Learning the Energetic Body Part 4 - Class Log

18:07 <@Forge> Welcome to the Fourth installment in my continued series on PsionicsOnline, Introduction to the energy body IV. I am your host, Forge, and your Co-Host Eniri will also be joining us.

18:07 <@Forge> First to note, if there are any questions relating to the class and its material, please stop us and ask.

18:08 <@Forge> We will be having a training session to practice overlays after the class, and Eniri will be hosting a training session practicing the previously covered material before moving on to overlays in #PsionicsOnline-Training for those who feel as if they need more practice on the previous classes.

18:08 <@Lutasi> yo why chakras be any sort of important?

18:08 <@Forge> wat

18:08 <@Forge> ... moving on...

18:09 <@Eniri> Questions are welcomed but keep them on-topic right now. I'll be happy to answer unrelated questions after the class

18:09 -!- Unknown011 [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:09 <@Forge> i would like to mention now this will be a class based on the energy model

18:09 -!- mode/#psionicsonline [+v Unknown011] by Eniri

18:09 <@Forge> and welcome back Unknown011, here for the class/

18:09 <@Forge> An overlay is a construct created for the purpose of changing the functionality of an energetic body, consciousness, or any form of system it is attached to. For a very basic example, a Chakra would be an overlay for the energetic system.

18:10 <@Forge> Overlays can vary widely based on their design, from as simple as a temporary energy center to as complex as drastically changing the functionality of an entire energy system.

18:10 <@Forge> This class will 4 cover examples of overlays, and leave the other possibilities of how far they can be taken up to the user.

18:10 <@Forge> cover 4*

18:11 <@Forge> #1  The first and one of the most basic overlays to create is a simple shielding overlay. The initial creation of the shield can be left up to the end user, but for the purpose of this class, I will use a very well known and basic tactic.

18:11 <@Forge> First you will draw energy from around your body and from your chakras, move it into your hands, and create a ball of energy. Let this ball expand around you, until it just barely encapsulates you. Visualize the outside of this ball as being rigid and letting nothing in, but letting energy out.

18:11 <+Unknown011> Hello!

18:11 <@Forge> The next step to creating this as an overlay would be creating a second ball of energy and link it to the first from inside of the bubble. This ball will fuel the bubble, and control it. Place this ball into your energetic system and “link” it with your meridians.

18:11 <@Forge> To link the construct to your meridians, you will program it to receive input from your meridians in at least one direction, and program it to send from at least one direction. This allows the natural flow of energy in the system to remain unhindered.

18:12 <@Forge>  First you will want to cut your meridian to attach your construct to it, one line for inbound energy and one for outbound energy, depending on the flow of the meridian. You can attach many meridians to a construct, but be sure not to overburden your system relocating meridians.

18:12 <@Lutasi> remember there be shit outside the stuff taught in class that's very fun to eperiment with and absolutely will not summon an elder go who will then consume the world

18:12 <@Forge> When you link it with your meridians, you will want to then program the ball to take energy from your system to fuel the shield, as well as take energy from around the shield itself as a source.

18:12 <@Eniri> (this is the first exercise so if you can follow and don't need to catch up with me later, do this now)

18:12 <@Lutasi> :P

18:12 -!- mib_nul9qc [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:12 <@Forge> Continue to program the ball to react to the amount of energy flowing through your system. The more energy flowing through your meridians to the ball, the stronger the shield. The less energy, the less potent the shield. This will help prevent exhaustion in the long term.

18:12 <@Forge> While this is not by any means the best method for shielding, it gives a very good grasp on how to create and use overlays.

18:13 <@Forge> okay, that was the longest example as it laid down the foundation for the rest of the examples

18:13 <@Forge> are there any questions?

18:13 <@Forge> if anything doesnt make sense to you, ask now

18:13 <+Qwacq> cut your meridian?

18:13 <+Unknown011> Sorry Forge just got back.

18:13 <+strongbad> can i just consistently make my own shield, instead of attaching it to my energy system

18:14 <@Eniri> strongbad the purpose of the exercise isn't to make a shield, but to make an overlay

18:14 <@Forge> strongbad yes you can, this is just an example of an overlay, and how to create and impliment it

18:14 <@Eniri> the shield is just a good example

18:14 <@Forge> an overlay does not have to be a shield, it just can be a shield

18:14 -!- mib_4g7r47 [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:14 <+Qwacq> Forge could you expand on "cutting your meridian?"

18:14 <@Forge> Eniri, would you mind explaining what a meridian is please?

18:14 <+strongbad> more examples of overlays, or are you getting to that?

18:15 <@Eniri> We'll get to more examples of overlays

18:15 <@Eniri> And Qwacq, Forge meant to cause a split

18:15 <+Qwacq> in other words direct the flow of energy elsewhere?

