Seminar: Topic: Radionics, primarily targeting – Saturday, 20 July, 2019 at 6:30pm/1830hr New York Time — text format in the PSC #lecture room (Discord) — Instructor: Rainsong — Search LECTURE85

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to another psionics seminar here at the social club
This evening, we’ll be discussing radionics, mostly targeting and figuring out rates.
We are, however, assuming you know what radionics is
(i.e., using tools for psionics, especially the electrical-looking black-box contraption-y things)

Rainsong: Are there any questions to start with?

Chirotractor: Nope!

Rainsong: Hmm. This could be pretty short, then

Jael: Are there any basic guidelines for targeting with radionics? I imagine it’s different than pendling? Or other types of influencing-of-things?

Rainsong: Targeting for radionics is both easier and more complicated than other aspects of psionics, in my opinion.

Rainsong: The intention needs to be fairly focused, because wildly broad objectives tend to end badly

Rainsong: But at the same time, you can use separate things to represent parts of the intention, by the simple expedient of stuffing more than one card or test-tube or envelope in the well.

Rainsong: Let’s take an example, which may make more sense…

Rainsong: Are there any requests for a topic tonight?

Rare peypey: hello, present

Rainsong: hihi

Rare peypey: if there’s no pre planned topics, could you clarify a few things on suggestion from last week? we tried the chess thing but ran into some issues

Rainsong: Sure, we can do a follow-up on that

Rare peypey: hello, present

meltdown-enby: i mean i’m reading it now but

Rainsong: Hi there. Interested in tonight’s seminar? If so, we’ll be discussing those articles as part of it. No need to read them first (but you can if you want to)

Rare peypey: yeah this seems cool. shall we go through them one by one or did you have something else in mind?

Rainsong: I have something else in mind.

Rainsong: Welcome to this evening’s psionics seminar here at the social club. 🙂

Rainsong: You two are both familiar with the concept of real-world psionics, so I don’t need the usual disclaimers.

Rainsong: Our topic for the evening is Visualization. How to do it, and some of the reasons why you’d want to.

Rainsong: Some of those reasons are useful even to folks who don’t do any kind of energy work at all, and I’ve attached some links above, because I’m always asked for them, every time these topics are discussed.

Rainsong: We’ll start with a friendly definition: Visualization is the act of actively imagining something

Rainsong: In the sense we’re using it here, it may involve more than just visual imaginings, and can include sounds, feelings, tactiles sensations, and so on

Rainsong: Questions so far?

Rose StellarToday at 7:50 AM
is there a lecture subject yet? because if not, i’d like to suggest one
CloversToday at 7:54 AM
What’s the suggestion?
Rose StellarToday at 7:56 AM
proper measures during psychokinesis practice. Things like foods to stock up on, what to avoid, what’s encouraged (what you should do), and any things that can enhance practice and practice sessions.. I’m not sure if it’s a good subject to cover? Since things have been said on it already. But perhaps a full lecture dedicated to it, could prove fruitful?
CloversToday at 7:56 AM
Meh
Grand Elder DemoToday at 11:05 AM
Itd indeed be fruitful since the first thing mentioned would probably be orange juice
Rose StellarToday at 11:06 AM
lol
Rose StellarToday at 1:47 PM
psychokinesis has such a distinct feel to it..
RainsongToday at 5:07 PM
Any specific questions about that? In general terms, at least, that’s all been covered in previous classes
Rose StellarToday at 5:24 PM
i suppose not, then. Well, perhaps, a more extensive list of foods that are useful for replenishing yourself after PK would be nice, but that doesn’t need a whole lecture
RainsongToday at 5:44 PM
https://www.webmd.com/diet/foods-rich-in-potassium#1 WebMD Which Foods are Rich in Potassium? You can help to keep your blood-pressure levels healthy by eating potassium-rich foods. Find out what foods contain potassium and how much you need to eat daily.
RainsongToday at 5:51 PM
The site claims low-fat a nd no-fat milk are better than regular milk and creams, but the accuracy of the claim depends on what you’re doing. For right after PK practice? 2% – 4% milkfat’s probably best. Enough to get some nutrition in you but not enough to slow down digestion https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/nutrition/if-nfs-choosing-high-potassium-foods.pdf https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/hlbc/files/healthyeating/pdf/high-potassium.pdf Of course, this assumes that you don’t have a health condition that requires you to restrict potassium intake (i.e., mostly kidney diseases) A hit of sugar is also good. Actual sugar/honey/molasses/agave… none of this non-caloric sweetener garbage Then, after fifteen or twenty minutes, a snack with protein, such as a sandwich of peanut butter or cheese or some kind of meat
Rose StellarToday at 6:04 PM
thank you!

