pretty interesting. I tried the thing where you move
your fingers in a circular motion to make a psiball, and it was
the clearest psiball I have seen myself make.  I suppose I
should move on to some questions now, Im not sure if they are
in the Q & A section, but I dont have that much time to
look right now.

Those dreams where it seems you are completely paralyzed and
something is going to attack you, what do those usually mean?
I have had a total of 3 where I had woken up in my bed and i
was paralyzed and there was something above me.  The first time
I had no choice but to watch, I only managed to throw my covers
off.  The second time I managed to break three of the paralyzed
state and reach for the thing above me, it merely floated, or
ran,  away, then I woke up.  The third time I made myself wake up
before  anything happened.  Next time this happens I want to go
through  with it a little more, is this a good idea? What info
is known about those types of dreams?

I have also had dreams  where they feel real (most of my dreams
feel real, they have  gotten to the point where I cant tell a
difference at all) and I have been pulled by an invisible force
towards somewhere. In another, I was in that paralyzed state on
my steps to my basement under my covers (when my bedroom was in
the basement)

What is known about teleportation?  I plan to be
able to do it, at least once, in my life, it may be a little
unrealistic at the time being for me, but I also don't plan
on being able to do it until i learn more ;)..  What I imagine
though is that it will be really painful and extremely hard to do.

One of my main and obvious problems is doubt, like when I try
to do telekinesis.  Do you know of any way to help get around
that?

I havent read very many articles on this site, but what I have
read has helped a lot, thank you very much for having this as
an open resource.  Sorry for the long... message, I just
wanted to get some info across before I got into the questions
that I have :).

My comments: First off, Congratualations on your success so far.
To move on to the first question. What you described is similiar
to what is commonly known as Sleep Paralysis. It is hard to
explain a general concept of what it is besides the inability to
move when you are seemingly awake. What everyone sees while
experiencing Sleep Paralysis, varies as much as dreams do.
Mainly it has been describe in this manner...On your way to
sleep your mind shuts off your whole body, except for your eyes.
Upon a certain moment during the night, your mind wakes up
enough for you to open your eyes, but your body remains asleep,
therefore you can't move. The reason you "hallucinate" things
is because your mind is still halfway asleep, but also
processing what you are seeing, and therefore you see things
you shouldn't. If you still have questions, just search the net
for "Sleep Paralysis". And from my experience of Sleep Paralysis
it was completely safe to sit through it, provided you assure
yourself what is going on is just created by yourself after
all.

For your dreams that seem extremely real, we all go through
this once in a while. As for your explanation of being pulled
somewhere, the closest explanation I can offer is from my
own experience of one time during Sleep Paralysis. Upon
realizing I couldn't move, my vision kinda split in two even
though it was of the same thing, it was literally like I was
seeing two different images of the same thing, rather than
the way our brain converges what we see into one. There was
a strange feeling of being pulled towards a point in my room
but no movement ever resulted from it. Then it quickly faded,
and I drifted out and back into a frozen state, where upon
I saw the door to my kitchen and felt this feeling, except this
time it was pulling me at the door, to where I couldn't really
pull off the door once I was basically smushed up against it.
What was this? I am not sure, but I know it started as Sleep
Paralysis. My suggestion is get used to it happening, and try
and take advantage of it, such as attempt an OBE while your
body is unable to move. Which method you use is up to you, but
there are a few out there to try.

As for Teleportation, I can only direct you to the following
source : http://tinyurl.com/jtple

Now for subject of doubt....First off, I have been doing this
for a while now, and I still have doubts. Doubt is an essential
quality of life. Without doubt, we'd definately be doing some
crazy things throughout our life, and more than likely most of
them are things you would doubt you would ever do now. Doubt is
simply being unsure of something. You can do all kinds of stuff
and then look back, but are you really sure you did them? Doubt
is a very flexible thing, and it is simply an uncertainty you
have pertaining to a certain issue. If I asked you "How many
coins are in this jar?", you would give me an answer, but you
would still be uncertain if it was right. Does that stop you
from pouring open the jar and counting them to prove to see what
the number really is? Well...It shouldn't...but who knows, maybe
it does someone, but it doesn't stop most if they really care.
So why should doubt stop you from carrying out your practices
to produce the results, such as you would open the jar and
count the pennies? Also, doubt is a mind set, it is not
absolute. When you start doubting yourself you create the
feeling of uneasiness in what you are doing, and then this
leads to worse thoughts like "Oh this is never going to work"
and "I have been sitting here forever trying and nothing".
All the while these thoughts are flooding your head, and you
are focusing on them, you could be focused on practicing TK,
and that is where the mind set of doubt gets you most. So
remember : Just because you have doubt about something, doesn't
stop you from carrying out the necessary actions to produce
accurate results.

Newsletter #29, for April 23, 2006

wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to
yearn for the vast and endless sea."

- Antoine de Saint Exupery



Dear PsiPog Users,

Lot of excellent responses so far, especially in terms of
the letters recieved. While there is plenty of response to the
newsletter itself, it lacks in responses to the activities. If
everyone is worried about whether their attempts will look
silly to others, and would rather just wait to compare to
other's responses, no responses get sent in. Try and have a
positive attitude about it and then everyone else will follow
in step, and you might just find they had the same, if not a
similiar experience, as you.

=================================================================

This next bit is from a user expressing their suggestions for
letting those around you know about your interest in psi:

Coming out of the closet

   Okay first I just want to give my regard to everyone that's
made this newsletter possible, there really isn't anything like
this in much places.

   One of the biggest problems most psions have in their life is
deciding whether or not someone should or shouldn't know that
they practice psionics, sure it all seems easy in theory "just
tell them and whatever happens happens", but in real life you
need to remember that once you come clear there's no coming back
(except if someone just thinks your kidding :P). Well anyways,
I've heard many cases of people being depressed because their
parents have negative thought about this ind of stuff, just
keep in mind that most people just think different than most of
us do, its important to accept it, because trying to prove them
otherwise, could be misinterpreted as you being delusional or
have been brainwashed. But don't worry all is not lost, one
thing that always works for me is talking  to whoever you want
to come clean with BEFOREHAND about the matter, see what their
thoughts are, its allot easier this way since they're probably
going to give you their actual thoughts about it, but this is
just step one.

Step two can be one of the following:

-Tell them, say your really interested in psionics, giving
them information you've heard and hearing out their opinion,
let them know that you plan on researching more, however don't
tell them you're a Psion because if you tell them too soon after
you introduce the idea into them their really not going to give
you an honest or even fair reaction.

-SHOW THEM, this may come as a surprise for some people but the
vast majority of people that are skeptical need to see to
believe, why? Because knowing that you think isn't enough for
them, just show them something and do as t were a trick, what I
did personally with a friend is that I made certain parts of his
hand cold, then he asked me how I did it, then I said that I
read something about it and that I was practicing, that it want
really a trick, that I hade done it with my mind. His first
reaction was being intrigued, he wanted to know if I could do
anything else, then I did some basic telepathic suggestion. I
sent a number to his head and later on I told him wich one it
was,  lucky for me I was able to consecutively send a 1to5,
then 1to10 then 1to20 and 1to50 (1to100 didn't work out).
But what's important here is that he was one of my best friends,
wich is the people you should tell first, and having pushed away
any doubts he had on the matter beforehand, it was a lot easier
for him (or anyone) to accept that someone can be able to do
stuff like that.

