10 years, huh?... I bet i would be 10 or even more times better at PK then.

From where I stand now if I could accomplish small feats of influence over objects that had more friction than a Psi Wheel I will be very happy. Also breaking into more complex types of movement as in sliding or rolling not just spinning things would be really nice. I don't know if in ten years I would be able to slide say...a butter knife across a table but I would like to be at that level in a decade. I wonder how the 10,000 hour rule plays out with something of this nature. If anyone has read the book Outliners they will know what I am talking about. Three hours of deliberate practice a day for ten years makes 10,000 hours of practice and is about the time it takes to reach the top of the top in more physical skills in life such as playing an instrument or the like. Of coarse there are probably several variables that prevent one from reaching a level of mastery in TK in such a short time but it does make me wonder what would be possible in ten years with daily practice.
TK/PK, seems the same to me as training every other skill I've developed successfully. It has followed all the same pattern of progress, with the exception that you have to have a stronger will with PK. The reasons for this, are that societies general ridicule of it, means that you can't rely on as much encouragement, & may receive active pressure to stop training. Also, there are no standardized schools to study PK, so everyone has to be a pioneer. However, it's important to remember that this is the way everything cool developed; we did not always have music theory, & perspective drawing as they exist today for instance.
I can definitely say that I have improved a lot since I started training, but I too would like to master sliding things. It comes in spurts so far; sometimes I can do it, but no consistancy yet. Though, when I'm outdoors, I can slide things easily by using the higher air volume as leverage:)

im hoping that some where some time soon we can all create a group of friends or students and teachers and learn these skills. i personaly find it difficult because there is no foundation except in the last 10 years. i also find it diffcicult with out a mentor merly because of my learning disabilitys.
but in ten years if i keep practicing like i have been i hope to be able to lift and move small objects atleast the size of bricks at will with out large amount of focus that is needed just to spin a psi wheel.

Moving a brick would be quite a feat. I can't imagine what it would take to do something like that but I will try to keep an open mind. I am years away from attempting to make something lift but I have a theory of practice that might aid in getting the hang of it (untested theory mind you). I was thinking about how each time you try a new type of movement that you are not familiar with it takes some time to be accustomed to it. I am still getting the hang of spinning things but say we categorize the different types of moment possible on an object.
Spinning and rotating are the same thing as far as I am concerned. Then there is sliding an object which would encompass any direction of movement so long as it is in constant contact with some surface. The next would be rolling which would account for spheres, wheels, and any cylinder shape laying on its side. There is another classification of movement I don't know how to put a name to that would be a manipulation of something on the object itself such as opening or closing a hinge say a door or the ear piece on a pair of glasses.
I was thinking it might be easy to take a light weight object that moves on a hinge and get the hang of opening it and then slowly moving the object so that gravity is more and more of a factor until you can lift it open. The hing would help as I think it would be a focus point and after that you could try lifting an object from a surface without a hinge as you would be generating upward force.
Again this might be a bit far out there but it was just a theory I was thinking about when it comes time for me to start trying to lift things.
@BlissfulOasis: You can do it in weeks or even faster . It's cool what we can do without thinking about it. When we then realize it's supposed to be difficult, that's when we usually find it hard.
For different kind of movements, I find it helpful to visualize it (or do it manually) at first. This way the feeling of it moving becomes more solid and it's easier to keep focused on the feeling.

Honestly I try to see myself doing every "paranormal" feat in 10 years. If I were to say I want to do this or that specifically, I would only be setting limits on myself. A majority of those involved in psionics would say "I want to do this or that in 10 years" but I wouldn't say that. By saying such things, you are telling your mind that you are not already there. I would say "I am doing this or that right now!" That way your thought is not lacking. You're already there. You are in the Now!
