Meditation:

(Note: Meditation is a time of total focus and there are probably hundreds of different forms of meditation techniques. Far too many to list. We suggest that you try a few and stick to the one you find is easiest.


Here is a basic meditation process for now.
Lobo's form of meditation:
In order to meditate tense and relax everymuscle in your body and focus on keeping to one thought, and your breathing, don't let your mind wander too far from the original subject thought though. Slowly breathe in, counting, 1, 2, 3, 4, hold and then breathe out, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Rinse and repeat until you completely lose yourself, and your mind eventually wanders upon new thoughts.

Introduction to energies:

There are many types of energies, most energies we know of are all physical and cannot be influenced by anything but other physical energies. Once you and I learn to sense and manipulate sub-physical energies, we could be able to use these energies to fill and then control, then manipulate any physical matter,(in theory) A sneak peak into future lessons I'm going to write is this example: "In order to manipulate a physical object through energetic and mental stimulation alone, one must move the energy we call 'Ki/Chi" or "Psi', and fill the object with this energy, trying to sense the 'feel' of the object, and with that, one can -with practice- manipulate any physical matter as though it were an extra limb." If one could also clear the mind and interpret these energies, one could learn to sense, feel, and eventually "see" these energies, and the energetic field that ALL living or non-living things possess, and then the ability to witness astral beings and the deceased comes.
But before one can do these things, one must first be able to feel and influence these energies.


Feeling your own, and other's energy fields:

Start with this meditation/concentration exercise:
Close your eyes and slowly try to clear your mind a bit, this shouldn't take too long, anywhere from one to fifteen minutes. Once you feel you're done, begin to try and "feel" EVERYTHING about your physical self and let go, trying to feel the energetic field around you. Remember that this field IS a part of you and may feel as though it's your own skin, but bigger, (personally I feel like I'm growing and turning into a giant marshmallow.) Once you've understood this exercise and have done it two or three successful times, move onto trying to connect this feeling to the closest person, living thing, or object, once you've connected to this target, without moving physically, you should be able to feel this target's energy field. This energy field is more commonly known as an "Aura."
If you join this exercise with a third eye opening technique, or meditation, you should be able to see faint aura outlines within two weeks.
Once you learn to feel these energies, you should be able to manipulate them with ease. Before manipulation practice, though, it will be a tad difficult, especially separating thought influence from imagination.

Miscelanious things a newby should know:
What Not To Do
Before you get started trying to bend the spoons and forks, let me give you some tips on why it may not work or hasn't been working.

1. The reasons why someone has difficulty cultivating their telekinetic skills is usually one of several things. Some human emotions like stress can impede the process, though, once in awhile a stressful situation can actually increase someone's ability to achieve what appears as superhuman traits. I'm sure you've heard of the situations where all of a sudden something happens and someone can lift a ton of off someone. Yes, that has to do with adrenaline but there is also a dynamics of "quanta" going on there. In the moment of "have to" they released their natural ability to, seemingly, defy science. They didn't think about it, they just did it. No thinking, no preconceived judgments. Don't think about it so much---just practice without preconceiving.

2. Usually, though, if there isn't any real danger or need, the human emotions inhibit the path that the brain requires to create the neural network it needs to create this atmosphere. The more negative emotions, like guilt, fear, non trusting, judgmental attitudes and suspicion are enough to inhibit that natural flow that is required. One must believe it is possible. How else can we expect to manifest anything if we can't believe it's possible? You can't.

3. Don't obsess on it---relax!! Enjoy, cultivating another skill. It's not race, or a test. It's not about worth or worthy. So many spiritually based philosophies are based on reward. Spiritual awareness and evolution are not "prizes" you win. Opening up to higher levels of spiritual awareness is a growth process of evolving one1s consciousness. Telekinetics is just one more skill with the ability of possible manifestation.

4. Don't carry preconceived ideas as to the outcome. Experience it, naturally. Don't script it. Don't tell yourself how it should go or that you have to be at a certain point at a certain time---all that impedes the energy. When you do that you are so busy thinking that the correct atmosphere or pathway can not be presented. Will and Reason are not juxtaposed to telekinetic ability.

5. Don't get frustrated and angry at yourself. Again, relax and have fun with it.

6. Don't be self-conscious. Yes, many times people feel foolish or self conscious. Don't. If you can't do it right away it says nothing about who you are. It simply just says the spoon or fork isn't bending, yet - that's all.

The diffrence between, Alchemy, Psionics and Magick:
Alchemy is the practice of meditating and using chemistry and science and pure concentration to attain spiritual perfection. This is a branch of magick.

Psionics are the practice of mastering the energies around you to either help your mind grow and expand or to master and be able to control your energy field to control physical objects and better yourself.

Magick is beleiving a higher spiritual force is out there and by using a certain dedication, concentration, ritual or spell use it for what you wish or feel is right. You don't have to believe in a higher spiritual presence to pracitice magick. Magick is also a broad subject full of smaller cattagories like Alchemy, Chaos, Blood, and so forth.


All of these fields almost inter-tangle with eachother so there is little diffrence between some aspects of all research of each.
(this may not be what everyone beleives if you feel it's wrong please tell me what you think)

One thing anyone looking to improve their psychic ability should really learn is meditation.

Alchemy is actualy a branch of Magick and to practive Magick you don't have to believe in a higher spiritual being.

I didn't know if you wanted me to change it or not, seeing as you are the guild leader.

Ok, I edited it.