This is where most people mess up and then go to the chat
complaining, you gotta make sure someone believes in psionics
before you say you practice it.

Now be assured, YOU SHOULDNT, no matter how confident you are,
let EVERYONE know, it would be a big mistake, reading one of
not_important's articles he didn't seem very happy with the
attention being able to drag chairs comes with. There will
always be people out there looking to bust your chops, asking
you to do this, do that, prove this, explain to them, get mental
help; but its all part of living in the society that we are in,
and quite frankly until there is a major social event in wich
psionics would be involved there wont be massive acceptance
whatsoever.

Concerning parents: Most users here are barely 14 or 15, meaning
that most live with at least one guardian, so I should say
something apart for this case. NEVER try to enforce an idea to
them, they do know more than you even though not when it comes
to this and they DO have authority over you, making them have
weird thoughts about you is the last thing you might want. Try
talking to them, see if something has ever happened to them
concerning psychics and what there ideas are on it. Some people
like me might find that one of there parents are a lot more
positive on the subject, I had no idea my dad once had a near
death experience.

Confront them individually, just remember that there are
different people and they are likely to have different ideas,
its also pretty bonding if its "your little secret" with one of
them, its very good to find support if you ever get overloaded
or if you experience something for the first time and your
scared. But sometimes its better if you just know that they
accept it (you might just want acceptance, they don't really
need to say "I accept you"), you don't need to tell them, just
live your life normally, practice PK or something in the
kitchen, they'll catch on, or maybe they won't. Something I
know is that most people feel uneasy about keeping secrets
from a relative. Just see what their ideas are on the topic
and do what you feel is best. I'm not saying you should
keeps secrets to your guardian(s), this is just for reference.

Now to conclude I hope whoever reads this finds it insightful,
I personally have told the friend I mentioned earlier, another
that was practicing energy manipulation without any reference
and ended up getting overloaded in some big party and his
brother, who told their sister, who told all my class, wich
though she was just kidding, but then I started getting random
people come talk to me personally about
psionics, to a point that I found out that one of my friends
brother studies that kind of stuff since he was 12 (he's
finishing college, don't know his age)… al to the point that
I know at least 7 people in my town that practice psionics, I
just had to be careful, and try not to mess up beyond repair.

=================================================================

Last week's Activity: This exercise is going to involve making
anintelligent construct and try and get it to maintain itself
for more than a few days. Your intelligent construct can be
anythingsuch as animal or small faries...if you must. Program
them withbasic movements and commands, and don't forget about
theirenergy supply so they don't die out. Try this for the next
2 weeks and then send in your results towards the end of the
second week.

=================================================================
Activity #4: This one was given to me by Xict and it goes as
follows :

While attending daily life take a minute to pause and look at
your surroundings. For example : Look out a window and try to
obtain as much detail as you can of the area you see. When
ready, close your eyes and take as much time as you need to
re-create the image in your head. Try to include as much as you
can. With practice you will more easily be able to recall
objects in places you have already visited and thus increasing
your ability to visualize.

=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

Corey asks:
Hi, for some reason I always seem to have deja vu every single
day. All the time I feel like I already did this or that. In
fact now I feel deja vu I dont know whats up with all this but I
would love to go further in time to see my future or other
peoples futures. My mother has all these incredibly weird
dreams and feelings all the time she has pretty much felt death.
Her head hurt so much long ago she felt as if she was going to
pass out, and then around 9:00 she got a phone call explaning
to her that her aunt died from a stroke. also for every bad
dream I have if i get stabbed or something ill wake up and find
my the place were I was stabbed would throb with pain my mom says
its just from sleeping weird,but this happens everytime. What
should I do?

My comments: First off, I've experienced the thing with dejavu
before, in which I would go about my day and a lot of things
would happen in which I thought I had experienced before, but
had in no way actually experienced such, because it would be
at times and places I was positive I hadn't been to before. The
only explanation would be that I dreamed the place or event,
but didn't remember it. I've also assumed, maybe I knew the
event was going to happen on some level, and the "dejavu" was
simply an assurance of things happening according to what I
had in mind. Keep in mind by some level, I mean one that was
not concious to me.

As for the things your mother experienced these things are
common occurances in life. People have experienced them for
years. Not only does this occur in relatives, but it also
occurs in some connections with psychiatrist and their patients.
One simply needs a connection to another, and a certain
sensitivity towards that connection to experience such.

The last part about sleeping wrong could very well be that you
are sleeping wrong, or simply the fact that your body
simply replicates the experience in your sleep, which is common
in such cases as people who sleepwalk.

=================================================================

IanuSempai concerns:
I have seen reports of people that create psiballs that
actually visibly appear, but during all of my attempts, this
has never happened. I'm entirel ysure that the psiballs are
actually there, seeing as I can feel them, and I can feel my
energy flowing into them, but I could never see them. What's
weird is that my one friend who has no training whatsoever in
psionics said he saw it even when I didn't tell him I was making
one. What's going on?

In the guides on the site, it says to use an energy source for
your Pyrokenesis. However, instead of designating a target, I
just use my own energy. This, as it should, leaves me very cold,
but sometimes, the object I'm trying to heat up becomes cold.
It has only happened a few times, but It's enough to freak
me out. Am I accidentally using Cryokenesis? It seems unlikely,
but I'm told by my brother that it's possible.

My comments: Your friend could possibly be more sensitive to
energy at this point in time. thought seeing is not everything,
such as if things are dark, and you can't see well, you are
going to try and feel your way through the dark, rather than
relying on sight. So why should you rely on it at all time?

As for the Pyrokinesis part, the whole concept is to speed up
the particles of an object enough to increase the heat content
inside of it. To cool down an object would be just the opposite.
To slow down the particles, to where they don't produce so much
heat. From this, the explanation of accidently doing one, while
attempting the other cannot be done, unless I know more about
the method you are using. For assumption's sake, I take from
what you said, that you are trying to take energy from yourself
and put it into an object to heat it up, rather than just
having the object heat itself up. Using your energy to act as
a catalyst for the object, since it needs energy to move faster,
would seem more effective than having your energy do all the
work. With all this said there is one more possibility that
with all the energy of yours you are putting into an object,
when you become cold, your energy may mock that and cause the
object to become such.

=================================================================

Dayvid asks:
I think I made a psiball on my third try but it looked like a
spherical shadow and it felt like static electricity in my palm.
I wanted to find out if I made one because I have never read
anything like this.  Also how many times do you have to use a
skill with an anchor  to achieve successful anchoring?

My comments: I onced showed my sister a demonstration of a
construct and she explained how it felt cold and staticy, so it
sounds like you are doing a good job on that part. As for
anchoring, it could be different for each person, but the
article was just a general outline to go by, not a definite
representation of it. Just keep up the good work, and if
something doesn't first work out the way you expect, don't
give up.

=================================================================


Ninja Wolfness wonders:
Me and my friend did telpathy across the internet, and he lives
in the United States and I live in Canada. and it sorta worked.
He was trying to send me a feeling from a video game, and i got
what he was sidetracked with : going to the beach, so it wasn't
totally successful. And I can make my hands go sorta warm and
cold, but it usually doesnt work. I've tried psi-wheel, and I
can't really do a psiball. So I'm curious, are some people just
not able to do some stuff, or is there an something easier I
could do to start off TK, other than a psiwheel, cause thats not
working for me so far. Am I totally not figuring out something
from all the excercizes I've read on the net? I am really
interested in doing psi-stuff..but havent had much success.
Any tips?

