I'd like to say hello to you all at this site. I have been practicing psionics (Off and On....sadly) for well over 9 months and I am looking to start over. I can't really say what my main areas of psionics are because I am a little interested in all aspects. Oh, I am also a member of United Psionics Online but I feel that I should also see what else is out there in terms of new people and "hearing" about other peoples perspectives on the matter. I guess you can say I am gathering what I can from two sides to produce a new whole as far as my understanding and practices are concerned. Enough of my rambling...sorry . Thank you and see everyone around!.

Gladly. Here goes: Telepathy, Empathy, Telekenesis, Clairvoyance, and Remote Presence. Of course I will also need to know the basics such as Energy manipulation (Which I am progressing at), shielding (Only made 1 successful shield) and others since I want to start from square 1 again. I forgot to mention that I read and printed out most of the articles on PsiPog and have been studying them for a while.
Thank you for your help.
Edited- 2-7-08 :
I forgot to mention that I also have a great interest in OBE's or Astral Projection.

Thanks for the articles. I am learning a lot, especially about myself. I was never quite sure but by reading these articles I have confirmed that I am a natural Empath. The more I think about it, the more I realized that when I look back on my younger years, up until now I could feel things. I could pick up on feelings as if they were my own. The Psi-World article on Empathy said that most natural empaths attract people who want to talk about problems and feelings, that's something that what has happened to me for years now. Another thing that confirms this is my changing of moods depending on the people around me, or the feeling of wherever I am in general. Maybe I am reading or not understanding it right and are getting too excited but if it is true then I need to learn how to control what goes in and out.
Thanks again for the articles. I found out a lot.

No problem. I'm here to help . PsiLinks has some good articles as well, but you can see them unless you become a member.

As a natural empath myself, I have a word of caution: The articles can be very missleading in the boundary between telepathy and empathy (not all of them but especially some of the ones from psipog can be very muddlesome). From what you describe you might be a natural empath. Empaths do not always attract people who want to vent. I never did, and I am DEFINITELY a natural empath. Your first step to 'controlling what goes in and out' is shielding, shielding, and more shielding. If you find yourself reacting to what people say before they speak, or grabbing meaning from vagaries, then that's more likely telepathy than empathy. If you are a natural empath, I have one word of advice: Avoid large crowds until you get your shields solid. Overload is very, very painful.

Hello Psi-Fi. Check out the articles on this site, there are a number of good ones there that should be of help. This site tassadar-archive.net/index.php links articles from a lnumber of different sites if you're looking for information on a specific topic and can't find it here. UPC was listed in one of the above posts, it's unfortunatly off line at the moment. An archive version of some of the articles is avaliable here though web.archive.org/web/*/http://upconline.netI agree with DA that "attracting people who want to talk" isn't a definate hallmark of an empath (although I've found myself that random people I've never met before seem to often decide to talk to me about all sorts of often personal things without any prompting from me. *shrugs* you'd need more information to see how common that is among empaths to see if it's likely to be relevant, and even then it wont always hold true, same as anything). I'd actually be curious to know if anyone else had any thoughts on that. (Not trying to derail the thread too far, I'll move it if needed).

First of all, thank you all for your recent replies. As for the description that I mentioned, I know that it was o a mis-understanding. Jaci, thanks for the links, I will read up on them. DA, I am kind of ashamed at the fact that I have yet to create a successful shield but I will practice more. Hopefully "reading" and "doing" will help me answer some questions I have about myself. I also do the things that you mentioned DA. I sometimes react to ones thoughts or words, mostly without realizing it.

Another thing I forgot to mention, I am anti-social so I should have no problem staying away from a lot of people in order to hone my shielding skills. : )

Nothing to be ashamed of. I was using Empathy for um *does quick math* Yeah about 17 years before I created my first shield and I had to have someone else shield me for a good month before I got something sturdy enough to take over my own shielding. (And have a couple someones drag me kicking and screaming out of outraged denial. After all there was no such thing as empathy! I was just 'good at reading people'.) It's a matter of practice. You likely won't have a massive passive range (what you pick up when you're not trying) to contend with. Watch your reactions now that you've got an idea for the signs of both telepathy and empathy. There's nothing wrong with self analysis, just don't wind up trapping yourself into second guessing yourself. Take notes (in short hand code if you're worried about someone finding them and reacting badly.) Compare your own notes to previous findings. This will help you sort out what's going on accurately. ~The Devil's Advocate

I will, Thanks.
P.S. I experimented with telepathy recently with my friends and got some surprising results. My friends got so amped up about me telling them and wanted to practice. For starters we played the Symbol game. One of my friends tried sending the symbols with no results and I decided to give it a go. I sent the symbols to them, after they told me what they got, I told them what I sent in order. One of my friends got 3 out of 5 right and the other got 2 out of five right. To make sure it wasn't a probability thing we kept at it but it seemed that I was a better sender than my friends.
It surprised me because I only practiced telepathy once, months ago. It made me want to practice more.
