I noticed that when I make psi balls, they are usually cold. I got used to the feeling of cool wisps of air flowing around and out of my hands. Today I was making a psi ball and I felt a cold breeze flowing towards it from all around me. Anyone care to explain? I know I can manipulate the temperature but I was not trying to. When I was feeling the cold breeze I was just concentrating on making it larger.

Maybe your Psi are cold by default lol Maybe you are indenting them to be cold (sub-con-ly.)

It could be a subconcious programing or it could be simpler: Your mind currently interprets psi as a 'cold' sensation when trying to put it into terms the less rational parts of your mind can 'get'.

So you are saying: If I imagined in the begining that Psi are hot, they would be hot?

Maybe so, but before I tried I always thought psi would probably be warm. Thanks for your answers. What about the breeze? I tried looking around but most places only talk about sensations in your hands, not the rest of your body.
And confuded, yeah that's the way I interpret what he is saying.

I'm female, Absence. The breeze I'm not certain of I frequently get a feeling of 'motion' when I'm concentrating on exactly where I am placing psi around my body, so that could be part of it. As for my other comment, you are both close. Detecting Psi is essentially its own sense. Unlike the other 5 senses we are not taught to correlate the psi-sense with specific concepts from an early age. If a Psiball "feels" like it is somewhat resistant one person may describe the sensation as trying to push two magnets of the same polarity together, another may describe it as a 'heat', and another as a 'cold', because these are concepts that we understand.
Our minds try and find a way to explain in put they don't understand in terms of something we do. That is the origin of some of the optical illusions people draw in alot of the kids magazines that are found in schools in the US. (I'm not familiar with where such things might be found in other countries.) These drawings are designed to trick the brain into misinterpreting what the eye is seeing. As you work with them you learn how to see the drawing whichever way you please.
Our minds seem to do the same thing with Psi. Just as 3 different people may see 3 different things in one of those drawings, 3 different people may give different descriptions of how they are detecting Psi. That is one of the tricks of dealing with other psions, figuring out how their explaination, their analogy, actually matches up with reality, or more importantly with YOUR analogy and what you thought you were doing as well as what actually seems to have occured. (None of these are neccissarily the same thing which just complicates matters more.)

DA? oh goliath can you freeze water yet? Not that good, i can bring down the temperature though in room temperature water, so i know its not just natural cooling, and i can also grab somebody and make it feel like cold air is piercing through them I wish i was better at it, so i could get to the point of instafrost

goliath, are you saying that the way you interpret psi could make certain skills easier? i interpret psi as a pushing force, does that suggest that i might be able to use tk more naturally?

No, do NOT EVER think of TK as a pushing force I once perceived "if i think of pushing psi into the psiwheel, maybe it'll spin" and i did that and i put all my energy into it and i almost fainted on the spot and i woke up cause i hit my head on the desk hard enough The main thing to TK is to not think about it, to just let it run free Ive become good at TK now

One question for you, Goliath: Why not if it works?
~The Devil's Advocate
PS There are some who have told me that that is EXACTLY what they do. Please give me your rebutal in something more substantial than blatant generalizations.

Please give me your rebutal in something more substantial than blatant generalizations. If it works, go ahead Im just suggesting not too, at first, visualization/pushing psi did not work, all it did was kinda knock my brain senseless, and this is from first hand experience i also looked on peebrains and NI's articles (not trying to sound obsessed with them, but i mean, they are pretty experienced), They both agreed that thinking about things actually makes it somewhat worse. NI also said that trying to keep it in the subconcious part of your mind helps, which the only way to get it there is to practice, and like you taught me DA, the more you pratice, the more it sticks BTW da, what CAN you move with TK? ive always wondered