My comments: As for the being able to do some things and not
others, there can be the possiblity that you are better at first
in certain categories than others. This doesn't mean you can't
do the others without practice, it just means that you are going
to have to work harder in some categories than others. As for
suggestions, you sound like you are really interested, and due
to this you may be putting too much stress on recieving results
that you are simply trying too hard. Take it slow, and don't
rush things, because putting too much stress on getting results
only makes a bad outcome seem worse than it really is.

=================================================================

Telepsycho brings up:

Ok. I have a few things.

First off:
question about my dreams. Sometimes when my eyes are a bit tired
and I go to sleep, I have this weird dream. It has happened to
me a few times. Ok, here it is: I fall asleep, and after some
time, some beats come to me, like something coming at me, but
not hurting me and making a beat. There are big beats, which
sometimes look like gray, round rocks. The smaller ones are
round too, but are a pale yellow or middle-pail green, like a
point of light. The big ones feel like they are blocking my
path, and the smaller ones are just there and are as if they
let me pass through them. They come in regular intervals and
sometimes, two big beats come at the same time with a small
one in between. I call them beats because they come at me but
stop when they reach me. Like heartbeats. Your opinions on what
this is? BTW, I don't think it is a frustration dream.

Second thing:
I read the previous newsletter and noticed that the same
experience Rickti had, had been experienced by other people
on psipog or in previous newsletters. I think the solution
was that the sitting on the ground made them lose energy
through the ground.

Third thing: (Removed, read below)

Fourth thing:
I don't really believe time travel is possible, because time is
an idea, not a fact. In the world, there are no records of lets
say 56 AD or 386 BC. The world does not have time. It is just a
thought that lets us organize our life. To go back in time means
to make the earth spin backwards along with all the other
planets, and that is impossible. But since everything is
possible, well, I am not really confident that time travel is
possible. I mean, time is not a factor like gravity or
electricity that can be made change in nature.

My Comments:
First part...I had similiar experience one time at the beginning
of an OBE. I was laying there, and then starting getting the
feelings of waves going over my body, then I heard what sounded
like heartbeats but longer and more exaggerated, after 3 of them
another wierd wave came over me, and I moved out of my body. On
my return, I heard my neighboors leaf blower running, and got
up to see what the loud noise was, but after I got up, I noticed
the sound was not as loud as I first thought it was. So from
this I concluded that possibly the beats I heard were just
amplification of the sound of my heartbeat.

Second thing...I cannot say too much on the matter myself, as
I don't make grounding a regular practice of my own. But I would
assume be closer to the object you are trying to send your
energy into would increase your prociency in doing so.

Third thing...
I removed this part because while you seem to have the basic
idea of Teleportation, no one knows for sure how such would work,
and we really don't need to worry about members trying to work
on things as experimental as such. But just for knowledges sake,
mainly because I recieved other responses to Teleportation, the
theory stands that Teleportation would not be anything in the
sense of phasing through air, because simply put, open air is
not the end all connection from one thing to another. After all
"empty" air is still full of matter and particles, just as
everything else is.

Fourth thing...Time is a state of matter at intervals, if things
never changed, time would not exist as there would be no measure
to relate it to. So to refer to going back in time is simply
implying you can return something to the state it was before at
any given interval in the "past". This is where various theories
factor in, and I'm not going to say one theory is better than
the other.

Newsletter #30, for May 06, 2006

Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there except those that sang the best.
– Henry Van Dyke



Dear PsiPog Users,
Recently I've been busy with personal business so the
newsletter's been coming at random times during the weekend
at the two week marker. No matter what though, I'll make sure
it gets there within in the two week limit.

=================================================================

Last week's Activity:

While attending daily life take a minute to pause and look at
your surroundings. For example : Look out a window and try to
obtain as much detail as you can of the area you see. When
ready, close your eyes and take as much time as you need to
re-create the image in your head. Try to include as much as you
can. With practice you will more easily be able to recall
objects in places you have already visited and thus increasing
your ability to visualize.

=================================================================
Activity #5: This activity came from Azric and is as follows :

I have an idea for a game involving pinging. It is a simple
game to play with psions that are in your area. Let's say that
2 psions are in a room together, one is the 'pinger' person
performing the ping, and the 'pingee' is the person reciving
the ping. This is to be done at random times & intervals. For
arguments sake, lets say it is in a classroom, where you want
to keep your psionics a secret, its fun and well, I believe
discreet is the word I would like to use here. The pinger
sends a loud noise or some form of distraction to the pingee,
upon recieving the ping, the pingee looks toward the pinger.
If the pinger HAS sent a ping, they simply mouth the word ping.
Then, to prove that the pingee has actually recieved a ping,
or just looked up coincidently, they nod or shake their head
in correspondance.



=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================
Staysee suggests:

I have a suggestion for anyone trying Aerokinesis:

1) Take a walk and connect to your hands energetically while
you walk (think of strings of energy or a psiball)

2) As you are walking, you are building Kinetic Energy that can
be translated into Psychokinetic Energy

3) I move my hands in a rhythmic pattern as I walk while
maintaining their energetic connection (very similar to
liquid dancing)

4) Pay close attention to how the wind is communicating (it
helps to think of these as a communication between you and the
wind as opposed to forcing it to do this or that)

5) Turn your attention to connecting the Energy you have built
in your hands to the Wind.

6) Be Patient.

I think you'll be delighted with the results !!

Have fun

My comments: I've noticed a lot of requests for this on the
forums, It seems a lot of people newer to PK are interested
in the sort. So here it is for those who are, and good luck
to those of you who try it out. Also a little reminder, that
all forms of PK are basically the same concept. Even when
moving wind, you are simply moving around the air, the same
as you would move your psiwheel, or speed up the particles
in an object to heat it up.

=================================================================

Veno asks:

I had only started working with psi about last year. I
had made one psi ball in my room and in an elevator I
could feel the energy moving through my arms, forming the ball
and felt the ball in my hands. Now I can barely feel anything
at all whether it be the energy traveling to my hands or the
energy in my chest and the ball in my hands.
What could be the problem? Does the fact that I
started during a time when it was raining outside play
any role at all?

Also only after I had started working on psionics my
hands have been doing this thing in which they start
tingling in the pores. I want to know if this has happened
to any other people and if not why is it happening ?

Thank you for your time

My comments: At first most people are more sensitive due to
the fact that it is a new stimulus, such as when you first
go swimming in cold water, and eventually you don't feel
the temperature of the water any longer. Or when you first come
in to an air conditioned room after being in the heat all day.
Unless it is something different from you have normally been
experiencing. Physical feelings are a bit harder to ignore
rather than such things as hot/cold stimulus. But after a
constant of application of such physical stimulus, we don't
focus on it as much as we would a newer one. Such as,
you do not focus on your clothes all day long, but if you
think about them, you can feel them. The same works for
energy, the more you focus on energy, the better you can
feel/sense it. There is a guide to sensitivity you can find
here : http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=87 That should help
alot on getting your feel for energy back. As for rain having
to do with anything....it seems the only affect the rain had
was to keep you inside long enough to try psi out.

Also, it is common to feel energy in your hands, or tingling
when you start working with energy manipulation, as you
are getting used to the whole new feelings and control.

