It is likely not BURN OUT when experiences are at a low

I have Psi experiences going back more than 50 years now, many of them sporadic, many more induced, controlled, or directed.

One of the major things I noted many years ago was what I often see here on the forum, being referred to as "burn out" or other terminology, where you were on a roll and having projections, controlling dreams, PK, success with RV, or any of the other Psi subjects, and suddenly you are struggling with what you could do last week.

From my own perspective, my own opinion on this, there is no "burn out" per se, with the exception of Psi that uses forms of internal energy related to internal energy storage. IMHO some PK is in this category, as are many forms of healing.

To me, there is very obviously a complicated and massive filter, lock, and block system in place, likely as was highlighted by the recent proposal that the frontal lobes are acting as Psi filters.
I see that there have been skeptical comments, yet we know from many other experiments that the frontal lobes, and the ego, are a hurdle to just about every type of Psi phenomena. Altered states have become a common ingredient necessary in just about every successful Psi experience with veridical evidence.

Everyone has psychic... thread

From my own experiences, it isn't just the frontal lobe, there are many different systems in place that filter, lock, and block people into this time and space, and this format of consciousness. Alone the results some people get after brain damage, and from alternate brain neural networks, which shows these systems clearly, from Savant Syndrome to more permanent Psi abilities.

Another amazing and important aspect is that these locks, blocks, and filters are interactive and moving goal posts. The more you jump the block, the more this system will adjust to do what it was designed to do. The more we drag our ego and intent into other formats of awareness, where it is a visitor and foreign, the more locks, blocks and filters will be activated.

At first this felt like I was fighting some kind of foreign entity and the favorite thing for it to do was to distract me. 
Then this entity got personal and would stir up emotional content that was very distracting, or memories, or regrets, or mistakes. These blows can get very personal.
I see a lot of mental health issues that are likely related to filter, lock, or block systems stepping up to keep people from goals.

As time went on, and I continued with practices, more and more distractions like monsters would appear, or strange landscapes, or other rude interruptions that would block me, or literally blow me out of the environment, where I would black out or just wake up, come out of a trance, etc.

The next stage was to literally throw physical problems into the mix. A few visits to the ER later, the conclusion from medical professionals is that there is no physical cause for your chest pains, or breathing issues, or muscles locking into paralysis.
So, these systems are a very interesting area of Psi phenomena that appears to be largely ignored.

At some point I realized that it is not foreign, or an external entity, but these internal inherent filter systems are likely part of our DNA.

I considered the possibility that these filter systems are by design, and had to think of the Anunnaki creating humans by combining their own DNA, and figuring out a way to block the talents this alien DNA supplies, and would then pass on to their creations. They likely didn't want humans to have them or use them, unless they unlock them for tasks like telepathic communication from orbit, or to enable them to levitate large stones for mining gold. And on and on... but that knowledge doesn't help us to bypass these filters, or to shut them down when we want. Perhaps some day in the future we will figure out the filter, lock and block DNA and edit it?

One of the more obvious things I noticed is that when people use drugs, or dive down rabbit holes, the experiences are not really useful for Psi development, but these activities tend to suck people in and lock them into this mindset where they can no longer think freely, or observe the obvious. Critical thinking is shut down, while they think they are thinking outside the box, or having special experiences, when they are actually just boxed in and blocked from actual or meaningful use of Psi. Religion is one of these interesting areas of established dogma, where it is very rare if anyone ever achieves anything the religion promises, yet they are all stuck repeating the same dogma, and trying to spread it like a disease into the minds of others.

NOTE: While writing this, the smoke/carbon monoxide detector started chirping. I checked the batteries, dusted it out, and it was still chirping. I opened a window and aired out, still chirping. Changed batteries, still chirping. Coincidence? Likely, but it is fun to put it in a rabbit hole Synchronicity scenario.

Over time I realized that I (my ego) is infringing on already existing formats of awareness, like I am the demon trying to possess these other aspects of my awareness. I'm (my ego) the invading problem, and these parts have every right to defend their existence and independence.