18:15 <@Eniri> so that the meridian will feed into the shield, but also continue flowing as it normally does

18:15 <+Qwacq> correct?

18:15 <@Eniri> so you don't mess up the overall flow, just redirect and use some of it

18:15 <+strongbad> like a river forking, one to a lake, the other to the ocean

18:16 <@Eniri> yes

18:16 <+Qwacq> strongbad that was a good analogy

18:16 <@Eniri> For anyone that missed the earlier classes

18:16 <+Qwacq> thank you Eniri

18:16 <@Eniri> a meridian is like a blood vessel

18:16 <@Forge> more like a dam. it keeps going in one direction, but there is something in the way

18:16 <@Eniri> there are meridians that run over the body and energy flows along them

18:17 <+Unknown011> I understand Eniri.

18:17 <@Forge> that dam is your overlay, which produces its effect, or in the case of a dam, produces electricity, before the water keeps flowing

18:18 <@Forge> any more questions?

18:18 <+strongbad> yea, let me type it up

18:19 <+strongbad> does it matter where I attach it? like, using the shield analogy, and chakras, if I attach my shield to say the solar plexus, will the effect/strength differ from a shield attached to the crown?

18:20 <+supremelurker> For the sake of reference, here is a picture of the meridian system and the chakra system, with the exception of the crown chakra. http://www.rickrichards.com/chakras/chakra_man1.jpg

18:20 <@Eniri> It shouldn't, strongbad. The only thing I can think of happening that would cause a change in the strength of the shield would be if one of your chakras was underactive

18:20 <+strongbad> ok cool

18:20 <@Eniri> Again the purpose of this exercise isn't to make a good shield, as there are other ways, but it's to practice making an overlay

18:21 <+strongbad> ok, i'm ready for the next part

18:21 <@Forge> #2  Another use for an overlay would be an internal energy store. Create a construct in your body that is hollow on the inside, and connect it to your meridian system. You will want to program this construct to hold energy, make it more dense, and cleanse the energy it brings into itself.

18:22 <@Eniri> If anyone would like me to examine their overlay and system for them, don't hesitate to ask

18:22 <@Forge> While in meditation, focus on your energy store, and visualize energy flowing into it. Over time, it will build up into a large energy center in your energetic system, when can be tapped into when extra energy is needed.

18:23 <@Forge> you would use the previously discussed methods to attach and operate the overlay with the energy system

18:23 <@Forge> any questions on this before i move on?

18:23 < SeekTheLimitless-ICTX> No Dr Hack&Slash!

18:23 <+strongbad> nope

18:24 <@Forge> Another form of overlay that doesn’t directly have to do with energy manipulation is a conscious to subconscious overlay. These can be created in many different ways, even with energy work, but their focus is on subconsciously manipulating your conscious reality in some way.

18:24 <@Forge> as an example for the next two overlays, i used helping someone to astral project as the goal of the overlay

18:25 <@Forge> #3  one easy way of doing this would be focusing on a mantra while in meditation that holds meaning to you, and focus on that aspect becoming a part of you. One popular example is for Astral Projection. While meditating, focus on the phrase “I will Astral Project in my sleep”, and visualize that saying as an object, and that object becoming a part of who you

18:25 <@Forge> are

18:26 <@Forge> any questions on subconscious to conscious suggestion?

18:26 <+Scanner19> i think so one second

18:26 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> I have a question regarding the earlier thing with the meridians

18:26 <+Scanner19> could you give another example of a conscious to subconscious overlay?

18:26 <@Forge> i have one more example after this one, and its using energy manipulation

18:27 <+Scanner19> ok cool

18:27 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> I'm not quite caught up because I said "I'm in a class on psionics, please don't talk to me right now" and so naturally my friend starts rambling at me

18:27 -!- Foresight[Mem] [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:27 <@Forge> what question do you have, Zephyr_Cloudrunner?

18:27 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> so I tried making a shiled like you said and tried connecting it to a meridian, and I think I did it wrong, but I did it how it felt most natural

18:28 -!- Neeros-ICTX [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:28 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> but then my chest started feeling really hot and I had to breathe really deep until I collapsed the shield and let it flow without it again

18:29 <+supremelurker> are you energetically connected to anything external?

18:29 <@Forge> welcome Neeros-ICTX

18:29 < Neeros-ICTX> heyya

18:29 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> not that I'm aware of

18:29 <@Lutasi> Hey Neeros!

18:29 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> maybe one of my drones, but I can't really stop that

18:29 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> she's kinda reliant on it

18:30 < Foresight[Mem]> Drones?

