Power Level increasing...

[Tom]

That's because energy comes and goes in cycles. Often, the stronger you feel the energy to be the weaker it actually is. There are no power levels.

"Often, the stronger you feel the energy to be the weaker it actually is". nanda? that's not the case with me. that's odd, tom. hm... wonder what other people think.

but yeah, i agree that there are no EXACT power levels. can only compare how good you are to other people.

If there is an area where energy is blocked, it can accumulate there and feel like a lot of power or strength. It is better to have the energy feel like it is flowing easily. I read it in some chi kung books. It has also been consistent with my experience.

Great piece of wisdom there Tom. It also says so in NEW Energy Ways, which I think you should check out, Jon. Try to stay away from sites that teach you Ki in particular. Wait until you get better with understanding and using energy to really tell the BS sites from the good ones.

And again, there are no such thing as power levels. You can compare yourself to how good you are to someone else, but there is truly no way of measuring it, in numbers or otherwise.

You sound young and naive and decieved by unsupported lies from the internet (IMO). These supposed techniques you claim to have performed. Ki Balls, Ki Shields? It's a load of garbage. Your terminology is obviously reminiscent of Dragon Ball Z.

What I suggest you do is read up on some REAL Eastern philosophy that way you can have a firm understanding of the theory behind energy work (and what it is). The spiritual body is fragile and weak, but can be developed. I have never seen a recorded case, or even a commonly-sighted case of people with so little spiritual development being able to pull off amazing abilities and techniques. So what is to say that you can?

The closest to this I have seen has been a Chi Master being able to light things on fire, and from what I understand, it took him many years, even decades, to achieve such power. Then there are those that are naturally gifted (i.e. having the ability to telekinetically bend spoons).

Hmm while I agree with research, I am not so sure with the Eastern theories. Although you seem quite interested in the study of Ki in particular, I think that adapting to Eastern terminology might make you quite a bit confused. A good introduction to it is a martial arts that teaches it, for example, the more traditional practices of Karate and Aikido.

As for techniques, there is very rarely a case where somebody with very little development has pulled off so much as make a shield. Although you CAN make a construct that CAN be capable of shielding you, it is more practical to develop your weak and fragile "immature" energy body before you set out on the supernatural "powers."

Energy and spiritual development is a thing of balance and peace. It is not a thing of super powers, techniques, and simplicity. Much study must be done, and it will be many years before you accomplish things like lighting things on fire.

But of course, don't let this put you down. With guides like today's Astral Dynamics things like OBE become the ultimate stepping stone rather than the ultimate goal. All the skills related to OBE can be greatly applied to other energetic practices, and many people who move on from it to practice telekinesis have a bit of an easier time using the skills they learnt from OBE.

There are no powerlevels, they would be impossible to measure because you would have to take into account intensity, abilities, and control of them.  

My advice to you is that you only worry about yourself and not a powerlevel.  In fact, don't even worry, just set reasonable goals and meet them.

[Tom]

There are times when I wish it could be possible to objectively measure energy, find blockages in chakras, and then use the information to make improvements. Energy levels would be just as good a way of phrasing it as amps and volts are for electricity. Blockages in chakras and channels would be nicely expressed in ohms. I think there are even devices for measuring magnetic fields, and don't these have frequencies? Then we could objectively talk about raising or rate of vibration and increasing our power levels. If there is a God, I want to know where to officially present my ideas and ask that they be carried out.