=================================================================

Kiss expresses:

My weridest attempt for an OBE occured about 5 days ago.
Here's what happened: I went to sleep and stuff. I had a lucid
dream and I wanted to leave my physical body, but got stuck. I
heard whirling sounds, and wanted to know what was behind all
this. So I asked "who are you?". Suddenly, VERY heavy
vibration were induced and my heart beat faster. I was resisting
and finally I woke up. Very werid experience. Words can't
express what I mean. Had anything similar to this?

My Comments: The only thing I've had similiar to this would be
what I classify as Sleep paralysis. I would normally wake up
from the middle of another dream, and then I would be laying
there and all of a sudden my mind would shift to maybe ghosts
or the fact of it being dark in the room. At this point, an
overwhelming feeling of fear/another presence would sweep over
me, usually followed by horrible sounds of various types, from
such things as tv static to slow voice like sounds. Normally,
I would recognize it for what it was, and let it pass, since
in reality it seemed to be a state of being half awake while
in a sense dreaming at the same time. I've never worried any of
it as malicious, and have probably had some that would make most
people assume something evil is out to get them. In my
experience I would have to say, that it is simply a point
where you don't fully wake up, and the part that does is
normally bombarded with dream-like images and sounds, creating
the illusion of something real.

=================================================================

KingKai wonders:

Lets say you make a psi-ball, and you want to throw it at
somebody (ping), then do you HAVE to program it? So i guess my
question is - Do you always HAVE to program it?
Thanks in advance :)

My comments : This can go either way. First if your friend is
sensitive enough, and the construct that you send at him is
strong enough, he should recognize it on arrival. Upon
recognizing it, he can scan it for its source, since you made
it, it will contain your signature, and then he will know who
sent it. Second you can actually program the construct to
carry the idea of getting his attention and your name with
it, and when it gets to him, it will let him know who sent it,
and he may recognize it when it gets there, better than the
first method. But third of all....if you can ping in the first
place, I don't think you should rely on a construct to do it
for you, unless, you want a continous ping, setup for certain
intervals. Good luck.

=================================================================

Caleb recommends:

I'm a remote veiwer by no means, but I am trying to improve.
The method I've been using is a standard deck of cards. I find
it very useful because you can do different things with it.

1. You can just simply flip through the cards one by one tyring
to guess first color, then when you get better, guess the suit,
and then possibly the face or number of  a card.
The possibilities are endless.

2. You can try to think of a card color or suit, and open it
to that point.

3. You could split them up into red pile, and a black pile; and
not look at them until the end then tally hits and misses.

4. THERES SO MUCH MORE. YOU COULD EVEN PRACTICE IN PUBLIC
WITHOUT NOTICE OF ANYONE ELSE!!!!

Best of all unlike if someone saw you with a deck of regular
cards. No one would think you were weird; unlike maybe if you
carried a deck of zeneir cards, and you can use different
levels of complexity. You could also learn a few simple magic
tricks, and impress your friends with sleight of hand.

So if your going to be practicing remote veiwing like I am, I
would recomend a deck of cards they're simple ; easy to find,
and no one is going to think you're different or weird for
having a deck of cards.

My comments: These are some good ideas for those thinking of
excersises with cards and those who would rather keep their
practicing on the down low. No matter what you use them, for
they seem to be pretty handy.

Dear PsiPog Users,
Recently Apollo has been revamping his site:
http://www.freewebs.com/psilinks/
You can periodically check it for everything you need on
information overload on psi. Also enjoying the long write ups
from you guys, it adds content to the newsletter, and saves me
time if I find myself busy at night, I feel better when I see
that there is going to be something I can plug in. so keep up
the good work, and keep the questions and such coming. And as
you all noticed, the newsletter has changed schedule from
just every two weeks to the 1st and 15th, this way it is easier
for me to keep up with.

=================================================================

Last week's Activity

=================================================================

Activity #5:

This time every take time upon going to sleep to try and
achieve and OBE. It is as simple as laying there till you feel
yourself drifiting off to sleep, and you are having brief
flashes of daydreams/minidreams. When this happens, try to
keep your mind awake while still experiencing what is happening
naturally. Once you feel ready(should be slight vibrations, or
a semi-detatched feeling from your body) to, try and focus on a
particular part of your body, and try and feel it moving out
and above your body. For a longer, and more understandable
reference go here : http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=10168


=================================================================
This was sent in by Obsidian, a handy idea to keeping clean of
excess buildup :

Keeping clean

It happens to all of us, you make a construct, and then after
practice it has no purpose. My point when I say this is that
something you all should know is that psi tends to accumulate
in places, usually as residual energy or as fragmented
constructs. My opinion as to why this happens is that you
program it to stay together.

Okay, so lets cut to the point, residual energy can be good or
bad. If you just want to make a quick psiball, you can use it.
As a matter of fact it can be used as a reservoir, however
unlike a reservoir it doesn't stay put, it can cause
interference in random ways, and some effects it can cause
include anxiety and malfunctioning electronics (you cant
ALWAYS blame windows :P ).

Now to "cleanse your field" you can simply wave your hand
around concentrating yourself on making it act sort of like
psi-glue, globing together any psi that wouldn't be there if
there weren't direct (or indirect) interference by a person,
but also you might not be able to do this. So another
technique would be making a psi-garbage ball, then make
it dissipate. All that I've said is ideal for fragmented
constructs, if its just residual energy you can easily ground
it. After this is done the room should feel different, try
practicing psi now and you might notice the difference.


Also, some might not want to dissipate whole or fragmented
constructs, you might find some random use for them, and you
might even find one with emotional value to you (I once found
my old Pac-man I spent an entire night playing with). You might
want to keep it in a corner or something, but I advise that
if you want to do this try shelling it to make sure it doesn't
dissipate by itself, program the shell to feed off you or
some other source, but don't forget about it since that
wouldn't be a healthy thing to do :P. Same goes for residual
energy, its good for making something quick since its right
there and its already been manipulated by you. Do the same
and shell it, you can program the shell to feed off you or
better yet the residual energy itself. This way you don't
have to worry about forgetting it or making shields that are
compatible with it, besides, better it than you, and it will
eventually consume itself anyways. As a matter of fact shelling
energy is a very good idea, sometimes when you have to ground
its better to do this, and its also good practice.


=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

Austin suggests:
I recently have taken up meditating (or maybe it's
self-hypnosis?) Either way, it really helps to calm yourself,
and clear your mind, and purify your energy. That's about the
best I can describe it.

What I do is I sit in the quietest place possible, place my
hands on my knees and sit comfortably in a crossed-leg
position. I close my eyes (to keep sensory input to a minimum)
and focus on trying to expand my mind. I don't understand how
this works, but I know that once you are meditating fully,
you feel almost as if you are weightless, in a large spherical
area, floating in the center. It feels as if there is a vast
space around you.

At this point, I begin to make subtle (or not-so-subtle)
changes to my mind and my mood. I tend to picture everything
as threads tied to me. In one hand I have a knife and in the
other I have a loop of more thread. If I want to eat, there
is a thread tied to me that also ties me to food. If I want
to remove that want, I slice it off with the knife. If I want
to create a desire, I simply reach out and tie the imaginary
thread to whatever it is I want to do.

Using this technique (I have only been able to do it very
effectively once) I was able to finish a large homework
assignment very quickly by focusing my desires on that one
thing. It also seems to help to have just exercised before
doing this because you will be out of breath and as you focus
on slowing your breathing down, your mind will calm and
quickly slip into a state of meditation.

This could probably be used in conjunction with a lot of
psionic stuff.


