Wayfarer: @here hello, Internet

Azum’ran: Hello real life

shadowsword: Hello, sensei

Turbo: :waving dog gif:

Six Stellar: ^3((9

Unicornzilla: waves

shadowsword: Chi ignition.

Wayfarer: I got about, idk, an hour? Something like that before this battery croaks. Earlier we had a question about ~cuUuUuUrSesSs~~~ which are very spooky and etc.

Wayfarer: And then we also had a question about folk magic solutions for the same, and how those might work.

shadowsword: spooki

Kate Embers: Hello

Wayfarer: I mentioned before this is not going to be super scientific. That’s because the adults are out of town for the holidays so we’re gonna do magic instead of CIA documents this time.

Chirotractor: beurocrazy is a sort of magic.

Wayfarer: That’s not to say it’s all made up nonsense, it’s just not something we do a lot of science on and I imagine CIA bosses feel goofy funding like, “gee I wonder if the Black Pullet works”

Wayfarer: So, let’s start with… curses??????????

Targeting in Remote Viewing

Instructor: Rainsong
Date: December 14, 2019 (Saturday)

Seminar: Topic: “There are targets for remote viewing. Targets? Links? How does it work? How to stick the image to the target?” (suggested by Nagan) — Saturday, 14 December, 2019 at 6:30pm/1830hr New York Time — text format in the PSC #lecture room (Discord) — Instructor: Rainsong — Search LECTURE108

Rainsong: Good evening, everyone. 🙂

Rainsong: Welcome to another psionics seminar here at the social club

Rainsong: As usual, we’ll be discussing real-world psionics.

Rainsong: Our topic for the evening is targeting in remote viewing

Rainsong: Or, as Nagan phrased it, “There are targets for remote viewing. Targets? Links? How does it work? How to stick the image to the target?”

Rainsong: Thanks to Nagan for suggesting tonight’s topic 🙂

Unicornzilla: ^^

Rainsong: Any questions or comments before we dive into tonight’s topic?

Remote Viewing

Instructor: Rainsong
Date: December 7, 2019 (Saturday)

Seminar: Topic: Remote Viewing, yep, more of it (because I feel like it) — Saturday, 7 December, 2019 at 6:30pm/1830hr New York Time — text format in the PSC #lecture room (Discord) — Instructor: Rainsong — Search LECTURE105

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Rainsong: Welcome to another psionics seminar here at the social club

Rainsong: Our intended topic for the evening is remote viewing, adding onto our knowledge

Rainsong: In terms of friendly definitions, by “remote viewing”, I mean the use of any of several formal protocols for military-style psychic espionage

Rainsong: Any comments or questions? Indeed, is anyone up for tonight’s seminar?

Mulberry: I’m up for it. I don’t want to take your time if I’m the only one though.

Rainsong: Cool. Are you at all familiar with military RV? Generally it makes more sense to gear the details to the audience, after all.

Mulberry: I haven’t had any real materials, I just know of it and how it was used in WWII. The people involved do interviews and books about it now and then

Mulberry: As a qigong healer, they also teach you do do remote healing, which is sort of similar, but focuses on a person not thier surroundings

Rainsong: That’s entirely fair. Would you like an introductory class on it, or would you prefer a different topic?

Mulberry: I’m inclined to carry on regardless. I’m an occultists, unless the terminology is very different I think I’ll manage, and I can say if I’m wrong about that

Wayfarer: Terminology likely to be very different but you can map them along. The military and military contractors are big on sanitizing things to impress important people who wear suits to work.

Mulberry: THat makes sense

Rainsong: The terminology for the type we’re discussing can get weird, mostly because it’s a military discpline with political implications in its country of origin (United States of America… Other countries also use much the same technology, with various sets of terms that may or may not seem logical at the time)

Psionics & Ceremonial Magic: How They Can Feed Into Each Other

Instructor: Rainsong & Wayfarer
Date: November 30, 2019 (Saturday)

Seminar: Topic: Psionics and Ceremonial Magic: How they can feed into each other (discussion seminar, suggested by Azum’ran) — Saturday, 30 November, 2019 at 6:30pm/1830hr New York Time — text format in the PSC #lecture room (Discord) — Instructor: Rainsong, probably — Search LECTURE104

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

Rainsong: Welcome to another seminar here at the social club

Rainsong: Our topic for the evening is how psionics and ceremonial magic can feed into each other

Rainsong: As I’m sure you know, there are people who practice both. (I am not one of them, however, and my knowledge of ceremonial magic is relatively weak)

Rainsong: Therefore, I’m not going to be giving a lecture on the topic. That would be stupid. And we try not to be stupid here

Rainsong: Instead, we’re going the “moderated discussion” route with this… as long as there are enough interested people.

