What about programming a shield that learns grows and evolves with you? Sort of like a AI to help you out in tough situations and help point out subtle information that you fail to pick up..
That is not necessary, because the action that is in the representation is predicated or possessed by the person who thinks about the thing, thus, the abstract form of the shield is an extension of yourself. For example, in the statement "I think about about a shield", you are the one that thinks about the shield. The representation of the shield is the content of your thought, thus, it is a form of you which represents the informational aspect of the shield. As such, it is a part of you making it so that it would evolve, learn, and follow your subconscious intentions to get you through tough situations since an intended thing is the direction of a represented thing in which the representation is the ability of whatever is involved to represent its own thoughts.
Deliberate handling of representations of your personality through totems, avatars, etc. in the form of attaching an intensional component to a particular linguistic symbol or art can be useful, but is not really necessary since this is always an implicit thing in the background.
Shields can be used to alter events around the shielded, as well as the various psi related things.
It's also worth mentioning that a shield programmed to, say, protect you from attacks, is a weak shield. It's actually a little harmful. It has a nasty little expectation in it that you will get attacked, which creates harmful events/attacks either from other physical events or psi manifestations.
Programming something along the lines of safety would be better. Always program for something, not to prevent something.
That is too vague an intention, because there are many ways to keep you safe in which it might not be what you wanted not to mention feedback on if it is working can be somewhat coincidental leading to a person thinking it is working when it is in fact not working. I said in another post that the thing which helps to strengthen a tangible expression is coherence, accuracy, and organization in the information The motion of a system is surprisingly unintuitive to most people, thus, people's expectations of how they can be kept safe may not match what happens or their expectations may tack on subtle directions which cause it to not work very well which can include future attacks. Also, an intention is a representation of something in which this representation has implicit normative views of the world, so there will always be some trace of an implicit expectation of reality since it is built upon what a person thinks or should think about it in which this is not proportional to the explicit thing. In other words, a general goal and can still have implicit expectations tied to it due to the nature of the intentional component which is the content of the thought which is an extension of that person's experience of the world.
An example would be if I thought "I will be bald", another person thought "I won't be bald", and another person thought "I will prevent baldness". The things in common are baldness in which how these people think about baldness reflects their feelings, possible fears, and
expectations dealing with how they perceive baldness. How these people think about baldness is the intentional aspect, but the type and scope of expectations ascribed to this thing vary.
While how psi works is teleological and complexity independent, the teleological aspect is more of a phenomenological view of how it is experienced or done where you have a representation of the thing that is thought about which may be non veridical or not altogether accurate in regards to the information which is transmitted in which how it is done corresponds to subtle cues about the abstraction of that action.
You can get around all of this by creating an exhaustive framework which uses information gained from anomalous cognition and physical feedback with psychokinesis. This basically entails creating a set up where you are able to sense a physical state accurately in which the subjective cues which tie into knowledge of this information is associated or anchored to a representation which consistently test true. An exhaustive framework is one in which at least one thing has to happen. If you set the mapping (that I mentioned in the above reply) as being exhaustive in which what is in it has to happen where it is the only thing that that can happen, it excludes other things on the outside of that domain. If you use veridical associations for doing PK and accurate and tested representations of physical states(it gives you a somewhat intuitive knowledge of the makeup of the objects involved where all the complex parts can be represented by an encompassing domain), you should be able to create a precise effect which repels what you want how you want it to.
Manifesting energy into something physical would be really useful--and worth the toil.
In my experience, it seems that people who attempt to apply energy working techniques to PK are not really successful in PK for whatever reason. I know a lot of energy workers. Very few of them are able to do PK consistently. Ironically, the people who I know who can consistently do PK are also telepaths who apply their abstract and conceptual thinking to psychokinetic practices.
I do not know why that is. Different things. Different skill sets. Different views. Different ways of thinking. There are many reasons why this might be the case, but I don't know of many energy workers who are able to consistently do psychokinesis. It is also worth noting that most of them have no interest in it, either.