I have had multiple experiences showing that I'm not in charge of particular things, and that these other aspects of my existence are perfectly capable and in charge within the zone they operate in.

I started meditating using a spotlight of awareness. The spotlight decides who is in charge and switches away from the waking mind and the ego, and it is what stores and retrieves the memories of the experiences, and sometimes shares them with my ego when it returns. The ego stays in the physical and in this linear time format. That means my personality, my desires, my intent, my wishes, my direction, where I thought I wanted to go, are all offline and no longer of importance. Only at that point did some of the experiences restart and continue. These are, however, mostly from a witness perspective.
The only area that appeared to maintain a common and steady thread of activity has been dreaming and lucid dreaming states. Something about dreaming creates a protected zone where the ego is allowed to come out and participate. 

I can, of course, ask for things and try to communicate with these other aspects of myself, with some success.

I have also noticed multiple times that if you challenge your memory while in an OOB state, you will usually find that you are not who you think you are when awake.
So, to each their own, of course. But becoming each of the many parts of yourself, instead of trying to drag the current version of your ego into the other selves, might help to prevent loss of ability and burn out symptoms. Your intent and will power will simply get you filtered, locked, blocked, or drive you into some mental health problem zone.

I do think, with plenty of opposition from those who practice systems that employ guides, spirits, or other entities, that most of these entities are simply the other aspects of self I'm referring to, and they are you, and not something foreign. Keeping them separated as if they are individual entities is what appears to work for many people.

I would hope we can map out the locks, blocks, and filter systems at some point in time and back that up with proper research and experimentation.

One of the major things I noted many years ago was what I often see here on the forum, being referred to as "burn out" or other terminology, where you were on a roll and having projections, controlling dreams, PK, success with RV, or any of the other Psi subjects, and suddenly you are struggling with what you could do last week.

Emotions can be very powerful blocks to spiritual progress. Trauma can shut down spiritual capabilities entirely. Been there, done that.

From my own perspective, my own opinion on this, there is no "burn out" per se, with the exception of Psi that uses forms of internal energy related to internal energy storage. IMHO some PK is in this category, as are many forms of healing.

To me, there is very obviously a complicated and massive filter, lock, and block system in place, likely as was highlighted by the recent proposal that the frontal lobes are acting as Psi filters.
I see that there have been skeptical comments, yet we know from many other experiments that the frontal lobes, and the ego, are a hurdle to just about every type of Psi phenomena. Altered states have become a common ingredient necessary in just about every successful Psi experience with veridical evidence.

The frontal lobe cannot logically be a "filter" of spiritual capabilities in particular. Why else are there people with perfectly functional frontal lobes who have powerful spiritual capabilities, and then others who have the frontal lobes removed, and yet they gain nothing? So that can't be it.

From my own experiences, it isn't just the frontal lobe, there are many different systems in place that filter, lock, and block people into this time and space, and this format of consciousness. Alone the results some people get after brain damage, and from alternate brain neural networks, which shows these systems clearly, from Savant Syndrome to more permanent Psi abilities.

You seem to be assuming that there are maliciously-designed "locks" and "blocks". You are missing a more obvious and simple conclusion ~ the brain is just part of a filter, a structure, designed to mold and shape consciousness into a particular expression.

The more you damage the filter in certain ways, the more of a jump you will get in certain abilities. But that isn't exactly necessary, when near-death experiencers come back and have heightened spiritual capabilities, and their brains are probably not abnormal.

This "entity" you speak of sounds rather like your own Shadow ~ you are sabotaging yourself, unconsciously, without realizing it consciously, so it appears as a "demon". You seem to not pay attention to what is actually happening, so you fight it, resist it, which doesn't make the Shadow go away, but just become more insistent to be heard, to be recognized.

