Other people don't believe in bad luck and it barely affects them. But in another case other people don't but really have a bad luck.
If Kinesis is being used, it doesn't matter if the person believes in it or not. Bad Luck is simply the common name for what this would be perceived as.
I'm beginning to think that all constructs are future selection. In which case just future select all deprogramming being unsuccessful. Without falling into the intent that will bring about a lot more deprogramming in the future of course.
Future Selection is Kinesis applied to the manipulation of Future Probability, or in esoteric terms: Fate. The average construct works on the mental or etheric level, and has no kinetic powers at all. Thus, Constructs can not be Future Selection. They can be programmed to perform it, but they are a completely separate thing on they're own.
This.. -__- Hard to notice, easy to be AOLd into. There's been a common theory floating around that you could use pk to kill people if you had enough ability to spin a psiwheen fast. Alter their brain chemistry or their heart's electrical rhythm or all that. I assume shielding would stop that.
The problem with knowing how to defend against psionic attacks is because we don't really know what psi is, or how to impartially detect it without involving itself in the detection process.
You can also theoretically kill someone with telepathic and empathic suggestion, but this isn't a discussion about ways to assassinate people. I will say, though, that no--the average psions shield would not stop it if done properly. A more complex system of defense may work, but all out serious psychic warfare is entirely different then what most beginners think it's like.
For the immediate discussion, lets assume that Psi is what it's original scientific definition states it is: the theoretically mental (non-physical) substance by which psychic abilities function, which is by observation of those abilities not entirely bound by the physical laws of Time and Space, yet holds some degree of influence over physical things as observable in its expression as Psychokinesis.

If two people do that at the same time, with the same skill level, but opposite selections, what happens?
The person with the weaker focus loses, and the battle is over in an instant.
I put quotes around "physical" because I wasn't sure whether or not it's physical. I have no idea. To know, I would have to know what psi was, and what physical pathing it has, if any. Space. The concept of space and the concept of vacuum. Bunch of ways to do this, like creating a construct where all pathways at a certain (All possible ways in, which would include tp of constructs through shielding.) where the vacuum would act as a force to remove attacks from the c z without using a psionic method.. If you need to move things out of the vacuum you could take a leaf from an EM wave traveling through the vacuum and copy it's method. Like Adfeng, I'd rather not give too much details into my shielding

But so far nothing mentioned is something I haven't thought of covering at some point.
I get the idea of shifting energy frequency, but I haven't used it alot so I can't say I fully understand it and the practical uses of what your suggesting. I understand not wanting to go into detail, though. Thank you for saying what you have.
