Welcome back. I'm glad you were let back in. Just try to remember not to bring it up to your dad for a month or two. Give him time to get use to the idea. If your mom does join, don't stress over it. I'll deal with her if any problems arise, but I've found the parent of the kid to be far more quiet and humble than the kid would think the parent would be. This is a good site and I think any mother could see that.

I agree JediKaren, i dont think my mum would cause any problems. I would just find it weird if i had posted something in a topic and two minutes later the next post would be "Hi Hun, dinners gone be done in a minute, can you help me dish it out?"

that would be getting off topic and therefore would not happen.

Yeah, i know. If she does have any questions about her ability, i might point her towards this site. I think it might be a nice bonding activity between us.

I'm so happy for you, jaxek. Like JK said, something good did come out of this mess. You know, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if your mom joined. Sure, it would be akward, but she would be introduced to something that part of her child's life. Definite bonding potential. Anyway, congrats on the averted crisis ^^ We're always here for ya

woot good for you im glad you still get to practise psi, im at the point where its part of my everyday routine so loosing psi for me would be devastating as not only do i use it for training but to relax as well so i feel for you man...but still learning your mom was precognitive... WOW thats a shocker still Kudos, and keep it up man and welcome back

Teach your mom the magical art of PM's. She thought she couldn't reach you before but now she can spam your inbox. And just wait till she learns telepathy, and remote viewing/sensing.. she'll have eyes on the back of her head.. literally.. Ah any parents dream. It would be nice to see some older users joining. It would give a different opinion on things.

That's kinda difficult considering that your dad most likely accepts Evolution and Magnetism, even though neither of them can be proven - they will always be theories. Just like Psionics - if anybody came up with any theories on where this energy is coming from and how we use it, it'd have to stay a theory, simply because theories cannot be proven; only tested and disproven. This is a simple law of science. Now, of course, don't confuse me with a creationist. Creationism isn't science, as it isn't a theory since it cannot be tested. I mean seriously, what are you going to do, sit God down in a room and tell him to create another universe, and then repeat it 100 times? lol.
I think there may be some genetic or familiar influence to psi. My mother has precog as well, but never really refined the ability and is not interested in doing so.

Ha, today has been a very agonizing day. Not upseting, but agonizing. Ever since my dad found out, hes been asking me to use my empathy on random people on the street, Just to prove to him im empathic. The first time i asked why, he replied " Well, if you cant tell me what she's feeling, how do i know your not lying to me and your mother about this whole thing" Believe me, i have done all i can to not bring it up but he seems content to prove me wrong. I said to him " It doesnt work like that dad, i cant just switch it on and off like a tv" he then said " Well maybe your fooling yourself".
And im sorry if it just seems like im ranting, i am reading eveything your posting. Thanks.

I know how you feel. I get the same stuff all the time from my dad. Your dad is right now scared of the idea that it might exist and he doesn't know how to approach that idea. If psi does exist, to him, he wants complete and utter truth that can not be doubted. All psions go through this. But the problem is psi is not a perfect thing that can be produce always on the spot. In fact it is harder to produce abilities on the spot because of the pressure to show your father your own beliefs. I have come to ignore my father, but I know it's not that easy. Sooner or later he will decide for himself it's true or not and that is that. He will most likely fall back on what he knew before, seeing how that is easier than accepting there is more to the world than he already knows, and deny the existent of psi. It will be your task to not let his view distract you from your own ideas. Do not let his truths become your truths. Keep an open mind that yes, psi may not exist. But you can still practice even with that doubt as long as you do honest research.