The Shadow is the aspect of our psyche that holds all of the rejected, feared, hated, repressed, suppressed qualities that we don't identify with, that are only recognizable by their projection onto outside elements ~ mirrors, by which they can be seen. But because we are taught these days to look outward, we often never think to look inward. Same with any demonic entities we may encounter ~ in my experience, it's so very often just our Shadow. But we cannot seem to psychologically recognize our Shadow as being ourself... not without a real emotional struggle, it seems.

I considered the possibility that these filter systems are by design, and had to think of the Anunnaki creating humans by combining their own DNA, and figuring out a way to block the talents this alien DNA supplies, and would then pass on to their creations. They likely didn't want humans to have them or use them, unless they unlock them for tasks like telepathic communication from orbit, or to enable them to levitate large stones for mining gold. And on and on... but that knowledge doesn't help us to bypass these filters, or to shut them down when we want. Perhaps some day in the future we will figure out the filter, lock and block DNA and edit it?

Have you considered that this is a pointless diversion? The filter is only in effect while we are incarnate ~ it is just part of being an incarnate being. There is no "block" or "lock" ~ it's not even part of DNA, which has no influence on our spiritual capabilities. What influences it is our psyche ~ one can train themselves to be more open, and that can take lifetimes, as it seems to have been for me.

I'm having trouble doing any of the things I could apparently do in past lifetimes, and I've learned that it is because of my powerful emotional blocks, many layers of them. So that spiritual strength has been going towards healing these wounds instead. It makes some sense, as after I healed my major childhood trauma, I was able to sense a lot more within myself that was previously entirely hidden from me. It also takes practice ~ spiritual capabilities can be like a mental muscle.

One of the more obvious things I noticed is that when people use drugs, or dive down rabbit holes, the experiences are not really useful for Psi development, but these activities tend to suck people in and lock them into this mindset where they can no longer think freely, or observe the obvious. Critical thinking is shut down, while they think they are thinking outside the box, or having special experiences, when they are actually just boxed in and blocked from actual or meaningful use of Psi. Religion is one of these interesting areas of established dogma, where it is very rare if anyone ever achieves anything the religion promises, yet they are all stuck repeating the same dogma, and trying to spread it like a disease into the minds of others.

Can you... not see an irony here? You are doing a very deep dive down a perceived rabbit hole of your own... so, how do you know that, to use your own words, your critical thinking is not being shut down, where you think you are thinking outside the box, or are having special experiences, when you are actually just boxed in and blocked from actual or meaningful use of spiritual capabilities?

We tend to be our own worst enemies at times.

I do think, with plenty of opposition from those who practice systems that employ guides, spirits, or other entities, that most of these entities are simply the other aspects of self I'm referring to, and they are you, and not something foreign. Keeping them separated as if they are individual entities is what appears to work for many people.

Time, experience and observation has demonstrated otherwise where my spirit guides / guardian angels are concerned. But then, they appear to be rather shamanic in nature ~ I may have met most of them through Ayahuasca, but some I also connected with outside of Ayahuasca, after I healed that childhood wound 8 years of drinking the brew.

The frontal lobe cannot logically be a "filter" of spiritual capabilities in particular. Why else are there people with perfectly functional frontal lobes who have powerful spiritual capabilities, and then others who have the frontal lobes removed, and yet they gain nothing? So that can't be it.

It would be nice if you could actually support this false statement with some facts, we already have facts to the contrary of your "Can't be it" position, so please state this as an opinion, since it is an obvious bias statement to people following the science studies. Perhaps it would be worth your while to study more before trying to rip down other people with your emotional bias and outbursts.

You would also please note that I expressed multiple times, "from my perspective" "to me" "my opinion" in a "members general personal experiences" thread. This is not an invite for you to try and negate everything and twist it into your own opinion where you try very hard to dismantle my opinion with useless and childish nonsense like claiming I don't see irony, my words are pointless, that I'm assuming, while admitting to years of drug use and emotional issues. I suppose that somehow makes you superior and able to talk down to other forum members while trying your best to trash anything you don't agree with using bitter and bullying statements.

Can you do anything that has veridical evidence, or are you just posing here and acting like your way and your experiences, your opinions, are the only valid thing on this forum?
