Flaring, psi construct temperature

deliberate flaring takes a lot more effort, practice, time, and skill than the articles, or the people who claim to flare, say.

Usually, when it happens, it is random, very rare, and uncontrolled. Some are better than others and it happens more, though its still not controlled.

I see. One thing I've always wondered is why it's impossible to program a construct to be visible. In theory, it should work, based on what we can do with constructs, such as pass emotions.

On paper, causing a construct to flare would require energy of such density and precision, that the current level of “above average” practitioners is still not enough to do it reliably. That being said, construct flaring has been known to occur unintentionally or in rare instances, actually controlled and manifested.

I personally have only seen one flaring with my naked eyes under controlled circumstances. After breaking down the technique that was used, I can give this observation/suggestion;
If you can get energy dense enough, it should flare. And when I say “dense,” I mean DENSE. For this you will need to get the energy from your environment. If you make constructs with your own internally cultivated energy, I can pretty much guarantee you will not have enough. The practitioner in question explained that she took the energy from as much of the immediate area that she could visualize; coalescing thousands of cubic feet of ambient energies from lights, heaters, plants, even rocks. When she had all of the energy “in motion” she twirled in into a moving sphere in front of her. Over time she kept making it smaller and smaller by compressing it denser and denser. After about fifteen minutes, we began to see small “flits” of light emanating from the densest region of space in front of her. They were reminiscent of the sparks generated by striking flint, but they seemed to have a random trajectory; it was very interesting. We also observed a slight “lensing” effect in the same vicinity. We took a few long-exposure photographs for the case-file.

She had emphasized that the amount of energy that she needed for that was incredibly taxing on her body. I regard her as a very capable person and will give emphasis on the fact that the research supports that.

My suggestion is not to worry about flaring at this stage. When you are capable of meeting all of the conditions needed to flare a construct, you will know how to, and will do so.

While I don’t recommend it, there are experiments you can do to re-create what is known as “ball-lightning” with semi-ordinary household components. Ball lightning is not entirely understood, but the conditions that can create it are just as such where one privy to the ways of science could design a way to do so with psionics and create similar effects. *WINK* *WINK* *NUDGE* *NUDGE* ^__^

If you have a lot of psi built up, the best method to deal with it is grounding rather than constructs. Pretty much any serious practitioner knows about grounding.

As for flaring. Don't get discouraged. It takes lots of time and practice to flare. I've heard many accounts of it and ErikJDurwoodII's story is at about the farthest end of the spectrum of how difficult it should be. You won't literally need to take all the energy from a thousand feet around you but the description she gave him is a good idea of what to truthfully expect, you're not going to be able to generate all the energy yourself, you're going to have to take it from the area.

Of course there are several methods I've heard of and some are doubtlessly more efficient then others (spinning is a recurring theme) but the general idea is to pack as much energy in one place as you can and to get it as excited as possible. When you do eventually find a method that works it may be easier than Eriks friends method or it may be just as hard. Different techniques can be more or less difficult for different people.

Keep practicing but don't get too serious about it until later.

Yeah... but the one Erik saw was repeating, numerous flashes. High quality flaring. And Erik - you said you took photos of it. Do you still have those around, that we could see?

Yes I have those photos, but I have to ask her permission to distribute them.

This calls for an EXPERIMENT!

Hmmmmm but how to design such an experiment...

Also how do we control the conditions of the experiment....

Hmmm...

any ideas? ^__^

Dunno about ideas... but, from what you've seen, you can manage some impressive psiball action by drawing energy from nearby sources... attempting the same should yield me with something I can actually detect

Well, Erik, you're the psi-entist here. ;D

And if it's not too much trouble, would you mind asking her permission? The only photos of visible constructs I've seen are the badly taken 'enhanced' pictures. Although something curious has happened with my constructs.

It's not exactly visibility or flaring, but Psihoenix, a member of United Psionics Club whom you may remember, is a friend of mine in real life. We were sitting in Spanish class yesterday, and I was able to make VERY good psi balls. As well as, I'm very easily able to 'tickle' him with psi. However, when I made one psi ball yesterday and shelled it, Psihoenix and I both saw sort of... 'links' between fingers on the opposite hand, an example of what I mean being between the two index fingers. To describe how they looked, it was like when you look at a bright light, and then look elsewhere, and you see a sort of 'burn-in.' It was a mild version of that, however, the links stayed between my fingers when I looked away. I'm occasionally able to do this and I'm hoping to make it stronger, as I'm now beginning to practice bone breathing.

However, any insight as to what these 'links' are would be appreciated.

if this was rl we could use the same setup that you used...DAMN INTERNET

anyway...if you were to hold your hands up against a uniformly lit wall of uniform color, we could easily see it through video or pictures...but i dont think thats the problem.
what if someone were to make a shield that temporarily prevents someone to draw energy from the space around them??

