Hosted by Stony1205 and FrozenFlames

FrozenFlames: Alright, welcome to PsiOnline and UPC's (Unified Psionic Club) joint seminar. Today we'll be covering the topic of TELEPATHIC scanning and deciphering.
FrozenFlames: Firstly, I want to bring you all abreast on a method UPC has been using for seminars/classes/etc. When I ask you all to tell me when you're done with something, if you're ok with something, or something similar, I will ask you to "check off".
FrozenFlames: This means simply putting in a period and hitting "enter/send/whatever". This is a LOT simpler, rather than getting spammed with a mass Private Message.
FrozenFlames: Scanning itself is a very broad topic. One with the ability to scan in one area of psionics may completely lack the skill in another form of scanning. I'm assuming everyone here knows the approximate definition of "scanning" in general. If not, speak up now.
FrozenFlames: Coke: Exactly
FrozenFlames: Ok, so to start off, I want to you all to spend about a minute within your minds. I know this sounds weird, but I need you all to get a feel for what its like to be shifting around a mind, moving and wading through thoughts.
FrozenFlames: Meanwhile, tons of your own thoughts, most likely about the seminar, will get in your way. Spend about a minute on this, don't take TO long, but don't do this for a just two seconds either.
FrozenFlames: check off when you're done, PM any questions
FrozenFlames: What I want you to do is start recalling some memories, so you get to the point where you've forgotten about your body, and you're entirely in your thoughts. Shift through some random memories and/or thoughts, think of some odd shapes, do some random things

FrozenFlames: lidless_i: its hard to forget about my body because i know im supposed to be forgetting about my body
FrozenFlames: FrozenFlames: don't try to forget
FrozenFlames: FrozenFlames: just daydream about some memories
FrozenFlames: FrozenFlames: think hard about stuff
FrozenFlames: lidless_i: ok
FrozenFlames: FrozenFlames: you'll naturally forget
Coke: going though memories is making me sad...
peebrain: think of happy memories
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: alright, this is enough time, anyone who is here should check off. if you don't check off, you get kicked for idling in our seminar

FrozenFlames: alright
FrozenFlames: in the future, i dont' need to know your personal feelings about your memoreies (coke) :-)
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: From here, we need to split up into partners. I won't pair you up if necessary, so I'll give you all twenty seconds to fight and war over who gets who as their partner. At time up, whoever is left will be paired up by me, stony, or both.
.....CUT.....
FrozenFlames: Now, there are so many theories going around about psi, and I would rather not delve into them all. I'm simply going to state a few things, you will do them, and you can form your own opinions and theories after the fact, whether they agree or disagree with what I've said
FrozenFlames: basically, do the stuff now, and form your own ideas later. believe what you want from your experience
FrozenFlames: Now, though telepathy does not require a link, it does help greatly. I personally do not tend to use links, but if needed, I'm not afraid to throw one out now and then
FrozenFlames: Linking itself requires not just an article, but an entire book. Or maybe, a series of books. There is a vast variety of links along with different ways they function and form. To attempt explaining them all is too difficult, so I'll just go over two forms today. I will not state exactly WHAT you're doing with these links and HOW they work, just know that you ARE linking in one way or another.
FrozenFlames: I will begin to tell you your next instructions, DO NOT begin until I say, "You may begin NOW".
FrozenFlames: (no need to check off unless i say guys)
FrozenFlames: To start off, one partner (partner A) will just sit and relax. The other (partner B) will clear their mind by whatever method they like best. Counting BACKWARDS from 20-10 often helps.
FrozenFlames: From here, partner B will begin to slowly repeat partner A's nick/name over and over in their head. As you do this, you need to keep in mind the "will" to find this person's mind. As you almost "chant" your partner's name/nick, you should "feel out" for their mind. This should be done entirely tactile, visual visualization does not help.
FrozenFlames: After awhile, you should suddenly "know" that you've found them. Usually I can almost "feel" them in/on the right side of my mind (I do not know why it is the right side, it just is :-P). If your asking how do you "feel" and "do" all this stuff, there is no answer, you just DO
FrozenFlames: Also, when I feel "THEM", it is me feeling a mixture of their psionic signature and their awareness. I'm assuming you know what this is as well, but if you don't, tell me now.
FrozenFlames: As a side note, all this "searching out" and "reaching" for their mind, and "feeling" them is very similar to Remote Viewing. If you've successfully done RV in the past, this should be fairly simple for you. However, rather than using RV coordinates, we're using a person and their mind.
FrozenFlames: Just keep their name in mind while you "reach out" with the intention of finding them. This can take 5 seconds or 5 minutes, take your time. Eventually it should "snap", and you'll get some sort of feeling of them.
FrozenFlames: Though most are used to a form of linking where you feel the person as a separate mind away from your own, with this method, their mind should exist almost within your own. Hopefully, it will be almost as if their mind is a part of your mind, but more on that later.
FrozenFlames: any questions before we begin?
FrozenFlames: yes/no/maybe so?
FrozenFlames: In that case, ou may begin now.
FrozenFlames: *you
FrozenFlames: post any results, comments, questions, etc. in the chat
FrozenFlames: alright, hows it working out for you guys?
peebrain: worked good, got a connection
peebrain: made Oneta feel "anxious"
FrozenFlames: does it feel as i said, almost WITHIN your mind, rather than a seperate "thing"?
FrozenFlames: lol
peebrain: ummmm... depends on how I decide to interpret it... I can push it either inside or outside of my mind
peebrain: right now it's sitting in my chest
Oneta: Yeah
Oneta: :-\
Oneta: Mine too
FrozenFlames: This method freaked me out at first, because I wasn't sure what it was. I kept thinking it was a daydream because the thoughtproccess was within my own. Through this method however, I found some cool things
Oneta: Where I felt it
FrozenFlames: you can push it around usually, yeah, its all an interpretation
FrozenFlames: anyone else have anything to say? if you made some sort of connection, check off
peebrain: .
Oneta: .
FrozenFlames: look at sean, so cooperative and attentive :-)
Oneta: !!!
FrozenFlames: and oneta!
Psychic_Alchemist: *cough teachers pet *cough* :P
Bobrobyn: lol
JoeRoger: .
jaci: .
ANKA: FF, I think you should pair up Easton and PA
ANKA: They got in late
FrozenFlames: sure, sounds good to me
FrozenFlames: and if stony can catch them up :-)
FrozenFlames: alright, we're going to move on now, if you don't have a connection, don't sweat it
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: just relax and try to focus, "reach" out and wait
FrozenFlames: Now, you want to focus on the thought flows and patterns that you feel within their mind. Somewhere within the feeling of them, if you focus on that part of your mind almost as if it is a beat you trance to, you should start to feel the passage of their thoughts.
lidless_i: .
Sp4rkS: .
FrozenFlames: by now, you should be focusing to the point where you forget your body again, this sort of thing happnes a lot IMO
FrozenFlames: Though you may not understand what you "hear", you should still hear the thoughts flowing throughout the surface of their mind. Just like when you're in a crowd and all the noise is incoherent, it should be similar.
FrozenFlames: You may feel pressure in your forehead. If you focus part of your mind on this area, or wherever you feel energy collect, it can help. Focusings or "charging" this area can sometimes improve your scan.
FrozenFlames: Of course, don't let this focus get in the way of your excersise
FrozenFlames: From here, you can learn to "search" out for more specific signals within their mind. Searching deeper, below the surface thoughts and into their mind. This goes without saying, but it takes practice on your own time
FrozenFlames: this is usually a very interesting excersise for me, and extremely productive. I like ot do this sort of thing when i have some time on my hand, in the middle of a focal meditation. i focus on differnet thought flows and patterns, learning how to isolate them and how i can move the proccess throughout my mind
* Oneta is hearing things he hopes is not peebs :-O
FrozenFlames: I personally find sending easier via this method, with their thought flow within your mind, but that is not exactly the topic of this seminar so i won't go into it.
FrozenFlames: peebs: stop thinking so loud ;-)
peebrain: that's like telling an artist to stop painting
Sp4rkS: depends what he's painting.
FrozenFlames: oh so true
FrozenFlames: Now, the partner being scanned, do you notice any sensations?
Bobrobyn: Pressure in the middle of the forhead..."3rd eye" region.
peebrain: the connection was mostly gone, until you reminded me of it
FrozenFlames: the connection from this method seems to be very useful, but fades VERY quickly once attention
FrozenFlames: oooook
FrozenFlames: are you all ready to move on?
lidless_i: i was the scanner but i felt pressure in my forehead
FrozenFlames: check off if you ARE

