I don't hang around here much. I sort of do want to be of some help, but not hanging around doesn't help, does it?

One thing I learned from OECs is that arguing is pointless. Simply talking rarely convinces one that an ability is or is not real - I doubt it ever makes anyone stop practicing something (or try to) because others say it's improbable. Honestly, I don't think that trying to have the widest range of opinions and pages will help, unless it is made clear that more than one opinion is viable. Going for a more skeptical approach, in my opinion, won't help either - there still will be conflicts about what is presumed to be possible, what is presumed not to be possible, things which highly depend on one's standard of common sense, personal experience, psionic knowledge etc.

I accept that opinions differ. I also accept that the great majority of people here wouldn't agree with my understanding of psionics/magic(k)/energy work.

The one thing I want to be emphasized is that the important bit is whether it works or not. It doesn't matter how you think it does, or why you think it does, because those explanations are (generally speaking) impossible to prove. Instead, I want people to put effort on getting results - it doesn't matter if people believe that's not how energy works, or not how spirits work, or there are no ethereal pancakes that determine one's luck; what matters is that it works.

I hope you don't mind that I wrote this here, Adfeng. I want to try and make people see that they shouldn't go against your way of being, or way of seeing psionics. It's always been each to their own.

Talk to you on skype, mate. Hope everything will turn out for the best! :D