My Comments: This seems like a very good visualization for
meditation, and while not everyone may get the same results
from your technique, it certainly seems to be doing well for
you so far. Although I wouldn't advise too much on trying
to master hunger with a simple meditation technique, but for
something such as finishing homework or achieving a certain
state for later practice it seems to work well.


=================================================================

lttlpo asks:
I am new to psychokinesis. but I am willing to learn. Like most
people I would like to integrate my own ways into performing
psychokinesis. however, I am having difficulty. I have already
made a psiball, but thats all I can do. I am positive its there
since I feel the energy, but when I try to program it, it does
nothing. This may be that I am poor at visualizing. Maybe you
could write some exercizes of how to better enhance your
visualization. Thank you.

My Comments: Well first off, I think some people try and make
it harder than it is to begin with. If you can make a psiball,
and move energy than you are more than halfway there to
programming it. This is because when you program it, you are
telling it what actions to perform in the same manner you moved
it to get a psiball in the first place. Visualization is not
as hard as it may sound either. Take for instance, if I told
you to think of an apple, you are probably going to see an
apple in your imagination/head/thoughts, whatever you refer to
it as. Programming a construct with visualization is simply
seeing what you want it to do in your head, and then letting
it happen. It may help if you imagine sending this idea to
the construct you are programming as a packet of energy, but
this is up to what works for you.

=================================================================

Benjamin wonders:
Yesterday I started practicing Telekinesis, this evening it
worked. I felt something special. It was very strange, but I
want to get more advanced. And I'm worried it won't work
anymore. Please give me some advice on how I can get better
and how to do it actually (because I really don't know how I
did it, it was like a band between me and the paper...?).

My comments: Well first off, If you have read the articles on
Psipog and you are still confused, I'm not sure how much help
I can offer as I learned over half of the stuff I do now from
them. But I'll give it a try. First off, the whole concept of
linking to me seems to throw people in the first place. You
don't need some kind of equivalent of a telepathic link, you
just simply need to be aware of its existence, and the state
it is currently in. After you get the feel for this, you can
try and spin it, and see what it feels like when it is
spinning. Then when it slows down, simply recreate the feeling
you felt while it was spinning. If it helps, try and overlap
the feeling you get, and the visualization of of the object
spinning in your mind. If all goes well, you should be on your
way to TK in no time. If you need further help sensing things
try out this article : http://www.psipog.net/show.php?id=87

=================================================================

Anonymous says:

Okay, I made a psi ball. I couldn't make one at first,
but then I LET the energy flow; it worked. I think
that instead of doing psionics, we allow ourselves do
it.

What about intent? We have articles, but not
specifically on intent. So, can you tell me about it?

I made a new Macro Pk test. First, you set one of those
little styrofoam balls on a blank sheet of paper. The
you draw a tight circle around it. Then, you try to
move the ball out of the circle.

My Comments: Well if we allow ourselves to do something, we are
still participating in the act of doing it, so while I get your
point, allowing yourself to do something stills mean you are
doing it.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by intent, but I would see
anything you do in psionics would require a certain amount of
intent to get a certain task done without having something else
happen. I not sure how much one could write on intent, other
than : Yes it is required unless you want random results. How
else would you know what you wanted to accomplish, and whether
you got the results you wanted? I can clump psi together, but
if I start with the intent to make a psi-ball, I have the
pre-formed notion, and more than likely am going to visualize
a psi-ball to start with. Now if you are talking about
replacing visualization with intent, that is a matter of
personal opinion, and is up to whatever works best for you.


This would be a good idea for those who often mention seeing
small shifts in the object, but not sure if it actually moved
or if it was their eyes playing tricks on them. Some could
also use it as a personal goal for distance, or as you said
a game of sorts.

Newsletter #32, for June 15, 2006

" Every problem has a gift for you in its hands."

Richard Bach



Dear PsiPog Users,

Psipog is still alive and trucking along at a steady pace. The
chat has picked up as everyone is on vacations during the
summer. Stop by and beware if you come unarmed with a bag of
insanity to unleash on those who have truckloads of it. As for
the progress of the new site design, it is still being coded and
hopefully out some time in the near future. Other than that,
good luck in your practices and don't stress yourself too much.

Activity #5:
This activity involves a bit of Remote Viewing and Energy
Manipulation. What I want you do to is program a construct to
be your "camera" and send it off to some remote location you
will have later access to, like your friends house(but not
without permission, of course). Be sure and to program to
to take in sights in the area. Then program another construct
that will sit at your house and recieve the information from
your "camera". Afterwards link the two, and then try at random
times to link to the construct in your house, and see if you
recieve any information from your "camera" construct.

=================================================================
This was sent in by DjBenz, Its a bit lengthy, which is why I am
posting it here at the front :

In my research I came across Out of body experiences. I am
convinced as of last December that I have indeed accomplished
it. Though not of my free will. Its hard to explain now being
that it happened 3 months ago but...my friend claims he can see
ghosts...and I believe him. He also has Lucid Dreams(which
i've also been studying). It was Sunday the morning I woke up
and felt a strange sensation. I rose up and was about to get
out of my bed when something happened. I looked down at my
hands and I swear when I moved them it looked like they
were doing Bullet Time or something like The Matrix. I could
see the trails of my hands when I moved them and then Bam its
over. The next night I spent the night at my friends house. I
woke up that night and saw my friend sitting up watching tv,
but I was having that weird sensation again only this time it
was stronger. It was like the WHOLE room suddenly went all
trippy (no I do not to drugs). Seriously though, everything
was moving and I was getting scared. I look at my friend and
tried to get his attention so I put out myhand and tried to
tap him on his shoulder, but I LIE TO YOU NOT my hand went
right through his body! I'm surprised that my mind could
handle that. He stopped and turned around slowly and then
I looked at my hands again and finally came back to normal.
Later on that week he told me what he saw. When I told him that
I tried to tap him he said he felt this extreme hot sensation
not necesarily HOT like an iron, but the way he described it
it was like his blood boiled from the inside that kind of
hot. Anyways he was stunned for a second and slowly turned
around to see what it was, and told me that
he saw this smokey hazy kind of ghostly shape in the air and
it had my face and it was looking right at him, but then he
looked down beside it and he saw me laying down with my eyes
closed sleeping. And then I went back inside my body and I
woke up. Of course I was not aware of this, but I believed
him because I had never felt that before. It was amazing, but
it only happened when I went to sleep. I began to think that
since I knew how to go through the vibration process on my
own awake and laying down, but am too scared to follow
through with it. It doesn't happen, but theres no
need for fear when you're asleep so I thought that maybe I
just did the vibration thing when I was sleeping and somehow
when I left my body. This only happened for a week, and since
then I've been trying to do it again, but again I seem to get
scared when I feel its about to happen. But on the other
hand...I really don't want to admit I'm not ready...

