Psionic Study Group 1 (Code: PSG-1)I don't claim to be a teacher in any sense. However, I'd like to open a little meditation/NLP/psionics* study group where we meet up in chat and discuss stuff, learn from each other, and try the techniques in these groups together. If you're interested, PM me with the subject "PSG: (name)" and mention the times you are available for this and what knowledge you already have on these subjects.
All are welcome, even newbies, although we expect a sincere effort on everyone's part to learn and try to teach.
{FOR TL:DR PEOPLE: If you're interested, PM me with the subject "PSG: (name)" and mention the times you are available for this and what knowledge you already have on these subjects.}*I chose this mix because meditation is helpful for psionics, psionics is helpful for NLP (At least to me.) and NLP is helpful for meditation. For those familiar with all three subjects, you probably know what kind of relationship those three can have, and how much of a positive feedback loop (

) this can cause for all three skills. (Did you catch that bit? About the positive feedback loop in NLP, meditation, and psionics, all referring to a different topic in each subject? Where it can be negative if done wrong in psionics? Where it's helpful to relax in meditation? Where it's a technique in NLP? Oh never mind.)

I will send out a blanket pm when I set a session time. Sessions will be about 1/2 to 2 hours long, depending on how far we want to go.
Psionic Study Group Treaty First off, this study group is intended to further the knowledge and skill of the group members by means of group experimentation, a sharing of knowledge, and gaining experience through techniques being practiced together and on other members of the group. This study group begins with the intention of covering the three specialist skills related to magick:
1 1) Psionics: In this is included tele-empathy, psychokinesis, remote sensing, etc.
2) Meditation: In this is included trancing, APing, OBEing, focal meditation, relaxational meditation, etc.
2 3) Neuro-Linguistic Programming: In this is included the use of various NLP techniques and models, such as the Meta Model, Milton Model, etc.
3 These three points are related to each other and have a supportive effect on each other. For one, all of the three can be described accurately by the following statement: "application of mental states that lead to end states."
4, or thought manipulation. The one distinguishing factor dividing these three points are as follows: Psionics uses the mindset of using "energy" and altering such "energy" to cause a result. Meditation is the alteration, focusing, or other form of affecting one's own thoughts, again to achieve a goal. NLP is the use of language to alter, focus, destroy, or bring about changes in the thoughts of yourself or others.
5 This treaty is subject to change and can be considered under construction.
Appendix:
1: I refer to these as specialist skills to magick because these skills are neither necessary nor fundamental to magickal practice.
2: I have included APing and OBEing into the meditation category instead of the psionic category because it doesn't seem some of the actual techniques used in achieving these require psionics.
3: The focal points on NLP in the beginning sessions will be the use of NLP to supplement and aid psionic practice, to break down psionic mind barriers, to help meditation, to attempt to place others into trance, activities involving the subconscious, etc.
4: Full credits to the Tenon Non forums for this quote. Feel free to ask me to remove it if you feel this is in poor taste.
5: There are several other uses, of course. I feel that it is important to point out that NLP is slightly different in that you are not causing the change of thought yourself, although you are being the catalyst for change, you are not bringing about the change yourself when using this on others. Thus, the use of both "alter" (To refer to the alteration of your own thoughts.) and the use of "bring about changes" (To refer to being the catalyst, but not actually altering the thoughts of someone else.) is valid.

I know but do you know?
If you were afraid of drowning, for instance, what if you drowned from being afraid of drowning?
I wish to speak to your deepest minds.
If you were somehow afraid, and protecting your mind from the effects of psionics, what if your minds were damaged by being protected from damage from psionics?
If you were deemed crazy, what if you died for not being deemed crazy?
Fear is the mind killer, but if success leads to death death is a deathly success.
