Wow, it's been a long time since I posted anything! How's everybody been doing? Anyways, to get to the point here, last time I posted anything here was a couple months ago and then I kind of just got so busy with work and with my band that I just had less and less time to devote to psi. Well, after a while I started to feel like my connection with the ability I had was slipping, and soon it felt like it was gone for good. I couldn't do anything at all, not the slightest budge of a psiwheel, nothing. I kept trying for hours. Nothing. It was so disappointing, like a part of me was just gone forever. Anyways, I tried to just live my life as I always did, going to work, relaxing at home, watching movies, getting online, and tried to forget all about psi. But then last Friday something weird happened. I was lighting a candle in my kitchen with a match and when the match burnt out and all the smoke started rising, I felt this strange rush coming from deep down in my stomach, the kind of rush I used to feel whenever I would have a fairly successful psi test. So I reached my hand toward the match and started trying to manipulate the movement of the smoke. Sure enough, the column of smoke started pushing away from my hand, and I frantically started more tests. Anyways, now I feel that the ability I had has returned with slightly increased magnitude. I've had a little bit more success than usual with my tests and have done things that I didn't know I could do before.

I guess in general the replies and answers I'm looking for are to this: Why do you think it is that sometimes after many months or even years of no activity, abilities will inexplicably resurface at the strangest times. What do you think might cause something like this to happen?

Well, to be fair, mate, you were only gone for about two weeks; probably the best explanation is the one you gave: you got busy and a bit distracted, then went back to whatever it was you were doing before.

Whether that 'whatever it was you were doing before' was psi, is another question, but you'd probably hear from believers around here that patience is part of the key to making these abilities 'work'. A two-week hiatus during which you entirely gave up any hope isn't very patient!

Nice to see you back, at any rate.

Well, I don't think that they can just resurface without any practice. The point is that. You did practise.


My guess is that the practise you did at the time did not resurface any psychic ability. But the focus and practise gathered up the extra power you said you were practising. Therefore, the newfound strength.

Hmm, maybe that was it then. It felt like a lot longer than two weeks that i went without any practice or anything like that. Maybe it was just that I kept logging onto UM, because it felt like about a month or so. At any rate, it feels good to be able to practice it again and feel comfortable with it. For a while I just wasn't feelin' it, ya know? Like it didn't feel like I could still do it. But yeah, thanks Nucular, it's good to be back.
