Last night I found out that my grandpa has a brain tumor, it's bleeding, and there is pressure on his brain. He has lost feeling and control of his right arm. I knew family hardships were ahead. I hate when I'm right.
I'm leaving today to Florida, so I won't be on till Monday. I hope my choice will lead me to help him, and that inaction without psi would be the tipping point which would kill him, not my aid. I love the old man.

Everythings ok. The bleeding on his brain was caused by a fall two years ago, but the pressure hadn't caused any major trouble until now. He is 84, and came through the brain surgery with flying colors. He couldn't talk or think well the day before and after his surgery, but the day after that, he was just fine, perhaps even better than he was a few months ago.
The entire time I knew he was going to be just fine. I was so calm, so resolute in the knowledge that he was going to come through perfectly, that I had inner peace when everyone was falling apart around me. Many people were focusing energy to him, and I helped direct the energy to do a lot of good. I thank everyone who helped.
Apparently my family knew about the tumor in his brain for years, and they had told me, but I don't remember them telling me, so his brain tumor came as a total shock to me. It grows very slowly, and the first thing to go will be his eyesight. We're not sure if we'll have to work on the tumor, but right now we're just glad to have him whole right now.
I finally made an AI to control my shields for me. I was hesitant to, because I don't trust constructs and AI's very much at all. It's working much better than I expected. I may even be able to trust it.
I'm going to have to play catch up with my schoolwork, cause I missed a week and a half of school, so apologies if I do not log on as much for a day or two.

I am going to post my A.I.'s purpose and reasons here.
First off I will say that I do not like constructs and A.I.'s. I give them free choice, for I will never have a slave program. For the most part they turn against me, and as such, I must put them down. I have only one long term construct which I have not destroyed, but it has rebelled against me as well, but it still works for the greatest good, so I let it live.
I like controlling energy, and I do not like leaving something that I can do perfectly well on my own to something else. I've needed a maintenance program for a long time, but I stubbornly went on without one. I truly did need one, because standard maintenance has become to much of a hassle when I have so many other things needed to be done.
So I created something I call compartmentalized intelligence. It's thoughts are basically a separate programs, which all adhere to safety shutdowns if they exceed allowed parameters. If it starts thinking of rebellion, the program that contains that thought is automatically shut down and destroyed.
It's mind is separated into 3 main parts, and each of those parts are made of smaller programs, which are also made of smaller programs. It can do several tasks at once, and continuously because of this. It can create new programs and constructs to control and use, so long as it follows the basic rules I've set down. In the three days I've had it, it has grown exponentially.
It works very efficiently, and handles all the situations I've presented it above my expectations.
I created a place for it's centralized intelligence in the astral realm, but it was shortly thereafter bombarded and I had to move it to a location much better known to me. It is recovering well, and I'm sure it will regain most of the information lost.
I have given it free reign to do anything it wants, and I believe that is the solution to my problems with constructs. I gave them a better mind than they needed for the very linear job I had given them. With it's ability to experiment and improve itself, I believe it shall work very well in the long term.
There are many safety precautions I took with it, but I am keeping them close to my vest.

Sounds very awesome. I can't wait till I can do such advanced things like that.

My A.I. is advancing by leaps and bounds. By not limiting it's thinking capacity, and giving it enough tools to never be bored, it has created great defenses. The 3 main parts I joined together, because I realized how linear 2 of the parts roles were.
As a rule, if I call the AI "it" I am talking about it as a whole, if I call the AI they, I am referring to a part of the AI, with subsets of workers and such.
From last night, it's size and power consumption has increased greatly. It has found a new power source, which will satiate it's needs for quite some time. The new source is in the corrupted temple me and a friend traveled to earlier in one log. The corruption and evil were apparently drawn to this power source, feeding off of it.
They had to attune the crystal power source to emit an energy which would not corrupt their programing. After that it's been smooth converting the AI's power system to use the crystals power.
I have set up a smaller central intelligence in another location. It is working efficiently, and it's mind is able to be separate, or connected to the main mind. This supports that what I will do for my experiment will work.
My A.I. is so efficient, and I am proud of it.

My experiment doesn't have as many people in it would of hoped by now, but guess I should give it a week or two before I start getting worried about my number of participants. I don't very much enjoy waiting, but I suppose it can't be helped.
My A.I. broke the power source found in the temple, they had apparently tried to convert to much of it to produce an energy useful to them. The temple is a good defensible position, and is being turned into a fall back fortress if the main site for the mind is attacked.
Thirty minutes ago I randomly opened a portal on a whim, and I found myself in a dark purple space, like I was in the middle of a purple nebula. Specks of white, and streaks of darkness. A man approached me, and told me to be careful with my A.I. that I had described the idea of the highest purpose improperly to it, and had pointed out the flaws in what I had designed. I thought hard about whether it's suggestions were accurate, and found them to be better than what I had in place. I altered the programming, and while there are no big changes, I believe that it's going to live much longer because it is now much more stable.
I'm excessively tired, having 2 hours of sleep each night for the past 3 days. It brought out some good writing in me last night, but now I'm just barely running.