FrozenFlames: lidless_i: normal
lidless_i: k
ANKA: .
FrozenFlames: bob?
Bobrobyn: .
FrozenFlames: alright
Psychic_Alchemist: .
Easton: .
FrozenFlames: Now we need to disconnect. To do so, feel their mind and visualize some sort of connection with your minds, perhaps as a light. Then feel their mind fading from your senses, and visualize the light dimming.
FrozenFlames: In one smooth moment, "push" their mind from your own, visualize the light representing the connection disappearing, and completely forget about them. Put your entire focus on something else.
FrozenFlames: disconnection shouldn't be to difficult
lidless_i: when i visualize dissconecting with the light method my actual vision brightens?!
FrozenFlames: are you asking me or telling me?
peebrain: heh
lidless_i: im telling you
Coke: that's odd
FrozenFlames: nice
FrozenFlames: never heard that one before
lidless_i: well could it be dangerous?
Coke: I doubt it.
FrozenFlames: make sure you light doesn't have a dimmer one it first of all :-)
lidless_i: it doesnt
FrozenFlames: next, no, i doubt it is. if it keeps reoccuring, i might have it checked out, especially if there are other side affects
FrozenFlames: but i'm in no position to give medical advice, thats first and foremost
lidless_i: mabey its just some biofeedback :)
Psychic_Alchemist: heh
FrozenFlames: right
FrozenFlames: once you're done disconnecting, check off please
Coke: .
Psychic_Alchemist: That's like a Mc Donald's worker giving nutritional advice :P

