This is gotten from here.
This seminar was a basic
introduction to the practical use and
annulment of both containment and non-containment seals in psionic
practices. There was a practical component to the seminar. Questions
were welcome during the seminar.
There was a practice session, not which
lasted around 2 hours. That part of
this has been ommitted both by request and to clean this up.
Today's seminar will be concerned
with Seals. First let?s define what a
seal is, in the context of this seminar. Seals are constructs that in
some way inhibit a person or other entity, either from influencing
beyond a certain distance from themselves (like an inverted shield), or
by reducing or stopping their ability to do energy work.
Seals are generally used for a
non-confrontational alternative to
combat. Some seals are temporary, others are less temporary, none last
forever (though some have the potential to last beyond a natural
lifetime). I?ll take the time to note now that this definition is not
the full scope of all 'seals' that exist in energy work, however the
definition is sufficient for psionics.
A construct could inhibit someones
neurological function, though that's
rather advanced. It's outside the scope of most psions' ability. One
needs to be adept at psionics to make a good seal, and only to make a
good seal, a very simple seal requires little skill. As also this seal
could make someone indecisive, like neutral but, confused. However,
that would be more along the lines of empathic suggestion. As, they
could become disconnected if you will, when separated from their source
of thought and ability. But mostly that's a different sort of seal. One
that works on cutting off drive, rahter than ability and causing
depression is roughly equivalent. Which is really just another way of
looking at empathic suggestions.
For example, the person feels
disconnected from all their abilities as
though their energy/shields feels like a flickering flame. They can see
it but they can't utilize it and it's like a video is being played back
instead of it actually being there.
Depression can be like that, but to
think what this means is separating
consciousness from the energy body, like a neuro inhibiter blocks
control of the body without stopping consciousness. That is just a
stage (or several) past what the advanced seals we will discuss are.
So some seals are like a shield in
a way. And yes, a seal could be used
to contain someone's aura within themselves. As if you were to block
the energy input of a person during sleep that could be potentially
dangerous. As they would wake up feeling drained like they were up all
night. It could be dangerous, but 'dangerous' is a relative term...
walking down the street can be dangerous. I'd say it's no worse than
going to bed with a clogged nose. Less quality of sleep, but it was
still sleep.
The simplest seal to make or
absolve is an inverted shield. As you
might have guessed, these variants on shields keep things inside a
given area, rather than outside them. The most effective simple
inverted shield is a mirror shield, which will bounce back basic
attempts to bypass or cause damage.
Other effective inverted shields
are varied, most that would be
effective for combat are fine (a notable exception is a marshmallow
shield which seems to be rather easy to push apart from the inside,
unless reinforced) are effective in a simple seal role.
Creating an inverted shield is
relatively simple, just program them to
keep in rather than keeping out, keeping the rest the same. Another
note on this type of seal is that their effectiveness varies wildly.
If you can't make a formidable
shield quickly your incomplete inverted
shield can be tossed aside before completion. Some psions and other
energy workers also have various tricks, ranging from thinking in four
(or more) dimensional space, to viewing themselves and the shield on
different frequencies, preventing interaction between the two. Both
tricks are somewhat advanced, and there are assuredly many more. It's
worth noting that these and other containment seals can be used to
reduce an area of impact. A (very, very thick) inverted mirror shield
can contain a psi-nukes blast area, to neutralize a very specific
target, or collection of targets.
Basically, what stops the forming
of energy outside of the shield, and
just directing it to gather into a clump. The shield itself, as it
blocks outward thoughts. Most of the time the shield itself will block
outward thoughts, if it was well thought out. It's not as easy as it may seem,
but that is a viable point, that's a flaw with inverted shields.
If one were to project their
awareness outside of this shield. It's
always possible to bypass any barrier, even a well thought out and well
made one. Again, its not as easy as it sounds, but possible. If you
manage to do that you outclass the creator of the seal. Outclassing
someone is just that. If you're more skilled and more able, you will
probably come out on top anyway. All psi is connected by distance to
the user's aura. The user could possibly direct their will outside of
the seal. But again, that's possible but not an easily accomplished
task. You could also will the seal to break.
You can cloak someone with a seal
so he can't be scanned an found. As,
what happens to constructs owned by the target that are outside of the
seal when it is activated, is the fact that they would decay if not
well made. And that depends on many factors. A well made construct
doesn't decay on its own, and one with fairly intricate programming may
try to break the seal from the outside, by directed thought.
The shape of the seal does have
significance. For example you could
make one shaped like a small black hole centered in the target's chest
area, that sucks in all energy around them. As shape isn't as relevant
as programming, but if you'll read my article on designing constructs,
I go over how the shape (such as encasing someone in a perfect sphere)
might improve how much their subconscious accepts the effects of the
seal, improving the longevity and effectiveness.
Shape plays a role, but the
functional programming is more important.
Depending on the shape, if you program it to a specific well known, it
could be increased potency, because of the mass belief in that symbol.
