Summary: My definitions.


To start off, let me introduce myself.  My name is Sam Spitzner.  I
have been studying this field intently for the last 5 years.  I have
taught for about 3 1/2 of them.  The place that I learned most of my
information from (and the vehicle I used to teach from) was called
the School of Metaphysics.

In reply to your question about whether psionics originate in the
brain or the mind, I draw a very distinct line.  Psionics originate
in the mind.  The brain is a physical organ, so therefore, would
deal with physical things.  The brain dies with the physical body,
so it has no capability of carrying on memories.  The mind never
dies.  It is that part of us that is immortal.  There are many
levels of the mind, and psychic abilities originate in different
levels.

On the subject of witchcraft, I believe that this makes use of
psychic abilities.  The reason I feel this way is that a person who
practices witchcraft manipulates energy to create a certain
condition or circumstance.  This energy is non-physical.

Psionics would deal with any action that manipulates non-physical
energy.

As is always the case, these are my opinions, and no one elses.
