Psiball Questions

[snowballrox]

My friend was over yesterday and we printed out a psiball article from Psipog.net, since she has much better visualization skills than I... She tried it out. My friend was going to get energy from the sun, but it was cloudy so we were trying to decide where she should get her energy from. The suggestions turned silly soon enough, and my randomness was bugging her. She finally got really annoyed with me and said "I'll take your energy instead!" So I went to the closet while she focused. I soon started feeling tired. (Plascebo effect, anyone?) After about ten minutes, she said she was finished. I went out of the closet and saw her focusing with her hands cupped. I'm not sure, but I thought I saw a faint purple and green glow in between her hands. She kept the psiball for a couple of minutes, and she got bored of it and wanted to get rid of it, but it stuck to her hand. She eventually had to stop thinking about it before it dissapeared. I have couple of questions about it.

1: Is it possible to get energy from someone else?
2: She said it felt like a bubble, can psiballs feel like that?
3: She also said that it felt like magnets, is that possible?
4: I thought I saw purple and green, but I read that they are usually white and blue. Are those colors possible?
5: Do Psiballs stick?


BTW: This was her first time trying.

1) Yes it is possible to use someone else's energy. It is considered VERY bad manners to do so without express or standing permission though. If you do it on purpose without asking you need to stop. If you do it on accident, you need to learn control.

2) Yes.

3) Yes.

4) Unless you flared it it's no specific color because it's not emmiting light. Your brain is interpreting what you sense psionically and translating into a sense you can understand. So if your brain reads the input and thinks it translates to purple and green rather than white and blue then yes. I don't SEE when I scan at all, it's knowledge and if there's any other sense involved it's typically tactile.

5) They can depends on how they're programmed.

Psiballs can have a variety of effects and 'interpretations'. We do not have the terminology to describe what we detect with our psionic senses, and in most cases the concept of using senses other than the 5 physical is foreign enough that the human brain develops a sort of synesthesia (that is substituting one sense for another) and translates the data into a sense it can understand. Many of these 'translations' are used by psions continuously because we do NOT have any more specific terminology to actually describe psionic input. But while you might see a hazy purple. I might 'feel' something like a loose ball of wool. We're both picking up on the same data, just interpreting it differently. Variations are to be expected.

Yeah.... I guess... My favorite colors are purple and green. I thought it was my favorite colors, because she used my energy. I did give her permission to use my energy, so it's okay.
I have 1 more question, though.

She didn't program it at all, she just made a basic one, so why do you think it stuck to her?

[psionicstorm]

probably had something to do with the energy she was using, or it might just be part of the way she manipulates energy.
Mine always feel like they stick to me, hard to make 'em float.

She might not have actually gotten the psi out of her hand. Like when i make a psiball real quickly, i dont really make a psiball, i just pool it into my hand.

[snowballrox]

She said it was MOSTLY in her right hand. Also slightly in her left. She said that if didn't feel very solid. Is the fact that I'm emotionaly attached to her have something to do with the sticking?

[goliath797]

Yeah, im guessing it's what i said.

I dont think she did it right.

Sometimes i make the mistake where i pull the psi out first, and then shell it.

The default way i hear of most people doing it, is you create a spherical shell (or whatever shape you want) and then you fill that with psi. I think she did what i did, except she didnt pull it out.

So i think she pooled all her psi into her right hand, which is why she barely feels it in her left hand. It didnt feel solid cause it wasn't shelled :/ im guessing.

I dont think you being emotionally attached would effect anything...

[psionicstorm]

On the contrary goliath, i think emotional attachment would have an effect. It is his energy, contains his "sig" as people like to put it. Emotions play a HUGE part in your life and can manifest physically. you can shell it, that will probably help.
What would have been interesting is trying to take your energy back from out of her hands.
PS. try using ambient energy, theres plenty to go around.

What's ambient energy? Sorry, but I'm new to this stuff.

She tried to give me back the energy, but it stuck to her.

[The Devil's Advocate]

Ambient psi is just what it sounds like. It's free-floating not really 'attached' to any one or anything. Though it can be 'colored' by things around it. It can carry emotional overtones based on what's gone on in the area where I am, there's been enough violence and general nastiness that the ambient psi gets kind of a 'polluted' and rather negative feeling to it. For practical purposes it's harder to work with.

If she actually took the energy and shaped it, it became 'hers'. She might be able to transfer a like amount of energy to you with practice, but pulling from is usually easier than giving to.

That could be possible, but i don't think that would effect the process of making a psiball. Possibly might effect why it stuck or why it felt magnetized, but things like color or overall why it stuck to her right hand, might not have anything to do with emotion. Due to the fact that color isn't really existent unless it's flared, and that for the problem where it was only in her right hand...well that's just a guess

[The Devil's Advocate]

You made valid points, goliath. With the information available we can speculate but we cannot say with absolute certainty.
