emotions?

[bdpdgoku]

Not sure where i would find this but i guessed that it might be in this part of the forum.

Ive read that psi energy can also come from strong emotions like anger, fear, love etc. is this true?

[JediKaren]

yes. We normally would call this the "darkside". I don't like them and don't advise drawing from them. Be calm and peaceful and you're control level over your skills will grow.

[bdpdgoku]

really reminds me about Star Wars. But i will stick away from "the Dark side." I would rather be on the good side anyway

[JediKaren]

There is a lot of truth in that movie.

[bdpdgoku]

probly why i liked it so much

[Shadow]

while drawing energy from fear, anger and other such emotions can be dangerous, i believe it can come in handy when trying to protect yourself. just look at what happens to animals who try to protect their young from predators.

*note* i am in no way advocating the use of the "darkside"

[Shadow]

*pardon my dust*

not trying to be a butt-hole or anything, but when i first joined this forum you(JediKaren) criticized me for posting links to tv shows saying that they had no truth. as I've stated before, the links were merely for visual purposes...but you speak of Star Wars as if it were as real as the air we breathe. while there can be certain lessons learned from the movie, it is still just that...A Movie!
like i said before--not trying to be a butt-hole, but it just sounds a bit hypocritical of you.

[JediKaren]

Yes I know and I'm well aware it's just a movie. I was only mentioning the idea of the darkside, which in my mind is very real. Those tv shows end up giving the newbies a very wrong idea of what they can do and how much time it will take.

[bdpdgoku]

Ya the real amount of time it would take to get that powerfull would take an extremely long time, compared to the movies a couple days or weeks.

When peforming any non-physical ability you have to always be very aware of your emotions.

If you are imbalanced then you'll end up draining yourself further. When you are at a stable level, you can act properly, and think properly. I think that's what JediKaren said above.

I don't think there are emotions like anger or fear. I think there's either love, or fear.

And fear is the absence of the more powerful emotion like love, and so love is the only thing.

Now love is not just the feeling when you're with a girl/guy, it's all of the good feelings you've ever felt put into one. Everysingle thing that could be labeled as "happiness" or "joy" is love. Not just the sexual or companionship based notion that we humans have labeled today.

Now fear, is not just when there's a scary movie. But it's when you're not sure whether you have enough money to buy something, even if you just want to get a shirt! It's just a lower level, a smaller representation of the same "force" that pushes us to act and express ourselves.

Now, I think the lower ones, like fear or anger or all the "bad" ones, are simply negative energy forces. They will drain you and weaken you the longer you have them within you. Love, or absolutely any "good" type of energy you have radiating throughout your mind and body (all of them) will cause you to improve in any case.

Now with Psi, I believe you're simply gaining a conscious control over this energy within you. Not always emotional, as it's not based upon an event. Yet it's like it's gathered from pre-existing wells, and you're simply working with it as you would gather blood to light weights and work out your muscles. Only you do that subconsciously, because you're subconscious takes care of most of the things.

What do we control in life? We make decisions, and we feel the results of them, either physically through sensation, or mentally through thought and perception.

We can literally control only our bodies at first. Yet if we train we can control how our bodies react to things, when before it was simply subconscious. If we can break through to the subconscious' job, at this level. Then what says that with more training we can't simply continue on. I think that's what psi is about, because eventually we learn to control the actual energy that creates and animates our bodies, and our MIND, while before it was all simple reaction and decisions represented by emotions mentally, or by sensations physically.

[bdpdgoku]

So these emoition(s) are basicly "the force", not trying to include star was but this is basicly where this is coming from.

[JediKaren]

Um can we please get off the star wars topic and back to the emotions and psi?

[bdpdgoku]

Ya but all i was saying was that its very strange how we can relate to that movie.
What would we call the people that use psionics for bad things? How would we know these people are this way if we see them?

[JediKaren]

So far there is no name for them because there aren't enough people that do that to get a name.

[bdpdgoku]

hopefully there never get enough to have a name.