Also an advance story for those of you still reading ^_^.
There was one morning that I was watching TV and my friend
was sitting beside me. I was laying down and all of a sudden
I went to sleep. When I woke up my friend was way on the
other side of the room and he looked scared. I asked him
franticaly what happened since we had been experimenting with
my new found ability. He told me that my sock was touching his
leg and that he suddenly felt that burning sensation again and
he jumped up and turned around to see what it was. He saw me
rise out my body and get sucked back in, and thats when I
woke up. Also my friend told me later on that there was
one night that he woke up, and saw me walking across his
room. I walked by the TV toward the bathroom and he called
out my name, but I didn't answer. He then got annoyed and
was about to go to sleep when he turned over and saw me right
next to him sleeping. He thought this couldn't be possible since
he just saw me go to the bathroom so he waited. Thinking that
there might be someone else in his house, but he was to scared
to go look. Then when he saw me come out the bathroom and cross
the TV he said it looked like I was gliding across the room,
and then I went back into my body. Now the only explanation I
have for that since I don't recall this happening is that I was
somehow sleep walking, but in OBE form, which seems very odd.
Anyway these events only took place that week, but the symptoms
that I went through when it happened were so nerve breaking that
I stayed up all night every night just to shake them. Because
for some reason they only happened when I went to sleep. I would
wake up and you know the rest. I'm also puzzled at the fact that
when I touched him it felt extremely HOT we talked about it and
came to the conclusion that maybe: theghost of people who are
dead feel cold if you walk through them or something but if you
Astral Project you're obviously alive, so instead
you just get really HOT. Also in addition to that, he told me
that whenever I did this...my spirit was naked...this I don't
know if I should believe. I'd really like some opinions ^_^


My Comments: Well this is certainly a good combination for
finding some things out. You have one guy who can OBE, and
another who says he can see the other in OBE form. If you
are wanting to get more information about what is going on
personal experience is always the best for teaching ourselves.
You should work on being more passive, and maintaining a
calm state throughout the OBE process. If all of them happen
while you are asleep, work on telling yourself before you go
to sleep, that when such things happen, you are going to
remain calm, and try and associate with the events going on.
This way when the actual event occurs, your brain may decide
to relate your messages from earlier to what you are
experiencing, and this may help you remember to stay calm. As
for the hot/cold issue, not all ghost cases involve a drop
in temperature. This is just a cliche event most people
try and associate with all ghost, when in actuality
in some cases people report a rise in temperature. It all
depends on the situation, really.

Now to dig into the mail bag....

Mortal Abbattoir wonders:
I was wondering what to do about excitement during OBE's. Alot
of times, I will lay there.. get the minidreams.. then find
myself floating above my body, and something I find or see that
I was unable to in my physical body excites me to the point of
returning back to my body. For example.. once I was floating
above my body while my back and head lay against the wall. I
get closer to my head and move the hair out of the way and see
an extremely bright pea-sized thing right in the center of my
forehead. The moment I saw it, I exclaimed "My third eye!" and
came back to the physical.

Any techniques you know of on how to not get so excited?

My comments: As I mentioned earlier, you can work on telling
yourself you will remain calm. Also since you seem to be
working more with them from being awake, it will be a natural
reaction the more you have for the novelty to wear off of that
initial excitement. After this happens, you will notice that
they will last a bit longer. At this point OBEs normally tend
to end due to random unexplained reasons or you get frustrated
because of something that happens, such as once when I got
stuck in a chair. Extreme emotion tend to be the reason my OBEs
end. So just work on staying passive, and it will eventually
come with time.

IanuFyreBird asks:
I have been trying to perform Macro PK, and I can't seem to do
it. My problem is that I doubt that it's even possible in the
first place. In other words, I don't "believe." I've done Micro
PK, and it's worked time and time again (I used the die-rolling
test and got about 50-60 out of 100 on 3 -- the one I wanted)
but it doesn't seem to be proof enough for me. I just can't
figure out why it won't work, then I get frustrated and give up.

    On another note, I notice that I have my own way of
meditating that I've never seen anyone else do, but...people say
their meditation doesn't work as well as mine. Obviously, this
is either because they're bad at it, or because my method works,
but I was wondering what you had to comment on it. What I do
is I try to make sure I'm in a quiet place, and I either sit
cross-legged or I lay flat on my back with a few inches between
each of my legs and between my hands and body. Then, I close my
eyes to fully minimize sensory input, and visualize my body in a
third-person view. I see colors flowing through my body, because
this is how I visualize emotion (red is anger, yellow is
happiness, blue is sadness, etc., etc., etc.) and I will it
to come together, normally in my hands. Then, I merely will it
to leave my body, leaving me devoid of emotion, then I can focus
on whatever task I have at hand, normally talking one of my
friends through a problem, because those are the ones that
frustrate me the most.

My comments: First off, I myself, still don't truly believe
half of the things I do. I'm not speaking figuratively from
some other perspective like I am amazed at what I do. I'm
saying that truly when I think about it, I don't accept it
as easily as I do that this or that exist. I don't think I will
fully accept it until I do something so utterly amazing that I
myself cannot deny. This here is where personal opinions come
into play. While bob may simply need to spin a psiwheel before
he believes in it, Jim an avid believer in Science has many
ideas of why it spun on natural causes rather than of his
ability. It all comes down to personal beliefs, and overcoming
the ones that you don't favor. But with all this said, and you
mention yourself that you are still able to accomplish PK
without fully believing that you are doing it. I see belief
as an acquired thing, at first they assumed the world was flat
but until adequate proof, and a few years of idea being around
did they accept it was round. So don't let the lack of belief
stop you from doing something you have seen yourself do.

Kingkai ponders:
Hello. whenever I am in a meditative or sleepy state, or
whenever my mind wonders, I feel a tingly energy in my hands
and they get numb. I know that my hands arent asleep because
I know how -that- feels. I was wondering if I could somehow
use this energy for telekinesis. Sometimes even if I barely
think about this happening, then it happens right there and
then. also, is it true we have chakras in our hands? if so,
then are my hand chakras perhaps opening up? Thanks in advance

My comments: I can't answer about chakras, because personally
I don't practice anything to do with them, really. As for the
energy building up in your hands, though, I can say this. A few
weeks after I started practicing on up into about a year later
I would randomly feel energy in my hands. I attributed it to
just becoming aware of this new found sense of energy, and went
about my business. You can try and move it around if you want
or have fun with it, but when I experienced it, it wasn't
really a build up, so much as me becoming aware that it was
there in the first place. As for using it for TK...I've heard
of one person who blends energy manipulation with TK and gets
nice results. It is basically just personal preference at this
point of TK. Later as you move to bigger objects, you may
want to give them a bit more energy and what not.

=================================================================

I was happy enough to find a group that talked about
telekenisis. Ever since I was in my adolesents I was facinated
by it.What are ways to develope this kind of ability and is it
even possible for people to develope this. I practice off and
on and sometimes I feel a weird sensation in my third eye but
nothing is happening.

My comments: When I first started Telekinesis, I first read
the articles on PsiPog, afterwards I tried it out, and could
only stop the psiwheel before I ever actually spun it. This
help me get motivated to actually try it. In time the more I
practiced the better I got. Its all about the motivation to
practice until you accomplish what you want to accomplish.

Newsletter #33, for July 15, 2006

"Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you
plan to stop peddling."
Claude Pepper


Dear PsiPog Users,
Alright guys, its been an eventful month, and I've been busy
every day since the beginning of the month. July is always the
busiest month for me due to after the fourth settling down, my
birthday follows it up, right along with my mom's, and quite
a few of my friends birthdays. For those of you who had a nice
Fourth of July, glad to hear you had fun. As for this
newsletter, it will be longer than normal ones, to make up for
the time you guys had to wait. Sorry for the wait!

=================================================================

Last week's Activity:

This activity involves a bit of Remote Viewing and Energy
Manipulation. What I want you do to is program a construct to
be your "camera" and send it off to some remote location you
will have later access to, like your friends house(but not
without permission, of course). Be sure and to program to
to take in sights in the area. Then program another construct
that will sit at your house and recieve the information from
your "camera". Afterwards link the two, and then try at random
times to link to the construct in your house, and see if you
recieve any information from your "camera" construct.

