Still new, would like advice

[metaedge]

So I'm still pretty new to this. I'm a computer/mostly video game, programmer so I have a pretty linear thinking pattern. This would be a large thorn in my side for this kind of activity however I do have a fair bit of knowledge about physics and it seems, if you look close enough (being quite literal there) you'll find that even physics claims this to be true. It seems that, if you look at all the physics formulas that all energy behaves the same. What I think is that this psi, or energy really, is the same as all other energy, physical included.

Anyways yeah, so my real question is if I have correctly identified this psi. I was pondering what it might feel like during a movie with my family, but I started getting lost in the movie, it was really good . Anyways, it got to a really climatic part and I shivered, you know, not the "I'm really cold shiver", the like inspiration/energy shiver. I don't know, hard to describe. I'm guessing that this is the psi I'm looking for but I just wanted to be sure. I played around with this energy in my body that night. I was able to recreate the same tingling feeling in my palms and some other parts of my body by focusing on them and visualizing pushing my energy down, or up, to that part.

I tried forcing this energy into a ball between my palms, I visualized it like zapping into a spot between my hands for a about 5-10 seconds but had to stop because I felt a bit drained. Just wondering, how it will feel when I get it right?

My last question is this. How do I know if someone is a pisonic? I was just chatting to one of my friends the other day, I guess I should give some back ground on him. He seems to have a lot of similarities to me, he programs as well, is interested and have had lucid dreams, is very open minded to all sorts of weird stuff. Today I was chatting with him after I had shown him my newest game, and was describing the different branches of telekinesis. Of course I didn't want to let on that I believed it lest he thought I was nuts. However he threw me off by saying he already knew about it. Of course that wouldn't be enough to even make me start thinking that he might be a pisonic, it was just how he said it. He said it in a very skeptical way, and like he knew much more then he was saying. It was very out of character for him. I got to thinking that maybe he is a pisonic because of the many times he's revealed other things about himself that were so similar to me. In any case I wouldn't be surprised if he was one, I would just like to know so that we can talk about it in depth.

I would come right out and ask him but, like I said before, I'm afraid he, like many other people, isn't ready to accept this knowledge, and would think I'm stupid/childish to believe in it. Is there like any ways to scan his energy or to scan for like a shield or anything else that would distinguish his as a pisonic?

This site is dead pretty much, but I guess I'll answer these last questions for the last time that I'm gonna be on here.

1. When you get it right, you'll feel something between your hands, hot/cold, tingly/numbing, whatever it wants to feel like.

2. Ask them. Just ask "Do you practice psionics?" IF he says "what the hell is that", the obvious answer is no. Then just end it there, and if he insists on asking what a psionic is, Just tell him and then end it there.

I'm sorry I missed spotting this sooner, Metaedge. It sounds like you probably were manipulating psi, though I've not heard that analogy before. I like it. Usually when you create a psiball there will be a sense of some sort of pressure. Many have described it as being similar to magnets repelling each other when they try to hold their hands around it.

As for how to tell if someone is psionic? There are scans that you can do, like you mentioned. I'm not going to go into the details of the scans in this post, but feel free to PM or e-mail me. I've also been fortunate to be on IM lately in the evenings and early morning, so you may be able to catch me there.

Hope to see you around.

P.S. Goliath: He already said that he did not want to come out and ask. Also, the statement you made is not true, just because he responds with "what the heck is that?" does not mean he is not a psion. I was taught how to shield and do various other psionic activities..let's see..that would have been 6 years before I ever heard it called psi. I had a teacher that did not refer to psionics using our terminology (in fact most of his I have not found elsewhere) and it made it very hard to be involved in a larger community. These were the days when a browser search for "white wolf" would probably only bring up the game and not scientific articles on the animals themselves and beautiful pictures of them.