FrozenFlames: once your disconnected, its the other partners turn
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: while the other partner is accomplishing the excersise, you guys may like to state any comments you have. anything you noted, etc. or you may not :-)
FrozenFlames: just keep me informed with whats going on, once you've connected, tell me please
Psychic_Alchemist: hmm a rippling feeling
FrozenFlames: define "rippling feeling"
Psychic_Alchemist: a quick rushing and burshing feeling across my field
FrozenFlames: *nod* thats interesting is well. just keep in mind to relax and stay within your mind
FrozenFlames: "reach" out for the sensation of their mind, and when it "snaps", focus on it
FrozenFlames: if you get that ripple again, tell me. though its probably just some normal thing, it interests me
FrozenFlames: alright, if you're ready to move on, check off. if you're NOT ready, put in an exclamation point in the place of a period
lidless_i: .
FrozenFlames: once you put that period in, disconnect
peebrain: .
lidless_i: from there minds or the chat?
Psychic_Alchemist: their minds.
FrozenFlames: theIr minds
lidless_i: ok
Bobrobyn: FF- quick question
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: PM Bobrobyn
Bobrobyn: k
Coke: That was one of the oddest things I've ever done, and that's saying something...
FrozenFlames: Bobrobyn: How're you stupposed to navigate when all you get is static? Bobrobyn: I'm guessing from their mind...like, it's like a big blob of everything, all at once, comming out as static.
lidless_i: me and coke managed to access a few memories of each other is what hes talking about
Psychic_Alchemist: what about that time you got mixed up with pepsi ? :P
FrozenFlames: usually you need to use some focal meditation skills. rather than being forceful, you need to really just relax completely
FrozenFlames: calm down and focus on your intent in the back of your mind
Ejji: Can I ask a question?
FrozenFlames: while "looking" through the static, don't focus on it but pass it on as your own random thoughts, just keeping in mind the intent of your search. usually something will "pop" out at you, and from there you can trace the signal of what caught your attention
FrozenFlames: Ejji:Sure
FrozenFlames: Bob: Thats all I can really say for now, it seems like something that would require another seminar of its own
Ejji: Thank you.. well, you know when.. you see someone in pain by tooth ache or head ache and sometimes you feel it too, it's in your head though?
FrozenFlames: Ejji: Ok
FrozenFlames: What is your question
Ejji: Well, do you think this seminar now could be you influencing them to feel this way, but you don't think you are doing it? It's not a bash, just a question.
FrozenFlames: no i don't
FrozenFlames: though i suppose it is possible
Coke: Hey, well, my head slightly hurts, which it wasn't doing before this seminar...
Psychic_Alchemist: I doubt one psion could affect this many other psions on their own.
Ejji: ..you dont understand.
Psychic_Alchemist: That doesn't seem logically realistic to me.
FrozenFlames: ANKA: rippling effect is most likly lack of focused frequincies
FrozenFlames: ANKA: blled over from TP, to dircet psi energy effect
lidless_i: well ive got to leave bye
lidless_i: sorry
Coke: 'bye, and thanks.
FrozenFlames: Coke: Thats natural as well, try to relax. If it really hurts, just sit out for awhile and drink some....you know it: OJ
Sp4rkS: Bye lidless_i.
lidless_i: your welcome
lidless_i: bye all
Psychic_Alchemist: but oj kill!
Ejji: It's natural to have head pains?
Psychic_Alchemist: *kills
Coke: Ok, thanks.
Psychic_Alchemist: I dont care what the jury says :P
FrozenFlames: Psychic_Alchemist: It is more than possible (Psychic_Alchemist: I doubt one psion could affect this many other psions on their own.)
FrozenFlames: Ejji: From stress, of course
Psychic_Alchemist: That would take a good deal of psi to do though
Ejji: People are easily influenced by their surroundings, its a flaw.
Ejji: Nothing to do with Psi.
FrozenFlames: we'll be moving on now
Ejji: Why:?
FrozenFlames: so disconnect if you aren't already
Psychic_Alchemist: Ejji: part of psionics is mental control, so that seems doubtful.
FrozenFlames: this seminar is going long, so we'll have to hurry. afterwards, practice on your own time. UPC has 4 practices per week
FrozenFlames: Next, we want to try the more commonly known method of scanning. You should already have their "feel", so it should be easier this time. Visualize their body (whether you know what they look like or not) standing in front of you. Remember to visualize EVERTHING from a first person viewpoint. Third person DOES NOT WORK.
Ejji: No.. I mean like, influenced without Psi, just influence.
Psychic_Alchemist: so do I.
FrozenFlames: Ejji: Finish this in a PM please
Ejji: No, forget it, continue.
Coke: aw, but my partner went away.....
FrozenFlames: Next, form a ball of energy, and attach it to your head. Now, with your eyes closed, visualizing your partner's body 10 or so feet in front of you, stretch the psiball into a tentacle towards them.
FrozenFlames: As you stretch the energy towards them, keep in mind the will that you're "reaching" out towards their "feeling". Once it touches them, slowly push it into their mind and let it go, make sure your end is within your mind as well.
Psychic_Alchemist: sorry FF
FrozenFlames: From here, put your focus on the link and keep in mind the will that it is a stream of energy with the intention of focusing the transfer of telepathic information.
FrozenFlames: Psychic_Alchemist: np
Psychic_Alchemist: :)
FrozenFlames: "Feel" the person "through" the link and "feel" what it is meant to do. This method will most likely give a much stronger sensation on the forehead, where the tangible link is connected.
FrozenFlames: From here, spend a nice amount of time pouring mass upon mass amounts of energy into the link. Put it IN the link itself, as well as stream energy THROUGH the link. Visualize it becoming more solid and powerful, and visualize the transfer of thoughts.
FrozenFlames: a lot of this is just conceptual programming. keeping in mind that this is a link is usually enough, so don't sweat that part
FrozenFlames: just work on this now, obviously one partner at a time :-)
FrozenFlames: I'll give you all 2 minutes
FrozenFlames: don't rush, once the time is up, i won't neccessarily move on
FrozenFlames: alright
FrozenFlames: if you're not ready, speak up
Sp4rkS: here here.
FrozenFlames: alright
Coke: my partner left. :(
FrozenFlames: while we wait for Sp4rkS, do the rest of you have any comments? also, anyone else without a partner that can go with Coke?
* Psychic_Alchemist gives coke a can of diet coke to partner with
Coke: yay, a diet coke.
Coke: Could I try my sister, because I know her pretty well...
Coke: *??
Psychic_Alchemist: no, this isn't mississipi, we dont do that here :P
FrozenFlames: Coke: If you want :-)
Coke: ok
FrozenFlames: alright, moving on
Psychic_Alchemist: hmm your right FF, this new method is MUCH stronger