Sure, that's not untrue, but it's a bit hit-or-miss. It's mostly your
belief and those of the target that are relevant in seals, the rest of
the world, not so much.
You could make a filter in your
shield that would allow you to attack
while containing them. But that's not really relevant to this
discussion. As is on the part about the construct, if you where to send
a construct in a couple days before they got sealed, when they did get
sealed you could reprogram it to burst out, even if it needed more
energy from outside, or the attempts would be blocked by the seal.
A person can be sealed more then
once simultaneously, for different
purposes. Or those seals that don't mix would combat each other and
weaken each other. As you can use multiple kinds of seals on a person,
hopefully you'll use your brain and not simultaneously use seals that
don't mix. If I make a seal, I make sure that one does the trick for
all needs. That's a good point, but having multiple kinds of seals can
be helpful, especially in overwhelming a target. That is true, as a few
slightly weaker ones are sometimes better than one strong one.
Sometimes depending on the kinda seals as to many may weaken others.
In addition to inverted shields
there are containment seals which would
never work as shields that are only meant for use as seals. My favorite
instance of such a seal is a projection seal. In this case you have a
construct hooked up to a relatively unlimited power supply (for
instance a ley-line) which in turn 'projects' patterned energy in a
spherical container around the target. The beauty is that the
containment seal need be no more than paper thick, as it will always be
instantly, perfectly replenished, and there's no programming in the
active seal, there is nothing for the target to impact, disable or
attack.
With the right patterns in the
projected energy (the best would be
reactive patterning) it can be quite impossible for a novice or
intermediate energy worker to damage the projector and escape, this is
even more true if you heavily shield the projector. Other seal-specific
designs include pain-reactive seals, seals that hurt, numb, or
otherwise impair the target whenever there is an attempt to work energy
or escape the seal. I won't cover these in any detail, but suffice to
say these are best broken by someone other than the target, and
preferably someone skilled enough to do so without using brute force.
On the *patterned energy* shield,
you got me curious. The pattering on
the seal would be considered ineffective programming. As programming
implies that something is to be done, a pattern just indicates that
it's not raw energy, it's held together and interacts with all sorts of
programming, in this case the rapid cycling would make that programming
useless.
You can use conceptual programming
for reactive patternizing of the
energy. Also how you set up a ley-line to a relatively unlimited power
supply, is to set the seal up to the ley-line. That way it has a
relatively unlimited power supply. Conceptual programming works, sure.
Some may have trouble finding ley-lines, so then use the sun.
It's a big ball of nuclear energy.
The sun is still there. If everyone in the world drained the sun it
would'nt run out.
Remember that distance doesn't
necessarily limit energy, and psi
doesn't travel in straight lines. So I would try to link the construct
via conceptual visualization to the sun and feel it drawing energy from
it into the construct. Feel free also to use anything else, as a
different star, or even the moon.
You can make a seal 'field' that
blocks the use of any effect you
wanted and then use it to seal off areas like a dampening field. Making
a seal cover an area instead of just around someone. A field where no
psi can be used. Or if the field mentioned isn't really a seal to you,
there's a field where anyone that enters the area becomes sealed and if
they leave the area the seal is removed. Or, the seal even follows them
out of the area under certain cases.
That's similar to a 'stasis field'
from the sounds of it. This isn't a
stasis field, it's more like a program where you're a stick in the
ambient energy of an area, possible, but there's no name for it. You
can do that, and it's useful for protecting an area or something, but
it's uncommon. As seals can be used to limit energy usage, skills, etc.
There is a way to *know* if you
have been sealed. It's usually pretty
obvious that you've been sealed. It's possible to become deluded into
thinking everything is normal (great seals intend that), but it's
unusual. Usually but not always you'll be able to tell if you go to
scan, or if you go to do something inhibited by the seal.
It's possible to lace a seal with
enough delusions to provide quote on
quote "normal" feedback. It could be to disillusion you as being okay.
But that's a little more complicated. Theres a thought that seals were
meant to keep something in, or to block ability, or block perceptions,
etc.
There are seals that do not concern
themselves with containment of the
target. These seals are often hard to detect and harder to remove.
Usually they target parts of the energy body (sometimes all of it) in
such a way as to inhibit them from functioning normally or at all.
These seals come in a number of
designs, from things similar to
inverted shields around chakras, to dozens of tiny 'parasite'
constructs circulating themselves through the target's systems, to
constructs that directly inhibit the target's control over and
production of energy targeting the brain, heart, etc. I won't get into too much
specificity in these seal, largely because they vary so much from case
to case.
That sounds dangerous, so you might
have thought these weren't for
combat. Well, they can be, I think they're best used to prevent combat
though. They can be seals that are naturally forming, as in astral
parasites. They could be, but I've not encountered it. It's not real
common at all. The person would probably subconsciously make it. Not
common at all, but if you're looking for trouble they're used as a
common defence in some places. But that's not "natural" as, that's
right, we have a natural defense system. Where, the more complex a
construct the less likely it is to appear.