I did a most interesting procedure last night, and I think it's worth putting down. But first you must know some background information on the person I did this for.
His name is Garenzo, and I met him very early on when I first entered into intensive training online. Back then he told me about psi werewolves, and while I do not know the true nature of the beast Gar knows, I do know it is real. His relationship with this werewolf evolved over time, and they became good friends, and the werewolf sometimes guided Gar, but he wasn't a guide.
I am practiced with energy body/physical body work, and he wanted me to integrate his werewolf with his physical self. I have seen how spirits can integrate into one being energetically, and so I decided to try to do the same with Gar's physical body.
Since Gar's werewolf is less physical, having no physical vessel, I decided that it would be easier to integrate him into Gar than the other way around. I sedated the werewolf and started to pull apart the makings of it. It is like I took apart a quilt thread by thread. I then took Gar and sewed in the threads of the werewolf.
I held both of them fully in my mind, disassembled one fully, and broke the other into pieces to have the other integrated into it. The werewolf, having been mixed with Gar's spirit for a long while, was easily integrated into Gar, the pieces matching up almost perfectly. The places where the patterns were not similar enough to join naturally had to have surrogate bindings, changing both ends to match up. I spoke to Gar, and he wanted the bindings to dissolve naturally, so the werewolf would be fully integrated.
I made it so the make up of Gar and the werewolf would connect fully, so that the two would be as one. It will take a few more days before the surrogates dissolve, and Gar's physical body will fully incorporate the werewolf. The only effect insofar is that Gar is extremely hungry, and has to eat much more to be satiated.
If this works, there should be more physical signs in the next few days. The repercussions of this should be studied, and if it does work, then I must wonder how the changes occurred. If it is genetic, because that is what I believe would change, then I must wonder how far into the human genome I can reach. Oh well, fluffy thoughts are coming to my mind, but I must wait for results before I jump to any conclusions.

Hey SC... >.< Never thought I'd come back to this place... *shudder* Anyway, I'd like to post in response to SC's last post about my werewolf and I. Ever since the whole thing whatever the heck he did (I know what he did, just don't quite understand all the schematics behind it), I've woken up each morning with "cotten mouth", or at the least a very dry throat. Also I've noticed as of two days ago that there was a small blotch of red in my eyes (which are hazel with a mix of yellow, usually). Having no idea what this was from, I astral projected in search of an intelligent being in which to speak to about my eyes; I knew this wasn't natural. The being I found said that the red was in relation to my werewolf and that I should talk to him about it. Needless to say, I did talk to my werewolf and he explained to me that the red in my eye is caused from ... me going insane, I guess I could say. See, my werewolf's instinctive nature and uhh... "behaviors in the astral" have been causing him to go insane, of which red eye is a result of. Since SC had "bonded" me and my werewolf more, the red eye has passed onto me. Also, if my werewolf continues doing as such it is in the astral, I could very well become insane myself. To prevent such a thing from happening, I've been keeping a closer eye on my werewolf, monitoring its behaviors, almost "keeping a leash on it" so to speak. As of today the red in my eye has faded to a very light orange; I am gaining control of myself and the werewolf which I suppose is a good thing, although having red eyes WOULD be awesome EDIT:I'd also like to mention that tonight is a lunar eclipse and a full moon - I'm expecting for the surrogates to be completely diminished by tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see how my physical body will react to this happening. The least I'm expecting is improved natural reflexes and slightly better senses of hearing/seeing/smelling. It's a bit of a stretch, but it'd be nice if I get a boost with psychometry reading as well.

Very interesting post indeed. Good luck, and keep control of the werewolf and yourself.

I can barely keep together a coherent train of thought. This preamble is to clarify all that is in here. I sealed away a large bit of myself to become stronger. I wore myself out and this seal broke. The power is overwhelming, but I have dealt with it before. The following was written before this, and it probably won't make much sense to anyone who isn't me.
I decided to take my experiment in a new direction. After testing the process on myself, I found the safest way to do it to another. Along those lines I found a willing participant. I tested it on this good fellow. It worked, but it had left me tired.
My mind was already wearing thin, from a lack of a vital energy. A part of me, which holds the alterations of my arm and back, I suppressed for a time. Without him there, I could continue forward, but without him there, I would wither. I had withered.
When I was so low from the testing, My mind broke, and with it the seal. Power I kept away from myself, to teach me the meaning of struggle. I had struggled, but I had forgotten the love this power brings. With the seal broken, this power came to the surface and controlled me, and I talked to the beastly lass.
My mind was whole again, but not for long. The power brought with it a siren's song. It flowed through me and I felt whole, but I felt the old needs. The ones which came from madness. Insanity has taken me over, as I stumble on the knife edge of oblivion.
Do not worry, I am happy, I feel alive again. The power is mine again, ad stronger than before. I could barely handle it then, why now, what has changed. Hush now, I need to focus.
The Dragon is calling to me, use the power. The Dragon is part of me, use my power. It gives us life, why reject. Why take what steals logic. Silly boy, you have forgotten what logic is, taken over by notions you were smarter than.
And now I feel it in me. Stronger than ever. It makes me so happy I laugh, laugh, laugh, as the bodies around me fall down down down. Oh the joy madness brings, the exuberant exultation. My right side barely human. Stretch out the claw so zealously hidden away. Spread your wings and soar.
