Energy Manipulation.

Blah blah article blah teach blah blah blah you blah blah energy manipulation! This article is to improve your understandings of basic psionic energy manipulation. Not so much to teach you as to correct all mis information.

Sensing energy is as crusial as being able to see more then five feet when your driving.(I use this specfic metephor because I am near sighted and mostly blind at night, and thusly know what it's like to not be able to see more then five feet in front of you whilst driving.) If a psion cannot sense energy, he won't be able to check on his constructs, opponents defenses, possible harmful energies, and so on. Allot of people seem to misinterpret sensing and remote viewing. Remote Viewing is psychically getting information of a geographical location or item. (Obviously in a way that normal people cannot do.) Sensing is simular, except the information you are receiving is about the energetic equivelant of things, generaly that are in the astral. (All energy is technicaly in the astral plane, and part of our consciousness is belived to be their as well.)
A few good articles on sensing and basic energetic manipulation/ Stolide's article|Orion's Basic EM|JediKaren's Psi Ball\

When you try sensing, don't expect to get things right so soon. All great things can't be learned in twenty minutes, you must practise for hours and hours days and days to perfect your technique. Do so with friends that are decent in programing. As I'm sure some school councellor told you, "Making friends is'nt easy.", well, sorry Johnny, they lied. Most of the time, it is done over the internet, whear you just go into a chat room, and say "I need someone to help me practise sensing.", if they know your new, they'll expect you to mess up, so don't get discouraged. If it's in person, chances are, you already know them and are comfortable enough, if not, this article is not for you. Anyone interested in finding a good place to get started over IRC chat, I'd go to Psionics Online IRC If no one can help you there, ask around for other places, or just wait for a later hour. I also suggest going to one of the forums I have mentioned in previous posts, preferable one of the ones I don't hate, would'nt want you lead in the wrong deirection. ;)

Now then, while, at this point, it is hopeless for you to look psi-savy, you can atleast look like you know everything the articles have to teach you. (Which as best as a newbie can be.) So I'm going to explain the typical games. First off, this is a common telepathy game, shapes and colors. For our version, you'll want to make a psi ball, program it to have a certaint shape, and a certaint color. (Complex, I know.) Commons shapes and colors are (Seeing as it's a consctruct and can have three-dimesions...) Cube|Pryamind|Sphere|Stare, colors are Red|Blue|Green|Yellow. You'll usualy have to go through the pain of specifing which ones you want to use when first starting off, to make sure there is no confusion. Another game, which I'm just going to toss an idea out there, so I don't have to repeat what hundreds of other articles have already said...// Some one programs a shield, the scanner has to figure out what kind of shield it is, or programs a consctruct to attack in a certaint manner, or gather information, or vamp, anything that would simulate normal psi-fighting situations.

And speaking of psi fighting, I am going to explain how normal psi fights go down. Initial disclaimer, psi-fights are'nt like DBZ whear people go crazy, nor are they even all that interesting to someone with a life, but they serve as very good practise to anyone who wants to be able to defend against an, rare but possible, attack. Or maybe you just want to experiance the effects of psi to learn. As with most things psionic, it's over the internet. (Wonderful I know.) Psi fights can be compared to chess. Some times their ment to take months, usualy consisting of one move per day. And sometimes their gone by in real time, one move right after another.
All fights need a reff, unless it's just practise. The reff should be an experianced scanner, some one to dictate if the fight is over and when attacks need to stop. The probable effects you will feel are headaches, maybe mental disstress, nausia, effects on blood pressure, or body tempurate, and in extremely rare cases, unconsciousness. If it's to much for you to handle, just say your can't take it. Shilding and sensing are the most important aspects of the fight. As with even regular fights, it matters more on how you can take a hit then how hard you punch. Grounding is very good, if you can manage it, as most effective attacks are overloading the opponent. (I hate to do this to you, but if you don't know what an overload is, go here.) The next most ideal thing is to be able to change your defenses quick, or even have an extra energetic body lying around. (I would suggest both, in the order I listed them above.)
And now for my digression. Most psi fight articles tend to exclude the most basic definition of what the psi fight it. Two psionics, and their ref, useing all means of energetic manipulation to destroy the others energetic body. Simple, most common attacks would be, just make a psi ball and program it to become fire, or a bomb, anything that would obviously be damaging. Viruses, poisons, so on, get creative. Now for my "violence is the answer people." If you are to scared of a little controllable pain, yet want to experiance a simulated psi fight, other then suggesting you should get over it, you should explore the idea of creating a consctruct to represent your energetic body, rather then attack eachother, you attack the consctructs. Same effects, if you still want a descriction of the pain, have it create a tingling feeling in your hand that intesifies with the pains, if you really want to go out of your way, it's really not much worse then a common head ache.
When some one first learns to program a psi ball, their just being introduced into an infinite world of ideas. Seeing as most things we learn are'nt infinite, we are dumbfounded and at a loss of ideas. Allot of people are advised to making the psi ball effect the temperature or a small area. The problem is it's usualy not enough of an effect to check for change. I suggest combining other abilities with energy manipulation, such as making a consctruct make everyone in a room happy, or some other emotion. Combine it with remote viewing and create psionic camera's for an area. An important skill in programing is making your shields and other various defenses.
As well as other things such as consctructs that can manage your energetic body, and ground it, vamp energy, and depaternize energy so you are not effected by psi poisons. You can even add micropsychokinesis to your shields and create wards. Wards are used to avoid certaint things, you can program it to avoid a certaint person, or germs, or bad weather. Anything, seeing as wards use microPK and that effects chance. You can create consctructs that boost your ability, for example, you can make energetic aura vision glasses. And much much more.

I think that concludes this article, for now. Any one reading this understand it has only gotten good enough to be critizied, so don't say nice things about it. >:0