Why not just program a construct to draw energy from its surroundings by itself, to stop only when you make it? In theory, it could work.

[!--quoteo--][div class='quotetop']QUOTE [/div][div class='quotemain'][!--quotec--]Why not just program a construct to draw energy from its surroundings by itself, to stop only when you make it? In theory, it could work.

In theory, certainly. That is something worth checking out.

In my experience, autonomous constructs tend to work better in tasks like gathering information and light PK effects. To gather enough energy to flare, the construct itself would need the capacity to do so and that would be pretty complex. Also it would most likely need to be monitored and held together while it works.

More experiments are needed!

There is a lot of debate over whether or not a sufficiently programmed construct can accomplish a psionic task that you, yourself cannot. I feel that is a complex issue that needs more testing, but evidence suggests that a construct is usually as sophisticated its programmer.

If a construct was able to be programmed to gather enough energy on its own to manifest a flare then by extension, it could also gather enough to say, create matter, or grab you by the waist and carry you through the air.

Understand, constructs are not just a sculpture made by your mind and its totality is the sum of its whole. It is an extension of your mind as well as your psyche. There are levels of properties most people are not aware of that are “encoded” into a construct. Those who lack the experience to sense it tend to encode emotion or stray thoughts into a construct and it loses clarity and usually fizzles out. If you have enough energy to make a strong construct, but still lack the mental control or clarity, the construct can become “polluted” with your own emotions, thoughts and agendas. Dr. Frankenpsi this ain’t, but the potential for a problem exists.

Once again, some form of mental grounding like meditation will GREATLY help in your success with ANY mental discipline; especially energy manipulation.

Right. So it'd be like coding in C. You'd need the capacity to do what you wanted it to do, and then program it to the exact specifications. So if I were to program a self-sufficient construct, it would need to be able to sustain itself long enough to flair, as well as be a construct with only that in mind, no other extra emotions going in.

I think I'm going to test this one. Seeing if it's possible, at least within my limits. I'll let you know if anything interesting happens, Erik.

Sounds like a plan.

So, in regard to the idea of properly testing weather a person can draw enough energy from themselves in order to create a visible ball, couldn't someone be placed in a Plexiglas box (with enough air supply to sustain themselves) and have a (is it copper or brass?) layer of metal on the inside or outside of the box so as to (nearly) eliminate radiation or electro-magnetic waves/influence? Then on the inside have one of those boards on one side of the person that has those equidistant stripes and a slow-motion (HD?) camera on the other side of the inside of the box, with the person attempting to create the ball from their own energy between the board and the camera?

ha ha...I know that sounds incredibly complicated, and there's no way I have the time, energy, not to mention money for something like that, but you know...he he...just got my mind going with the question of experiment construct.

if they have their own air supply, whats the point of the plexiglass? Air will still be moving.

Well, the psi ball never attained visibility. But, I did manage to get it to stay. I made it by two candlesticks on the table in my dining room. When I felt the spot where I made it, I could easily feel it. I'll check when I get home to see if it's there. If it is, but still not visible, I'll just dispatch it. If so, I'm going to try leaving it for awhile.

However, it was getting stronger as I felt it. Maybe it'll be visible when I get home.

haha.....very true. But at the same time the person in the box has got to breathe, right? haha....I guess that's something I'd have to think about.

Maybe get an air tube through it to the person's nose and mouth or something? Then seal it off on the outside so no additional air could get in or out except for in and out of the person's lungs?

Mkay. I'm just reviving this topic for the sake of updates.

I need any tips for actual flaring. I know it can happen by accident, which is the main time, or you can do it with an abundance of energy. Well, I've essentially mastered psi balls. I may sound conceited and overconfident, but hear my out.

I can bring up a psi-ball in literally a second. I can make a shelled one from nothing in the same time span with a technique I found that works for me. I can make one from a distance, and I can control its temperature. Additionally, I can change the shape, ranging from a ball to a cube to a frisbee. I can move constructs, toss them to others, and toss them to myself.

So, now my only question is this: Are there any specific techniques for flaring that you might know? Erik has somewhat answered this by using a hell of a lot of energy and taking it from things around you. But is there anything else?

-Pkero

Well, a psiball programmed to spin will naturally take nearby energy. Also program it to emit light. Discharging all built up energy at once works best. That should get you a quick flare at intervals. The variables here is the velocity of spinning and energy output at the moment of discharge.

[!--quoteo--][div class='quotetop']QUOTE [/div][div class='quotemain'][!--quotec--]Well, a psiball programmed to spin will naturally take nearby energy.

Uh, no. Spinning has nothing to do with it getting energy.

Vulcanis is right, there's no reason why that *has* to happen really. However the confusion may be some people might have this happen through a kind of concept programming. After all if people expect it to happen it's easy for that to transfer over into the programming.

The whole 'spinning' thing comes from a technique suggested in a PsiPog article. I've tried it numerous times and had no success, so I'm looking to try other things.
