Ok I was reading threw the articles thinking about all of the things that one can do with psi and other skills. then i got to thinking that if one could instantly learn them then they would be able to become more advanced in their lifetime. this got me thinking. What if someone made a construct and used telepathy in that construct to put all of his/her experience in it. Then programed the construct to give it to another person. so i propose to you all to create one of these constructs and send it to me or to a person that you know and post the results. If u send one to me please post it here so i know. thanks.

In order to take advantage of such a thoughtform, one would need an amount of skill greater than that which one transmitted, or at least my attempting the same thing has shown such.

If someone awakened your latent ability for kinesis, yet you have no concentration or energy work as a foundation for control, would things exploding or people getting hurt when your angry really be worth it?

It's much better in the long run to focus on building a strong foundation before trying to build the walls for the third floor

Not only that, but the actual skill must be practiced, since through practice the energy body also becomes more developed. The construct would show the person how to perform the skill, but the perquisites would not have been fulfilled, which in this case would be the actual raw power and concentration to do it. It would probably be a good way to share information though.

I agree with isaacweirdo.  Good idea and nice for passing on information, but everyone is different.  So, one person might use one technique for psychokinesis and when you try it it wouldn't work because you're different.

Oh! I forgot to mention that as well. The construct might also limit ones creativity, since most psions these days believe there is only certain methods to derive a certain result, which in truth is slightly false since one can become creative with their methods. Yet there is usually a common foundation for most methods to achieve a certain result.

Tried it.  I tried a different way.  It failed miserably and ended up badly for myself.  I'm not going into detail.  PM me if you want more information.

ok well this is for new ideas so they shouldnt be shot down so fast.....couldnt you put the concentration in with the other expeirence in the construct

I thought I'd heard of this before, and I just remembered where: http://www.psionguild.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3504 (edit: read the whole thread--what I'm referring to starts on page two with the "modsoul" idea)

At best, this concept can be applied to helping you learn psionics by allowing you to directly experience certain things your self, so you can raise yourself up to and above that experience naturally--thus mastering it. At worst, a construct like your wanting would simply allow you to use psionics so long as it's programmed to help you do so. In the latter case, should the construct ever malfunction without you having gone and trained properly, you'll be like harry potter: completely and utterly defenceless without your precious "wand."  

So my earlier point stands: stop being lazy and go practice. With few exceptions, every one else has had to do it. And your not special enough to ignore it, either.

[psiman]

I totally agree with shin, there realy isn't a magic pill that you can take and become a master
of psionics you have to to take the time to practice, the dreaded word,lol.

Would you really want to 'instantly master' specific skills? I mean, yeah sure, it might be useful and everything, but you wouldn't actually be experienced, or knowledgeable in that area of psionics, or whatever. It would be like.... using a cheat on some video game. You get everything, but where's the fun gone in trying to 'unlock' these prizes of some description.

[Azulo]

Could you use this to introduce somebody to psionics, and allow them to feel energy for the first time, rather than pass on all of your knowledge?

[yamitenshi]

I don't see why not. If any knowledge can be passed on, then why not the basics?

Instant mastery would be a bit besides the point however. The discovery is most of the fun. Not to mention knowledge and ability are not the same.

[Azulo]

How would I go about finding somebody willing to do this for me then?

I had tried starting this in october of last year, and I did not get anywhere. I could only feel psi once, and im not even exactly sure if it truly was psi.
All I would like is to learn the basics so I may start to practice.

Just curious if you know anybody who could do this.

[yamitenshi]

As far as I can tell, anything here is just speculation. However, you might ask around the forum for someone skilled in telepathy, see if they're willing to try.