A psionic immune system. And with
immune systems, of that sort, they
usually have to be built. They're pretty hard to make. Well I guess so,
but I think they can be both constructed and naturally brought about.
But it doesn't come with a person's birth, or I've not seen that, it's
developed.
Someone could subconsciously create
a seal around themselves if they
are a very closed minded individual. They could end up blaming others
for it, too. As in a seal that would prevent them from seeing ghosts.
But usually they don't, they just develope 'mental blocks'. But mental
blocks are much much more common. And those sometimes can be harder to
break. Where seals can be created from fear, and there are seals that
block people from certain things like memory as well.
The commonly used tactics to
prevent seals being put on yourself, are
to make a shield to prevent it. Or wear a protecting stone. With said
containment seals, it'd be easy enough to just walk "through" them.
Maybe for a phoenix, with a lot of bulk to do the walking, but with
normal
people it cycles quickly enough to equate a "solid" wall. But, Its just
a matter of moving fast enough. This is one of the few seals you can't
easily phase through, as the frequencies change incessantly.
You could alter reality around you
to get out of the shield, and you
could do pretty much anything. Its usually safer do energy work outside
and ground by thinking of a grounding effect. Sure, and tactilly feel
up a tether to the sun, or visually percieve a link forming, whatever.
Alright, now let's cover the
destruction (or annulment) of seals. J
Inverted shields are the easiest to unmake or destroy because they're
the easiest to target and by far have the most vulnerabilities. Let's
take inverted mirror shields as an example. True, it reflects back any
energy you throw at it, but it's a very simple construct. If any of you
have read Beneath the Construct by Lesenthe you should recall that he
begins with the example of when he first directly viewed programming
A certain prankster dropped an
inverted mirror shield on him and he
switched his view to perceive the programming itself. He proceeded to
rip out the programming leaving just a lump of shield-shaped energy.
This isn't a terribly advanced methodology, but it is unusual for
people to think of it.
It also requires decent sensitivity
in perception of energy, and an
ability to trance lightly, quickly helps a great deal. There are of
course many alternative methods to break down inverted shields. The
most obvious is brute force. Raising a little Kundalini will leave
little evidence there was ever a seal in place at all.
"Attacks" aimed at the seal will
often eventually lead to a break down.
Expanding your field a great deal will overwhelm most containment
seals. If you have a psi-pet of any sort available you can often force
down containment seals by smashing it between the two of you, creating
a thin spot to force your way through.
On the skillful side of energy
work, you can create an equal but
exactly opposite construct and overlap it with the seal. The list goes
on and on. Feel free to get creative.
Of course, keep in mind that some
containment seals are smarter than to
be overwhelmed just by an attack or expanding your field. Of course,
every rule has a lot of exceptions.
As you can create a mirror shield,
simply by visualizing a mirror over
ones self. There are good articles on shielding at Psipog (And
everywhere else).
You could break a seal that will
protect itself as in drawing from an
outside energy source that can't be destroyed faster than it is
regenerated. Without using an outside ally, by destroying the
programming. Or with an ally, by getting someone outside. As the best
thing there to is to do is get help.
It is better to try to poke a hole
with your energy, or to overwhelm
the entire shield. Although, it depends on the seal and your paradigm.
As, if you feel any break can allow your complete escape, just bore a
hole, but most are too attached to being a certain size to do that.
That depends entirely on the seal, in my opinion. Some seals require
just a quick jolt. Some require a long sustained blast all around.
If the programming is also restored
using the same method as the energy
is restored, reprogram it. As a paradigm can cause this effect, it is a
set of beliefs that make up your view of reality. To actually 'destroy'
the programming, Lesenthe's article "Beneath the construct" has a
useful anecdote to that end. Look for it at
Http://miripsion.googlepages.com/home. Sometimes, the person making
the seal forgets to make sure that others can't alter the programming.
You might be able to alter it.
I'd get into a trance state and use
real time sight to see the
construct and then think of a way to counter its effects based on how
it is made. Although I'd suggest entering a very light trance, or
partially projecting to 'view' the seal's programming directly, then
just destroy it. Lesenthe used the analogy of 'lines' of light as the
programming in the construct.
Or add in a little something to the
programming to allow you to
deactivate it. If you're a nerd, you could create a custom programming
language similar to java or c++ but for seals so no one can understand
it. Might work. As there is merit to that, which allows easy countering
of all constructs. It might sounds like a good idea, but you don't
always know how it will turn out.
Non-containment seals are much
harder to discuss in this way, as they
are so non-standard. My general advice is to understand what a seal is
doing, if not how, and put together things that counter that effect,
and remove them; this may or may not require help from someone else.
Another option is to, as with
escaping containment seals, force a
significant difference in frequencies between you and the seal, then
extricate yourself from its area of effect (a clever bastard will make
this impossible, or exceedingly difficult, but it's worth a shot).
Maybe make a seal-destroying
construct before you're actually sealed
and leave it in waiting outside the seal. Use some rarely used
frequency as a contact link between the construct and an alarm
construct near your aura to detect when the seal is placed on you, bam.