Chirotractor: and that’s all folks!

Chirotractor: good lecture!

Rainsong:
Rose StellarToday at 6:38 PM
so.. when i practiced PK and got dizzy (and eventually a burning kind of feeling in a part of my brain which was an even stronger sign i needed to stop..) i ate a bunch of sugary foods, and it seemed to help a little bit, but not that much. Is that because i left potassium out? and is there anything else than sugar and potassium that can help?
RainsongToday at 6:41 PM
There are probably individual variations in this beyond the usual warnings about diabetes and kidney failure. The main thing to remember about potassium is that the ratio of potassium to sodium is more important than the actual quantity involved. Generally speaking, for most people, you want more potassium than sodium (certain medical conditions aside) More important is to stop practicing PK when it starts to cause symptoms indicating that all is not well The exception to this is if you are attempting something important enough to you that you are willing to die for it Because death is in fact a very possible consequence
Rose StellarToday at 6:43 PM
i know.. it’s very tempting to continue practicing even when the warning signs start hitting. PK is very exciting for me. today, i practiced until it started to make me dizzy, then i stopped. Took a break for like 10 minutes, tried again, it hurt my head. Took an hour long break (give or take), tried again, still hurt. Then i decided to stop for the day.. it’s kind of like this “one more go” effect videogames have. But self control is important. Perhaps i pushed it a bit too far today in my trying to get a feel for my own signs of it being too much but i’m still alive.. and now i know even better when to stop, and to not continue practicing a few hours after, but wait longer than that (and replenish nutrients)
RainsongToday at 6:47 PM
Dizziness is one of the common signs. Heart palpitations another. Tightness of the skin around the fingers is another possibility

Rainsong: @Chirotractor LOL It seemed like it would make more sense to include what’s already been said, rather than re-hashing it. That way clarifying questions can come more easily to hand.

Rainsong: Yea, but I’m tucking the party thing in here, too……
ChirotractorToday at 7:10 PM
should do a pk party sometime
RainsongToday at 7:11 PM
Hmmm. That could be fun
Rose StellarToday at 7:12 PM
yes please! not tonight though, already did plenty of pk practice today
RainsongToday at 7:14 PM
Nah, they take preparation anyway For example, getting some soaked seeds, or some appropriate silverware

Rainsong: Could set up the Geiger counter, too

Rose Cinderfall: (i’m waiting for the starting signal)

Rainsong: Not seeing any objections to starting a few minutes, early….

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to this evening”s seminar here at the social club
We’re looking at PK again tonight, as you can see from the pasted conversation above.
Goign for a Q&A session.

Rainsong: Are there any questions?

Rose Cinderfall: I had follow-up questions to the earlier answers, but i’d like to give others a chance too if they have any questions

Rose Cinderfall: …if anyone else is present

Rainsong: They commented in the past few minutes, so probably here. Not concerned.

Rainsong: What’s your first follow-up question? 🙂

Rose Cinderfall: How do you know how long to refrain from doing PK after the warning signs have hit?

Whisp: what is lecture topic?

Rainsong: Use of PK in combat

Desolus: wooo!

Rainsong: Warning: tonight’s topic is controversial

Desolus: best kind

Whisp: combat, physical or psi?

Rainsong: Primarily physical

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to another psionics seminar here at the social club
We’re taking on a controversial topic this evening
“The use of psychokinesis in combat”
Whisp asked, a moment ago, whether psi or physical combat was meant…
Of course, if you’re using pk in it, the combat is at least partially psionic.
But we’re not talking about sparring in the practice annex here.
It might be a harmless game of paintball or a similar combat sport
Or you might be in the unfortunate position of needing to use it for real against actual, serious opponents in wartime (civil or otherwise)

Nevyn: I love talking about …! :sweatsmile:

Chirotractor: lets do something absurdly arcane and jargonistic

Rainsong: Such as?

Rainsong: Paradigms and Mindstates are in the proverbial queue, but I’m not teaching either tonight.

Chirotractor: well the thing about jargon is that if you know it it just seems like precise language

Rainsong: Chinook Jargon’s pretty cool

Rainsong: It’s a trade pidgin

Rainsong: “Naika mamook Bostonman wawa” = You speak with a strange/amusing accent / You talk funny (Literally: You speak in the manner of an American)

Chirotractor: Heh

Chirotractor: a bostonian even

Rainsong: Indeed

Whisp: scientific vs. spiritual approach to psionics?

Rainsong: Hmm. Interesting topic. Not one I’m well-suited to teach.

Whisp: all have opinions though, should do the dtrick

Whisp: questions arise quite easily

Rainsong: If you folks are in favour of a “moderated discussion” type of seminar on the topic, sure

Fadyn: How about an analysis of someone that waffles between them so much it makes them actually lose progress?

Whisp: I like it

Whisp: immediately brings about a question actually: How to tell when the influence of one begins impeding the othr?

Rainsong: Topic: Practical Uses for Constructs

Rainsong: Thanks to Whisp for the suggestion

Chirotractor: ships
new name
it shall be done!

Rainsong: Hi, Chiro

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

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

Rainsong: Our topic for the evening is “Practical Uses for Constructs”

Rainsong: Surprisingly enough, there are some.

Rainsong: Any questions or commentary before we dive into the discussion?

Rainsong: Apparently not.

Rainsong: Aside from the standard children’s toys and shielding, constructs can actually have practical uses in everyday life.

Rainsong: Actually, the “children’s toys” thing can in itself be a practical use. Ever been stranded at the airport with delayed flights or weather problems… or worse, stuck on the tarmac… and there are bored kids?

Rainsong: Getting them to make “pretend beach balls” can save everyone’s sanity…

Rainsong: Of course, force-bubbles have pretty obvious uses:

Rainsong: Most of you have heard about the car crash situation, where I tossed one around my car before going into the side of a hill

Rainsong: I wouldn’t recommend depending on them entirely – there isn’t much in this world that works 100% of the time – but it’s worth a shot

Raggiedmon: Ello

Rainsong: Hi, Chiro 🙂

Rainsong: Hi, Raggied

Rainsong: Any request for a topic or should I open to a random page in my handy dandy book of psionic cool stuff?

Chirotractor: I’d like to see what the random page is

Chirotractor: but I got a friend who was interested in radionics yesterday

Chirotractor: so imma see if they want to come

Rainsong: Sure.

Chirotractor: Rad!

Chirotractor: Probably shoulda mentioned something earlier though XP

Raggiedmon: for some lecture in the future it would be cool to go over strange, rare, and little known lore

Rainsong: Sure thing.

Tash Rikil: hi

Rainsong: Hi there, and welcome. I gather you’re the friend Chiro mentioned?

Tash Rikil: i am. nice to meet you

Rainsong: Nice to meet you, too.

Rainsong: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the weekly psionics seminar here at the social club

Chirotractor: Find it funny y’all never met before since you been around vaguely similar circles for ages

Rainsong: It looks like our topic for the evening is a look at radionics

Tash Rikil: hmm thank you

Rainsong: We’ll start with a Friendly Definition, to make sure we’ll all on the same proverbial page, for the purposes of discussion

Rainsong: (Because, as you may have noticed, there’s sometimes a wee tiny bit of disagreement on terminology in this field of study)

Rainsong: Radionics is the use of tools in the production of psionic effects

Rainsong: For old-school purists, that’s a circular definition, because “psionics” was originally a subset of “radionics” but has since been used more loosely