FrozenFlames: From here, you should have a good connection. Now sit back and relax. Lightly focus on the link, and attempt to feel whom it is connected to. This time, you should feel their mind as a separate entity. It should be something that feels much farther away, and you should feel a bit of your awareness focused on something more distant. Keep in mind that, though you feel their mind as an entity separate and farther from your own, thi
FrozenFlames: did that get cut off?
Psychic_Alchemist: yes it did
peebrain: "and farther from your own, thi"
Psychic_Alchemist: entity separate and farther from your own, thi
FrozenFlames: Keep in mind that, though you feel their mind as an entity separate and farther from your own, this method is not necessarily any weaker (or stronger) than the other. It depends on the person.
Coke: .
FrozenFlames: So Psychic_Alchemist, you just noted that it is MUCH stronger. However, I usually prefere the other method. Though this one has a stronger sensation, it isn't neccessarily stronger.
FrozenFlames: Now, from here you may like to try a little quick game. Have one partner (Partner A) focus on a colored shape (square, circle, star, triangle - blue, red, green, yellow). Have the other partner (Partner B) focus on the intent of finding Partner A's surface thoughts.
FrozenFlames: DO NOT FORCE THIS. That is the foremost important rule. You must relax and do not try to "drag" the information out. Simply focus on the feeling of their mind, and keep in mind the intent of finding their surface thoughts.
FrozenFlames: Keep this intent strongly in the back of your mind; for it is what will focus what you receive, it's like picking the channel on a TV. Without the intent, you would receive all the "channels" at once as a blur.
FrozenFlames: Then, begin LIGHTLY "pulling" energy through (not from) the link into yourself. Keep at this, simply focusing on your will, keeping your mind clear. When you have an impression of the thought, go with it immediately. The first instinct is usually correct.
Coke: blue square!
ANKA: Coke, do you need a partener?
Coke: yes
ANKA: Hold on, let me tak some sheilds down
ANKA: Ok, link to me
FrozenFlames: thanks a lot ANKA, you'd probably be the BEST person for him to link to here
FrozenFlames: nothing like participating with somebody who can really help you along and know whats happening
ANKA: Not really I have agressive defenseives against unwated TP
FrozenFlames: so says your post about house shields....
FrozenFlames: back to the seminar, how is this going?
Psychic_Alchemist: we've had success
FrozenFlames: i'm not really looking for success today
FrozenFlames: that comes as a later point of interest, after practice
FrozenFlames: right now, i'm looking for what sensations you guys are getting
FrozenFlames: what you "feel" is "going on"
FrozenFlames: and obviously, any problems
Psychic_Alchemist: energy flowing in and out
FrozenFlames: *nod*
FrozenFlames: alright, this seminar has been going for about an hour now, so lets hurry this up. you guys are more than welcome to check the UPC forums (www.upconline.net) and look at the practice group sticky. we'll most likely be practicing what we've learned from today
FrozenFlames: Now we approach the topic of disconnecting, which is usually more difficult with this form of linking. This must be done smoothly with no mistakes, otherwise a small (or large) portion of the link will remain on some level (there is more than one "level" and "frequency" in which links exist, difficult to explain).
FrozenFlames: First, you must stop the flow of energy through the link. Tactile-wise, you simply "feel" the link becoming "dead" and unused. "Feel" the energy flow stopping completely.
FrozenFlames: Visual-Visualization-wise (my preferred method for this form of linking), I like to see the link as some sort of living attachment, almost like a connecting vine. From there, I visualize all the energy flow stopping completely, and the vine turning brown, brittle, and dead.
FrozenFlames: Next, break the link in one quick movement. Along with my vine/link visualization, I see if decompose into dust at a rapid rate, and dissolve into the ground.
FrozenFlames: Once you stop the energy flow, the feeling on your forehead should dissipate quite a bit. Once you destroy the link, for a split second the entire sensation of being linked should disappear.
FrozenFlames: If you continue thinking about the link for even one second after you feel it disappear, there's a large chance you will reconnect by accident.
FrozenFlames: So at the very moment the link is destroyed, put the entirety of your mind and being on something else. Do some TK, a few pushups, count backwards, ANYTHING you can to completely take your mind off the person and the notion of a link.
FrozenFlames: start once you've thoroughly read it all
FrozenFlames: if you're done, i need to know :-)
Psychic_Alchemist: done
Easton: Completed
ANKA: Why is it wierd?
Sp4rkS: Done.
peebrain: done
ANKA: Wrong Window
FrozenFlames: if anyone's partner says something interesting, you might like to post it in here for the furtherence of fellow students
FrozenFlames: switch partners now, for the last time
stony1205: get their consent first
FrozenFlames: obviously :-) thanks stony
stony1205: tis my job, as I'm not teaching squat rightnow
ANKA: Done
FrozenFlames: also, as the other partner does this excerise, post any comments YOU have as well. and i LOVE questions
FrozenFlames: just as something for you all to read after you're done:
ANKA: Switch as in the reciver now sends?
FrozenFlames: we'll have another seminar on more proper scanning. This was simply an introduction, but there is much much more to it than only this.
FrozenFlames: ANKA: No
FrozenFlames: you should disconnect first
FrozenFlames: then the other person should create the link from scratch
ANKA: Did that
FrozenFlames: then yes, reciever now THINKS, do not send the shape
ANKA: this the squid ball energy link one?
FrozenFlames: yes
FrozenFlames: Back to what I was saying, we'll have another seminar on more proper scanning. This was simply an introduction, but there is much much more to it than only this.
FrozenFlames: You must learn how to search through different levels and frequencies of thought and the mind itself. How to decipher and pick apart what you are receiving. How to weed out the AOL (Analytical OverLay). How to become faster and more efficient, etc. Next scanning seminar, we'll work on some exercises for these various topics.
FrozenFlames: With practice, you'll get to the point where you can find anything you're looking for, though this would take....MUCH... practice
FrozenFlames: once your'e done with the other partner, please tell me. and once again, questions OR comments are welcome
* stony1205 sets mode: +m
stony1205: Just for a sec :P
FrozenFlames: alright, if you have not further questions or comments, i'd like to call this seminar to an end
stony1205: So yeah, I hope eveyone liked this one. I will be scheduling another seminar on shielding soon. Check the homepage and your e-mail for news of the next event. I will be teaching that one.
FrozenFlames: feel free to continue practicing with eachother
* stony1205 sets mode: -m
FrozenFlames: this just means....your friendly, lovely FF will be leaving!
FrozenFlames: :-)
jaci: Thanks for the seminar :)
FrozenFlames: np