18:30 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> not going into that right now, since there's a class

18:30 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> after though

18:30 < Foresight[Mem]> Aw

18:30 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> just remind me

18:30 <@Forge> it seems like to me you didnt allow energy to flow out of your overlay and it built up without an outlet

18:31 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> I did notice that mistake pretty quick, but even after I corrected that it remained an issue

18:31 -!- mib_nul9qc [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]

18:32 <@Forge> flow energy out of the overlay and try again. the buildup probably didnt correct itself

18:32 < SeekTheLimitless-ICTX> Zephyr; That's what one would expect when you literally link a construct directly to your meridian without system adjustments. Try to feel out your energy body and find a pathway that's not as 'deep' as a true meridian

18:32 < Neeros-ICTX> From a TCM/QiGong perspective that would indeed be incredibly dangerous... lol

18:32 <+strongbad> try doing the energy store overlay, and connecting your shield to it? like a buffer.

18:33 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> I think I might need a lot of practice with this

18:33 -!- Blaize [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:33 <@Forge> any more questions?

18:34 <+strongbad> is it possible to make a healing overlay?

18:34 < Blaize> Yes. Did I miss the whole thing?

18:34 <@Lutasi> what do you do about energy systems that seem to not match the system put forth?

18:34 <+supremelurker> it's still going on Blaize

18:34 <@Forge> strongbad yes, the next example will be somewhat similar to that if adapted

18:34 <@Forge> and Blaize, pretty much most of it, but it will be covered again

18:34 < Blaize> ok.

18:34 < Neeros-ICTX> What internal organs are you rerouting chi from?

18:34 <+strongbad> ok

18:34 <@Forge> Lutasi: fix it

18:35 <@Eniri> There will also be an article that you can read to catch up, Blaize

18:35 <@Lutasi> so you're saying that everything that doesn't fit your system is wrong?

18:35 < SeekTheLimitless-ICTX> Oh, so if your system isn't standard it must be broken. This is prejudice against unconventional energy systems! Just because someone has less chakras does not make them less a man!

18:35 <@Forge> Lutasi, no, i am saying if you have a system that is unhealthy to fix it.

18:35 <@Lutasi> I didn't say unhealthy

18:36 <@Forge> SeekTheLimitless-ICTX stop trolling

18:36 <@Lutasi> I just said not mathing the chakra system

18:36 <+strongbad> i lold

18:36 < SeekTheLimitless-ICTX> I'm not trolling. I'm having a healthy response to an unhealthy context

18:36 <@Forge> Lutasi then wing it. the class is taught from a 7 chakra perspective, this was noted during the first class. if your system is different, we can discuss it after class, but until that point, we will be focusing on 7 chakra system

18:37 <@Lutasi> a healthy and slightly humorous response

18:37 -!- Unknown011_ [[email protected]] has joined #psionicsonline

18:37 <@Lutasi> cool

18:37 <@Lutasi> so a fundamental asumtion is that most people have a 7 chakra energy system?

18:37 <@Forge> no, it is that this class is taught from that perspective.

18:38 < Foresight[Mem]> Was the reason why an artificial energy body converges into a fully functional, programmed body without additional explicit programming ever touched?

18:38 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> Hey Forge, how would one tell if their energy system isn't the y chakra standard?

18:38 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> *7

18:38 < Neeros-ICTX> When you use meridians as a power source, which organ are you rerouting vital life force from?

18:38 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> not y

18:38 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> word

18:38 <@Eniri> I think that's a fair assumption for the sake of the class, Lutasi, but an overlay can be adapted to any energetic system

18:39 <@Forge> we are going to skip any questions regarding the number of chakras in relation to this class. it is off topic and can be discussed after class.

18:39 <+strongbad> neeros, i've been using the solar plexus/stomach

18:39 <@Forge> Neeros-ICTX: we are not routing vital life forces from anywhere. that is from a different belief structure that this class is not taught under.

18:40 < Neeros-ICTX> Chi runs through meridians though, no?

18:40 <@Forge> Neeros-ICTX, that is the end of the discussion.

18:41 <@Forge> any relevant questions?

18:42 <@Forge> #4  An energetic form of subconscious to conscious manipulation would be creating a construct that takes in energy from the meridians on one side and pushes it out on the other. While the energy is inside of the construct, it will reprogram the energy to carry the will of the change with it.

18:42 <+Zephyr_Cloudrunner> to clarify, my question was directed to be asked later, right?

18:42 <@Forge> yes

18:42 <@Forge> For example, the energy will come in the construct, reprogram the energy to have the intent to help the practitioner to Astrally Project while in their sleep, and exit the other side with its programmed intent.

18:42 <@Forge> To achieve this, you will program the construct to pass on the intent of “helping to Astral Project while asleep” to the inbound energy before passing it through the other side of the construct.

18:44 <@Forge> any questions?
