1. Q: What is psionics?
A: Psionics in our school of thought is the use of a specific type of "psychic" energy associated with the nervous system to do work--it includes most of the abilities generally considered psychic abilities (such as telling the future, or moving objects with the mind, as well as some that most people haven't heard of. Psionics (as we define it) does not include the use of energies taken from external sources.
2. Q: What is a psion?
A: A psion is a person who uses psionic abilities--in other words, a psychic who uses only energy from within themselves or from other persons to make their abilities work.
3. Q: What kind of energy is this?
A: Psi energy seems to have electromagnetic properties, and it seems to be associated with nervous system function. In other words, more energy is produced with greater activity in the nervous system. While we do not know for certain what type of energy psi energy is, we can make some inferences based on these observations. There are several theories out there which are compatable with our practices and our observations. Those will be outlined in a file on psionics theories attached to the Guild main page.
4. Q: Can anyone learn psionics, or is the ability inborn?
A: Nearly anyone can learn psionics, although there are a few people who do not seem to be able to. There are those who are
born with ability, and some born with the instincts to use it as well.
It remains to be seen whether such people have an advantage in learning
psionics, because childhood trauma can cause them to block their
abilities. Certainly, however, such people tend to be most interested in psionics.
5. Q: What other types of energies are there, aside from psi, where do they come from, and how do I tell them apart?
A: Different types of energies have a different "feel" to them--with practice, you can perceive these differences. Click here for a description of energy types and where they originate: Energy Types
6. Q: Why should I learn psionics?
A: If the abilities are inborn in you, you may want to learn to use them in order to defend yourself against other psis who may not be friendly, and against spirit entities. You may need to learn to control them so that they do not interfere with your life in a negative fashion...particularly if you have abilities such as emotion or thought sensing. And most of all, if you have them inborn, you may pass them on to your children. If you do not understand them, and understand how to use and teach them, how can you help your children to deal with them? They may not have the same abilities you do, and theirs may be stronger or weaker. They may need to learn to control them in order to avoid psychological problems, or worse. If the abilities are not inborn within you, you may want to learn them simply because this is an entirely new spectrum of possibility for you--an advantage you can gain fairly, and possibly a way to aid yourself and others which was not open to you before.
7. Q: I read that you should always use your left hand to receive, and your right hand to project. Why don't you mention this?
A: All that handedness is, is which of your hands has a stronger connection to certain areas of your brain. You can manipulate objects better with your dominant hand, whether that is your right or left hand--you can also manipulate psi better with that hand, and in our experience that includes both receiving and projecting. Ideally, you should learn to use both hands, not only one. And of course ambidextrous folks have no such innate bias.
8. Q: I heard that anything you do psychically comes back to you three times, and that if you do anything for yourself or to harm others, it either won't work or it will backfire. How come you don't mention this?
A: This is actually a religious belief, and the Guild is a non-religious organization. While some members do have a belief in karma or "the threefold law", others do not. We do not consider them "universal laws", therefore we do not make mention of them. Individual morality and ethics is strictly up to the individual--we require only that members follow the Guild code of conduct.
9. Q: What the heck do all these weird words mean?
A: For a glossary of terms, click here.
10. Q: Can I join the Guild?
A: The Psion Guild is offering preliminary memberships on the php version of the website. This membership at present allows you to choose to list yourself on a networking page, but you are not obligated to do so. In the future, many other services will become available to members only.
11. Q: Can you prove it to me?
A: Not yet. Our best advice is that if you really have an interest in this, try developing your own abilities. You'll be able to correlate your experiences with those of others, and gain enough validation for yourself, in time. Objective proof, however, is not yet within our reach. Most psis have no patience with people who demand that they demonstrate their abilities.
12. Q: Haven't you guys been working on this for an awfully long time, now?
A: Yep, we sure have--but progress continues to be made, and this site is updated fairly often. We feel that it's best to be sure that we have everything completely ready before accepting members, however long that may take. Since we continue to progress, even after several years, it will not be forever.
13. Q: I'm already a member of a group. Wouldn't joining the Guild represent a conflict of interests?
A: Unless some part of the code of conduct or rules of your organization directly conflict with the Psion Guild's code of conduct, there is no conflict of interests if you wish the join the Guild. In fact, have your entire organization join the Guild, if they want. Our focus is on providing services and aid to psis. What other goals our members may have, how they organize themselves in other ways, and what else they do is entirely up to them. We are more like a co-op or a union than anything else, and we welcome all of you, individuals and groups alike.
