Is there a such thing as power levels when it comes to psi? If there is how would they be measured?

I think with psionic abilities, you can either do them and become better or you can't really. Power levels sounds like one of those pretend games.

Most serious practitioners don't think about power so much as developing their abilities to the best they can be really.

Any power or tendency to get complacent can hinder progress and limit you or put you back in your place if you get too casual about it since it takes hard work and slacking off merely lets you down in my opinion.

star's quite right - the learning curve is a vertical cliff - once you find it, then you climb it, and intently, or you will 'backslide' back to the bottom and have to start all over again developing your abilities - and each ledge you come to means another climb ahead

The closest thing would be psi-kappa and psi-gamma. Psi-kappa are perception based gifts such as empathy/telethapy. Psi-gamma are gifts such as psychokinesis. I have noticed that people generally get a spark and stay in the area for a while.

Certainly I think there is. The Soviet Psi research program selected individuals based on their Psi ability (and those were able to move objects and such). Don't know if they had any scale though.

I practice various forms of energy work.

Yes, there are differences in levels of power. I have raised more power on some days doing certain things than I have other days when I hadn't.

The best way to find your power level is if you take a cat, any cat will do (the bigger the better). And hold it's sphincter up to your ear: very close. Knock on the cat's head while thinking about a red fish and whistle three high notes (a high E note will do just fine). After that's all said and done you will hear a slight whisper from the cats bowels, you then must listen very carefully (don't forget the Red Fish).

The reason why this works is this: cats are both here and there. Their souls exist in their bowels (like most living things). For a cat to speak like we do is near impossible though this is a sure way to get them to. This is a very ancient and useful ritual so don't treat it with disrespect but please do post your progress.

Good luck,
Dancing' Coyote

The umbilical cord, necromancy (true version of the word), the manipura. I really don't know where the soul is on humans, I'd like to think that the body is a artistic representation of the soul. But it does exist on cats in the bowels because that's where they have the most room!

*stops laughing until she wheezes and wipes the tears from her eyes*

OMG, that's hilarious. If I tried that my arms would be sliced to ribbons. :/ My cats' souls are in their heads, I think. My cats speak to me, although it's miaows, headbutts, purring, and gentle pats to the face when I don't wake up to feed them. If I ignore them Jacob bites my feet, but all that gets him is kicked off the bed.

As for finding your psi level, I haven't the foggiest. Then again I don't really care about mine so long as whatever I'm aiming for gets done, and to me that's a better gauge of power than some arbitrary scale.

It is said that "the eyes are the windows to the soul."



If that is the case, does that not hold true for cats as well? Are we not focusing on the wrong end? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Lol!! Indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Body language counts for a lot. Most people don't know how to look or listen, unfortunately. All I can say is:
