sand moving

[neeoo]

hey i know i posted an article about me having a mental block but i trained as hard as i could .. i stayed awake over night and i managed to move a bit of sand ... it moved forward a little then it stopped ... first i thought that i was halucinating <<< (or whatever the word is ( because i didn't get much sleep but then i trid again and it worked... doest this mean that i'll be able to levitate sand

[leethal]

You may, in a while. The thing is it takes a whole lot more strength and focus to levitate something and keep it at that than it takes to budge it a bit.

[neeoo]

okay but how exactly do i levitate it whats the tech

[leethal]

Well the way i move stuff is see it in the next position. Although right now i'm on a downslope (can barely move it.) So if you were to visualize it raising and commit to it, you could possibly have it hop.

Or maybe just focus your psi on a tornado shape, with the center on the sand, people good on AeroKinesis might have it easy.

Though if you want to use AK to lift something, you should make it air-friendly (parachute, or a large contact area)

[eldurner]

i'm not a teek by any means, but maybe you do the same technique you did before, but just think "up"

just a suggestion

Sure, one has already said that weight with TK is only a conception of our world. Theoretically (since i havent seen anything) everything weighs the same, but the difference between people is the ability to bypass mental blocks/cultural blocks which lead you to thinking that a table is much harder to move than a piece of paper.

[nuukaprotector]

Actually, to levitate something you need to accelerate the object upward to a velocity higher than 9.8 m/s² (which is the gravity). Weight is nothing related about perception and nor is gravity. In essence, bigger things shouldnt be harder to move, but in reality they are. You need to meet certain requirements before achieving certain results.

Or are they? maybe it's just your mind not allowing you to bypass this ever-so-important rule that heavy stuff is harder to move.

Like said, a bowling ball and a tennis ball fall at the same speed. But a bowling ball leaves a hole in the ground. Don't try to stop them, kids. Don't try this at home. I sure haven't. I'm just saying i don't know the rules to psi yet. All i can do is rotate a low-resistance object on a stable point.

[nuukaprotector]

They fall at the same speed because the force that push them down is the same (and that is supposing that they meet the same resistance like air, etc), but in the case of levitation you have to overcome gravity plus the weight of the object.

Do you know that for sure? just asking

Plus i'd like to go offtopic here. If everyone stopped believing something existed, would that thing disappear? (probably goes like the sound that the tree does.) It's just that i see things happen as you Believe they happen. So if everyone believes there's no "pencil", does it disappear? Here's a headcracker for you.

[nuukaprotector]

That's no headcracker. The pencil will not dissapear even if the whole world thinks it will disappear. Otherwise the Earth wouldve been flat centuries ago, no? People used to believe the Earth was flat, or am I wrong?

[leethal]

maybe it was, but some guy started to believe it to be round, and by reaching it's limits, got it to be round Hey, I'm just playing by ear.

The pencil is still there in reality, in the person's head the pencil is not there. This makes the person wrong.
If believing in things is the key to everything then believing that everything requires equal ability to be influenced by PK would make you a psionic god in seconds, there are people who believe that weight is nothing quite wholeheartedly, yet they still struggle with PK and the normal rules still apply to them. Doesn't that seem strange to you?

The moral of this story: Don't quote people that believe everything Yoda says.



Edit: removed a word that randomly popped up when I posted.

with psi, everything wieghs the same. its just how we percieve it. if we are able to overcome the mental block, a peice of paper is just as easy to lift as a car

[Dumplins]

Yeah I have over come one and I gotten a psi wheel to move and I'm happy about it because I been trying to spin it for months
