What does anyone think of the possibility of cognitive enhancement though psi? I've come up with a few ideas, the simplest one is precog-based and is basically a network of constructs wich take as input any thought one has, precognitively follow it to it's path of conclusion and then present to ones mind the final result of that path of hought. Another is to basically creayte a map of the universe via a 'mahgicall complete' symbology set like the Sephira or the planets and then use it as a 'second brain' after giving it a large series of subject-routing routines. The third diea i've had is basiclaly the simple 'second brain' idea in wich one creates an avanced-computer like construct and hooks it up to ones systems. Thoughyts ont hese and further ideas, and anyone willing to maybe do a joint work on these sometime? It might be insteresting and it seems possibvly the best way to become 'more than human'via these things wich is a goal of mine.

It definitely sounds interesting, and something I'd be happy to look into jointly. The first idea may well work, but feels a bit... obtuse? Too high on the radar sort of thing, for me anyway. I'm not exactly clear on the second idea, so before I say more I'll have to ask you about it. The third is what I'd be most willing to work on, and likely the one I'd be most able to help with.

Something I've found is that I can push my awareness forward in time a bit, be it along only my path, or another, or many. There seem to be drawbacks and plusses to each; for example one can push the awareness down a single path, but the further it goes without any reference, the less accurate it will be. On the flipside, one can span their awareness over many paths (not just your own, but those that may interact with yours) to get more accurate information as you are taking into account more.

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Same boat as Draco... except I've not had much success pushing my consciousness into the future, and even if I had, I wouldn't see the immediate relevance.

About a half a year ago My perceptions were broadshifted from past to presant, it was about 2.5seconds either way but it gave me enough of a heads up on events around me to seriously jump my reaction time. I stopped using it though, no particular reason other than I had many other things to concentrate on at the time, and I've been concidering reaquiring that state.

But then I've had short bursts of dejavu since I was very little so for me it was simply connecting with that and expanding upon it, I'm not certin how you would do it otherwise. Ive knoticed though if you connect with your psychic sense your physical senses highten along with it, though I have yet to put that into practice over a long durration.

On an odd side note when dejavu lasts for 5 min. streight it can be very dissorienting, particularly if it seems to show everything simoltaniously. Almost threw up a few times.

The second idea is basically sourced in the concept of an entire universe within, and extending this... so one would have <dual processing< of a totally complete view of reality, wich would hopefully give double the resolution of ones singular <microcosm< and thus allow accessed knowledge based on extrapolation of this double universe within... very much a 'hermetic mage on acid' type of idea one must admit but... *sighs*

The process required to comprehend the whole of reality (or what I perceive it to need to be) makes my head spin. It's not something I've really considered before, but given significant advancement in offsite process capability... Hmm. I'm going to have to put that down on my To Do list.
Anyone made any progress or attempts in this line?
I've done a bit of work with the energetic basis of the psyche, but I'm not sure what other people have come up with in that area. Admittedly, it hasn't been to the ends of furthering my own process so much as hindering others, so I'm kind of curious...

I've done some work with TP/energy networks, and have because of that needed some extra processing (Acting as "admin" to a large energy net isn't exactly fun or easy). I left most of it to my inner, but as far as I can tell they look a lot like computers, so it's not really an extension of mind so much as constructs/tech to get all the busy/work done... Did manage some with something more to them, but not sure how it works, or why not all of the "helpers" are that way (true extra brains).