End Log

by FrozenFlames

Your field is a very important aspect of life, especially for that of a psion. With a dirty, sickly field, one's psionics are greatly lessened from their full potential. You also will not feel your physical or mental "best". Although there are many paradigms on the subject, many are false. Quite a few people believe that everyone's field is clean and healthy, unless you are a "bad" person. This is, by far, the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Just as your body collects dirt naturally (and you take showers to rid yourself of this dirt), your field also collects psionic "dirt" naturally, and you must also rid yourself of this "dirt". However, field cleanliness is the least of your worries. Your field's "health" is the most overlooked aspect of field maintenance, and in my opinion, the most important. Allow me to delve deeper into the subject, as there are three categories to field maintenance: Cleanliness, Condition, and Health. When one cleans their field, I call it simply cleaning the field. When one improves the condition of their field, I call it "buffing" the field. And lastly, when one keeps their field in proper health, I have no name for it. The reason for this being the fact that it is a much longer process. One may sit down, clean their field, and then buff their field. However, keeping the field in good health is something that happens over a span of days and weeks.

Field Cleanliness

Maintaining a healthy field will surely keep one's field clean. Proper shielding will also help the matter. However, even the most healthy of fields, with the best of shields, will regularly get dirty. So the question of "how do I clean my field?" surely comes to mind. There are many methods, all with the same result. Just as there are numerous methods for shielding (in which the same effect is brought about using different methods and visualizations), there are numerous methods for field cleaning. One popular visualization is to close ones eyes, and imagine yourself in a very peaceful place. You are sitting under a waterfall, and it is flowing gently over your body. You then see all the psionic "junk" and "debris" in your field being gently washed away, leaving a clean, glistening field. Another method used by a friend of mine is to visualize all the "dirt" in you field loosening. Then a huge rake comes from above and pulls all the dirt into the earth. Many times you must repeat these visualizations until you achieve the desired effect: a clean field. On rare occasions the debris in your field will not loosen. In these rare occasions, for some odd reason, rattles are known to loosen the debris. Yes, actual rattles. Musical rattles, baby rattles, etc. Just shake the rattle all around your field, then clean, then shake the rattle again, then clean, and repeat until your desired effect has been achieved.

Field Condition

One may boast the cleanest of fields, yet it may still look like garbage. Just as one may thoroughly clean their car, the car itself may still look like junk. Why? Because the car may have dents, holes, and the like. Sometimes a good wax will make a car look brand new, and keep the car clean for longer periods of time. The same applies to ones field. Fields are known to get "dents" and "scratches" in them. When one's field condition is improved, I call it "buffing" the shield. To buff the field, I do not know many visualizations that really work. I only know one, and it works quite well for me. I discovered it by simply experimenting. However, experimenting with a field is something I strongly do not recommend. You can easily make a mistake, screw up, and mess up your field for a long time. Although I believe this exercise to be safe, it is not a safe thing to start messing around with something as important as your field. So, I've been talking about the exercise for so long, how about I actually tell you what the exercise is. This should only be done after one has cleaned their field. Once your field is sufficiently clean, you may move on to buffing it. The method I found to work the best is to sit down, very relaxed, and feel your field. Feel and visualize the entire thing. Then pull the shield in close around you. A normal field may extend approx. two feet out in all directions. However, you want to pull all of that evenly inwards to your body. Then begin to very slowly and steadily spin your field around you. Then visualize all the energy equalizing. Think about it, what would a "dent" be in a field? It is more energy in one area, than another. So by doing this, you are making all the energy go from unequal (concentrated in some areas, not concentrated in others), to equal (evenly spread throughout the field). Then slowly see the energy coming to a stop. Then visualize the energy expanding back out into its original position, but now with no dents. You should now see a perfectly clean field, with energy that is now evenly spread throughout your entire field. However, even with all of this done, your field may still look like a piece of junk. Why you ask? Because there is still one topic we have not covered yet, and that is your field's health. This is something that cannot be fixed as quickly and easily as the other two topics we have covered.

