Shadows Options

i was on another forum about psi and i heard a person say something about umbra kinesis, they said that umbra kinesis would allow a person to manipulate shadows. from what i know you can't actually manipulate shadows because shadows don't have any substance but if you created a way that could bend or repel light you could turn an area around anything as black as night.

i was wondering if anyone here could help me out and explain to me or recommend a book that would help me.

Thanks,
night

Ill start by stating the obvious which is that I personaly never tried this. ^^;

Other then that, I have heard quite a bit of the subject from a friend. Apparently in their "house" he and the other psy vamps that work with magick do menifest some sort of control over this matter. Also a few rumors, which yeah.. are not very reliable. :S

Anyhow, I dont know the deteils but I do have a theory of my own. If you ignore the rules of the phisical world(which are rarely relevant when it comes to energy and the spiritual side behind things) I was thinking that shadows are the extension of various phisical things in our reality. If your shadow is an extension of yourself, then you are bound to have some sort of control over it. Im not exactly sure yet what sort of extension, though everything phisical has a metaphisical system working behind it. A shadow is not a living being(as far as I know) and does not posses a complicated energetic system as thus(just my conclusion yet again). Which means that other then fullfiling a few phisical condition in which shadow can menifest itself more freely(like night time, where light does not disturb the movement of the shade and it can be aywhere regardless of the low ammount of light) you can control the shade by finding that extension that connects you to it energeticaly and with your will animate it and move it.

Just a theory of course. It was never something I wanted to do and never really intrested me personaly as something I wanted to achieve, though I am curious about knowing the mechanics of about anything energetical and how to work it. Even if just as a valid theory of sorts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)

About the "phisical" side of things. In my practice, personaly, if I considered how the phisical works every time I tried to menifest something in reality I would start building heavy mechinary instead of using energy on the energetic systems behind everything that builds what we see and interact with. Just my opinion of course.

It is called psychokinesis. The ability to affect matter with the mind is called psychokinesis. As such, such terms such as "umbrakinesis", are unnecessary and irrelevant. It is pretty simple. The is a connection between mind and matter. Due to this, the mind can interact with and influence matter. A photon is a piece of matter. That is it.
