I agree that the most efficient way to learn is immersion, but it's kind of difficult with the weird stuff. There's not much information on psionics and a lot of the available information is dubious.

I'm somewhat slow in coming up with my own methods, especially, when there's not much information available. There are also other things that have to be done instead of constant psionics practice (school or work, gym, hobby projects). I just iterate on practicing psionics when I get the chance.

It will probably take tens of years to become a pro when I'm doing it like this, but it's better than nothing. That's how I'm also learning programming ... more than 10 years that could've been compressed into a couple of years of immersion training.  Thinking about it makes me feel down. I hope I can use at least some of it in the next life so that it wouldn't be a complete waste.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be able to attend school nor go to work, if the only thing on my mind were psionics. I can't help but use something similar to multitasking and learn many things simultaneously although I lose in performance that way.

Sorry for the pessimistic whining. I'm just jealous.

Sorry about that. I guess I realized, what I had previously read about "ego taking revenge".

I somehow managed to suppress my beliefs for a second while attempting pk on my balcony door. Then, a couple of minutes later, my mood took a plunge and I couldn't see anything but my doubts and beliefs.

I still don't get the reason I was born, but I guess that work and practice should eventually bring me closer to the invisible goal.

Your reply was great. It reminded me how I used to think about doing things that would otherwise seem meaningless. It doesn't matter what you're doing. What truly matters is how you do it, that is, how dedicated you are to what you're doing. At least, that's the only reason that came into my mind for monks to build mandalas and then blow them into the river. In that sense, it shouldn't hurt even if I had to spend 20 lives in order to get the hang of psionics.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot that when you wish hard enough, someone might come and teach you. The downside would be a few sleepless nights because of the feeling of heavy pressure on your forehead. That's how I learned math and suddenly got a boost from the 3rd group to the 1st one. I can't say for sure, but I don't think I have been able to learn much about psionics this way (probably because it requires more practice).

I agree that there's no such thing as failure and also there's no giving up.

I have gotten this impression, because so far everything I have experienced, has had a meaning or there has been a need for it somewhere later in my life. I had a good moment of "failure" a few years ago and that's when I realized that it was actually a success. I got to know myself better. It increased my interest in psionics and yoga. Furthermore, this "failure" also served as a great motivation for further achievements on any fields like studying, programming, robotics and so on..

As for no giving up, I have noticed that whatever it was that I felt interest in when I was younger, I have come back to almost every one of these things. What is more, every time I like "give up", I come back after a shorter time period than before. Also, these interest "waves" are getting longer and longer with every such "giving up".

Oh, and I occasionally enjoy thanking the world for everything I have experienced. For me, it helps with keeping a distance from what other people think about me.