Field Health

This is a much more in-depth topic to discuss. This is where my job gets a little harder. I will break this down into four main sections: Exercise, Diet, Sleep, and Energy Flow. All of these things put together will greatly increase the health of your field. As you will realize, your field is part of you. That means that your bodily health directly relates to your field health. And that means that if you are sick, your field gets sick, if you are very healthy, your field is very healthy, etc. Field health is something that cannot be fixed as quickly and easily as the other two topics we have covered because it takes time to improve your bodily health.

Exercise: Exercise, it is the scary word we fear so much. Not to worry, I'm not going to tell you to go out, buy a whole gym, and work out every day for hours. No, I don't expect that from you. Being a martial artist, I am a sort of "health nut". I am well educated in what you should put into your body, and how you should exercise. So although I myself exercise quite a lot, it is my profession, and I will not demand that of you. However, I do think it a good idea to consider jogging. I'm not talking about running a marathon every day. I mean that you should prioritize your schedule so you can fit in a little extra time. Then take that time to go outside, do a few stretches, a few push-ups, a few sit-ups, jog a mile, and then stretch again. If you can't do a mile yet, then do less and work your way up. You'll realize that you'll start feeling like you have more energy, and you'll feel a lot better physically. If you really don't have the time, than don't exercise. I'd rather you get hundreds on your test scores than be in better shape. But if you really prioritize and work out a schedule, I think you'll find that you have a little extra time that you can use to work out a bit.

Diet: Diet, another feared word by society. Perhaps even more feared than the word "exercise". In my life of martial arts, I have learned to like the bland tastes of proper food. Numerous diets exist, and 99% of these diets are complete crap. A person can be skinny and still be unhealthy. In fact, a person can be slightly overweight and still be healthier than a person who is the proper weight. It's all about putting the proper things in your body. This means following the dreaded food pyramid. The best diet is right in front of us. Just eat the proper things. This means much less sugar and fried foods. Also, try to spread your food throughout the day as much as possible. That means that instead of a big breakfast, lunch, and dinner (three big meals), you should have six small meals spread evenly throughout your day. Your body isn't made to digest large amounts of food at one period of time. Plus, eating like this (six small meals) keeps your metabolism going, which is a good thing. Also, try sticking to water, around eight glasses per day. If you are working out like I recommended, Gatorade is ok too. Now, I realize I just took all the fun out of eating and drinking, and made things really hard on you. I honestly don't expect you to follow this diet at all. But at least try to slim down on how much junk food you take in. Try to drink a few more glasses of water. Just try it out and see how you feel, you'll be surprised. Think before you eat. If you want to know more about the proper way to eat and excerise, check out www.bodyforlife.com . It's a great site and also contains a few healthy recipes, because cooking healthy isn't always easy. And remember, eat your veggies! ;-)

Sleep: Sleep, now that’s a word we understand! You're probably thinking, "Jogging I can maybe do. That diet thing is ridiculous, no way I'm doing that. But sleep, I can certainly use more of that!" And yes, you can. The average person needs a good eight hours worth of sleep. I remember there was one time, a few months ago, in which I got barely any sleep for an entire week. I could barely even make a decent psiball. I cannot stress how important sleep is to a good and healthy field. Once again, prioritize and find time to get more sleep. If that means missing your late night TV shows, than just tape them and watch them later! Not only do you need a good amount of sleep, but you need a schedule. Even if you get eight hours every day, you may still feel tired if you go to sleep early one day, and late the next. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Once again, sleep is a huge factor in a good field.

Energy Flow: Our last topic is energy flow. The reason I saved this for the last topic is because it is not as important as the others. If you get good exercise, eat right, and get a nice amount of sleep, you energy flow will naturally improve. However, for some of you out there that want a really exceptional energy flow, this is something that can be improved further. However, this is no substitute for the previous three topics. Think of it as an extra. Once you do the first three, then you can put more focus on this last fourth topic. So how do you improve your energy flow? The answer is simple, an ancient art entitled: Daoist Qigong. Proper Qigong will improve posture, physical condition, and your energetic flow. However, Qigong is an extremely broad topic and is outside the scope of this article. For more information try searching the internet on google for something like "Daoist Qigong" or "Zhuan Zhuang".

Conclusion

A clean field is marked by a field with no psionic "junk" floating around in it. A "buffed" field is marked by a field with energy that is evenly spread throughout the field. A healthy field is marked by a field that feels "good", looks dense and thick (not skinny, with barely any energy), and just somehow "healthy". When you put all of these things together, you get a perfect field. One that will feel healthy and vibrant. You will most likely feel physically and mentally better, and your psionics will most likely improve. I realize that diet and exercise might be a major pain for you, but if you can manage it, try to do it. For some of you, sleep might be equally as hard. Those of you with a lot of work on your hands may just not have the time. However, I encourage all of you to try to maintain the healthiest field that you can. As for cleaning and buffing, this only takes minutes to do, so I do not see how any of you can have an excuse not to do this. The best of luck to you all.

So what is a sig? It is a psychic fingerprint. Everyone has a unique sig, and it is permanently in their psi constructs as well as in themselves. Nobody can completely remove their sig, even from their constructs. If I want to scan Joey's shields, I must first locate them by using his sig. However, 99% of the time sig location is done, it is subconscious. Most people will simply think, "I wish to scan Joey," so they do. However, if Joey masks his sig, it will become extremely difficult to accurately scan him. The same goes for sending constructs. Most will simply program, "Go to Joey," into their constructs. The construct will then find them by using their sig, and then go to them. However, if their psychic fingerprint is masked, the result is obvious. So that is for what the sig is and does. But what does a sig feel like? That is extremely difficult to describe. Lets use some test subjects: Take a few people you barely know. Maybe look in your school Year Book. Now pick out about five random people. Look at the first person's name, picture, or both. Concentrate on it, but stay relaxed. Think about their name. A feeling may come to you, something that is hard to put your finger on. Now do the same with the other four. All of them should have different "feelings". Some may be similar, but like a fingerprint, all are different. This is their sig.