=================================================================
Activity #6:

This activity requires energy manipulation and a partner. I want
you to find a partner who is good with energy manipulation,
but if you can't, you can improvise. Get them to send a
construct out to a random part in your house, and you have to
seek it out. Later on you can spice it up by adding time limits
or hide in seek, and having them move it around. If you have to
make them yourself, maybe program it to move sporadically around
your house at random points. Have fun :)

=================================================================

Now to dig into the mail bag....

=================================================================

Perception
Analytical overlay is just as bad as not being able to sense
what something is, but sometimes it's all just a matter of
perception, what someone might see as new someone else can
say it's old. As a matter of fact most things in everyday
life are only what we perceive them to be; such as some pets
are harmless until they bite, the world was flat and the yeti
exists (or doesn't).

Recently I've noticed simple hallucinations due to simple
analytical overlay; basically I see something in my peripheral
vision and take it as something else, like a dog instead of a
shadow or something moving when its not, it's really not a big
deal and it happens to allot of people only that they don't
notice it. But my point is that the brain has the power to
subordinate our senses to what it thinks it is A case allot
of readers should be familiar with are the blind spots in
both our eyes (if you don't know about it look it up), we
have a point to our right in our left eye and vice-versa
were our eyes cannot see, however we don't notice it since
the blind spots don't overlap, on top of that we don't
notice it because our brain fills in the spot with a vague
or clear image of what it thinks should be there.
So basically we can sense something how it isn't, how it
really is, or just make something up, but two things are
for certain: it can be as clear or more as if you were
actually seeing it with you're eyes or other sensory methods,
and we can have control over this, we can actually see
something instead of having an image in you're mind or think
someone else's thoughts instead of having unclear references.
I have experienced the before mentioned myself, so I'm not
saying this as a theory.

I could go on for pages but to make this short I'm going to
simply give the reader an exercise to actually see what I
mean:

1) Go to a dimply lit place (to make things easier).

2) Start meditating with you're eyes open.

3) Eventually you will stop paying attention from you're
eye's sensory input (for me it all gets black).

4) After you achieve this try it again but in a more alert
state.

5) Try spicing things up; see if you can make yourself see
simple lines or dots.

*if you want you can try with other senses though I haven't
tried so myself.

This exercise should help people that take too long to sense
something, and it also helps boost confidence since its
something you can actually use you're senses with.

My comments: This was another nice write-up from Obsidian, who
always does a great job on laying out helpful information in
understandable ways.
=================================================================

Thomas wonders:

    I have been wanting to tell you about this for sometime, but
never got time. I thought I would send it in this time right
after I read the newsletter. I don't practice psychic stuff
nowadays because I seem to have lost motivation... I made a
topic about this in the forums a few months ago....but it didn't
work ;) .

    Well anyway, a few weeks ago, something happened to me that I
am sure was an OBE. I have tried my hand at OBE many months
ago...but I usually got disturbed by a mosquito or something...
This time though I had no intention to do it, and I hadn't even
thought of it!!

    Well this night, I had a very bad cold and throat problems
and a slight fever... well my health wasn't too great... anyway,
I was too tired to  think about anything so I went to sleep right
away. I don't know how many hours passed but I woke up sometime
in the night. I felt that my legs were floating up. It felt
really odd...since if I usually tried to lift my legs while
lying down... it would put a lot of pressure on my muscles
around the middle. And I am not that much of an athletic guy,
considering I have made a permanent a**print on my computer
chair.. Anyway.. I felt as if something was lifting my legs and
holding it at some 35 degree angle from the bed. Then I had
another odd feeling. I felt as if I was being dragged towards
the top of the bed. But the really odd thing was that the edge
of the bed never came, even though I usually sleep with my head
up to the edge of the bed.

   I frequently have Lucid dreams. I have had them years before
I even knew that was what they were called. But I am sure this
one was not a dream. It felt too real..I usually know when I
am dreaming and this one felt very real.

   I then tried to sort of look towards the top edge of my bed
or something and suddenly woke up and found that my legs were
down as usual. I realized it was an OBE only later, when I
thought about it.

My comments: There are any number of things of what this could
actually be. It is always hard to actually decided for sure
what something is unlesss you have some past experiences
to compare it with. But the mention of your legs floating and
being pulled backwards through the beds sounds like one of two
things I've experienced previously. One, it was either sleep
paralysis, which seems to be a popular occurance in psionics.
I've had some boughts of sleep paralysis where it felt as though
I were falling through my pillow, and sometimes just falling,
the whole time, this all began from a waking state. The other
possibility is that it could very well be and OBE, and you would
just need to work on getting some control on what is going on
if you want to start enjoying it. The easiest way is to
let yourself know before you are going to sleep that if anything
happens you are going to be ready for it, and then remember the
event you are talking about. This helps your mind remember
better in situations when you can't really think quick enough
about what to do.

=================================================================

Richard says:

Hello,

My name's Richard from California and I am new to your site. I
found the articles and the Q&A part in psipog website very useful
and was so moved with the facts mentioned on the site that I
could spin my psi-wheel after two nights practicing. Since then
I'm constantly practicing and get a quite good results from
psi-wheel and hoping to move to straw or pencil pretty soon. I
have some questions about the stuff I cant do and some tips that
has proven to help me with psi-wheel. I appreciate it if you
could include this in the newsletter.

For the questions, I found my left hand stronger than my right
and I need practicing on right too, but is there any particular
reason for that? While I can still spin the wheel from behind
obstacles surrounding the wheel (like I cut the bottom of a
tissue box and put it around the wheel), I dont know why it
won't move at all if I put a plastic or glass bowl on top of
that. My question is how much harder is that supposed to be to
spin it under a container?

Now the tips that someone might find it useful is that
performing TK at night before bed works much better than in
the morning so practicing at night could be more productive.
Another thing before switching to paper psi-wheel it's better
to start with foil psi-wheel as it's lighter and easier to move.
I also dont use any pin in the center, instead I scrunch a piece
of foil and make a pole with a very sharp head, I noticed you
can make sharper pins using foil than the metal pin itself. This
would reduce the friction to a minimum helping to show the TK
movements much easier

My comments: As for left-right hand dominance, it seems to be
more about whichever you are used to using. If you use your
left hand more, than you will be used to using your left hand
in the process rather than your right. As for why you can't move
it through plastic and glass, rather than an open air obstacle,
is a complicated discussion. If you go according to regular
physics, any reaction that you would have with the object that
would cause movement in the first place, would have its effect
lessened by the fact of the glass being present. If you go by
Quantum physical means, There is less of a reason present for
you to be moving the psi-wheel under the glass. This being, of
course because there is a glass around it. While it is kinda
contradictory, it still leaves mean to add suggestions to the
reason that is present, or change it completely, making
Telekinesis possible.

=================================================================

Jordan asks:

This is mainly a question for people who are doing stuff like
AP... why aren't you doing telekinesis (or psychokinesis)
instead first?

To be honest, the other ones are obviously too perceptive and
could easily be the brain getting lost in itself. With TK, once
you  get it, and have repeated it with a noticable thing several
times, then you show it to others and ask them to verify the
sight. When they do, it's definately proven and grounded
in reality.

