I have decided to return. It has been an interesting but necessary venture. I guess I just needed a change of scene for a little while.
I have returned in a state of understanding that if i go out of my way to answer everyone's questions, they tend to leave after getting all their answers. I've decided not to answer questions in which their is documentation for, or other beginner arts for that matter. If someone really wants me to answer their question, they will have to private message me. I'm hoping that by doing this people will try to use their brain and figure things out for themselves. I'm not saying that to be conceded, I'm not saying that to state that I'm the only one who can answer questions. On the contrary in fact. However it was starting to feel like it, and was one of the reasons for me leaving. So I will take part in the more advanced discussions, as well as other banter, or things concerning the forum.
My end goal is to help bring psionics to a new level, and really push the limits on what the general consensus is for the bounds of possibility before being considered fluff. Achieving this by creating detailed documentation tailored from experience. There are a few things I want to be able to do first, but It shouldn't be too long provided I feel dedicated enough.
Alrighty~

I think most people get to this point if they stay in the OEC long enough. :P

Sounds like a great plan. In any case, welcome back.
Welcome back officially! ;)
I liked how [i]Sean[/i] put it: "Show me a question and I'll show you your ignorance."
Hope I remembered it correctly and he doesn't come and punch me.
It seems like we are stumbling on answers without even asking. It's just that the answers may look too absurd for us to believe in (especially in psionics and spiritual practices). I think that's why we ask others.
[b]Edit:[/b] Err, oops. Don't take it personally. It was intended as a theory of why people could be asking the same typical OEC questions over and over again.
