CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Anyone else practice psionics?

Psionic skills are skills that are from the mind. As in Reiki healing, empathy, telepathy, etc. Reiki healing has been used in the Episcopal Church (my church) in the form of the "laying on of hands." I have had a very good experience practicing psionics, mainly because I became more of a Christian. Some people believe that psionics are evil, but I believe that they are just another type of skill. In other words, it's all about intention. Can you use your skills for evil? Sure, though I advise against it. I only use my psionic skills for good.

Laying on hands should be for the Holy Ghost to use, not yourself.

Exactly. Who are we then to do his work?
It should not be US whop heal. It should not be US who deliver the power. We are merely conduits for God to do that, if He so wills. Doing something like that in one's own power is something I would NOT do. EVER!

I wouldn't say psionics is inherently evil, just a load of bull.
But hey, if you can prove telekinesis is possible, then I'll be the first to jump on board.

Psionics is quite "New Age" though. I think I agree with Ginsu. Withouot too much knowlede about your church, what it sounds like for employing psionics is... Not good.

A fine definition of psionics, Graeme_W! I do not practice psionics, but I fully agree that it is a great skill that, like any other, can be used for good or ill depending on your intention. Just because something sounds 'new age', doesn't mean it has to be or is anything blasphemous or sacriligious. I hope you keep up your psionic study and practice, Graeme_W, and use it as tool for good.

Thank you very much for seeing things my way Welgaia.
The "church" that I spoke of earlier is the Episcopal church. Not my specific congregation.
Psionics is a set of skills, that like any other skill you could posess, is not inherently good or evil. It's the intention that counts.

Just like Voodun! You can use it for good or evil...it's the intention that counts.
No really, I was being sarcastic.
Holy Spirit is the only healer, not psionics. If I was you, I'd run far away from it as possible.

psionics is evil and not of god. I used to try this and believe me its not good. I believe that whilst i was doing this i enabled an actual demon to live in our house... a lot of weird stuff happened. Anyway i prayed to god, stop using psionics and then it went away, but it did pretty scary stuff.
Believe me anything to do with psionics or psyhcics is evil and shouldn't be practiced... especially by gods own people.
You will know if it is wrong or not because the holy spirit will tell you and you'll get a voice within you (kind of like a consiounce) telling you that it is wrong.
You'll be in my prayers... you must stop

You may have all the good intentions in the world but this sounds like something Satan can use to get his foot in the door so to speak. When that happens the little cochroach can then get his entire body in and the body is corrupted. Be careful!

I don't know about Psionics, but the laying on of hands was mentioned, and that is something that I very much believe in. It is not the hands of the one who lays them on somebody else, who are doing the healing though. It is God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) doing the healing.

Hello! I completely disagree with the idea that EVERYTHING that is considered to be of psionic/paranormal nature by most people is evil. It makes sense to me that such skills can be used by people because we are all, in a way of divine nature and made in God's own image. DO NOT fall into the trap of beleiving all the power is within yourself and you do everything by yourself. any skill or ability you have or learn is only possible by God - He gave people this gift and like anything else, the glory should go to Him.
Learnable skills, such as psychokinesis and telekenesis are, to some extent, supported by scientific research and experimentation. Consider that everything (solid or not) is made out of energy -- why would we not be able to manipulate energy around us if it is overlapping with our own energy?
I personally have never considered reiki to be of a psychic nature because it is involved with a person's own energy and based on the movement and restoration of biological energy pathways (as i understand it anyway). In this manner, Reiki is very similar to accupuncture and accupressure - which i'm sure nobody would deem 'evil' (all are proven, natural methods of healing..not some voodoo load of bull). is hypnosis evil? that can heal quite effectively as well, and it uses one's own mind to do so. what about white blood cells? (ok, that ones a little ridiculous.. but you get my point).
Reiki is entirely different from the 'laying of hands' technique in the Bible (although it does often involve touching them). It's a healing art based upon energy. A Biblical laying of hands is God directly working through a person. Consider an energy healing practitioner as a doctor. Is giving someone medicine evil because it's not relying upon God? Thank God for the medicine, Thank God for any natural energetic healing as well. if there is a reiki practitioner at that church, that is a wonderful thing! maybe the healer is asking God to help him with his abilities?
unless i'm mistaken, i beleive what he is discussing about psionics does not involve any odd instruments, devices, incantations, spiritual communication , spells or anything that is used in paganism or wicca (which i do beleive is evil). he is speaking of the manipulation of energy (aka chi, ki, psi -- whatever you want to call it, basically its just energy) around him.
some practices, such as deliberately leaving your body (although temporary and the body keeps doing what its doing, and some people have done it uninentionally under perfectly healthy circumstances), may be against God's will. I don't know for sure because it can be accidental - apparently it can happen while in a tranced state, just as the body is falling asleep). i have never done such a thing, nor do i intend to because i think it might be a sin to toy around with. i've also heard of it accidentally happening with people in deep meditation. (meditation -- the act of allowing the body and mind to relax and possibly concentrate on one or no subjects is not evil, regardless of whether or not it is assisted by a mantra (a phrase repeated/contemplated during the meditation to assist concentration)).
Please don't speak out of ignorance, deeming it evil without fully learning about the subject at hand. I am a Christian by the way.
think about this -- if you throw a baseball at a tree and it hits, did God do that or did you? if it misses the tree and hits a kid standing nearby, who did it? (likewise, who moved the energy during the healing?)
if you choose to develop psionic skills, use them in a way to glorify God.
Psionics is not necessarily "new age", although new age stuff does seem to claim alot of odd things. practicing a learned skill does not in any way mean someone is accepting a "new age" philosophy. new age seems more along the lines of a mix of hippie thought with buddhism or something... i honestly dont know a whole lot about it, nor am i interested to learn about it.
whether you admit it or not, you're psychic in some form of the definition. you can't change that - it's the way God made you. it's your choice to develop some of the skills if you like (but it does take practice, and the beleif that it can happen like anything else).
the faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain.
if anyone still beleives psionics is evil, i encourage you to look for a 'pk party' (psychokinesis) in your area to truly experience it. they're very fun and you get to bend silverware and do some other fun things with energy!
if you're curious about any science or physics behind psionics, you can probably find plenty of info on google (something like telekenesis+physics or psychokinesis+aura+science will probably bring results).
i usually don't share my thoughts with fellow christians unless asked, but i wanted to give my opinion in this thread.
i guess the only way to truly be on the cutting edge of science is to be called crazy
