No. Just...no. Wingmakers is NOT real. Well...for the most part. Some of their articles aren't fluff, just plagiarized from other sites.

Wingmakers should be called fluffmakers because that is what that site does. It's the site that made me so sick of 2012 because of all the wild crazy things people would say and believe.

Yeah, Wingmakers is NOT the place to go to learn about psionics or other skills and abilities. Don't go there. They are major fluff bunnies that will lie and deceive you as they see fit. Trust me, they are almost always lying and just try to "appeal" to psions like us. It doesn't.

Its an interesting read (and I'm open-minded) but I highly don't put belief in anything I find there. When I first found the sight I actually thought it was a cult. Some years ago when I first found it they claimed to astral travel to different worlds and write down the coordinates of planets and what lifeforms and life was on them. (They obviously got some star coordinates off NASA and made some crap up) It was also followed by some long talk about their alien spirit guides. They have removed that part of it now though. Then I saw they were trying to make money in their little gift shop. Before then I couldn't figure out what they were trying to do. It was a good laugh though. XD
It is amazing how much fluff some people can come up with. I think someone is starved for attention.

I can't even get through an article. The telepathy article is about tapping into your 'chitta.' It then goes on to tell me that I should meditate on a Buddha, or a cross to be good at chitta (aka telepathy). When I get to the techniques I see that they are teaching me 'impinging.' When awakening my chitta I have to achieve 'monkey mind.' Yeah, I just tried, and documented my experience. Their use of fluff terms is what turns me off. Even the real terms they use are way off. They are teaching me how to do psychometry, and calling it telepathy/tapping into your chitta. Let me try another one, just so I can be sure. I'll do the shielding one. What? Fifth force energy? That sounds like a bad science fiction novel. For some reason they tell me that I need to be in the centre of the room to make a bubble shield. The wall shield section is pretty well written, if impractical (why make a shield cover just your front?). Interstellar travel? What fluff. MAGICAL CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY! OMG! I saw that in a pack with the crystal cave moon spell (with added fairy dust!). *Twich* I can't even finish dissecting this article. Eew. This is why I hate Wingmakers.

Well I did learn how to make a psi ball off that site, though probably they did steal off psipog or something. But there are people skeptical about psi and its real, so maybe this could be is real; I mean most of our stuff comes off really wacko and cult like to them. though most of there stuff does seem pretty lame.

I'll take this quote from DA, keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.

"though probably they did steal off psipog or something."
Not probably, they did steal from psipog and the owner has admitted it, but won't give the site proper credit.

Yes, I noticed that they deleted the shielding article. The one they copied from psipog (all the animations too!). Off topic: JK, I can't see your avatar. I haven't been able to see it for a while now.
