I came across this board via youtube and have been pleasantly suprised by the community it has. Very free with it's information and there doesn't seem to be an overabundance of a-holes lurking to dump everybody's Cheerios.
Issues... I can do pk. I've done it. I've seen myself do it. Even though I've got a craptastic camera, I even made a video (4:30-ish, it gets interesting). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lilBgAyZZk
Okay, so this is the best I've ever done. It was a nice one for me, since I usually manage things in the 1/8th inch range. Normally, I use a tactical, forceful approach, which gets me the 1/8th. That's all fine and good for proving it can be done to myself, but that's as far as I can go at the moment.
This posted video was my best. Another time, I came close to this. These were done in different ways than the tactical and it obviously has a greater effect, although I'm not nearly as consistent with it.
Because my conscious mind gets in the way. I can't seem to park it once I can see that things are moving. I can't seem to do anything with my eyes closed, yet with them open, I can see the movement, which jolts my conscious mind to the forefront, which shuts things down.
I've read about using the shadow to move it to get around this, but that doesn't seem to work well for me. It may in the future when I'm much better, but I must have eye contact at this stage of it.
I've tried meditation in the past and I ended up modifying it by listening to music (trance mostly), which calms me down and allows me to go inside myself to get centered. I only need to do this for a few minutes, as I have a history of calming practices.
So, that's the barrier. My mind gets in the way. I have a strange suspicion that only practice will take care of this (and that's fine), but any info to cut down the learning curve regarding this is mot welcome.
Also, I've read about constructs on other sites and see them mentioned here all over the place, especially for the static field experiments. I could find a single instructive article about them. Has no one written anything. I've read articles on other sites, with their slants to them, but am really interested in this group's take (individually of course) not on how to make them, but on how to effective use them, control them, put them to bed at night, change their diapers...
Hey I just fixed the link to your video. I want to think some more about some of the things you have said. I can relate to the music method. I just want to think some more on the questions.

A construct is basically an imaginary friend that you believe in so much that it becomes real. You can make it any shape, give it any texture, make it hot or cold, make it push or pull but you must really know that it is there and that you have crafted it out of your thoughts.
All things are energy and are not "things" but are all one singular event tied together/entangled. Thoughts, like all other existence, are made of energy and because thoughts are energy and are tied in/entangled with all existence they can manipulate energy when willed to do so.
To control them you can use visualization/imagination and willpower to decide it should behave a certain way.
I am thinking there is a subtle but at the same time great difference between imagining something happening and making something happen, take for instance your finger. You can stare at your finger and imagine it moving, you can verbally tell your finger to move and think as hard as you can for it to move until your brain heats up and you get a head ache, but it is only when you decide to really move it that it moves.
You can't tell someone how to move their finger, you say "just move it" there is no way to put into words how to move your finger, and I think similar is true with psychokinesis. It is a "muscle" that one must just use, or not use. Visualization just helps trigger that ability, but it is not visualization in itself that moves it, just as visualizing your finger moving will not move it.
Everyone is different and get it in their own way. I have done about as well as you have in the video, except one time I managed to knock the foil off of the needle by trying to lift it instead of twist it.
I keep bouncing between skeptic and believer ;) but ultimately I am pretty sure it is real because I have seen it for myself.
Your post made sense. Even as I practice now, I can tell there's a "difference" when it moves and when it doesn't.
I try to move different things, too. Like ping-pong balls, inverted psiwheels of aluminum (when it's not too drafty), and rolling things. Normally, I feel like they're on the verge of moving, that there's just one little thing holding it back, and I don't ahve the oomph to get it over it. For those who've taken chemistry, I kind asee it as trying to get the "activation energy" to make the reaction happen. I think I need to focus more on the interconnected energy concept and start utilizing it in some way.
I find imagining myself being successful in my pk while driving home or throughout the day translates to big successes when training. There are a few psions I have networked with that believe as I do that the mind must become in a state of altered awareness. I totally agree with Davethewave everyone is different and get it in their own way. A construct becomes as the old masters repeat throughout history an act of faith or something you believe so much that it happens an "imaginary friend" as Dave so eloquently puts it but so much more you create reality with pk it is that pure expression of the ability inherent in all humans to literaly create reality.
Wow, thanks for the insight. I'm working on my construct forming and trying to refine the directing of it, which is where I need it most.
I'm also flirting with using brainwave generator software to help give my conscious mind a backseat of sorts. I'll keep you guys informed. Specifically, I want to see how well it works concerning moving onto different items. There's an initially "learning curve" of sorts associated with moving onto new items that I want to see if it helps with.