Intro to Sig Alteration

Hiding one's sig (or "psionic signature" and "psychic fingerprint"), is probably one of the most overlooked skills. Yet, in my opinion, it also stands strong as one of the most important skills. Imagine yourself a combatant. Now let us hypothesize that you are currently trying to scan your enemy so you may learn about his defense systems. But as a twist, let us say that your enemy has a Masking Shield around him. This shield does not make him "invisible", nor does it make him "unnoticeable", to the public eye. However, that only is true when discussing the aspect of face-to-face encounter. For when you attempt to scan your enemy with this particular shield, you find it impossible to "locate" him. It feels similar to attempting grabbing a fish in the water with your bare hands. It is near impossible to grasp the fish but once you do, it slips out of your grip and swims out of reach. It is very frustrating, to say the least. This is why masking your sig is so vital in certain situations.

A psionic signature is what all psions must use to locate you and scan you, hack you, attack you, etc. There is no other way. If that sig is "masked", then it is very hard to find. Thus, it is hard to do anything to that person. On the psionic/psychic "map", the person has virtually vanished. If one is more trained and better a psion than the person who is masked (or perhaps the Masking Shield was poorly made), it is possible to find them, but it still remains difficult.

Now let us delve deeper into this whole "sig business", and move onto the second topic of Sig Alteration. Imagine, yet again, that you are trying to find this enemy. You believe you have located your prey, when you come to realize that it is a signature dummy! You thought you had found your enemy, but in reality it was simply a replica of their sig sitting somewhere else in time, space, and the psychic realm. So you discard of the dummy and attempt to find your real opponent, in which you cannot because he or she keeps "slipping" from your grasp (the Masking Shield). The whole ordeal would be quite frustrating to say the least.

There remains one more sig altering technique to address: Sig Replication. This is where you replicate a sig (your own or another's) onto something, whether it be yourself, a construct, or thoughtform. This can be useful in many ways for offensive combat. It can come in handy for defensive purposes as well. I will not discuss the offensive purposes, however the defensive purposes I will confabulate briefly here: One purpose is mentioned in my article on last minute defense constructs. I talk about a construct I entitled a "Stamper". This construct has programming to seek out any target construct you give it, and imprint your own sig into it. The senario is that an enemy created attack constructs to destroy your shielding:

"Send this Stamper out, aimed at the attacker's shields. It then goes to his shields and puts your sig into it (a lot of shields actually won't block this, as it isn't an attack). Now that shield has its programming, the sig of its creator (whether hidden a little or not), and your sig (which usually looks like its "smeared" all over it). Now all those nasty little constructs that are aimed at you (your sig) will fly to the assailant's shield as well! It will be quite confusing when the attacker launches a few mean constructs, and he ends up hitting himself. Then he will most likely realize that his shield now has your sig on it (as it will feel extremely different). So now he will have to either: (1.) Remove your sig from the shield (which takes a certain level of skill), (2.) Put special programming in his constructs to ignore anything with his sig in it as well (which takes extra time), or finally (3.) Take down his shielding completely, and then put it up again (which is obviously the most unrecommended plan of action). So Stampers are a quick way to delay the enemies attacks, whether for only seconds or minutes."

Now you see one way in which Sig Replication can come in handy, replicating your sig onto an enemy's shield to trick the enemy constructs. Another way in which this would come in handy is for defending a friend. If you know your friend is under attack, you can replicate his sig onto a simple psiball, then send the psiball away to a random location. This would be Sig Relocation on another person's sig, a form of Sig Replication.

Sig Masking: How-To

So how do you mask a sig? Easy, with a specially programmed shield. If you do not know how to make a basic shield (or how to program one), find out now by means of reading an article on that particular topic. If you already know how to make a basic shield, then continue reading and we shall discuss the process of constructing the shield in question.

You begin by thinking over the programming and the process in which you will construct the shield. All your visualizations and thoughts should be thought over before hand (as with any construct). Then you begin the construction. So first, you will start by picking your preferred shielding method. Once you have picked this out, you will think over your programming words, feelings, or if you prefer, concepts. Along the lines of words, your programming might be something like, "Hide/mask my sig from anyone and everyone". Tactile programming methods might be something like the feeling of invisibility from the psionic community. For visual programming methods, you might like to see yourself unshielded. Then visualize the shielding forming around you, and the shield suddenly turning invisible (along with you inside it). You might like to visualize a psionic/psychic "map" that encompasses every human psionic signature. Then visualize a dot that represents you and your sig. Then visualize that dot "disappearing" and becoming invisible. You might like to use both methods. For this particular shield-type, I prefer the visual method only. I like to visualize myself in a black space, and then the shield forming around me and turning black, masking me into the fabric of the void I reside in. Another visual method might be to visualize people attempting to scan you, and you may visualize those scans at links shooting from their minds. Then visualize those links searching around, but never being able to find you.

Once you pick your method, you can begin. You might also like to "mess around" with different methods, to find the one that works best for you. Start by raising your energy level. You might like to warm up by making a simple psiball, giving it a basic program, and then destroying it. Then begin to form the shield. Once it is formed, program it the way you thought of beforehand. Or if you prefer, form and program the shield at the same time. Some people prefer to do things that way. Once you're done, kindly ask a few people to scan you. If they mention it being difficult because they couldn't "locate" you, then you've had success! Also note that if you do not know how to program or create a shield, as mentioned earlier: read an article on it. Programming and shield creation is outside the scope of this manual.

Remember that it is still possible to locate you while you are masked (whether it be because of poor programming on your part, or because the psion locating you is more skilled). Also keep in mind that, unless programmed otherwise, this shield has no defense mechanisms. That means that if a psion is able to locate you, they can attack the shield and easily destroy it, leaving you openly "visible" once again. One way to rectify this problem is to add extra programming. This programming may be on the lines of: "Reflect all attacks away" -- "Block all bad energy" -- "Do not allow reprogramming from anyone other than me." You also might want to add in a program to made it more durable against attacks. This can be done by simply visualizing the shield hardening into an impenetrable surface, and programming something like, "Become hardened and unaffected by all attacks". These are just a few suggestions to try. This shield can be very useful, don't forget about it.

There is one last method to hide your psychic fingerprint. This method involves the need to actually "tweak" your very energy field. I myself have done this once or twice, but I will not teach it here. Tweaking and messing with your field is a very dangerous thing to say the least. It is very easy to mess up, and even a little mistake makes for large damage (that is hard to fix, mind you). Although this method is very effective, it is very advanced and will not be taught in any article or manual.

Sig Relocation: How-To

So how do you relocate a sig? This involves taking a construct or thoughtform, and programming your sig into it. As you should know, any construct you make will have your fingerprint in it. Though it is possible to mask and partially remove this unique fingerprint from the construct, it is impossible to completely remove its trace. In this situation of Sig Relocation, you will want to purposely implant your sig into the energy in question. To accomplish this you must have a good grasp of two things: (1.) Being able to "just do" things (like the popular telekinesis method), and (2.) have a fair grasp of psionic signatures. Keep in mind that when I first learned this skill, I self-taught it. To be blunt, I "just did it", and then figured out how later on.

The easiest method is to simply take some energy, like a basic psiball, and put "yourself" into it. Think about this for a moment: What are "you"? When somebody scans you, they find "you". When people are around you, they "feel" you. This is the feeling that must be implanted into the psiball. Start by scanning yourself and trying to get a general "feel" for what you "feel" like, and strongly remember that feeling. Then take the psiball in your hand and "imprint" this feeling onto the energy. If you would like to use some visual programming methods, one might be to visualize your "essence". Then visualize part of this "essence" moving into the psiball and merging with the energy. Basically you want to just experiment and feel your way along, try some things out. Just try to "feel" your feeling imprinting onto the psiball. It is far simpler than it sounds once you understand it.

Once this is done, mask your sig (Above: Sig Masking). Then take the sig replicant (the psiball) and move it to a random location. Stick it in your backyard, send it to a friend's house, send it in the middle of the ocean if that's what you want. Then it will appear as if that is where you are located, and you will be effectively hidden. Once again, get some people to scan the psiball and test it out, make sure it all works well.

To make an even more affective "dummy", form the energy into a general shape that looks like you (something of a thought-form). Take a very large pool of energy, and form it into your general size and shape. After that, add in some basic color (skin tone, pants, shirt, basic face parts). All this should be done by simply visualizing it and willing it to be, just like you make a psiball. Once that is done, program it to hold its general shape and color. Now lastly, imprint your sig using the above method. To make it even more believable, shield the fake "you". Once it is shielded with a simple bubble (or preferably mirror) shield, imprint "yourself" onto the shield as well. Then move the entire "you" replica to another location. This is the gist of Sig Relocation, a very interesting and useful skill.

Sig Replication: How-To

So how do you replicate a sig? The replication of a sig involves the beginning skills of Sig Relocation, but upped a notch. You will need a slightly better grasp of sigs. The basics of Sig Replication involves taking another's psychic fingerprint, and replicating it onto a construct or thought-form. Applications are mentioned above, in the Intro to Sig Alteration.

You will begin by building a construct, such as a basic shelled psiball (once again). Keep in mind, though, that you can replicate a sig onto any energy, permitting that the energy does not resist (eg. a shield programmed to not allow anyone to replicate a sig onto its energy). Moving on, you will then find the target sig: Choose a person who's psionic signature you wish to replicate, then scan them. Get a strong impression of their "feeling" and their sig. Once this is done, it is very straightforward (if you can accomplish the previous Sig Alterations mentioned). Simply implant the sig in question, into the energy of your choosing (in this case, the psiball you just made). You do this by using the same method you used in Sig Relocation, but this time with another person's signature, not your own.

Various other applications exist, use your imagination. You can imprint any sig onto any thing made of psi (a shield, psiball, thoughtform, etc.). There also exists the possibility to replicate another's sig into your very energy field. This would be the very best method of making yourself appear to be somebody else (that somebody else being whoever sig you chose to replicate into your field). This is a very useful skill. However, as mentioned with Sig Masking, alteration of your field is advanced and extremely dangerous. Therefore, I will not teach this method either, period. I also do not recommend trying to figure it out on your own, as you may permanently damage your field.

Conclusion

I highly encourage you to read my "Emergency Defense Tactics" article found on this site. It utilizes many things mentioned in this manual in a slightly different way, among other things. It would be very useful to read and learn. Remember, safety comes first. Try not to make enemies, but if you have one, know how to defend yourself by masking and relocating your sig. Other applications apply for all three Sig Alteration techniques as well, and as previously stated, use your imagination. Good luck and be well.