Rainsong: If not, we’ll have a class on a different topic, and bump this to a different day

Rainsong: Any questions?

Wayfarer: lmao seems pretty well uh understood there I guess

Wayfarer: I guess I should first ask parameters of the discussion because “ceremonial magic” is actually a very particularly niche thing but it’s often used more broadly to refer to just general sorcery or anything involving ritual at all.

How to Research, an Introduction

Instructor: Rainsong
Date: November 23, 2019 (Saturday)

Seminar: Topic: How to Research, an introduction (suggested by Chiro) — Saturday, 23 November, 2019 at 6:30pm/1830hr New York Time — text format in the PSC #lecture room (Discord) — Instructor: Rainsong, probably — Search LECTURE103

Rainsong: Also, tucking this in here from earlier today, because Whisp had some excellent, concise advice for research for essay-writing purposes:

Chirotractor Today at 1:57 AM yeah no it’s just the research and quotes I need to find like it doesn’t even actually matter what I write it on it’s more of a ‘can you do this form’

Whisp Today at 1:58 AM topic covered well on the internet? ahhh are you persuading, questioning or informing?

Chirotractor Today at 1:59 AM synthesis so a bit of a mix of persuading and informing

Whisp Today at 1:59 AM I like it in that case, you can always fall back on historical reference that which has gone before, illustrates your case but remember, only two examples, then state bias, defend bias Go to wikipedia, type in topic. Dont quote wiki. Go into bibliography, retrieve sources . for persuasion, you need two sources to agree, and one neutral. cite them. 1. your premise 2. back it up 3. your conclusion voila, essay

TehOldeSourcerer: I might be able to check in a few times, have a wedding to attend today so might not be able to participate

Nevyn: Anything’s better than a wedding? :sweatsmile:

Chirotractor: will be aroundish still essaying

Rainsong: Best wishes for good health and prosperity to the couple and their guests 🙂

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

Rainsong: Welcome to another seminar here at the social club

Rainsong: As usual, we’re discussing real-life skills here, but tonight’s topic is not specific to psionics, per se

Rainsong: Chiro had the clever idea of suggesting basic research and essay-writing.

Rainsong: As you can see above, Whisp offered some advice already.

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

Rainsong: Welcome to another psionics seminar here at the social club

Rainsong: Our topic tonight is ‘remote viewing’

Rainsong: The planned part of it would be Stages V and VI, but that is subject to change based on who (if anyone) is here

Rainsong: Any questions, commentary, or the like?

Chirotractor: o/

Meridian: None from me

Rainsong: Hi, Chiro

Rainsong: Hi, Meridian

Meridian: Hi Rainsong

Rainsong: Last time we looked at Stage V was about a year and a half ago. Of course, there’s a large amount of data available on the ‘net

Rainsong: Would you prefer I start with a review of it, or with a Q&A?

Meridian: I’m not that familiar with stage V or what a stage is in this context – would love a review.

Rainsong: (I’m more or less aware of Chiro’s level of knowledge, but not of Meridian’s… and no point in discussing fine details, when there are broad strokes missing)

Rainsong: Sure thing. A review it is

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Rainsong: Welcome to another seminar here at the social club.

Rainsong: As usual, our topic for the evening refers to real-world psionics. So, if somehow you’ve mistaken the place for a gaming room, you have fair warning that things might get a bit weird.

Rainsong: Our topic for the evening is military history.

Rainsong: Specifically the part of American military history regarding remote perturbation in the US Army’s Project Grill Flame

Rainsong: “Remote perturbation” is their fancy way of saying psychokinesis.

Rainsong: You’ve likely heard of Grill Flame as one of the ‘eras’ of the Remote Viewing program. It also investigated other ‘novel’ technologies.