My comments: The only area of Psionics that can't really be
proven is AP. This is the fact that the general accepted idea
is that AP is a different "plane" of existence, where most
people create what is there, rather than it already being in
existance. Any other area of Psionics, from Telepathy to OBEs
have been proven numerous times. Now it is just whether people
choose to believe this proof or not.

=================================================================

Orphan shares:

Hey y'all, well I havent done psi in like forever but I started
up like four months ago and I started just the simple "nooby"
stuff like manipulating energy and meditating, etc, etc, etc.
Well about 1 month before school ended my body went insane, I
had precogs about 3-5 times a day and I could hardly control
the energy that built up in my hands. It was a pain.
Anywho, I came to talk about what stopped me doing psi.... It
was about 1 year ago and I had got pretty good at psi. I found
out I had a nak for micro-TK, coding psi, and precoging. Well I
had decided to try pull an OBE. I had tried without success for
about a week and a half and I kind of just shrugged it off.
Well the next night I did my usual meditation and psi coding
when I felt myself being pulled out of my body. I was like "ok,
cool and OBE!!". But then, as I was being pulled out (by feet
first) it had almost got to my head and as my chest and shoulder
was being removed I could see my self above me and I started to
lose sight of reality all I saw was my room swirling around me
and I TOTALY FREAKED OUT! I yanked myself back in my body
and almost hurled. I could not do anything after that...
I had made a really good mental block... but I'm back
in the saddle and I'm doing well, I just want to say even if
something freaks you out beyond anything you have ever felt
before just relax research it and keep trying. I dont
regret anything as much as stoping psi just because I got a
little spooked.

My comments: Excellent advice. At least you decided to get back
to what you enjoy, even after your incident. Most people would
of decided that this line wasn't fit for them after something
like that.

=================================================================

Greg asks:

Ok. I had been just searching the net out of boredom and I ran
across a theory on zero point energy.  It said that you could
draw energy from the spaces inbetween atoms because zero point
is equal to infinity, to power say a lightbulb. It also said
that that is why every time scientists tried to measure zero
point that their instruments went off the charts because they
cannot measure infinity.  I thought that if energy could be
drawn to power a device, then could it be used to draw psi
from?  I decided to try it one night and I imagined all the
zero space around me and imagined my self as a recepticale
for all of the energy.  I imagined it flooding me with energy.
I felt  this sudden increase in the energy of my body.  More
energy than I had ever felt before at one  time.  I told this
technique to a friend who tried it and he said it worked, and
it worked very well.

My comments: Well first, Zero point energy doesn't exist in the
same concentration in all points in space. In parts of space you
have more stress, there is going to exist a higher amount of it
than those with lower stress. The more stress you put on a an
area the more ZPE you can gather at the area. Much like the
simple idea of Potential Energy we learn in Science. So while
no one really brings it up when talking about such, when working
with manipulation one simply causes stress on certain areas of
their enviroment and causes higher potentials for energy. Once
the potential has been created, the reactions can take place,
and energy gathers in the created potentials. Pretty much what
you accomplished was raised the potential of your body, and
caused and influx of energy into your body. Keep up the good
work, we always need people thinking ahead.

=================================================================

Dylan shares:

Hi, I made a Flare the other night and I used a different method
I think then the psipog site demonstrates. I start by doing
my warm up: Anchoring, meditating, and all that jazz. Well, I
made a psi ball nothing too special I just made a small one that
had a slightly bumpy surface and I started spinning it till I got
it going then I created another psiball overlapping it with a
bumpy inside and I spun it the opposite direction. Then expanded
the one in the center and compressed the one on the outside so
it would rub together and make a "spark" like those spark makers
for lighting gas grills, After a long grueling 5 min of doing
all four things at one time I finally got it to spark and thus
I made a flare. My method may seem weird but I tried it and it
worked for me and I hope it works for yall to.

My comments: Thanks for the nice the visualization. Sounds like
just the visualtization needed for a flaring. Has enough to keep
you concentrated on what you are doing but not too much, so you
forget what you are trying to do. But just because this method
may work really well for one person doesn't mean it will work
the same for everyone else, as everyone else may have a
different idea than you do that they familiarize more commonly
with sparking stuff. Either way, keep up the good work.

Hi everyone :-)

If you didn't know, I plan on archiving PsiPog.net on the 26th of
January (Friday).  This means that all interactive portions of the
site will shut down, including the forums and chat.  As a final event,
I decided we should host an online PK Party on that day, in the chat
room.  I put a poll on the PsiPog.net homepage, asking you guys which
time would be best for everyone.  Please vote in the poll if you want
to attend, so we can get a good time for everyone in different time zones.

During the PK Party, I want to release the URL of my next project.
The ideals are pretty different than PsiPog.net's, so some people
might not like it as much, but at the same time - others might like it
more.  Oh well - that's how change goes! :-P

I'll send out one more message to everyone once we have a clear
indication of what the best time will be for the PK Party.  Thanks!

- Sean Connelly
Webmaster of PsiPog.net

Hello :-)

The final PK Party for PsiPog.net has been scheduled for Friday,
January 26th, at 9pm EST.  One important note is that ANYONE can join
- you don't need to be a PsiPog.net member.  The chat will be open for
everyone.  For more information, see this link:

http://psipog.net/calendar.php?view=1&day=1169863200

If you have questions or comments, you can e-mail me at
peebrain@..., or you can post on this thread on the message board:

http://psipogbb.net/pb2/viewtopic.php?p=66589#66589

Thanks for your attention :-).  I hope as many people as possible can
make it, who want to come.

- Sean Connelly
Webmaster of PsiPog.net

Hi everyone!

I've had some e-mails asking about PsiPog.net, so I'm posting this to
answer some common questions, and to also pass along an invitation I
received for a new Reality TV show.

The main question I keep getting is "What is the URL to your next
website?"  My new website isn't up and running just yet, though I hope
to have the blog and forums working in another month or two.  You can
see the site at: http://alittleweird.com .  I want to encourage
everyone to join the new mailing list, which is at the bottom of the
website.  That is the best way to stay updated with the status of the
new site.

Another question I've received a few times is about copyright.  The
copyright policy for PsiPog.net is spelled out painfully clear at:
http://psipog.net/copyright.html .  I know some people wanted to
redistribute articles.  You need to get the original authors
permission to do so.  This isn't a decision that I made - this is the
law.  So pleading with me really doesn't do anything :-P.  I don't
have the legal authority to give permission for articles that aren't
written by me.  Find the author!

And finally, I've received an e-mail from Bunim-Murray Productions -
which is the company that makes reality TV shows.  They are looking
for psychics to test their skills.  Here is the e-mail as it was sent
to me:

==================================================

Bunim-Murray Productions (the makers of The Real World and numerous
other reality shows) is looking for psychics for their new reality
show "America's Psychic Challenge".

We are looking to meet and interview people in the LA, Las Vegas or
New York area.  "America's Psychic Challenge" is a competitive show
that will have a series of tests for people to prove their psychic
abilities.

Think that you have what it takes?  We want to meet you!  Please
contact us at:

tmiros@...

The sooner the better as we're casting on a very tight schedule!

==================================================

So there you have it.  The show has already been done in England, and
here is a link with more information:
http://www.five.tv/programmes/psychicchallenge/

Seems pretty cool :-).

So, in summary:

1. The new website is http://alittleweird.com - please sign up for the
new mailing list if you want to be updated!

2. Please respect copyright.

3. Check out Bunim-Murray's future show for psychics - maybe it's
something you want to interview for.  Seems like it might be cool.

Thanks everyone!
