Did you just get that psi wheel to move or made your first psi ball? I'll bet you're pretty excited and you want to tell the whole world right? You can post it here.
Just tell us what you did
How you did it
How long did it take you to do it.
Any tips you would like the share?

Please note this is only for solid, well known skills, not theories.

Yay, memememememe!

Basically, I discovered that for more than two years of practice, I was in essence not using all my sensing potential. I am naturally closed to anything from outside me, and for years I hadn't noticed that there could actually be another state. Actually, I'm not sure. However, just by "opening" myself I think I have done a giant jump.
In any case, though, it came to me when I was practicing with someone to maybe make a TP article (that we never made) and, since we weren't getting any results, we decided to link and try again. I hadn't experienced a link before. I sent a lot of psi to the signature of the person I was practicing with, and it seemed to be working. But then, the other person says that I'm blocking him. I wasn't really trying to, so I figured I'd just do the opposite and try as hard as possible to not put any resistance to anything - and I surprised myself. Right after opening, it felt really weird. It was as if my identity was lost completely, as if anyone could get in myself and get any of my thoughts or secrets or whatever. I had never felt that, so I thought it was because of the link, which was afterwards well done and underwent some testing which is outside the topic.
However, it wasn't because of the link, because after I killed the link after the practice was done, the feeling was still there. Only then I noticed I could feel psi outside my body easier than usually. However, I couldn't shake the state off immediately, and I felt unsafe enough to set up a shield like as soon as I could. Time passed, though, and after I went to eat, I was back to normal.
As for how long it took, I don't know. You can say, from the start of my life, which is 15 years ago. You can say since I started practicing, which is a little more than 2 1/2 years ago. Or you can say nothing, because it was actually a side effect of something and I wasn't really trying to get it to happen. Or maybe you can also say I did it in the first try, since I did it correctly the first time I actually tried to do it.
And as for tips, if you have my same problem, I suggest you *try* to see if you can do this. You might not even know you do, so just try it and see if there is any difference. If not, you might be already open and unaware of it. Since I don't have a lot of bodies, I don't know for sure.

Ok I seem to be the oldest one here yet I feel the weakest one here. I rememeber when I first found out I had this wonderful gift I thought in my mind. Great just great I am going crazy. I knew the day someone was gunna die mind you I didn't know the time or place but I didn't go swimming ecause of it and I have so many other things happen it is not funny. In 98 99 things got really werid and I forced it out of my head until I asked Yarvin(my bro... NOT IRL) How the hell I could meditate because I figured it would help iwth my major rage problem that I had going on. Yet like the hell I knew what would happen when I meditated. Things that i htought made me crazy and now I am here and asking myself sometimes am I crazy or is this real and can I do what I think I can. All I know for sure is that no matter what I will keep on doing this because I love it... I just wish I didn't feel so weak all the time.

No one is weak forever in my opinion. I think if you do enough training you can get stronger.
For the first 4 years I nearly quited about a million times. I remember thinking I was just making up this feeling of psi and that it didn't exist. It was dark years for me and every time I tried to control my life, it slipped out again and kicked me in the gut. There were months that I couldn't feel psi due to fear, hate and depression. There were also months were I trained my butt off which is why I can do what I can.
Even in dark times I have found joy in psi. An example of this was when I had spent the whole night staying up dealing with my drunk mom and being sick. At noon I finally got a chance to sleep. My mom got up two hours later and I remember waking up, feeling horrible and just wishing I could go back to sleep and forget this nightmare. As tired as I was I managed to open myself to psi and it was like a light shining in the darker plac possible. I found the strength and hope to get up and see what needed to be done. Ever since I remind myself in the darkest of dark there is a light somewhere near you that will forever shine. Note my little message thingy below my name.

I think this is a good place to say my stories. Most of these are when i was a kid and i didnt know much.

were do i start.. i mean (looks at his big book. the enciclopedia, aint got nothing on me )

well. ive been giesting most my life. so ill post a few of my experience's.

on lonly night, when i was about 16 or so. i was being a normal teen..yeah right.. i was praciting making psi-balls, and charging my body full of psi. not this might sound like yeah ive done that. well ill tell you a secret. i didnt know what one was till about 6 weeks ago

so anyways. my childhood was pritty average, domestic abose. constent yelling. but you know. the norm these days. so i learnt to hold and supress my emtions. so this is what i was doing. (at the time of falling asleep)

i was about to fall asleep, and for some straing reson, i had these two little pillows. now i couldnt get to sleep with these in the way, so i randomly threw them.
One landed at my feet, and the other on the floor. about 2 minutes latter, trying to fall asleep. but totally anoyed at the same time. this noise came just beond my feet. ( at this point was so over come with fear, thinking NOT AGAIN, LEAVE ME ALONE!
it sounded like someone was going threw my things, then in an instant, the noise went to the other side of the room.

at this point i clamed down a bit, and made myself fall asleep. (this has happend, to many times to stress over ^_^)

i woke up, on my back. now this is really straing because. i toss and turn during the night. i was suspisuse. i then i turned my head to the right, and OMG those stupid pillows. and my right arm was placed neatly on top..

ive never slept walked in my life. i also questioned everyone in the morning. and there like "err no". and my door and window are both locked at night..
well ill let you figure the rest out ^_^

more stories to come ..
stay tuned

All right I am starting to stress out and freak. There is this really old old house I have to walk around on the outside to make sure no one is sleeping on the deck and what not. Anyways things are starting to happen, I am seriously starting to get headaches everytime I go on the land where the house sits... when I leave I feel sick, weak and dizzy I feel like my right shoulder as been stabbed. I went in at midnight once and it felt like a million hands where pushing at me and did until I left the land and was on the sidewalk. I do not want that hand feeling and before all that nuts happened...

I was talking to myself and then I heard something like a chair move on the deck when nothing was there I ran scared and *shudders* I can't zone them out I sense them every freaking time I go near that house... see I protol the outside but there strong there too and I can't put up with this much longer... I might just try and forgot all I have if this keeps up. I am starting to want to run scared because of all this happening to me when before it never did.
